Guest Sergeant Pluck Posted June 29, 2008 Report Share Posted June 29, 2008 Hi all I am having real difficulties with this phone's internet access. I am fairly new to this so please make any advice fairly simple :D I am able to initiate an HSDPA connection. However, I am often unable to move from this to actually display web pages - sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't. I often get a message: "Cannot connect with your current settings...". At other times it is fine. More specifically I seem to have lost the ability to access my Gmail via the email service. Is there some kind of problem at the T-mobile end??? Advice appreciated on how to describe / work through / resolve this. Generally I must say I am a little disappointed with this phone. I often cannot get things to work that other people seem to have no problem with - e.g the Gsen utility posted here will not work on my phone. The main reason I am disappointed is battery life - so poor that it really limits the phone's usefulness. I went for this phone as I needed something with WM for Outlook sync between work and home. I really wish I didn't need that as it would open up a range of much better phones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Monolithix Posted June 29, 2008 Report Share Posted June 29, 2008 I find that my Diamond is *really* poor for signal quality, i've only had it a few days though so i'll see how it goes. I've found that when it does lose signal though it can need a full soft reset to recapture it, the same goes for the problem you describe, which i've also encountered. GSen i have downloaded but am as yet to have tried out. Battery life is on par, 24 hours on HSDPA, 36-48 on GPRS. I struggle to believe anyone who claims better than that! On the other hand HTC have managed to achieve this with a battery 450mAhrs less capacity than the equally performing Kaiser! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sergeant Pluck Posted June 29, 2008 Report Share Posted June 29, 2008 I have the Gsen working now, and the "mute on turning face down" which I could not get to work previously. It remains to be seen how useful these things are to me :D but I at least like to have the option. Yes, sensitivity to signal is poor for such a high spec phone. I still suspect that there is some kind of problem at the T-mobile end with data. Have not figured it out yet. My main current concern is that I am unable to get a Gmail email account to work, despite all the settings I can think of being correct. :( And in this day and age a phone should come with sufficient capacity to last a few days, whatever one is doing with it. I am not going down the route of a large battery as this completely negates one of my main plus points for this phone, a compact size and shape. I'd rather invest in an extra battery. The price being asked for the replacement back for the large battery is a joke considering the production costs of a simple piece of plastic.

Guest Monolithix Posted June 30, 2008 Report Share Posted June 30, 2008 Just tried my GMail account, worked fine over IMAP using both imap.gmail.com and imap.googlemail.com (incidentally i'm on TMob too). Battery is disappointing but not unexpected unfortunately :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Paul (MVP) Posted June 30, 2008 Report Share Posted June 30, 2008 GMail (and hosted GMail) fine here! P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wardy Posted June 30, 2008 Report Share Posted June 30, 2008 Untick the proxy setting in T-mobile Internet in advanced network config . also change your user name in the same settings to user and password to wap . this will sort your issue out. I bet you cant connect to msmn either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sergeant Pluck Posted June 30, 2008 Report Share Posted June 30, 2008 I do believe that has sorted it out! :( Many thanks. Could have sworn I had user and wap in there before (put in manually) but I downloaded the "missing T-mobile" .cab and that must have put in other values. Cheers :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Paul (MVP) Posted July 2, 2008 Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 The 'official' T-Mo settings include that proxy, but it does tend to cause issues! P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest WearTheFoxHat Posted July 2, 2008 Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 Does modaco still run the alternate proxy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
