Tmobile GPRS with XDAII

I have gotten a XDAII and have it setup and working, however the gprs only connects when needed and won't stay permantley on. Has anyone else found this to be true, or is there a way to make it stay connected?

you have an o2 XDA II or an Imate or a MDA II?

I dont have any other known answer to that to fix it but there's a program on PocketGear.com called GPRS Keep Alive. $2.45 to buy it and there's a trial too so give it a try.
Her's the link incase you want it:
http://pocketgear.com/software_detail.asp?id=12673
But if you guys have alternate fix let us know, pls.

Here's a solution I've done to my XDA II with T-Mobile GPRS problem. I don't know who came up with this solution, but thanks to my friend who suggested this at PDAMobiz.com.
1. After a hardreset and completing the initial screen alignment, interrupt the auto-installation process by softreset your XDA II (you have 3 seconds before the files in Extended_ROM will automatically install).
2. Make your Extended_ROM viewable, whether by using the Extended ROM Viewer from http://www.ppcw.net or Extended ROM Switcher (sorry I forgot the link).
3. Now, install each cab files, except TMD_AP_NL.sa.CAB. In fact, I also disregarded, Caller ID, and some other TMD stuff.
As a result, the GPRS is now always-on as it should be.
Cheers,

o2 Exec Settings

Hi all,
i just took my O2 Exec and i have some basic questions that seek for an answer quickly...
I cannot understand whether there is a simlock there or no... i put in there my sim card (Voda UK) and some strange things happen. i sometimes get a UMTS vodafone uk signal and other times a gprs one... Like every five minuits the G turns in to a U and so on.... What do i need to do???is there a simlock and if so how do i unlock?
How do i hard reset my phone and what ROM should i use?
Were can i get the Voda UK settings for mms and gprs?
Is there anything else that i should set in order to have a fully functioning mobile for sms, mms, voice calls?
and a not important one... shouldnt there be the skype software in my phone?
I know that i should search and find what i want but i am in the the midle of an assignment and i do not have the time to do so... Just need to have my phone functioning properly until i have the time to dig out the rest of the things that i want.So just forgive me for asking insted of searching.Wont happen again.
HELP ME
Excuse my bad english...
Thanx all

i put in there my SIM card (Voda UK) and some strange things happen. i sometimes get a UMTS vodafone uk signal and other times a gprs one... Like every five minuits the G turns in to a U and so on.... What do i need to do???is there a SIMlock and if so how do i unlock?
It is just moving between UMTS and GPRS. Mine does it too. If it can't get a good enough signal on UMTS it switches to GPRS. If it sees a better UMTS signal, it switches back.
How do i hard reset my phone and what ROM should i use?
Two soft buttons while pressing stulus reset hole. Nothing wrong with the O2 ROM so stick with that.
Were can i get the Voda UK settings for mms and gprs?
http://www.filesaveas.com/gprs.html
Is there anything else that i should set in order to have a fully functioning mobile for sms, mms, voice calls?
See above
and a not important one... shouldnt there be the skype software in my phone?
Only the JASJAR and MDAPro come with Skype IIRC.

Thank you for the extremely fast and accurate reply.
So there is no problem with the U and G thing. Ok then i will just get used to it. It was that i have never seen the U before.

U means 3G and fast data speeds.

it seems that i cannot manage to do the right settings so that my sms,mmsa dn gprs works. I found the settings but...no combination worked.
Anyway, is there a how to or something that i can check out?
Any other ideas?
Many thanx

You can install Skype yourself from the Skype website, but IMHO it's not ready yet. It's very slow and buggy, and the connection quality is questionable.
Wait a month or two until Skype is fully compatible with WM5 and the experience will be much better!

I am getting really confused here......
I managed to fix my gprs 3g settings (following a wm 2003 quide and using the settings from filesaveas) and i can surf the net but i still cannot receive and send any mms.
Any ideas????
HELP!!!
edit: Also is there anybody that has active sync 4.1? i cannot even syncronise my contacts.!

GPRS CONNECTION

Hello everybody.
I have a Qtek S110 and my question has to be with GPRS connection or let say disconnection..
I don´t know how I have to do to stop the GPRS connection. The only way I have found is activating the fly mode, then disactivating it (plus enter pin code, plus...).
Does anybody know the right (and quick) way to do it?
Thanks a lot !! (sure that it´s a very simple question, but after 1 month using it, this is my most important doubt).

simply press and hold the disconnect button for 2 or 3 seconds and that should solve your problem.

