I have searched this and other forums and have not seen either this problem or an answer to it. Per AT&T's suggestion, I just upgraded to the new AT&T rom version that adds PTT and seems to have big problems. My current issue is that when I first boot up and connect via GPRS/3G all works well. When I get to a wifi area and switch to wifi, again all works well. However when I leave the wifi area (or just turn off wifi) I can't get any data via GPRS/3G. The balloon comes up saying it is connecting. The little "G" and bidirectional arrows in the top left indicate it is connected. However in the browser, it just continues to grind away with "Locating" in the bottom right corner until it finally times out and puts up a screen that says that the "page cannot be displayed because the connection was lost". I open the connection manager and press and hold the "Data Connection" icon until that goes off and try again, same problem. The only way I can get GPRS/3G data connection to actually work again is to reboot. Any ideas what is going on or how this can be fixed? Forgot to add that this is an HTC 8525. Thanks.
From your description I wasn't able determine whether AT&T's suggestion was aimed at remedying the issue, or if it's something that came about with the update.
Assuming the latter, you may want to try a hard reset first and run it for a bit before loading any other apps. Failing that, reflash the ROM. I had a lot of trouble with my radio when my 8525 was new, but it mysteriously cleared up after a few radio flashes.
Thanks but still a problem
Thanks for your thoughts here. I hard reset and reflashed.
Yes the firmware is the latest one that AT&T has suggested that everyone who had the older Cingular phones upgrade to. It provides the AT&T logo, the "push to talk" feature, and some other junk. I have contacted AT&T about this and their response was to send me a new phone that they claimed had the old firmware, since they have been getting a lot of complaints about the new firmware. It didn't have the old firmware and also it's SIM card reader appears to be broken. I called HTC and they said that they too have had lots of complaints about the new firmware quirks but had nothing to offer to solve them. Anyway, the old firmware had no problem switching between wifi and CGRS so I don't think it is in the hardware. On the other hand I'm surprised that nobody else is encountering the problem from the upgrade.
I'm having the same prob. Purchase three of these phones and the other users have little technical expertise. First I set up a sync with my office PC. Then loaded the ROM update. I run MAC's @ home had difficulty connecting to my home wifi. Finally determined that the 8525 would not accept the 13 key ASCII wep password. Needed to use the HEX. So I connected. Went to work and had problems syncing with my PC. Active sync had to rediscover the device. Now I'm back home and can't connect again. My Device ID changed names upon "resyncing" and I updated the Airport Base Station with my new name. I've spent a lot of time on this issue.. Maybe I need to send em back for an iPhone!
Well I found a solution to it
This is a great forum - though somewhat hard to search through thoroughly. Anyway the solution for me was to go back to ROM 1.34. Found how to do that through flashing from the micro card at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=311704&highlight=cingular+8525+rom+version and getting the production ROM version at http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Upgrades. Back to normal - everything works fine. Just for a trial, I also downloaded ROM V2.1.1 and it works find also - but sure seems a bit large - ends up with 42.9M of storage free vs V1.34 that has 50.25. Think I'll try the the memory expansion process at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298327&highlight=want+more+storage. That seems to at least provide a more than 9 megabyte smaller MBH file but I don't know what that translates to in memory usage yet.
Suspect there is a way to fix this problem but I haven't seen anything in the forums on it.
Hi everyone,
First I'd like to thank those fearless tinkerers that produced (and explained the how-to) the Froyo upgrades for the Huawei s7-104.
I actually bought the device only AFTER downloading the Indonesian upgrade (that was-and still is-the extension of my faith in you).
The process worked like a charm and I successfully checked and confirmed that the new version matched the claimed upgrade.
I later managed to root the device and now even enjoy a longer battery life thanks to CPU Master set on "on demand".
The only problems I encountered were:
- Sometimes the screen orientation gets stuck in horizontal or vertical and the device needs to be rebooted to unlock the orientation. This is minor and doesn't bother me that much.
-I have lost 3G connectivity and neither the carrier nor a mobile lab has managed to get a shred of data into the device with anything but WiFi.
The Network pane says that it's connected and should receive data.
The APN settings should now be reviewed and corrected since I brought the device to the carrier's office and, after their failure to fix the problem, to the lab (they told me they did anyway).
The SIM was then taken out and connected into another device. It received data merrily, proving satisfactorily (at least to the C.Y.A. carrier) that they could not help me further.
Everything else works beautifully, phone, WiFi, GPS, everything...
Any idea? I live in Mexico and the carrier is Movistar.
Thank you in advance.

