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.

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?

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

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.

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..?

Pocket IE problem with Wifi (WM6)

I upgraded my ROM to the official Cingular WM6 (got it here). I have a problem with pocket IE on any connection other than GPRS/EDGE/3G.
I cannot browse anything with Pocket IE over wifi/active sync. I tried doing other stuff like checking my email and that works so I know its not the wifi settings on my PC. I also tried to connect my PSP and my NDS and both worked so its not some port problem.
Has anyone encountered this and does anyone know of a solution?

I have a problem with PIE not displaying graphics in full resolution. They are all down sized. view -> desktop no longer shows them at full size.
I'm using vp3gs wm6, with IE cache to card.
Any hints on how to restore graphics to their full size? I'm trying to view my network traffic graphs, and when they are downsized, they become useless. I was running Custel's 1.3 for months without issue.
Thanks!

I found the fix on the WIKI. It had to do with the had coded proxy that they put on the ROM. Deleting 1 key fixed it. If you encounter the same, look under Hermes_Problems of the WIKI.

i am having this same exact problem...off to the wiki!
edit: awesome, seems to be working well so far, thanks for the heads up!
and here is the fix if you don't feel like searching ( and who does? ) and woo 100th post!
Turn off hard coded proxy into IE
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Internet Settings] The default setting (that uses the proxy) is:
"EnableAutoDetect"=dword:00000000 Change it to:
"EnableAutoDetect"=dword:00000001 Or simply delete it. It's more of the fact that if it's there and =0 it's used. if it's missing it's not used. But changing it to =1 will also make it disable. This way you can simply change the value back without re-adding the seting back in.
For some reason, the registry entry above will occasionally revert from =1 to =0, causing IE's proxy to be active again. Deleting the registry entry prevents this from happening.

Or...............
y'all could just use the Enable/Restore Proxy icons already provided in the ROM (Programs | Proxy Manager). Guess which registry key they flip...

I gave this a shot cause I realized I had the same issue. It didn't work for me. I don't know how to edit the registry yet. Could you point in the direction to do that. The first time I did it it worked without problems. I did a hard reset and after that it didn't work any more. Any tips.

Well, if you do a hard reset it's going to re-enable the proxy by default. I've never seen the Proxy Manager not work, let's put it that way. That said, if you go installing other settings cabs, etc... all bets are off (at least with my ROM, they are...).

Salute to you all!
Salute to you all.
I had this problem long times ago.
It's solved now.
Thanks.

Disabling Proxy worked for Pocket IE, but...
I'm having trouble trying to get Windows Live to work off WiFi rather than connect via GPRS/UMTS. Has anyone else run into this problem and if so, is there any way to fix it?
Thanks in advance.

I re-disabled the proxy. I guess it may be because I am at work right now and the wireless is crapy. I can't get anything other than a local connection on my PC. So I'll let you know later

The only way i have found to do this is to go to CommManager and turn off "Phone" and enable WiFi and then sign into Windows Live, and then go back to CommManager and Enable Phone again! it forces it to connect to wifi rather than the choice between wifi and gprs stuff
hope that helps

Roaming Icon in Sham and Schap's ROMs

I posted about this briefly in Sham's 2.00 thread about how I am getting a roaming icon when I use either of these roms. Is this 'normal' behavior? I have been using vp3g's build for sometime now, but was eager to try a Sham's lite rom and was quite pleased with how peppy it was. And yes, I did try both Schap and Sham's connection wizards and that didn't seem to resolve the issues.
I tried searching on the topic, but all I got were hacks to hide the icon and not anything on what causes it, or long term impacts of "roaming."
I worry that something is wrong when I see a roaming icon when I am in my network and don't seem to automagically switch to 3G when I initiated a call in an EDGE section. Additionally, I'll never know when I am actually roaming.
Any feedback, suggestions, etc... would be greatly appreciated for a n00b such as myself. For now I have gone back to vp3g's rom, but would love to use something newer.
Thanks in advance.

same thing
I had the same issue. The initial connectivity setup was done here in DC, but when I went to the west coast it said I was roaming when I clearly wasn't. I tried running the connectivity setup again, but that didn't fix anything.
I have a TYTN-Pro on ATT networks in the US

Reg Edit to get rid of Roaming
Use this Reg file to get ride of the roaming triangle. I got it of a registry from a vp3G AT&T ROM.

