GPRS connecting once, then needs reset

Hi,
I've got an Orange M500, upgraded with the Imate ROM 1.12.00WWE - ever since I upgraded the ROM, I can connect to my Orange GPRS service fine, however, if I disconnect then try to reconnect again, the connection fails. I have to turn on flight mode, then turn on the radio again in order to get GPRS access.
I've tried upgrading to Radio 1.13.00, but still no joy.
Any ideas?

Mine does that and I have the original ROM. A bit of a pain isn't it.

Here's the fix
This was originally posted by Peter for the imate JAM.
I just installed it and it's working like a charm.
1. Download the older version of caller-id from:
ftp://xda:[email protected]/BlueAngel/CAB_Files/Caller ID/IA_CallerID_1.20_WWE.CAB
and transfer it over to your device. Any directory is Ok. I used ActiveSync to put it into the My Documents folder.
2. Remove the file IA_CD-Startup.exe from \Windows\Startup on your device.
3. Rename iacontacts.dll to something else (e.g. old-iacontacts.dll). This file is in the \Windows directory of your device but is hidden. However you can rename it using your PC. Open Windows explorer, and navigate to Mobile Device>My PocketPC>Windows.
4. Rename displayCID.dll to something else (e.g. old-displayCID.dll). Access it via your PC the same as for the previous step.
5. Soft reset
6. Run the CAB file on the device - just tap on it.
7. Soft reset.
That should do it.

I have the same GPRS problem too. However, the link you provided just asked for the password to access that ftp. Hey, acs540, do you know the password or do you have that CAB file? Thanks in advance.

usernameassword is xda:xda
The fix in this post seems to refer to caller id!?! I too get the gprs connection problem and have made it better with different roms but not found a sure-fire fix.
If anyone has a patch that fixes this, please post it!

GPRS now working
Hi,
Finally I tried, or at least halfway, After I removed the CallerID everyone is talking about my Qtek9090 now works flawless regarding GPRS.
This is very interesting that Caller ID software makes GPRS not working
Anyway, now I can start and stop GPRS several times, I have now toggled it 10 times without any problem.
Before I had to reset/toggle radio to make it reconnect after a disconnect.
Thank you all that has investigated this problem!
One last thing, Do you really need CallerID? :roll:

I don't use Caller_ID, but Photo Contacts Pro.
Did you also try to change GPRS slot (Class 8 or Class 10) in GPRS settings?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Well, yes, I have changed to Class8 (4R1T), default was (I belive) Class10

flashed my t-mobile with qtek rom but..

so far seems fantastic BUT i cant send mms or receive and gprs dont work. tried a cab file i got from around the forum but still nothing. i really need at least gprs to work desperately.
oops t-mobile UK that is

Did you try this cab from this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=47745 ?
If you did and did not work try entering them manually from here http://www.mphone.co.uk/mms_wap_settings_t_mobile.html

tried the cab file but no mms send or receive as there isn't even a gprs connection. how can you set gpes manually? all i get in gprs is authentication and nowt else. :shock:

Yes go to settings\connections\conections\add new modem conection and sellect modem type - cellular gprs and all the other details are on the link i gave you on prev post.

oh mate that worked a treat. thanks a lot

Unable to connect to GPRS - Ultimate 9502 ** RESOLVED**

I seek other 9502 ultimate owners and experts advice on the below:
Upon trying to connect to the internet using the GPRS functionality, I always receive the following error message:
“Cannot connect for an unknown reason. To check your connection settings and change them if needed, tap settings. If the problem continues, reset your mobile device according to your manufacturer’s documentation and try again”
I have tried the following steps:
- Reviewed the connection settings picked up by the Imate configurator upon first boot, they were correct.
- Tried to remove the SIM card and use it on my JAMin, the device connected smoothly (with the above same connection settings).
- Hard reseted the device, still it didn’t connect.
- Checked the Operator settings of my provider on the internet, they are the same ones loaded by the Imate Configurator
- Tried another SIM card, same thing
- Went to the service provider and changed the SIM card and got a new one, same error
I shall appreciate any assistance.
UPDATE
Finally!!!!
After installing the new WM 6.1, the device connected smoothly
.

From a 9502 owner
Hi, I have read your post and looked at my Ultimate to find anything obvious and I cannot. I am on O2 in the UK and used the configurator settings which worked fine. If there are any settngs you would like me to verify for you, let me know.
Oh! did you check the phone settings as well as the network connection settings, it's possible that a default in there does not tally with your provider (Goto the Wireless Manager and Tap MENU|PHONE SETTINGS).
Cheers

GPRS - Ultimate 9502
Thx for your reply.
I have tried every possible combination of Network / Band selection from the phone settings but it didn't work.
Imate have responded that it may be a ROM issue and that they are working on an new updated ROM to be available soon that will probably solve the problem.
Meanwhile i am trying to figure out some registery tweak that could fix the problem (trial and error)

WM 6.1 Link please
Can you please post the link to the WM 6.1 ROM that resolved your problem.
Thanks

Facebook link not working... message that I´m not connected to the internet.

Hi,
Probably somebody else already asked this question before but I cant find it on the forum.
When I want to connect with Facebook using the quicklink it gives me this error:
"Can´t connect to facebook. Check if your connected to the internet".
But I CAN connect with the internet. So that can´t be the problem. I saw on other forums that more people had this problem and they tried to solve this by updating the DATABASE in the configuration of the connections.
On the phone go to:
Start, configurations, connections, connections configuration, MENU button and then update datbase.
For some it worked but in my case no.
Somebody else had the same problem? And how did you fix it?
Thx for the help.

Rom version: 1.48.404.2 (71294) NLD

I have exactly the same problem, this also happens with twitter..
I'm with vodafone btw.
Ps. Also my data connection fails after several hours, so have to disable/enable the data connection to get it working again.