screen orientation quick fix
can't comment on the 3G problem din really face it
you can try flashing to another rom
Zmey Mod from Belarus! would be a good choice
for screen orientation just install shake n rotate from the market
it's just a quick fix which can settle the problem
Thanks for the shake'n rotate tip! I'll try it!
Never heard of the zmey mod from Belarus. Is it in english or in local lenguage? I'll try to find it anyway.
Anybody out there who's actually had the same network connectivity problem that I've had? Can't be the only one right?
Thanks again,
Thimage
Connectivity recovered
I finally recovered connectivity by looking for the right APN on the web and I found it here:
decibel-elektrobeat.blogspot.com/2011/04/3g-de-movistar-configurado-en-xperia.html
The reason why it didn't work before is because for some reason it is not enough to correct the APN after flashing the Rom. You have to delete it and create a new one.
It works fine now.
Thanks. T
Hello, does anyone have an idea what's wrong with a E900 I have? It used to work just fine, and it still does, but it keeps deactivating WiFi. It also is not able to find _any_ WiFi network at all though it says it is searching. The rest works. Anything I can do apart from sending it to LG?
The phone is running 7.5, though I'm trying to update it to 7.8.
A hard reset didn't help. And as soon as I go back to the main settings page (from the place I can activate WiFi) it is turned off. So go in there, turn on, go back, off. Rinse and repeat.
Sounds like a defective part to me...
Bluetooth does work, and so does the FM radio. Aren't they all supposed to be in one chip?
I've had some problems with my E900 which only a double hard reset solved the problem, but nothing with the wifi. But always worth a try
I have a similar problem, after a certain update, wifi is buggy, and doesn't get a proper ip from my router. I'm positive it's a software problem. Any suggestions?

everything is running great apart from the play store, when i try and sign in i get
"cant establish a reliable connection to the server.
this could be a temporary problem or your Android device may not be provisionedfor data services. If it continues,call customercare.
now i have tried the following;
checked time and date and timezone.
updated play store.
tried clearing cach/data.
format option from system.
edited host file.
tried setting up email account.
all of which didnt work still giveing me the same error,
just tried format from the recovery option and once i got back in play store wasnt even there so i will install tomorrow when i get a chance.
has any one had this prob b4, if yes was you able to fix??
Eonon wants me to send unit back but i dont want to risk getting one back that has other problems.
the only reason i even want to sign in is so i can download the offline maps from google maps
i dont want to try the custom rom yet as there is a year warranty, unless i can make a copy of this rom just incase.
my last thought was may be making a back up of the store and maps and data on my phone with titanium and restoring them to the HU hoping that would bypass the prob but im guessing this would give me more prob then would solve.
Update -
it seems they just sent me a update file to try, will try it later when I get home. I also tried reinstalling play store still no good so fingers x the update they sent will fix this.
The file they sent me does that mean I have the there rom so I could try the custom one and revert back if needed with it (uncompressed it's 728.24mb)???
Thanks
Update
So I updated the unit and didn't make a difference,
But I have got it work - there was finally a space to park in front of the house, so I was able to connect to my wifi and it signed in, so it seems to be a problem when using a hotpot from the phone that seems to block Google sign in, coz it works with maps and tune in.
Does anyone have a work around for this problem, so I can use the hotspot coz parking on my road is a right pain so wifi is a pain but the hotspot is best.
I have the exact same model and it works with the mobile hotspot. I have contract with EE. While we're here, When u try to update from the system what message comes out? I got this message "no update image file". And another question, when I connect my phone by usb Evrythingworks fine like charging and easyconnection app, but when I go in explorer can't get to my phone files images etc to transfer them to the unit. Does it happen the same with u?
Hi m8, are you able to sign in and download from the play store? I'm on the three network, I wounder if its network related ??
Regarding the update, yea it would find the file but I found that it would fail in the GPS slot I had to use the USB connecters and I ended up doing it from the recovery menu, I would recommend using 4gb card/USB for best results,
With connecting my phone I only tried it once and it worked easyconnect came up and so on but I didn't try transferring files from my phone to unit will try it later after work and see what happens.
Hi guys, I'll apologise straight off for going slightly off-topic, but it doesn't look to have been asked elsewhere and I'm getting nowhere with Eonon as to whether or not the GA6162F will fit the facelift Mk4 Mondeo (2011-2014), can any of you help? I'd love to get one in and start tinkering...
Cheers in advance.
Hi Dogmanov, as long as its the same shape as the one you have installed it should be fine - I did buy one for my dad a few years back for his mondeo the old eonon running wince it worked great ,I think his was a 2011 model but can't really remamber.

