Magician and Blue Angel GPRS “Cannot Connect” Fix

After watching for months the issues that many have suffered over this problem, I finally found a solution that will fix all the woes.
A few months ago I was one of the many here that upgraded to 1.11 ROM, had the problem. It drove me crazy to the point that I went back to the 1.06 ROM that was rock solid. Well the other day I did a hard reset to have a clean slate. While looking at the Extended ROM I saw the file DefaultV_1.12 in the EXT Rom (Compared 1.11 ROM on FTP to my device). This was the same file that a XDA developer member had modified to somewhat solve the GPRS problem a few months ago.
At this point I had a hypothesis, so I pulled the same file from the older 1.06 ROM which was rock solid and did not have the “Cannot Connect” problem. In this EXT ROM it is named Default_Version_WWE_106150.sa.CAB.
Installed it first on my Blue Angel as a guinea pig, then for the next three hours I would sit there and disconnect and reconnect. I did it manually by holding the red button to disconnect, then I would reconnect to another webpage, then would have a call come in while in the middle of the GPRS session which would suspend it. After done with the phone call I would reconnect manually by clicking connect as well as by just hitting a link on the webpage.
The Results: No “Cannot Connect” problem.
So off I went to my Magician:
Upgraded to 1.11(I have 850 JAM)
Installed Default_Version_WWE_106150.sa.CAB
Put the phone through its paces, I have been disconnecting and reconnecting without a single problem. I receive phone calls that suspend the GPRS session and I am able to reconnect without a problem. Activesync is able to make OTA connections without a hitch.
During my trials I used the same programs:
Which included:
Photo Contacts(newest version)
Activesync
WEBIS Mail 2
xVbar
PocketZenPhone
Regking 2003
As the only variable throughout the trials was Default_Version_WWE_106150.sa.CAB
This is the solution folks.
At least until someone says it does not work.
Installation Steps:
1. Download CAB that I have attached.
2. Copy over to device
3. Install
4. Soft Reset.

1st of all let me say this is a great site for the HTC devices, I found it years ago when i had the first XDA (Wallaby i think) and now i own a O2 Mini.
I have just installed your patch and i'll let you know how it goes.

I wonder if this patch does the same as the "downgrading" of the caller id as detailed in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=20428
The downgrade has been succesful for blue angel users too.

Many thanks for posting this information.
For a relative newbie like me who has never manually fiddled with ROM files, can you please explain what I actually have to do to "install" the CAB file, i.e. in which directory on the device do I put it, and how do I run it?
- Peter

Once copied over to the device just place it where you can find it using the file explorer. Once located using the file explore simply click on it and it will install on its own. Do a soft reset and enjoy.
Crisscross: The Photo Contact solution that people have found only alleviates the problem a little, not entirely.
In my trials it has solved my problems completly. I wish for other members who try it out to report back as well to see whether all my trials were just a fluke, or our solution.

don't work for me
don't work for me. same problem as before, can't connect due unknown reason.
thanks anyway.

Orcas what is your ROM?

The downgrade of caller-id to an earlier version has also solved the problem totally for me and several other people, both blue-angel and magician users. Thats why I was curious just what your patch did. Seems that it is something similar, you are maybe downgrading more of the rom?
Did you try downgrading of the caller-id first? Not just photo contacts but downgrade to the specified earlier build of caller-id?

Hi there,
Just thought I'd report that I've just installed it. My ExtROM now reports as 1.06.150 WWE.
And... so far, so good!!! I've connected/disconnected to GPRS multiple times, interrupted GPRS with a phone call and then reconnected, have sent files to my device via BT while GPRS is on, and still no problem. It's looking very good!!!
And I'd swear it connects faster than it did previously.
Anyway, I'll keep hammering at it over the weekend and report back on Monday.
Thanks again randomshots!

Well, I'm back already, because I still have the problem. DARN IT!!!!!! :x
The thing that made it happen was that I made a phone call while GPRS was on. When I ended the call and tried to reconnect to GPRS, I got the blasted error. So it seems that receiving a phone call does not cause the error to happen, but making a call does. At least for me.
Oh well, it was worth a try. Back to the drawing board.

Same problem in Hong Kong
I upgraded to ROM v1.11 a few days ago and since then I have the GPRS connection error after 1 or 2 connections. Soft reset will solve the problem. This problem was not encountered at all before the ROM upgrade. It must be the new ROM that mess things up!

As this "default cab" from an old rom seems to solve the problem and also an older version of caller-id solves it there is probably something wrong in the communication between caller-id and some of the customisations from this cab on newer roms. Btw the problem is also in 1.12 roms.
Nice too see that we have two possible solutions here, I will stick to the downgrade of caller-id as it has solved the problem totally for me but it would be interesting to know what the real cause is...

