lost GPRS/EDGE/UMTS/HSDPA Connection - Networking

From time to time I lose my GPRS/EDGE/UMTS/HSDPA connection (when there is no permanent ip traffic) but my System (HTC X7500 with WM6) says it is connected.
With the FdcSoft TaskManager I can see that I totaly lose my IP number/Netmask (no entry).
New reconnection is not possible,only a SoftReset solves the Problem.
Possible my gsm internet provider (Austria A1) disconnect my ip-connection and my htc does not know that it is disconnected.
Is there a solution for this problem.
Is there a way to restart/reset the cellular line part of the ip-connection without soft reset?
If there gives no direct solution does someone know a way that the internet connection (over gsm) will be disconnected automatically after switch off the ppc?
Because if the connection was disconnected - connect to the internet is possible without soft rest.

Problem with reconnecting with GPRS

I find that if I leave a GPRS connection on when I'm finished accessing the internet and it gets disconnected because of network problems, that I have to soft-reset the machine to reconnect. Manually disconnecting after each session solves the problem but makes GPRS less always-on. Though I've found GPRS rarely keeps the connection for long periods. Anybody else come across this problem?
BTW I'm using PPC 2002
Re-connecting GPRS
I find the same issue. When connected to a GPRS session and I either make or receive a call I lose the GPRS connection but need to do a soft boot before re-establishing a GPRS session. I have reied everything but no joy. I think a ROM upgtade is due in Jan but not sure if this will address this problem. Let me know if you have solve it.

Why can't some apps establish a gprs/umts connection ?

When I use total commander's ftp client to connect to an ftp server , total commander itself is not able to establish a gprs/umts connection. I must already be connected (for example open pocket ie before I start ftp) to get it to work. This strange behavior I have also seen in other applications (i.e. pocketirc cannot connect to an irc server if I don't start pocket IE before). Why is that so ? And what can I do about it ?
I had the same problem when I started using ThunderHawk. I had to open Pocket IE to get a connection, close it and then open ThunderHawwk.
Using the always-on GPRS in the wiki (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Universal_Registry) solved that issue for me.
Hopefully, that will work for ftp, as well. Let us know.

what does that always on registry hack REALLY do ? Does that mean my phone will have a constant GPRS connection ? Does that not mean I must not forget to disconnect manually when I close the phone? Will that not increase the traffic ?
It is kind of an all or nothing deal. If you have ANY programs that can access GPRS data, this hack will allow it. Also, be aware that if you manually disconnect, the connection will automatically re-establish 5-10 sec later while using this hack.
As an example, I use PocketWeather, which I have setup to update every hour. It will update using GPRS if it is not Activesync-ing, every single hour of every day. If you have to pay for data by the amount used, it may not be attractive. I have an unlimited use plan through T-mobile USA for $20/month, so I just don't have to worry.
Other than this hack, I believe you will have to connect the hard way.
Strangely enough, my old PDA phone (hp 6315) would connect just fine with ThunderHawk. It also had a choice under the taskbar 'Connectivity' pop-up bubble for 'GPRS (T-Mobile)' that I could use to easily connect or disconnect. My Jasjar only lists 'T-Zones GPRS (GPRS, 3G)' in the pop-up only when it is connected. So, I suspect that the issue is either with WM5 or T-Mobile added something to the ROM of the 6315 to make it more functional with their network.

i780 GPRS connection issues with some applications

I am using Samsung i780 and have issue with some applications.
Most of applications work over GPRS and over WIFI without any issues: Internet Explorer, Opera, ActiveSync and Google Maps. These applications can both: initiate and use existing GPRS connection - I guess they use Connection Manager API.
But some applications do not work over GPRS
Metatrader 4 Mobile, PocketPutty - they can connect over existing WIFI connection, but not over existing GPRS connection, they also do not try to initiate GPRS connection.
PocketPutty is not "connection manager aware" (I know that from forum). About metatrader I could not find any information.
I tried many different settings in connection manager, but they could not solve this issue.
I have also tried to reflash my i780 with "WM6.1 WWE ROM - V3.3XG RELOADED" but this didn't help with my issue.
NOTE: On my i600 metatrader 4 mobile worked over gprs without any issues.
Maybe there is a magic registry setting or something? Maybe there is something I am doing wrong?
I am using Orange PL 3G/HSDPA connection.
Could somebody help me, please?
Accidentaly I have found a workaround which I do not understand.
When I change in connection manager
From:
Internet: My ISP
Work: My Work Network
To:
Internet: My Internet
Work: My Work Network
something strange happens:
GPRS connection is automatically established after powering on the phone (as with prev settings)
But IE is unable to resolve domain names, metatrader is unable to connect (on prev settings IE works)
When I disconnect my connection, and connect again opening page in IE. IE opens this page and metatrader suddenly connects! (meta trader never connects on prev settings)
I have no idea what's happening.
I found workaround which I completely do not understand .
Internet: My ISP
Work: My Work Network
I have added modem connection to My ISP.
This changed, that after power-up internet explorer works.
Next step is: go to connection manager and disconnect data connection (using HTC connection manager - not data call manager).
Then: connect to the internet using internet explorer or active sync
Now run metatrader - it works.
My questions:
Why is does it work while other configuration do not work?
Why do I have to disconnect data connection? - it is connecting first time using exactly the same connection settings!
How can I make this work in a civilized way?
UPDATE: PocketPutty also works after this workaround

[Q] Prevent data connection disconnect on standby

Hello!
is there any way to prevent data connection disconnect, when I press the off button?
This is very annoying, when connection has to be reestablished every time, when I use it.
Modaco nodata. It prevents the connection through GPRS and you can choose when to enable or disable it.
I don't want to disable gprs connection. I want it to _stay connected_ when I put my device on standby. Unfortunately everytime I do it, gprs connection is dropped.
Maybe it's just ROM/Radio issue (I've branded device - Plus Poland) or all HTC Touch2 have this problem? Can sameone confirm that?
