DCD's Alltel Rom flash.
PPC6800 on ALltell network. Eveything seems fine except the DATA (#777) won't connect; no internet etc. Any suggestions?
Do a search for IOTA.cab and install it.

What happens when you run IOTA? (settings>phone>services>internet>Get Settings)
Get settings has the following choices
Location -> ON
Network Service -> Standard (Home Only is the other choice; deselected)
TTY -> Off
Time Sync -> Auto
Don't see a place to "run IOTA" from there....don't know where else to look.
I'll find & run the IOTA.cab & report back
Hope this works because I like the ROM Especially the conversational Text messaging. Very nice.
My primary motivation, however, is to find a ROM that actually runs BlueTooth w/out crashing the phone like Alltel's Stock ROM does. Jury's still out....gonna test.
Thx
BTW, I saw something that refered to "extended ROM". Whats that? And I didn't find IOTA.CAB here....gonna search PPCGeeks if their site ever gets smooth.
IOTA Cab
If you don't already have the IOTA cab check in your extended rom. Mine is called IOTA_1128.cab. Good luck
The IOTA cab just made the phone virtually unuseable. Wouldn't Activesync, hung up randomly on calls, and didn't solve the DATA issue.
I noticed the NID/SID setting different w/ the custom ROM than with the SSstock ROM, but I'd not written it down.....so....
back to the Stock ROM, everything works fine. Interestingly, the Username/Password in the Mobile Modem setup for the Alltell data are blank.
I'm gonna reload the custom ROM & Radio 3.27 next week & put the SID/NID in manually that exists in the stock setup & see if that solves the issue.
Sadly, however, the Bluetooth issue was not solved in the custom ROM. It worked once, then I shut the BT headset off. When I restarted it I had to soft reset to get a hook up, and I had no BT activation of MS Voice command. Very sad. I'm still interested in custom roms that acivate the GPS though, so its worth futzing around with
Got my blackstone today. Network unlocked and my step back into the world of windows mobile.
I stuck an O2 payandgo simcard in and connected the WIFI.
I then started playing, after a bit thought lets see what the 3g data speed is like found the o2 settings and set the data connection slider to on.
I moved out of range of the wireless and went on a couple of websites speed was good and useable for facebook etc.
However one massive problem on reconnecting to the wifi I left the data connection open as you would I mean it's on all the time right.
All of the traffic from the following web browsing nailed my £10 down to 17p.
It would not use the wifi saying in google maps "an internet connection is required" if I turn off the 3G data connection it connects through the wireless, turn it back on and it *****es and moans at me.
WTF I said rather loudly, so a data connection over 3G is a higher priority than my 20Mb cable line here over wireless.
The web stuff is good although opera is a bit irratating at times, we need skyfire for this beasty.
I love the screen and the keyboard works well. The touchflo is lagging quite a lot and the screens can take a bit of thinking before they close.
Not sure if I need to upgrade the firmware. 1.14.405.3 (222373) WWE.
I am really hacked off as now I have to put another £10 on the phone to test properly within my 14 days. Or just straight up send it back and get an X1 or an Omnia. Help me out guys.
Works fine for me, wifi prioritised over 3g whenever it's connected. However, some apps only select which connection to use when they're started, can't remember if this applies to googlemaps. Try restarting it and see if it works over wifi.
Useful tip if you want to control what uses 3g: goto control pannel/buttons, and set the end key to disconnect 3g. Then you have a quick shortcut to turn it off, and you can see at a glance in the status bar if it has reconnected (the H above the signal strength). It's also useful if you set the X button to close apps rather than minimise, otherwise you might still be using an app that thinks it's on 3G even when you come back into range of wifi.
Thanks for the reply arfster. What you say makes perfect sense, I have used the Tweak HD to change the close on x and set the end button as a 3g off switch. Will put another £10 on and see how it goes
With Tweak HD you can easily make the performance of the TF3D alot better. Made the device much better workable for me.
I have changed some settings and it has improved, I'm going to have a proper play with it when it's charged and some stuff has finished copying to it Overall I am very pleased with the hardware (camera excluded but I knew that), it makes one of the guys Iphone's look weak and feeble! the 8gb card in the box was a bonus as well
