I am one of those users that is having trouble connecting to GPRS more than once and getting the "unknown reason" problem. Only a soft reset or turn on/off flight mode will fix it. Well I found out what is causing this, at least for my device. I am running Wisbar Advance on mine and is what causing the problem. Once I closed the app, I can connect/disconnect GPRS as I please. I made calls in between also and it still works...
The developer for Wisbar is working on this issue so hopefully he will get this fixed. In the meantime, I have turned off Wisbar..
Hope this is what causing u guys' devices also.
Great info! Just a heads up. I had this problem since I upgraded to the 1.06 ROM however I have never installed Wizbar Advance. The only thing that I could get to fix it was upgrading to the Norwegian 1.11 ROM version or using the 1.10 US Radio stack. Even the Finish 1.11 did not fix the problem.

I have the problem and I'm not using Wisbar. I guess magician_os1.11wwe_bigstorage_6.zip is based on the Finnish ROM?
You can add another application to the list of problem apps (at least this worked for me)
Sygic .mobile contacts seems to mess up GPRS as well.
I've been using the 1.06 WWE rom, and i tried anasky's 1.11 bigstorage rom, and both times, with .mobile contacts installed, i received the "cannot connect for an unknown reason" error, after uninstalling it, GPRS reconnects fine everytime.
Hope this helps some of you.
i changed my sim card to a new one and now i don't get that error. plus i believe that part of that error is the service provider.
hope that helps
I have Qtek 1.11 and same problem too
It is a real pain, I do not have Wisbar, and I can only connect once then need a reset. Any ideas out there?
One cheap solution is to put the phone in flight mode and then go back to reset the GPRS. Not very smooth, but at least better than having to soft reset.

I have tried to turn flight modem on/off but i still get the error
"dialed:isplnk1.swip.net. The answering modem has disconnected. To check your connection settings and change them if needed, tap settings"
Does ne1 know what I can do? so I can use my gprs again. it worked fine just a day ago, and I havent done anythin at all that could cause this problem
I don' t have a magician but a blue angel.
I've got the same problem.
It's the last built of IA Caller ID.
I've make a hard reset with no IA Caller and no problem again.
just double check the settings to make sure that the access point name shows up in the number section of the connection settings, when its not there that can cause the answering modem problems

I have 2 SIM Cards with the same number, one for the QTek 2020, and one for a Motorola mpx200.
If they are both switched on, then my GPRS is disconnected after about 15 minutes, and I can only reconnect by going in and out of flight mode.
If I switch the Motorola off, then I stay connected, and can disconnect
and reconnect properly.

Never had that error message. Only the one hamsup1o was talking about. Is the Norwegian 1.11 Ananskyfied yet? I want to test if the problem is fixed in that one.
For me, I don't think it's any one piece of software. Since I upgraded my Jam last weekend to 1.11, it continually disconnects from GPRS. Soft resets may or may not correct the problem on the first try so a second reset is in order. Trying to turn Flight Mode On/Off is a chore in itself. I may need to tap "Turn Flight Mode On" several times before it finally does it. Even when GPRS is connected it will only last 5 minutes. Then while still connected, going to a different webpage, says that webpage cannot be found. Very freakin' frustrating!! :evil:
So, today at work I backed everything to SD and did a Hard Reset. I then cancelled out of the Operator settings, but allowed the other apps to install and soft reset. I manually added my data settings and connected. Within two minutes I lost my connection. Reset the device and couldn't connect. Reset again and it's fine. It's hit or miss. Restored from backup. Gave a MS Voice Command error so deleted that. Several resets later on the train ride home and it's been fine ever since, for now!
The question is, could this be a T-Mobile problem? I called them yesterday and all they could tell me is that data outages in the Boston area may occur in the evenings due to upgrades. Perhaps it's just a coincidence that I did the ROM upgrade and TMo is acting up. I'm pulling hairs here!!

