Hi guys,
yesterday I configured my Jam to receive TIM MMS....
Seems to works pretty good but... I tryed to send one MMS to my own number.. I received the MMS but seems that GPRS connection still alive after the sending/receiving.
I just terminated the connection manually but I don't understand very well if I'm wrong or if this is the normal way...
I received one more MMS and when I tap it up a screen with a MMS detail and download button was appears....
What does it mean?
GPRS will stay active after downloading MMS. You can disconnect manually. Not sure if it's really active or just a bug.
If you set your mms client to download messages automatically then you won't get the button when you click on a new MMS message.
This is covered in the manual or the built in help of your ppc. Check it out.
I've noticed the same after getting MMS's and wasn't sure why it stays active.
Found that if I just hold the red button for a tic it seems to shut it down (symbol at top changes back).

I've doubled checked with different SIMs/providers,
and both 1.03 and 1.60 versions....
Going into explorer, activating GPRS, downloading a large page,
and calling my phone from another cellular, I get "no answer"
and the XDAii never rings!
Has anyone experienced this?
Any solution?
Clearly, Voice should override Data according to GPRS standard,
and it did work for me on Treo 270 and Treo 600. But not here?!
tmobile does this to me with an XDAI
tmobile does this to me with an XDAI running 2003 from yorch, the basic rom, not the tmobile version.
A little useless to have gprs on all the time if you can't get calls, no?
gprs on vs gprs active
well in my case:
GPRS is on, but no data in the last few seconds: calls get in
GPRS is on and data "active": no calls get in
So, it is a problem of being "active" and not just "on" for me.
Like I've said, two different providers (900 & 1800) and both SIMs
worked correctly in a TREO 270/600.
GPRS & Calls
In my case, running an Orange M1000 with a version 1.52 ROM, the call gets through even if I have an active mail sync running using a VPN client and GPRS.
The VPN connection however is killed, but GPRS is re-enabled once the call terminates. The VPN client apparently does not re-connect automatically as it should, but this is not an M1000/XDA II problem.
This is how it is supposed to work, I believe.

Yes, same problem here. If IE is loading a page, the calls go to voice mail. The phone does not even ring.
How can we get around this?
So it is confirmed! help!
Come on people, now I'm pretty sure this is not related to
my locale (hebrew support) and is a global problem with the XDA II.
I can't believe someone else haven't checked it yet?
It is annoying to look something up on the net only to miss a call...
Some other people, please confirm this?
load a big www page in PIE and dial your own number.
Re: So it is confirmed! help!
Ummm....
Try doing this with a P900, Nokia 6600 etc...
I think you'll find this is a 'feature' of GPRS - when GPRS is actively transferring data, the phone bit doesn't work and calls go straight to vmail.
The dual bit - voice calls + downloads - is called 3G
Strange,
when i sync my email with active sync over GPRS the incoming call goes thrue but if i download a page with IE the call gets directly to the voice mail
any ideas??
regards,
Yann
My understanding is that there is nothing you can do. If GPRS is dl'ing, most calls will go to vm.
Should not matter which phone you have.
i'm pretty sure i have seen this confirmed in the documentation for my XDAII that whilst actively browsing using GPRS you cannot receive an incoming call as its downloading data, whether it just be page data or a file download. To recieve an incoming call GPRS can be connected but not active.

