Aaahhhhhhhhhhh
Can anyone help please?
I am running a PDA2K with i-mate 1.4 roms and radio 1.13.
Sometimes after a telephone call my GPRS fails to connect.
As I have Smartner push email on my phone this is a REAL pain and means I need to reset my device in order to re-establish GPRS and hence email.
THIS HAPPNES 4-8 TIMES A DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Any ideas for a fix out there please?
Cheers.
Robin
I've got this problem too. But i don't know how to make it work correctly!
Every time i need to reconnect the GPRS.
And i realy doesn't like it!!! :evil:
Try this chaps. I have applied the registry tweak and now I keep GPRS on all the time.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\ConnMgr\Providers\{7C4B7A38-5FF7-4bc1-80F6-5DA7870BB1AA}\Connections\(GPRS connection name)\AlwaysOn
Just change it from 0 to 1.
(GPRS connection name) is, of course, the name of your GPRS connection, and I'm not sure if that GUID is the same on
every machine or not, but I only had about 5 GUIDs under Providers, so it shouldn't be too hard to find.

This kinda sounds familiar to when I was last using my PDA2K about 6 months ago.
Okay.
HOW do I make this change please?
I have no idea how to do it?

Dude you need a PPC registry editor. I use EdReg.
Very similar to a normal windows registry editor.
Fatzzz
I have found something like that there: HKCU\Software\Microsoft\ConnMgr\Providers\{7C4B7A38-5FF7-4bc1-80F6-5DA7870BB1AA}\Connections\Providers\(GPRS Connevtion name)
But there is no key named "Always on"!!...
Well you have got further than I have.
I download PHM Registry Edit.
I opened KKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE then Comm and the only 2 options that start with a C under there are:-
Cellular Line and CXPort?????????
Is it something I am doing wrong????

Try ConnMgr!
NOPE.
Nothing.
Now I am getting really worried.
Either I am doing something very wrong or some of my setup is shot to peices.
And yet apart from this disconnect issue the phone is working fine!!!!!!
Robin
Okay.
It DOES help to check one of the check boxes asking for the kind of data I am looking for............. Dohhhhh
Well I found it under Microsoft.
I Have the following:-
Vodafone Internet
Vodafone MMS
Vodafone WAP and
Vodafone WAP CSD
NOTHING that says GPRS?
Any more ideas?
Cheers.

Hi
So no-one can help with this problem?
Looks like I am not the only one suffering and I am not the only one who cannot find the appropriate setting that needs to be changed?

GPRS problem
From another post someone indicated that in the new rom build its a problem with the caller ID program, and that downgrading this will help the issue:
Here is a step by step instruction:
1. Download the older version of caller-id from:
ftp://xda:[email protected]/BlueAngel/CAB_Files/Caller ID/IA_CallerID_1.20_WWE.CAB
and transfer it over to your device. Any directory is OK. I used ActiveSync to put it into the My Documents folder.
2. Remove the file IA_CD-Startup.exe from \Windows\Startup on your device.
3. Rename iacontacts.dll to something else (e.g. old-iacontacts.dll). This file is in the \Windows directory of your device but is hidden. However you can rename it using your PC. Open Windows explorer, and navigate to Mobile Device>My PocketPC>Windows.
4. Rename displayCID.dll to something else (e.g. old-displayCID.dll). Access it via your PC the same as for the previous step.
5. Soft reset
6. Run the CAB file on the device - just tap on it.
7. Soft reset.
That should do it.
Hope that helps someone, I have downgraded to the 1.22 rom which does not have this issue, but I am considering trying to upgrade to 1.40 and try this as a workaround to the gprs not able to reconnect issue, except after a soft reset or flight mode on/off cycle...
Many thanks.
I am off on holiday tomorrow so don't want to do anything that I cannot repare very quickly in case I have no phone while I am away.
I will give this a try on my return.
If anyone else tries this and is succesful please let us know.
Cheers.

GPRS Problems and caller Display
I too have been having problems with GPRS connecting once and then not again until a soft-reset or turning the phone off - on top of which caller display was slow and would often hang. (This is on an Alpine) I have succesfully downgraded the caller-id app and the GPRS problems have completely disappeared - on top of which, the app responds quicker, does not hang at all, and responds quicker on an incoming call. All in all, a result!
One note of caution - I had a password on my machine, and after renaming the files and doing a soft reset (as per instructions above) my Alpine would not restart. I had to to a hard reset! if you have a password on yr machine, disable it before you do the downgrade. The GPRS issue was really my only problem with my XDA, and now I'm a happy bunny. :lol:
Im just had to install this. Will see if it will be ok. I'll let you know.
I installed yesterday.
Seems to be working a treat.
EXCELLENT.
Many thanks for all the help.