I have the exact same problem with my Jam on T-Mobile (in Colorado) however it seems to have gotten better with the 1.11 ROM. The strange thing is that it does not ever happen with my 6315 on T-Mobile. I have spoken with their customer services serveral times and we have tried a few different things. The last thing we tried was a brand new SIM card to remove that as a posible problem. Since doing that, I can stay connected to GPRS, take calls and it re-connects with out me doing anything and it seems to have helped.
I have not tried to see if there is any change between wap.voicestream.com or internet2.voicestream.com. Which are you using?
I have the same problem with GPRS and the Cannot connect for an unknown reason. It initially connects fine, but if I disconnect it manually, I cannot reconnect without the soft reset. I started getting this error when I upgraded to 1.11WWE last night. I went back to Version 1.06WWE and the problem was gone so it is defiantely a ROM problem. Imate's Customer "Dis"-Service continues to timeout everytime I go online with them. I am in the process of trying the UK 1.11JAM Rom to see if that makes any difference. I am with T-Mobile USA.
On the Club I-mate forum there are people with this problem as well and one of them is on Cingular!!! So it's not carrier specific.
__________edit
I tried the UK 1.11 ROM and it worked a bit better. There was even a new tab in the GPRS bubble that you could click to disconnect the GPRS rather than holding down the red phone button. But alas, I still got the Cannot Connect for an unknown reason mesage. I'm going back to 1.06 (Thankfully I backed it up) It worked fine. Is anyone having this problem with the Anansky hacked ROM?
Also, why does the UK version come with Skype and the WWE version doesn't?
Could it be due to Activesync?
I too have the GPRS problem, usually it occurs after synchronizing with the PC. The flight mode trick fixes it. I can repeat this behavior and can always fix it, so it remains a nuisance...
Since you can access the internet through Activesync, maybe the OS stays locked in that mode and does not allow for GPRS to be a valid network connection...
Anybody else have similar symptoms?
Mashie, I use internet3.voicestream.com. As you said nothing seems to help.
chinadan, Yes! I had the exact same thing happen to me last night. I've been tinkering with my Jam for the last week trying to get it to work. Last night it was working fine, but then I connected it to my desktop to load PHM Registry and when I disconnected, GPRS started flaking out! Performing a soft reset didn't help.
I've been going back and forth with i-Mate CS, and it's obvious they know there's an issue. They seem to be getting a little testie since I'm basically telling them I'm not an idiot so please get the crap fixed! They had the nerve to send me instructions on how to setup a GPRS Connection on the Jam! :twisted: What nerve!
Anyway, think I'll try loading the worldwide 1.11WWE and see what happens. Anyone have a backup of 1.06 US 850 ROM?
Thanks and cheers!
Well, I went almost 24 hours without a GPRS problem on my JAM yesterday. I didn't get the usual "Cannot connect for an unknown reason" error message. This time I got a message saying that there was a problem with the modem???? I don't know where that one came from... changed my gprs setting to internet2.voicestream.com and it works now....until the next error message.
Screw it. I'm going back to 1.06. The JAM is VERY sluggish now and I can't even get it into flight mode to correct the problem. I guess I'll wait for the patch. (It seemslike we spend most of our time waiting for a patch or an update of some kind. ARGGGHH!)
ALso, I don't know if this was the case with the 1.06 ROM, but I used to have to hold down the red phone button for a few seconds to get the GPRS to disconnect. But with the 1.11UK rom all it takes is for you to click the red phone button and the connection is dropped. Example: If I'm on the Today Screen with GPRS connected, click the red phone button and voila, gprs is disconnected. Is this normal? I don't remember it disconnecting so easily with 1.06.
Also, saw this over on the HoFo: ___________________

