GPRS/MMS not working with XDA IIs

i always get this error message:
The answering modem has disconnected. To check your connection settings and change them if needed, tap Settings.
i have already set my gprs/mms settings. i tried using my sim on another fone and i was able to send/receive mms. anyone encountered this error?
btw, any smart users here using xda 2s? any one of you having problems sending/receiving mms and accessing gprs? i used the automatic configuration whenever the phone performs a hard reset (xda 2s phone bought from smart has an automatic configuration both for smart and globe). i also tried using the cab file from http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=20826.
tnx!

Try a manual setting -- http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=21900 has a Virgin setting tutorial. That might help!

Dilip, I noticed that you live in India and would like to know if you have GPRS working. If so, what carrier are you using? I'm using Hutch and was told that they didn't support GPRS on Pocket PC phones, which is hard to believe..

Cingular
I am looking for help with GPRS/MMS on an XDA IIs activated on Cingular.

contact your service provider they will give you your gprs and mms settings. im thinking we should have a sticky for this.

Manuel network selection

On my Ipaq 6515 with WM2003 I could change my network selection from automatic to manuel and in doing this it would give me a list of cell towers in the area and I would be able to choose what cell tower I wanted to connect to. I would like to be able to do this on this phone as well because at my home I only get one bar on my phone and on my Ipaq I could change it to manuel and pick what cingular cell tower I wanted and I would have a full signal

As far as I know the problem with network selection is not in the phone but in the Cingular SIM card. I have a TyTN (unlocked and unbranded) which alows me to choose the network when I insert into my PDA any SIM card except for that of the Cingular. As soon as I insert the Cingular SIM card the Network selection drop-down menu disappears. If I'm not mistaken, this issue was discussed on this forum and on one of the Cingular forums. Unfortunately I can't provide you with the link as I don't remember where exactly I read this information.

Well thanks for the reply I will see if I can find that thread I didnt know if it was just something to do with wm05 or 06 I also used a cingular simcard in my Ipaq as well crazy isnt anyway thanks alot

Start > Settings > Connections > Connections > Advanced, Select 'Networks' then change the first drop down to your service provider's Internet settings.
My one is set to 'Optus Internet Settings'.
Give that a try

No, it doesn't work,
when i start the "sign in to windows live", it shows"windows live was unable to establish an internet connection", in fact, i can go to a site with the internet explorer,

Just checked with my phone, if I set my connection to WAP I can open internet pages but get the following when trying to sign in to messenger
"There was a problem signing in to Messenger. It may be the service or you may be in a place with bad reception. Please try again later"
Setting it back to the internet settings gives me access again.
Have a play around with your connection settings. What provider are you with, and in which country?

i'm in france, with the operator SFR of vodafone, but i flashed the official rom of wm6 english version which belongs to asia.

The ROM you have installed will have customized network settings for the region - asia. You will need to edit them to your providers settings.

I am having the same problem. I am using the HTC new WM6 ROM. My settings are correct as I can surf the internet (not Wap) but cannot seem to login in Windows Live or Messenger.

not all operators open for the ports required to use IM programs as it hurt their sms mms and such earnings
because grps is based pr MB where sms and the likes are priced pr sendt

GPRS settings (or any other paid settings)

I want to change some settings of my Trinity (running WM6 on it)
I only want to use my network for calling, recieving/sending sms and recieving/sending mms. And not for internet by using GPRS or any other paid connections. What do I have to change in the settings?
The only way that I want to use internet is by ActiveSync, WiFi or bluetooth.
I have a dutch provider (Telfort, free roaming on KPN-network) I don't think that this is important but it can't harm to tell you
I also don't mind when you want to answer in dutch but english is oké to!

Go to Start, Settings, Connections, Connections, Advanced, Select networks and check your settings.
If not possible, in worst case delete the settings for GPRS.

But what do I have to change there?

You won't need a data connection for voice calls and SMS but you will need one for MMS messages. Go to Start/Settings/Connections Tab/Connections/Tasks/Add a new modem connection. Name the connection anything you'd like or leave as My Connection, select Modem as GPRS, 3G, then all you need is to enter is the APN name which I believe for Telfort is: internet. Leave all other settings default. You will also need to enter the MMS settings for Telfort; let me know if you need help with that.

If you have existing settings you can also go to Start/Settings/Connections Tab/Connections/Tasks Tab/Manage existing connections and enter the correct APN.

