P3300 does not wake-up (loosing the calls and sms) and Networking message

Hi guys, last couple of days I encounter the following problems:
1. P3300 goes to stand-by during the night time and does not wake -up by incoming calls or incoming sms on the morning. Sometimes it also happens if the phone stays untouchable during few hours on a day time. The people on another side who are trying to call or sms me get the reply that I'm not reachable. Just switching on the black light does not help even so that the network coverage indicated as 100%. Only when I start to call someone or try to send sms, the storm of the delayed SMSes suddenly comes to my screen and then the people can reach me back by phone.
2. The pop-up message comes to the screen few times per day:
"Pocket PC networking: Unable to obtain a server-assigned IP address. Try again later or enter an IP address in Network settings."
Well this message starts to come very recently and I did not change any network settings before.
I do not know if these two problems comes together, but they are start to rear the heads more or less at the same time.
From the long-time installed programs I have :
TomTom
Fizz Traveller
Resco Keyboard PRO
Opera
Skype
CorePlayer
Vimio LiveTV
The recently installed programs (let's say last two weeks time frame):
Softick Card Export II
BatteryStatus (overclocked with CPU Scaler : min 143- max 260 boost)
So, guys, your suggestions what it could be are very appreciated.
If interested I have Test WWE HTC ROM 1.12.405.1_026790

During an Activesync connection in which I was transferring some files from the PC to the P3300, the power suddenly went down.
I don't know if this had anything to do with it, but after that I started to get that same message you refer to in problem 2 and I was unable to access the internet while connected via USB to the PC.
Anyway, I googled around and found this:
(http://blog.offbeatmammal.com/blogs...-an-IP-address-in-Network-settings_2E00_.aspx)
Solution #1 - via the GUI
In Settings | Connections go to Configure Network adapters.
Set the 'Remote-NDIS Host' settings to use a specific IP address of 169.254.2.1, subnet 255.255.0.0, and a default gateway of 169.254.2.2
Solution #2 - via Editing the Registry
Fire up your registry editor then head to:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\RNDISFN1\Parms\TcpIp]
Set AutoCfg to 1
Set EnableDHCP to 0
Soft reset the device to activate the change
I've tried solution 1 and it works (so far, at least).
Regards,

cfvilela,
I appreciate very much that you redirected me to that blog.
Fixed the issue with Network message with the help of option 2.
Well, we will see where it leads me.
Anyone has the idea about my first issue?

Last evening I changed the reg values as described in order to eliminate this annoying message.
Well, this morning the Network message was popping-up again.
So , the solution number 2 does not work for me.
cfvilela,
to use the solution number 1, where did you find "Configure Network adapters" in Settings/Connections menu ?
Actually it was the reason why I choosed yesterday the second way, could you advice?

- Click the 'Start' icon on the today screen top bar, then select 'Settings' and inside it, choose the 'Connections' tab.
- Then, choose the 'Wi-Fi' icon and inside it, the 'Network Adapters' tab.
- Once there, choose the 'Remote-NDIS Host' and it will open another window.
- On that new window choose 'Use specific IP adress' and use the following settings:
*IP Adress: 169.254.2.1
*Subnet mask:255.255.0.0
*Default gateway: 169.254.2.2
*Don't change anything in the 'Name Servers' tab.
-Click OK and hopefully it should work.
Good luck.
It still works on my P3300. I use two different PCs, one at home and another at my working place to synchonize and it works with both of them.
regards,

cfvilela,
obrigado
I discovered Networks adapters in Wi-Fi, but since it was not mentioned in original blog, I was thinking that I overlooked something.
Great. Thanks again.

Same here
I have the same problems here.
The network error doesnot bother me much but not receiving calls is anoying.
After all, it is one of its main functions!
I tried the following with No succes:
1. T-mobile gave me a new sim-card. didn´t help.
2. Technical service of T-mobile did some kind of network reset thing. (He didnot want to explain any further.... I suspect he just rebooted something and hoped it would help) Didnot work.
3. Hard reset of device Didn´t work.
So, If anyone has a solution, you´ll help at least two people!
(are there more with the same problem?)