Any chance you give us a link to those pics? Pleaseeeeeeee :twisted:
Ok, been tinkering around this evening concerning the GPRS connection issues and this is what I have thus far. First, Club IMate has new Operator Settings on their website. One of their techs was kind enough to e-mail it to me this afternoon and checking their website this evening shows T-Mobile ver1.6. Applied those settings and it seemed to do a better job at installing my VPN settings for internet3.voicestream.com. However, when I checked the Connections screen it listed My Isp with my VPN connection and My Work Network was setup for wap.voicestream.com. Ok, nice but I don't use the wap settings. Connecting through IE to wap.yahoo.com resulted in the TMo Wap connection to launch, but not my VPN connection. So I went back into Connection settings and set both Work and Internet to "My ISP". Upon doing this and selecting any website from IE, it wouldn't connect and give me the error "Make sure you have your modem installed blah, blah, blah". If I then press and held on the "G" and tapped connect, it connected just fine.
So that got me thinking about the Registry again and why in the Connection screen for both Internet and Private network, why there was no option for "The Internet", or "My Secure WAP" so forth and so on. When I had my XDA IIs, those where options. So I loaded PHM Registry to the device and went exploring. The first thing I found and deleted was in: \HKLM\Software\HTC\WModem. I deleted the Preset GPRS key. The next thing I found where all the Interent settings I just mentioned in:
\HKLM\Software\Microsoft\ConnMgr\Destinations\. There is listed "The Interent" (which I tried to create myself in Connections but it said it already existed) and My Secure Wap plus others that I had made. So for starters I deleted "The Internet" key and reset the device.
Went back into Connections and created a new network called The Internet and added my connection to internet3. I then switched it to only look at The Internet network. Launching IE again and trying to go to wap.yahoo.com. Again, I get the "Unable to Connect: Ensure that your modems are presentand inserted correctly, and no network card present".
So obvioulsy, my edits to the Registry made little difference. So again that got me thinking. Why would their be a WAP connection when I selected T-Mobile VPN during the new cab installation? Because it needs it!
I then went back into the Network Management screen under connections and left it set to The Internet for programs that auto connect to the internet and set it to My Work Network for the private network option. Since doing this I've had no issues when any connection while browsing. If I go to a WAP site it automatically connects to T-Mobile WAP connection. If I then decide to go to a full blown HTTP website, it automatically stops the WAP connection and launches the VPN one. There is no delay when it does this, well, maybe a second! :lol:
My thinking is (and, I'm no programmer or Registry master!) that the problem lies in the Registry settings for IE. Perhaps it runs deeper than that but if one of you Guru's could take a look perhaps we can get this ironed out once and for all. Thanks for listening!
OK, someone please give me a hand with this one.
I'm far from a noob with this PPC stuff, and I've played around alot, but this one's got me stumped. If there is a simple fix, I'll go to the nearest brick wall and ...........
OK, I have the 128Meg Jam (US version) and I finally decided to upgrade to the lastest i-mate offerings of their ROM update called...
JAM_USA_11200_188_11210_ship.exe
The upgrade went smooth/perfect without any hitches and or hangs. Whew! So next was the daunting task of installing all my apps, games, emulators, etc...
So before I got in too deep, I did a soft reset, and deleted the ROM installed Skype (installing a newer version later) and deleted the AntiVirus software also.
Soft reset was next.
Then downloaded the latest drivers for my SPECTEC SDW-820 Wi-Fi card, both the Canada version 1.25 and the US version 1.25.3 (same version as the WM 5.0).
NOW... Guess what?!?
Up till this upgrade, my SPECTEC rocked with FAST X-Fer speeds, both up and down! I loved it and used it alot!
Now the damn JAM/SPECTEC combo sees a signal, grabs the signal, and tells me it's "connected", but yet the Wi-Fi icon at the top does the "searching" animation. When I click on the icon at the top, it says...
"No modem at above number. To check your connection settings and change them if neeed, tap Settings".
It's looking for a GPRS signal!
When connected to my PC via ActiveSync, I can use the internet with/without setting up any "Rogers" settings.
I've done soft resets, hard resets, re-installs, etc... EVEN a "hacked" E300 Wi-Fi driver from another chap (ampda) and a Wi-Fi companion, and still the same results... Sees signals, "says" it's connected, but IE, MSN, etc. don't work!!
If ANYONE has a fix for this, or has experienced this, please help me out! I LOVE my JAM, and it's to me the perfect little do-it-all, but I'm soon approaching this "Can Jam's fly" theory!
