Guest chucky.egg Posted August 30, 2004 Report Share Posted August 30, 2004 My c500 keeps dropping gprs connections when surfing, even when the idle disconnect is set to never. its not a huge problem, but does anyone else get this and is there a fix?

Guest ferret Posted August 30, 2004 Report Share Posted August 30, 2004 Every SPV does this, and you can argue both ways if this is what they are meant to do, or if it's a bug. Only way of stopping it is to set to the next greater value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest beersoft Posted August 30, 2004 Report Share Posted August 30, 2004 the reason it does it is: idle timeout at t'other end if you where sending 1 byte of data every x minuites it wouldn't cut off, but that would cost later Owen "wearing his isp pants to answer that question" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rubric Posted August 31, 2004 Report Share Posted August 31, 2004 well, whether it's a bug or feature also depends on what they put the messenger in the phone for. a messenger isn't very useful if it keeps getting disconnected if you ask me.

Posted from my SmartPhone! Here, here :) And it's only Orange ROMS that do this, Imate ROMS on other SPVs don't disconnect a soon as a page is loaded, they do what I believe is correct when set to "None" - They stay connected :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the whole point about GPRS being "always on" I'll try a high setting for the time out and see if that fixes it Thanks for the tips guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest chucky.egg Posted August 31, 2004 Report Share Posted August 31, 2004 Oh, FFS! The maximum idle timeout is 10 minutes The minimum email check interval is 15 minutes MSN disconnects as soon as a call is in progress It's not a huge problem, but it's bloody typical that there isn't a combination of built-in settings you can use to do it! Is there a "keep alive" utility around? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dreamweavel Posted September 1, 2004 Report Share Posted September 1, 2004 Use smartease shell-orange uk. It's for the E200 but is working fine on my C500. There's an option to leave GPRS always on that works properly :wink:Smartease Shell-OrangeUK.cab Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rubric Posted September 2, 2004 Report Share Posted September 2, 2004 Does it work for E200s that are not on the Orange network nor using the Orange ROM? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest chucky.egg Posted September 2, 2004 Report Share Posted September 2, 2004 This actually works! But... (you knew there was one coming didn't you!) when I attach the phone to the PC it switches off GPRS again That's a really small issue (for me at least) on a minor irritant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dreamweavel Posted September 2, 2004 Report Share Posted September 2, 2004 Its prob trying to use a passthrough connection i guess. I've never noticed this cos I've got a permanent net connection so want it to disconnect GPRS :) Half way better anyway :-s Posted from my SmartPhone!

Guest legalbeagle Posted September 2, 2004 Report Share Posted September 2, 2004 I recall from reading about GPRS standards three or four years ago that there were several standards for GPRS receivers: depending on the standard used, the GPRS either could or could not be used at the same time as GSM calls were being made. It was suggested even then that it would be unlikely that mobile phones would use the resource intensive dual on standard. It seems likely that GPRS cannot be maintained while a phone call is being made for hardware reasons. Though it might be possible for someone to write a program that turned GPRS back on once a call has ended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dreamweavel Posted September 2, 2004 Report Share Posted September 2, 2004 yeah, i've noticed that GPRS drops after making/taking a call. Never heard of a way round it though... :? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sixonenine619 Posted October 27, 2004 Report Share Posted October 27, 2004 sorry im still kinda retarded when it comes to my spv e200, how do i install the always on files? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest chucky.egg Posted October 27, 2004 Report Share Posted October 27, 2004 copy the CAB file to your phone and run it If you have an E200 i think it has a file manager built in (?) so you can copy the file anywhere you like in the phone or memory card, and then just open it ON the phone If you dont have a file manager copy the file to IPSMWindowsStart Menu and it will appear in the menu on the phone, and you can run it from there. Once installed open the program and set the options you want Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rizzles Posted October 29, 2004 Report Share Posted October 29, 2004 if you have shell config installed on your phone and the run when connection is available option on msn ticked then as soon as you hang up from a call gprs is started straight up Posted from my SmartPhone!

Guest chucky.egg Posted October 29, 2004 Report Share Posted October 29, 2004 Yes, that's right about the GPRS, but MSN does not sign you back in. You have to go back to MSN and sign back in manually otherwise you are "offline" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Confucious Posted October 29, 2004 Report Share Posted October 29, 2004 sorry im still kinda retarded when it comes to my spv e200, how do i install the always on files? Try posting in the E200 forum rather than the C500 forum. I'm sure the advice you get here will be correct but the majority of E200 owners won't be looking here ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rizzles Posted October 29, 2004 Report Share Posted October 29, 2004 If you have the "run when connection is available" ticked in MSN it does sign you back in after having a phone call Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