Thanks for the reply but this doesn´t do anything.
Any other idea??

I never used the small program by Ampda, but maybe will try it out if and when I need to do a hard reset. I use a small program called GB-Soft Tweak.
check out this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=33305.

the trick of holding the disconenct button for 3-5 seconds works, but only from the today screen. and obviously, if there is any program running in the background that uses GPRS (like the blackberry connect i use on my t-mobile uk compact) it will just start up again.

Problem with internet connection

Hi i don't succeed to connect anymore because after the attemps of hookup the line it send this error message : The modem for the answer is disconnected. Please help me
I would not like to have to proceed with an hard reset to avoid to lose all the formulations. Thanks

Nobody can help me ? Thanks

Well i dont know if this helps, but i had the same problem. Connection to the internet didnt worked probably and the modem arent available.
So i called O2 and asked if the service may be down but it wasnt their fault. I had top hard reset my device and it worked after that again. Yes i loosed all my software etc. but the modem vent back. So i didnt need to send it in for repairing. After I changed my ROM to iMate i never had this issue again (previous ROM O2 Shipping...).
I only can recommend to backup all what you need and do the hard reset, it will help.
Sorry for no better solution, but i guess you want your GPRS/UMTS/G3 Modem back to work :lol:
Greetings,
Falk

Hi and thank you for your reply. I've just done an HR but the modem still not work. Please help me. Thanks

Could you please post the "Entire" error message your connection buble produces to verify your issue? Meaning ... try to connect to your isp and then if it fails the buble shows a error message at top of your device.
Thanks.

Yes it try to connect at my isp and then it disconnect and at top of the device : Impossible to connect : The modem for the answer is disconnected !!! Thanks

I suppose you are trying to connect with a clean device (after hardware reset). For me it sounds that your modem is not proberly installed and the software having trouble to bind the modem. If you are using the original ROM i would suggest to change the device with your ISP, depending how old it is. If you dont get the device changed, try another ROM (iMate i suggest for you). More help i cant provide because my problem vent away after the hardware reset. :?

Please tell us the ROM, the operator you're using, and the APN.
This happens usually for a mis-configuration problem... and for Italians using TIM it happens when you config MMS after a successful internet configuration.
The MMS provider becomes the default internet provider and the APN are difefrent
Look at the message"connecting to ........." ? what?

*sergiopi: it would be good if you guys compare the settings to reduce any misconfigurations as long you both have the same provider. Maybe a good Idea would be to post your settings in here, so deika95 could compare it to his settings, no :?: :idea:

Hi Sergiopi, no i think that is an operator problem but it's strange because until yesterday it has worked. My operator is TRE and the apn is tre.it I try to connect directly from the formulations of connection. But the strange thing it's that with other operators it works fine !!!!

sounds like a misconfiguration problem, no need to exchange your device for that, just configure the right settings for your operator.

Also I think so but the strange thing is that until yesterday it has work fine !!

I agree but there is something much better: I-Mate develop a multi-operator self configuration .cab only for Italy. Just install it, drop the sim in the socket, turn it on and....
Works only with I-mate IMEI's
Other are quite easy to config
As an example: with TIM just insert ibox.tin.it as APN in My ISP configuration and select GPRS UMTS as carrier...

Be carefull, I said I-mate IMEI and NOT I-Mate ROM...

However I don't want to change rom to avoid to lose the guarantee. To this point I believe that i have to bring it in assistance. However it's very strange that with TIM and WIND it works while with TRE it doesn't go. I have also asked if the parameters of connection were changed but they have told me that the apn is always tre.it

If you send to the service center and you say: "It works with TIM and WIND and isn't working with TRE..." :shock: this will be the first face and the second will be :lol:
Be sure: if works with TIM and WIND ISN'T a TyTN technical problem!

