Damn GPRS sometimes works and sometimes doesn't!!!!!!!

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.
Fatzzz

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?
Cheers.
Robin

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?

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.

(Cingular) Black 2.0.1 - Activesync Explore problem

Hi all,
I have upgraded my Hermes (8525) to the Black 2.0.1 Cingular version. nice rom by the way. Since upgrading, when I "Explore" my device using activesync it brings up c:\ not the device. This is the first time I am trying to get info from/to the device since upgrading. I have rebooted my PC and softreset my PPC and ensured that the firewall was off and still no dice.
Anyone seen this before? a quick search didn't turn up much (in english);

gtmaniak said:
Goto: START > SETTINGS > CONNECTIONS > USB to PC
Turn off the advanced network functionality
Should sync fine after that.

Give that a try? Never seen that happen before.

Nope. Didn't work. Activesync works OK. I can sync all the information I want. i thought maybe it had to do with "Allowing Wireless Connections" while connected to the computer, I disabled that and still no change.
Custel, your cingular additions to the Black rom Rock. Do you plan on customizing the Black 2.5 rom once released?

Stupid stupid activesync. I had to redownload and reinstall activesync to get it working again... All set now.

Auto disconnect GPRS/WiFi when not in use?

Hi!
Is there something that could auto disconnect GPRS/WiFi, lets say after 10 min, if it wasn't used?
I wanted setup to check for new mail every 2 hours, and it connects to GPRS and then it stays connected forever, draining the battery without purpose...
Thank you.

I found one for WM5, and not sure if it will work for WM6...

Yeah, or something that the connection isnt reconnecting after i said DISCONNECT :/

Check this great little app, it syncs your Outlook accounts when you want and disconnects the data after...

Yes, this is the first and I must add the most annoying thing that I've experienced in WM6 (never had this in WM5), especially when you don't have unlimited data plan - that reconnection is just ridiculous.
It actually made me go back to WM5 for a while, until I decided give WM6 another chance. Hopefully I was able pinpoint what make it connect all the time - Windows Live service, specifically Windows Live Messenger. Basically you have to manually logout from the messenger before you close it, otherwise it will just minimize itself when you thought you closed it.
Or just don't use it...
@Sane:
Thanks for the link. Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately) I don't use Outlook and that app is pretty much useless for me, but sure it might be useful for others.
Speaking of Outlook, is there another good alternative to it which we could use to manage contacts? (not necessarily use it to sync with WM6 contacts directly, but perhaps be able export them to another format that later could be imported in WM6)
I've tryed NSContacts which is pretty good, if you can remmember all the time how to avoid some very nasty bugs in it that could make your 1 hour organizing contact be waste of time and you have to start over.

the best options
bandswitch or commgrpro by dan herrerra.
commmgrpro.com
these are both excellent.

this program is not working on my HTC P3600 with WM6.1...
have someone encountered the same problem?

try reading this : http://www.1800pocketpc.com/2008/03/19/auto-disconnect-gprs-on-ppc.html

Very very simple question. ANSWER???

I've been using two PRophets and my last adquisition was a Trinity (Qtek S300) - HTC 3600.
The magic question is:
Is there any WM6 ROM (including originals...) that let me USE EMAILS, AND USER PASSWORD without loosing it after a soft reset?
How can everybody uses WM6 with these GREAT bugs?
I don't understand....
Thank you early.

Disappearing wifi and email accounts is a wm6 issue there's some thread about it,just use the search feature.

Thank you, i use to use search as much as you can imagine. No clear response to this problem anywhere. Give me an example.
Examples: Wm6 issue (just take a look.. Nothin related directly. so much ****)
WM6 Bugs--> Nothing.
Maybe i don't know how to search...
So, finally (for future people who use SEARCH...):
Is this a bug, and there is no solution. We have to **** up with it, dont we?

Nothin related directly. so much ****???
Come on give me a break.
Let's see if this helps you:

[!] For prevent password and account dissapearing u should (you should make this procedure immidiatly after first soft reset ):
1. Set up your connection settings
2. Open IExplorer / Set up Ineternet connection / Open some internet page
3. Click Disconnect button to close internet connection
4. Hold power button and turn off your phone
5. Power on your phone.
After that procedure your password wont dissapear. I think that you should repeat the same for mail account (set up mail account / try to send or recieve your mail / hold disconnect button / turn off your phone)
Thanks to mun_rus

Yes. trought your first search link i founded that.
I'm gonna flash just now and try it. It'll impress me. After so many months... a solution
Sorry dude i'm bad tempered.
Thank you.

Ok. Done those steps: Doesn't work.
After first soft reset (With stylus) everything ****s up again.
Nothing solved. You 're lying me

Sorry man.
It works for me......I can't help you though

Dont know with CIDs devices, on my Triny that never hapens to me, I m using now Mary 3.6 and is working fine...

