That's the big deal... once I connect it once it keeps connecting back until I soft reset... It doesn't matter if I press disconnect on the bubble... It will just dial back again in a few seconds.
Anyone has a clue on what it might be? any setting I might change?

Some program is reconnecting beause it needs internetconnection. A common reason is that you choose an emailaccount to check your mail at intervals. In that case, if you change that email setting to check manually, it only connects when you ask for it.
Perhaps in your case you activated an other program (f.i. the Wheather tab of Home plugin?) that uses an internet connection. But you should search the solution in that direction. Good Luck!

I haven't used msn Live for a while now, but I can remember that I encountered the same reconnecting issue when I tried it some time ago. I also found out a way to change setting to make it stop. The only thing is.... I can't remember and I don't have it installed at the moment. But I think you have answered your own question.
No doubt about it that this issue is decribed in at least one of the many threads. Try the search option, I'm sure it will be succesfull!
solved it by installing a new msn live version. looks like it was a bug...

You can adjust individually, which connection you want to close.

I've got another question for the masses, I've search around and cant seem to find any reference to it.
Is there any way to switch GPRS off after use?
for example I use SPB Weather, which connects to update its weather report via GPRS, it logs on fine, retrieves the laters weather report, but GPRS stays on.
As it is I'm having to go into Comms Manager and turning off the Data Connection, which is a bit repetative, any solutions?
GBS-Tweak does it
I use a small program, made by Georg Graz, which works fine (WM5 and 6). You can choose how long GPRS will stay on after use.

In most ROM's there is a disconnect option in bubble. That appears when you tap on the G icon in the title bar. An other method is to keep the red hang-up phone button pressed for a second or five. GPRS will disconnect then.
great guys thanks
thats odd, when I try and install the cab, it tells me sucessful install but there's no GBS-Tweak.cpl file in my windows directory,I believe thats what gets installed. nothing in my programs or settings after a soft boot. cant chuck me your GBS-Tweak.cpl file over could you?
not to worry I ripped the cab and changed the file name of the largest file then moved it into my windows directory. that worked
Phew!
I almost started to worry.
Glad to read it works
Hi Experts,
Sorry if I sound a little crude and maybe a novice(I am), but I have been a Symbian user so far and finally decided to take the plunge to Android. I received my HTC Hero a couple of days back and tried to connect to Android Market with my google account, but in vain. Tried to use the Google Mail app, but again failed. Am I missing something here? Tried to use HTC Sync with my lappy, but no success.
Provider: Orange UK.
Connectivity: Wifi (No data plan on Sim)
Laptop OS: Win 7 64-bit (connecting usin USB cable)
I have read a lot of threads on xda and on the internet and tried quite a few things, but no success.
Thanks in advance,
Jag
Closing thread as there is another one though not for UK. Will wait for that to resolve.

I had the same problem, and some packet sniffing showed that Android tries to contact google on port 5228/tcp. Our work wifi firewalls non-standard ports, presumably this is why I cannot download from the market (Hangs forever at "starting download") or sign into gtalk over wifi. Switching to 3G data, everything works fine (though the Market stalls a lot).
I had an issue where it wouldn't accept my details unless I entered them in on the initial setup screen.
i.e. if I skipped past the "set up google mail" bit, and went back later, it didn't work.
workaround was reverting to factory install and making sure to enter my account details at the start (and I used wifi since I was in my home, so it should definately work)
It worked for me after i manually set the APN for my carrier.
Please same problem, HTC Magic 32B Ion 1.6, how can I do?
Yes you should always try to log into google at the very start otherwise some problems can be caused.