Talked with Chris and Impact Wireless, and contacting others... Everyone is stumped, but it seems to be the "newest" ROM offering.
Awaiting help,
Rick.
ROM version: 1.12.00 WWE
ROM date: 05/28/05
Radio versoin: 1.12.10
Protocol version: 1337.42
ExtROM version: 1.12.188 WWE
Im getting a similar error with mine atm, im going to be backing up and performing a hard reset in the next day or so...will keep you in formed.
Im currently on 1.06 again (long story) and it has suddenly "stopped working"
I think its a application i have installed that may have caused it.
Imp
OK...
AFAIK, most of the things you have mentioned are a settings problems if I'm not mistaken...
I mean in many cases you can connect your PDA to the internet using Active-Sync but applications like IE or MSN messenger won't work... all you have to do is to go to
Start>Settings>Connection:then Tab connections and manage your connection in order your desired application will get the right settings.. you may also edit the advanced settings as well ( select Networks )
Another thing you can do is to go to
Start>Settings>Connection: Network Cards.. and choose the right card and the right option (work or the internet)
In most cases... if you edit your connections settings, things will work for you... for instance you can delete ( temporarily) the GPRS setting for your JAM, so when you use you WiFi card... it will be the only option....
I know this sound weired, but I have tested it before, I used to do a lot of internet via BT or cable + Active-Sync but after I did a ROM upgrade.. things did not work... all you have to do is to tweak the settings a bit, and I guess you have the same problem, because you say you get connected... so this is just a matter of settings IMHO
Another thing, I think you can try older drivers for your card... it might work
I hope things will work for you
cheers :wink:
Well, I got it working! FINALLY!
Bye.
.................. LOL! Ok, Ok, here's how I fixed it.
I really don't know how!
I went to Wireless Wave in one of our malls here, and the store manager let me take one his new Audiovox PPC6600's up to the food court where I know there is an open HotSpot.
So I installed the latest SPECTEC SDW-820 v1.25.3 drivers, and did a soft reset, popped in the card, launched the W-Lan utility, and would you believe, it worked like a champ, right off the bat! With the settings at stock. I didn't have to change anything to "Work", and it worked perfectly.
So......
I brought it back, and went back for the real test now that I know that my Wi-Fi card is fine. So, same thing, did an installed, soft reset, popped in the card, and again, it worked perfectly!!
So, I'm wondering in all of this, if for some bizarre reason, that the "contacts" might have maybe been dirty?!? I really am not too sure, however, I am taking this moment to thank all that have been patient and helpful with this issue. My JAM doesn't need flying lessons now. LOL
Rick.
P.S. Wi-Fi worked at "The Internet" settings, as well as "Work" settings. It just automatically decides to go to the Wi-Fi card when it's in place. Neat!
P.P.S Can surf the internet using PIE and use MSN on the JAM while activesynced. No Wi-Fi card installed, and GPRS off. Using ActiveSync v3.8
Hi guys,
Inherited a Stealth few weeks back but i realised that the Wireless option (to turn it on and off) doesnt work, nothing happens when i try to turn on my wifi, so i did a hard reset, but after the hard reset, it doesnt even detect or show up my wireless options. Any ideas guys?
What ROM are you using ??? I had a similar problem with my stealth for over 6 months after upgrading ROM....I tried every thing including careful changes in registry ....the problem was only solved after downgrading to the original ROM more than once ....I still get minor problems when WIFI wouldnot load but works after repeated soft reset ....I suggest you try to soft reset few times an see if this solves the problem....best of lucks....
hi man,
Thanks for replying.
I am using WWE_RM061208. Everytime i restart the phone it says, "Unrecognized card in slot" i am assuming this is the wifi card? any ideas? which version rom should i be using? It asks me to enter the device driver/name or something. thanks.
The unknown card is the wifi card....I used to get this notification daily for over 6 months when the wifi was not working .....Try soft-reset few times and if the notification disappears then wifi should work.....Is your ROM Original or cooked???? have you upgraded the ROM at all??
HI man,
Yes i have upgraded the ROM from www.mwg.com but it doesnt really do much, some of the settings still are around. Any suggestion which ROM should i use? What ROM are u using man? I tried soft reseting a few times but it doesnt work, it still comes up.
The ROM from mwg is original and I used it for downgrade from wm6 (YUC)..... is the wifi working when you hard reset the device ????....I used yuc wm6 but because of wifi problem there, I downgraded from mwg and then upgraded again to yuc wm6 from here