Thanks cyber2k1! Time to sneak it past the Finance Committee and get playing...
I had the same exact issue same exact unit, I got mine working eventually, I was playing around in the settings and changing things for hours so I dot know exactly what I did. I think it worked after I rebooted my phone and change time settings to the correct zone...I was really all over the place so I'm not exactly sure what I did to make it work again.
So update I'm back to not being able to connect to play store through wifi hotspot on my phone...I didn't change anything from yesterday. All settings are the same. The only thing done was I turned off the car and came back to drive again in the morning. I can connect through home wifi. Gonna try and duplicate the things I did yesterday and will report back if I can get it to connect.
Found out what to do
So the way to fix this, at least for me is to connect to my phones hotspot and then while still connected reboot my phone....weird I know...
Eonon GA6162F hard reset
Hi guys.
Just bought a 2008 Mondeo with this head unit. Seems to have a problem with some of the windows in some apps and screens. Keyboard does not pop up and bottom row of the phone screen does not select when selected. Want to hard reset the unit and start fresh. How do you do it. Did soft reset with reset button but no different?
Hello, I also have exactly this model for a couple of years, I would like to know how I can do a Hard reset since it is going very slow and I barely have things installed, any ideas? Thank you
Greetings from a newbie!
I'm in the process of installing a Joying JY-UO128N4G (Intel Octa-Core 1,8 4gb ram 32gb ROM) in my 07 Volvo V70.
So far it has gone well ( apart from the volume being stuck at max, regadless of the volume being set to 0, 1, 2 etc - did not matter - it was still maxed out. This morning it was miraculously OK..), but I have a problem with 4G connectivity. The unit comes with a built in 4G card, and I've installed a SIM in it, and everythign seems in order. When the HU boots, it connects to the mobile network, and it indicates 4G. It even displays up/download "arrows", to indicate traffic. Brilliant.
However - here is the issue: Apps don't get internet connectivity!
Being new to Android, but fairly familiar with many other mobile devices, I think one or more of these remarks might be the cause:
- Wrong / no APN settings. Have seen other equipment indicate 4G, but no connectivity, due to lack of correct APN-settings. Can't find where to input/change them in the Joying ROM? Maybe it must be rooted?
- Some sort of software blocking of apps while on the move? No app I've tried works during driving/car being parked. Maybe the unit needs to be fired up via some other way than with the ignition key..?
- A bug.
Strangely, Spotify worked breafly, but I figured that might be down to some caching, and not the 4G miraculously started working..
I will try to contact Joying about this, but don't recon Google Translate will do me any favours..
Any help is appreciated!
This thing is absolutely amazing - it mends itself!
I did a complete software re-install of the latest firmware. Now it suddenly works again. Good!
Got the latest firmware from here the Joyingauto.eu site.

what country are you in and what sim card did you do with? how do you get a cell company to activate it?
Hi!
Im in Norway.
The problem was that the unit used an ancient APN-setting (probably due to the age of the sim card), which no longer work. I don't know why it worked the first boot, but after a reboot, there was no more LTE.
Problem was/is that some genius at Joying has decided that a black background color is brilliant in the settings app. Too bad Google has black/grey as the font color, which clashes with the black backround, making changing the APN settings pretty hard! I had to result to do make the changes at night, when there was no sunlight interference. It worked.
I didn't have to do anything to make it work with the service provider. As far as they are concerned, this is yet another Android based tablet..
One annoyance I have left to solve on my unit, is that the File Manager app keeps popping up on its own accord, randomly. I've been in contact with Joying, but their only solution is to update the software - which I've done, to no avail.

Thanks - I've done that one time already. It didn't solve the issue, but hopefully they have it under control now, and have a new version available for download.
I have a similar JOYING 10.1 4GB/32GB with a 3G/4G adapter for internet.
Could someone please recommend a service here in the US that would help me to get this unit online.
Thanks

I just bought the same unit( Florida) did you ever get the SIM card that works with the unit?
