Guest barfoo Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 (edited) Hi, I have installed Shell-Orange 1.3 on my C550 and set it to always remain connected to GPRS but MSN Messenger still disconnects after a few minutes of inactivity. This is annoying as I want to remain logged in all day while I'm at work. :) Does anyone have any suggestions?

Guest pd.ryder Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 Have you got Messenger's option selected to "run whenever connection available"? Mine never disconnects while GPRS is fired up and it will even detect my broadband connection via ActiveSync when I connect the 550 to the PC (it signs me out on the PC and in on the 550) I must admit, I don't know the Shell-Orange 1.3 or what difference it would make to the phone's OS. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest FerretAD Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 So when you connect via ActivSync does your GPRS connection disconnect and it use's your normal internet connection to go online ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest pd.ryder Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 Not quite, but yes - sort of :D If it's connected using GPRS it will continue to use it until 'told' otherwise. What I was getting at was that Messenger will grab hold of any connection going, whether it's GPRS or whatever. Another thought I had:- the MS OS will run-stop applications automatically to save resources once it has 6 (I think) already running. Could this be your problem? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest pd.ryder Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 I've just re-read that. Welcome FerretAD :) To address your comment, the 550 will use your broadband connection when ActiveSync'd as long as the connections are set to 'Automatic' (Start/Settings/Data Connections). Apparently it will do this if Bluetooth ActiveSync'd too for a bit of surfing-on-the-sofa / not-too-far-from-your-PC fun. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest pd.ryder Posted February 23, 2006 Report Share Posted February 23, 2006 I don't know, how do I do that? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Ok. Go to Start>MSN Messenger>Options>Passport Account, then select the tickbox at the bottom "Run this program when connection available". Press & then sign-in as usual. Here's hoping it solves your problem :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strangely, the GPRS icon remains lit in the top right hand corner. I've also tried uninstalling Shell-Orange and rebooting but no luck. I'm stumped :cry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
