I often lose my data connection. Only thing I know of to do is reboot, which takes a while. Any way I can force data connection back on? I cannot choose it Comm manager.
Hi Rocky2,
I have the *exact* same problem. I don't have a solution, though.
I've tried disabling all other connections (Bluetooth, WiFi, Activesyc) but no go.
It appears that the connection must be automatically started when there is an application asking for it (e.g. PocketIE). The error mesage I get is that the "The current connection cannot be used for your request. Please end the current connection and try again."
This suggests that it thinks there is a connection, so it doesn't need to start GPRS. I haven't been able to find out which connection is active.

It's frustrating because even firing up an application that needs the connection (Outlook e-mail, for example) won't start the data connection. Instead, Outlook fails because it cannot connect to server. Maybe WM6 will be better about this.
Tmobile wm6‘s tzones starts up the data connection even after you losing it everytime I try.
Try turning off the radio, then back on. This should force a new connection.
Hi merde,
Turning off the radio doesn't work for me. Besides is very slow too (typing sim pin code..). Even with all connections disabled, some how the connection manager still thinks there is a connection.
Like rocky I'm hoping WM6 resolves it.
I'm considering a hard reset, see what that does..
Hm...
It appears I have the same problem for Wifi... Today it happened twice that I had a wifi connection but no SSID (network name). And then same problems like with the GPRS...
Strange

There seems to be a problem with my Orbit's data connection. When it is first turned on it doesn't automatically show whether I'm in GPRS or EDGE area. It just has the two opposing arrows and an "x". Tapping on this pops up a window and it states that programs will automatically choose when to use a data connection. Ok, great. That shouldn't be a problem. Connecting with PIE or Opera 8, the data connection automatically starts the connection and stays connected. Even after closing either browser. Which is good because this brings me to my problem. I also have the email program called Good loaded. If I try to start this before one of the above browser's, it will try to connect, then show it connected, then drop the connect back to the "G" or "E". 10 seconds later it trys again. It does this for 3 or 4 times then gives me an error stating "there's a problem with my data connection in the roaming area...". But, if I connect to PIE or Opera first, my email client works just fine. This is also a problem if I make/take a phone call. This closes the data connection, my email client tries to reconnect but can't.
This brings me to my questions (yeah!). Is there a registry hack to make the data connection stay connected always? Meaning after a soft reset it auto connects, and, after a call it auto connects as well? Thanks.
I have exactly the same problem. Basically I need to start IE first after a soft reset to make a connection. After that I start Goodlink to use the connection, and access to email etc. The connection also drops periodically, anywhere between 1 to 20 hours. Also, if I perform a synch using ActiveSync, I have re-start IE to get a connection again each time. Therefore, connecting and reconnecting is a issue unless you use IE.
I've used the GB-Soft Tweak, set to "GPRS Aways On", but it makes little difference. Tried to change one or two registry settings, but get message stating it's not accessible, and read-only !. I think unless anyone has any other idea's, we'll have to wait for any forthcoming ROM updates for this fix. Clearly the Artemis is having issues with GPRS connections for Goodlink, unlike it does for other applications that requires a data connection.
Other than that one major bug, works perfectly.
I've fixed mine. Made the following registry hack (mine saves so I guess it's unlocked).
Edit the following:
HKLM\ConnMgr\Provider\7C4BA38*****\TMobile U.S.
The "*****" folder may be different on your device. TMobile U.S. is what I called my Internet Connection in Connections. Your's wll be different of course. Edit the following: AlwaysOn from 0 to 1
Once I reset, the device comes up an automatically connects. No launching IE or Opera. Reconnects after a phone call too. The only time it doesn't is after connecting to a computer and using ActiveSync. Still working on this.
Hi,
Many thanks for the tip. It worked !. The issue was the Regitsry Editor I was using, not allowing access to change the registry key, but changed to PHM's Registry Editor, made the change and like yourself after soft reset, connected, and so far hasn't dropped.
Let me know if you get any work-arounds for the remaining issue i.e. after connecting to a PC using ActiveSync.
Cool! Glad it worked. I wonder if it's one of those issues where Good isn't "officially" supported on the Orbit. I work in IT and I know how vendors can be when you call them for a non-supported device.
Everytime after I run the Windows Live Messenger, my machine never stop auto-connect. I stop it manually, then it try to re-connect...... until I soft reset =.="
Did you try stopping it with WML closed?
1) sign out the WLM
2) close the WLM
3) comm. manager -> stop data connection
.

then it starts to re-connect =.="
This is one of the first things I figured out.
Go into settings, then connections, and create a 'fake' connection which will have empty parameters.
When you don't want to use your GPRS/3G/HSDPA connection at all, set your internet connection to point to the 'fake' connection. Anything that tries to use a 3G connection, such as messenger, will try to connect and fail only once, and never bother you after that. When you need your regular connection, just go into settings -> connections, and switch your profile to your operators connection.
No Data
You might want to try this little app.

