I just got my HTC HD2 on T-Mobile UK.
I keep getting spammed with a message when in low to no coverage areas:
Cannot Connect
Dialed:
The answering modem has disconnected. To check your connection settings ect...
Now, I understand that when I get no coverage I can't use the phone, but the spam is bloody annoying, it makes the phone unusable.
I was on the way yo me family's pub using SatNav on the phone but the picture kept gettign obscured by this stupid message every 100 yards or so making it impossible for me to see the sat nav. When I'm at the pub, we get no coverage at all as it's in a village, but I'd like to at least connect to the wireless and/or access other areas of the phone, but I can't due to this stupid message popping up as soon as I hit dismiss.
Is there a way to stop the message coming up?
I know when I have no coverage, the signal bars are good at telling me that.
If there's no way to getting around this then I'm sending the silly thing back and getting a G2 instead.
Thanks.
hi,
the messages are generated from programs that try to connect to the internet like weatherapplication etc. they try to connect and get an error in fact of your low to none coverage. i would say that the best way to fix the issue was to use a programm that block all dataconnection and so prevent the messages.
regards mad

so here i go
i have just received my jasjar from SBE after them having it for over two month (complete morons over there dont EVER use then unless you are obliged to). got it back, worked fine for a week and now, it will ONLY log on to UMTS networks for example im sitting at home i have a U symbol and 2 bars signal strength. I go into phone settings and select GSM instead of auto and it stays searching for 10 minutes then says no signal, i can get it to join the network if i select manually my network but i can then make no calls or texts or log on to the gprs network. i am using pocket phone thingy for the today screen. and here comes the wierd part. when im out of signal in a non umts area the today screen plug in reports a signal strength ie 63% and above it it states attempting voice connection. and HERE THE REALLY WEIRD PART. i still receive my cell broadcasts when out of gsm signal. ie its searching and ill get a 'text' saying 0208, 01829 .
Please help and dont tell me i have to send it back to the idiots at SBE
bump anybody?
Unlock it then?
Same issue as this member:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=43197
It could be a hardware problem from what I can see
noooo that is not what i wanted to hear. argh any other ideas.?
How about performing a hard reset and don't install anything. Try to observe if it will act the same.
can anybody help me find a repair centre that isnt THE STUPID SBE in kent as they are ineducated and innefecient.
btw have tried the hard reset
My device is O2 Mini S. Sometimes it just goes dead and nobody can call me. The funny thing is that I can call and the signal bar is in good condition. When I restart the device, signal bar goes dead too for some time and I just can't establish connection to the service provider any more. After some time it just appears to be ok and I can call again. Even incomming calls work. WTF??!? Is it something wrong with device or my service provider? It's actually very annoying that nobody can get in touch with me when i REALLY need to...

Sounds like a device issue more than service. Have you contacted O2 to complain about it as it may be that the XDA needs replacing. I know my Nokia started doing something similar and would lose network for no reason even while my partners' phone (also Nokia on O2) was fine and had a full signal strength.
Try setting the network manually rather than automatic, i seem to get better signal this way.

Thanks, this seem to have worked. Haven't got any missed call in 4 days... However, this is very odd, why does it happen with automatic network detection?
losing connection, no calls, no sms
i have had the same problems,
manual network selection works.
also take a look at the preferred networks list !
in my case a natwork, i have no access to was selected.
have a nice day

