I have had my SDA for 1 week and have identified a major flaw. Besides the long (5-7 minute) time required to get a signal after dropping the signal. My SDA in specific locations will continuously search for a signal. The time period is between 1 - 10 hours to lock onto a signal. Both Cingular and T-mobile phone of different models work in these locations. The T-mobile coverage map identifies these areas as strong signal. I have soft reset, hard reset and replaced my SIM card. The phone works in other locations just fine. Actually, I love the phone other than this problem. It is well documented in this thread at HoFo

I am reaching out to Modaco for a solution. From experience, Modaco users tend to be very technical and creative. I hope that I can use the SDA in the future. I don't want to have to switch to SE.

I tried mapopolis, which is OK and I already have pocket streets which is pretty slow when it comes to locating business or locations and spotty.
I was wondering if there is any other one I can try? Tomtom does not have SP version for US, I didn't see any on their website.

What made you decide to use those GPRS/Proxy settings? And why two GPRS?

I'm having the same problem. However, your suggestion doesn't correct it.

Ok, so i have my phone set up using these settings..

Now, i jsut flashed it to iMate, and works fine.. but i need MMS working.

Most of the settings i have found don'e work.. is there a conflict using the 5 dollar work around and MMS?

if so any one of you SDA Brothers want to help me out with the tmobile settings?

you'll have to go into the settings and manually setup the MMS and GPRS stuff.  I had to do that when I flashed to the I-Mate ROM.  T-Mobile has the correct settings on their website.

This LONG_POUND.lnk file work for you??

i'm experiencing the same problem after i was able to flash to the new sp5m rom.

is there a website that list useful applications, shortcuts, or what ever for the sda?

thanks.