GPRS Setting with FIDO

I'm using Cingular 8525 (unlocked) in Canada with Fido sim, where can i change the GPRS setting on the phone? i don't see any place that can change it? thanks in advance!

look what I found when I googled Fido "GPRS Settings"
http://www.dslreports.com/faq/7418
In any case, Ross Barkman's page is the best for finding your telco settings.
http://www.taniwha.org.uk/gprs.html
To change your settings you have 3 options (I've included details instructions so follow them carefully):
Option 1.
1. Go the box the phone came in
2. Pull out the little book that says user manual
3. Open the book up
4. Read it.
Option 2.
1. Scroll to the top of this page
2. Click on XDA-Wiki
3. Go the Hermes Section
4. Read it.
5. Read it again, so you understand everything not just the GPRS problem.
Option 3 (and I'm gonna hear about this from pof).
1. Click Start
2. Click Settings
3. Click Con... Argh, I can't sorry man... you're gonna have to pick 1 or 2.
Forgive me pof, I started feeling sorry for the newbie. I promise I won't do it again!

thanks! i already know what the setting is, but i'm just wondering that will Cingular allow me to change the GPRS settings?

If the phone is unlocked, there is nothing stopping you from changing anything on the phone. For all purposes Cingular is just a name written on your phone, Cingular the company has nothing to do with you anymore unless you have a cingular SIM in your phone.

Thanks for replied, the problme is, the Cingular stock rom doesn't have any icon that let me to change the GPRS setting! there should be a "Network Wizard" on Setting-->Connection , but there is non! when i click on GPRS setting, it only allowing me choose either "PAP authentication" or "CHAP authentication" . i have been playing the GPRS setting for a long time, but didn't get anyting, so should i flash to other rom? thanks in advance!

We are having the same problem
I have an 8125 running with a Movistar Mexico SIM and last Sunday I got its replacement: an 8525, I spent most of the Sunday (and the several days before) reading threads and doing all procedures to unlock it until I succeeded, so now I have an 8525 unlocked supre CID and all that ... "running" with the same SIM and same GPRS set up but I haven´t been able to navigate internet on GPRS (stalls in the "opening" status), I installed spb GPRS Monitor and the traffic is zero Kb on all tries that I´ve made to connect to the internet. I set also my Gmail account which is set up to retreive amails every 15min and although generates GPRS traffic the behavior is totally different as in my 8125. About MS Messenger and Hotmail the GPRS connection hasn´t been imposible. I´m a newbie I know it!! But you expert guys should help us at least with comments, I agree that some people make repeated questions because they don´t want to read, this is not our case, I´ve read a lot and I´m sure eeric di´d it too. PLEASE HELP....

Use this as a guide to putting in GPRS and MMS settings.

Substitute the settings for your network.

Thank you Bny! I do know how to make it and also set the proper strings in my case APN would be internet.movistar.mx and the user name & paswrord is movistar. That´s not really the problem, in fact I do know that I have a connection to my network, the problem is that something happen 8525 than doesn´t allow me to route my connections thru other routes but the one that Cingular has a preset. I really don´t know if is it the Ext ROM, my SIM card (not a 3G card) or the network itself since is not a 3G network !!!?

have any of you guys considered doing a hard reset and then soft reset before the 3 second customization? that way none of the cingular stuff gets installed?!?

I suppose there could be a number of reasons for this. But here is a consideration from my experience albeit on a different network. I entered all the details for my O2 connection as published on several different internet sites. Initially I could not get beyond "connecting" but found a minor error in what I had entered. Now I got as far as "Opening" but never actually open a site. I gave up but happened across a website that suggested that if you get that far i.e. "to opening" then perhaps the only fault would be the port number in proxy settings for HTTP. I checked and it was correctly set to "80". I did searches on the internet and found one that suggested port "8080" and it worked straight away. I only suggest that you check the port number and whether there are alternatives if you are getting as far as "opening".

Do you have Start>setings>connections>connections
Note two "connections" and if you do you get a page titled connections and Two headings 1. My ISP and 2. My Work Network

Thanks Mike and shogunmark! I´ll try the trick to avoid the customisation from Cingular; as far the port setting that´s a good point, however my screen for connection settings only shows 2 tabs: 1)Tasks and 2) Advanced, the 3rd tab (Proxy) that is present in my 8125 is missing in my 8525. Any ideas to make it appear or change the port? Thanks again you guys!

I did it, but it did not work.....
I just tried but it didn´t work either.... let´s see what´s next. Thank You!

I did what shogunmark suggested and it didn´t work either, I´m wondering waht would be the correct proxy server configuration, besides the port number I really don´t know the type of connection (http, wap, sec wap or scocks 4/5), neither the server name

I made the connection
I allways had the right "parameters" to set a proper connection, but I realized that the connection speed is extremely slow (5 Kbps at the most). I open another thread related to the use of a G3 device with a non G3 SIM / network. Thank you all for your help.
