I have an 6955 with Rogers and every time I try and connect through Edge or Gprs, it says "cannot connect for an unknown reason. etc."
It does wifi fine, gps, etc. I can send txt messages, call people. Everything is great, but GPRS never works. I even see the big "E" saying there's an Edge network.
All my settings are correct. I even went to Rogers and they went through my settings and they're stumped. I even hard reset the phone to see if this would fix it.
Just annoyed cause I got a data plan and I can't even use it.
Anyone see anything like this? Thanks.
try the phone data manager tool thats on the phone to automatically detect your settings, the quickstart cd also has an update tool to upload the settings applet if they have changed, I can't remember where this applet is on the phone since mine is currently out for repairs, but its a blue icon within settings
I tried that, I'm stumped. I even brought it into Rogers and got them to mess with the settings and they couldn't get it working.
The "E" for edge is on, but it can't connect.
Everything else works great, gps, calling, txt, etc.

Ok... what the hell. I'm just minding my own business, using my 8125 on and off, on gprs/edge and wifi.
I probably reset it twice during the day, for whatever reasons, installing .Net compact etc. .Net didn't cause this, because I was using it for hours after that.
So I go to see why my wifi suddenly doesnt work, and all my connections were reset! It was back to just the cingular default stuff, none of my customized Rogers gprs were there that I could see. And now I can't get wifi to work worth ****. Oh it will connect to an AP, but I cant surf and cant use wifitunes (which was working great).
What happened?
Everything else seems fine, my apps all still work, I'm using the stock 8125 ROM that came with the device.
Oh, and let me register my disgust with the "Connections" settings, how do you even USE that? Don't get me wrong, I work in IT, i'm not an idiot. I configured all my gprs settings, had wifi surfing at work through a proxy etc. etc. But it seems everytime I go to the connections settings there are different "connections" showing. What's the correlation?
Another reason I left the Windows IT world to work on Macs... I just want to have my "wifi" settings, my "gprs" settings, and know exactly what each is doing. Otherwise I'm flailing all over the place in Network Management, Connections, Network Cards..
Ok, I just moved from San Diego back to Mobile, AL and just before I left, my gprs web stopped working. I could still go to tzones but no internet or modem use.
Now, as soon as I moved to AL it all worked again (yay) but....
just yesterday it all came crashing down again; same problem
I can "connect" to the gprs/edge and it will access tzones but when i try to load a PIE page or go to google maps, weatherbar, etc, it will not connect. IE will give the error
"page cannot be displayed or downloaded because the connection was lost. Check the conection and then try again."
the wireless modem part also no longer works. pc says "connected" but I get no data rx
did tmo fry our free internet finally? if so, how did it follow me? lol
PLEASE HELP ME ON THIS ONE
just let me know if all my efforts will be and are fruitless
ive already hard reset my phone of course to no avail.... anyone?

Mine used to play up on O2 this way - same message as you are getting, until I discovered a better port number. I also have found that maybe every 5 months something goes wrong and it will say "connecting" forever. This can only be sorted by deleting the network card and re-entering the settings. You would think, since they are identical to the last set I put in, that it still would not work - not so, just putting them all back in sorts it.
Another problem I faced initially was that the internet published settings for O2 were not correct on 90% of sites. I had to contact a fellow O2 user to get him to go through his settings which were different from the published ones.
Of course this may have absolutely nothing to do with your problem.

So, I can't seem to find anyone that can help me. I have an 8525 with the official WM6 release. In December, a month after installing WM6, IE stopped being able to access webpages.
Whenever it starts, it loads the default AT&T/Windows Mobile home screen. If I click either of those links or type in a desired web address, it creates a data connection (sometimes 3G, sometimes edge), says "connecting...", locating... opening... and nothing loads. The screen stays white. I know that my data connection works fine, as I can use google maps, live mobile and send/receive e-mail. I'm not sure where the problem is, but I assume it is a setting issue. A couple days ago, I performed a hard reset and still encountered the problem. I have verified that my settings are per AT&T's posted recommendation.
Any suggestions would be appreciated!
Thanks!
I should also note that if I connect to a WIFI signal, IE works, so it is definitely a settings issue. I just can't seem to figure out how to correct it and I haven't been able to find anyone who could help either. Any assistance would be appreciated!
thank you
I have the same exact problem. I solved it by installing Opera, which works fine.
Try looking in start>settings>connections>connections
then advanced tab
go to select networks
on the first drop down, make sure you have at&t's media net selected.
Hope that helps
My Wing randomly reset yesterday, deleting all my contacts, texts, custom settings, etc.
After re-syncing it to my Outlook and personalizing my settings, i tried to set up emails. I usually connect to the internet using the wifi because i dont have a plan. I successfully connected to my network at my house however the phone doesnt recognize the internet.
I can't set up an email or use IE. Webpages pretend to load but it just stays at the tmobile default homepage.
I somehow managed to receive a picture text last night but since then I have not been able to send or receive any.
Before the random reset, if wifi was not on and i tried use IE, the edge would try to connect. This doesnt happen anymore.
In the Comm Manager I can not enable or disable the data connection. Tapping it is unresponsive
Ive been messing with all my Connection settings, but nothing seems to work, even when i soft reset in between changes.
Another problem i ran into was when i tried to follow steps to set up the MMS, under MMS options>Servers I had T-Mobile MMS there however under the "Connect via" drop down in the settings there is nothing selected and nothing to choose from.
Anyone know what i can do?
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.
