Has anyone figured out a fix for the GPRS connection with the new T-Mobile ROM 1.60.07? My GPRS used to always be connected and now everytime I turn off the phone, the GPRS disconnects. In addition, I think some of the battery life problems come when the phone turns itself on (screen and all) to check e-mail (as set up in the Inbox settings). It used to check the e-mail silently without turning on the screen and then sound a notification tone.
I wasn't sure if anyone knew if this was a simple registry setting or a problem only solved with a Phone Stack upgrade?
Any help would be appreciated.

I've just upgraded to 1.60.00WWE (the radio stack is 1.60.01) and noticed the exact same thing. I did a lot af searching on Google and these symptoms are not mentioned anywhere, in general everyone is saying that the upgrade went fine and the device runs better than before, so it seems we are in the minority. Hopfully this is good news, and there's just something dumb that is not configured properly.
I also have the same problem ( and my friends with xda-2 ) all was fine befor the upgrade, But now the GPRS disconets , No good for MSN Messanger

I heard this from several users on several forums.. a lot didn't notice, but there was enough who did to make me not upgrade.. once the imate update came out i asked around for people that used that if their grps disconnected.. it didn't, so i upgraded with that ROM instead of the t-mobile one. Sorry for you guys =/

GPRS Fix
See the post above this one. Apparently if you delete the file TMD_AP_NL.sa.CAB from the extended ROM and hard reset, the GPRS stays on. You do lose the little GPRS timer but who cares!
I'm going to try it tomorrow and will report back.

Success! Sort of...
Well, I took some advice and changed my Ext_ROM. I took out all of the T-Mobile stuff and put in a bunch of the programs I always have to re-load myself. Then, the Hard Reset!
Bam! Now I have Always on GPRS again. However, apparently, one of the files in the Ext_ROM must also have the Bluetooth Fix with it. Now, I don't have the option of COM4 and COM5 for Bluetooth communications from before.
Does anyone know which of the files in the Ext_ROM this might have been? I am reluctant to try them one by one for fear of messing up the GPRS again.
Any help is appreciated!

Bluetooth Fix for Serial profile
I believe is between this two
CAB: \Extended_ROM\OEM_AKU1_WWE_4AP.sa.CAB
CAB: \Extended_ROM\OEM_WWE_03120301.sa.CAB
Total Success... finally!
Well, thank you thariman for your help. I am very pleased now. I installed the two files from the ext_rom:
OEM_AKU1_WWE_4AP.sa.CAB
OEM_WWE_03120301.sa.CAB
The first gives Bluetooth Settings the option for in and out COM ports. The second assigns these ports to COM4 and COM5.
Now, I have the Bluetooth fix to use my GPS and wireless sync AND the always on GPRS.
I hope everyone figures this out. I guess T-Mobile does not want users to have the always on GPRS connection. In seems to be disabled via there customization. Seems strange though considering their pricing is for unlimited use.
Anyway, I'm happy with my set up now! Good luck to all.

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?

Check out this thread
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
Before someone says to use Search feature, I already did that and I couldn't find true solution for this issue....specifically for Vibrant
Why does my Vibrant sets wrong timezone? My alarms didnt set off for 2 days so I noticed thru flaw that my time was messed up. It's set to Central when I am in Eastern zone. No where near central zone. I know many suggested to disable network time auto update but why is it doing that? Also when I disable auto change feature, it turns on by itself when I reboot my phone next time....Can I permanently disable auto time update or make auto time update work correctly please???
Is it 2.1 issue? model specific issue? or what? I mean having correct time is so basic thing in any phone.
please advice!
thank you,
I have the same problem. And my vibrant will automaticlly turn on the debugging mode after every reboot.
I also have this problem. I have to set the timezone manually when I leave my home base (Eastern Time). My iPhone seems to pick up the local time correctly, so I am confused.
I live in GA, about 40 miles from AL and I had this issue last year on my G1. When I would drive to work (away from AL) once I got a total of about 60 miles away the time would switch back to Eastern. It was absolutely consistent. I never figured out what was causing it and it resolved itself after about a month. My guess is that there was a TMO network issue.

When I first got my phone it used to detect which village I was in not just the city. I had to do a factory reset and now it's stopped detecting the villages. Why? and can I get it back? If so how?
Please help.
Maybe because of the time-bug.

enable htc location services on your phone
All the location bits are enabled and as far as I know and can tell all are working the way they should.
ive put on this fix but my weather is still only showing the city and not the village like it used too.
open up quickgps and update satellite position
ive done that as well but nothing seems to be working.

