does anyone know where the timeout for the active data (GPRS/UMTS) connection is located? i've wandered the registry on my 8525, but didn't see it...also didn't see any info in the general or hermes registry wiki pages.
before upgrading to AKU3.3 (cingular 2.06 ROM), my data connection used to stay up for a long time even when unused, sometimes staying connected for 30 minutes or more without active data. now it's only staying up for about a minute before it disconnects again - this can lead to a reconnect delay every time i load a new page in PIE. when i had the original cingular 1.34 ROM, the connection worked fine.
i haven't made any changes to my account, so i don't think this is network related. this issue occurs regardless of APN, and my other two data devices (using the same APN) do not experience this. if i switch sim cards, the 8525 continues to drop the connection.
anyone have an idea on this? searching on the forums pulled up threads related to keeping the connection alive indefinitely, but this doesn't appear to be a great option as it continually tries to reconnect (with the popup bubble blocking the screen) in areas with poor/no signal.

well...as i expected, there is no client side timeout and the problem does appear to be related to the APN. i retested using wap.cingular, isp.cingular, and internet...and the problem only occurs when using isp.cingular or internet. wap.cingular doesn't appear to timeout at all (or at least over 15 minutes), while the others now drop 60 seconds after the last data transfer.
i know isp.cingular hasn't always disconnected after 60 seconds...something must have changed on the server side in the last couple weeks. my guess is that cingular is feeling a squeeze on public ip allocation due to the increase in data devices, and this is their solution. wap.cingular uses private ip blocks, and as such there is no problem with limited ip addresses.
because of the timing, i just attributed the issue to the 2.06 rom upgrade. hope this helps someone else!
Thank you for taking the trouble to update on that point. Useful info.

more APN tests
after doing some tests to figure out why my data connection was being dropped every 60 seconds...i've come up with some interesting information. testing done with an 8525 w/cingular 2.06 ROM and an option gt max 3.6, and their respective sim cards (8525 w/pda connect, gt max w/laptop connect) swapped between the two.
cingular 8525 / pda connect sim card
wap.cingular with proxy functions normally and does not timeout.
wap.cingular without proxy functions normally and does not timeout.
isp.cingular functions normally, but times out after 60 seconds of inactivity.
internet functions normally, but times out after 60 seconds of inactivity.
option gt max 3.6 / laptop connect sim card
wap.cingular functions normally and does not timeout.
isp.cingular functions normally and does not timeout.
internet functions normally and does not timeout.
cingular 8525 / laptop connect sim card
wap.cingular with proxy functions normally and does not timeout.
wap.cingular without proxy functions normally and does not timeout.
isp.cingular functions normally, times out after 60 seconds of inactivity.
internet functions normally, times out after 60 seconds of inactivity.
option gt max 3.6 / pda connect sim card
wap.cingular functions normally and does not timeout.
isp.cingular functions normally and does not timeout.
internet functions normally and does not timeout.
routing was disabled to prevent any stray packets from keeping the connection alive when using the laptop data card, and there was no change in the sent/received kb. used a DUN connection, so there is no chance of the card's software interfering with the connection.
it appears that the isp.cingular and internet connections only times out when used with the 8525, and not with the data card. so now i'm back to examining the 8525 as the issue again...either there really was a change in the cingular 2.06 ROM, or maybe this indicates some kind of IMEI checking when attaching the PDP context (and setting the connection timeout)?
I have two issues with my xv6800 dealing with 802.11 (wifi).
1) when I turn the phone off, the email sync does not work on the timer interval set in the email settings. I work in a metal building that has very limited cell coverage, but does have wifi. I would like for the wifi to sync on the regular programmed schedule.
2) I connect to a WPA2-TKIP-PEAP network. The network is configured properly and I can sync my email, but sometimes when the device wakes up and tries to automatically connect to the network, it will prompt me for my username and password. The username is cached, but the password gets lost even with the "save password" toggle button set. This is rather annoying since I'd like for the device to automatically wake up at a set interval and sync the email. This issue is intermittent, most of the time the device wakes up and connects without the pasword prompt.
Note: A resolution for item #1 above was to write a custom C++ application that uses the CeRunAppAtTime function to wake the device up at a set interval. This works except for when issue #2 above occurs.
Any suggestions?
Hi
Not sure if this is phone specific, android or my vpn provider!
I've just signed up with Black VPN and and I've entered the pptp settings into my phone.
I connect and for about 5 - 10 seconds everything is fine, I can surf the web etc but then the data stops! The vpn stays connected but no data is getting through.
The vpn works fine on my computer, going through the same wifi connection and router, same settings being entered.
Can anyone help? Looking to watch the bbc iplayer whilst over here in the us on my phone...
Is it android related? http://code.google.com/p/android/is...D+Type+Status+Owner+Summary+Stars&cells=tiles
Thanks
Hey,
I have been facing this issue over at my college Wifi . The connection is WPA_EAP secured that requires you to login with ID/Pass to connect . The wifi connects fine but after that when i go to the browser it requires me to login to a local server and install certificate
In browser it shows to continue with the certificate . When i press continue it should take me to a pop-up for login which never comes instead it just goes to a blank page.
this process works fine on Iphone and others but the problem lies with Android.
Any solutions?
Any solution guys
I am using Samsung Galaxy Note 4 (SM-910F) with android 4.4.4 (Kitkat). I had issues connecting to internet over Wifi. Internet connectivity drops and when a browser is opened the webpages do not load and give 'proxy server error' or similar wording. It can be intermittent but sometimes needed restart of device or switching to mobile network to fix it. When I go to settings - Wifi - long press my wifi network - modify network config - tick show advanced options - the proxy is set to manual with proxy host name and proxy port fields filled. When I set the Proxy to None and save the internet connectivity is restored. However, the problem recurred and when I check the settings the proxy is set to manual again automatically! In my case this issue is due to Kaspersky Internet Security. I was running Kaspersky Internet Security 11.3 and after upgrading it to 11.8.0.130 (current latest) the issue has resolved. When proxy setting is set to none it no longer automatically resets to manual. After KIS update there have been no proxy server error when connecting to the internet.
