I used to have a Sidekick. It connected to Danger Inc's servers before connecting to AIM. If your phone got disconnected it would wait a set ammount of time to see if you reconnected and then it would send you any "missed" messages when you connected.
Is there anything like that for WM devices?
IE: Can I use my home computer/network as some sort of "always-on-proxy"?
If I get a phone call or loose connection for a few seconds (no signal, roaming, weird tower switching, etc) it will disconnect me from AIM. Between the time that I'm actually disconnected and while AIM servers still thinks I'm connected (before switching it to send via SMS) it will loose any messages that are sent to me.
Is there anything out there that would fix this and give me more of a "sidekick" like feel to IMing?
If it matters, I should add:
My current WM device is a Titan (Sprint Mogul). dcd's 1.6.8 clean ROM, 1.47 Radio ROM. I'm also using IM+ (but have tried others) for AIM messaging.

ive had this problem a few times on my titan, the top bar shows an idle data connection (i get push email from an exchange server) and when i try to use opera (or PIE, agile messenger, google maps, pocketping, remote desktop, even outlook) i get no data connection, the arrows turn white like its working but i can never make a connection to anything.
at first i thought it was DNS, and it just wasnt resolving the hostnames, but i cant ping or RDP to IP addresses either. it persists though a soft-reset too
last time this happened it was a few hours before i could get a data connection again, which is really annoying
i dont think the issue is with the phone though, as i can access the internet just fine via wifi, so im guessing there is little hope of being able to fix it on this end
im using DCDs 2.2.6 rom for sprint (but ive had the problem with previous 2.x roms too)
Traded up(?) to the Niki from a Tornado, I use push email from the works exchange server, over Vodafone contract GPRS, the Tornado was always great for this.
Setup the Niki with the same GPRS settings, when I turn it on everything works, push email, internet browsing etc. After a while it stops working, can't sync, can't browse the web, or even get a weather update. Though it still says it's got a good GPRS connection.
Switch off and back on and it all works again for a short while, then same again.
I've even flashed wioth Tom's ROM to see if that improved things, still the same.
Stoping and starting the GPRS connection doesn't help.
Proxy, DNS, other issue ?
Any ideas ?
I have the same problem. The only way to restore it in my experience is by activating 3G in the comms manager (or restarting). From there the phone will log off from the data connection and log back on again. From the searching I've done it seems to be a problem related to WM6. I also use push mail and, when this happens, it's very annoying. Haven't found a solution yet. I've tried an alternate DNS address (still nothing), I've tried upgrading the radio to a Kaiser ROM (same problem), and I've tried using Toms ROM (still the same problem). I was hoping that upgrading the radio ROM would solve it, but it hasn't. I'm going to try and have the phone on 3G all day and see if it drops out of connection. If it doesn't then that would indicate some problem with the GPRS side of WM. I don't think it's a setting thing, but I could be wrong. I wish I could find a solution though because I'm considering moving to an N95 8Gb...
I have the same issue,
see my post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=374226
but with no reply...
When it occurs I can switch off the phone part (plane mode), but I can't switch back on, it stucks to plane mode... I've to shutdown the device to be able to restart a good data connection.
Maybe a WM6 bug... or radio rom issue .. I dunno
Thanks both,
I've changed the radio rom to this one, RUU Nike Radio 1.64.08.21K , which is a hacked Kaiser one, seems a bit better, still a low signal, but quicker reconection, and the GPRS stays up longer.
Vodafone UK
Tom's Rom
RUU Nike Radio 1.64.08.21K
Cheers.
GPRS connectivity issue
Same issue here. Push mail, GPRS, internet stops working after a while. Sometimes it works for a day or less. I place it into plane mode and then turn off plane mode. and it usually works. Sometimes i have to reboot the whole thing, but not very often.
The display still shows G in the top box, but doesn't work.
Anyone have any fixes, or suggestions...
OMG, didn't know that this is a common problem.
Waiting for the SE XPERIA X1.
Hey there,
my last two HTC devices used to be able to switch from an "internet" data connection to a "WAP" connection automatically - e.g. when an MMS came in. The device would terminate the GPRS Internet connection and establish a WAP session to download the MMS.
Now using an LG KS20, I have to disconnect internet connection manually.
Why?
And how does HTC do it? Any way of getting automatic switching on the LG?
Many thanks,
N.
What kind of phone do you have? I have issues receiving MMS on just about every ROM I've used on my Tilt. Usually, a reboot will make it work, but I never thought about killing the 3G connection.
The message I get is simply "Forbidden". Do you think it's related?