i too was having this problem till today and now it sort of seems to be solved:
at this point i have done everything (just like you) mentioned in the thread. my weather panel shows my location as my state rather than my city!
case 1:
i further opened up the clock (by tapping on the flip clock on the home tab) and saw only 1 clock. it was called 'my location' and had everything set up correctly. my current location is mumbai. so i explicitly added another clock (mumbai) by doing add city. now i have two clocks - 'my location' and 'mumbai'. but the interesting thing is that the second clock (mumbai) has a local written in brackets next to it. it seems that HERE the phone detected mumbai as my local city. now when i do a weather update i get 2 updates - one for each of my clocks (both sets of information are identical because both locations are identical!). and since my mumbai clock is selected as primary, i also see mumbai on the flip clock as my location (and i suppose the corresponding weather data, i really cant differentiate).
case 2:
when i have only one clock 'my location', and i do a weather update, the weather panel updates the 'my location' tag to my state's name which (given the size of my state) is of no help at all. this, however, did not happen in the case described above. the 'my location' remained the same.
i wonder if the first method solves your problem. its not really any solution at all. its stupid that the phone should detect my location in the clock program but not on the weather update panel. also i tested gps reception while all this was going on. i had google maps running in the back with 6-8 satellites locked when i did my weather updates in both cases. that didnt help. plus, like i said before as well, i had htc locaton services enabled and updated satellite data via google maps.
its one of those things that i really cant figure out and so have stopped bothering. where i live, the weather hardly changes anyway...
Hi,
same probleme here....
It only tells me the State, not the Village
nothing helps.....
HTC Support told me to flash and reset the device twice (HaHa Ive done this before)
Ive had this problem for a few months now, constant emails to HTC gets either there is no known problem or we are currently working to resolve the issue. Like they will actually care now wp7 is out.
Its a joke, first of all the weather stopped working an now the clock doesnt work as it should, slowly but surly things are stopping functioning correctly, wheres my old nokia 6680.
Rant over.
yeah see my problem wit the reset is that seems to have been when my problem started. i have the 2 clocks and the two weather pages but both say peterborough (city) when one used to say peterborough and the other used to change and say yaxley (village)
The issue with my location showing only state weather instead of village weather started with the winter time change bug.
The patch posted above ( see link ) solved the time problem but not the weather location problem. In another thread it was said HTC will issue a fix in one week, but this is now 4 weeks ago and still no patch issued.
If they don't solve this problem this was my last HTC. phone .........

ho notato che dipende dalla località dove ti trovi. Dove abito funziona, ma in alcuni paesi mi esce scritto 'italy' come location!
Ma già da qualche tempo...

I noticed that depends on the location where you are. Where I live it works, but in some countries I get says 'Italy' as a location!
But for some time ...
HTC Support now told me to took a Video with a camera, whowing the Problem on HD2 (also wan't a Video from my Reset Operation )
What are they thinking, I'm so stupid that I can't to a reset on my HD2?
now one week after uploading the video no response from support. I wrote them again yesterday, maybe they'll answer this week....
Hi all
I have the marketplace live tile on my start screen and I was notified of an update just now. It was for Orange Maps Navigation.
If you're using the HTC 7 Mozart you should open the marketplace and you will see 1 update at the bottom of the screen. Tapping on this it will show you an update for Orange Maps. Select Update All at the bottom left of the screen.
Now you have a fully functional Sat Nav system on your phone! It's only free on some Orange price plans. I am on Panther and get the basic version for free and can pay £2:50 per month and get traffic and speed cameras as well.
Cheers
andrew-in-woking
Good spot!
For info, I'm on a Mozart as well but the marketplace didn't give me an update notification. I searched for the app tho and was able update once I'd found it.
Cheers.
I installed Orange Maps today and did a test navigation route for 2-3 miles. It worked perfectly almost as good as tom tom.
Orange Maps is herer
Yep, my Mozart picked up an update yesterday, and I installed it an tried it.
My thoughts so far:
1. Seems fine - navigation works OK. Free on Panther (with live traffic and camera alerts for 2.50 a month - which I haven't tried yet)
2. Navigation voice seemd a little quiet - but that is probably tied to overall issue of WP7 volumes all controlled from one volume control (I really want to be able to set system volumes and ring volumes differently)
3. Day / Night view is not switched automatically (but it's an icon on the main screen so no major issue)
4. You have to turn off WiFi before you can use it - I woul like to be able to do my searching and set up my favorites etc on a fast WiFi connection (as I struggle to get a good data signal indoors).
5. The screen stays on whilst navigating (which is good), but as soon as you drive past your destination it stops navigating (and then your phone turns off depending on your settings), so if you miss your destination you will have to stop and start up the app again to find your way back
6. Not sure how it will deal with multi tasking issues (what happens if a call comes in whilst you are driving?). I set up a route at home, and tried turning off the phone (putting it to sleep pressing the top button). I turned it back on, clicked on Orange Maps and it popped up syaing 'do you want to conitnue your route' - which was great. I turned it off again, and then when I got in the truck (about 10 mins later), I clicked on Orange Maps and it just started up with a blank location screen. Luckily it has a histroy of recent searches / places, so it wasn't more than about 4 clicks to get it going again (but it had to re-download the route, which was a pain).
7. The 'spoken road names' (text to speach) is a nice feature, but the street names (presumably downloaded from the Orange servers) are of a much lower audio quality than the general directions, which sounds a little wierd. Also, I don't think it does all names (it didnt' seem to on my test journey last night) - but it wasn't just major roads. To be honest, I think it did the first 5 or 6 road names and then stopped....
Overall I'm pleased, it's turn by turn Sat Nav for free (on my contract), which is more than I've had for the last few months (I've had to use Bing Maps in a couple of emergencies, and you can use it in the truck if you have to, but it's just not the same as proper sat nav.
I'll be looking forward to see what MS bring out next year for Bing Maps, and see how it compares, but for now, I guess this is all we've got.
Has anyone tried the extra live traffic and speed camera updates yet? Do you know if you have to committ to paying this for a number of months, or can you just turn it on and off as required??
I haven't got the notification yet. in which category you found the orange maps application on market place? cheers...
Mine had some problem in Marketplace this mornng (said something like it hadn't succesfully downloaded, but failed to download it again - even though it worked fine last night!)
So I uninstalled it, and then just went into Marketplace and did a search for Orange Maps (and it came up straight away).
As a side note, when I reinstalled it, I didn't have to re-enter my personal info and choose my plan etc - so I'm guessing that even when apps are uninstalled, some user data can be left behind (registry perhaps?)
I'm excited to use this! I'm on Dolphin though so I have to wait until the end of the month to change to Panther, I don't want to pay £5 to use this!

