New O2 Xda II mini ROM - GPRS disconnect button has gone

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.

Yes, it works well and gives me back the Disconnect button. Thanks again.

No problem

Cap/Shift problem with Intent Midlet Manager?

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

O2 Xda Exec use on Cingular network

I've searched this can can't find anything...I was wondering if i could use the Exec on my cingular plan without having to change anything. I'd like to be able to use my existing SIM card with it. Thanks for the help.

Yes, you can , but you need had unlock O2 Exec , I used Cingular in my Exec work fine.

I got the same problem with you, I cant get it work with Cingular service and I cant get any solutions from searching net. I have tried to talk with them, go to their stores and do whatever I can. The result still the same, it really make me headache....I have already paid for 2 months fee in "NO SERVICE" condition and they cannot do anything!

O2 XDA Exec issue with cingular ....
O2 XDA Execs come unlocked from O2. When i received mine when it came first out in early october 2005, i just plugged in my Cingular SIM and there wasn't any problems. Though note that the SIM location is a little iffy at times, you shouldn't have a lot of problems.
You would also need to configure the GPRS settings on the Exec.
BTW, noticing you're from MO, which phone were you using prior to the Exec? it might give me more of an idea of your situation ...I've been using GSM phone for a while and i know that Cingular didn't have a full GSM network until a couple of months ago ... and if you came from AT&T then that's another ballgame as well ... AT&T used a mix of different standards as well ...

I was using MDA II before EXEC. Start from May, I can't get the signal anymore, at first I thought it was my MDA problem, so I changed it to EXEC. But, who knows? The same problem still there. Cingular just blame O2 that the EXEC has problem, and they do nothing.
Are you using EXEC now? How to change the GPRS setting?
In addition, I was Cingular customer about 1.5 year already. This problem happen since May. I really have no idea how to solve it.

unable to connect to uni's wifi

Hi guys,
whenever i try to connect my imate kjam (wizard,Qtek 9100,MDA Vario, O2 XDA Mini S, SPV M3000, Cingular 8125, T-Mobile MDA, Dopod 838, VPA compact II etc) to my university's wlan, my pda tells me that it is unable to resolve ip. Um perhaps it says unable to find ip, im not sure, i'll check again this arvo and return with my answer.
My uni claims that their system is pda compliant which makes me think that one of my connection settings are wrong.
Before you flame away, i have searched many many threads for this thread using keywords such as wifi, wlan, unable, ip etc, but was unable to find any solution that i havent tried already. Do feel free to offer your advice.
I have a g4 cid-locked wizard running wm6, though i have experimented with a few other roms, but they all offer the same problem.
If anybody has any suggestions i hope you feel free to flame away or kick me in the bum in the direction of where i might find a solution to this problem. If im lacking any info in this post then do feel free to remind me and i'll edit it later.
Thanks guys

problem solved.

How did you solve it?