Hi again. Just to answer the previous question to my post: my rom version is 1.12.00 WWE, radio 1.12.00, extrom now says 1.06.150. i think the only thing this cab changes is this rom number, nothing else
orcas

orcas,
I believe you are absolutely right. When the extended rom has finished installing the programs, it runs this .cab file to 'brand' the Magician with the build number. Nothing more or nothing less. But faith can move mountains, as we all know...

I guess some of you know that there is another (older) thread about GPRS problems. If you do not, there is a link below.
Anyway, I finally tried the most recent suggested fix in that thread (downgrading the device's CallerID program to an earlier version) and like a number of others I can happily report that so far, it has fixed my GPRS cannot connect problem. Looking good.
Here is the thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=20428
- Peter

Just thought I'd share that the second fix I tried (downgrading CallerID) has continued to work for me. I have no more problems with GPRS. All is well with my Magician. At last.

Sorry - I don't use VPN so will leave you in the hands of the experts

i don't know if it is a miracle or what, but after 4 or 5 reinstallation and disintallation of antha, my wifi work again
now i am testing some reboots to be certain that it work.
i am sure, but at the last install and unistall, i shutdown the phone, not reboot it with some application.
simply i shut it down and then start it up. and it worked.
another question:
when the rom 1.61 will come out in my language too, the update is like a hard reset? will i lose the saved data on the integrated memory? or this is simply an update, like on normal computer?
thans for your reply

[Q] Issue processus com.android.exhange

Hello !
Since a couple of weeks, I have a pop-up "sudden shutdown of services exchange , processus com.android.exchange".
I have tried :
- removal. installation of my Exchange Account
- hard / soft reset
- ....
Nothing helps !
Utlimately, I tried "Touchdown " which sems ok, but I lost the native mail client and prefer tis one.
Can anyone help me?
info
Acer iconia 500 32Gb
non rooted
HC 3.2 (not rooted, OTA)
kernel 2.6.36.3+
ROM Acer_A500_7.006.01_COM_GEN1
Thanks to anyone who could help me !
See U

I've been getting this too, but was using ezTerry's ROM so assumed it was something to do with that. But as you're using FOTA, I guess not...

hi
i was getting the same error - so i removed big mails from my mailbox via www.
but this was only shortway solution.
the best is - but you need to have root.
1. extract files email.apk and exchange.apk from taboonay 2.1 rom
2. replace those 2 fil3s in your system/app catalog.
not sure if it will work on stock rom, cause it is not deodexed. taboonay rom does not odex files any more

Thanks for your reply. my main concern is that I am 100% under stock ROM & OTA and that I had since recently no issue with my emails accounts.
is it feasible to have any corrupcy only onthe the apk "mail" or "exhange"? If yes, I have tries to copy/paste with these app extracted from a full downloaded ROM (ie Post in the forum), but since I have un unrooted TAB, cannot change these apk...
surely basic stuff !
No I am quite disappointed and I rely on the assistance which could be provided !
Thanks

had the same problem
I was able to reduce the frequency of this error by changing the sync time (down to three days) and frequency (every 30 minutes). I had the errors on everymail check, and wasn't able to get any mail, with these changes at least mails started to come i.
I had these errors while on stock HC3.2 . When i was on stock 3.1, it never happend.
I then failed back to 3.0.1, and installed taboonay 2.1b, and it works perfectly without any changes..

Thanks for your reply!
I have tried to modify the option but useless..
Does anyone else get the same trouble? any assistance highly appreciated !
See U

Dear All,
Can anyone assist me to solve this issue?
Thanks in advance !
Bye

The answer should be pretty obvious by now, don't you think?

I fixed it by deleting all my emails in exchange. Then I wiped the ACER totally clean and reset up email. The problem went away. I assumed there was a corrupt file in my email or something it did not like. I also wiped my internal sdcard clean. After I did that, I no longer had the issue. I blamed it on having my laptop running, syncing, and then having the tablet running syncing while I was deleting emails on the laptop and then the tablet was trying to load them. Anyway, after I wiped it clean, that solved it.

ok my problem is with the wifi syncronization , what i mean is tha when i connect to a secured wifi network google should save the wifi configurations so whenever i get to the same place it will not need the password again it will connect automatically.
So it was doing that when i had android 4.3 someday i had to update to 4.4.2 with this update my wifi configurations was lost.
I stored them again but after 1 week they are deleted automatically.
Do you understand me??

There is a thread regading the wifi connection problem

Hope you would get solution there

After a hard-long internet search I've discovered that there's an alternative way in which you can eventually recover the information from google's own servers since that's where your device (or past devices) backups/backed up your data. The following link is a guide to this option.
http://jftr.de/2014/01/fairphone-and-android-backups-to-the-google-cloud/
As a reminder, you're the only one responsible for any possible damages involved when "tinkering" with your phone. Adb and root are necessary, so please refrain yourself from continuing if you don't even know these words!
