I have an o2 xda exec and for some reason my GPRS connection that is displayed next to the time (G symbol next to the time in the right hand corner of the screen) on the screen disconnects and so the sim switches to its UMTS mode. I was wondering why does it disconnect from GPRS to UMTS?

I have the xda2 and am using bluetooth to connect to my pc
When I activate ActiveSync the gprs indicator pops up in the top left hand corner and the connection symbol changes. Is this Normal ?.
If I disable bluetooth then it reverts back to the normal connection
When I make a GPRS connection it never disconnects, if I browse a web page and then close IE and all other running apps the GPRS connection stays alive. I have to either hold the red button to disconnect to soft reset, Is there any way to get to to auto disconnect after a set time or is it supposed to do this and mine is just faulty.
It also happens with MMS, I send an MMS and it sends fine, but the GPRS connection stays on. You do not see the connection listed with'in the connections list, but you do have the arrows at the top to tell you your on a GRPS connection. If I make another GPRS call to the ISP then it hangs up the MMS connection and makes the connection to the ISP etc...
There is no option with'in the connection bubble to disconnect yet I have this option on my XDA1 which was updated to PPC2003. I can manually disconnect sessions using a disconnect option. But not on my new O2 XDAII running the latest ROM from O2.
To disconet manuley just tap and hold the o2 ikon then untick your conection. as to the timeout it is in there somewhere but i carnt rember off hand
Have you tried GB-Soft Tweak? It has settings to disconnect GPRS after a specified amount of inactive time.
My problem is somewhat different: When I use GPRS settings WITHOUT a proxy assigned, there is the bubble of GPRS connecting (with cancel) and when connected (in conjunction with GB Soft Tweak), there is a disconnect button.
But when I assign a proxy setting to the GPRS, these buttons disappears. In fact EVEN if it is connected to GPRS, when I tap on the radio icon, it stays in the state displaying as not connected (meaning there's STILL an option to connect to GPRS even if i'm already connected)
the only way to disconnect is the press and hold red button OR to use the disconnect button of my GPRS monitor (SPB)
I dunno if this is connected to GB Soft Tweak, or a bug in the OS on handling the radio.
When setting up my device for the first time I wanted to use the GSM network (as I have free minutes/SMS on my tariff).
I selected Postpay and GSM when prompted, however the GPRS connected icon shows in notification bar. I do not want to use or have GPRS connected.
Please could you advise how I can connect to the GSM network.
Thanks

I have a T-Mobile Vario and I just put on the new imate rom. when ever im not running wifi i get the G icon (GPRS) in the top bar constantly. Ive had to amend the GPRS settings so it doesnt connect over GPRS by mistake. Is there a way to make it go back to the opposite arrows with the x icon?
TIA
Doug
The 'G' is the normal behaviour. It doesn't mean you're connected to GPRS, it just indicate that your network has GPRS coverage.
On the contrary, the two arrows with the 'x' mean that you cannot connect to GPRS.
So don't worry, your wizard is behaving correctly.
bye
I seem to be right at the edge of UMTS coverage where I live. When connected to a UMTS network I get one or no lines showing signal strength.
As a consequence, the connection gets broken off frequently and then reconnected to GPRS (which is strong). Then transferred back to UMTS and so on.
Especially the transfer from weak to no UMTS and then switching to GPRS is a pain. lost connection, having to dial in again, sometimes even getting an errormessage.
Is there a way to configure my device to not use UMTS?
I have a Universal.
Hello
To do this you need to go to start/settings/phone
click on the 'Band' tab at the bottom and then use the 'select your network type' drop menu to chose 'GSM'. This will disable the UMTS band and save you ALOT of battery as well.
Please let me know if this helped
This infomation can easily be found in the universal forum.