same here, no notifications and search culdn't find anything in the marketplace, i am using vodafone sim, culd this be an reason?
hard to believe that orange maps are live as i went through website an it says coming soon.....
Hi Andrew, thanks for the guide but nothing came up in market place search. I even tried with "orange" word alone.
I am out of country at the moment and using local SIM; would this be a reason like idonxda is facing?
Hi
I can confirm it is live.
idonxda - even if you could download it you wouldn't be able to use it on a vodafone sim - they have locked it to Orange only (you can't even use via Wifi - even on an Orange phone).
Zeesh - i would guess that roaming abroad will mean you're using another carrier, and so again the 'Orange Lock' would prevent you using it.
However, I'm surprised that this is preventing you from finding it in the Marketplace. I was doubting myself so I just checked on my phone again.
Open Marketplace, hit search, type 'Orange Maps' and it comes up.
Browse through to Applications, Navigation, Free and it'a about the 15th one down the list on my phone.
And there's another review dated today so other people have found it!
I wonder if they are able to 'sim lock' (i.e. operator lock) items in Marketplace??
Got a few questions..
1. It says unlimited use of orange maps with my panther plan, so does that mean my 750mb internet usage would't be affected?
2. Are the maps offline by default or it downloads everytime it says 'downloading route'?
3. I use up around 500 mb easily in 15-20 days & monitor it for the remaining days. So if i use the maps for say 6-7 miles, how much data it will use? I can't find any info on data usage specific to maps, if there is any?

Hi thnaks Paul, finally I cud find with a trick- I installed the pre installed apps then restarted phone and researched then I was able to find it and tried it with Orange sim card. But funny things if i try to search on marketplace again i canot find, i think there is something either may be related to to the Orange sim.

I think you need to direct those questions to Orange.

I'm fairly sure the maps are downloaded each time.
I'm not sure about data usage, I don't monitor mine (I thought the Panther plans were true 'unlimited' data usage?)
Ok, I'm back in UK, put the orange SIM in my phone and got the Orange Maps updated, installed. thanks to all out there.
However, Since I'm not on Panther plan so it was not able to use the maps straight away; called Orange help desk and they told me either I've to be on Panther or with existing package I can get the subscription for £2.50 per month with unlimited orange maps usage and with traffic updates etc. I got it subscribed for additional £2.50 per month.
However what customer care representative was not sure that with this unlimited subscription the orange maps data usage will be from my 1GB internet bundle or will it be out of it? I did not ask further on this and will check my next bill for confirmation or I'm sure I'll get the answer on this forum quickly
cheers...
hey guys,
The one reason we (in our organisation) don't use orange maps is that it downloads maps every single time and takes it out of your internet useage. Cheaper to go buy a proper sat nav unit, or software in the long run.
Even if you're not on panther you can get 7 days free trial of pro version. Make sure it's for you
Can't upgrade app
Is anyone else getting the following problem?
My Marketplace shows an update required for Orange Maps, I select the app, click update, then I allow the access to location, then I get the following message:
"Can't get this information at the moment. Check again in a little while."
I have had this for a few days now. Also, if I search for the app in the marketplace it does not show, either searching by name or looking under Navigation>Free.
I have an Orange UK SIM but I have switched the SD card for a 16GB one so I wonder if that is somehow linked to this problem.
