my internet connection keeps hanging. tytn on orange uk

hey,
i have a tytn that doesn't have any orange customisation (for the first time i almost wish it did!).
for some reason my umts/gprs connection seems to hang. it looks like it's still connected but it isn't. sometimes it's just a case of resetting the connection in comm manager and at it's work i have to soft reset!
anyone else suffer this? if so, how did you fix it?
cheers

I'd say everyone suffers from it. The reason it's not reported/discussed/solved is because most people don't require constant data connectivity and therefore never discover the problem.
I just posted about this problem yesterday:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=297002
So far it seems to be a problem related to WM itself since it affects different devices.

thanks for the response, but maybe I should make myself clearer.
i've had an spv m500 and m600 and never experienced this.
when I say it hang I don't mean after a significant amount of time. this happens about every 10 minutes! as you can imagine this is incredibly frustrating!

Does it do this if you select gsm only rather than auto?

may be a silly question, but how do I change it?

Start>Settings>Personal>Phone Icon>Band Tab and here you can choose GSM and certain bands only instead of auto.

if you find this does help, then you might want to look at
http://commmgrpro.com/_wsn/page3.html
which is a little app which will switch from band to band from your today screen.

thanks marisa! a neat little app!
anyway, it seems to not hang on gsm. is 3G unstable? or is it my device?

Lots and lots of people seem to have one kind of problem or another with 3G.
I personally think that these devices have problems with switching from one to the other as signals become stronger & weaker, and that's when connections get dropped etc.
I discovered this when trying to use MSN messenger to give me a kind of push email on hotmail. It worked, but only while logged in to messenger, and when the connection dropped, so did the log in!
So, now I'm always connected by gsm, and when I really want to download something quickly etc etc, I switch over to 3g and then back again.
A bit tedious, but at least I know that when I think I'm connected I am!

good answer! it's kinda what i'm thinking now! hell, if the thing is in my pocket should I really care that the d/l speed is whack! like you said I think in future i'll gsm when my device is not in my hands and 3G when i'm browsing!
thanks a lot for the heads up on that app and your advice!

No probs, I've solved most of my issues through this forum, now on the Hermes, and before on the XDA IIi. You'll find it does wonders for your battery life too!

Increasing Internet Speed! Will these hacks work?

So I’m running the newest radio with DCD’s ROM from his 3.0 kitchen. Everything is running great. I love the great rev A and the stable radio. I started poking around over at ppcgeeks and I’ve run across a few tips and hacks to help my internet speeds be all they can be. Some, like changing your DNS really helped. Others though, I was a little hesitant to try out until I learned a little bit more about them. Instead of resurrecting some zombie threads, I decided to start a new one with links to the hacks in question. I would really appreciate any factual answers and comments on these. Thanks.
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=1233
OK, this one is a little old, and the reasoning behind it seems to be on the mark, but I have a mogul and don’t have much memory to play around with. Anyone out there using this hack on there mogul? What do you have it set to? How much faster would this hack increase my speed if I tether using WMWifiRouter? And if you want, care to go into detail why this works?
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=18435
This one I have my doubts about (increasing the TimerWheelSize). Don’t get me wrong, if someone could explain to me why this would work, I’m all for it, but it seemed everyone did this hack with the DNS hack and was attributing the increase of speed to TimerWheelSize. Once more, anyone willing to explain the details of this hack and if it will increase my speed if I tether using WMWifiRouter?

No one??
Well, i guess i'll try these out when i get home. i'll run some speed tests and post the results.

Not sure WIFIRouter is necessary
I was able to use PAN to connect from my laptop to my Mogul, and get connection speeds over 1100 kb/s. I'm not sure what other benefit would be realized with a WIFI router setup...unless I'm misunderstaning what it's being used for.

Internet Issues

After flashing ookba's 6.5 onto my Dash 3G, I can no longer connect to the internet. Previously had 3G working on the stock WM6.1. Are there any workarounds for this? Tried searching and couldn't come up with anything. There were a lot of posts from other people complaining about lack of internet after the flashing, but no solid answers that I could find. Thanks in advance to anyone that helps me out.
edit: to expand upon this, it seems like it worked for a moment when this first started, because the AccuWeather accurately located me and downloaded a weather report, but now even that is reading "No Internet?!" and I can't fix it. I'm asking about the 3G Internet, because WiFi works fine, but I want to be using the 3G so I can get it anywhere.

have u ran the connection wizard?

