For some reason I lost my GPRS connection today and since then I cannot connect. It happened when I was testing my MSN connection between my computer and my XDAii. As I was chatting with myself - sad I know - the connection got lost just as I removed the XDAii from the cradle. When I try to connect I now get this message...
Cannot Connect
Dialed:
The answering modem has disconnected. To check your connection settings and change them if needed, tap settings.
Now, I had a look at my settings and must admit I'm a bit lost as I don't know what is all means, so I've made no changes. I've called O2 support - which takes forever to speak to someone - and someone from the data dept will call back I've been promised, but I don't trust support staff from call centres, been let down too many times in the past!
Does anyone else know what the problem might be pease?
Sorted it out now - for some reason my profile reset itself back to German rather than UK - Wierd!
I have had 3 xda2's that insisted on setting itself to german from the cold boot even though uk was selected, must be a bug.

This is becoming a problem and im dreading my phone bill when it comes through. If someone sends me an MMS the phone auto connects to GPRS and downloads the image. Not a problem there, the problem is that after downloading the image the connection doesnt disconnect. Now unless i remember to disconnect it, it stays connected running up my bill. The same goes for when i send an image it connects but wont disconnect after it sents. I would have thought this would have been a standard option as it is with normal phones. I cant always remember to manually disconnect the GPRS everytime. Anyone got any info on this please?
Either hold down the "End call" button for a few seconds to disconnect or tap the icon and choose disconnect. Shouldn't worry though as the beauty of GPRS is you only pay for data transfer, not to be connected.
You can leave it connected 24x7 with no charge, you only pay when you transfer data. I used to be abit unsure about this when I got my first GPRS phone about 5 years ago - rang O2 and they confirmed it.

Good to know - thanks for the info :wink:
hey, thanks for that info, i managed to talk to O2 and they confirmed that you dont get charged for having GPRS on unless you use it. Thanks again.
You can also try this great freeware utility that lets you set automatic disconnect timeouts for GPRS:

hi everyone, i got my brand new xda exec today..
its a great fone and i like it very much.. but i am having some trouble with my gprs connections.. i have setup the connections as i wud on my late xda II mini.. and the connections seems working just fine wen the are connected automatically for use (like for receiving/sending mms, messenger.. etc) but as i hav a different connection for browsing the internet, because of my operater (damn operator!!!), i had to connect it manually (i did the sam on the mini too) by tapping on the G icon and choosing it from the connectivity bubble which pops up..
but wen it cam to the exec, it doesnt show any connections there, eventhough i already had the two connections from my operator.. it just says, "to connect to either the internet or work, set up a new connection in settings" .. as if i had no connections made..
why doesnt it shows the two connections like it used to show up in my mini :?: i feel its a problem with my fone / OS.. is this how it is in windows mobile 5 :?: if so, is there anyway i can show my connections there in the bubble which pops up wen i tap the G icon :?: any help wud b appreciated.. thanx in advanced..
wont anybody say anything?
still nobody?!? i'm sure there wud b ppl, hu can help me here.. or ppl hu've got the sam problem.. wont anybody just say anything???
I have the exact same problem! A bit stupid how nobody will answer!?? At least tell us if your own one works fine, people!?
I have a feeling that it is a problem with our phones, as I upgraded the ROM to a Qtek and Imate rom but still had same problem. Mine is an Orange SPV M5000 btw.
Hope somebody will take some notice....

No I'm afraid I don't have that either unlike on my BA which did list the connections and a connect to... button.
Perhaps someone (or even I) could write a little program that pops up a list of connections and allows you to connect them.
But why would you want to do this. I too have a different mms and internet connection - just set one to be the default for internet and work (under connections control panel) and tell the mms program to dial the mms connection. Works for me on orange. Do you really need two different cellular connections AND an mms connection?

Because I want to use GPRS, MMS, and my own VPN Connection..... a bit annoying. Oh well
@appu, you know the bubble you get when you click on the "G" allows you to access a WiFi connection and that is why you get a query about internet/work. Are you saying your SIM has two phone lines, one for calls and one for data? If that is the case I have not seen any one mention this situation before. Would you need to switch off youe device and select the second line?
No No No. You didn't quite understand what I was saying. On my Alpine, when I tap on that bubble I get a connection menu for Wifi, My ISP connection, and my Work Connection. On the Universal, the last two do not appear... I was just wanting to find out if that is the case on EVERY Universal.
No two line business etc!? Don't know where that came from?!

@moghisi101, you can change the selection of the GPRS/3G connection from start>settings>connections>connections and select "manage existing connections"
Same on the JasJar and XDA Exec
Yes I know, but that seems much more 'involved' compared to what it is supposed to do; show them in that bubble. I think it may be a glitch in WM5. Would be interesting to see if people that have Wizards have same problem.

all wm5 have this issue.
it is known, there is no fix, and nothing that can be done at this point except follow the directions as indicated.
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.

hi bros. i want to ask. how come my atom life cant turn on wi-fi?
i mean sometimes can sometimes cannot. i turn it on thru the wireless manager. and i plugged it into my computer.
is it always like this? do i have to unplug it from the computer? do help. thanks
I'm also haunted by this problem. It will normally visit us if we installed quite a number of applications/games on our device. Weird thing is, it will randomly visit me, and when it does, it will never go away. If I'm lucky enough, it will go away for a session (after a soft reset), then it will revisit.
So far, the only way to resolve this is to hard reset. I've already documented the problem and sent it to O2 but so far, no reply... Well, O2 support is suck. If you call them, they will ask you to take your device to the O2 Repair Centre and when you do, they will ask you to do a hard reset. Never before will they try to find the cause of the problem.
try to key in in the WI-Fi, under o2 wifi 803.11b/g wireless adapter. Select use Specific Ip. Key in 127.0.0.1. Exit. On the wifi again. Return to same slection and chanage back to use server assigne ip.
Hope is help u. i sure solve my problem.
Wifi Problem
Well i noticed that when i plug it into my laptop the wifi will stop and when i umpluged it, it will work again. I don't if it's normal or not have to try it and see if i disconnect my laptop from internet will it stop or it will act as sharing internet connection through my PDA wifi.
plc check u,r CPU Profile, if its in Best Power & u,r batery is lessthan 30% it may happen. u have to change the Profile to AUTO. just try
Btw, the fun thing is, O2 never replied to my inquiry about this problem. Even the new company also does not respond. (For your info, O2 Asia has been replace by a new company but the CEO is still the same guy)
Hey,
I have my tytn set to check emails every 5 minutes using my homes wifi connection. My problem is every once in a while i'll look to find GPRS has connected... this is really annoying me, as i don't know then if email is being checked using wifi or GPRS which costs. MAINLY though bcause I don't know WHY it is doing it.
In connections, my top selection is CONTRACT INTERNET which holds my gprs connection settngs and the bottom one is my work network. the slightest change in either of these STOPS INBOX from checking over wifi giving me an ';error synchronsing message;'
Can anyone tell me WHY my tytn persists with this?
thank you
hey, well incase anyone is reading and looking for a short term fix, UNTICKING the remember password box in gprs settings means if it attempts to dial, it CAN'T connect without the password being ntered. not ideal, but it at least stops any nasty surprises when you don't expect them
I had the same issue with WM 5. After upgrading the device to WM 6 this problem was solved for me.
