WM6 Issues - Fixes?

Hello all.
Here are all of the known problems that I am having. with WM6 2.01.
(1) Icons on top (connection bubble) never change with the exception of ActiveSync. 3G icon constantly stays on even if connected through WiFi. Shutting phone off still shows Cingular bars as if connected. (Known issue)
(2) Soft button configuration changes do not stick. If I change the programs associated with them, it does nothing.
Also, today screen shows Calendar and ActiveSync as soft key programs, although programs are actually Calendar and Contacts. (Its all jacked up!)
(3) I cannot connect to the internet with my celluar service. It is as if there are no settings installed. The bottom of IE says "Connecting ... 0 KB." Then I get a message saying "Cannot connect with current connection settings. To change your settings, tap Settings."
I have tried turning on/off, soft reset, etc., but have had no luck
---I have searched the board for an answer to #3, and I have found many people who have similar problems (does not work after 30 min, soft reset will fix), but I do not remember seeing anyone whose settings have completely dropped.
Can anybody shed any light into any of these 3 problems? I really do not use Bluetooth, so I haven't tried anything with it yet. But all other problems I have had, I have been able to fix by myself.
Thanks,

Did you put your connection settings back in after you upgraded to WM6??

No, but I didnt save them.
My Wi-Fi is working fine, but I had to config those. On other updates I had done prior, my 3G connection was fine without having to setup settings.

If you have not already done this, you have to go under connections and set up your providers settings. To enter proper settings go to Start/Settings/Connections Add a new modem connection. Enter any name you want for the NAME ( example "Cingular ISP") and make sure that under "select a modem" tab, "Cellular Line (GPRS, 3G) is sellected. Click next access point name can be what ever you want to call the provider connection (Example "wap.cingular" or "isp.cingular"). And the rest I can not help you with untill we know who your provider is. I am sure if you let us know what provider you have, some one here can post the settings you need to have.
Hope this helps or at least gets you pointed in the right direction.

Awesome. Thanks for the help.
I am to the point where I need to enter user name, password, and domain. I wonder if I am going to need to call Cingular to find out some of that info (password).
Can anybody help me out with those settings?
Thanks,

but, if you had used the "SEARCH" button you would already have found this...

Go to https://www.cingular.com/support/deviceConfig.do?content=KB71396.html for the settings.

Now I have a quick question that I need to have cleared up. When I connect onlince with my CIngular 8525 it always connects via GPRS/EDGE and not 3G. I do not see a 3G icon come up. Is this becasue there is no coverage at my home? Or did I mess up something?
I am using:
LVSW WM6 RUU_Hermes_WWE_3.30.0.1 [FIXED]
Hard SPLv7
I used the cingular setting cab found from the WIKI
I am using radio 1.40.30.00
Band setting under phone are set to auto

Odd connection issue

It started yesterday and I don't know why. Go to check my weather, hit update and after about 10 seconds I get a bubble telling me that an unknown connection error ocurred and to try again later. I can make phone calls, send and receive texts, but can't check my weather. If I soft reset it works fine. Today, go to check my weather again and same problem. Been making phone calls and texting all morning without issue. Soft reset and again it works fine. Obviously, something is going wrong with my data connection over time, but what could cause it to just shut down completely requiring a soft reset to fix?

More weirdness. I tried manually turning on my data connection in the Connection Manager and as quickly as I turn it on it turns itself off. WTF! I haven't done/added anything to the phone in a week. Is this something on AT$T's end, could they be blocking me from using data for some reason?
About 2 weeks ago I did some regedit to have the data connection turn off automatically after 5 mins of non-use. It was working fine after that and anytime it needed a data connection it would make it. I don't remember where the setting was to change it back, but I doubt this is the problem because this issue just started yesterday.

I'm on AT&T also, on the new leaked ROM, and I have exactly the same issue. It started about 2-3 weeks ago, and I noticed the connection drops overnight (during the day I have no problems), and it'll only come back after restart or reset. I think it's AT&T's network...

