Hello everybody
I'm using a T-Mobile MDA with a Radio ROM Version of 3.23.00.
I've got the problem of too much GPRS connections.
I wrote a little software (C#) which opens a connection into the internet and contacts a server. The data transferred contains informations about the current IP the radio received from my provider. I can see that the IP changes every 10 to 30 minutes (in steps of 10 minutes).
My question: does anyone know of any bug within the radio unit or its ROM which can be responsible for that amount of connections (about 25 to 30 connections per day)?
Thank you very much in advance.
Monty
EDIT (19.02.2007): Is there a possibility that the device itself turns off the phone module after an unused period? Does anyone of you know something about the reliability of the coorperation between the MDA I and GPS receivers?

Hi Guys,
really dumb question ... how do you disconnect from gprs once connected ?
I can not see an end button anywhere !!!
cheers
i have just worked out that if you disable phone, it turns off GPRS...
surely that is not the correct way to do it? :roll:
sorry to nag .....
does anyone know how to cut gprs once connected ??
maybe its so obvious, noone knows it !
maybe its so easy, no one can be bothered to write ?
let me know please !
install monitor
Install the spb gprs traffic monitor is the answer.
You can also simply tap the signal sign (at the top of today screen), it'll show your GPRS connection and then you can simply tap end buttom Cheers
not on ppc2003 .,... there is no end button on the signal sign :-(
Install the spb gprs traffic monitor is the answer.
-----------------------------
is this the solution for PPc2003 ?? surely there must be an inbuilt feature which allows you to disconnect GPRS without the need of installing other software ??
please advise
I have the same problem and i asked in deffirent places in this forum but no anwser till now.

nope I can not get it to connect to grps at all
i must be doing something wrong? anyone done it ok to 02 uk grps?
This appears to be a "new feature" of WM2003, always on GPRS . It does seem to timeout the connection after a little in-activity.
I'm in the same boat and cant for the life of me imagine why they have programmed this way. I can only imagine it's a bug and will be fixed.
Thought I was just stupid
We'll technically I am I was soft restting to stop it to start with
Looks like I'll have to put on Spb mon
You can also turn off the phone (tap the reception button and click "turn phone off"
and turn it back on !
also cuts GPRS
Right, Ali-Butt, it's also the way I do it ! : turn the phone" off",GPRS is also diseable, then come back to put the phone "on" ... if someone find a better way :idea: ....post-it please
Well the best solution i discovered is to use Sbp GPRS monitor, since you wont benefit from the Auto Connection / Disconnection while checking your email since the device will connect but never d/c. So all connections and d/c and done manually by you instead of using the Off / On methode use the Disconnect button in the GPRS monitor for the time being until they find a solution for this bug and yet you wont have to turn to phone off and on, consume power or someone calling in this exact min to find that your phone is switched off.
If you dont have Sbp GPRS monitor i am whilling to share it with the ppl having this problem.
:wink:
I've installed 2003 and it's all great. A few problems with the syncing but after 3.7 (strange, I had 3.7 anyway though since I've reinstalled it off the MS website it looks different to the 3.7 it used to be??) it did eventually work. Scary few mins though!!
I bought All-locations GPRS counter a few months back, but the one thing it doesn't really have is an end connection button. I also bought SPB's PocketPlus but it's saying that it's not compatible with PPC 2000????? Does anyone else have this problem? I've tried logging onto their website but it seems to be down all the time. This program used to automatically cut the gprs connection if say I'd loaded MSN and then shut it down. Very handy!! If anyone knows how to get past this or where they've put an update to work on 2003, please let me know.
In the meantime ARZLEB, if you could find it in your heart....
Cheers

'Always on' is a great idea, PPC2003 can disconnect automatically and re-connect when a phone call comes in so why is it an issue? The only reason I can think of is cost (if you have something polling the internet racking up MB's).
For delivering mobile applications and corporate push E-mail, this feature is essential.
These devices are not really targeted at the consumer market more at the business user so the carriers will love this feature to deliver extra services and generate GPRS data revenue.
Hi All
the best solution is the easy one , simply press on the hardware button ( the red button ) for about 2 seconds and it will disconnect the GPRS Connections !! easy ha !! :wink:
Cheers

Good news - as a complete noob I followed instructions and have a working WM6 on my UK T-mobile Ameo. Bad news - my internet has become temperamental.
The 3G symbol changes to H after entering an address in either browser.
- Sometimes it loads the page and after a few seconds the H returns to a 3G.
- Sometimes it changes to H and displays "Loading..." and either hangs or loads the page after 30-60 seconds
- Sometimes it switches to and from 3G/H a few times and eventually shows a "page cannot be displayed" error.
- Similar temperamental behaviour in my email and weather applications.
The above is how it behaves immediately after I have run the network wizard, although tweaking with server DNS or Flight Mode on-off have not helped.
Don't seem to be any problems if I just use 'G' GSM only phone setting. Today I'm in central London.
Any suggestions please? Anyone else experiencing this?
Thanks
Jonathan
You can turn off HSDPA on the settings menu with Ameo WM6, this will leave you with 3G speeds only but the difference will be minimal anyway unless you're downloading files or using remote desktop.
See if that helps
And watchout, if you use the wizard you will probably notice that the access point name of your T-Mobile provider is no longer "internet".

