Problems with tcp-connection over GPRS on nokia 6270

[darkgrey]

Hello everyone.

I have coded a midlet which downloads a few images from http-server over GPRS and publish them on the screen.

HttpConnection c = null;
        DataInputStream is = null;
        try {
            //a.getPort();
            c = (HttpConnection) Connector.open("http://www.whateversite.com/" +
                                                name);
            int status = c.getResponseCode();
            if (status != 200) {
                throw new IOException("HTTP Response Code = " + status);
            }

            int len = (int) c.getLength();
            String type = c.getType();
            if (!type.equals("image/png") && !type.equals("image/jpeg")) {
                throw new IOException("Expecting image, received " + type);
            }

            if (len > 0) {
                is = c.openDataInputStream();
                byte[] data = new byte[len];

                //String map_name = null;

                is.readFully(data);

............ and so one

Midlet works perfect on emulator (JBuilder + j2me).
On nokia 6270 device, while Connector.open() is trying to connect to server, "G" doesnt show up at the top left corner (which must indicate that GPRS connection established).
So the question is: should I connect 6270-device manualy before starting the midlet? If yes, then how? I didnt find any connect-manager on it..

ps. useing the default nokia 6270 web-browser, GPRS internet works without any problems. Browser connects to GPRS automaticly when Im trying to open any web-site.

Thanks in advance.

You probably do not have you network settings set properly

In the configuration settings you need to activate the default configuration settings. Also you need to have preferred access point specified there (If you do not have anything to choose from, you need to create an access point with correct settings yourself)

I have access point specifed. GPRS works well useing default nokia 6270 web-browser :\ GRPS doesnt work exactly from my midlet (I mean device doesnt connect to internet via GPRS automaticly when my midlet is trying to open tcp-connection).

Yes, it looks like your network settings for MIDlets are not properly set. Even if the browser works, the settings for MIDlets can be incorrect. Also you could check that there is no problem with your code by installing a simple midlet which tries to connect to the network (like this one hartti.com/FirstExample.jar - you should see a short string displayed on the screen if the network connection succeeds)

Your application asked for network access. Then I clicked "Yes" it printed a phrase on my native (Russian) language such as like "Application is working (loading?)...". Thats all.
And there was no "G" at the top left conner of the screen while midlet was loaded, since it must be :\

As for network settings _exactly_ for MIDlets, I cant find such thing in device gprs properties.

Ok, it is not pretty certain that the network access settings for midlets are not properly configured.

You need to have an access point configured (Personal Configuration Settings) which you then have to choose as your "Preferred access point".

I do not know the settings for your operator, unfortunately.
