Is anyone else having any trouble with TMobile's GPRS? I haven't been able to get a GPRS connection since December 1st. I have had a open ticket with TMobile since the 4th. My connection tries and tries and tries but eventually comes back and says that the answering modem has disconnected. Not getting any help from Customer Service or the Wireless Data Group. 3rd Level Wireless Data Group has supposedly escalated this ticket to their Network Engineers but that was on Friday and I haven't heard from anyone since then. I've been through the standard check your connection settings and such several times and even did a hard reset on Saturday thinking that maybe something in my OS was screwy. Any suggestions or ideas?
I have the same problem. I can get connected to WAP.VOICESTREAM.COM, but that does me no good, can't visit webpages or utilize IM/POP services.
wap.voicestream.com working perfectly here..
unlimited, free gprs is the way to go.
make sure wap browsing is activated on your account.

Yes have tried both of those and still get error that remote modem has disconnected.
I'm getting this too, I'm a T-Mobile UK customer... I was on the train yesterday, and using MSN Messenger at the time, and got disconnected from GPRS... Now I get the same "the answering modem has disconnected" message... I use AP general.t-mobile.uk... Anyone got any ideas?

My radio must have been messed up as I ordered another phone and it fixed my problem.
sometimes, when this happens, you can fix it by powering down the radio (which does more that just a reset or a radio off/on). To do this, simply open the SIM door and close it again. Note: this also soft resets the PDA part but there's no data-loss since its 'soft' on the pda-side.

Thanks, I'll give this a try
I think it may be something to do with the ROM/Radio stack version... just need to find a "good" version that works well on T-Mobile UK :twisted:
Yeah it was my radio that was the problem. I tried the sim open door thing to no avail. I finally got tmobile to send me a replacement and that fixed the problem.

Actually, I doubt it was your radio... I was having similar problems in the similar timeframe with BOTH my XDA and my Sony, which I use as a wireless modem. Started asking around to other non-XDA T-Mo users if they were having data problems, and we all seemed to be having the same problem... Very spotty network performance on both wap.*** and internet2.***. Either no connection, or 2kbps throughput max. I also traveled to other cities (incl. Chicago) during this time and head the same trouble everywhere. At 2kbps, most web sites and mail servers timeout before a complete send, so both my devices were virtually useless.
I too contacted T-mo, ended up with a tier-3 trouble ticket with an estimated call back of TWO WEEKS. Still haven't heard back, but it's back to normal (+/- 40kbps) on both devices. The tier-2 guys denied there was any NW problems, but the truth was obvious to me and others.
Still some trouble spots throughout the day, but they never seem to last more than a few minutes. The date range I had the problems corresponded almost perfectly with your dates, hence my doubt that it was the radio.
I too was having problems with GPRS and wap with T-Mobile the last few days.
Well the only solution I was able to achieve was somewhat drastic but not too bad.
I got SMS, GPRS, WAP, and CSD dial up working again by using Pocket Backup.
1st - I made a full back up of everything
2nd - I did a full hard reset
3rd - with a "virgin" machine - I was finally able to to SMS & connect GPRS & CSD
4th - I then partially restored my box - by omitting MMS, Inbox, Connections, temp files, and other non-essential network items
5th - I then reloaded my email settings
As of last night and all day today - this has been fully successful.
I attribute the loss of SMS, GPRS, WAP, and CSD to some software I loaded that may have hosed it all up. The restore process fixed it so I am now happy again!
FYI

I have the Same Problem, but I Fixed with a SoftReset.
¡¡Salud!!-2
Try using....
Try using the Radio upgrade from 4.01.00. It works a lot better for me. I was needing t-mobile's advanced wireless data group to reset my internet connection every time i tried to log on a second time. I'm using PPC 2002 and that radio upgrade, and i couldn't be happier with my phone!
Ive just noticed that whenever i am in a call i loose internet connection, even on the phone itself. I first noticed a few weeks ago that it happend when tethered to my pc, but today i tried to go on the internet on the phone itself while in a call, no go doesnt work.
Ive also noticed that when i recieve an mms that if im connected to the internet it tells me that to recieve an mms it has to close the current connection.
whats the deal? on my last phone (g1) i never had this problem, connected to the internet 24/7 and would be able to access the net while in call and recieve/send mms withouth having to close internet.
Ive tried several roms, happens with the stock radio aswell. Im running a us radio at the moment with 576mb ram patch
Network limitations. You have to have a 3G connection. That's why AT&T, in those ads, tout that you can surf the web and talk on the phone at the same time when compared to Verizon. If you do have a 3G connection, though, then that's a good question.
Im on the same network as when i had the tmobile g1, same price plan. Right now my phone says im connected to hsdpa but if i get a phone call, ill not be able to use the internet while in call.,
strange.
I want to change back to a UK radio, trouble is, i run linux and dont have access to a windows machine that i can setup activesync on.
it depends on the chef that makes the rom... i had somthg similar with previous versions of OzROMs... now that is solved... just tell that to the chef that made your rom...
if on 3G you should have phone and date in the same time... on edge/gprs.. not....

