My x1 changed my time setting, but when I receive txt msgs, the received time is one hour ahead.. as if it thinks the time of the txt I'm receiving hasn't been adjusted. Is that in my network service? Emails are ok.
Yes I think it's a bug. It seems the DST are set to US rules, but then if you are connected to an european network, it will automacically correct the time correction

Hi all..
I have tried to find the answer here already , but is there any way to get the XDA to check emails every XX minutes , and actually make the GPRS connection unattended... so it is checking email automatically at certain intervals......cant seem to get it to autoconnect at regular intervals...
I was under the impression that GPRS could be always on , but that seems impossible , so autoconnect would be the next best thing
any info appreciated

I have now had 2 months of bills and I have noticed a large amount of unothorised GPRS calls always at exactly midnight to the second. They are not regularly every night or same day a week but it is very worrying as I am not connecting the XDA2 to the internet or sending emails at that time of night.
What is happening?? Why is my XDA2 making these calls? I am also getting wierd emails being bounced back to me by companies firewalls that I have never sent, nor have I ever sent emails to them.
Do I have a virus on my XDA? If so it was there from day one as these calls have occured since GPRS activation. How do I get rid of it?
sounds like u got a worm.
maybe ur mail prgram connects evey night to check 4 new emails, an to send some out, you should check that out, its only a guess.
After studying my bills it is not every night that the XDA is connecting, which is why I am confused. But since it has been doing it I have been receiving a huge increase in spam emails.
Please help
Check if you have any programs running in task manager that require GPRS access at all. Then check those programs to see if they have any "auto-update" or "scheduled download" features active. If not, try Network Services on 100 from the handset. It's free from the handset, may take a long time to get through but they may be able to track down where the usage is coming from. Good luck, let me know how it goes

I doubt it's a worm or a virus, what I think might be happening is:
The XDA (and all pocketPCs, because of some over simplistic design) wakes up at midnight to "roll on" appointments and alarms etc.
Your XDA's mail inbox is set up to connect and check for mail periodically.
Your PC is off overnight.
So the XDA wakes up at midnight, tries to check for mail, can't use internet passthrough, and then dials GPRS.
The spam originating from your email accounts is probably due to you posting on a newsgroup or web forum that allows emails to be scraped, most spammers use these as "from" addresses to try and hide thier identity - I get a lot of them myself, nothing one can do about it really.
hi all,
i got a very annoying "feature" in the O2 Cosmo(T-Mobile Dash). The incoming call will be blocked(heard busy tone) if the GPRS is in transmission. I was complained by many friends.
To my understanding, there's a setting in some phones to enable both GSM/GPRS concurrent connections. Is there such setting in Windows Mobile?
My ROM is 1.13.207.2, RADIO is 4.1.13.28_02.63.90
i tried to refersh its ROM, but don't know how to CID unlock. the "RUU_Excalibur_SPL-1.11_UpgradeOnly.exe" on the server has no luck for me, still "Invalid model ID".
can anythone show light on me?
thank you