HD2 HSDPA/WiFi speedtest slow

My ADSL connection can do 13Mb download & 1Mb upload, all computers achieve (also on wireless) this using either speedtest.bbmax.co.uk or speedtest.net. However my HD2 can only achieve 3.5-4Mb max using the same sites, upload is represented correctly. It seems to fly up very quickly then back down, for upload it takes a few seconds to check the speed for both sites. I used Opera 10 (Flash Lite 3).
Also on HSDPA it can only do ~0.5Mb but when tested in dongle it achieves ~2.5Mb, upload is represented correctly (1Mb) for both Vodafone and O2.
I've also tried the wireless N hack but this hasn't improved things.

There is no solution. HD2 performance on WI-FI are just bad. People don't care. The only justification they can give to this is "it's just a phone". Amen.

That sucks, my mates Omnia is also pretty bad on WiFi so I assume this is a WinMo problem?
Also I meant just O2 for 0.5/2.5 HSDPA thing, just checked Vodafone and got 3.5Mb / 1Mb.
Also doesn't the "it's just a phone" thing kinda wear off when you cross the £500 mark?

I don't know. Maybe it's WinMo but I don't have other Windows Phones to make comparisons.

I agree but these are the people that appear here when you criticize their toy.

Maybe enabling wifi-n will speed it up. I'd at least give that a try.
Also, I did a test, and I get exactly what I get on my laptop which is 5644kbps

I have been having issues with HSDPA on my HD2 for some time. I am with T-mobile UK... what I have found is that when I hard boot/reflash a new rom... HSDPA is full speed. However something triggers what I can only think is a GPRS only mode, at first I thought I had installed apps that affected networking but I don't believe that is the case now.
Yesterday for example I was in a shielded building and had no reception whatsoever... when I came out I could not connect to T-Mobile data so restarted my HD2 a few times then setup data again.... I am connected now but internet connectivity is really slow, I generally stream music but I can't do this and I may as well forget about YouTube.
I have spoken to T-Mobile about this in the past and they said there are no restrictions on my account. I also know (havng proved it before) that by going through the hassle of a hard reset/new rom flash HSDPA with work again.
I wonder if this is IP related but I am not sure how to check the configuration on Winmo. I also am unsure how/where to do a speedtest (Speedtest.net needs an updated version of flash).

Managed to get it sorted out.... sent the Tmobile settings from the Tmobile website to my phone. Then in my ROM (OMEGA) there is a enable 3G mode.... This seems a bit flaky to be honest... Anyway I selected the new Tmobile internet settings option in Connections, then flicked the 3G setting in connection manager on and off a few times...
In the status bar, rather than "G" and a small "G" with reception meter both show as "H" (this will differ to the rom you have probably).... main thing is streaming is back again

Hello Everybody.
I am new with HTC HD2 1week only. The phone working everything OK, but only the WiFi internet it very slow. I did not configuration any from WiFi yet, just Turn on a wifi and enter ke router home network.

I've generally found 3G to be faster than WiFi and even the ping in some situations on WM phones.

my phone also gets around 2 to 3Mbps on the speed test with the wifi.. 700 or so with hspda and 500 or so with 3g.
isnt this the max rate of the memory card? perhaps the phone itself is slowing down the results?

3G speed depends heavily on the mast tech level and how many people are using it.

3G plus wifi?

I am kinda having some crazy stuff going on. First does anyone have a good website to check download speeds? I am using I.dslr.net/tinyspeedtest.HTML.
I pick the 3G test I get about 300-600 Kbps for a download speed. The crazy thing is if I turn on my wifi, but DO NOT CONNECT to a network I get 1600-1800 Kbps. I have tested and retested many times no matter what if I have the wifi turned on I always get a faster speed. I know I am not connected to a network because A. When I do connect to my home wireless I get about 4000 Kbps. B. I have tested this when there are no networks around.
I guess cool if I am really getting those speeds which it looks like I am because even the latency probes are fast, my concern is having the wifi on all the time will eat up my battery even more.
So I would like some feed back on what others are using to do speed tests and also does this happen to anyone else?
I am on joshes fast and stable rom.

Thanks people.....

It is changing your reg settings and allowing for a larger transfer rate.

Ok... So can I change those settings so I can get that speed without the wifi on?
Thanks

I use www.speakeasy.net/speedtest for that...it only works in IE (not opera, haven't tested it in skyfire), but does a great job.

I personally dont know how, i cam across a post saying how to, ill look it up. Recently ive been busy running android on the hd2