you dont need a pc to change radio, you can flash it from sd just as you would flash a cooked rom. Rename the Radio to LEOIMG.nbh and place it on the root folder of your sd. Then you reboot your phone and keep the volume down button pressed to enter the bootloader which will see the rom and ask if it shall begin flash. here you press the power button and it gets flashed. Now that wasnt so hard now was it?
thanks ill flash back the a uk radio and see if that helsp. the only reply i got in the energy rom thread was saying that its standard wiith the hd2
flashed 20.10.50.08_2 radio and im now able to access internet while in a call

Does anyone know of an app that would help me find out what application/process is causing my 3G connection to turn on randomly...... a lot?
I've gone through all the options i can, to stop any program that runs updates (Twitter, Facebook, Stocks, ActiveSync, Internet time etc) but the connection STILL randomly connects >.<
Any help appreciated!

Thank you for asking that.
Finally someone else who find that's completely "censored".
I give you official answers from my phone provider:
It's normal. To avoid receiving a big bill, you should buy a pack data download, so if it randomly connects, you are safe. Other users reporting the same and its normal and the data pack is perfect solution- No comments
I give you answer from HTC support:
Go into settings/submenu/megasubmenu... whatever, and check "phone usage" n(which only tells the calls usage by the way, not the data)- no comments
I give you answer from forums users:
Yes either try this wonderful application: x,y,z to know the usage : (its paying ones).
Or completely mess the configuration to connect to internet via your HTC HD2 "quietly brilliant" device (very quietly)...
Ok you understand, you're more or less screwed and have to accept that complete scam.
And apparently we are 2 in the world now, to find that's an essential feature, missing (another one).
Ho and to actually diagnose which one is using gprs... Hm we can't even control to say "NO never activate DATA", because the button automatically turns on (quietly stupid).
This cab allows you to disable all data connections...enjoy
My phone was starting data connections all the time when I first flashed a cooked ROM and had it set up with the SFR Always On data connection... On my stock SFR ROM it was called Full Internet but it used exactly the same settings but I didn't have the problem so I just tried changing the name from Always One back to Full Internet and it worked strangely enough... I don't know if that can help but it might be worth a shot .
Hey guys,
I have been successfully running my HTC Dream with Cyanogen mod 6.1 for a few months now and I love the fact that I can run 2.2.1 on this phone. Few problems I have encountered:
1) Name display not being supported even though in phone plan. (I know I have it because of my blackberry spare which was lying around).
2) Battery life SUCKS on this phone and dies in less than 8 hours sometimes after some phone calls and text messaging. Is there a lighter rom using the same kernel on the phone along with radio? I need more battery life on this phone.
3) Android market doesnt seem to work for me. I tried using wifi, someone elses sim card who has data on their plan, it just doesn't seem to connect to google servers to create and account. Anyone know why? Driving me nuts as I would like to explore the market a bit.

Not sure what you mean by 1) above
2) You can turn off 3G, GPS, and WiFi on the G1 and that will help a bit with battery. Then just turn those on when you want them.
3) Do you have an account in Settings - Accounts & sync settings? I believe you need an active Google account signed in to have the Android Market work.
Also, once you do some research, you can look into installing Ginger Yoshi on the G1 to get Android 2.3.4. It works pretty good.

1) I get a call, no name displayed just the phone number. No idea why.
2) Did all that hence why i am asking if there is a rom out there that uses less resourses while giving me access to at least 2.2
3)It leads me to set up account but it won't connect to google servers properly. I have also tried someone elses sim and that didn't work.
try moving to another rom, one option...
the call thing...did you import your contacts from sim/sd card after flashing new rom/radio or anything???
battery...only one option...get a new extension battery...u get 2300/2450/1700/2850 mAh's which would behave better than the original battery!!!

Do you have those numbers associated in your contact with the related names? If not then it will only show up as numbers.

Most if not all of the current ROM has at least 2.3.4. Some might even have 3.x if the DEV updated them.

Do you have the data plan or are you using wifi?
If you have a data plan, did you have the 3G, EDGE, etc... icon show that you have data connection?
If no data plan and you connect via wifi, did you turn on the Wifi Connection and connected to a wifi network?
Sorry of these type of question, I do not mean to be rude. Just an observation that those thing might cause the problem.

yep, True,
Hey everyone,
After installing Android (THIS VERSION), I can't use data connection. I can use wifi, and that works perfect, I just can't utilize the data network. I set my APN correctly manually (checked it a thousand times). I can see the "G", "H", "3G" etc signs next to my signal-bar, so it looks like the phone DOES pick up that data connection can be used here. It just keeps giving me the same error saying there's a network failure. I'm quite new to all of this, so I may have forgotten to do something that would be considered standard by everyone here. Do I perhaps need to set my internet settings in the WinMo first?
Any input would be greatly appreciated.

its hard to say what the problem is since u double checked the apn settings
sometimes the culprit is the kernel....but if others running the rom have no problems.....
you might have more luck posting this question in thread of the Rom u flashed.

Try going into Recovery, go to Advanced and Fix Permissions and reboot, see if that works

He's on an SD ROM and is therefore unable to do this. At least, the ROM is SD and he mentions the settings in WinMo.