Maybe they work on improving their towers and network lol

T-Mobile does that also.
i get a Could not coonect bubble,and have to manualy enable my data conection.If you guys are Tethering our providers automaticly drop our priority level...Unlimited my ass,they tried to cap me at Edge speed and all i had to do was disable/enable the data conection to blast 3g...

I found the problem, but I still don't know what caused it. I'm leaning towards something done on AT$T's end. I have always had my phone configured to use the AT$T ISP in network properties. Apparently, it no longer likes this setting. Switched back to MediaNet and all is working just fine. Problem is that when I first got the phone I did speed tests using both settings and AT$T ISP was faster, so that's why I set it that way. I can't test it now because it won't stay connected with that setting. Can AT$T block users from a particular connection? I don't tether and the most data I've ever used was 280mb last month. Hardly a reason to block me.

I'm not thethering either, my usage is roughly 600 MB/mo and my network is already set to MediaNet. This problem started recently, didn't have it before.

Looks like it is something going on with AT$T. A number of my friends from different states have reported issues over the past 2 weeks with several having severe connection issues the past few days. These are people on varying devices including iPhones, Blackberrys and smartphones. I hope it is due to AT$T finally upgrading their network and not overload from all the new iPhone users and abusive tetherers.

[Q] Unable to use wifi while on a call

Title says it all. When I'm talking on the phone I'm unable to use wifi data. Browsing, apps which require data, maps, nothing workings while on a call.
I am running CM6 stable but this issue has been around for a while that I can remember.
Is there a work around? Could I be doing something wrong?
Thanks

Someone correct me if i'm wrong, but as far as i'm aware you can't use data and calls at the same time unless if your using 4g, which of course MC6 doesn't yet support.

You cannot use 3g data while on a call but I cannot see why you cannot use WIFI while on a call. I will test this on Stock Rooted and let you know in a few minutes.

It must be and issue with CM6 as I am able to make a call and surf the web, access the market, etc.. using WIFI at the same time with stock rooted..

Thanks for the confirmation. I've wondered this as well but I haven't noticed any other CM6 user complain about this issue. Maybe there's something in the settings I need to enable?

Its not cm6 or whatever I am having the same issue. No email or surfing while on the phone and simultaneously connected to wifi. Like the first post "title says it all". I am on Stock sprint rom. Just updated to the 3.70, but this problem has been going on noticably for a week prior maybe longer. I was hoping the update would fix it. Any thoughts? or answer?

You can use wifi whiles on a call to browse internet and use apps that require data. I been doing so since I first got a evo months ago. I only used it on one asop rom and that's cm 6.0 rc2 it worked fine when my gf was annoying me with her boring convo lol so i put on the bluetooth headphones and acted like i was paying attention whiles i was one facebook.

When is the last time you tried? I have been trying to use it on a calls all day, with no luck. Only time Wifi connects is when I hang up.
Scenario a: Wifi is turned off; I initiate call; try to turn on Wifi; Wifi will not connect .
Scenario b: Wifi is on; I initiate call; Wifi will not allow surfing until the phone is hung up.
Also when running speed test while on phone will produce very low speeds less than 64k when my speed should be around 12mbps. Again once phone is hung up the speeds return to normal. The speeds resemble a connection that is being throttled.

Are you connected to a Bluetooth headset while in a call?

Just noticed the blue tooth issue. Thanks for the response, but what gives. Surfing used to work while on bluetooth/phone call. For a while that was my only way to listen to music through my BT headset. I had to initiate a call to voicemail and play Iheart.

Heh, it's hit and miss for me.
What i've discovered is......
-If WiFi and the Bluetooth device are connected before initiating the call, it should work fine.
-Sometimes, the Bluetooth device can be connected later, as long as WiFi is connected to a network before call is initiated.
-You can disconnect the Bluetooth device during a call, turn on speaker [or not] to continue the call, and WiFi will connect, but will probably disconnect when you reconnect the Bluetooth device.
-Using method above, you can sustain WiFi connectivity whilst Bluetooth device is connected if you start to browse a website or launch a data required app such as an IM or online radio app, then while it's in the middle of connecting to one of those, reconnect the Bluetooth device.
Lot of trouble? Hell yes. I'm not sure if this is a problem with HTC's software or a hardware problem with having WiFi/Bluetooth on the same chip.