Hi Robin - Glad to hear all is ok.. I notice that you're running the i-mate 1.40 ROM.. Any thoughts of updating to the 1.42..?
Cheers!
Has anyone figured out how to get your carrier to display correctly after flashing Rom. My carrier is Cincinnati Bell Wireless and it is now displaying 310420 instead. Thanks
Try http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1019932&highlight=operator+name#post1019932
appreciate it. and for the record I was doing searches and I for some reason wasnt finding it. thanks
Hey man, I know the search isn't as good as it could be. I knew I'd seen an answer for this and after a couple of searches myself it turned up on page 3 (I think) of "Operator blank".
Anyway the advice to search is just my sig anyway.
Hope it works.
no its cool I meant it when i said appreciate it.
there isnt anyway of mapping the alternate characters that you know of is there. I found 1 thread but they didnt know how to do it.. maining if you press and hold the M key down you get the ! instead.....
just figured I'd ask... its my last tweak till the phone is complete.
If you mean what I think, funny enough I saw it a few minutes ago on the Wizard wiki http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Wizard
wasnt exactly what I was looking for. the Dash rom allows you to press a key and hold it in then it displays the alternate character (i.e. of you press and hold the M key in you will get the ! character). from what I have read the s620 doesnt do this right out of the box. I have a dash but reflashed it with the HTC Rom, now I have lost that functionality. you would think this would be a reg hack........I guess I will keep looking. if anyone knows how to make this work I would love to know how...thanks!
bkeaver,
What's more irritating, the loss of the ability to hold down a key for the alternate or XT9?
I'd give up the hold a key function if XT9 was gone. Man I hate that...
-Mc
i didnt realize I didnt have the xt9 capability abymore. but I dont know how much that bothers me. Does the original rom for the s620 not have that capability either???
the s620 never had t9
Files posted a couple replies down
-------------------
I have looked around the forum and I have not really seen anyway to get the t-zones key back to pulling up t-zones after a flash...anyone know how? Or have the files to place in there? Or will I have to re-flash to t-mobile and extract them? I liked the ability to see my current usage from the handset, without having to log in to see it, and even then you dont get all the info. You only get your minutes....
Thank you in advance!
You can just go to www.mytmobile.com/pda and #646# for minutes, and there are a few other commands for bill and texts, etc.
The T-Zones wap browserhas to be installed all the non-branded roms won't have a branded software.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=313491&page=2
Scroll down and download the .cab for t-zones
I'm pretty sure it should work, installing it right now because I need it too lol
edit: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=304398&highlight=t-zones
i think that needs to be installed too, it's winwap
For anyone that cares... i have gotten it to work for me with three files...
drop the winwap.exe into \windows\
and drop t-zones.lnk into \windows\start menu\
and then make sure your data connection is set for wap.voicestream.com and not internet2.voicestream.com
(i creted a new connection for the internet2 and then i went into pim and set it to that connection)
now if you want you t-zones key to run to t-zones instead of celetask just drop short_ie.lnk into you windows folder otherwise you will have to go to your start menu.
i extracted these from the original t-mobile rom!
Hmm, why can't I change the LCD looking font? I changed it to Segoe Condensed but it's still stuck on the LCD font...bleh
Thank You SO Much for the Posts and Help!!!
Thank You SO Much for the Posts and Help Guys!!! I flashed my ROM right after I bought my phone and I just figured my T-Zones was lost (but worth the loss, ha ha ) so this is VERY helpful!! I can see my account again, yay!
ok I managed to copy those files to the phone, but when I run the app, it gives me a connection error: "While retrieving the wap t-zones com the following error occured HTTP error 408. request timeout.
When selecting options, the boxes are greyed-out and I cannot change the URL.
I'm running the 3VOLUTION [WM6.5 STD 21854][Build 3VO.3.00.112509] rom on the HTC dash.
please excuse the previous question.. the problem has solved itself. restarted the phone and things seem to suddenly work.
does anyone have the qwerty reg settings, now i no longer have that function all i have is regular keyboard or when qwerty is selected i have just numbers...thanks
Anyone???? I dont want to Hard reset my phone again
i had same problem today. soft reset no help. i went to opera and tried to type an address in and the keyboard came back. but after that it happened again. Possible problems: I used the HDtweek to get my word completion restored. I am also running SPB mobile shell. Trying to get a handle on it.
I have also seen this twice
I have also seen this twice.... had to restore from backup to fix.
Thanks,
Just typing in the address bar in Opera fixed the keyboard. Did this yesterday and I's still good. I'll post again if the keyboard disappears.
I used Mobile reg editor to get word completion back now I have all kinds of crazy keyboard problems. I am currently using Resco Keyboard but would still like the one that comes with the T-Mo TP2 if anyone has those Reg keys available...Tj
here is the tread in the tmobile forums for the keyboard settings. I used hdtweek to reset the setting according to this thread. It also has some reg settings you might want to look at. I hope it helps.