I think microsoft released a patch for that: i'll try find it on google for you. can you explain what configuration you used?
I think the 'patch' you need is called 3G.
I have the exact same problem and I opened a thread on it as well.
Read here.
The conclusion we reached was that this is a network, not phone dependent problem.
yeah never happent to me ever
thanks for all the replies.
My previous phone is O2 XDA Mini S(Wizard). I used that one to receive push mail provided by GoodLink, which requires GPRS always on. I didn't have such issue with that, at least no complain from my friends.
That's why i am wondering something wrong with the RADIO configuration. I didn't make any specific change to my new O2 XDA Cosmo(Excalibur).
best regards
And back to my memory.
I used to have the classical Ericsson T39. There was a setting to enable GSM incoming call during GPRS transmission(cannot remember the exact name). By enable that, i can still receive incoming call, and the GPRS connection will auto resume after the call.
Is there similar setting for Windows Mobile?
There is not as far as I've ever known. I've used smartphones that determined which was blocked and which was not based on which application was in use at the time. That is, if you were actively using IE or some other network app, phone calls would go straight to voice mail. If a non-network app was front and center at the time, the network would be disconnected and the phone would ring. That (and the SE settings mentioned above which I saw on my SE phones too) showed that it was a phone setting made by the carrier. I'd hope there's a little more intelligence behind it than just "voice trumps network" but if there is, I couldn't tell you what determines which gets through and when.
I've found that it's based on the amount of data being transmitted at the time of the (attempted) call. For example, high-bandwith usage such as media streaming will lead to the incoming phone call being blocked/diverted most of the time, whereas sporadic usage (eg. PING, or loading a very simple web page) has allowed a call to come in, temporarily disabling GPRS. GPRS can never be used during a phone call.
Hi I am on Vodafone UK.
I need to clarify what my SMS setting should be.
ie under start, settings, menu, all settings, connections, advanced network, SMS service,
what should the 'SMS over' setting be
GSM
GPRS
GPRS preferred
or GSM preferred?
Hi I have mine on Virgin UK and its set to GSM preferred mate
damn! not the answer i wanted.
I am having trouble with incoming text messages and I phoned up HTC and they said it should be on GSM ie this option will fix it.
But obviously not as it was on GSM preferred before.
Hi, I'm GSM preferred on Vodafone.
When people were trying to work around the original SMS bug there was talk of changing from GSM preferred to GSM. This seemed to work for some people. Try it and see, you can always go back.

Thanks for that,
But the issue i am having is that some income messages are not arriving on my phone. the problem is intermittent.
I phoned up vodafone and they said the message has been delivered 'onnet'
On net meaning that my phone has 'notified' vodafone that the message has been received.
How I cannot 'see' this message that has arrived.
Do you the above will still solve it then?
Intermittent incoming missed texts were also noted by some who had the original SMS bug. The trouble with these things is that the problem is intermittent so proving anything (including rolling up your trouser leg and hopping round the room 3 times) fixes it can take time. Try it and see (the GSM option, hopping round the room is a less scientific fix ).
As a side thought, have you gone into traditional mode to see if the text is actually in your inbox (unlikley but maybe worth a look).
What ROM as you on? does it contain HTC's SMS bug fix?
Just seen your post from yesterday where you said you are on 1.66. Funny how no one responded to that one for you and I didn't even see it til 5 minutes ago. This forum exhibits much weirdness sometimes.
Is anyone else experiencing this? I'm on tmobile..stock jellybean and stock texting app.
sometimes the MMS will go right away..sometimes they will sit for days..and then i send (or recieve) one from someone and suddenly the floodgates open all my 'stuck' MMS messages go.
i dont know this is a defect..or maybe something quirky about tmobile's network..but it seems to happen about once a week the messages get backed up like this.
never had a problem with SMS..i dont think.
Not sure why but i've had that too. The other night sending to my friend on T-Mobile it wouldn't go for hours then i resent it some 9hrs later and it worked fine. I don't think it's a N4 problem per say as i've had that with my SGS2 also. Maybe it's a ROM thing or just carrier issue but wish it wouldn't be so!
I got this experience with MMS:
- when on WiFi than impossible to send;
- only when on Data transfer MMS is send.
Try to manually set the data and not wifi and try.
Good luck.
MMS only send on mobile data connection, thus has been standard behaviour on every Android phone I've owned
makes sense. i'm on/near wifi for most of the day every day so i guess its not going to send until i'm in my car driving somewhere and regular data kicks on
Shouldn't matter as the phone wont use WIFI to send MMS if the APN has "mms" designation it it. You can watch the signal bars and see he up/down arrow in the cellular signal bars vs wifi when trying to send. At least, that's what it does on my phone yet it still just doesn't send once in a while.

did an experiment today; sent 3 MMS (while i'm hooked to WIFI) and 2 of them went..made a phone call before the 3rd one sent..and it got stuck in 'sending' mode.
2 hours later still stuck in 'sending'. i sent a text to that number ...didn't help.
I then sent another MMS..and when i did, it triggered both the new one and the 'stuck' one to go through.
so there you have it..not conclusive but it seems like maybe when its switching between voice and data it can get stuck..and the stock MMS messenging app doesn't seem to be smart enough to resend automatically. it seems like you have to 'jiggle the handle' to get it to go by sending another MMS.
it also seems sending ANY mms (not even to the stuck #) will release all the hung MMS for everyone.