It's just some bits with the software that are bugging me, after looking around the forum a bit more it would seem that I have a World Wide English rom, need to know if I can upgrade to a euro rom of a later version. I'll keep updating this thread I think with my impressions as I go along, probably from the device most of the time to get used to the keyboard. Good times software can be fixed hardware can't.
There is an app called nodata which allows you to turn on and off GPRS data connection, You can simply toggle data connection off when you don't want to use your PAYG credit, no matter what apps are requesting for data.
BTW, there are tweaks to speed up your Touch HD device including Opera.
Hi there,
I have been trying to connect to Orange UK HSDPA, 3G and Edge networks for the past few days to browse internet, download email and rss, and update weather. My phone is unable to connect though. No problems with text or call delivery.
Anyone else suffering from this? Thanks.
yeah im experiencing the same but only of today.it was okay yesterday and i havent been cut off or anythng of the like.
dont really want to do a hard reset but i will do later and see it makes a difference.
what rom and radio are you using?
im using the 1.8 l26 rom
r 1.10.25.25
g 52.57.25.30u
d 1.14.38865
hey guys,
I work closely with orange and can report that there aren't any planned outages I am aware of for the orangeinternet APN (The public one). Our private APN seems to be working ok so the problem lies with the public service.
My suggestion is to get this reported to orange asap so they can diagnose the issue further especially if it is affecting multiple areas (i'm in huddersfield) and can confirm I have the same issue aswell.
Its not anything to do with radion/rom as I was running Dutty's extreme with radio 1.12 up until 2 nights ago - since which I have reverted back to the standard 1.14 orange ROM using the 1.09 radio and still am suffering the same issue as you guys.
hth - zoomee
Mine wouldn't work as of yesterday, quite late yesterday to be honest though. I am in Fife, Scotland. I'm running Dutty's extreme rom 2.1 for note, but doesn't seem to be Rom specific.
Does anyone have dropped call problems with their Orange HDs too? Mine seems to have developed the problem recently. Already had to send a few back so really not wanting to have to do it again!
thanks for your reply and sugestion zoomee
iv got to transfer 10Gb of data to a new sd and then il reflash my phone with a new radio, hard reset didnt solve anythng nor did re-doing the connection setup.
il report back in an hour or so when im done.
no i havent had any dropped call issues.does your wifi work okay?i can connect to my hub but am not receiving any data or internet access
definately something affecting the orangeinternet APN if its affecting us all - so far i've read reports from london, scotland and yorkshire about the same issue.
Sure it will be resolved come tommorow as they'll be on skeleton-staff over the weekend.
Wow, noticed no connection this morning tried a few times upto now thought id check in to see if anyone else having probs, i am in the midlands. Will give orange a ring now.
Got through the blurb on the auto answer system on orange, pre-recorded message we have probs and are trying to sort! dont hold your breath.
Looks like I picked a great day to flash my rom - didn't check connectivity before flashing, thought the rom was borked!!! No connection since about 8:00am which is when I flashed.
Same problem here, no connection since about 9pm yesterday.
I've got the £5/month 500mb but don't really use it that much(as I use wifi at home mainly) so didn't notice the problem till I read this, just checked and it appears I'm suffering as well(I'm in Reading, Berkshire).
do I use Orange Internet or Orange WAP setting? leaving it on default appears to be using Orange WAP, I don't want to be charged on the £1/day rather than the usage being taken out of the 500mb/month when I use 3g rather than wifi.
What timing! My new data bundle (500MB) had just kicked in (I got the service message around midnight) but no actual data service available. It was working at around 6pm, since I was looking up train times on the move, but by midnight there was nothing. At first I thought it was something in the service message had mucked things up, but my partner also had no data service when she checked.
The same here in Bristol, was working yesterday (although not quite as good coverage as normal) now it seems to have totally gone..
same here guys, i'm in Letchworth, Hertfordshire.
but only experiencing problems since this morning,

