After using WM 2003 I downgraded to te original 02-rom (3.17.03) everything works fine, but i cant connect to GPRS. I used the o2 auto-config tool an tried to make a connection manualy, with no succes.
I never messed with the radio-rom (4.21)
The phone works fine, so it isn't a hardware problem???????? (correct me if i'm wrong)
I tried soft and hard resets, deleted connections and made new ones. I'm out of idees. Can anyone help me? :?: :?:
this has happened to me on a number of occasions, especially after playing around with different versions. what i would suggest is re-autoconfig then wait, its as though the system (O2) needs time to realise there is a new phone on the network. it sometimes takes a few hours then everything works as usual.

I've had similar problems with T-Mobile after upgrading roms.
The solution has always been to call them and they reset your connection on their end.
(No idea what that means but I imagine there is a big switchboard with everyone's name and the tech walks over and flips my switch!)
This has happended 2 or 3 times and their reset always fixed the problem.
GPRS suddenly started working again! (done nothing)
I guess it was provider problem... (3 days!!!! :evil: )
I'm having the same problem now. I upgraded to 4.00.16 and Radio ROM 6.24 2 weeks ago and yesterday the GPRS stopped working. I called T-Mobile. They tried everything and now opened a ticket.
Any ideas on what may be causing this?
Ive got the same problem. Got my main board replaced. Recieved the phone back. Installed new 2003 OS now GPRS wont connect. Im 120% sure ive got the settings wright. Bugger Bugger Bugger!

Mines fixed. I forced Vodafone in NZ to remove my GPRS account and recreat it. Works perfect now.
I'm writing from my XDA via GPRS. GPRS mysteriously came back after 3 days.

Hey all,
I am hoping somebody will have a solution to my problem as it is driving me mad.
I have an 02 XDA Atom Exec & am on the T-Mobile network in the UK & I am unable to connect to the T-Mobile GPRS service.
I have put in the correct setting but for some reason it keeps trying to connect then eventually come up with a notice that Cannot Connect & that the answering modem has disconnected.
I do not understand what this means & by the sound of it neither do T-Mobile customer services, but understandly maybe as they don't do it!!!
I hope one of you guys can help me with this problem.
Thanks Guys.
can you check with another sim card?
maby different operator?
If you will have same problem, the source in GSM module, otherwise, go to your operator.
hi, i have the same problem with my atom on UK Vodafone, it says it connects fine, but then cant locate any web pages or anything like that!
Hi,
I have tried with my vodafone PAYG sim card with the vodafone settings & it works fine, but still having problems with my T-Mobile sim.
I think I may have to phone customer service again & try get a solution from them otherwise I will cancel the web & walk & just keep the free minutes.
Spuddle, I have tried with the Vodafone sim & mine worked fine, Are you sure you have the Vodafone settings on there???
im sure i have, because it will connect, and says connected, just when i go to ie it keeps saying any web / wap page cant be located.
where did you get the settings from??
thanks!
I got the settings from http://www.filesaveas.com/gprs.html.
Let me know if they are the same settings that you used, If it saying that it was unable to load up the page do a reset ot try closing down running programs & try again.
its still not working!
I have just got a T-Mobile account with the Web'n'Walk and I am experiencing the exact same problems.
I have used my Atom Exec on Vodafone AU, Vodafone UK, O2 UK and they all connect straight away. (and when the SIM is inserted there is a G in the top next to the telephone signal strength)
But as soon as i put in the T-Mobile SIM in the G is no longer there and it is an X and when i try to connect i get the error:
Dialed:general.t-mobile.uk
The answering modem has disconnected
Version:
CMOS:55.44
ExtROM:EX0033
Hardware:C1
Radio:R060711N_MN2ARC_RS00013
ROM:20060721B1WWE
faulkss, That is exactly the same message that I get.
Have you tried phoning up T-Mobile at all???
Yeah like 5 times!
And I have even gone in to a T-Mobile store...
They have nothing at all!!! They all say that the settings are all correct, my SIM is GPRS enabled, and that there is nothing that they can do.
I have put my SIM in an MDA Vario and it works like a dream???
So last night I was going through the registry on the MDA and looking for keys that I did not have and then manually entering them... but still no luck.
I am guessing that there is some setting somewhere that the SIM is looking for and does not find, hence the X instead of the G.
