CSD Line Type Problem

ok have the not for sale rom loaded, all works great except after connecting to the computer and sync'ing information when i disconnect it defaults to the csd connection instead of GPRS, needs a soft reset to get GPRS back can anyone help or suggest a reg edit for it?
Cheers

New official rom fixes this problem!

I am running the latest rom and I am still having this problem. I did not have it with the previous rom that I was using.
The only way I have found is to soft reset the atom.
Any ideas?

ok occasionally mine still reverts to the csd line error too...... but not always and ive found if u send an mms its fixed afterwards.. not sure what or why or how but on mine it is...so i have a dummy mms that goes to a myself and send it when it's playing up.... all fixed.. it must just jog its memory or something i have no idea but works for me....
Anyone else have this problem? or a solution?? must be a registry key that can force Active sync to go to GPRS not csd line...

I found an entry in the connection setting for Optus WAP. When you look at it a bit closer it is set up to connect via CSD. So I have deleted the connection settings for this and only left the Optus GPRS and MMS setting.
I have not had the problem occur since this. I imagine that this was set up via the auto configuration file that runs.
AJB

Where exactly is that i have checked all that and not found any reference to CSD Line, nor can i find the MMS settings can you tell me where you found it? Thanks

ok sorry found the setting you are talking about, wasnt in use but have added the internet settings and chosen that rather than let it auto choose or go to CSD.
Cheers

I am having a similar problem and have no idea where the settings are that let me view and change all the GPRS and WAP connection settings discussed here.
The G disappears on my phone and when I go to do something on the net it comes up and says it is trying to dial Optus Zoo - CSD instead of Optus Internet GPRS. If I turn the phone off then on or reset the device it gets the G back and all is well. If I send an MMS it sorts itself out as well.
I am sure I remember seeing the settings somewhere when I first played around but now it's as if the applet to access this stuff is missing? Or I am just forgetting where to look.
Can anyone please help? It's driving me crazy. Have a similar problem with a client's smart phone (not PDA) where he has to turn his phone off then on to get the G back.

Go to Start Settings Connections click advanced and select networks under where it says Programs that automatically connect to a provate networ should connect using ... find the setting that uses the CSD line and add the Optus GPRS setting, set it to not choose automatically but to choose the GPRS and save the settings...
you dont have to have this selected as this, but thats the only way to get to the setting and change it as far as i know, someone else may know different...
Have found tho it is an OPtus problem, i changed to Vodaphone in the last week and have no such problem..
Cheers

This is set correctly to Optus GPRS Internet Settings, there is no way to make it select automatically. No mention of CSD in there at all but there is an option for Optus ZOO WAP.
I don't have the choice of moving so need to solve this. Thanks for the help, guess I need to keep looking. Will look through the registry too.

its not in the registry you need to check each option cause one of them and not necessarily the one selected for use, uses the CSD line, you need to change the one that used csd line, you keep it selected for GPRS just change the CSD one so that that setting will always use the gprs.. hard to explain on paper pm me we will sort out

No Data Connection after flashing!!

Hey guys, i have flashed to a few ROMs in the past and my phone would always give me the trouble of no data connection. My tmobile wing is hard spl and running currently on papa's black diamond. whenever i tried to go to the comm manager to activate the data connection, it just wont turn on while other buttons i have no problem turning on such as wlan and bluetooth.
i've also tried launching internet but it just says there's no data connection and ask me to go to settings. i still can make calls but just completely no data connections. i have also soft resetted it several time and no luck. =/
help would be great!
ps. i've looked up several other threads with the same problem, however, theres really nothing under connections except add new so it didnt help much.

I think you have to use the Network Wizard. If it is not in that rom, can install it using the cab, it's should be around this forum.

thanks live! but i'm not sure which network wizard cab file works and which doesnt.. so a friend helped me set it up manually. thanks though!!

What, have you heard that question before?
Ryan

yes my fone is having the same problem and now i cant flash to a new rom

i flashed for the first time yesterday, and had the same problem. just call tmobile and tell them somehow your data connection information has deleted, and they will run u through what to put in the fields. and don't forget to go to the network wizard, to make sure its on the right network.