I was about to post this question up on the Hero forum but I found this thread. I have the same problem. Wifi will connect unless on a call but......sometimes if you are already connected before initiating call wifi will stay on FOR A BIT. After a while, wifi will disconnect on its own and if you are lucky it will reconnect later on. Note this is not alway the case. It ussually stays off. I just dont understand why this happens.

[Q] [SOLVED] Intermittent Mobile Connectivity

This is a repost of a post made in the wrong forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=41965120#post41965120
---
Hi all
A search of the forums revealed 5 potential threads similar to this but not quite (not same symptom, phone, modem ...)
Keep loosing mobile data connection...
I have installed X-note 3 and found that my mobile internet is intermittent particularly in Youtube where I frequently have to click "No connection , Retry" or "Connection to Server lost, Retry" and in Play Store and Gmail where the problem tends to occur on a screen unlock after it has been unused for a few minutes - about 3 to 5 mins.
I dont believe this is a ROM issue because I d/l various ROMS such as Revolution, Alliance, PacMan, Paranoid and still I get the problem.
I tried installing all 9 of these radios here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2044937 to no avail.
Also notice that if I set Network Mode to "GSM only" then this makes no difference to the problem (the default is "GSM/WCDMA Auto" which is what I've set it back to)
WiFi works fine.
Any ideas?

same issue here.
a lot of time trying to know why this happen. and i think it is due to fast dormancy.
the phone usually stays in standby in 3g... when you request some data it will automatically turn h or h+. Here is when you will notice the internet moving.
But unfortunately if you have some.coverage issues you can have this problem and then the programs instantly report no conection. If you insist you will see you can obtain connection. 5 seconds later 3g will appear again
It does not mind you will see the bars of coverage at maximum... if there is no quality signal you will have this problem.
I just have this problem at work. Not in other places.
But if you want a constant connection I recommend to keep for example online music while navigating...this will avoid the issue...unfortunately you will increase your data plan..

Yes!! This is exactly what happens.
So it can't be my specific phone but perhaps a hardware design or software issue. I don't recall this I happening before I rooted
Weird

Fixed it - so far at least
Fast Dormancy is the problem. It was enabled by default and I have turned this off. The connection is now fine and seems to be "always on". For me this is okay because I do not have any data limits or pay per MB for data. I do notice that new connections take a little longer to start (for example, time taken to access internet when opening up an app that is not currently running) . This is not noticeable for apps already running (in the background)
This explains ....

HTC10 wireless issues

Hi folks,
Had a search in here and the rest if the internet (maybe not all of it...) but struggling to find anything to match my problem.
It rears its head in a couple of ways. First off, I'm getting a lot of what appear to be DNS issues on 4G data (DNS server address cannot be found). Sometimes toggling data or airplane mode will fix it. Works fine on Wi-Fi, but could be when it's first switched from Wi-Fi to mobile data.
Second one... Cell connection and GPS connections will drop (line through signal strength bars, sat Nav app showing no GPS) but will reconnect after half a minute or so.
Can't tell if the two issues are related as they both appear to be quite random. Any help would be greatly appreciated and stop me littering the street with a phone being thrown out of the window.
More info: I can search from the search bar and get results, but clicking on a link and opening the browser or chrome results in the DNS errors. Also, can't pin it down to chrome, as similar things happen in Relay (Reddit browser).

I'm having the same problem, were you able to resolve it? Not sure if its a problem with the phone or network but know someone else who's having the same thing (EE UK network).

I was having the issue last week on EE UK. It seemed to be dependent on area too. Its resolved now for me
