I found some interesting crap on GPRS connection alive keeping in other places. What's the deal? Anybody have any ideas?
Having the T-Mobile unlimited ****ty GPRS, I really would like to keep it on. Of course that's conveniently not a feature part of the ROM. Rumor has it though that it is available on AT&T. Thoughts, suggestions, kitchen updates?

The T-Mobile WM2003 updates spoken about in this forum include the Always-On GPRS if you are willing to run beta software. I updated my US T-Mobile PPC with v4.00.10 with the new radio stack and it works great.
There is also a 4.00.16 ROM around, And I've read good things about it, but at this rate I'm not going to reinstall all of my apps until T-Mobile releases their final WM2003 update publically.

I forgot to mention the one difference between WM2003 and the old AT&T ROM in respect to GPRS. There is no control panel applet to turn off Always-On GPRS, you have to actually turn off the phone to disconnect GPRS. It's not really a problem since phone calls will automatically temporarily disable GPRS and then re-enable it once the voice call is over.
Otherwise, the WM2003 implementation of GPRS is one of the better features of the ROM upgrade. The only other feature that I like more are the new SMS features:
- New buttons when you receive an SMS msg (Reply, Call, Delete, Close)
- SMS msgs will display the sender's name if it is in your contacts list
- Character counter in Inbox when typing SMS msgs
- Message Sent indicator from Inbox (previously only in PhoneBook)
- Quickfill of TO, CC, and BCC fields from contacts list (just start typing a name)
If you are a heavy GPRS and/or SMS user, and feel you are saavy enough to do the upgrade (or live with the consequences if it fails), then I would do it. I'm glad that I did. You can even make a custom T-Mobile WM2003 ROM from Jeff's ROM Kitchen (link found elsewhere in this forum).
Good Luck,
Scott
To turn off GPRS in WM 2003, hold down the red (hang up) phone button for a couple seconds...
I have 4.0016 but GPRS turns off
Whenver the phone goes to standby GPRS turns off. And yes, I do have all the latest greatest installed from the kitchen. Couldn't find any sort of settings to change it.
Completely flashed the ROM, used 4.00.16 T-Mobile ROM from Jeff's kitchen.
Thanks for all the feedback, now if I can just get this working!
I'm not sure if the ROM image is enough to enable Always-On GPRS, you may need to upgrade to one of the newer radio stacks too. When I upgraded my PPC to WM2003, I did the official T-Mobile 4.00.10 beta, which had the 6.24.00 radio stack.
A new radio stack, either the AT&T or the new TMo 6.24, is necessary for always-on GPRS. I have tried both stacks on the US TMo system and prefer the new TMo 6.24. GPRS will disconnect when the radio loses its connection with the cellular system, or when the device is placed on the cradle. It will reconnect automatically when removed from the cradle, or when the Inbox application attempts a timed check for new messages.
The older radio stacks do not support always-on connections.

Hi all,
i'm developing an application that makes a data call over GSM network.
The data connection work fine beteween pda ipaq + gsm mobile via infrared and a qtek 1010.
My problem is that when a DATA call arrive to my qtek, a big "modal dialog" appear on the screen as happen when a normal voice call arrive...
This dialog is from the original phone program in pocket pc phone edition and cover all the screen so i cant answer the data call from my application...do u know how can i disable the phone program or replace it with my own application?
Thanks u
Fabio
P.s. i'm sorry my english is sooo bad!
Hi,
Just bought a Qtek 9100 in Sweden and I have a few questions:
1. The GPRS connection starts by it self even though I have stopped all apps and shut down the connection by pressing the red button for a couple of seconds. I have to change the network setting to make it stop ( or re-boot). Kind of annoying, and it could get expensive =)
2. Are there any ROM updates for the Swedish version out there (have a Swedish keyboard with "strange" letters ÄÅÖ
3. Is there a tweak or a piece of software that makes it easier choose/set the Network configuration. I have never really understood the Work/home profiles stuff. I always have to both setting from i.e. work to home if I want to use GPRS or Wi-Fi when surfing or running MSN Messenger.
4. Are there any good Wireless scanners like i.e. Netstumbler out there? NetStumbler don't support the Qtek.
5. Is there a way of having pictures etc stored directly on the memory card by default?
Besides these couple of annoying things I really love my phone
Regards,
Vice
Forgott to add Rom version etc.

Hi everyone!
I am using a QTEK 9100, Molski flashed (2.26.10.2 WWE Rom, 2.25.11 Radio) with a Cingular Pick your Plan Line and Unlimited MediaNET (I use it for activesync with mail2web.com).
Now every few minutes I receive an annoying message popup from "phone" telling me about my balance and remaining minutes.
Normally, this should only happen after a call...
My problem: Although all Sounds are off and no sound is even enabled for events or programs this problem is draining my battery (by switching the phone and therefore the screen on) over night.
Anyone experiencing the same?
Thx,
Hk.
Hi. I have problem with my HIMALAYA device. My HIMALAYA sometimes don't receive sms (maybe 1 on 40 messages is not receiving). I know this beacuse my gilrfried send sms to me very often and sometimes she call to me beacuse i don't reply for her text messages. My HIMALAYA dont receive sometimes text messages from others peoples who send sms to me.
This himalaya is my second device (first i sold and buy new) and this problem exist in both devices.
I haved 3 version of radio rom (1.08, 1.17 and 1,18) and this not solve this problem.
Now i changed GSM operator and sim card but problem still exist.
I haved many WM5 version flashed on my device and this not solve this problem too.
