After watching for months the issues that many have suffered over this problem, I finally found a solution that will fix all the woes.
A few months ago I was one of the many here that upgraded to 1.11 ROM, had the problem. It drove me crazy to the point that I went back to the 1.06 ROM that was rock solid. Well the other day I did a hard reset to have a clean slate. While looking at the Extended ROM I saw the file DefaultV_1.12 in the EXT Rom (Compared 1.11 ROM on FTP to my device). This was the same file that a XDA developer member had modified to somewhat solve the GPRS problem a few months ago.
At this point I had a hypothesis, so I pulled the same file from the older 1.06 ROM which was rock solid and did not have the “Cannot Connect” problem. In this EXT ROM it is named Default_Version_WWE_106150.sa.CAB.
Installed it first on my Blue Angel as a guinea pig, then for the next three hours I would sit there and disconnect and reconnect. I did it manually by holding the red button to disconnect, then I would reconnect to another webpage, then would have a call come in while in the middle of the GPRS session which would suspend it. After done with the phone call I would reconnect manually by clicking connect as well as by just hitting a link on the webpage.
The Results: No “Cannot Connect” problem.
So off I went to my Magician:
Upgraded to 1.11(I have 850 JAM)
Installed Default_Version_WWE_106150.sa.CAB
Put the phone through its paces, I have been disconnecting and reconnecting without a single problem. I receive phone calls that suspend the GPRS session and I am able to reconnect without a problem. Activesync is able to make OTA connections without a hitch.
During my trials I used the same programs:
Which included:
Photo Contacts(newest version)
Activesync
WEBIS Mail 2
xVbar
PocketZenPhone
Regking 2003
As the only variable throughout the trials was Default_Version_WWE_106150.sa.CAB
This is the solution folks.
At least until someone says it does not work.
Installation Steps:
1. Download CAB that I have attached.
2. Copy over to device
3. Install
4. Soft Reset.
1st of all let me say this is a great site for the HTC devices, I found it years ago when i had the first XDA (Wallaby i think) and now i own a O2 Mini.
I have just installed your patch and i'll let you know how it goes.
I wonder if this patch does the same as the "downgrading" of the caller id as detailed in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=20428
The downgrade has been succesful for blue angel users too.

Many thanks for posting this information.
For a relative newbie like me who has never manually fiddled with ROM files, can you please explain what I actually have to do to "install" the CAB file, i.e. in which directory on the device do I put it, and how do I run it?

Once copied over to the device just place it where you can find it using the file explorer. Once located using the file explore simply click on it and it will install on its own. Do a soft reset and enjoy.
Crisscross: The Photo Contact solution that people have found only alleviates the problem a little, not entirely.
In my trials it has solved my problems completly. I wish for other members who try it out to report back as well to see whether all my trials were just a fluke, or our solution.
don't work for me
don't work for me. same problem as before, can't connect due unknown reason.
thanks anyway.
Orcas what is your ROM?

The downgrade of caller-id to an earlier version has also solved the problem totally for me and several other people, both blue-angel and magician users. Thats why I was curious just what your patch did. Seems that it is something similar, you are maybe downgrading more of the rom?
Did you try downgrading of the caller-id first? Not just photo contacts but downgrade to the specified earlier build of caller-id?

