Has anyone come up with a fix so that the GPRS is back to being always on as it was in the original 1.03 ROM? I have read some posts on this on other sites, but I have not found anything here. I assume that I have everything set properly, but the GPRS has to be started every time now.
In general I do not feel that the 1.06 ROM upgrade did much of anything to enhance my device, and quite frankly I wish I was back to 1.03, however, I have heard that a new ROM upgrade will soon be released and I bet that one or I hope that one will provide some real value and fix things.
I've posted this in another thread, here's the quote:
Here's a solution I've done to my XDA II with T-Mobile GPRS problem. I don't know who came up with this solution, but thanks to my friend who suggested this at PDAMobiz.com.
1. After a hardreset and completing the initial screen alignment, interrupt the auto-installation process by softreset your XDA II (you have 3 seconds before the files in Extended_ROM will automatically install).
2. Make your Extended_ROM viewable, whether by using the Extended ROM Viewer from http://www.ppcw.net or Extended ROM Switcher (sorry I forgot the link).
3. Now, install each cab files, except TMD_AP_NL.sa.CAB. In fact, I also disregarded, Caller ID, and some other TMD stuff.
As a result, the GPRS is now always-on as it should be.
Cheers,
Thank you for responding to this post. I had to wait quite awhile.
Your #3. states to install the cab files and disregard the TMD files. Did you delete these files or just not open them? What are these TMD Files for?
I assume that I cannot, at this point and without a hard reset, just delete the TMD Files that are viewable in my Extended Rom. Is this a correct assumption or could I accomplish the same goal by just deleting those files?
Thank You

Yes you need to delete does file from Extended_ROM and hard reset it.
Or hard reset, quickly soft reset after you finish the screen calibration, run the extended_rom viewer and manually open/run each of the cab files except the mention cab. ( basically follow exactly what jopard said ).
I read also somewhere in this forum that someone did a differrence search on the registry between GPRS always on and GPRS off when idle. With this method you can change the setting without hard reset.
Hi, the mentioned cab installs the following registry key (among others):
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\ConnMgr\Planner\Settings]
"CacheTime"=dword:0000003c
"SuspendResume"=hex(7):\
69,6e,74,65,72,6e,65,74,00,00,00,00
I guess it must be the SuspendResume setting. Can you post your setting without applying the cab file?

This is my setting running my own cook 1.60.06 skiping that file:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\ConnMgr\Planner\Settings]
"SuspendResume"=hex(7):7E,00,47,00,50,00,52,00,53,00,21,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00
"CacheTime"=dword:00000258
And yes my GPRS is always on.
Hm, I'll try that, but I had another problem:
When I was always GPRS-connected my GSM-connection was always lost
after 12-24h. The device showed that it is connected but I could not dial out and I could not be called.
Now since I am not "always on" anymore I do not have this problem anymore.
Did you experience something similar?

Mine work fine I can call, received phone/sms while npop and aim is running in the background.
is there
Is there a way to do this without hardrestting? It just took me two hours to load all the program into XDA. Can I just hack the reg?
thanks
my rom
My rom does not even have this cab in the ext file. Can I hack it in the reg?
I have XDA II 1.50WWE ROM
thanks

I think you will find that many carriers have a "timeout" after several hours of non use.

SuspendResume
What does this look like in the registry:
This is my setting running my own cook 1.60.06 skiping that file:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\ConnMgr\Planner\Settings]
"SuspendResume"=hex(7):7E,00,47,00,50,00,52,00,53,00,21,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00
I have PHM Registry Editor, and entering the entire string does not look like a meaningful option.
Is it a REG_DWORD with a base of HEX ?
Regards
Michael
I use resco registry editor you can just import in that registry.
I found another post regarding this issue:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=26866
I'm afraid I do not understand how this thread has evolved.
I understand the posts that speak to the hard reset and softreset within 3 seconds to keep the device ROM applications from loading. From there to install fix for viewing extended ROM files and then load everything except TMD, and perhaps some of the T-Mobile apps you do not want. Although the response says a specific TMD file and some other TMD-no specifics, all or some?
The balance of the thread seems to speak to radio settings.
Is it being said that you can change some settings on the radio stack and get the GPRS always on? If so how do you do this in reasonably simple terms?

Nonintrusive Keep-Alive
The intrusive solutions are enticing to me but they are for "developers". From a user's point of view, I am always worried about doing something and then not being able to restore it to the original state (or having to spend a lot of time to get back) should something go wrong. My bandage solution (unique to my use situation) is to open an ssh or a telnet window and run a shell script which loops to print the current timestamp and then sleeps for 5 seconds. A T-Mobile tier 2 tech guy told me that the disconnection was by design for the benefit of network service providers so that they can save on connection resources.
By the same token, I like the Keep-Alive application solution - I think it is worth my $2.45 (See thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=5220). I wonder if the to-come T-Mobile Windows PPC 2003 comes with some sort of control that is equivalent to the Keep-Alive application - in a matter of a month or two, supposedly.
I saw a cab somewhere in the Diamond thread which stopped the keyboard popping up whenever one opens an email , a text message, or something that might remotely require text input. I have spent the last couple of hours searching for it but to no avail. anybody know how to turn this facility off please?

nullkb is the program you are looking for
Here is a link: http://personales.ya.com/beemer/nullkeyboard.htm
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sip]
"TurnOffAutoDeploy"=dword:00000001
This is the regkey you've probably been looking for. Use it myself on my Diamond and works like a charm.
Excellent find - after a soft reset this works on the Kaiser too, much better than faffing around with nullkb and PQz et al.
I didn't manage to make it work on my Kaiser. Could you please explain me how to?
Thank you.

