Does anyone know why when quick gps expires, it doesnt automatically update? I am on a custom ROM (mightyrom 2/1) on a CDMA Tp2 (SPRINT). the quick GPS data expires and says EXPIRED but is never automatically updated until I manually do an update. I have it set to automatically update. is there a service or something that needs to be running??
Expired means the 7 days are up that the satellite positioning was good for. It should download new positions which will then say 7 days...
Seems to work fine when I use wireless or when I update synced to my PC...
Thanks.. I know what expired means on QUICK GPS. the issue is that it NEVER UPDATES the data. I have it set to DOWNLOAD AUTOMATICALLY and ALSO to DDOWNLOAD when connected to a PC. NADA.. is there a service that needs to be running or something??
anyone with a solution??
You only need an active internet connection for the update to run. There are no services required to be running for the update. Try opening an internet connection, either 3G or wifi and then manually run the update to make sure the quickgps program itself is not corrupted. If it does update manually, likely you need to change the internet settings to allow programs to open a 3G session.

Thanks for the info.. It does run manually and everythng else runs on its own wihtout me doing anything such as EMAIL, weather, facebook tab updates, etc etc etc... I think its only the quick GPS not running when the data expires.
I also have the check in the down when connected to USB and it doesnt do that either wen I am connected to my computer...
Mine is always up to date. I look every few weeks, and quite unlike my original Tilt, it's always up to date.
check your connections page under network management and make sure of the selection under "programs that automatically connect to the internet should connect using". I am not sure on sprint, but at&t uses "medianet" for such connections. Try one or more of these settings to see if it makes a difference. Your mail programs are always open, running in the background, and quickgps starts up, runs and shutsdown, so it must enact a web connection, where your mail does not. Likely, since the program works manually, the settings here are not correct

I just checked and under programs that automatically connect it was set to "MY WORK NETWORK" .. then there is program that connect to a private network .. its also set to MY WORK NETWORK. I changed the top on to the choice called SPRINT .. I bet that solves it... Should I worry about the other setting for private networks?
EDIT: I changed it to SPRINT but it keeps resetting to "MY WORK NETWORK" .. how do I fix this? is there a registry setting for this?
EDIT: I put sprint for BOTH SETTINGS and it appears to save... do I need to worry about the PRIVATE NETWORK SETTING since I dont have any VPN set up on the phone.. the MY WORK NETWORK does not have any settings in it...
No, don't worry about it. It is just another option to set up alternate connections, if you need them. Leave it at Sprint for your internet connections and you should be fine. Write more if you need help,
Im on a new ROM and once again QUICKGPS is not automatically downloading when expired.. I followed the fix on here that works on the other rom I was running.. any ideas? Im on mighty 6/20
anyone??? no ideas??
Guys, I just purchased Sprint Touch Pro 2 and using it in Europe (GSM).
Though when I try to run the GPS application, it forces me to download the latest satellite data but even if my phone is connected to the internet via USB, it doesn't download anything.
Any idea why it isn't working? And also, why does the software needs to download stuff from internet, a GPS device should be finding the satellites himself, without any "aid" from external sources.

Hi
I flashed the
WM6 Cingular USA version (same as the official but cingular customized and radio version 1.48) thanx madcap180
http://rapidshare.com/files/42972317...T-MR3_Ship.exe last night without any problems. But after that I am having trouble of connecting to internet.
Detais: I was connecting internet at home via my own WIFI router well before I flashed the ROM. But afterwards, I can logon skype, and use check windows updates. However, I cannot use IE to go to any webpage. Also, I cannot logon windows live messager. They just simply resposnes that "The page cannot be dispalyed or downloaded because the connection was lost. check the connection and try again later." But the connection is fine all the time.
Can somebody help?
Thanks
Never mind. fixed. just disable the proxy
I too am on at&t usa and every time I experience problems with internet access I simply hard reset and load the "cingular" settings cab. This way your setting are pre configured and it works everytime. The only other thing I could recommend is checking your connection settings under connections and of course email as well . Beyond this, I dunno maybe try and load another rom.
I am using vp3gs 3.61 rom with windows live messenger version 10.6.0031.2600. no matter what I do it won't connect on my WPA-PSK enabled router. I can connect fine to the internet.
Any special setup I need to do to get it to work?
Thanks for any help.
EDIT
Could someone on ATT disable the phone and use WIFI only and see if you can connect to LIVE?
I am using 10.6.0031.1600(older than yours) but I am able to connect to live services using the wifi with WPA-PSK.
I am using my own cooked rom.
Search in all the forums I remember some people had the simillar issues and had some 'workarounds'
Sorry I do not really remember.
I too also had a problem with .2600, reverted to .1600 and all is good over wifi. By the way, I'm using WPA TKIP on my wifi.
Tried that one too and still get the "there was a problem signing you in to messenger" error after checking internet connectivity.
try these ideas.
1 ensure your wifi settings are to internet and not work
2 ensure you dnt have the ip address set up in exceptions (these ips are only for intranet)
3 turn off your phone entirely. soft reset your phone. check that wifi is still internet and not work.
4 turn on wifi only. check that u have normal internet access. emails and hotmail etc work ok. then open messenger and sign in.
5 if you have to, use wlm switch user command and relogin.
this should work. once u have run and got it working, you can turn your phone back on and it should continue to use wifi and not 3g

