Hi guys
I have updated to the latest O2 Rom and since installing and after a hard reset the phone keep dialing into WAP network GPRS and stays logged on for hours. I am continually having to press and hold the red phone button to disconnect.
Anyone have any ideas how to prevent this from occurring?
Many thanks
Matt
Try using GB-SOFT GPRS & Audio Tweak

Hey all, thanks to all your hard work I was rather easily able to upgrade to WM2003 4.00.11 and RS 6.24 (Tmobile). Many, many thanks to everyone who worked on the Kitchens.
So I'm running RS 6.24 and it's got the "always on GPRS" feature. Seems to be working great on my XDA...but how do I end a connection?
I connected to GPRS last night as I setup email on the device, and it still hasn't disconnected since. I've placed calls, sent SMS, turned the device off, but I'm still connected. I've done everything except soft reset, which I'm sure will disconnect but that's not really the answer I'm looking for.
This morning I found it still connected to GPRS, but I cannot receive email or browse the web. If I could quickly disconnect and reconnect to GPRS I think I would be OK.
WM2003 has the neat "tap on phone indicator", "tap connect" quick connect feature, but a similar "tap disconnect" option would be much appreiciated.
PS - I saw the XDA2 at the Windows Mobile event in NYC on Wednesday. One word...DROOL.
RE: WM2003 GPRS Connect/Disconnect
Holding the red hardware "end" button down for 4-5 seconds will disconnect your GPRS session. Alternatively, there are some great tools like SPB Software's GPRS Monitor that provide an easy connect/monitor bandwidth/disconnect functionality.
WHY???????
If I connect to GPRS, then stop connection and then try to connect again it says: "cannot connect, make sure your phone is turned on etc....". I have to softreset again and it will connect, but only one time!!!
It is possible that I have to softreset eachtime I need to connect to gprs??????
Please help!!!
I have MDA2 with T-Mobile 1.60 ROM (english)
Thank you
update: instead of a Soft Reset I discovered that it's enough to Turn Flight mode ON and OFF immediately after. But of course there is a problem!!!
Hi,
You are using Wisbar advanced, aren't you? This is a common problem experienced by all Wisbar Advanced users.
Cheers,
Carlos.

YOU GOT IT!!!!!
But I found WisBar advanced so useful...is there anything I can do in order to continue using it??
Thanks a lot carlosz!!!
hi, i have recently noticed that my XDA starts connecting to the WAP GPRS .This happens when i am not even doing anything with it and neither have i changed any settings. Can anyone tell me what is the problem with it and how can i stop doing it. Also if i press the RED button then it wont stop and keeps going . IF i am not wrong everytime i connect to WAP its is chargeable unlike GPRS . So i think i might be accumulating a huge bill
Any help would be appreciated
cheers

Hi manojsuk,
I've been getting this sudden GPRS connections since I upgraded to 2.06.00 WWE ROM... :? I've never saw this on 1.72.00 WWE...
What ROM Version are you on?
I have just recently got a Xda2i.
Every time I turn it on, i find the gprs enabled.
I have had my old xda2 for more than a year now and this has never happened before.
I am just worried that I am gong to get a shock on my next bill. :shock:
I know that it may use a few bytes here and there, but it tends to add up after a while.
The only way I can stop it from doing this is to go into flight mode. Whats the point of having a xda if the phone is always off? :?
maybe I have changed some gprs settings?
Concerned,
Frogger
The "G" sign at the top of the screen does not mean you are connected to GPRS all the time.
It simply means you are in a GPRS area of the network, so GPRS is available when you need it and connect by tapping the "G" symbol.
lydiachris, or maybe someone else can tell me how to make a disconnect after I've get connected to the Internet over GPRS. In WM2003 (not SE) there is a button Disconnect, but in 2003 SE there is only Hide button... so How can I disconnect from GPRS without tourning on Flight Mode?
Exept Press and hold Hang up Button. :roll:
Hi Lydiachris, please could you tell me where to get hold of the "I-Mate PDA2 ROM:v 1.11.144 WWE " rom. I have looked everywhere and can't seem to find a link. Cheers...

I think if you hold down the hang up button it disconnects the gprs,
it had me wondering for a while.

But there ist no other way without extra software. PhoneAlarm 1.22 for example brings back the diconnect-button. Or use the taskbar-icon from SPB GPRS-monitor, it also got a gprs disconnect button and shows you all gprs stats. But only the full version does that, not that gprs-monitor coming from exROM (T-Mobile).
Here is very good application it adds missing disconnect button and few more options just place it in windows folder make soft reset and go to settings/system/GB-SOFT Tweak enjoy :wink:
Hi guys,
I'm all new to your forum...
I have the o2 xdII, xdaIIs and now i'm using the xda Exec.
I have a strange problem that even o2 technical support team can't fix...
When i start internet explorer it will connect to either gprs or 3g (whatever is available). when i finish browsing the internet, i just close internet explorer and then close the connection by clicking the disconnect button. Where my problem is, is when i want to reconnect to the internet again (say 5 mins after i close the last connection), i cant get any connection whatsoever. I have a good receiption (gprs and 3g). And i have this weird message :
Dialed: mobile.o2.co.uk
The answering modem has disconnected. To check your connection settings and change them if needed, tap Settings.
So after a lot of talking with o2, i still have this problem.
I have tried to uprgrade to the new rom, and nothing, i have change the settings of the cennection, still nothing. i even changed the handset as i and o2 thought it could have been a faulty handset, but still nothing...
The only solution at the present is to do a soft reset everytime i want to connect to the internet... Its very annoying !!!!
Would annyone have a solution ??? Please ?????
Thank you in advance for your help....
Personally; I wouldn't suggest closing the connection and you won't get charged any extra.
this is easy to fix, but you will lose some software you've got installed.
I had this problem and have worked it out to be conflicts between software that handles the phone line. I had mortring, phonealarm and photo contacts pro installed and my gprs would not reconnect after the 2nd attempt. Putting the phone into flight mode and then back into normal mode would allow gprs to reconnect but only once.
So I uninstalled the above 3 applications one by one and found the gprs would reconnect great with only one installed (any one it didn't matter)
So try removing software that handles the phone line until your gprs reconnect works.
