I am having this really funny problem with my wizard. Sometimes when I restart it it does not show the GSM on the splash screen. When it doesn't show I end up having no connection to GPRS. Even the [G] does not show indicating that it is not picking up the GPRS network. What is wrong here? The phone function is working well and I can send and receive text message but I am sooo lost without my GPRS. Please help. Did I deactivate it somewhere??? I have tried the toggle for MoDaCo No Data but it has not helped at all

Hopefully a dumb question. When enabling the GSM radio 'Flight Mode Off' I see a G symbol appear in the top start bar for a second and then vanish.
Can anyone confirm if GPRS is actually being activated and then shutdown? The reason I ask is that my carrier has me on a 'casual' usage rate which means I get charged .22c each time I establish a GPRS connection. This could get a little pricy if it is momentarily opening a GPRS session for some reason.
I also see a G symbol in the Connectivity bubble, beside my carriers name. Does this simply mean that the service is GPRS enabled?
G Icon
I think - but I am not sure - that the icon is an indication that GPRS is available, but not established.

it means that the line ofer grps
and that grps can be started but it's not shown when grps is
running
Thanks for the feedback guys, I really appreciate it.
I need help please.Maybe it is my rom or me being a bloody beginner.Everytime I try to connect to the internet over GPRS it does not work.
When I try to stop data services the "active ring" comes up and thats it...
I waited for 5 minutes and nothing changes. The max I can do is resetting...
While trying to connect I am also unable to place calls, but I can receive them...which is again strange....
Maybe I do get my settings wrong at that is why the whole system get barred? I cant imagine that.
As for my system:
OS 5.1.342 build 15605.3.2.0
It does not tell me anything but maybe it helps finding the problem
I greatful for any help!
Cheers

stop data service not working
stop data service is not working. I will try Radio 1.15. Maybe one of the gurus can help us:
When we connect to the internet over GPRS, it works ok. When we than finish and go to wireless manager and de-select "stop data service" it gets de-activated and activated again. The GPRS connection remains. The only way to disconnect from GPRS is to turn the GSM service OFF and ON.
hello all,
problem 1:
recently my exec has been dropping calls just as they connect. signal seems to jump up and down quite frequently and i'm not receiving some messages from abroad and some messages sent abroad don't make it to the receiver either.
that last issue may be a network issue as it seems to only happen randomly but is getting worse.
would a hard reset help much or is something else wrong here?
any insight would be much appreciated.
problem 2:
i want to disable or remove the voice command application that comes built in the exec (cybertronics?), i don't use it but it locks up the phone on odd occasions.
anyway to remove it without some extensive tinkering.
problem 3:
i remember a friend used to be able to connect his ipaq to his pc then run msn messenger on the ipaq (whilst cradled). is this possible with the exec as it doesn't seem to get a good wifi signal unless i'm right next to the wifi router.
i would have had a 4th problem but i just got AS working finally and jeyo mobile companion to go with it Very Happy
again, any help with any of these problems would be much appreciated.
regards,
haji.
having the same problem with signal. If i was in a location with no signal and i move to a location with good signal, the phone does not seem to detect this change. I have to reset the phone for it to get signal. so disapointed.... just sharing, sorry, ive got no solution.
For problem 3:
If you right click on ActiveSync icon in your system tray (version 4.2 not sure where the option i is on older versions) and choose "Connection Settings..." then there is an option which says:
"This computer is connected to:" and my copy was defaulted to "My work network", changing this to "The Internet" allows me to browse the internet using my computers internet on my XDA Exec.
I think this is what your friend would have been doing.

thanks gquipster! i'll try that out.
raffy, i've switched the phone over from 'auto' to gsm, that seems to have improved signals and i don't lose txts anymore. when set to auto it keeps trying to find the best 3g connection (i think).
if you don't need the 3g connection then try this:
start > settings > phone > band tab > change network type box from 'auto' to 'gsm'
i hope that helps a bit mate.
still got problem 2 to go then, any takers?
Is it possible to setup the 8525 so that it only connects to internet through Wi-Fi and not any of the other options? Based on some threads, it looked like Cingular has disabled this option, but I am not quite sure. Thanks.
The only way I was able to do it was to call Cingular Tech and have them disable the GPRS on their end, now if I go to PIE and the WiFi is off, the GPRS/EDGE Connection pop-up opens, then I get an error message saying the network could not be found and a dismiss icon....
The only way it will connect to IE is through WiFi now.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
if you go to settings then connection and delete the connection settings for gprs it will not connect and you can use wifi only
however i seem to keep getting gprs not connected error if i do so?
I'm having the same problem. I'm totally green to the high tech world. Heck this is my first attempt at anything greater than using my calculator function in a phone So if someone could walk me through what I need to do to set my phone up so I can connet through wifi i would reaaaally appreciate it.
I had Cingular put me on the no data plan (not even pay per use). In case that makes a difference.
Thanks in advance for the help.
All I did was go in to the connection settings and change the User name and Password. I do not get any error messages stating the network cannot be found. I get a login screen with User/Pass and Domain. I just click cancel and it drops back to IE.
Now I do not have to worry about accidentally connecting to their service.
well,we can very much achieve it -- In the internet settings in connections,select both of them to My ISP,edit it to nowap.cingular.com
Make sure setting is set to Internet,not work!
I did it and I use only wifi all the time!!
The previous solutions are not really workable for me since I don't want to delete my cellular data connection, I just want to be able to turn it on and off as I choose. With Windows Live, I can have a Wifi connection and turn off cellular data in the comm manager screen and it will just open the cellular connection again.
A hack to turn off the "auto connect" for the cellular data would be great. Make it like the BT or WIFI, where I have to go to the comm screen and turn it on. That choice would be great.
Anyhow, I am thinking of making the Work connection as the default, then deleting all work connections. Then when I actually want a cellular data connection, I could manually select it and say connect. I'm not sure if the applications will close it and try the work connection again or not. I will try it and post again, probably tomorrow.

This works wonders:

ETA: This is what I have been using to deal with gprs autoconnect on my 8525 and it's perfect for my uses. You just start the program and toggle on or off the data connections.
Gprs Disable
It really works thanks for your research
I have an 6955 with Rogers and every time I try and connect through Edge or Gprs, it says "cannot connect for an unknown reason. etc."
It does wifi fine, gps, etc. I can send txt messages, call people. Everything is great, but GPRS never works. I even see the big "E" saying there's an Edge network.
All my settings are correct. I even went to Rogers and they went through my settings and they're stumped. I even hard reset the phone to see if this would fix it.
Just annoyed cause I got a data plan and I can't even use it.
Anyone see anything like this? Thanks.
try the phone data manager tool thats on the phone to automatically detect your settings, the quickstart cd also has an update tool to upload the settings applet if they have changed, I can't remember where this applet is on the phone since mine is currently out for repairs, but its a blue icon within settings
I tried that, I'm stumped. I even brought it into Rogers and got them to mess with the settings and they couldn't get it working.
The "E" for edge is on, but it can't connect.
Everything else works great, gps, calling, txt, etc.
Stumped