Still times out on checking internet connection.
I get email and internet fine. but no WLM.
I am using ATT. What should there be under Connections?
I have tried 2 My ISP and Media.net on My ISP it times out automatically, on Media.net it takes a while to time out.
Also did a hard reset to make sure that it wasnt anything I had installed. With the stock rom I still get the time out.
the proxy server u r using will b blocking that port.
I use telstra in australia, internet and push email works with proxy on, but wlm doesnt.
so i just turn off proxy and everything works except some of the telstra stuff which i dont want anyway.
proxy tends to give a garden firewall of their preferred content.
dunno how to deal with att, but suggest one of your connections should allow you to bypass the proxy styled firewall garden of att.
soz i dont have it to help u further, except to point u towards the proxy manager.
just to reiterate and emphasis the telstra proxy manager controls over rides and screws up 3g/next G connections AND my wifi.
only by turning this proxy manager off can i use wifi and 3g fully.
Thanks, there is a cab that disables the proxy on the att phone, so I disabled it, but that didnt help either.
Wlm 10.6.0031.2600
Hi, does anyone have the cab or installer for the latest WLM 10.6.0031.2600? Can someone post it or make it available for download? Thanks a million
Is anyone who has ATT able to use Windows Live Messenger?
Okay since WLM obviously doesnt work over wifi. How do you guys setup your outlook to get Hotmail?

Absolutely. I use it all the time. Mostly through 3G but sometimes through my home wireless network. Never had a problem.
Memnoch30, what version of WLM you using and do you have it set any special way in connections to use WIFI?
Well it seems I am not the only one having this problem, I got an interesting PM stating another person has the same problem as I do. If someone else could do me a favor, turn off the phone in comm manager, but keep wifi on. Can you still connect to Live???
Anyone? Thanks in advance
Hi
Just try to keep the Red button pressed ~3s (it will cancel the GPRS connection) then Messenger will use the wifi one (i do like that since i use pocket msn).

