MDA connects to GPRS only when synced...weird - Networking

Woke up in the morning and found MDA unable to connect via GPRS... keeps trying but cant connect.
-Checked ALL the settings
-Soft Reset/ Took Battery Out/ Took sim card out
-Hard reset
WILL NOT CONNECT TO GPRS
but connects to the net and am able to connect and check mail when connected to my PC via active sync...
can someone explain this to me...
T-mobile MDA support told me to have sim card tested at local store in another device...
please help

i would check if settings->connections->connections->advanced->select network
was set to my ips or something to that effect
could be that your isp use it's name as setting or something
if it's set to my network or something like that it will only use activesync as connection

it's set to Tmobile data....

I've got the same trouble with my HERMES200...
my operator is Tele2 Russia
other operators work fine
just switching apn from internet.tele2.ru to other right for oher operator...
If there hidden registry keys for modem configuration?
P.S. icq clients are working!!! and some sites like www.yandex.ru & tele2.ru
its very strange...
on other phones my simcard works great with gprs!
P.P.S. Sorry for my english

Strange GRPS problem with Qtek9000

Hello,
I'm having problem with GRPS on my Qtek 9000.
All the settings are ok, as they are checked on Nokia/Sony Ericcson/IPAQ
We have 6 Qtek 9000 and they all are having the same problem.
When we setup grps and try to connect with IE it just trying to connect and after wile he tells that he is having some problems.
All sim cards as mentioned up are ok and tested to be working for GRPS, on HP IPAQ 6515 GRPS is tested and working ok.
As we determined it seems like he is not trying even to "dial out", when I setup Cellular line to dialout some phone number that also doesn succeed. We tried also with original ROM and the same problems apper
Any idea what could be the problem???

Not an error message I am familiar with. :roll:
This is the error message that I get every time:
Cannot connect for an unknown reason. To check your connection settings and change them if needed, tap Settings. If the problem continues, reset your mobile device according to your manufacturer's documentation and try again.
We tried soft reset and hard reset no changes
When have been done one stupid test.
PC speakers when you are connecting with IPAQ you hear the sound on speakers that he is "dialing out"
when you try with qtek nothing as he is even not trying to dial out
Well if your settings are correct and they are entered under the "My ISP" connections and not "My Work Network" and the correct GPRS settings are selected under My ISP->Manage Existing connections. I've no ideas other than to check
Settings->Network Card has My Network Card connects to: the Internet
When I go to:
Settings>Connections>Network Cards>Tab Network adapters
My network card connects to:
The Internet
Tap an adapter to modify ....
Do I need to change something from these settings????
---------------
UPDATE:
When I changed to:
My network card connects to:
Work
Applyed and soft reset
I got the G sign but still no sucess to connect
No it should be internet.
Have you checked that under Settings->Connections->Manage Existing Connections that the correct operator is selected if you have more than one set of GPRS settings.
Do you know if your network uses PAP or CHAP if not try changing to the other one under Settings->Connections->GPRS Setting
Have you tried a 3G sim ?
Other than that nothing I can suggest.
Good luck
When I perform hard reset
Is says work and now i changed to The internet
Well the settings are tryed on the phone and IPAQ everything work well
3G+ Bosnia = NOT GONNA HAPPEN IN 100 years
Authentication is PAP
and there is no username and password nor domain name

Solved my GPRS re-connect problem

Many of you on this bb has a problem that GPRS doesn't re-connect and you have to reset or turn flight mode on/off to get connected again.
Here is what I did and mine has now been working for 3-4 weeks as it should be working. Shows to me that none of the software like Wisbar, Pocket Plus etc is causing it.
In SETTINGS/CONNECTIONS, under CONNECTIONS I have My ISP and My Work Network. Under both I used to have WAP, where it will use GPRS to connect. I have deleted the WAP GPRS option under My Work Network, to have nothing under Modem Connection, I only have WAP GPRS under My ISP in the Modem Connection.
Also, I used to have my work's settings in VPN, which I have also taken out. When I activesync via GPRS, my phone used to connect to the GPRS server and then tried to connect to VPN. After that I couldn't re-connect with GPRS.
After I have done the above, my phone now connects flawlessly everytime using the actievsync mobile schedule and when connecting manually.
O yes, I also run GB-Soft's GPRS tweak which can be found at http://www.GB-Soft.cz/XDAII
Well I was very sceptical about this. But I too deleted the WAP settings under Work and in the last month I haven't been unable to connect once.
So either this works or O2 have solved a problem with their network (I did not have the problem last winter in Singapore, Malaysia, or Australia iirc.)
The only other difference to my setup is that I now use Activesync 4.2 rather than 3.x
I am on Vodacom in South Africa, and what I have done above works for me. I only reboot my phone now to clear memory to free up some or when I need to run my GPS software, then I reboot to give it as much memory as possible.
I posted a solution that works for me, use, don't use it, up to you.
Hey, I was saying thanks - I believe it works