All OK!
I did a wipe and all ok
How am I supposed to do this after a factory reset if I connect thru wifi, since I must first enable wifi radio and then put a password, so that means I would have to skip the "wizard" so that defeats the purpose of factory resetting everything... please help.
Solved
Logically, what you say is right, but practically it actually worked
1) after the factory reset, i get the google signin screen,
at that moment, my wifi wont be enabled.....but still i went ahead and entered the username and
password and clicked the signin button
as expected it throwed a message saying "it cant connect"
along with it it also said may be you are not on wifi with a
"connect to wifi button", which will take to the wifi screen where you can connect to wifi and it comes back to the google signin screen, where you login again....
.............there you go it signs in successfully now.
Hope this helps

Hi
I am facing the same problem with my device (Galaxy S2). I am able to surf web with the stock phone browser using wifi, but apps won't connect. Apps connect only through GPRS.
I was wondering if you were able to resolve the issue. Could you please help me ?
Anyone else has a solution to this problem.
My phone has the stock firmware, purchased the phone today.
Apps have never worked over wifi, but the browser works.
Cannot download anything on wifi, for that only my GPRS/3G works.
Please help
I have been using my desire for over a year and it has been great, but now I also have this problem of no market or google mail over my WiFi. I was going to do a factory reset and start again, but after reading the posts on this thread this may not resolve the problem.
Has anyone found a fix for this problem
I have this problem too. I doubt it's the manufacture deliberately use its stock sbf to stop people using wifi to save data bandage. So they can make more money with the mobile operators!!

well i was having a similar problem(would connect to wifi, the browser worked but not the apps).in my case, i have my router setup with the dhcp server off(you have to assign an static ip address manually to every device you that you are going to connect to the router) i solved my problem by enabling the "use static ip" check box and filling all the information(ip address, gateway, netmask, dns 1 and dns 2)on the advance settings tab in wifi settings.
Hello all,
I'm having a problem with the click on my HD2.
It is a Portuguese Rom.
It's always one hour before! I tried to change the time and settings to GMT Lisbon/London, and goes fine. When I connect to the internet, and update some stuff, especially the weather, the GMT goes back to Casablanca.... meaning, 1 hour before!
I tried to change the setting in Manilla settings with now sucess.
Can someone help me?
Thanks in advance
I also had this problem some weeks ago... I corrected it by setting in the data connetion settings the option "sync time with internet" in sense settings.
Also in the start menu I had an app/button which was called "Carrier Time". It seems like it syncs it with the carrier or cell im logged in or something like that.
Are you using "My location" feature?

Hello,
Thank you for your answer. Yes i'm using my location.
I think I already got it. It's the sync time with the internet. I turned it off.
I think everything is ok now.
Thank you very much.
Time/Location Problem
Hope this is the right place for this question - I have a Telstra HD2 and live in Sydney. However, whenever I do a soft reset/hard reset the default location for time, etc reverts to Brisbane, which is in another state. Creates problems with time, especially daylight saving. I have tried changing all the usual options but with no success.
Does anyone know of any registry setting, etc that might apply. This is my second HD2 (previous one had a GPS problem and was exchanged for a new one - and still the same problem. I also noticed the demo HD2 in the Telstra store today was set to Brisbane as the default location (again, the shop is in Sydney).
Any help???

As suggested above turn of sync internet time and set your time zone manually to Sydney. If you hard reset your phone you will have to this procedure again. Soft resets are fine!

Thanks for the advice, I had tried the above, but with no success. However, I had also posted on the Forum for the Telstra HD2 9193 version and received the answer below from Tmorgan4 which seems to have fixed the problem so I am quoting it here for the benefit of anyone else who might have a similar problem. There are so many places that can cause a problem, the trick is to find the correct one.
Tmorgan 4 says: "I think I used to fix it via Settings Page - All Settings (down bottom right) - Personal - Phone. Under that is a GSM/UMTS Services Tab. Under Time Syncronization disable it."

The problem is there are three ways to sync the time on the HD2:
1) Sync with Internet
2) Sync with telecom provider
3) Sync with Activesync
The first two options use location. If your location is incorrectly determined, disable the location service and set your location manually.
It is my experience the Telco Provider time is not so reliable
Yesterday My provider insisted it was 6:05 when actually it was 10:25.... (I now Disabled it)
Internet time / Activesync time are more reliable, if your location is correct.
Disable location service if the phone determines your location wrong.
I do not know, but I can imagine syncing through Activesync can cause problems if your computer is in a different timezone as your phone (eg, computer has London as location and phone has Amsterdam as location)
Concluding:
Four settings can influence time on your phone: Activesync, Internet Time, Telco Provider and Location services.