Doesn't work for me, all that does is close out Live messenger.
anything else I need to try?
It doesnt work even if I turn off GPRS and leave wifi only.
Dear all,
since one week I have the TP2 and like it a lot. Until the TP2 I used to have an Iphone3G and now of course I have to change my user behaviour a little bit.
There is one big topic I would like to discuss here: DataConnections!
I have the problem, that I dont have a flat option for data from my provider. I have to pay by time and not by traffic. Hence I like to keep the time I am connected to the Net to a minimum!
Is it possible to realise the following with the TP2 (maybe with extra software)?
1. Mobile data connection only manually with immediate cut off after the transfer (for example if I press send/receive for mail). If I want to manually access the net there should be a short message box asking me to connect. Currently I have to use the CommCenter to switch data connection on/off. As I already use nodata to really cut off the automated connection behaviour, maybe this tool can also be used somehow to allow access and cut it off after the sending/receiving is done.
2. Wifi Scan constantly in the background (after manually switching it on) to scan for open networks or prefered networks. If some network is found, it automatically connects, checks internet, do all the other automated updates and stays connected until I manually disable wifi.
As you can see, I want to have some kind of automated, cost efficient, connection behaviour of TP2. The tool nodata, which I currently use is great to cut off the automated connection but is not very flexible
I am looking forward to exchange with you on that topic.
Regards,
dvdjimmy
...does really nobody else need something like this? Or am I just too stupid to use the onboard tools of wm6.1 correctly?
Regards,
dvdjimmy
take a look at bandswitch or commmgrpro...
you can use this registry entry,
for example this will kill automatic the connection after 10 seconds,
or if you dont use...
HKLM\Comm\ConnMgr\Planner\Settings\
CacheTime = 10 (sec.)
SuspendResume = GPRS_bye_if_device_off
http://forum.xda-developers.com/search.php
Dear all,
thank you for your suggestions. The registry is already a good start for me. Many thx. The commgrpro also looks very good. It seems to allow also the disconnect after a certain amount of time.
Anyway, I think I have to program it on my own: My dream would be to have a software which I can tell that I allow Access to the net from now on. Then the software is switching on wlan in the background and constantly scans for open or prefered networks. If such a network is found I would like to get connected to it. If somehow the WLAN connection breaks down and access to the net is no longer possible, the app should ask if I would like to use UMTS instead of WLAN right now. If I answer yes, WLAN is switched off, the data connection is switched on, the transfer is taking place and afterwards the connection is cut off completely and WLAN is switched on again and hopefully finds another open access again
So the main benefit would be, that automatically only the WLAN is allowed to connect. All the dataconnection by UMTS have to be allowed and are immediately switched off.
I would like to program something like this if you can help me on how to start with it, as I have not programmed a lot for the WM Platform until now.
With best regards,
Joachim
Hi there,
Maybe I haven't searched in the right area's, but I certainly have had a look around and couldn't find anything to match my exact issue.
I've just purchased an HTC Desire from Telstra in Australia, but I'm based in New Zealand and so didn't want or need all of the built in Telstra stuff so I rooted the device and installed the HTC official Froyo build for the device.
All worked perfectly and the upgrade was successful and all I needed to do was to add 2 APN's, one for mobile data and one for MMS.
Now they connect up perfectly when I manually connect them, but if I open up Internet for example, I'd have expected it to automatically connect up to 3G data if no wireless is available but it doesn't it just says no connection.
The mobile data APN is set as the default and has a green selection next to it when I look at them.
Am I missing something ?? I'm an Android newbie so please excuse this if it's something obvious and I'm being dumb !
Geeeez I'd have expected someone to have been able to answer what I'm sure is such a simple feature / expectation.
All my previous windows mobile devices just hooked up with WIFI if available and 3G if not, I didn't have to manually connect. As soon as a program needed access to 3G it just hooked up and did what it needed.
One thing I was hoping for in Android was that it would hook up as the windows mobile did, but would switch itself off if it wasn't used for a while......... something Windows Mobile didn't do so it would go flat pretty quick if you had it checking the web on a regular basis as it would just leave the 3G connection running even though there was no data flowing.
Come on people.......... do other peoples Android devices hook up automatically when required ??? or am I just expecting too much ?

Yes it does. Other than turning mobile internet off and on, I'm not even certain how you would "manually connect"?
Regards,
Dave
canman your Desire ought to automatically grab the APN settings with a SIM card installed, when you power it up. Failing that, once you manually enter correct settings it should automatically use those. There is no "manual connection" I know of, just enter the APN settings, or verify they are correct, and you never have to do this again. Double-check that the settings are correct. Also, if you are using wifi turn that off until you are sure that your mobile data is working ok. If you have done everything correctly and you are getting error messages, the phone is defective and should be returned.
I have several more weird problems with my Tilt 2 which has been flashed with the WXW version 2.10.50212114. I just moved to Dallas and the weather on the home page shows Houston instead of Dallas. Before wherever I was at I would get that weather.
Another issue is since moving to Dallas I cannot get my personal e-mails on my phone. It just runs and runs and finally errors out. It also hangs up when disconnecting. I do not know if this is a phone issue or an AT&T mail issue. I have a Bellsouth e-mail address
One more issue is whenever my phone and the bluetooth in my truck connect the phone goes to my music on my phone. This seems like it would be a phone issue.
Any ideas?
I was able to get my e-mail working, but have not been able to resolve the other two issues.
Any ideas out there???

For the weather problem, try updating with the 3G radio disabled in Comm Manager.
For the Bluetooth issue. all I can say is that some radios play better with different devices.
There is not a setting for the 3G radio on Comm Manager. Below is what is there.
Airplane Mode
Phone
Bluetooth
Wi-Fi
Microsoft Direct Push
Data Connection
Wifi Router
Everything is on except for Airplane Mode and WiFi Router.

Well, I don't know which ROM you are using, but the setting can also be found in Start > Settings > Connections > Advanced Network. There should be a drop down box there. Set it to Disable. This will make it so the device only connects to GPRS or EDGE networks. This should allow you to update the weather location without a problem.

I found the setting and disabled it. This disabled HSDPA/HSUPA. I then did a reset, but it is still showing Houston instead of Dallas which is where I am right now. Checking the GPRS setting it is asking if I want PAP or CHSP authentication.

If that still isn't working, then the only other things I can suggest are to ask your carrier to reset your connection to the network, or input the location manually. JVH3 made a Weather City Editor app that will add cities to the list if Sense doesn't have them by default.
