Guest Dade Posted July 5, 2005 Report Share Posted July 5, 2005 I've noticed a problem with my M500. I can connect to GPRS no problem, do what a need to do etc. and disconnect. I then try to reconnect to GPRS to do something else and it tries several times to connect then times out. If I soft reset the device I can then connect back to GPRS no problem. Noticed this a few times over the weekend and now having the same problem on my other M500. Anyone else having the problem? Its very similar to the problem on the E100 when that first came out.

Guest LSmith4285 Posted July 5, 2005 Report Share Posted July 5, 2005 Why do you need to disconnect from GPRS? I leave it permanantly connected on my C500. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest beersoft Posted July 5, 2005 Report Share Posted July 5, 2005 the gprs connection will timeout after $randomtime of inactivity, its just the way it is, limited ip's on the network, limited bandwith etc blah blah blah it not reconnecting without a reboot does bring back some happy memories, dade you sure its not pant related? i remember gprs works better with blue or red pants over black, and anyother colour it refuses to work on a random basis :) later Owen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Confused Stu Posted July 5, 2005 Report Share Posted July 5, 2005 I always found with my original SPV that it used to connect to GPRS better when sworn at repeatedly. The louder the swearing got, the quicker it used to connect. Might be worth trying with the M500 too? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It happens more often if using bluetooth. Got used to it now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest broughs Posted July 6, 2005 Report Share Posted July 6, 2005 (edited) I have had this problem on my imate jam - happens a lot firat connection fine after that "Cannot reconnect for an unknown reason." Imate released a patch for rom 1.11 which helped (can go for about a day without the problem) but did not resolve it. In Rom 1.12 it was worse. They know they have a problem and are currently working on a solution. I have downgraded to 1.06 which works fine for GPRS but has a bluetooth problem which can be fixed with another patch. I now have a fully functional working device which is great. Long explanation for what I think is a generic rom problem for all HTC Magicians. regards Stu Edited July 6, 2005 by broughs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Disco Stu Posted July 6, 2005 Report Share Posted July 6, 2005 I had a period of this happening recently but it has stopped now; possibly after installing the iMate 1.12 ROM. At the time though I just put it down to Orange Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest broughs Posted July 6, 2005 Report Share Posted July 6, 2005 It appears to be a conflict - with what | don't know but I had it on 1.11 and 1.12 imate roms. After I downgraded to 1.06WWE and applied the 'No bluetooth hardware patch' everything worked fine. If only we could find out what is causing it. I spent a lot of time on it to no success.

Guest Samsonite Posted July 6, 2005 Report Share Posted July 6, 2005 my qtek s100 is the same.. i'm on o2 so it aint just an Orange flavoured problem... ROM 1.11 if that makes any sense to anyone... The XDA forum has pages and pages of people with this hiccup so there must a common issue... Doesnt really bother me, a small price to pay for such a cool device!

Guest confused and hungover Posted July 8, 2005 Report Share Posted July 8, 2005 my M500 has started sending all text messages twice... i thought this might be an issue with jeyo mobile extender but it's doing it even when no connected to the PC. is this a hardware, software or operator bug?

Guest monty1 Posted July 8, 2005 Report Share Posted July 8, 2005 I have had problems getting my GPRS working , When I hit the Explorer icon it looks like it is working but nothing happens I have a simple workaround . I Go to my favourites in internet explorer and tap on a website , the GPRS connecting balloon appears and off I go . This works for me everytime . I am using the original T mobile ROM .

Guest confused and hungover Posted July 8, 2005 Report Share Posted July 8, 2005 (edited) indeed... i think i've read something about this on the forum before... need to go have a look <{POST_SNAPBACK}> i think i've narrowed this down to PPB pocket plus... something about the close button, i've disabled it completly for now and i think its stopped it... anyone else have experience of this program?? oh, and i still can't connect to GPRS properly... EDIT: i tried connecting to favourites and that works, not to practical though, y'know, loading the entire internet into your favourites folder :) :D :D :lol: Edited July 8, 2005 by confused and hungover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MitchellO Posted July 8, 2005 Report Share Posted July 8, 2005 The problem is if you close (not smart minimize like default without pocket plus) too soon, before the PPC confirms the message is sent, it stays in the outbox. Next time you open Messaging, it still in the outbox and gets sent again. Wait for the "Message Sent" box to pop out of the taskbar before closing. I had this happen many times, and finally worked out that it was this. I use vBar, which actually closes when you click the X. When I opened, it would send the msg again, and I would get the message sent box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had this problem on the M1000 for a while. Each time I put the device in the cradle and run active sync it would send about 5 text messages. I had to delete the outbox all the time!