This post fixed my incorrect time setting issue so BIG thanks for posting it, and not forgetting thanks to Tmorgan n' all
so thanks. It worked for me
Funny thing! cause i turned of "sync with internet" and used option to "automaticly decline location service" and yet, my "hour" seems to be changing RANDOMLY.. sometimes one hour ahead, sometimes two! Which is pretty nasty, cause i may have troubles waking up at the specific hour for work
new problem !!!!
hi, i have a big problem regarding the time changing , my htc hd2 goes 1 hour in front every time i make a restart , please help
I am from the UK
Running energy rom
Internet updates the time correctly but the get carrier time sends it forward one hour. It also keeps randomly going forward one hour whenever it wants! Driving me MAD
massive troubles with time in all Custom ROMs
What is the exectly problem with the time bug
I also use Energy ROM from 19.11.2010 and my time is now 3 hours ago
I disabled the 2 timesync (Provider, Network) but still have the issue
SHould I also turn of AGPS or localisation?
is there a CAB to fix that?

Afte reading these two threads and trying out the cabs and tips...... ITS WORKED
Its been 19 hours and nothing has changed and the time is still correct
Howdy, so I did a factory reset last night and since then my Prime cant seem to find my location , in any weather app or maps.....i tried a factory reset a few more times but still no luck....any ideas on what i can try to resolve this would be greatly appreciated!
Assuming you have location services turned on in the settings, remember tablets aren't meant to use gps. If you need gps, go buy a garmin or smartphone, because everyone around here will tell you tablets dont need gps.
I dont care about GPS, never my intention for the tablet.
Location sevices were all checked and that part of it worked perfectly before the factory reset.
Just got to work and it seems to connect ok here. Not sure what happened at home but I will test this evening.
Do you have another android device to test ?
It could be that Google doesn't know about your router's location. They have a database of wifi router locations and maybe they never got yours.

Uncheck the ALL location options, then save. Then check them again, you will get a nice terms and conditions dialogue, accept it. Save.
This is crazy....i had location working all day at work and the gym.
I get home and it can't find location. Weird thing is it was fine until i did the reset.
Ugh

I did a factory reset, that is when this particular issue starting happening.
Before that location was not a problem for me, at home or on any other wifi.
I did the factory reset intially because it was acting weird, sluggish and non responsive so I figured I would give that a shot before pursuing anything else ...and now my location service wont work at home. Which is strange because it does work on several other wifi spots that I have tried.
I read somewhere that Google can sometimes lose your wifi/router from its DB, just havent found out if there is a way to maybe force it back..?
The fact that it works everywhere but my home which is where I use it like 95% of the time kinda sucks...Maybe I will ping Asus and see what they have to say about it.
I own a Galaxy S II that runs CM 11. I usually get a brown colored icon for mobile network symbol in my power menu most of the time. I tried doing some googling and I found that something called "fast dormancy" may/may not have something to do with it. Firstly, I don't know if SGS2 supports FD. Secondly, I want to know whether this is the root cause. I edited my build.prop file to add FD property but it changed nothing.
When the icon is brown, I will get a window of few seconds where I will receive WhatsApp notifications (this happens after every reboot I do with the 3G switched on!). Even though, I receive notifications from messengers, I am not able to send messages. Forget about accessing social networks! This thing has been bugging me for two weeks now. What's the fix? I'm quite sure that something other than FD is responsible for this.
Reboots didn't help.
Putting the mobile on and off flight mode didn't work.
Please help.

I don't know or your provider supports fast dormancy I suggest to try to turn it off to see or that's the cause.
As far as I know the brown/orange icon means that you don't have connection to google servers/internet. It's odd that you are receiving but you can't send anything. As far as I have my computer knowledge, you've got some setting issue. Like it receives the data from the server but it sends it probably to the wrong location. Is there somewhere in the settings where you could enter manually your 3g settings from your provider? I can't specific tell you how since I don't own a smartphone for 5 months already and I never really used 3g.
If setting flighmode on and off doesn't work then I still think it's an issue just like you need to set on somethings your email server like from which server it receives stuff and to which server you are sending stuff.

Yes I should ask that, you could also maybe try first another custom rom to verify it's your provider, But the orange icon means that you are already connected but there are still some issues.
Ask them for your problem and I hope for you that your problem gets solved:good: 2 weeks is a long time so they can't ignore you.