Hello All,
Since a fortnight, am observing strange problems within Network (clogs) and Virus Attacks on my Internet Cable based connection. This is a 256 Kbps line.
Problem I can see is:
a) A script or attacked is launched from a remote server/machine. It's domain address is 222360.com. Attacks happened from union.222360.com, s.222360.com and now with v.222360.com.
b) Once the scripts is launched (.js script), it gets hooked within my browser (Firefox 2.0.0.11).
c) Then, my internet activity will be disrupted severely for some time!! (can't open any page). I am using "Adblock Plus" within Firebox to block this script off.
d) Is there is no script, an attacked is launched on the open HTTP ports or on Yahoo Messenger.
e) Ultimately, an attack is made in form or Trojan or Exploit to gain access or to steal information from my system.
I can see the following logs from the NAV 2007 firewall.
I have similar problems with my stealth..
But worse...
My wireless manager only shows Bluetooth and Phone..
No more Wi-Fi thing..
It happen when i downgrade it to WM5,i got it from mwg..
When i'm using Yuc's WM6 sometimes the wifi works,sometimes it doesn't..
So i decided to downgrade it..
But now i can't use my wifi anymore..
I've been Downgrade and re-upgrade it like 4 times and that long processes did nothing for me..
Anyone have similar problems?

I had a similar problem with wifi for over one year . I had to down and upgrade my stealth 3 or 4 times and finally worked alone after repeat soft reset ...another problem is that you may see wifi icon but doesnot work on pressing it...try removing the battery for 6 to 12 hours and restart again...now at this time I did soft reset for my stealth and the wifi didnot load but iam sure it will work after few hours or tomorrow
First of all thank God,because sending this guy(Yuc) to us..you gave a new life for our O2Xda Stealth,like a candle shining in the dark..Trilions thanks to you.
Actually i would like to ask somebody's help about ZiIME.CAB.. i deleted phoneime.dll but still can't delete zisip_Opt.dll.. it said "Cannot delete file ZiSip_Opt:the file may be in read-only memory,on a write-protected disk,or currently in use by another applications"
is there another way to delete this file?
Secondly how to kill "cprog.exe" in Task Manager?
Another silly question is can somebody upgrade O2XdaStealth GPRS Cellular Data Link to 3G or 3.5G..or is there any Booster for Internet connection?
the 02 xda stealth camera. it was its quality built-in GPS receiver, CK3300 adds navigation functions to the benefits of the CK3100 kit. It enables the driver to access wirelessely NMEA-0183 standard GPS data via Bluetooth . Those Data can be used with all Smartphones or PDAs. The GPS output may also be utilised with the Route 66 navigation software for Symbian mobile phones, allowing not just house-number precision navigation but also up-to-date traffic information.
After almost 9 years from this post, my stealth is still alive
Hi, my data connection has stopped working reliably, and hoping for some assistance.
I have the Sprint Mogul, never updated the ROM when I bought it about 5 months ago. I have the unlimited high speed data plan. Starting about 2 weeks ago, the data connection would periodically fail. For example, I'd be using IE and in the middle of a session, suddenly it would say it couldn't find the page I requested. The only fix was the kill the data session and the reload the page. It would start a new connection, and would be fine. Over time, it's gotten worse and worse, to now where the data connection works less than 10% of the time. I have to constantly reset it, try again, and again, and again. Sometimes it does work after a long delay--i.e. IE will say it's locating, locating, location for 10-20 seconds, and then suddenly "wake up" and load the page. The same is true for all apps that use the data connection--for example Outlook. Sometimes it just can't download emails, and other times it takes 10-20 seconds to connect, and then works fine for a short time.
I'm thinking that maybe I should just update the ROM--is there a new version? (I'm running 3.35.651.2 from 2/22/08)
A bit more info: Wifi works just fine, if I connect through that, all internet functions are perfect. The phone itself is also fine--I can make and receive calls as per normal.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
The latest ROM version is 3.56. You must update since you are running 2.17 I believe. You will have GPS and a more stable ppc. As to your internet connection, do you have any memory management tool that clear your cookies (see all the pages you visit are stored on your ppc and that can cause the lag too) . Look for sktool.Oxios,Memaid...
My suggestion is to definitely upgrade to at least 3.35,but keep in mind that you must back up your data lke contact or apps that you dowloaded to the ppc. Upgrade will erase everything you added to the ppc.
Look for pimback up to back up your contact,or you can look up spb backup or sprite back up.
Good luck and don't hesitate to ask.
Two days ago I flashed the latest NRG MAX SENSE ROM (August 13th, 2010 – Build 23129), I have flashed many times before over the last year with no problems before.
After one day my phone would not connect via data connection, no matter how I tried to start it, for example from a favourite within the HTC Internet Tab, a favourite within Opera Browser, through Internet Explorer, Comm Manager, nothing worked.
I assumed this could be a problem with the new ROM, so I performed a hard reset and still wouldn’t work. I then tried re-flashing this ROM once again and performed two hard resets with no luck. Finally I decided to go back to the stock Orange ROM that came with my phone.
Initially I could get a connection via GPRS, 3G, H, but in Opera there would be no activity, the pages would not load, same using Internet Explorer. Within the last 24 hours I continued to be able to connect via data connection but it was very hit and miss whether any pages would actually load.
Within the last couple of hours I can no longer get a data connection again.
I have checked the settings and they all seem exactly the same as they have been since I’ve owned the phone.
Does anyone know any tips to try or any information on whether there has been a problem with the Orange UK network recently or weather my antenna could have become faulty.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
The Orange data network is poorly ATM

Thanks a lot, been looking into it and heard similar rumours today, this confirms it.