it happened to me when i click on save password everything i enable gprs.
to deal with it u need to either uncheck the save password or delete your previous setting and add a new one. now this time DO NOT check on save password when connecting to gprs.
hope it helps.
Hi All,
Hopefully someone may help with my query.
I have the HTC Wizard running on O2 UK latest ROM, the cell is unlocked and running another providers card.
The email is configured to check for new POP3 messages every 60mins when I am away from the PC.
The problem is that when it connects the GPRS and checks for messages the GPRS stays connected.
Other cell phones I have used will connect and autodisconnect after checking.
Maybe the GPRS is connected but not sending/receiving data during the idle period?
Can anybody shed some light on this?
Cheers all.
True- This also happens after you send/receive an MMS!
Any way to auto disconnect would be good.
GPRS
After more research I find it doesn't matter if the GPRS is active, as long as it is not sending or receiving data no charges will apply.
Still worrying though and will need to check bill!
thats is a big problem, the baterry life go away....
there no 3ยบ program to do this? no one knows?
disconnect script
Maybe something like this ,modify the script to check and disconnect the GPRS say 5mins after checking your email.
chalky.
Solution
after the send/receive of mail or mms, if you hold the end call button the GPRS will disconnect.
Hey there,
my last two HTC devices used to be able to switch from an "internet" data connection to a "WAP" connection automatically - e.g. when an MMS came in. The device would terminate the GPRS Internet connection and establish a WAP session to download the MMS.
Now using an LG KS20, I have to disconnect internet connection manually.
Why?
And how does HTC do it? Any way of getting automatic switching on the LG?
Many thanks,
N.
What kind of phone do you have? I have issues receiving MMS on just about every ROM I've used on my Tilt. Usually, a reboot will make it work, but I never thought about killing the 3G connection.
The message I get is simply "Forbidden". Do you think it's related?

Dunno about the error message you get - but probably your Tilt uses different data connections for MMS (WAP) and everything else (3G Internet). Try terminating the 3G internet connection and see if the device starts a different type of connection to receive MMS.
Yeah... just figured that out. I had been soft-resetting the phone. Killing and restarting the network connection seems to do the trick.
Now, this begs question... why in the hell does a modern day WM6 phone still have this issue?
I have a very annoying issue with my Touch HD. It takes ages to receive a picture message and once it has received the message the data session then stays connected. Is there a fix for this?
I did a search but couldn't find any info on this.
Thanks
Andy
while i'm on my home wifi, i have to use the edge data connection to send/receive mms messages, and the session stays connected, and for some reason it kills the next mms. i have to manually disconnect in the comm manager after each send/receive for the next one to work...
ive been a lurker here and have been searching for a solution all over the place but nothing seems to be working.
i can receive messages fine but sending i cant! this was never a problem with my eten x650...i didnt even touch the settings on my eten and it worked flawlessly
if going to settings > personal tab > phone > click on services tab > click on voice mail and text messages it always brings me an error "cannot read settings from the network. try viewing settings later, or disconnect data connection and try again.
i have tried viewing it later, my data connection is always off since i dont have a data plan.
any tips or help? thanks!
looks like my settings via the sms program and they are:
server name: at&t mms
gateway: wireless.cingular.com
port number: 80
server address: http://mmsc.cingular.com
connect via: at&t isp
send limit:300K
wap version:wap2.0
I had a similar problem It may help if you go to settings connections and clickconnection setup again it worked for me and maybe worth a try before Hard reset etc
Hope it works for you
nope that doesnt work. tried that on multiple accounts.
i had hard resetted for the HTC rom update but still same problem
Ring up your service provide they can help you with the setup and do some test to determin were the fault lays there end or th phone.
Also you may need to check settings/ connections/ advanced network/SMS tab there are some options.
i havent called my service provider but i just think it weird that my previous winmo phone worked fine without even touching the settings. i just popped in the sim.
everything in that sms menu is correct....its "GSM preferred" as people have suggested to me. tried them all and tried to send sms with each setting to no avail.
My sister's phone just started today displaying the EXACT same behavior as b-16707, except her phone is a treo flashed for metro. My wife also has a treo on metro but not experiencing issues at all. My sister has WM5 and my wife's Palm.
just called ATT today and they couldnt help me at all and told me to hard reset. thing is ive hard resetted before and it hasnt worked for me. what is wrong????????? gahhhhh
probably is definitely with the phone as i get the cant send messages error the split second after i hit the send button