Same problem except it WAS working (my gprs/edge) until I added my first wlan entry.. of my apartment's wifi which works. But after I was done using it i turned the wlan off from comm manager and expected to see the big E for edge and instead just see the two arrows with the little x under it. I can no longer connect to gprs/edge. If i open the internet explorer to view a page, it flashes a "G" with the arrows like it's trying to connect forever. At that point it will not even let me make or receive calls until I reboot the ppc. Network wizard won't fix it as I've already tried, twice... no change. My data connection for T-mobile is set up already under "connections tab" but it just doesn't work. My best guess is something has gone wrong in the registry... but as much as I've searched for this kind of problem I find nothing... just stuff how to fix wlan problems. btw, i'm on tmobile. Oh, it won't even activesync if my wlan is off now... I have to enable the wlan and let it connect to my home network... and THEN it will go through activesync without error. This is nuts, I already hard resetted once because of this and now it's the same story. Maybe it's just a prob with the opentouch 6.5 nofrills version that's just basic and let's the users add their own apps.

Changing some settings on the 6800 won't stick.

Hey all. I've searched posts and can't find anything but what other people used for a quick backyard fix to get them past. Here's the deal. My phone connects to the Verizon Data Network all the time, even when I'm connected to WiFi. On my Apache, I could go into Settings, Connections, Connections and set the advanced settings so programs needing to connect automatically would use My Work Network instead of Verizon Wireless. However, on my 6800, I change the same setting for the same effect and as soon as I hit ok, it reverts back so it tries connecting to the net via cellular again instead of via WiFi. This isn't the only setting I've found that won't stick, but I can't remember what those ones are. Has anyone found the cause to this and the solution? Possibly a file that's write-protected and shouldn't be or something. I don't have a data plan and can't afford one so I really need this to change and still be able to get MMS when I need to (don't want to disable data completely on Verizon's end). Help!

Orange 3G - stopping GPRS ?

Hi
Just got an Orange 3G. One annoying feature is that if it drops a WiFi connection it goes automatically to using GPRS without any indication (which thens starts to cost !!!)
Orange say you can't stop this happening. Does anyone know any trick to stop this (there is no way to keep the GPRS off as there was on my old Touch)
Be grateful for any help

As I said to the person who asked the same question a few days ago *sigh*, google nodata

You need to check how your phone is connecting.
AFAIK the orange ROM uses the unique manager not the normal HTC connection manager.
This means you dont really have a WiFi connection. Orange unique is their VOIP(??) implementation.
If you have a livebox and orange as your ISP your phone will automatically switch to using your WiFi connection for phone calls saving you money, the downside is you cant use wifi for anything else.
The only way to sort it is buy flashing a different ROM.
Orange Unique ----http://www.business.orange.co.uk/services/broadband/unique-for-business/

Hi
Thanks for the info. Been trying to sort out with Orange and same answer - disable GPRS and the WiFi stops as well !!! (One of the Orange guys even admitted that it was because they don't make money on voice now, only data). The 'nodata' fix doesn't work as it also stops the WiFi. Any thoughts on which ROM I might flash?
Thanks for your help

I'm actually an Orange employee, working for Handset Faults, and looking to solve this for a customer.
There is a rom update available from HTC, which apparently fixes this, however the customer I'm trying to resolve this for, has tried updating and his serial number shows as no available ROM.
I don't think the No-data resolution will work, so hoping if theres any other solutions you guys could suggest?
I know on my current HS, which is a Hermes, I've the communication manager, which i believe isn't available on the Touch 3G, unless debranded.
Really, I'm just trying to get more advice, so would appreciate anyone's tried and tested work-around, as i've to call said customer back tomorrow, with hopefully a resolution, but if not, then he'll have to wait till a ROM update becomes available from HTC/Orange for branded handsets.

I found a solution to this problem last night that works for me on my Touch 3G with Orange.
Enter Unique Manager - Advanced Settings - Network Adapter - My Network Card Connects to - and ensure they're all set to connect to The Internet.
I have also setup a Block GPRS connection under Settings - Connections - Conections which stop GPRS connecting and can now connect via Wifi no problem.

Thanks for this - going to give it a try but when i go into Settings - Connections for the second part of your fix, where do I go next (I can't find Conections which stop GPRS connecting)
Thanks

Thanks Bob,
Will copy this and put it on my phone somehow!
Thank you very much for the advice!

Did you manage to make it work?

Unfortunately, the customer cancelled their upgrade and got another handset before trying this.
Shame really!
Thanks for the help though!