This just perminately removes it...right? He still wants it to work if he's really roaming.
This has been a known mysterious bug to do with how the os, sim card, & network carrier interact. Most fixes have been by changing roms. Here's the original thread info: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=295871

You are right, this perminatley removes it as I found out when I went to Canada. I had to rely on the provider name (AT&T vs Rogers) to know if I was roaming or not.
At least It removes the annoying triangle

Hmm... interesting... by what you are saying here, vp3G's has the hack built in? Interesting... in that case, maybe I'll give Sham or Schap's a try again. I'll just have to be dilligent about making sure I am not roaming.
Thanks
-DR

my question is that if im roaming am i going to be to be charged if it still says at&t

If I am understanding this correctly... so long as you see your "home network" as the one you are connected to, you should be fine.
I did have another concern: if the roaming icon is disabled, my data will not know any better and auto download. True, yes?
-DR

I got the roaming icon when I switched my radio ROM to 1.47.30 from 1.51.. Also my battery wears out quite fast. Does the phone search for "own" network when it's on roaming state (this might explain the battery issue)?

how do i install the .reg file? Step by step would be nice. all i have so far is 'import it'. How do you do this? I have tried just clicking on it, but it just opens up my registry editor, with no option to import or add, etc.

I guess nobody knows.

You say that it opens your registry without option to import, then you may not have a registry editor installed... If you do, you may see a menu softkey at the bottom right, from there you can click menu and then import your file...
Have a look around, there are several registry editors available... I don't have a link at hand at the moment, but if you use the Forum Search link in my signature, you should get good results... Search for "registry editor"...
Hope this helps...
EDIT: did it myself and this is the top hit... http://www.freewareppc.com/utilities/phmregistryeditor.shtml
EDIT2: just in case, copy file to device and then just tap it and it will install itself...

i had the same problem in the beggining when i unloced my 8525 to use on T-mobile network. initially i had no problems, then when i flashed few roms the triangle showed up, i thought it was a rom issue but all other roms even the oem's were doing the same thing. i was googling arround and found someone had changed their sim card and it helped, so i went to t-mobile got my 4 year old sim card replaced and BAM! like a charm triangle is gone on the spot!
chance em!

I have had the Roaming Icon show with some of the ROM's. Right now I have VP3G's 3.62 ROM and no roaming ICON.

Exactly what it has been doing for me. I just removed and reinstalled PHM's Reg Editor 0.70. Click on the ATT No Roaming.reg file, and it opens up PHM's Reg Editor, at the root, with the HKCR/HKCU/HKLM/HKU root menu. Then I click the Tools menu, and Import is at the top, but is all grayed out. I can't choose this option.

Turn off Message Sent notification...

Hey guys, I know this sounds like a stupid question but, when I send a txt message it always comes up with the message sent notification. Ive been through all the settings and I can not find a place to turn it off. Ive installed advanced tools and the setting there does not work either. I have a tp2 on verizon. If anyone could guide me to the right location to turn off the message sent notifications Id appreciate it. Thanks as always.

Download and install CeRegistryEditor to your Windows PC. Launch it and connect your phone via USB.
In CeRegEdit, go to Connection -> Connect. Then Tools -> Unlock. Observe your phone and accept to the on-screen notification.
Your registry is now unlocked for editing.
In CeRegEdit, browse to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings. You will see SMSNoSentMessage with a value of 0. Double-click and change the value to 1.
In CeRegEdit, go to Connection -> Exit.
Job done.
EDIT: FYI, the "Sent" message annoyed me to no end also, and this was the first of many tweaks I made to my Tilt 2.

Yeah I did that registry edit. It is already set to 1. That stupid message sent thing still pops up. Its driving me crazy. There has to be a way to shut it off. Thats the only problem I have with my tp2. I appreciate it the help. Any other suggestions?

Huh... mine is already at 1 also. Anything I might be missing?

Registry Edits to Tether?

Hey,
I hard reset my phone recently, Before so I found a Registry Edit on Here that allowed me to Tether, using my phone's data connection as internet for my desktop/notebook.
Can't remember the Edit, tried a search, but had no luck finding it.
Can someone point me in the right direction, or know the Edit, thanks.