Pfeffa-rah

Still NoGo
I still have no solution.
Anyone else have the same problem? or is it just the two of us?
T-Mobile is verry unhelpfull. They prommise to return my calls but then only send an sms that I should call back, or that they are workin on it or that they couldn´t reach me (duh)....
They want me to turn in the device but I don´t want to miss it for the two weeks it will take them and only get it back with the memo "works fine". So I realy want to speak to a technician so I can explain him what the problem is.
The customer services ladys are verry polite and nice, but they really don´t know anything about technical issues.
So I am still stuck here.

WM6 Word Suggestion Fix

Hi,
I see that currently leaked WM6 versions have problem with word suggestion checkbox in Start / Settings. You have to uncheck word suggestion on every soft reset. WM6 forget this setting.
This little fix should cure this
Install:
Copy wsuggfix.cab to Universal and uncheck word suggestion.
Try soft reset. Windows should remember your setting.
How does it work?
-------------------
The fix consists of two files:
wsgfix.dll
sippoll.exe
wsgfix.dll is a service dll. After installing cab wsgfix.dll creates a hidden window, and requests notifications about
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sip, SuggWords value changes.
When Suggwords changes wsgfix copy this value to its own registry key.
sippoll.exe is only started on system startup. sippoll reads Suggwords and disables word suggestion if disabled and copy Suggwords back to
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sip, SuggWords. That's all. sippoll doesn't occupy precious program memory

SuggWords fix...
I have discovered another way to fix this and even chang it to the number of words you want -of course reasonable.
\HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\CompIME
...change the "SuggWords" DWORD to the value tht reflects number of words suggested. I use 8, quite okay though.
I thought the same about SIP string but it is very stubborn!

Thanks, it's good to know that.
But If I use this method, I have to edit registry after modifying settings in Control Panel. Or I have to completly leave Control Panel's Word completion tab, and only change registry. And Control Panel applet's tab become unused.
I know it's not a big thing, but I don't like this

thank you for this fix. Works great!

have any of you noticed this stops working out of the blue sometimes? i have to go into the keyboard options and check the use suggestion then uncheck it

Yes, the same here.
The fix worked fine for the first couple of days, after that it suddenly stopped working. When I check the suggesting words box (so enabled!) the suggesting words stops again.
When I then uncheck it again, it stays disabled after a soft reset, but it will start suggesting some time later again.....
I'd sure like to see some sort of true 'final' of Windows Mobile 6.0 for the Universal, only containing three fixes:
1. No more word suggesting trouble - disabling means disabling, enabling means enabling.
2. Windows Live Messenger uses only Wi-Fi when connected to a Wi-Fi network and only uses GPRS/3G when not connected to Wi-Fi network.
3. Ofcourse: full 3G video call support.

Word suggestion
Hi,
Don't know but do you use tools like SK Tools or PocketMechanic?
Sometimes they clean the registry to deep.

hi i'm new here. i have tried your solution with no luck. please help me!

Thanks for the registry keys!! I added them to the wizard wiki, someone else can change it around I guess...
Does anyone know how to stop WM6 from auto-capping the first letter in a new sentence automatically? I just don't want it to do this anymore, and the Settings > Input checkbox isn't helping... so where in the registry is it?
Please no more CAB files, I like to know where in the registry it is for knowledge reasons

Fix with MortScript
There are another solution (simply - maybe stoopid) to fix this Word Suggestion bug - with MortScript.
When you have MortScript installed simply create text file named SuggWords_Off.mscr with this code:
Code:
RegWriteDWord( "HKCU", "ControlPanel\Sip", "SuggWords", "0" )
and put this file into \Windows\StartUp .