THANK YOU!!! Got it back to somewhat normal (no word completion )...Tj
No problem. And yes I like this keyboard also. I just discovered you can type numbers by just holding down the top row-no need to shift to the number keyboard. On my Tilt, I used Zoomboard. I loved that keyboard because you could slide left or right if you hit the wrong key. I might go back to that once I get the Touch Pro 2 down pat.
TrekkerJmm and Record1,
Both of you "fixed" the loss of the TouchPal Keyboard (the one where you hold the key till the number is highlighted) by undoing the word completion reg change. No way to have your cake and eat it to. I have lost this keyboard three times now (fixed with Sprite Backup Restore) and ended with that softkeyboard that has the p and w and the numbers only.
TIA,
Actually I have the touchpad keyboard and word completion. However, I still get the disappearing keyboard every once in a while. (I think it happens when I use internet explorer.) when this happens i simply open Opera and type anything in the address bar at the top and the keyboard magically reappears. It stays good for awhile. I think its internet explorer that breaks it, but im not sure. I use opera most of the time anyway. As I stated earlier, I used HDtweek and the known good instructions in the Tmobile forum the get word completion working again.
The disappearing keyboard is rare now so I'm living with it for now.
Okay so ive been browsing this site for a few days, each day spending hours trying to find the solution to my issue. and i havnt found it yet.
***I bought this phone off somebody, it wasnt mine originally. already came with WM 6.1 and alot of other stuff***
my problem isnt that i want T9 texting instead of the predictive type(like mostly all of the ones i find)
my problem is that my phone is stuck in some hybrid qwerty/standard cell text entry. the pads that are grey (Numbers) are stuck assuming i want to type useing them as a standard cell. ( multi-tap)
but what i want is for the button to be used as its QWERTY. all the solutions involve downloading some keymap. but i already have done that, and used all of the Tegic ET9 keymaps. none of them change the text enrty.
then i find that im supposed to hold ALT and press space, well my ALT button appears to not work. so then that doesnt help either. thers no way i can find to get full QWERTY texting, which makes it annoying that it even has a full keypad that i can only half use.
does anyone see my issue? can anyone help?
is there a way to go back to predictive type and maybe that will bring back QWERTY?
okay, so after EVEN more reading and researching, i see that i can either try a remap (which im pretty sure i have tried) or reseting back to original ROM.
which i dont want to do really, because i kind of like the 6.1 build.
a new question i have is, if i upgrade to the 6.5 i see on this site, will that fix my problem?
is my ALT key broke? i see the same problem happened to alot of people, but i dont think that we can all have ONE similar broken key, resulting in the exact same problem. seems kind of... odd?
so yeah. if anyone could help, that would be awesome...

Hmmm... I know that in the ROM threads there are multiple posts of keymap files. Try using one of those.... If that doesn't work, then definitely do a reflash. Realize that you CAN go to the original ROM, and then go back to whatever you want, going back to the original may clear up some issues (or tell you if it is the ROM that is causing the problem.) ANother alternative is HARD-RESET, which is like flashing a new ROM, but not exactly, it just clears the memory to "factory default" (or just the basic ROM files that were originally installed)
Good Luck
okay, so im thinking of just trying these steps, tell me if this should work.
1. hard reset
- keymap/ xt9 and see if that works
2. rom downgrade to original
-see if that works with maybe the xt9
3. after downgrade, upgrade to 6.5
-with all the many fixes this should work?
so im thinking this should work?
oh and im just going to give my older sister this phone, she doesnt use phones to the extent that i do. so if i go to 6.5 would it be user-friendly for her? i still need to fix this text entry problem tho.
and how long do you think this would take?