I have entered the correct mms settings (at least, I entered the settings that are given on the telfort site for pda for WM5. But I guess it will work fine on WM6 to )
So the problem isn't that I don't know how te use my mms. But I want to be sure that it doesn't make any other data connection. For example a internet connection or any other data connection except sending/recieving mms.

MMS will use GPRS when sending or receiving, so it uses the same access point as if you were using Internet Explorer. If you are trying to not use any data it won't work. Internet Explorer or Email Account will also use GPRS unless you have an active Wi Fi session open. I'm not sure if Telfort allows MMS server access if you don't go through their APN, so using Wi Fi with MMS may not work. You'll have to give it a try.

Isn't it possible to say that only mms has the rights to use gprs. And to only block internet and e-mail from using gprs?

This may be possible by editing the registry. Maybe someone in this forum knows how to do this. I'll do some research and let you know if I find an answer.

Ok I hope that it is possible. Everytime when I use WiFi at this moment, I'm in complete fear No but I will be more relaxed using my phone to the max, knowing it won't cost me a thing

Go to a telfort shop let them delete your apn settings

Cannot connect EDGE problem.

Hi Friends!
Now seems that I have a serious problem, my Diamond still with the "Cannot connect" problem, displaying the following message in any data transfer attempt:
"Cannot connect for an unknown reason. To check your connection settings and change them if needed, tap Settings. If the problem continues, reset your mobile device according to your manufacture's documentation and try again."
It started just after updating from TLR2 to TLR3 ROM and Unsigned Hard SPL from OliNex, where radio version also changed.
Before that everything was working nice but now I have nice voice and WIFI quality, GPS and SMS are working as it should, but no GPRS/EDGE data connection.
Ive checked the connection settings lots of times, tried all RADIO versions and reflashed the following ROMs with the following Claro (Brazil) connection settings:
Settings > Connections > Connections > My ISP
APN: claro.com.br
User: claro
Pass: claro
Proxy settings: Only first box checked.
Tried setting network band manually for GSM, PAP and CHAP authentication, enabled and disabled HSDPA without success.
ROMs flashed for tests:
- RUU_Diamond_HTC_Europe_1.35.401.3_Radio_Signed_Diamond_52.26.25.09_0.93.25.26_Ship
- RUU_Diamond_HTC_WWE_1.37.871.3_Radio_Signed_Diamond_52.26a.25.09_1.00.25.03_Ship
- RUU_Diamond_HTC_WWE-ME_1.93.456.2_Radio_Signed_Diamond_52.29.25.12_1.00.25.05_Ship
- tlr-diamond-2.08.07.01
- tlr-diamond-3.08.07.16
The same SIM card works perfectly in another cell phone, so I think it isnt the problem as shouldnt be with operator CLARO, here in Brazil.
Ive noticed, doing some internet search, that this problem used to happen in other HTC models, but I couldnt figure a way to solve the problem or what were its true origin.
I really need some help with this issue, since data transfer is very important to me.
Tnx in advance for your attention and help!

Some news:
Finally Ive discovered that my Daiamond is from Honk Kong after searching its part number.
I downloaded the RUU_Diamond_hTC_Asia_HK_WWE_1.93.831.1 ROM and got a surprise that it now have the Claro, and other operators from Brazil, connection settings in HTC Connection Setup, so the connection settings itself shouldnt be the issue.
The "cannot connect" problem persists...
I should donate to someone that can help me solve this problem, since I dont have any more hints to solve it...
Tnx!

Any settings in your Proxy settings field?

Hi Laubscherc;
Double checked that too, even in automatic settings from "HTC Connection Settings Tool"
Anyone knows if there is any way to make any kind of log or debug to see while it tries to connect?

I think Im getting some hint about my problem with EDGE/GPRS connection. Ive entered field test mode by dialing *#*#364#*#* and in the Group GPRS / E-GPRS I can see some fields displaying 255: <Unknown> parameter.
Some of the fields are RLC: Uplink Coding Scheme, RLC: Downlink Code Scheme, MAC mode and others.
I think it should display the settings to work with my operator, but the question is why they arent filled and how to correct this? There some kind of editor for those settings?

alfatag i have exactly the same problem as you.. and as you too don't know how to figure it out. Allready posted a thread here as you did, but nobody helped. I hope some one who know a lot about the subject can help us. At least is better now, i was thinking i was the only one who have such a big problem. ^^
If u want to, add me on msn = [email protected]
BYE

Same problem with Edge Connection
I´m facing the same problem. Have someone resolved this issue? I´m using the Claro operator too.