Just how does QuickGPS work

Hello and thanks in advance for any answers to my questions on QuickGPS.
I have an XDA-Orbit and am running it on Vodafone, not O2. I am also running TomTom 6.x. I find that my GPS acquisition times are not as good as people are reporting. Best case it takes about a minute or so... and worst case, longer than 15 min.
I keep my quickgps files up to date, but just what are in these files? I gather that it gets my approximate location based on which cell tower I am connected to, and then gets satellite positioning info. However, do all cell towers broadcast their location, etc. For example, is using QuickGPS with a vodafone SIM useless because it is looking for an O2 cell tower?
Also, does tomtom make use of quickgps? In my tomtom settings, the option to use quickgpsfix is greyed out. Should I be using quickgpsfix instead of quickgps, or is it basically the same thing.
Thanks again!

Have a look in your windows folder and check out the file size of 'packedephemeris.ee' it should be around 50k. If it's not then as I understand it it's not updating properly. I have a mda compact iii and the default settings give me a file size of about 8k, if I use this TomTom takes about 4-5 mins to get a fix.
After following the instructions in the 'update quickGPS manually' thread and replacing the file I'm getting a fix in about 20 seconds.
However the registry fix doesn't seem to be working at the moment but you can do it manually.

Thanks for the response. I just checked the size of the file in windows and it was 47.7k, updated yesterday. One thing that may be causing this is that I travel quite a lot and often times the last known position of the gps is totally different than where I am when I start up the app. Maybe this is causing the problem.

Just use this file for update. Download it and copy it to your windows folder.
http://service.mio-tech.com/eeservice/packedephemeris.ee

Thanks for the response. How often should I update this file? Daily?

If you update it manually it updates the 'download' and 'valid time' in the quickGPS app so if you have the 'remind me when data expires' I'm guessing it should let you know when you next need to do it.

A slightly better solution :
Replace the following ip's in the register:
Use resco reg edit or any other register editor.
HKLM\SOFTWARE\HTC\QuickGPS\0\0\IP -> htctsvr.htc.com.tw
HKLM\SOFTWARE\HTC\QuickGPS\0\1\IP -> htctsvr.htc.com.tw
HKLM\SOFTWARE\HTC\QuickGPS\1\0\IP -> htctsvr.htc.com.tw
HKLM\SOFTWARE\HTC\QuickGPS\2\0\IP -> htctsvr.htc.com.tw
HKLM\SOFTWARE\HTC\QuickGPS\2\1\IP -> htctsvr.htc.com.tw
Here you go. now just use quickGPS to download the location file.

Just for reference, I did manage to download the file, and replace the existing one. The GPS signal picked up within 15 seconds! This is a huge difference from before.
One thing though... if I update through the quickgps program, my file is indeed about 50k in size, but obviously does not do much or does not contain valid data.
I wonder if the data provided is carrier specific.. Ie, an XDA gets data that will not work on a different carrier than O2.

I tried them this morning and all I was downloading was an htc html login page (3.4k) called packedEphemeris.ee
BUT.... just tried again and it's worked a treat, maybe they were in the process of switching things over lets hope they keep things as they are for a while.
Bonkey how did you know what to use as the settings?
Thanks to all for your help.

The ip servers i posted should work. the have been working for over a week now for me. The thing is, if you adjust the ip adresses in the register you have to do a soft reset to make sure the register keeps the setting. if you check your register now you'll see that the default values are back.
How i got them? easy, google on the file P...ee and look for url's with this structure : http://SITENAME/clm/p..ee

Done the check and truely the reg settings did not stick. Corrected and the settings work great after soft-reset

Thanks for this fix. I've now got a 47k packedephemeris file, so that's better than it was. But should I have a QuickGPS option in TomTom? I'm on 6.020 but I can't see any such option...

thanks for this, worked a treat, I was having the sat fix time issues and looking at the packed ephomeris file it was only 3.7k,
I thought the reason that it was taking so long is that I always update it at home but I never turn it one when I depart, most time at a completley different location.

