I have had my O2 XDA Exec for about 4 weeks now and it really is the business but!! I am having real problems connecting to my Pc using the supplied usb cable. I have also tried using other cables and still no connection. Sometimes it connects and is fine sometimes it connects and then dissconnects itself after a few moments and sometimes it just won't connect at all. Is there anyone else out there who has experienced this problem? Is my handset faulty? Please help.....
Disable ALL your firewalls before connecting your Universal to sync. In my case, I used to be able to sync even when my firewalls are all ON. But after trying the latest I-Mate upgrade, my Exec ALWAYS failed to connect to perform active syn if ANY of my firewalls are ON. Someone said he fixed this dillema by REFORMATTING the computer. But I am not willing to do this at this point, too much work. So I just turn OFF all my firewalls before I connect my EXEC for active sync to connect without any problems. I also found out BT active sync works fine even with the firewalls ON. So it is up to you to decide which way you want to go.
Thanks cktlcmd the fire walls on my Pc are off are there any on the XDA itself? Forgive the inexperienced newbie question...

YES, the firewalls on your PC are what I mwant. The Exec has no firewalls.
My o2 wapflat ist working fine most times. and i use pushemail trough this also. but sometimes the gprs connection im using 24 hours a day shows that is is connected but no more sync or even internet works. if i try to reconnect i dont even get a connection to gprs. Only a softrest does help.
Can somebody help?
P.s. I did not install the crappy o2 software from ext.rom
Hallo Sebi
Cannot help you much, only report that with Base flat and Cortado Direct Push I experience no such problems. If GPRS signal is lost out of coverage the device automatically reconnects, and the device never shows GPRS running when in fact there is no connection. Maybe there is a GPRS sensitivy setting in the registry, but I can only speculate. Good luck.
I think the problem is comming from phonealarm. i just get the new beta an know the problem is gone.
This happen since I was using Atom last year, I have changed to Atom Exec and now Atom Life, the problem is still existing in all version of Atoms.
My Atoms were no problem to connect to GPRS/EDGE, Internet Browsing, Email and O2 Connect were working perfectly. When I ever connect them to a wifi access point (wifi connection also ok for all kind of applications), after wifi was turn off, the GPRS/EDGE is not working any more, the symptom as follow
1. O2 Connect cannot establish the GPRS connection automatically
2. PIE cannot browse any website or takes very long time to show up the website.
3. PIE can still browse website with ip address (ie. http://123.123.123.123), page will be display almost instant
4. Soft Reset cannot fixed this problem
5. Only way to fixed this problem is delete all the wifi profiles and make a soft reset. Of course Hard Reset can fixed this problem too.
6. If a full system backup after the problem happened, Hard Reset and after restore the problem will come back again.
7. In some unknown situation, the problem will be gone even don't have delete the wifi profiles.
Hope somebody can give me some hints how to fix it.
Many thanks!
Does atom and atom exec has 3G and Gprs/edge in it, as in official site it is not mentioned?
Atom and Atom Exec has no 3G. They top out at EDGE. ROT - 3G is a popular feature, and marketers will jump at the chance to say their phone can connect to it. If it is not mentioned, it definitely doesn't have that feature.
As for the PIE issue - try using an alternative browser, like Opera. I think Microsoft left out the Autodetect Proxy Settings when they ported IE to PPC. -.-

Atom and Atom Exec only support GPRS/EDGE, no 3G or HSDPA.
Anyone know if the Trinity can seamlessly switch between WLAN and GPRS depending on network availability? I know the Imate PDA2K can - see http://www.geekzone.co.nz/content.asp?contentid=3460

Yeah, it works, but it really depends on how you have your device setup and the ROM that you are running as to how the switch over behaves.
Up until the Radio ROM V1.38, I'd say this worked well, but with the new HTC, and custom ROM's with 1.38 and 1.41 Radio, it is a bit of a pain.
As is the norm with WM5, GPRS is on all the time, and in the absence of an Activesync or WLAN connection, will happily use GPRS. Turning on WLAN should make the data flow via that, but I now find that while GPRS is on, often nothing happens at all when I turn on the WiFi, as if both connections are deferring to each other. It often needs me to disconnect the GPRS connection before WiFi cuts in.
Turning WiFI off again seems to be OK- the GPRS connection re-establishes as needed.

The WLan problem is the reason that I haven't yet tried the new cooked roms. I'm still using the Dopod Test ROM along with the new 1.41 radio. My Trinity runs very well and everything works. GPRS is on...I can connect to Wifi, that works, connect to laptop via activesync, that works, disconnect activesync, then wifi works, disconnect Wifi, then GPRS works. I have also never had a problem with TomTom hanging, and most importantly my 4gb TopRam miniSD works flawlessly. Of course after all of the blah blah about memory cards, I'm wondering how long it will work...we'll see. I'm using the perfomance tweaks, the ATIfix and the bass fix.

Same thing here with the latest original HTC FRA ROM.
Same also with my Qtek9100.
The only thing I could not manage yet in the Trinity is to set up an automatic shutdown (disconnect) of the GPRS/UMTS data connection after a given time of no use to save the battery life.

Thats interesting!
I still had the same problem as mentioned above with the latest official HTC ROM. I had thought it was the Radio version, but as yours is OK, perhaps it is a hardware issue local to my device? My release Orange ROM worked fine though (but I had to get rid of teh horrid Orange stuff, some of which is in the ROM itself rather than the Ext_ROM)

I use this little app to turn off my connection and change between radio modes. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=286844&highlight=bandswitch

I don't think it is a hardware problem. The thing is, I'm not usning an official HTC rom, it is a Dopod test rom that came out even before the first official Dopod GPS rom. I use it because since everything works, there was no reason to go looking for trouble . I've updated the radio to 1.41 and applied the performance tweaks, the atifix and bass fix. I remember at the time that the official Dopod and HTC rom came out that several people went back to the test rom because of stability, radio, and miniSD card issues. That being said I can't wait to try the new WM6 Trinity rom!

Very nice application...
Band switch + time limit to come back to gprs.
I did not read the whole topic yet... I will try the soft today.
Thanks a lot Matterhorn
Edit: Installed and tested. Really great and helpfull tool.
Currently I have 1.11 installed, everything seems okay. Only the radio signal that giving a problem. Especially on gprs connection it quite often disconnected. Strange thing is when I plug the battery charge gprs connection was run fine, never disconnect.
solved the problem...how to delete my post.
post a request for an admin here, once they see it they'll trash it.