Yes! That works perfectly! Thanks a bunch.
For all you guys who can't find it (it didn't exist on my Tilt):
In HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sip, you need to to create a new Value. Name it, "TurnOffAutoDeploy" (without the quotes), make it a DWord, and set the value to 00000001, like MRE-net said. Save it, soft reset, and it works like a charm.
Great find mate. Thanks again.
Ok guys; I must be stupid!
I've just tried it (again) and it still doesn't work!!!
When I create the new DWORD value, Task Manager asks me if I want it Hexadecimal or Decimal... I tried both but no one fits.
So, please, could you explain it again )
Thanks a lot!
Abundance of options
Gentlemen
many thanks, problem solved.

Make sure it is Decimal and just fill in 1 and not 0000001. 1 = on 0=off
Also make sure the new key you've created is a DWord and not a StingValue.
Alternatively you can copy the attached DisableKeyboardPopUp.txt file to your device import it into your registry. Make sure you rename the file to DisableKeyboardPopUp.reg
Thanks MRE-net! I have been looking for this as well.
i live in New York have the Time Set to Eastern US i just recently started getting my Incoming SMS/TEXT at a different time meaning for Example: right now is 11:00AM anyone who sends me a Text/sms the time on their incoming text/sms says 7:00AM.. and i notice it only happen with people who are on a different Network... i am on T-mobile so if i get a text from, Sprint, At&t or Verizon it has the time difference.. does anyone have or can fix this Issue.

Same over here...how you solve it?
1/ Go to HKLM / SOFTWARE / OEM / PhoneSetting
2/ Add DWORD "TrustTimeZoneField"
3/ valeur = 0
4/Soft reset
escuz my english is very bad
I did This :-D
Use Total Commander or any other Registry Editor
1. Go to HKLM / SOFTWARE / OEM / PhoneSetting/ +Add Value+
2. Add DWORD "TrustTimeZoneField"
3. valeur = 0
4. Soft reset
cab
Here is a cab that changes that value. It's posted somewhere in this forum.
now am getting a 5 mins Time difference from people who are on a Different Newtwork.. i will try the CAB and see if that works...
Edit:... Tried the CAB files but still get a Wrong time.. this sucks..

bump i am also gettin a 5 mintue difference. has this issue been resolved?
I get a 2 minute time difference, tried doing that, but still no joy.
Help please!!!!
Note: I have a Leo, but this thread was linked into a thread in there, and sounds like the exact same problem so hopefully a fix for this will work for me!
i had the same problem
for a quick fix just change ur time zone to LONDON, Dublin which is GMT 0.
maybe you were using a UK rom or something
could it be that the people with 5 minute time difference have their clock 5 minutes out? and the people with 2 minutes differences have their HD2 clock 2 minutes out from the actual time... just a thought.
I'm having a similar issue.
Message I have sent have the correct time (I view sms in threaded view) but messages I have received display only the date. They used to all show time before I went on vacation.
I tried the CAB and the issue persists. Any idealios?

Thank you for that fix...works beautifully!

The text icon on the touchflo bar is stuck with a 1 in it. No, there isn't a new message. A soft reset doesn't fix it. Anyone run across this before?
Just ran across this problem myself this weekend, and it was making me crazy! I found the solution over at ppcgeeks. Just need to run .exe file located here: http://journal.drfaulken.com/fixunre...ation-big-fix/ - and then soft reset. Worked like a charm. They said it may reset the Verizon sent SMS notification, so I just reran that cab as well.
Hope that helps...

That link didn't work but it helped me find what I was looking for, thanks!
I did run the fixunreadcount and it said it fixed it from 1 to 0 and did a soft reset but it still shows with a 1, I also checked the reg keys for message count and they all do in fact say 0. So then after checking the reg keys usinf CERegEditor from my PC it fixed itself even thoguh I didn't change a value, it was already at 0. Bizarre. But at least it is working now.
Anyone else run into this with their Imagio check:
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=18132
I ran into this as well yesterday, strange our Imagios all did it at once. I did all sorts of stuff and finally the fixunreadcount and a soft reset. Still didn't work, but I read somewhere about ending the Inbox running program for it to actually "look" again at the database. MIne just solved itself about 5 minutes after fixunread and a soft reset
this happened to me. i found out that through some fluke a message sent notification, the one that appears when you re-send a text, was stuck in my inbox but i could get to it.
Hey Guys,
I'm a Canadian Rogers phone user, and I've just flashed my phone's rom out for a new one, and now, whenever I receive an sms, it's about 5 hours behind. Through my snooping around, I've found that this is a common problem with Rogers and unofficial roms. I found a couple solutions, but they both apply to WM6.1, and do not work for my phone which is WM6.5.
I'm looking for the registry entry that I can switch, such as "TrustTimeZoneField" or "RecvTimeStamp" so that my phone won't trust the time given but rogers, and will instead use the phone time.
Anyone know where that registry entry would be, or possibly where I could create a new one that would?
Thanks
reg entry to use
this worked for me
TrustTimeZoneField
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OEM\PhoneSetting\
Add a dword key "TrustTimeZoneField" and give it a dword value of 0
I've tried that, but it doesn't seem to work.
Are you using WM6.5?
yes
yeah using 6.5 energy rom
I think I'll try a different rom, and then try what you did again. I can't stand how all the text messages get all out of order.
Thanks for replying.