As the author states, it's very handy for when you're abroad, but I tend to use it when watching video to stop the connection bubble interfereing with my viewing.
happens to me when using wifi n start wlm. wants to use 3g/hsdpa as default.
i just turn phone off until i start the app, then enjoyh quiet of no phone for a while if u miss ur phone turn it back on afterwards. it will use the wifi after that once connected.
I have the exact smae problem.. do later versions of messenger live resolve it? I haven't tried yet.
Hi friends,
I have a terrible problem with my fine TouchPro2.
It constantly loses the wifi-connection. My old TouchPro1 never had these issues.
I have the actual HTC stockROM installed. Tried WiFiMonster - but again. After a few seconds it loses the connection.
Sometimes I'm able to download three, four mails, but then it breaks again :-(
Any idea?
re
To be more specific: WiFi goes off after 30 sec. or so. :-(
does wifi turn off? or simply disconnect? if it's disconnecting, first thing i'd do is reboot my router with wifi enabled on the phone and see if the connection improves. if wifi is physically turning off i'd guess it's an issue in the rom. maybe try another rom? and make sure wifi is set to "best performance" on phone.
Is this everywhere or on a specific router?
Does your connection drop after a certain activity (e.g. screen going into standby, opening a specific program, etc.)? Also, have you tried to backup your device and perform a hard reset?
Similar Problems
I've been having similar problems for about two weeks now.
I have tried several things like hard reset, soft reset, changing the rom, playing with the wireless connection and just about everything in the connection folder but no.
I my case, when I turn the wifi connection on through the comm. manager, it slows down the phone while its trying to connect and then it just goes off, leaving me with t-mo data connection. However, when I turn off data connections in comm. manager, it connects to the router and stays connected but it does nothing with the connection. Meaning, I am connected to the router, but somehow I won't be able to use the connections.
If anyone have any suggestion(s), I would greatly appreciated it.
solved...
Thx guys,
I performed a Hardreset and testet one by one the installed software... and found it: I installed a CommManager and it caused the WiFi-Problem :-(
thx

What do you mean "slows down the phone"?

If your wifi connects but you cant get out, check to make sure you don't have the proxy box checked in connection settings. I have seen this box mysteriously become checked in the past.
Just a little comment
I will be getting TP2 very soon, but speaking of WiFi problems in general..
I had 3 phone: TyTN II, Samsung Omnia & iPhone 3g. only the TyTN could connect to WiFi at home while the other two can connect but will not get any data... however, they worked flawlessly in numerous other locations...
the problem was with my linksys router
apparently some older routers not compatible with the newer devices...
just wanted to share
Ok. As of today, it seems to be working, thanks for the help. However, I think it might have been my router. I think it had something to do with overheating because I put my modem on top of it. But the funny part was, everything, with the exception of my phone, was connecting. However, the connection was never really strong or reliable.
Anywho, thanks for the suggestion, even though it didnt really help me, I appreciate the gesture.
Okay, I can connect to the Internet when I'm using my Wi-Fi connection with no problem, and also when I'm connected via MediaNet. However, when my Wi-Fi connection is on, I get connection errors when trying to connect to Marketplace, AppCenter, etc. I can still navigate the Internet just fine, otherwise, but if I want to connect to the Marketplace, I have to shut the Wi-Fi connection off.
My guess is I fat-fingered a connection setting, but I don't know which one and what the settings should be. Can anyone help me out with the default connection settings for an AT&T Tilt 2? I don't like the idea of having to use my plan data usage to access Marketplace and such.
Thanks
Do you turn off the proxy when using Wifi?
Nope, didn't mess with the proxy setting.
I dug around more elsewhere and found someone with a similar problem relating to authentication for Marketplace. The fix, for Marketplace at least, is to simply uninstall Marketplace. The shortcut remains, so click on that and it asks if you want to install Marketplace. Seems to work just fine after that. Not terribly concerted with AppCenter, and I don't think you can uninstall that, anyway.
So Marketplace is working once more, but the AT&T stuff is still a no-go. AppCenter/Media Mall, Mobile Video, Navigator, etc. won't connect. I ran the restore proxy cab, which did nothing, so I disabled it again. Not sure what I goofed up to render those apps useless.
Make sure you have MediaNet as your selected network. The AT$T ISP is suddenly very flaky.
Is anyone else having problems connecting to (and staying connected) to a Wi-Fi network? Before & after rooting (no rom change, still stock), there are instances where the phone will be connected to my home wifi network, then out of no where the connection will tank. The phone states that it is still connected to the network, but all apps (ie: chrome, speedtest.net, brave frontier) state that there is a connection error. I disconnect from the network, reconnect, then everything will go back to normal for about 1 minute, then the phone loses connection again. Any help or suggestions that anyone could give me would be much appreciated!
Try going to another location where there's wifi. If it doesn't cut on you then there is a possibility it's you're router.
