gprs problems - Wing, P4350 General

hey guys, i just joined and quickly reflashed my wing with touch it 2.3 and slide to unlock.
Everything is working fine except for when i go to send a picture message. The phone attempts to connect to gprs, then gets a little clock next to the message before eventually getting a red x and doing absolutley nothing.
so what settings do i have to play with or what can i do to fix it?
thanks for your help by the way

Slick messenger

Why is slick not working for my titan, it worked well for a day, but now i get an error messeger saying there is no network but i have an unlimited data plan? Palringo works fine but i want slick back, any ideas on why this might be happening, I have WM 6.1 rom updated to 3.56, my coworker has the same phone and rom but his slick works and i put it on his phone, i dont understand the problem, please help
If you recently soft reset your phone you have to manually connect to the data stream...Slick will not auto connect
How would i do that?
understand
If I understand you right, it's not connecting to the network.
If you open Slick, then go to: Menu -> Configuration -> Access Point...
Change it to: The Internet
It should then connect first to your data provider, then to your chat program.
Hopefully that's what you were referring to. Obviously make sure to setup your settings (ie, login/pw) for each account first.
I have to set my Access Point to "Sprint" for it to auto connect, FYI.
All this is set up just fine, it just keeps giving me a Connection Error messege, i looked at my cooworkers and the setting are the same, but his works and i gave him the same updates, i dont get it
Bump it, i just took the update cab within my coworkers slick folder switched from automatic to sprint and works fine now, thanx
when ever i try to log in it always says error auth failed. is there anyway to fix that. i need a good IM but i dont witch one i want to use cuz the aim betea is alil slow, and i even overclock my phone. so if u can help me can u message me thanks

what i did was pop in my sim card then the auto configuration loaded up. After that I had to restart the phone then I was good to go.
Thank you... mine doesn't seem to auto load the settings... I wonder what gives?
I actually had to call to give the my imei details then i was up and away.
it detected my settings the att guy said user/pass wasnt used anymore blanked that out but the rest of the settings were fine
you need to go to start/settings/phone/network
click on find network and that should start the auto config
Same here...
Just slid in my Sim card, turn the X1i on..
Pop show up asking to setup for AT&T...
Do you have the "Generic UK" rom??
Stuart
mine also auto configured when i first put my sim card in. i have an x1a. i found out that my internet connection wouldnt work when i powered down my phone. i had to re configure my networks settings again. now i dont power my phone down when i want to turn off my phone. i just use the communication manager to turn off the phone.
any one else notice that... that is if they power down the phone using the button, that after turning back on, the internet isnt working anymore (onboard internet or my bluetooth dun for tethering doesnt work after powering down unless i re auto configure my phone network settings).
No problem with powering my X1i down at all......
Can connect to both wap and isp access points without a problem..

Touch HD's Not downloading MMS - Orange working on a fix!

Hi all,
I have searched and searched for this around many forums including this one and found nothing to help me, so finally logged a call with Orange Premier, who after about 3 weeks of calls back and forth finally told me that after speaking with tech support that they are aware of an issue affecting the HTC Touch HD and some of their Balckberry's which is that the devices do not download MMS messages!
So if you have this problem, I suggest pestering Orange until they release a fix of some sort, at the moment they have no fix but are apparently working on it!
Update:
Orange finally suggested registering the SIM card which came with the new Touch HD as I should have registered it anyway so they know what phone I have and this seems to have fixed it - let me know if this works for you!
Update
D'oh - Spoke too soon!
Seemed to work for while but now no longer works without disconnecting the Orange Internet GPRS connection first, and even then it is hit and miss!
This is really annoying and Orange's stand is basically there is nothing we can do. No way I will be staying with orange when my contract is up, after 14 years of being an Orange customer
Wow - I thought it was just me! Thanks, and please keep us updated.
I have downloaded MMS on Orange UK, but I had to go to the Orange site and find the MMS settings. Once they were done I receved MMS and then noticed I had no internet connection (over gsm). So I went to the Orange site and entered the settings for OrangeInternet - the mobile internet worked again, but now I can't download MMS.
It's the lesser of two evils for me not to have MMS. But would like it back