Do you know what the correct settings are for TMob UK?
Web&Walk
I have always used
Username - User
Password - one2one
APN - general.t-mobile.uk
And that is it - worked for me on every HTC device I have ever used
Uni's , Magician , Wizard , Hermes & now on the Ameo - I have never been billed outside of the W & W , and I have always got 3G or HSDPA where applicable
I think the offical Username is 'T-mobile' and the password 'internet'
Thanks for the suggestions.
The username/password combinations I tried all seem to work, although I'm sticking with the default from Network Wizard for now. I saw suggestions that using public DNS servers can speed up the "Loading..." wait.
I suspect the original Ameo ROM has HSDPA disabled for a good reason. For example, when loading Opera for the first time in a session, even with a blank start page, the software passes some information online. The time it takes the Ameo to switch from 3G to H for this often times Opera out and produces an error.
Even with HSDPA off I'm still getting regular errors but am not sure whether it's T-mobile coincidentally playing up, or the upgrade.
I think youll find HSDPA isnt disabled, it works, it just doesnt show the H.
I did a speed test on original TMob rom, and got far above 3g speeds.
I am based in Whitstable , Kent , and I have notced that T-mobile HSDPA performance can be a bit shaky every now and again - and the problems that you describe are a similar to what I have seen when the network is mucking around - with that data movement stopping and the indicator changing back and forth between 3G & H , I too thought it was a fault , but it went right on it's own
Sorry if I oppened a topic what is alleeady active but I was searching and I couldn't find a topic what is discussing things about this subject.

I recived the phone saying that if I have problem with the setting text AXTIVE TO 2020 o2 service. Ok I have done it and I got wap on it but after using it for 15 min wap gone. I had to turn off and in the phone. At home I had a wifi connection after 20 min it has gone. Then I got angry I have done a factory reset for s2 (I got it for the phone from 02) and after I didn't have wap so I had to text ACTIVE to 02 and had wap but having same problem. So I have questioned my self does this phone has other problem is well? How can I check it? How can I resolve this problem.
Is english your native language? I am still not fully understanding what the problem is...
Are you having issues connecting to your wifi at home, school, or work?
Are you having cellular data issues?
Im also not familiar with what texting "Active" to 02 is about. Im sorry but you really need to calm down a little, understand that we can and will try to help but you really have to give us a more detailed look into what is going on.
Remember, we are not there, we do not see what you see, hear what you hear, or know what you know. you have to tell us.
English clearly isn't his native language.
But, what he is trying to say is that he seems to having connectivity issues with both wifi at home and when connected to mobile data. When he texts "ACTIVE" to the 02 help line number, it restores his connection but only for around 15 minutes before it drops off again.
As for the problem, I have no idea. I would return the phone to 02 and ask for a replacement.
Yes I'm Hungarian. what I tried to say is that I am able to use the wap net work and wifi but it keep droping me out from the service. So after 15/20min restart he phone and again I have internet. I don't know why? AlsoI don't know if there is any other problem on the phone can I get a program what is run a test on it and repair the problems?
Not sure what your problem is, but if you have the mobile data connection active (the signal bars at the top of the screen show a G or 3G or H or E) and then switch on WiFi. If WiFi makes a connection to a wireless device, then the phone temporally disables the mobile data connection. If you disconnect your WiFi connection, then the mobile data connection becomes active again.
Even if the WiFi has connection to a wireless device, the device may not let them have access to the internet. So even though you have mobile data connection on, you won't be able to connect to the internet.
Switch off the WiFi and just test the mobile data connection. If that is fine, then you need to look at what the WiFi is connecting to. If it is not fine, then you need to find the mobile data connection settings for you phone network.
Hi,
I am planning to change my carrier. But I found out that the new carrier charges for every established data connection 1 Megabyte. I think that is a lot. I heard that checking the e mail headers is less than 10 Kb.
I wrote this to the carrier and they said that is no problem because a UMTS smart phone keeps the connection all the time. Only every 12 hours they disconnect to calculate the data usage.
I have a LG G" with slim kat rom. Can someone tell me what the truth is? I know that there is no exact value for reconnection and disconnecting. But does the smartphone really keep the data connection for 12 hours without running any services?
My emails are checked every 30 minutes--> that is 48x times a day --> 48 Mb / day. This is only email. What if the android system or other apps establish connections in the background?
Thank you !
Greetings,
I own a OnePlus 5T (128GB) and I am running stock firmware (OxygenOS 5.1.7), rooted and bootloader unlocked. I traveled to a country for which I have a local SIM for, but didn't have (yet) any data plan. What I did to prevent unexpected charges was disable mobile data immediately (I did the same to my wife's phone, which is on the same ISP), so that I could receive phone calls and SMS, but I won't use internet and obviously I won't make phone calls or send SMS.
What happened next is that my phone connected for 0 seconds to the internet every day at a random time during the day, triggering a 6€ expense for 10 days.
I searched through the data usage log to see if any app used internet, but it was empty.
Interestingly, my wife didn't get any charge, so I presume that the configuration I used to prevent access to mobile data was correct (it displayed an X instead of 4G+ over the chart showing the mobile signal strength).
What I'd like to discover is what caused the charges (I did get a refund since those connections lasted 0 seconds each), to prevent this from happening again. However, the phone has been completely unhelpful. I do have a data plan now, in case it's needed to perform some tests.
My best guess so far is AFWall+, it's the only application I can picture bypassing the "cellular data off" option. Those connections looked like DNS connections also, due to how short-lived were.
Any suggestion over how to diagnose this?
Thanks for your help.
