Hi,
I've just upgraded my O2 Xda II mini to the latest ROM (1.11) and found a problem.
Previously, I could end a GPRS session by tapping on the icon at the top and then clicking on the "Disconnect" button in the dialog bubble.
On the latest ROM, the "Disconnect" button has gone from the dialog bubble. It's simply not there any more.
I called the O2 Helpdesk and they have not had any other reports of this, and simply told me to hold the red "end call" button. While this works, it also backs me out of application I have open and active, which is a nuisance.
Does anyone else have this problem?
Yes you are right my MDA Compact came with the latest rom from factory and I was wondering why there is no disconnect button...? now I can see that it's common problem in 1.11 made by some mistake or something.
I guess they remove it because of the "GPRS connection problem" as I used to have problem on GPRS re-connection (after disconnected), however, after upgrade to 1.11, the problem no longer exist !
Thanks for your responses, Shamus and waiting4u.
I posted a message on the Mtek forum in Australia and one user there has the latest ROM and does not have this problem. Maybe it only happens to upgraded minis as opposed to new ones that came with 1.11?
Would really like this back. O2 support was no help and didn't even know it was a problem.
But this is obvious stupidy always on GPRS connection drains battery as a charm, I omitted the problem by installing SPB Gprs Monitor but disconnect shoud be implemented in system. M$ stupidy is enormous :evil:
PeterW mine MDA came with 1.11 it wasn't upgraded!!!

Hi Shamus,
In that case, it must be a stupid Microsoft oversight. I checked my colleague's Xda mini this morning - he is still running 1.03 ROM, and he does have the disconnect button. Very frustrating. :evil:
this little fine proggy finally makes me happy

Thanks Shamus! Will give it a try.

Yes, it works well and gives me back the Disconnect button. Thanks again.
No problem
Hi,
I would like to know if anyone else has GPRS problems with the QTEK 9100 ? It hangs up as it wants (once every 10min, once every 24h) If it is connected and I want to sync, it doesn't work, I have to hang up in order to reconnect and sync.
Anyone knows something about this ?
Micman
I guess it depends on the operator. GPRS on my 9100 doesn't want to work with MTS. Megafon SIM card solves the issue.
Don't got that problem, got another problem. How do you disable the gprs connection easy ? any know can't find a way to do it easy.
Right now i need to go to /settings/connections/gprs and start changing the settings and push cancel to disable it.
Try this one: http://www.gb-soft.cz/XDAII/default.htm
Works very well for mine , even under WM5
Need answers , hit me ;-)

Just press and hold the red end key for more than 3 seconds and the GPRS-connection is terminated. I have even tried to install GB softtweak wich is able even i WM5.0 to bring the disconnect button to the gprs-bubble and it work.

I guess Tver's MTS GPRS differs from Moscow's. I heard they're testing EDGE here. This might be the cause. 9100 hangs on GPRS every time until reset or flight mode on/off.
Yes, the same situation...
In very random moments GPRS hangs ... I'm with Vivatel, Bulgaria...
Have you found solution ?

Nice utility thanks
Here is what I've done so far. Anyone with experience or anyone who has successfully gotten their setup to work, please chime in !
1. Install the JASJAM_WWE_1.20.305.3_1.20.305.104_1.07.03.10_ship.exe rom. Test. Works fine when connected by USB, syncs to any Exchange server with no problem.
However, When I try to sync to any Exchange Server or a different Exchange server through the GPRS connection, it sits on "Synchronizing folders", then "Looking for Changes" and finally after a few minutes of doing nothing, it just gives up and goes back to "Waiting for network".
2. As a test, I've tried to install a different ROM. This time ME_DT_WWE_1182553_106_10303_Ship.exe. Now when I try to connect to the GPRS connection, it retries the dial twice, then it "Dialed : open.softbank.ne.jp. Cannot connect for an unknown reason. Check your connection settings, etc.". This is after installing the SoftBank extended ROM and doing a hard reset, which worked fine for the previous i-mate ROM.
Anyone have any suggestions or ideas?

