Anyone else with an XDA II on Orange had problems with the phone occasionally losing the network? i.e. signal just continually shows a line of repeating dots and tapping the icon displays "searching". Only way I've found to re-connect (even in full coverage) is to turn the phone on/off..... Strange cos it never used to happen on O2.....

A bizarre question I know but is there a way to disable GPRS permanently via a registry hack????
I have my XDA and am using a 3 sim card with it. It works fine (apart from soft rebooting whenever it feels like it with no pattern or timescales, if anyone knows of why this may be I would love to hear) but as I travel around the country on business I am constantly dropping from the 3 network onto the O2 backbone network as 3 does.
That isnt a problem as it is the way it works when I lose 3 reception it falls over to O2 automatically (those in the UK will know that). When I go back into a relevant area though my phone is then picking up the GPRS side of things and I get the little triangle symbol and the G symbol pop up.
I never use GPRS at all and wonder is there any way I can disable the triangle and G symbol by disabling my XDA from picking up GPRS.
Is it possible or do I just have to live with it???
TIA

I have the UK T-mobile MDA Pro and am having all sorts of problems with the connection to T-mobile. If I am sat at home I get 1 or 2 bars (50-70% according to Hudson Phone Dashboard) and this is fine unless I ask the phone to do anything, open software, menu, etc.
In which case the signal strength disappears completely and then the phone sits for 1-2mins until it finds the signal again and the process then repeats...
Has anyone else seen this or do I have a defective unit??
Cheers

Mine sometimes switches between UTMS and GRPS if I try connecting to anything, but only if I'm in a ****e coverage area (mainly at work).
BTW, I don't suppose u have call timers working right on hudson phone dash with the MDA Pro?

Andy,
I had something that looks a little bit like it. The phone kept searching for a connection when trying to work wit MSN.
I put my phone settings on : settings/phone/band and set network type to GSM, when I am in Holland. So don't keep it on "auto"
When I am here in Romania however I can switch it back to auto and do not have the problem. It switches to the battrery consuming UMTS however. If I put it back on GSM it stays on GPRS however.

I have already tried setting the phone on Manual GSM - 1800... which improves the speed at which it reconnects but doesn't seem to eliminate the problem of the disconnections...
I know the signal isn't fantastic here but I have an old nokia 6210 with a tmobile payg sim in it and that always has 1-2 bars and has never lost it's signal...
I just tried putting it back on Auto... Then open messages and right on cue it lost the signal...
What do other people think? Does this sound faulty to you?
My Wizard's (MDA Vario) phone sometimes looses its connection for no apparent reason. It'll have 4 bars of signal and then all of a sudden the bars disappear and you'll see the 4 dots indicating it's looking for a signal. This won't correct itself until you soft reset the device.
Is this a known problem? I tried searching for it, but couldn't find anything.

do you use gprs or edge?
Hi guys,
I have a problem with the 3G connection on my phone. If I have wi-fi active, 3G doesn't work. If I turn off wi-fi and enable data connection, it still doesn't work (the 3G icon shows up next to the signal icon, but no internet). I have to restart the phone in order for the internet to work (a 3G+ icon shows up, or E, depending on the signal strength). And this method doesn't always work, sometimes I have to restart the phone 2-3 times.
I tried an app (Repair 3G), but it doesn't seem to do anything useful.
Also, I don't know if it matters, but there's no custom rom on the phone, only official updates. For unlocking, I used some website that I found here, I just visited the site from the phone, clicked a button and the phone was unlocked (at least I can install xap's from the PC).
Can someone help me with this?
Thanks!
You can try "Network Profile".
Choose another Profile and than back to yours .
If your profile is not listed in profile manager try some other which is listed for your country (which might use the same network as your provider).
Keep in mind that your IE favorites are also reset when switching profile. At least that's what I noticed.
I have a problem with my Galaxy s6 Edge Plus (G928M - Brazil)
When browsing the web with only mobile data turned on, wether using edge/3g/lte, the mobile loses connection .
I still have connection visible in the status bar, but wepages stop recieving data and it just stays hanging, with the loading bar at the same place. It can be fine for 3-4 minutes and then start to act up again.
One sollution is to toggle data connection on/off, then it will work again, but only for a couple of minutes. Even this metode sometimes doesnt solve the problem. My phone is unrooted. I have tried factory reset. Tried to root with arter97 (the problem persists) .I have tried using the different settings in mobile data; just gsm, just wcdma and wcdma/gsm- automatic etc. The signal strenght is good.
I used my simcard in another phone and don't face the problem. I used another simCard in my phone and the problem remais. So, The problem is in the phone, unfortunatelly.
Do anyone have the same problem, know of a cause for this, or have possible a sollution? Please share