To be honest I think that I am in a little over my head.
But I have just signed up to this so that I could use Push email, and it is like 5 days into a 12 month contract, so I really want to get it to work!
Steve
Well I have called them again, and they have no idea and really don’t want to find out why as they have never heard of the ATOM Exec (poor them as they are missing out).
So I have just cancelled my contract with them, and since I have only had it for 5 days there is no penalty.
I am going to sign up for an O2 plan and add the blackberry (£10) option on it.
It might be an extra 10er a month on the T-Mobile plan, but at least I will have everything that I want.
Steve
Yeah, good on you!!!
If T-Mobile can't be arsed to help you they do not deserve the money you would have given the.
The only thing is that I am on 18 month contract with about 9 months remaining, so the choice for me will be to either sell the Atom Exec ( even though I love it!!!) or go back to my trusty MDA Vario.
Decisions, Desisions!!!!
I have until monday when i send it back to get it working... and i have been looking on the msdn site at programming different settings in the regitry...
if i get it before monday i will let you know
Steve
Thanks dude.
did not get it to work which is a shame!
I am sure that it is to do with the settings within the registry, but no matter what i tried nothing seemed to work.
Sorry
Steve
Thats cool dude, at least you gave it a go.
Did you cancel your T-Mobile contract???
yeah ... in time no to have to pay anything
I had problems twice connecting via GPRS. The latest one on the imate JAMin (HTC Prophet). I had to delete the GPRS modem and created new one with different name but same settings and it worked. Good Luck.
it works fine on an imate jam ... it does not work on the atom exec's
I’m having my Hermes now since January 2007. In the last months I was flashing a lot of different Roms and Radios, everything was okay until at about October or something like this.
In September 2007 I went to Egypt because of a business trip, I stayed there until end of February. When I left Austria, I had Edhaas SuperD-Lite and Radio 1.48.00 on my Hermes, both was running without any problems.
In Egypt I noticed that nobody from Austria was able to call me, I thought by myself this is because of some problems with the roaming.
When I came back to Austria end of February I was told from my friends that they couldn’t reach me always, very often they where connected to the mobile box. I noticed something similar, sometimes when I tried to make a phone call it was not possible. In all this cases my hermes showed me 100% net.
So I started to flash different Roms and Radios, I switched off HSDPA, I was setting the band from auto to GSM and so on. All this things were working for maybe one day, but that the problem started again. So I installed the officially HTC WM6 version including Radio and ExtRom without any software in addition, but again – the same. Finally I bought a prepaid sim card to test another sim, but still the same. My “old” sim card is working w/o problems in another phone.
Now I’m completely out of ideas what to do next (beside sending the phone to HTC).
Any ideas what else I could do?
Edit: I noticed now with my normal simcard in another phone again problems in sending a sms and making a phone call. I had to resend the sms 3 times before it worked, then I tried to make a phone call and it didn't work the first time. So maybe its my simcard too?
Is this a normal thing to happen??
I have a htc hero, unlocked on O2 UK and i can not get on the marketplace at all even though i have setup a google account with the browser and everything.
Does seem strange to me.
I have moved from a HTC Diamond, and im loving this this phone, this is the only strange problem i can find,
I have read that i sometimes matters if google has registered the carrier's or something. Is this the case with O2
If you have this phone and you are on O2 let me know your experiences
Thanks
I also have an unlocked handset on 02 UK, but the market works fine for me.
hmm
Wonder why its not working for me then its nothing major ill just upload from my laptop. Strange ay any suggestions would be good
message i get
This maybe a temporary problem or your sim card may not be provisioned for data access
But my internet connection is fine works with my pop addresses and the browser fine strange
Did you sign in with your google details when you started your phone for the first time? Some people have had problems doing it at a later date. My mate did a hard reset and then it worked (by using the first time wizard).
Have you tried a hard reset?
hard reset
No not done a hard reset I was thinking along similar lines as you guys series a software bug there.
I don't really need it and can't be bothered doing a hard reset just yet ill keep it in mind though for when I do though cheers peeps
Market works for me too on a Sim Free Hero on my o2 contract sim.
Hi. I've been using my hermes for a while now and playing with different upgrades without ever having a problem. I've never tried to use mobile internet (GPRS/3G/EDGE) before though. I started trying recently when my ISP became so bad i could barely load a webpage.