Ok that makes 13 people all on Orange who are using various stock and Dutty or similar ROMS who are experiencing the same issue. With the recording from orange added to the info its fair to say its an orange weekend issue.
When I checked my connection settings I found the modem section greyed out. To be specific when I go to start>Settings>click on the connection tab>select the connection icon>then click on manage existing connections>then select edit. In the second drop down box on the orange internet settings screen it says "select a modem" the content of that box is set to Cellular Line (GPRS, 3G) but it is greyed out and unable to select or change.
Would someone be kind enough to check the same please as I am concerned my modem is dead!
Thanks very much in advance. I appreciate your help whilst pulling out large clumps of hair.

I'm getting the same problem, could use Internet on the move with my Touch HD yesterday up until early evening, then nothing - just times out when I try and connect
Standard 1.14 ROM btw

Mine is exactly the same. If I create a complete new connection I do get to select a modem though, but its greyed out on my existing one
thanks

I don't think it's device-related at all -- I'm running stock 1.19 still (radio 1.09.25.25 from memory) but my other half is running an antique TyTN and it's dead for her too.

Just the same here, the modem selection dropdown is greyed out -- but I think that's normal, although I can't be sure because I never really noticed before.

Now I am feeling much better. I guess we just wait until Orange guys and girls walk into the office tomorrow and resolve the issue. Oh BTW my sky internet on my PC was very slow and sporadic early hours of this morning. Maybe its a radio mast, transmitter or a lump of space metal not working properly?
Thanks again. Great community.

sorry for my late reply. i flashed and hard reset and i have a connection.
if you can afford to, do a back up and hard reset perhaps and then re run ur connection setup.
thanks for all your ur input, hopefully orange will sort this as i have two contracts with them and im not getting my moneys worth, even if it is for a day.i like my money
Seriously people....
I've seen lots of threads recently. People are complaining that the HD2's data connection cuts out, leaving them unable to access the Internet from their phones for who knows how long. I know, it IS kinda annoying...But the thing is..
I can tell you this IS NOT a hardware problem. It's something to do with either the OS....or something in the phone's registry settings which no one has picked up yet...I hear that phones like the TP2 do not have this error, and I agree. My old unbranded Touch Pro 2 was brilliant, I could use it for IM and texts anywhere...LOL I used to sit on the Bus while people stared at my phone, while I was on Messenger talking to my phone. Anyways, here's what I wanna tell you guys. Hope I help out everyone in some way or another.
What I have:
HD2
3 Mobile Sim-So yeah, My Operator is 3 UK
Living in London, UK
Using ENERGY's 17th March Version ROM
HUSPA, HDSPA Enabled
What I've noticed:
The phone cuts out the signal when the transition between 3G and H occurs in the icons. As a result, the Internet cuts out temporarily, and programs such as Messenger lose connectivity for a while. For example, when the icon is on H, and no one's talking on Messenger, the Icon changes back to 3G....during this moment it cuts out sometimes..until it reverts back to the H icon (Got that? I know, it's a little long and complicated when I word it like that, but read it out and it'll make sense xD)
Now, whenever I have the phone connected to my PC/Laptop (Either as a Wi Fi Router or through the cable and then using Internet Sharing, either way, the phone does NOT change back to 3G, it stays constantly on H (Mind you, I usually download during this period). Anyways, the point being that the connection is VERY stable and constant, when in this state, connected to my PC/Laptop and the device is accessing the Internet through my phone's Data Connection. So what do you all think? And what have YOU found out? Leave your responses and ideas below
Some things I have found out are, if you Enable ONLY HUSPA in the Settings/Connectivity options, the connections seem to be more stable. Furthermore, if you really want to, Disable Advanced Connections, stay only on 3G, and enjoy a LOT of stability (At the cost of slower speed surfing and downloading )
My HD2 does not connect at all anymore. I called in to support because I completely lost data connectivity (web browser, email, slacker, whatever - no connection). They verified no troubles on their end. I moved the sim to my old touch pro (running Energy ROM w/ winmo 6.5 and Sense 2.1) and that phone connects fine. So it's not the SIM, and it's not the network.
I've also done a hard reset to get back to stock and still have the problem, which tells me that it's not a registry / software setting.
They only thing that leaves is faulty hardware - or firmware that a ROM hard reset wouldn't affect. Either way I need to replace the device altogether.
Unfortunately, tmo is out of stock and so I can only wait for a more to become available before it can be replaced.