Dunno about the error message you get - but probably your Tilt uses different data connections for MMS (WAP) and everything else (3G Internet). Try terminating the 3G internet connection and see if the device starts a different type of connection to receive MMS.
Yeah... just figured that out. I had been soft-resetting the phone. Killing and restarting the network connection seems to do the trick.
Now, this begs question... why in the hell does a modern day WM6 phone still have this issue?
Once setting up Wifi, I cannot make my data connection work.
I know it is set up and working properly because Weather and Stock Tabs are updating fine, but all other programs cannot use data connectioin (e.g. error response in Opera, Mail, etc)
I have set up in Connection according to Internet and Company (not sure how this is called in English) but it does not work.
Does anyone have similar problems? And how do i fix this?
can we have some more info?
What happens if you turn the phone connection off in comms manager, but leave the wifi connection on?
What error are you getting?
Is your wifi router set to block any particular type of traffic?
With wifi it works fine, just my 3g data connection does not work.
i have tried numerous settings, changed, deleted, softresetted. nothing can make my HD connect through 3G
H(sdpa) and E(dge) symbols appear next to connection strength which signalizes it is connected after i switch data connection on. but whatever program i try to connect, all give me errors. i assume they keep trying to connect with either wifi or something else.
there were some times where i could update stocks and weather tab, but at same time opera, msn, google maps, etc. all gave me connection errors (could not connect etc.)
sometimes it appears when i delete an entry, it re-appears again. maybe i have to do hard-reset if there is no solution at all.
Get your network to send you a config text with the settings. Also have they activated hsdpa for your account?
sure i tried that all. also tested other prepaid cards (vodafone, o2), with all of them the problem appears to be the same. they all work on my old phone, just not on HD.
im afraid only a hardreset will help.
what happens if you turn wifi off via comms manager (making sure phone connection is still turned on)
does it update weather / stock then?
PS which mobile company are you with, and in what country?
I have a similar problem.
But in my case it often helps to disconnect the 3G connection and reconnect. In most cases Opera can then load the desired page.
Network is O2 Germany.
Here is what I'm Trying to do:
~Find a Wm6 or Wm6.1 that would allow me to setup and use the phone with out a data connection from A&TT, but would like to only use WIFI to access the Web, email & facebook...etc...etc
~What threads, rom, tricks, cabs or tweaks where used to achieve this... while still being able to use email & the web via WIFI only?
~I've tried several Roms all installed no problem except setting up email accounts and intermittent web access issues when the phone goes into standby.
~I've set up a Window live email account but have very inconsistent connections issues. (Mostly not working)
~Frequent connection errors...
Any suggestion, pointers would be great!
As far as i know the first port of call for wm phones is to try and connect via a data plan, it will only try via wifi if you have it switched on and connected, i havent found a way of getting it to automatically try to connect to wifi. So good luck in finding it , as i have been on here for years and still dont know how to do it.
I know its not exactly useful, but just letting you know, dont think its going to be easy
You can use NoData to prevent it from trying to use a data plan (2G, 3G, etc).
I don't have a data plan at all; this is what I do to force it to use only activesync passthrough or wifi:

The No-data cab did not help.... Did nor notice any changes... Outlook continues to pop open every few minutes. Not sure what the cause is however the phone works fine when I connect it with WIFI. is there some reg-edit to stop the outlook pop up? Let me give some more info that may help...
Using:
~Window Live Hotmail client with in Pocket Outlook
~Do not have a data plan for the phone (AT&T 8525 Hermes)
~The Only way the phone connects to the web or email is via WIFI
All suggestions welcome....

The nodata cab installs the nodata program - check your programs menu. Run the nodata program and you can toggle off your connections.