No matter what i do the hermes wont even attempt to connect. (I used my electic guitar pickups to detect the radio bleeps. I get them when making a call but not when attempting gprs).
Here is a rough outline of the roms i remember trying:
Schaps 4.30 (with whatever radio it came with)
CRCs 13.4 (with the radio it came with and with 1.48 radio to try and get connected)
Orange UK rom (SPV_M3100_ROMUpdate_0407), radio 1.38
(all with Hard-SPL-2.10 installed)
I'm on Orange UK, and I've even tried downgrading to the latest orange rom (the one with 1.38 radio). Still no joy. I bought the one day access to orange world thing (about 4 times :O), and tried connecting using orange internet and orange wap connections.
Is my radio forever fried/bricked for some reason? Any help would be appreciated, as I dont fancy trying to get my old imate sp5 to connect to the net . Looks like I might be forking out for a new phone
PS. Wifi internet works fine, as do voice calls.
Did you check the MMS/WAP settings as these are lost when loading a new rom. Either run the carrier configurator (if included in the ROM) or get the settings from your provider and do it manually...
Thanks for the reply ultramag. I tried the configurator when I had the CRC 13.4 rom installed. It seemed to set up the settings for wap the same as on oranges configuration site. I assumed that my phone must be being blocked for not being an orange rom or the radio version was incompatible. I then tried radio version 1.48 as i read somewhere that this worked with orange uk. Then i tried installing the orange full phone rom including orange version of wm5 and the orange radio rom 1.38. I suspect this could be a physical hardware fault as i have opened up the phone before to fix the earphone speaker and camera.
I wonder is the voice call chip separate from the one that does GPRS? or is it a one chip deal?
Also, it is a very old sim card. Could this contribute in any way?
mmm if its an old sim card it probably cant do 3g but gprs should work.
perhaps your current radio rom does not support data somehow? or you havent got all your settings configured properly... its all i can think of...
I tried a vodafone payg sim card from someone elses phone, and it came up with a 3G symbol on the start bar at the top. I couldnt connect however, but according to the vodafone website you dont have to explicitly pay to get to the www.live.vodafone.com site? Or am I wrong?
Getting the 3G symbol with vodafone suggests I might be getting close to a solution here. Also connecting and disconnecting the 3g box on comm manager caused radio bleeps which suggests it is capable of 3g. Looks like my beef is with orange/vodafone and not the Hermes. Typical!
Thanks for all your help guys. I'll post if it ever works.
try your carriers website for gprs specific settings =) i know i had to edit my settings before mine would work..
Problem solved
I've finally sold this problem. It was the SIM card and nothing to do with the phone. I never managed to get through to Orange tech support because theyre useless (last time i phoned they said their tech support systems would be down for 5 hours).
A friend had an Orange SIM and I tried MMS (which uses GPRS) with his SIM in the Hermes and it worked fine. I then tried it with my SIM and it failed as usual. Sorry for wasting peoples time with this.
P.S. Orange sucks. I will be switching service ASAP.
Hi i would really appreciate if any one can help me.
i had no problem with my phone till today. Today i was using igo8 and i minimized it to make a call. but the call dint go through. and since after that i could not make or receive any calls.
The problem is i cannot get signal in my phone. i am able to connect to wifi, bluetooth and gps but no gsm signal.
i have Elegancia v10.0 rom and radio version 2.10.50.
I tried changing the radio but it doent help.
thank you for reading this post.
Has the phone turned the radio off?? by anychance?
have you tried a soft reset maybe a hard reset is on the way
thank you for the reply.
Yes i performed soft and hard reset. flash stock rom and stock radio. but still no signal. i tried to use it on android but still no signal. i dont know whats wrong with it.
Hey guys. I'm a Vodafone TR user lately. I was happily using my HD2 for two weeks until one morning I found out that there was no connection. I tried both soft and hard reset. My phone was not imported by the distributer so I made the IMEI no recorded. (For info, in Turkey, if the IMEI no is not recorded in the national GSM system, the phone will be blocked in a few days). But it is not working again. So this evening I tried to use my wife's SIM card which belongs to another GSM operator-TR TURKCELL. What a surprise! It is working very well. Weird huh?
So what I am doing wrong?
ROM is 1.43.405.1
Radio is 2.04.50.22_2