Can't say I've experienced this problem.
I generally upgrade to a new ROM every week and when phone first starts, connection settings are automatically setup for you.
If you don't want to wait for Orange to release a fix, try using a different ROM and see if this works for you
I have this problem also.
I called up orange and they basically told me that the MMS i was receiving was too big.
The limit apparently is 300k. I tested this by sending from a blackberry and the MMS > 300k didn't download, but the MMS < 300k did download.
Pretty poor that there's a limit on it as some phones don't reaize the content before sending.
I'm missing out on a good few messages because of this
That's interesting Scotia, but the mms's I am recieving are from people with rubbish camera pics so I'm not entirely sure that's the reason - but I will test.
Hey Guys,
Rang Orange again today as I am getting really annyoed with this, I am planning a wedding atm and the missus is constantly sending me MMS of photos she has taken for colours of bridesmaids dresses and flowers etc.....not that I am really interested but I pretend I am!!!
Anyway, the outcome of this latest call was that I was told to ring HTC direct and they sent me HTC's phone number.....I rang HTC, they told me that they could come and collect my phone run diagnistics on it and let me know if it was an issue, however they would not provide a replacement and the whole process would take a couple of weeks!
I said this was not acceptable and was there not a fix for it, were they even awar of it? The answer was that it was an orange branded phone and they don't issue ROM updates that orange do and to call them!
I called orange back told them the good news, that it was infact their problem to deal with....with which they said they will go back to technical support!
In the mean time I have done anther hard reset and it seems to have downloaded a message, but then once my poush email etc is setup again it stops downloading MMS again. So I think it is to do with having two connections running at the same time Surely this is not acceptable!
I also asked orange for another phone until they got a fix, told them I wanted either a different brand phone or another HTC model until they had a fix. Apparently the system will not allow this!!!
I know I could flash another ROM, and I would class myself as pretty technical - but I don't see why I should have to do this and also I will then get no support from Orange if I am on a non-standard ROM? Also where to start, there are so many ROMS floating about, which one to choose?!
Anyways, thought I would keep you all posted.
Cheers,
James
james, i have also noticed this and am wioth orange.
It was working fine, then stopped receiving mms, but email worked ok, so i checked online and went through the mms settings, this fixed problem, and was again able to receive mms, but email didnt work - it is a problem with the mms settings and internet settings running at same time.
when you check the connections folder, and manage existing connections - only orange internet is present. if you try to add the mss settigns it says they already exist, and wont let you add them, i think maybe if we try that, but call them a diff name maybe it`ll work, i will give it a go and report back.
t3rm3y - I wonder if you may be onto something there! I don't have time to test atm but let me know what you find out and then I will try it this afternoon
My brother who is on the Three network sends MMS to his girlfriend and she gets it instantly but whenever he sends it to me, i never get it.
Must be a vodafone thing, maybe a HD thing, who knows.

According to Orange that is a Vodafone issue, as they started telling me that they knew of a problem sending messages to vodafone, that sometimes a message doesn't get through and other times it is received more than once, but it was a problem with Voda not Orange. That didn't help me as I am trying to send and receive between two Orange handsets which doesn't work!
I also have problem with MMS not downloading
to get them downlonaded I close active sync then disconnect all data connections , then moments later the MMS connection is remade and MMS downloads OK

thats exactly what i have had to do .
close all data sessions , then it receives the mms .
Sorry for the bump but im so glad i found this thread ! Thought it was just me. I've been on the phone to orange about 6 times to sort this out and it still doesn't always work. Any signs of progress from orange ?
Just want to bump this thread again as I'm having the same trouble with Orange, I can only send mms's if I disconnect all currant data connections

You need to create an Orange MMS profile under connections. I leave mine on "orange internet" but if I receive an MMS change it to "orange MMS" just to download the message, then change it back. Works Ok. The MMS technical helpdesk gave me a walkthrough to set up the MMS settings.

Thats more of a work around, similar to closing all data connections mentioned above.
Thing is, the MMS should download without any intervention. So there is a problem that needs fixed.
Orange hit me off with this rubbish when i called them also, only for me to tell them that i already have the Orange MMS profile setup correctly in my phone.
Then they told me that it's bacause the MMS is too big.
But now i have tested large pic sizes by disconnecting all data connections and i can receive the MMS no problem.
Think i'll give them a call tomorrow again and see if there's any chance they can get this sorted.
Just off the phone to Orange.
The guy i spoke to said he had the Touch HD handset and had the same problems.
Told me to do the following :
Start > Programs > Quick GPS > Menu > Options : Untick 'Auto download when data expires'
Start > Programs > RSS Hub > Menu > Options : Auto Update Mode should be set to 'No Auto Update'
Start > Settings > System Tab > Windows Update > Menu > Connections : Untick 'Use my data plan to check for and download updates'
Manila Weather Tab > Menu > Settings : Untick 'Download weather automatically'
Now i know this seems again more of a workaround than an actual fix, but to be honest, i don't think Orange are going to provide a permanant fix for this.
I have tried 3 MMS messages so far and they all have worked with no problems.
I'll keep monitoring it and update if i have anymore issues.
i can download mms and go on internet, but cant send stupid things. tried the mms account on the manage settings tab, but dont help, tried the turning off auto update idea, still no help, its well annoying.!!!
I got my HTC Touch HD on monday and all has been fine and have been getting mms with no problems, out of interest I followed scotia_rfc's work around and discovered that my phone was default set up as he had listed, I didn't have to make any changes etc. Perhaps Orange have twigged to this and are now sending out all new Touch HD's configured this way?
I'm expecting my HD tomorrow, will let you know how mine is set up

