Hey guys,
I recently upgraded my T-Mobile UK MDA Compact III to WM6.
I now have an intermittent problem with the GPRS/Internet. Basically, if fails to connect.
From what I've read, I think I need to delete my current connection settings, and then run the CAB from the WM5 Rom.
Has anyone on T-Mobile UK, done this with success? If so, can you point me in the direction of the CAB file you used?
Cheers,
Tim
I just set mine up manually.
Go to T-Mobile Website, click on phone support
http://www.t-mobile.co.uk/help-and-advice/phone-support/
enter your phone number and follow instructions for setting up MMS and you get a .pdf with instructions to set up both GPRS and MMS.
Delete any current settings and follow the above instructions.
I too am getting these issues. I have recently upgraded to the WWE dopod WM 6 rom (official HTC release) 3.7.707.1. I started to notice that if my phone was out of reception for any amount of time GPRS would fail to reconnect until a soft reset was performed. I have added the radio 02.94.90 to try and resolve this but no joy. I have added the GPRS settings exactly as per the TMob site again no joy. GPRS Auth is set to PAP which I think is correct.
One point to note is that I have not installed any items from the Dopod ext rom.
Once I have soft reset the connection will be fine until I lose reception again.
Hi,
Same issue here with all WM6 ROMs I've tried so far (to at least some extend). Most noticable is irritating behavior in Google Maps with WM6. In WM5 when the connection is unavailable the GPS tracking just continues till data comes in again. In WM6 the result is an error message. It's one of the reasons that makes me consider going back to WM5 for quite a while now. New features are nice but if old ones aren't at least as solid as before it makes no sense when you need them.
Recently I bumped into the every same issue you describe (requiring a soft reset) with B&B 3.7.. Which is a step worse in terms of stability then what I experienced before. At the same time there have been periods that I don't bumb into the issue. So I'm not sure what the cause is. My guess is that it's triggered when you've been in a bad reception area for some time.. But I don't have any hard facts to confirm the exact trigger of the problem.

I thought i'd try hard resetting my phone today to see if it would help but still no joy. the problem appears to affect voice as well as data and only occurs after at least 15 - 20 mins out of reception.
any ideas folks? I would go back to wm5 but the tmobile rom isn't available.
Hi All,
I have thesame problem previously with my Wizard. Found out that one my today plug-in is the culprit. The plug-in is "Battery Status Today ......" the one that shows the , Operator's name, speed, temp, V, A etc of your PPC on the today screen.
I dunno whether this is true and working for anyobe but in my case, my GPRS back to normal after after disable the plug-in. You can try the same too.
Other way, is to disable all non-standard today plug-in, test your Egde/GPRS with connect and disconnect(pressing the red button for more than 3seconds).
Activate one plug-in at a time and do the same test. Hopefully, you can indentify the problem and solve it.
regards,
morisa
Downloading the O2 ROM to see if that helps.. I have a feeling it might resolve this issue (fingers crossed!). I will post back here if it does.
Cheers

Once off the tube this morning my phone connected straight up and downloaded my emails. I hope I'm not speaking too soon but I think the O2 ROM has resolved the issue which would suggest it is a bug in the Dopod SEA ROM.
I will probably get the radio upgraded to 02.94.90 at some today and test that too.
Cheers
Alex
02.95.90 is now available

