Hello everybody,
i just replaced my old MDA 2 with a MDA COMPACT.
I noticed that close to signal level the GPRS icon (squared G) is always on, while in the MDA 2 it was on for only a few seconds after switching on radio (telephone function) and then disappeaed.
Is this normal? I do not use often GPRS function and i was told GPRS makes battery go down faster...
How can i switch GPRS function off in MDA compact?
Thanks in advance

It just shows that you are in a GPRS capable zone, the icon will change when you actually connect GPRS like when you connect the MDA compact to the computer. You can disconnect from GPRS by holding the hang up button for 3 seconds.

thanks for your quick reply.
I assume then, that the G signal icon was used in a different way by MDA 2 because i never saw it (same provider Voda ita) except when switching on the phone.
I shouldn't been worried then about battery life?
thanks

nah nothing to worry about, its just an indication that you are in a GPRS zone, from memory the XdaIIs shows this icon when you click on the signal strength icon, i think HTC moved it from the signal strength window because the screen on the xda ii mini is not as big and cannot fit as much information as the IIs can.
Hi,
I've just upgraded my O2 Xda II mini to the latest ROM (1.11) and found a problem.
Previously, I could end a GPRS session by tapping on the icon at the top and then clicking on the "Disconnect" button in the dialog bubble.
On the latest ROM, the "Disconnect" button has gone from the dialog bubble. It's simply not there any more.
I called the O2 Helpdesk and they have not had any other reports of this, and simply told me to hold the red "end call" button. While this works, it also backs me out of application I have open and active, which is a nuisance.
Does anyone else have this problem?
Yes you are right my MDA Compact came with the latest rom from factory and I was wondering why there is no disconnect button...? now I can see that it's common problem in 1.11 made by some mistake or something.
I guess they remove it because of the "GPRS connection problem" as I used to have problem on GPRS re-connection (after disconnected), however, after upgrade to 1.11, the problem no longer exist !
Thanks for your responses, Shamus and waiting4u.
I posted a message on the Mtek forum in Australia and one user there has the latest ROM and does not have this problem. Maybe it only happens to upgraded minis as opposed to new ones that came with 1.11?
Would really like this back. O2 support was no help and didn't even know it was a problem.
But this is obvious stupidy always on GPRS connection drains battery as a charm, I omitted the problem by installing SPB Gprs Monitor but disconnect shoud be implemented in system. M$ stupidy is enormous :evil:
PeterW mine MDA came with 1.11 it wasn't upgraded!!!

Hi Shamus,
In that case, it must be a stupid Microsoft oversight. I checked my colleague's Xda mini this morning - he is still running 1.03 ROM, and he does have the disconnect button. Very frustrating. :evil:
this little fine proggy finally makes me happy

Thanks Shamus! Will give it a try.

No problem
Hi
I have the MDA PRO T-Mobile Sim-lock and I use the PDA without usim card.
After 3 or 4 days the MDA have problem and when push power the PDA no switch. After to test to switch the PDA by the hard-reset I switch the Mda but days to days the problem is great. This problem is much frequent.
Much time the screen change color and is blank and after no function and in this situation i make soft-reset.
When I have problem for to switch if put the pda in charge no function it's blocked.
Actually i have configuration original (Ger) and I haven't ExtRom. It's possible that MDA PRO have the problem because sim-locked?
It' the problem of ROM, are the bug?
Thank for help and sorry for my bad english.
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.
Hiya guys,
I recently upgraded to the T-Mobile Vario - was all very impressed (coming from using a MDA Compact previously). One problem though..
Opera mini has trouble with the Caps/Shift key on the keyboard. When I press it, I am unable to go back to non-Capital letters. I am also unable to use backspace
I found that this also affects MobiSMS so I presume that this is a problem with the Midlet Manager itself.....
Is this a common fault...or something wrong with my version of the Midlet Manager? Is there a fix for this?
Works for me ok on my qtek 9100 - maybe just a vario problem?? Maybe other vario owners can help
Guys...I updated the Vario's ROM....it's working fine now
Thanks for the reply mate anyway