Wireless OK
After doing some more testing, and changing back to the original i-mate ROM, it seems to sync to Exchange just fine using a Wireless connection.
However going back to GPRS, and it's back to doing exactly the same "synchronising folders"/"looking for changes".
To this date, I have never had a successful GPRS sync - has anyone else?
Japan users?
There are no Japan users with SoftBank GPRS ActiveSync working....?
Hi there, Andrew (you sent him an email) point me to this thread, and will try to reply here. Actually I didn't flash my X01HT yet, but I use Exchange daily on my HTC Mteor and HTC Universal with open.softbank.ne.jp, it works flawlessly. I am waiting for HTC Taiwan to send me back my HTC Hermes (Dopod) back from reparation to try.
But ! Even with my X01HT in Japanese I have sometimes difficulties to connect to the internet and I also have the same error as yours. So this is not really only a ROM issue here.
Now I hard reseted my X01HT and soft reset it before installing the Extended ROM, so there, I do not have any Softbank crap installed my my device and once the open.soft... stuff set I have no problem neither.
Finally I know that some ROM are not Japanese network friendly, for example on my HTC Universal, with an iMATE ROM, I cannot place any Video call, nor access to my voice mailbox correctly, I can dial 1416, but when I want to access to my voice mail... it doesn't work.
Now on ALL my device here in Japan I only install a Dopod ROM, they are, as far as I am concerned the best ROM ever made and with them EVERYTHING WORKS, and I will strongly advise you to try to install a Dopod Rom on your Hermes. If you do not have it on the FTP, I have one on my desktop at the office that HTC Taiwan sent me (HER_DopodAsia_1237074_1060010_WWE_SHIP)
Fantastic, I'll try to install the rom at www.dopodasia.com/download/HER_DopodAsia_1237074_1060010_WWE_SHIP.exe
and see how I go. Thanks very much for your help and ideas.
Sorry to hear about your sick HTC Hermes!

After flashing the Hermes with the new Dopod image, it keeps giving me a
Network Wizard error.
I tried adding the open.softbank.ne.jp settings, but it didn't work.
Then I replaced the Extended ROM with the Softbank Extended ROM. Then the settings for SoftBank were automatically configured - but don't work. It says "the current connection cannot be used for your request". Also, the network wizard comes up every soft reset and says "Your current operator (44020) is not supported. You should obtain an update from your device vendor".
This is kind of confusing - do you have any advice? Did you use the Extended ROM as it was?
Thanks very much for your help
"Your current operator (44020) is not supported. You should obtain an update from your device vendor".
Do not worry for that I have the same problem.
Now you are telling me that you cannot login at all, cannot surf at least the internet?
Just a quick thought... my SBS do not have a real SSL, this is a SBS SSL, so when I quote the box SSL connection in my Mteor or Hermes... it won7t work... try to unquote this box...
Hi there,
Thanks for your reply. I've been messing around on this all night/all day again, and I've made some slow painful progress!
Firstly, I'm glad you had the same problem. Now I'm reassured that the problems are not related.
Next up, I've been trying to get the internet working. I managed to get it to connect before, but whenever I tried to access any site through IE, I got the error "エラーが発生しました。リクエストが不正です。 wj46000e".
I have since done a few hard-resets, and now it doesn't connect, despite me putting in the connection details 10's of times. I now get the error "Dialed : open.softbank.ne.jp. Cannot connect for an unknown reason"
Did you ever have these kinds of problems?
What kind of extended rom are you using? I just copied and pasted the whole Softbank Extended ROM, which worked perfectly on the JASJAM ROM.
If you have any ideas, I'd be really grateful.
Thanks very much

I also get this error while ago... actually the first time I had my X01HT and with the Japanese ROM.
I really do not know what is going on with your device, I just hardreset my HTC Universal and put ALL the setting by hands, NO cab from crap Softbank, and it WORKS !
We should maybe meet one day, and try to let me see your device...
Fantastic - you're really giving me hope that one day soon I'll have a fully functioning device!!
I'll try restoring the original Extended ROM and inputting all the settings manually again. Hopefully it'll work this time.
I'd love to meet up for a chat and a show and tell session! I'd like to see your fully functioning device. Send me a private msg and I'll reply with my Skype/Email address.

Ok Will PM U, but just for reference I flash back my Universal to its orginal ROM and not the 1.90 that we can found here, and straight after the flashing, I put manually the Softbank setting and... WORKS ! I am sure you made a mistake somewhere this is not possible otherwise
Ah ok I see... so you installed your original ROM. Is that available for download anywhere? I'd like to replicate your setup as closely as possible.

I just tried installing the other Dopod ROM - with exactly the same results. "cannot connect for an unknown reason". This same stuff worked perfectly on the JASJAM ROM, so I am starting to think these problems are somehow ROM related.
Where did you get your ROM from again?