"Answering Modem Disconnected" - Please Help!

I turned off all connections before walking into a building on my college campus today since I know I receive no service there. When I walked out I tried turning on my connections and now am getting ZERO SERVICE. When I try to connect it says: "The answering modem has disconnected. To check your connection settings and change them if needed, tap Settings."
I've tried resetting but it keeps giving me the same message. I performed several soft resets and even removed the battery a couple of times. The phone works fine, I am just not receiving any connection service.
Does anybody have an ideas on how to fix this?
Thanks!

What about bettery? I met same problem once, since my battery is low. After recharging battery, everything back to normal.
still not working
no, i removed the battery several times as well. Its not the phone apparently. I took it to two T-Mo stores and both couldn't figure out what was wrong with it. They gave me new sim cards, and it still would not connect. Tried sim cards in different phones and it wouldnt connect on those phones either. So now i have to wait because it can take up to 2 hours for a new sim card to work :/
First, what ROM are you running? Second, have you tried a hard reset?
If all else fails, then warranty exchange it.
~Jasecloud4.
Havent done a hard reset yet since they told me it could take up to 2 hours for the network to pick up my new sim card. And I am running ROM Version 2.13.531.1
Since your sim wouldn't work in the other phones, it's either the sim or some issue with account-level settings.
Thats what I'm thinking. I just did a hard reset and took my phone back to default settings hoping that it would fix the issue, but it didn't help at all. I'm going to go back to T-Mobile this afternoon and try to see what is up with my sim card. Being phoneless for 2 days is horrible

Try this before you return it because mine has done this a few times. I never tried hard resetting it to fix it.
Go into start setting wireless controls. then click on the left side of the data connection box, not on the switch. That will bring up the connections screen. click Manage existing connections then it will show Tmobile data. click edit, then just ok or next through all of the screens. on the last screen it will be blank for username and password or whatever, but that's ok. just click ok or next.
Now try to enable your data connection..
I know this sounds dumb, but humor me because it works for me every time.
Tried doing that, but now when I try to connect it states: "Cannot Connect: The answering modem has disconnected."

The fact that it changed something makes me think that Tmobile needs to go in and update the information...
The message you are getting now is exactly what I get. Try to do it one more time for kicks and see if it connects. If not, take it into Tmobile and see if they know the credentials needed to set that up manually.
Yeah, T-Mobile couldn't figure out what the issue was with my account/simcards/phone. So they are going to ship me a brand new HD2

Internet Help Please?

Hi everyone,
I'm new here and this looks like a good place to learn about all things WinMo
Unfortunately, i think i may have donw something to my HD2 and now it wont let me on the internet. It says at the top its connected via 3g or whatever's the strongest connection. But whenever i try to launch anything requiring the internet it comes up saying its unable to connect and to try again.
I've had the phone 3 months and its been fine. THe only changes i've made from standard is adding cookies home tab (which im sure didnt do anything) the only other thing i did around the time of it stopping working is using tree size mobile i selected "Load Default Settings" could this have done it??
I've also just noticed it wont let me call people, it just does 3 beeps and hangs up even in strong signal.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated,
Thanks,
Mark
Have you paid you're bill lol
anyway settings>connections>then take a look in connections see if all you're settings are still there if not go back a page and hit up connection set-up and it should put you're settings back in have a soft reset and try again call wise not sure, could be a problem with the phone that requires a hard reset(back to when you first got the device)
I'll enquire bout the bill, shouldnt be though, cos when you get cut off it doesnt let you connect to 3g, and when you call its just says connection to this number is restricted on this phone...which it isnt doing, its just not calling at all.
Been into settings and everything is on and i've done the reconfiguration to Vodafone and its still the same.
