New "G" icon (???) Never seen it before - Touch HD General

Hi,
Any idea what this "G" (GPRS???) icon stands for in the notification area...? It's like faded icon.
I got this since I installed Microsoft Marketplace which didn't work and removed back.
I also get a message prompt that a GPRS on my Home Network could not be estalished.

that's exactly it, "G" stands for GPRS

A greyed out G or 3G shows that although the phone has picked up a GPRS/3G data carrier, it's not able to be used - ie the network has said data isn't available or forbidden.
The connection will still usually work as the phone will just try again to authenticate when required.
Usually seen when the mobile network is having problems, or when switching between roaming partners, it sometimes takes a while for the new network to accept a data connection.

Thank you handsomedog...! I was worried if any file(s) are corrupted, but if the greyed icon is OK, then i should try to find out what's happening. A hardreset did not help.

I was still be unable to connect to GPRS.

I did upgrade to ROM 3.27.4.3 and GPRS is working now.

greyed out g mean gprs roaming
you are roaming and the network you are roaming on support gprs
but before you can use it you may have to set the apn to whatever the network use
to get data
mind you roaming and using data can be expensive

After I disconnect my GPRS services, my HD keeps trying to connect with GPRS and it gives me an error message: "THERE IS A PROBLEM CONNECTING TO THE GPRS SERVICE IN YOUR REGISTERED HOME NETWORK".
Like 1 week ago, this was not the case.

soft reset...
usually the Wifi Dispears after you connected to ActiveSyc(or Mobile Device Center) becouse on default ActiveSyc disconnects any data connections on the device(including disabling Wifi card) and therefore it does not show up.
when i was still on wm5, most of the time the wifi button did not come back up. i would usually have to play with the ui somehow to get it back but it should come up with a soft reset.

Sir, i was soft reset - hard reset and uprom but not fix...
well, if it still does not show at all(including fidling with everything you can, and doing everything and anything) then there definatly something wrong and you should send it to repair centers. it could be a wifi chip problem but i really dont know.
you could also try an unnofficial WM6.1 on the device and see if that works...

other people are also experiencing problems with the reg fix.
you could try an older version(beta1.2-im still using that version and wifi works strong, like it should).

WIFI connection problem Samsung i780 help

PROBLEM WITH WIFI Surfing...
Phone's ROM Version and WIFI version:
PDA: i780 DXHC4
PHONE: i780 DXHC4
wifi: s/w: 1.0.0.0
h/w: 1.0
the problem I HAVE is that WIFI CONNECTS OKAY and DETECTS NETWORK OKAY, however, I CANNOT surf and/or download any DATA using Internet Explorer. It SOMETIMES download, but VERY VERY SLOW.
Can I get some help please????
I tried another phone HTC Touch with WIFI, and no problems at all.
I have exactly the same problem...
I just bought the phone, and i had the surfing working through wlan once, but now it doesnt work. Wifi connection is ok, i can also ping the device from the wireless-side.
tried to manually enter dns address, no help.
I also had this problem, but after installation of realVGA and SPBbackup, it somehow works again. I am keeping my fingers crossed though, because I don't know for how long this will keep working. Hopefully I wont have this problem again.
The problem started after only a couple of days use. I had made use of wifi with no problems, surfing the net. After trying some connections via poor access points, I could still connect to my home network, but I could not open any internetpage (in IE and in opera).
You could try installing realVGA and SPBBackup like I did, but I'm not sure that this was really the solution to the problem. I didn't try anything else as far as know.
i got it to work now. i made some changes to network settings that should only be related to gprs or wap. change to my internet instead of my wap.
or dont touch anything if it works
still no luck
I had same problem. Cannot connet to internet at home but it was ok at work. It didnt worked with firmware C1. I had some problems with E1 too but somehow it works now. What WiFi router do you have?
Im having the exact same problem and ive tried fiddling with the connection settings also, but no luck so far. :-(
I wanted to try that realVGA thing, however it says that it might mess up the phone if used with other than eng language, so ill pass on that one for now..
I might have found the solution, ill be back with the details if it keeps working. :-D
So i shot these pics of everything network related i could find in my phone:

I hope this will be useful even though its in Danish, but the basic stuff like "Network Adapter" etc is almost the same in Danish (Netværkskort) so it shd be possible to figure out which is what.
Cheers!
wifi connection ss i780
i got a similar problem with ss i780 but am trying the solution i have read..thanks will let yu know if it works
same here with me.. using LGKS20.. cannot surf the website but still can connects the wifi..
For i780 Wifi...If network connected successfully and still you are not able to surf, then it might posible the your you had select "Work" to Network Adaptor connects.. Please goto wifi menu=>Network Adapter =>select Internet
if problem not solved then it might be with wifi router. i.e. it may uses proxy.
Following proxy works for many gateways and it also works for me.
You can set proxy by clicking Samsung Wifi adapter..=>Use Specific IP Address=>
IP => 192.168.1.(1 to 249)
Subnet mask => 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway => 192.168.1.1
Please let me know what happened

Some application using data connection frequently

I have noticed that the 3G symbol changes to H frequently and then back again, I am presuming some application/process is using the data connection automatically. I have turned off auto updates in everything I can think of. Is there a way of finding out what is using the data connection.

If only this big H symbol (the one on left) is changing - there is nothing to worry about, it`s normal. It means you found better coverage
3G - 2.45 Mbit/s to 3.1 Mbit/s
H (HSDPA) - (1.8 3.6 and 7.2) Mbit/s but mostly you will get 3.6 or 7.2 Mbit/s
If the small one on the right (next to bars with range) appears, it means that data connection turned itself ON.
Now you have to find out which application is doing this.

It changes to H for a few seconds and then reverts back to 3G. I have installed SPB wireless monitor and found that its the system which keeps accessing the data connection. The thing is this only happens when the data connection is active, i.e. if I disconnect the data connection whatever it is, does not re-connect.
No one else seeing this?
I noticed this happening all the time. I could go to bed and the next morning I would check and my connections would be active for 10 hours or so.
So I installed Bandswitch the freeware one.
And i just update everything manually. Bandswitch shuts down idle connections after a set period of time..
Hope this helps....
I started a thread about this too...
Coincidence??
my data has been trying to connect since yesterday but because i have mad an "Offline" profile in my connections i keep getting a dismiss dialog.
Just as a matter of interest did you install anything recently?

I have installed many applications but I have had these on many other WM phones e.g touch pro 2, HD etc and they never did what I am seeing.
There are 2 main clues:
1) Whatever it is that is accessing the data doesn't reconnect if the data connection is closed. Only if the connection is active then it is accessed.
2) SPB wireless monitor reports the culprit as "system" and not any application that I have installed. This is the first time I have had a phone running WM 6.5. Wondered if there is some component of this operating system which need to regularly access data?
This is a snapshot of the SPB wireless monitor from their own website (not my device) but the system component can be seen.

Your Wi-Fi scans because it's on, just like Bluetooth. There are two ways to reduce the battery usage. First, set your phone to be on static IP on the network. Secondly, adjust how often it scans (rooted devices only).

Is the wireless actually enabled though? The only option I can think of when you say "turn off if not connected" is the option to disconnect if the internet is unavailable. In this case, you aren't connected but the wireless is still scanning for networks. You need to toggle WiFi off completely.

WiFi+

Hi,
Can someone explain how the WiFi+ function works? With WiFi+ activated and WiFi off I've never seen it turn WiFi on when I get to a place where I always use it. The otherway around with WiFi on I've never seen it deactivated.
As I understand it from the description I would really like to get this function to work. Saves a lot of battery without me having to remember to switch WiFi on and off.

Well today I got home, WiFi off and I saw a message that WiFi had been turned on. Awesome!
haha ive experienced the same, it works unexpectedly, but most of the time i still switch network modes manually
Sent from my Huawei Mate 8 NXT-AL10
Keep WiFi as well as 4G data on.
WiFi+ will check which is better connected and then start one faster and better connection according to it
I feel it's still in adolescence let Huawei grow with B350 software and see
It's function is to switch between WiFi and mobile networks when either your WiFi or mobile network has poor reception.
WiFi+ will switch to the network with better signal/reception.
If your mobile network is turned off, it will offer to turn it on or ask you if you want to remain on your slow network.
It will also auto turn on your WiFi when you move within a known/saved network location but it may take a while.