This is a Rom for my universal, not my Hermes, My Hermes with a Dopod rom will be sent back to me today. And since my wife want to use the Japanese X01HT I didn't flash it to US... anyway let's meet and check this out.
Guys, are you using the standard Softbank PC Site Direct connection?
If so, you'll never get Exchange Activesync working unless you uncheck the box for "This server requires SSL" AND the Exchange administrator has configured the system to allow non-SSL connections.
Softbank's "open.softbank.ne.jp" connection is anything BUT open. They are doing port blocking and currently appear to only allow port 80, 25, 110 unless you use Pocket IE. This means that ActiveSync and most IM applications fail.
Softbank is reported to say that they plan to begin supporting Exchange ActiveSync "sometime in December" - until then, the port is closed and there is nothing you can do to make it work.
The workaround is to use [email protected] (but this can get very expensive). [email protected] does not have any port blocking.
Anybody heard any updates as to when Softbank will stop blocking the ssl port for Exchange ActiveSync? Still scheduled for sometime in December? This is killing me . . . so stupid that they would do something like this but so typical.
I will die and rot away before these bastards open up SSL...

I have been looking through the Japanese sites as well but haven't seen anything. I just keep testing every day. Frigging bastards... I told my Exchange and networking team in the US about it and they had never heard of a Windows Mobile device that was blocked from syncing with Exchange SSL over the wireless.
I have a friend in Korea though with a Samsung WM5 device - his works with Exchange but other ports are blocked so he can't use IM apps. So Japan mobile providers are even more backwards than in Korea.
Hi, hope this issue has been solved already but just in case:
Softbank open APN open.softbank.ne.jp *did not* allow SSL port to go through, so you needed to turn off SSL mode of ActiveSync.
It seems, though, since a few days ago, Softbank opend almost all ports for APN open.softbank.ne.jp thus you should be able to use SSL ActiveSync without problems.

Glad to hear it worked. Now my interest is how Softbank is going to treat PC users trying to use X01HT as a wireless modem. I personally hope they provide unlimited usage for $80-$90 per month... (after April)
hello, like the title says, iv just ordered my xda exec and i should have it in a couple of days, i was wondering can i use my exec to make and recieve skype calls? can i send and recieve faxes thru it on the o2 netweork and also if i flash jwrights rom to it, will it remove all of the crappy o2 software??
thankyou for your help
1. Yes, you can make/receive skype calls(provided you have fast internet connection)
2. Regarding fax, I m not on O2 network and I dont use mine for faxes(let somebody else answer your query)
3. O2 'crappy' software wont be installed if you do a soft-reset before the '3 sec customisation' screen appears.
note: you can do away with the 'crappy' customisation for ever by flashing some other ms.nbf file. Also, you have the option to unlock the extended rom and change the files over there(you can also 'cook' your own extended rom)
once iv downloaded the skype software, is it exxpensive to use? on my o2 contract i have a data bolt-on which gives me 5mb per month, will using skype use up my data pretty quick?
iv been reading about hacks and tweaks? should i experiment with these? or just install a new rom? i have very limited knowledge on this sort of stuff, i did upgrade the rom on my xda11i to pugs rom, but didnt really understand what it did! just wanted to try it out! what have most of you guys done with your universals?
if anyone on here is on the O2 network id love to know what you've done to your exec's and also if they can send/recieve faxes
thankyou
Hi again!
For skype, you need fast internet connection. I m, unfortunately, unaware of the fact whether 3G,UMTS is avaliable in UK. You can use wifi too for skype(this is what I do)
AFA new ROMs are concerned, most of them come pre-tweaked with all enhancements(and some useful utilities too).
As you must be knowing, the 'pug's ROM which you had installed for HTC alpine(O2 IIi), it is basically the O2 ROM without O2 'crappy' apps. So, as I had said before, everything depends on what you have in extended ROM. If you flash with some other extended ROM file(these files are known as "ms.nbf" files) or you unlock+unhide it with extended rom unlocker tool, your device wont be customised after each hard reset
would anyone be able to give me a little breakdown on what unlocking the extended rom does? i have read a bit about it, but im not quite sure what this achieves!?
and yes we do have 3g over here, so in theory ill be able to make skype calls, how much data does it use if i use it over 3g??
I have been given a "Hermes" from the O2 Network (XDA Trion), I want to use it on the Three Network here in the UK. Are there any settings or software resets I need to do? I understand that this phone was not intended for this network, but it seems the best phone for my needs. Any comments? Suggestions? Tips?
Hope you can help! Thanks!

Hi. I did this recently. I flashed to schap's latest rom which had some way of automatically configuring the phone (but I don't know if that happens without the rom). In order to get to planet 3 (eg check balance) you will need to pretend to be an allowed phone (eg n95 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=341755&page=2 ).
If you need any help, just ask. Seems to work perfectly, and with schaps rom I get hsdpa .