Hi there,
Just thought I'd report that I've just installed it. My ExtROM now reports as 1.06.150 WWE.
And... so far, so good!!! I've connected/disconnected to GPRS multiple times, interrupted GPRS with a phone call and then reconnected, have sent files to my device via BT while GPRS is on, and still no problem. It's looking very good!!!
And I'd swear it connects faster than it did previously.
Anyway, I'll keep hammering at it over the weekend and report back on Monday.
Thanks again randomshots!
Well, I'm back already, because I still have the problem. DARN IT!!!!!! :x
The thing that made it happen was that I made a phone call while GPRS was on. When I ended the call and tried to reconnect to GPRS, I got the blasted error. So it seems that receiving a phone call does not cause the error to happen, but making a call does. At least for me.
Oh well, it was worth a try. Back to the drawing board.
Same problem in Hong Kong
I upgraded to ROM v1.11 a few days ago and since then I have the GPRS connection error after 1 or 2 connections. Soft reset will solve the problem. This problem was not encountered at all before the ROM upgrade. It must be the new ROM that mess things up!
As this "default cab" from an old rom seems to solve the problem and also an older version of caller-id solves it there is probably something wrong in the communication between caller-id and some of the customisations from this cab on newer roms. Btw the problem is also in 1.12 roms.
Nice too see that we have two possible solutions here, I will stick to the downgrade of caller-id as it has solved the problem totally for me but it would be interesting to know what the real cause is...
Hi again. Just to answer the previous question to my post: my rom version is 1.12.00 WWE, radio 1.12.00, extrom now says 1.06.150. i think the only thing this cab changes is this rom number, nothing else
orcas
orcas,
I believe you are absolutely right. When the extended rom has finished installing the programs, it runs this .cab file to 'brand' the Magician with the build number. Nothing more or nothing less. But faith can move mountains, as we all know...
I guess some of you know that there is another (older) thread about GPRS problems. If you do not, there is a link below.
Anyway, I finally tried the most recent suggested fix in that thread (downgrading the device's CallerID program to an earlier version) and like a number of others I can happily report that so far, it has fixed my GPRS cannot connect problem. Looking good.
Here is the thread:

Just thought I'd share that the second fix I tried (downgrading CallerID) has continued to work for me. I have no more problems with GPRS. All is well with my Magician. At last.
Serious, I have no idea why! Few days ago it worked fine. Today, after installing the new intellidialer.dll (for german Umlaute: f.e. Ö,Ä), the intellidialer doesn´t come up anymore. I could only dial numbers without any suggestion of names. So I put the old dll back again and made a softrest. But still no effect. Next idea was to install intellidial from exROM again. So I installed:
IntelliDialer_Magician_T-Mobile_GER_RC20.CAB
and
IntelliPad_Magician_T-Mobile_GER_RC20.CAB
Result: I got back the damn T-Mobile branding and still no effect on intellidialer. May I missed something. Any suggestions?
i have same problem after Big storage 1.13...my intellidial doesn't work even after installing the IntelliDialer_Magician_T-Mobile_WWE_RC20.CAB
any advice?
I think the intellidialer.dll was not loaded normally. Try to backup your PPC with SPB backup etc. and hard reset your PPC. install intellidialer_magician...R20.cab， then recover your ppc from your backup.
tried & no help...
still can't have intellidial.funny thing is if i use my old 1.11 extended rom intellidial patch,i works.Buts its version 13..compared to version 20 for the 1.13.
any difference between the 2 versions anyway?
History of my XDA 2:
• Supplied with WM2003, no problems.
• Upgraded to WM2003SE, no problems.
• Recently upgraded to WM2005, phone did not work ("No Service" everywhere I went).
• Downgraded to WM2003SE, no problems, phone works fine.
• Tried upgrading to WM2005 again, phone does not work again.
I have tried everything I can logically think of to try and get the phone to work. I have checked the country setting (UK), phone settings (all looks fine, but I'm not 100% sure what the settings should be), unlocked my phone using xda2unlock, and tried different sims.
I'm using the BuzzDev 60b.96 release. Has anyone else had this problem?
Update: I've just remembered that my phone did work for a while after upgrading to WM2005. It might have been some program I installed that caused the problem. I've also noticed that when I downgraded to WM2003 and upgraded to WM2005 again, all my settings and programs I installed in WM2005 originally are still there. Does anyone know how to reset the memory completely so my programs and settings in WM2005 will be reset to a clean installation?
Update 2 - Problem Solved!: I've just performed a format by holding the Camera and Record button while doing a reset, and WM2005 just reinstalled. Now the phone works fine!
Try this ...
As for your preinstalled software which doesn't seem to get erased when updating your rom, simply downgrade your ppc to wm2003se and install the extended rom unlocker. Then unlock and unhide your extended rom. Then from file explorer go to your (storage) drive and delete everything inside the drive and then go to your extended rom drive and delete everything there. This should remove any installed software from your pre-wm2005 installation.
Now as for your radio problem, I would suggest you use either radio rom version 1.17 or 1.18 and see which one works. Now if you've tried upgrading your ppc using only buzz lightyears os rom WHICH DOES NOT INCLUDE the radio rom, then you've only upgraded your os rom and have used your pre-existing radio rom that was properly running on wm2003se but seemed to fail on wm20051.6b. Now, in this case, I would suggest you either download radio versions 1.17 or 1.18 nb files and adding them to your os update setup directory along with buss lightyear's wm2005 1.6b You can find both radio versions on our FTP site
ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Himalaya_SEs/Radio/
From there you can try both radio roms and see which one works best with u. Good Luck ;-) Tareq A.N
Hiya All,
I'm trying to install Hebrew language extender on my Imate Jam rom 1.12
I'de a previous version installed which was fine, tried to uninstall and install a new version because of some minor problems which I though that will be solved in the newer version.
The problem is that during the installation, the install wizard tries to install tahoma and tahomabd fonts to the ppc device and fails in that operation.
The exact error message is "Can't copy C:\Windows\Fonts\\tahoma.ttf", yep with double "\\".
I've also tried to copy the original version which I'd but stayed with the same results.
Any opinion on how to solve this mistery ?
Thanks in advanced,
Bright Star
Sorry, I can't help you with that, but I can confirm that this software is very bad for your Magician.
I purchased the Danish version and ran it for some time. During that period I had a LOT of problems with the BT icon dissapearing.
I started noticing that after a hard reset, the icon was always there until I installed the Language Extender, and then it was gone! Sure enough, since I stopped using this program, my BT icon problems has nearly dissapeared.
So unless someone comes up with a better idea, all I can say is hard reset your Magician and don't use this crappy software again
Hi,
I've been trying to install gyrator and got this message so tested several other CABs and now seem to be getting this message on trying to install any CAB - really frustrating
Any ideas what might be causing this?
My Blackstone configuation is all pretty standard with original ROM etc
Any suggestions welcomed!
try reinstalling the cab again, it should say that it will remove previous installed version and will reinstall, BUT it wont proceed with the installation. Now after this, go back to the remove programs section and check if its still there.
Wondering if you found the issue, as i have this happening over 4 or 5 different ROM's, ruled out that its a ROM issue, trying to narrow it down to a 3rd party app, unsucessful so far.
When trying to install ANY cab i get the 'unsucessful installation' error message - including cabs i've already installed. Flash my phone this morning, install apps i wanted to, went to install something else this evening, now getting this message.
I've got Sktools installed and i am able to install cabs via this.
Got that problem too on Xperia X1, can't figure out either what the cause might be. Anyone any ideas?
Found my cause - it was installing Twikini

so you can't install apps after installing twikini?
I'm getting the "uninstall unsuccessfu" for almost anything i try to install and do have twikini installed (but i can't remember if it was the last app i've installed).
Also i can't open attachments in my emails, can't download files from PIE and when i go to remove programs (start-settings-system-remove programs) the list is empty...
DId you have to hard reset or did u find away around this?
btw, i'm having these issues on my kaiser.
Finally I found what my problem was, even if I can't understand, why this is a problem.
From time to time, e.g. when I got no USB cable around, I used to send the .cab vie E-Mail to have them on my device. Well, and as a matter of fact, exactly those are the ones, where installation fails.
Copying exactly the same file via USB to storage card ends in everything working fine....
So i flashed a new rom and installed twikini first, everything was ok for a couple of days. But all of a sudden this problem is back.
I know its not the .cab files because they're the same cabs i'm trying to install that i install on almost every rom after i flash them.
I'm thinking its yahoo go.