Norwegian users are having a huge problem with GPRS connection. You can only connect to GPRS once. The next time you try it fails. You must either turn flightmode on or soft reset the device to get connected again.
This happened after Dangaard Telecom Norway released the 1.40 ROM upgrade.
Does anyone have a solution to this problem? Dangaard has not released a fix to this annoying problem!
Øystein
I do have the same problem in Canada after I upgrade from I-mate website.
Having the same problem with t-mobile in the US. I have done more soft resets in the last 12 hours with this update, than the last 5 months with the old update..
Still no fix out to solve this ANNOYING problem?!
Same here. It is getting very annonying. I have tried everything from phonealarm to gprs control panel and nothing will make it so that the gprs is always on.
I hope someone finds a fix to this. I am almost tempted to go back to 1.39, hmmm, almost! :wink:
I solved my problem by removing EVERYTHING out of the extended rom and doing a hard reset. I am still slowly installing the extended rom files one at a time to find out which install is causing the problem.
GPRS is working perfectly since I did this. No problems connecting or re-connecting.
GPRS issues
Hey guys I'm using the Qtek version of the 1.40 ROM.
I'm also experiencing the same problem.
In addition, anyone find that whenever after using the camera, the screen brightness is always blasted to the fullest?
Kinda problematic huh?
Guys--you won't believe this, but the problem is it's the NETWORK! If you have a GSM/GPRS XDA II running on T-mobile or Cingular in the US and you've been having problems with the gprs disconnect you're not alone.
I've spoken repeatedly to Dubai--they know it's an issue and they're working n a fix but don't have a time frame yet. I've downgraded to the original ROM and I've cooked the ROM using 1.40 and downgradng the caller ID files to the 1.17 build to eliminate the gprs disconnect problem.
NOTE: if you use a goodlink or other push technology this is a pretty good fix, but the problem still comes and goes because the problem is the NETWORK!
I get a t-mobile tech I know to level with me today on the phone. The fact is, the 'internet.3.voicestream.com answering modem disconnected please check your settings or reset your device' message is occuring because there are intermitent problems on the t-mobile (and he claims cingular as well) networks do to infrastructure damage. It seems some of the e-mail servers and answering modems were clustered in the south. T-mobile knows this but isn't talking about it.
So, before you strip your device down again and rebuild from scratch (AGAIN!), soft reset. Use the phone and disconnect the gprs. Try again later. The network may be up then.
Damn, I wish they had told me that before. I've spent weeks and days rebuilding this device with different ROM versions.
Right now I'm back on ROM version 1.02 that shipped with the IMATE (PDA2K_CDLWWWE_11222_169_10200_ship.exe you can download that fromt he IMATE web site or from onthe gosolutions via FTP) device because that's what certified with the goodlink license. Can't hurt. Then I can yell at goodlink too.
But so you know the issue looks network related!
oh good grief......I was seriously about to do something like that and decided to check the forum out one last time before i did.....and am I grateful that I did!!!!
I used to be able to connect to the TMobile GPRS network pretty ok...now I have to either toggle the flight mode or soft reset it every time just to get it to connect.....no amout of tweaking the connections or even the clubimate CAB file have made no difference....I have the 1.40 and the radio is at 1.12...and as I mentioned, it was working last week...and now its this...I didn't want to upgrade to the radio 1.13 and after seeing this,I am going to wait......I have had enough of my PDA2K crashing on me..... :x
I'm experiencing strange problem with GPRS on WMXL 0.10
After upgrade, GPRS can attach just when radio starts.
When attached, GPRS works just fine, but if GPRS occasionally deattaches (corresponding icon with 2 opposite arrows and 'x'), there's no way to attach it, besides restart of radio (phone off/on through comm.manager, or network select).
If I set "search [G] on start GPRS connection" via GB-Soft Tweak (instead of default "Search GPRS [G] on start radio") it never connects (unless network reconnect happens)
PIE silently does nothing, Opera says "Could not establish network connection [Error:33]".
Before upgrade WM5 could easily reattach GPRS if it was off.
Any ideas ? I've searched through the forum with no success.
Radio versions 1.35, 1.34, 1.27 were tried with the same symptoms (SSPL)
Thank you in advance.

I would wait and see if the same happens on v0.2 ??
Have you used HTweakC to set the auto-attach? That is how I do it and I must say that I've not experienced this issue.

Certainly, i'll upgrade to 0.20 as soon, as it would be possible.
But I wonder, if i'm the one, who meet the problem.
Im the same. My connection on WM5 AKU3.3 was rock solid and if lost, would always reconnect. Now it is upredictable at best. Probably 80% of the time its fine but if I disable the connection overnight using bandswitch when the connection reenables I can pretty much guarantee that the data connection wont reconnect. None of the programs that should start it such as activesync will do so.
This is the one glitch that has had me considering going back to WM5, but Im hanging on for the next version hoping this will come right.
Ive tried different radio roms but makes no change. Currently using 1.27 which seems to be the best of the bunch.
Really want to stay with WM6 as I love the built in apps, especially the new email but this seems like a typical beta glitch.