I personally never encountered any problem with disappearing stuff after poking the reset hole on my non-SuperCID Trinity - but then it's actually quite seldom for me to poke that hole anyway since the cooks here produce quality roms. When I need reset, I usually did it the soft way.

THE solution !

My solution:
1. Always use power off->on reset
2. NEVER use hardware reset (stylus reset or remove battery)
3. If some installation program asks you to reboot, ALWAYS say NO, and power off->on yourself
4. If your Trinity halts for some reason (maybe ATI video chip bug), and the power off button does not work, just bind the Button 1 (Hold) to <Soft-Reset>. It always WORKS!
And you settings are there after.
I just used to live with this bug.
Maybe gurus can help with this issue, maybe not, maybe it's hardware malfunction, and it's time to change HTC to some other brand

Sms(sound) & My location problemens

First of all I would apologies for my English if it's bad, and second I would apologies to if my description is not very clear I am trying to do my best on it but this is the first time I have done something like this.
Sms messages coming to late or not receiving at all.
Some of my messages are coming to late or not even coming at all, I got this problem since the march ROM update for Europe west, I have already gone to the provider store and they just sad the most simple, quick, and cheapest answer: It's your device....
The sms alert sometimes ONLY goes off when I get my mobile off the stand-bye. This is also very annoying since I don't watch ever 5 minutes on my mobile.
My location is not working anymore since 2-3 days ago.
I live in a small city which is not listed in the cities of the weather program. Cities like Amsterdam and Rotterdam are working but my location is not anymore.
My device information: Standard touch pro 2, using Windows Mobile 6.5 newest updates from the HTC website Europese West, Netherlands.
Thank you!

I think the problem is that you're phone memory was not really 'clean' when you updated you're rom. What you need to do is whipe you're memory clean with task 29. And then try flashing you're rom again.
Did you install hard spl? Based on you're story I don't think you have. What I would do is install hard spl and then run task 29. Then put you're rom back on you're device and try if you're problems still occurs.

Hmmm...
I kinda have the same problem!
Since a couple of days the weather tab in TF3D which I've set to automatically update doesn't work anymore....
The strange thing is that it doesn't work for "My Location". When adding another city manually and I press "Update now" it works just fine!
"My Location" does also work when I connect my TP2 (WinMo 6.5) to my pc and press the "Update now" button....
Strange right? I've tried a lot of setting but no luck...
Even stranger: While updating the weather doesn't work for My Location (which is Eindhoven; some what a big city...) there's no problem with my connection or GPS as both of them works perfectly....
What's wrong? Can someone please advice why this stopped working suddenly!?
Info on my TP2:
Provider: KPN
WinMo: 6.5 Standard ROM....
Push Internet: Disabled

Same problem her, i instaled Co0kie.HomeTab_v1.7.1 and he has update my location for 1 time, and now same problem again.
I would try tomorow for a time.
But without Co0kie.HomeTab_v1.7.1 was the same problem.
soft reset, doesnt work, Hard reset i don;t know of that works.
Location: Netherlands
Rom: latest original rom from HTC
Sorry for the bad english!

Help, The netherlands are disappearing!
Anyway, same problem here! (HI Netherlands, Leeuwarden, nomore 'My Location)

I think I have the solution. I suddenly experienced the same problem. Go to start >> Settings >> Connections >>Connections >> Tasks >> Manage existing connections >> press edit >> next...
And then at the acces point name you will see something like portalmmm.nl. you need to change this to:
Internet
Save and you are done I think KPN made a little mistake. The weather will update again

Lenzy, the memory was clean, in the first month it didn't had any problems but now it's getting slower, and more harder to find solutions.
I now don't even receive about 1 on the 3 sms messages which is just annoying for the other person and me.
The weather update problem is still remaining.
But thanks for all the reply's
Edit: Also another question. What's 3G and can I disable it ? Everybody is saying that it is useless and sucking up your battery life.

You said that you upgrated you're software right? Then you're phone memory was not clean.
In my opnion the stock version really sucks Learn to flash and flash a decent rom on you're phone. The rom in my signature is the best one out there (in my opnion of course ) That will resolve all of you're bugs. Make sure you run task29 before flashing.
3G is you're internet connection. Just like hspda etc. You can disable it if you don't have a data plan.

You mean with the memory things like pictures, and music? That's all on my SD card.
When I just wake up the weather application started to work again I think because of the tactic you sad, Thank you!
And what do you mean by 'learn to flash ?' Sorry that I am a bit noobish xD
I already emailed HTC costumer service in Dutch and English 2 days ago, still no answer.