I've no suggestions tbh, cause I don't own a Touch 3G, I personally run a Hermes.
I'm actually trying to follow this up, and check what Bob meant by blocking GPRS on it.
Also, would you chaps be so kind to advise me if GPS under the HTC Touch 3G uses GPRS to connect, or does it use Satelittes like a normal GPS?
Just another question my customer asked today.
Thank you,

The GPS will use the satelitte to get a signal (just like proper SatNavs), but if there's an A-GPS feature, it will use a tiny bit of GPRS to speed up the process.
It'll then use the GPRS (if enabled) to download maps for the local area if it there isn't a map already installed on the handset.
That's why it's always a good idea to disable GPRS when roaming, at £8/mb- it's a pricey thing to use.
However, you can normaly download maps using WiFi before you leave (if you know where you'll be going), which will save time and money on using the network for data.
I get asked that question alot too (I work for them too, in NT1- First Impressions)

It will use the GPRS for the GPS locator if you leave A-GPS selected. Fortunately you can disable A-GPS to stop this happening.
Interestingly, I can't find any real difference in the speed of 'finding' satalites between standard GPS and A-GPS.

Thanks for the advice guys.
So any ideas how to fully block GPRS traffic outgoing, unless wanted? So its WIFI only when my customer is at home?

No further movement on this one...
Anyone got any ideas, how to utilise the WIFI facility switching the Unique Phone part off, and blocking GPRS traffic?
Thank you,

NoData works on fone.......BUT
Hi I got my touch 3g couple days ago its on orange contract brilliant fone apart from cannot connect to wifi as you all know it still connects thru gprs so I downloaded Nodata installed on fone disabled gprs with it. So good so far switched on wifi thru unique manager then checked that data connection was still off and it was BRILLIANT I shouted.
My wifi was connected to my hub and data connection was off woo hoo
Started web browser and lo an behold Get the message "cannot connect with current connection settings"
As far as I am led to believe at the present time there is no way round this problem apart from installing a clean version of windows but if I am mistaken please tell me how to get around this problem.
Cheers Biggles
HTC touch Dual An a HTC touch 3G

I have the Touch 3g with Orange - but thanks to the guys on this forum I got rid of the Orange branding/mess by using a 'stock' rom and I am not now using Orange Unique. Then I did the following........but not sure if it works with the Orange Unique stuff.
As far I as I can see there is no explict way of turning GPRS off - if it is set up then it will connect to it when a program requests data. I have unlimited internet on my home network but I need to turn GPRS off when roaming abroad so I don't get charged silly amounts.
I found that the only way I can guarantee to stop the phone using GPRS is to change the name of the Access Point Name - then it cannot connect to the service. On my phone (a Touch 3g) it is under Settings, Connections, Connections, Manage Existing Connections - then edit the connection details. On mine it is Orange Internet - so edit this and get to the Access Point Name - which is orangeinternet in my case - i just take away a few letters at the end and save the settings.
At this point GPRS will not work because the Access Point Name is not correct and you will get a message from any program trying to access the internet if wifi is not enabled. To get it to work again just edit the Access Point Name back to what it was. In my case I do not have to switch the phone off/on - I can just change the Access Point Name at anytime and it works or dosn't as I require.
Hope this helps.

Hi,
With Orange Unique there isn't any "Manage Existing Connections" that I can find - just addding new modem or VPN? Am I in the right place?
Thanks

for the benefit of people who may be subscribed to this thread, I think I have found a fix for the orange rom using data connection instead of wifi, read on here:-

help please, connection data plan

hi guys. i have one big problem, my opera, nimbuzz and others aren't connecting on edge, 3g or hsdpa, while internet explorer, weather have no problem at all. at home on wifi there is no problem, but that is all about , portability, no? i do have a data plan, and i haven't got this problem on my topaz. i'm on orange romania, and orange guys give me some bull**** theory that i need fixed not dynamic ip, witch is payd. can someone please help me with that?

Had similar problems in the past and it was the "connection setup" sending me through a t-mobile proxy rather than "straight out"...
Try:
Settings / Wireless Controls / Menu / Connections / "Set up my Proxy Server"
Remove the tick box next to the proxy server and ok the screens - has worked for me in the past (i'm on t-mobile UK).
Just in case make a note of the proxy settings so you can put them back if you have too !!!

A bit off topic, but does anybody know how to disable 3g connection on the HD2. There's no slider in the comm manager like I had on my diamond.
Would it be possible to install a different comm manager.

still not
thanks for advice, but tried that and still nothing. very weird, opera mini works over edge

3g
there is for above question about 3g a prog commanager8 or something like that enables you 8 tabs in wireless manager, including 3g one

go to settings>connections>advanced network> and then choose the GPRS tab and choose either pap or chap. it might work that way.

no luck
no luck this way either. i don't know what this could be. i forgot to mention that i bought my hd2 from expansys uk, but i don't think this could cause a problem using it in romania, it is unlocked from carrier