Yes, and it works - when radio starts, GPRS successfully attaches and everything is alright.
Until it occasionally deattaches (2 contrary arrows and 'x' icon instead of [G] appears) and there's no way to use it, besides radio restart or network reselect.

Well, I've flashed AKU3.3 and GPRS reattaches transparently.
Is WMXL 0.2 worth of trying in order to fix this issue in your opinion?
Or, it needs "special" radio version? It seems interaction with Radio has changed in WM6.
I have the same experience with WMXL 0.10, when the connection is lost trying to reconnect will crash the connection manager.
No matter how many times you tap in the PIN for your SIM it will not reconnect.
So then it is down to soft reset or switching off to get things working again.
The HSDPA addin also don't seem to work for me. Even after shutting down the 3G / GPRS connection to change the band in HTweakC or in settings/phone/band.
i'm experiencing exactly the same.
after connection is lost gprs won't reconnect or if so it takes very long (10min?) even with a good reception. my gprs and 3g connection was very solid before upgrading to wm6. tried 1.27 and 1.35, same problems. even with nothing installed: same problem.
i've never experienced anything like that before. not on my hermes with wm5, not on my htc wizard or htc universal with wm6.
it has to be something about hermes and wm6. i don't know what it is. i did a HR many times and wanted to see which app is causing the problem (actually resco explorer runs weird on my hermes with wm6), but nothing. as i said even with nothing installed (just the pushmail being used) it's still the same.
and it's really annoying.
still no solution or explanation?
same problem here, FWIW. no solution AFAIK. I see Daniel has found some bug in WM6 as it relates to his bandswitcher app here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1169643#post1169643
facing same problem with k-jam (wizard) in WM6
i tried all radio ROMs but of no use
as soon as i shift back to WM5, it works flawless. i think the problem is with wm6
What is WITH everyone bumping the old WMXL threads???
I have an interesting situation with my Orbit. This never occurred with WM5, but only since WM6.
Description:
After a fresh boot, the device works perfect, and connects to GPRS when needed, and I am able to direct push my email all day long. Now, if I go into Comm Manager, and stop the phone radio, and then start it again, I am no longer able to connect to GPRS, and neither are any other applications. ActiveSync and DP don't work anymore, neither does IE.
The only solution to the above is to soft reset the device again, and things go back to normal.
Troubleshooting:
I've tried the regkey to keep GPRS always on. I've also tried to disable any today plugins that could be causing this issue. I've even tried a hard reset, but the same behaviour occurs. Oddly enough, this problem also occurs on a WM6 based Hermes device, and never did before when using WM5.
Something weird is going on with GPRS and WM6 in general. Sometimes, I will be on the train without reception, and when my phone gets signal again, GPRS will say it is connected, but it is not. I have to soft reset.
Needless to say this is annoying. Can somebody confirm that this issue exists with the base O2 WM6 rom? What about some of the other ROMs here that you guys/girls have? Does the same behaviour occur? My ROM and radio are just the defaults, no upgrades, etc.

Hi There,
I am well aware of the problem, I currently work in a telecoms company and the main device we ship out is the XDA Orbit (Artemis).
Currently we are downgrading all devices so as to ignore the problem, but a permanent solution is being worked upon.
The HTC Touch's radio is identical to that of the Artemis, this problem does NOT exist on the Touch (Thanks for testing Pof!) So I atleast have ground to work upon, it is not related to the radio itself but the RIL (Radio Interface Layer) driver.
I'll let you all know if (or rather WHEN) I find a solution.
i've had loads of trouble with this issue and here are my findings:
the dopod sea 3.7 rom and and anything else based on it are the worst affected.
the o2 wm6 rom isn't too bad
tom and meschle's roms are both pretty much fine
I do a 20 minute tube journey every day so i have tested this quite well!
cheers
alex
I'm having the same issue in the Artemis Touch 2.1 Rom.
I found that when I disabled the Phone option, the Flightmode-option would enable. Now, when I want to enable the phone, I tab the Flightmode option to disable Flightmode. It then enables the phone automatically and successfully opens the GPRS connection.
Just done this a couple of times but for now this seems to be a workaround.