Hi all
First post here.
I know I am resurrecting an old thread... I found it while googling for a fix for my inoperative quickGPS on my MDA Compact III.
This has failed to connect for some weeks now and it definitely affects lock-on speeds.
Red Baron's solution above works for me - i.e. download the file and manually put it in the Windows folder on the device - but it is a bit of a chore.
So I then tried Bonkey's solution and edited the IP addresses as shown - but this doesn't work sadly.
Should I be putting a www in front of the addresses listed?
Or has there been some change to the addresses?
It's a bit of a crappy piece of software, very difficult to find out if any updates or changes are required.
I'm very glad of RedBaron's solution, it is so far the only one on the net that I can find that works!
Thanks for any advice you can give.
Simon

Why does my time zone keep changing?

When I reboot my phone it goes to mountain time. I live in Pacific time but it keeps defaulting? Any ideas?

Mine too. It changes to Moscow althouth I select +2GMT. This happens only with Schaps ROM. I tried official, VP3G and it was ok.

Mine has been changing to -6 from -7 on it's own the last few days too.
My only solution was to disable the get time and date from the provider option.
Haven't had a problem since.
I am assuming they have a tower pushing out the wrong timezone or something.

Start, Settings, Phone.
Then make your way over to the Time Zones tab and un-check the box.

Some users might report this tab doesn't exist. If it doesn't, a reg edit is needed to enable it.

Timezone and time update
In the branch HKLM\Software\OEM\PhoneSetting Change the value of the Key "ShowTimeZonesPage" to value of 1 (dword). Close your registry editor (no reset required) and tap START-SETTINGS-PHONE, there should be a new tab where you can automatically set the phone to get time and timezone information from the network. Really useful for me as I do extensive travelling. Tested on WM5

Even after disabling this, mine still changes

Mine is a slightly unusual issue but is related to the timezone issue.
I live in Sydney, Australia (GMT +10) and my phone keeps reverting BACK to Vladivostok (GMT +10) which you may say is 'so what...they are the same time zones' but the issue is daylight savings which makes Sydney effectively +11 and when the phone reverts to my mate Vlad...the times are out by an hour.
As this is my diary 'brain' its beginning to become quite an issue.
Also using Schaps 4.20 ROM in a Dopod 838Pro.
Otherwise great ROM
Cheers Spocky

sync time isues?
This is because the time zone between your computer & pda are different.

Daylight Saving problem

Hello,
I've got a bit of a problem here. Few weeks ago we changed time because of the Daylight Saving, my mobile didn't do it automatically because every time I restart it changes the timezone to (GMT+2) Windhoek, and not the Sofia timezone (it seems they don't change time there. I've fixed that, but the problem is that, with the time change, the device changed the time of my appointments. When I edit them, it still says 9:30, but it sets the appointment for 10:30. Any suggestion how to repair that? I'm using Schap's 4.30 ROM, and I'll update to 4.31 now (I've done it some time ago, but had problems, that's why I dongraded to 4.30).

I've had similar problem.
Key issue was the Automatic Time Zone change on mobile phone settings, because it seems that not all mobile provider use a good setting. So I unchecked it, and change it myself.
Moreover, in fact you have TWO parameters; first one is your timze zone and second one is the time by itself.
As soon as you will upgrade to the very good Schap's 4.31, first adjust your TimeZone and then you time and when you will synchronise with Outlook erything will be OK.
Regards

Yep, I've done some experimenting and done that, it works now, thanks.

Yes, even though its a real PIA, I always turn off Auto Time Zone from my provider and manually set it. I even manually change to a different time zone and back if it originally got it's info from the carrier before I setup my ActiveSync.
I posted this a while back regarding this.

So, where do I find the setting to disable my Imate JASJAM to get time zone info from my carrier?