Sorry, my mistake, this part was confusing, as it looks like you couldn't connect.
Yes,
"I have always been able to connect first time" would have been a lot better than the double negative :lol:

8125 wifi (please help)

Hi,
I just purchased the htc 8125 from cingular at full retail WITHOUT a plan
for use on my trips to Hong Kong using my sim card from a Hong Kong
provider.
While in the USA I would like to use the 8125 to access the internet without
a sim card installed and without cingular service. Wifi does recognize available
networks but I cant open any web pages.
Can you please tell me how to configure the phone to do this. I believe it is
by default programmed to use cingular's access services but I want to configure it to work as a stand alone device similar to a laptop looking for wifi signals to connect to the web.
Please help! Thank you.
David
WiFi is not configured to be used with anything of cingular...WiFi is a standalone feature in the PDA...the reason that you couldn't see a web page could possibly mean that the network you connected to had a WEP encryption...u must connect to an open network in order for it to work...
try this
I have been having problems with my wifi too...the only way that I can get it to work is to say the wifi connects to 'work' and to say that programs connecting to the internet should connect using 'My Work Network'
Turn on your WiFi
Start->Settings->'Connections' tab->WiFi or Network Cards->tap the network you want to use->under 'connects to:' chose: 'Work'->next->next->finish->ok
Start->Settings->'Connections' tab-> Connections->'Advanced' tab->programs connecting to the internet should connect using: 'My Work Network'->ok
hope this will work for you and if anyone knows how I can get around having to change this every time I want to go from GPRS to WiFi I would be much appreciated.
Haha - I just found it...someone else just posted it

Problem connecting GPRS on t-mobile MDA

hi, i just got a t-mobile MDA vario. its working arite on my operator but the only problem im facing is that it doesnt connects with my operator's GPRS. ive tried using another operator but still im unable to connect or browse thru it. Their CSR told me to get it reinstalled with an i-mate kjam configurations.
can sumbody help me out with it???
tx
Since you say T-mobile MDA vario i am assuming your using T-mobile Uk, all you need to do is create a new connection and enter general.t-mobile.uk as ur APN and then connect, no other settings needed. leave the username and password blank...
Start>Settings>Connections>Connections> Add a new modem connection (under my isp)> type in a connection name e.g My Connection select Cellular line (GPRS) as your modem> type the apn > blank username and pass> click connect and your done!!
hope that helps !
hey thx for the reply buddy, although i have a t-mobile mda vario but as i mentioned that im not using t-mobile services. I'm not even in uk is there any possibility that the gprs in this one is only compatible with t-mobile??? or is there anyother solution?
look on the ftp maybe for the extended roms of the imate or you can go online and lookup the settings that you would put into the connection part of the phone in the control panel.
who is your provider
Try hard resetting the device and try to connect again.
This has worked for me in the past when I had problems connecting.
im in pakistan. and i've configured my handset according to their settings but it's isnt working. i've checked with another operator but its of no use either.
can you please pass me the ftp link???
hard resetting goes like???
im a newbie
ok im done with the hard resetting, but its of no use in this case. where can i get ROM for its imate equivalent??
what if i have t-mobile mda in us what apn would i put?
knock knock... can somebody throw some light n help me out of it

Internet connection issue

Hi all!
I'm having a very strange issue with my Internet connection on the niki.
I have configured the default Internet connection (the one without VPN and Proxy config) to use the ISP parameters to connect to GPRS.
It connects but it's not working (I tried to navigate with IE but got error opening page).
So I created a new connection (in this case I could set up a proxy, but I left empty), with the same ISP config, selected it as the network to be use automatically to connect to internet, and it works very well.
Any idea about this strange behaviour?
Thanks!!!!
Alex