Hi Guys,
I am a newbie.
Well i recently got my O2 Mini S.It has thge same problem.Evn when i am on the network and the network bar shows full range,i get missed call alerts.Should i upgrade the ROM?
Is there any other soultion ?
As kevoefc said I have set the network to Manual.Hope that works !!
i added a Cellular Signal Enhancer to my phone it gave me 1-2 bars in areas where i get zero
Over the past couple days I have noticed a problem with my connection on my advantage. Before I go any farther, this problem has only been happening in one spot..where i work. Everyday when i get to work its all fine and dandy full tmobile connection as well as "tmoible edge" when i click on my signal bar at the top of the advantage screen. Then sometime throughout the day I guess i am loseing my Tmobile data connection, and i cant seem to get it back. I try updating weather, rss feeds, and any of my 3 email accounts and get an error that says:
Cannot Connect
Dialed:
The answering modem has disconnected. To check your connection settings..blah blah, nothing has changed with my connection settings at all. Why would it work in the morning and then not half way through the day? Its usually dead until around the time i get home from work. Although some days I have kept the data connection the whole day. Its just strange to me because I have full bars of tmobile service with the edge icon at work...at home i get iffy 1-2 bars service and no trouble with the data connection....maybe this is beyond the forum, and i shoulda posted it over at Howards, but I wanted to try you guys first. Thanks for any tips or advice!
OK....now its connecting...and I didnt do anything. Is it weird that I have full bars, and trouble with the Tmobile Data(edge) connection? Its about time i bite the bullet and scrap my Tmobile contract for ATT to utilize the 3G
AT&T had many outages during that timeframe (including here in Indy). The problem has been corrected. There's a lot about this over at HoFo.
EDIT: Maybe I should learn to read. You had trouble on T-Mob, not AT&T!
yah, i do have tmobile not ATT yet, however according to engadget reports they werent having any outages from their office in las vegas, which is where im at.
Is anybody else having connection problems with T-Mobile today? I've had no reception for hours and my friends are experiencing the same issue. We're all in Glasgow so I wonder if it's a local problem or not.
When i scan for networks i get "your sim card does not allow connections to this network" when i choose t-mobile.
My friends have their reception back and i have only had it back once in the past few hours until i started getting the error again.
Bill has been paid etc so im not banned or anything.
Got connected with the 'Use only 2G' option. Have read on other forums that T-Mobile's 3G servers are having trouble today.
This sucks!
This happens all the time mate.
I'm in Greenock near the T-Mobile building with the big 3G transmitter, makes no difference, sometimes it just goes tits-up and only way make communication is to switch to 2G.
pain in the arse.
Had the same sort of issues as well, thought it was localised to the transmitter closest to me as it happened a few months ago and took T-Mo around a month to fix. Seems to be working OK now, though
just as a tip, you may want to consider using Twitter to search for any outages with your network provider.
i'm on O2, and live in an area where i'll get a decent connection in one room while getting a bad connection in another (usually my bedroom!)
When I get connection issues, I use Twitter to see if it's a UK-wide issue, or if it's just problem in my local area. I find it to be more informative in this situation than any kind of forum, since it's about as real-time as you can get.
And the best thing is, you don't even need an account to use the search! http://search.twitter.com
Is this normal?

I'll try to make this as short as possible.
Connectivity issues everywhere but work.
I have been speaking with T-mobile for atleast 3 weeks about my ongoing data connectivity issues, I rarely had 3g except for at work, and edge worked most of the time except for random data outages that seemed to last about 30 min or until I rebooted the device.
So about a week ago I had 2 more Service requests opened, you need 3 in order to aquire a trouble ticket with t-mobile. About 1-2 days after having these service requests opened, I started receiving pop ups "unable to connect to epc.tmobile.com" I would then have to manually turn my data connect back on, upon trying to power it on, it would prompt me to manage my connections or create a new one, I would then have to edit the apn and resave it.
So I thought well lets try one of the other apn's same issue except no pop up, my data connection would just drop, and I would have to turn it on and off 3 or 4 times. So I wiped the device and restored back to orginal settings- same issue.
I called t-mobile yesterday to check the status of my tickets after not being called back as promised for like the 8th time, I ended up telling the story to about 7 different people, Eventually coming to the conclusion that they first want to send me a replacement. So ok no big deal $10 bucks for shipping and $10 bucks to replace my armor. Lo and behold today it works amazing not 1 3g drop, slacker has not stopped playing in the middle of a song and my data connection has not randomly turned off.
EXCEPT
When I send or receive data in the form of a text msg.
Data will totally drop, It will come back as soon as I try to browse the web or wait about 5-10 minutes.
Any ideas?
If it isn't full 3G, then the data connection will pause to receive the text message.

How can you tell if its full strength? I read that the bars do not mean that 3g is full strength, just that the cell service is.
Either way, I have full bars and it does this at any location I test from.
It's just strange that everytime I speak with T-mobile my phone symptoms totally change.

Sorry, I meant when it is EDGE or GPRS, rather than HSDPA/3G.
Sometimes mine pauses a 3G connection too, but not all the time.

Ahh ok I see, good to know it shouldn't do it all the time , especially at places it did not happen prior.
Tested my gf's HD2 which is currently half way across Phoenix, Arizona. She now has the same disconnect from data problem after receiving a text with a picture.