Which phone company are you with? I experienced the same problem with 3UK in North London for a couple of months up until the beginning of last week but it was a problem at 3's end, not mine. Other people have been experiencing similar issues with non-3 phones in London (http://www.3g.co.uk/3GForum/showthread.php?t=102192).
yes, I had problems in London too before Good Friday. Especially on Tues+Wed.
Others around me inthe library also had similar issues with their iphones. I kept on switching the baseband and modes, and reapplying my 3G settings to keep it alive and solve the outages.
Most people with issues were on vodafone or O2 (like me).
It would work, then cut, then work.
I thought at first it was because I had a custom ROM, but iphone users had the same - and lots of timeouts on requests.
I DO believe however that running ROMS like energy's and Dutty's HG 1.7 with 2.10 (which I'm currently running) bases as 2_08 radios is not great for the uk and exacerbates the connection issue. 2_07 is better...and in any event we SHOULD be using 1.72 based roms with 2_09 radio.
I have also noticed that on COM5 23544 builds the opera mobile 9.7 and 10 google boxes do not work. They come up as failed connection, but then i click on teh link and it works...weird huh???
So I think last week was because of network faults in London. But in general, these 2.10 based ROMS and their radios are not ideal for stability.
I had perfect call and HSDPA stability with 1.48stock+2_09 radio.
Having turned to a 23544 rom (Dutty's HG) with 2_08 radio I've had much less call and internet stability (and quality) over the stock with 2_09.

T-Mobile US.
Hi,
since some time, I am experiencing problems with my data connection. I dont really now, why but those persist through changes of AndroidOS, Radio and WM-ROM.
The Facts: HD2 european version, Operator: O2 Germany
The Problem in detail: When I am at home, I want to use my WLAN connection but some times, it doesnt connect to it. I have to manually go into the menu and reset my wlan-connection, so it works. Much more annoying is the fact, that when I am not at home (and WLAN is out of range), the phone often doesnt connect HSPA/3G/GSM/whatever and programms like maps, opera etc just claim to not having a data connection ready, though there are 2 to 4 bars. Only way to solve this -> go to flight mode, thet deactivate flight mode OR deactivate data connection, then reacivate it. Either way its annoing and mails won't be downloaded in this time, too.
My first setups, when I didnt have this problem where with WM OZDroid ROM, 2.12.50.XX Radio and many different Androidbuilts (no working compass / lightsensor etc - you know for sure ) Then I got to MDJ-Roms which I really liked and I never used another since those times. Still no Problems.
Then, by some time, I installed a new MDJ ROM - Mdeejay_FroYo_Sense_v._1.1_Clean_R75. This Rom needet to have PIN-auth disabled in Windows or it hung up in LOOP ( ). Sadly I installed a new WM-ROM and radio at the same time (I know, never change multiple parts at once... ugh!). Those where VBNDroid-Reloaded2-21913-Oct08 and Radio 2.15.50.14.
Since that time, I have this strange connection problem. I allready changed back to an oZDroid version and tried Radio 2.12 and 2.15. As Android ROM, i used MDJ eVo Sense Revolution 1.8 and now Mdeejay_FroYo_Revolution_v._1.6_S3. - Still the same problems.
I allready had the idea to reactivate PIN-auth but this option doesnt exist in my actual WM-OzDroid ROM.
Is there anyone experiencing the same problems or able to give me a hint in this case? I'am really not one of those persons "gimmie a new OS and I kill you if it doesnt work" - I know Android is work-in-progress but with all those superb fixes in past (lightsensor, compass etc) i cannot believe that a basic part like internet connection isnt working properly.
Thanks a lot for helping me out,
cmoe
RMNET
I think you'll find plenty of others who have had the same problem and some have had success with changing builds, kernels etc. There's plenty of stuff out there if you search on it.
I used to have data problems but switched to RMNET rather than PPP. You need to use a build that allows you to change this though and luckily for me, Bangsters 1.5 is such a build. It's not a sense build.
RMNET gets a bad press for it's speed, but to be honest it is perfectly ok for browsing the web. I leave all my downloading and updating till I'm on WiFi at home.
Regards your wifi issue, I have 'power control' widget on my homescreen and just switch WiFi off and on. Much easier than going into settings.

This might sound a bit noobish, but I was wondering if someone can recommend an android ROM which provides a stable data connection with the windows stock ROM WWE 3.14 (Radio 2.15.40) with SPL (not HSPL)
I'm currently using the mdeejay froyo sense (v2.4). The pain for me is that the 3G connection rarely works, even in areas with full bars, and the roamin data connection tends to drop out a fair bit as well despite full bars. I've tried rebooting, and that normally works but it is real pain to have to reboot on so many occasions (not to mention slow). I tried switchin to airplane mode and then switching the mobile network on again, but that doesn't seem to work.