The times I have had the issue with the O2 rom and the v.occasional times I have it with Tom/Meschle roms restarting the radio via flight mode always fixes it. With the Dopod and other 3.7 roms the whole radio seems to crash and you can't even get it into flight mode so soft reset is the only option.
This has been tested on all versions of the Artemis radio that are available.
same problem here on prophet. can connect. if i go ffline due to no signal, i cannot connect. after i switch to flightmode and activate phone again gpry works again. any patch?!.

Hello there,
What I Have: Att 8525 Herm100
Rom: Att's Mobile 6
Everything is stock but the extended life battery
The problem I am having is when ever I try to activate my WiFi the phone doesn't do anything. I am not sure if there is a wifi card or not but that's want I want to know. I have tried everything from activating it in com manager to going into the settings and activating it manually and nothing happens it acts like I didn't even hit the button to activate it. Is there a wifi card in the phone or is it integrated on the motherboard in the phone. Note: I bought this phone off e-bay and the wifi never worked when I received the phone.
I am new here and if there is a post about this already I am sorry.
I hate it when that happens.
To begin, there were two ATT OEM WM6 roms relevant to the 8525 that I noticed deep in the bowels of XGA.
I chose the later file (higher revision numbers) I found it here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Available Original Shipped WM6 ROM Versions
From comm manager when I click the tower button on within a second the spinning windoze icon shows something is happening. It then starts "sniffing" for my preset wifi connection (ATT supplied 2wire portal 802.11g).
Now, if yours does not show the spinning windoze working icon when you turn on wifi? There obviously is a problem. This could be software, or hardware related (duh). If there is no error message related to "wifi is not an option, unavailable, or screwed" then my first guess is there is something missing or damaged in the ROM update that was applied to your device. As far as I know all 8525 (herm100) were shipped with wm5. It had been mentioned in the volumes of xda that the first AT&T WM6 rom was a little buggy. Try the later released AT&T WM6 update.
It was a run file so no muss no fuss. Sync the phone run the update from the pc, three minutes later the phone is flashed to ATT WM6 professional.
You could take it to a ATT shop? But, I think that without a doubt they would hand it back and say you need a new phone with a 20 year contract and 3g data plan even Obama would blush at.
Try the hard reset. take a picture of the startup screens so you have the numbers and see if the wifi startup is working after the reset. If not then compare the numbers to the above mentioned roms. If the indications are you have the first issue of WM6 from ATT try flashing the second release. If that still fails then your device could indeed have a hardware problem.
The wifi is indeed built into the system and if that chip on the board is not working it could be a overly expensive problem. Possibly a shop has a working board they would swap out cheap? Otherwise, it is a fun phone you can keep notes on, run gps software if you have a bluetooth gps receiver and software like tomtom.
To be honest the wifi on my 8525 has been convenient when around the house to check the local weather radar when I hear a thunder outside, or browse headlines from the porcelain room or even leave messenger turned on incase a gamer friend is looking for someone to get shot up in a game.
I have used the live search voice thing to amaze the neighbors once. But, the limited range of wifi is a real drawback to how truly wonderful that addition could be.
HELP Please! Wi-Fi not working!!!
Hi to XDA all users !!!
MY Hermes - HTC TyTN [Herm200]
I bought HTC Hermes myself year ago.
there was flashed a WM5.0, I've just downloaded from here HARD SPL & WM6,1 (Custom) Flashed.
Wi-Fi will works on WM5.0.
Well here I am at 6.1 flashed and now is not working Wi-Fi. When i pressed Power ON - loading long and nothing happens.
Other methods are also tried on Commanager and Settings - but did not help.
What do I need to do my dear.
HELP!
Thank you for your attention!
Hi Nurk.
Since the wifi worked on wm5 but failed after the 6.1 flash. I would guess the problem is in the 6.1 components. You might start with contacting the kitchen rom you employed for WM6.1 thread and see if this has happened to others. Next step would be to check the radio rom version. I did see on xda an assortment of Radio roms.
If your not totally in love with the current rom you have flashed? Try another 6.1 or even a 6.5 and see whats poppin.
