gprs connection

[Guest nickvid]

Hi

When i connect to GPRS the signal strength indicator changes to a G but once it has finished loading the page up it reverts back to the mast, if i click a link, the phone reconnects back to the GPRS network. Is there any setting that will make the phone stay connected as it seems to be making browsing slow as it is having to connect everytime i want to move between pages.

A motorla V600 on 02 GPRS seems way quicker than mine.

Install this app and in the menu set 'always on gprs. i dont think it will give you a speed boost though, im still getting 6kbps

i've tried the abov and it has improved the speed of finding sites so that of the V600 on o2 but just a quick question. when i exit the internet the G sign stays there next to signal strength. does this means it could still be sending data and incurring costs or would this not happen.

[Guest pietta]

Possibly, the best thing to do is to go to task manager and forcefully quit internet explorer

[Guest BanziBarn]

Can I just confirm that the G next to the signal strength means GPRS - the reason I ask is that I just setup all the Virgin bits and bobs so I could surf and use MMS but to test that I was defo GPRSing I turned Internet Connections from Virgin GPRS to Virgin WAP and I still got the G :?:

[Guest DomConway]

A G in the middle of the title bar means GPRS is available, a G replacing the antenna symbol on the signal strength indicator means GRPS is being used. Normally, in order to hang up GPRS, all you need to do is hit the red hang up key - no need to forcibly quit IE.

Or press twice "No" (red phone on the keypad) it will disconnect GPRS.

Cool, Thanks. I wonder why I still got the G even after turning GPRS off. Maybe I would have needed to close and restart explorer before the new settings took over. But, anyay, at least now I know that I am GPRSing - I was just woried that I was running up a big PAYG bill so need to check!

The G in the middle means GPRS is within range and available and THERE IS NO COST 4 U and unfortunatelly (or not) it can not b disabled on C500 ,when the antena is replaced by the "G" sign than u r beeing taxed (not when u r recieving a MMS) ,and when the antena is replaced by two arrows in oposite ways means u r using a CSD connection. ;)

Whats CSD?

I was getting the G instead of the Antena even after turning GPRS off, but as I said, I think I may have needed to have restarted internet explorer for this to setting to be registered.

i think your wrong. i assume by csd you mean circuit switched data ie data call but i get the arrows when using the phone as a gprs modem for my ppc. the g in the signal bars means you are connected to gpes but unfortunatly you have no way of knowing if you are actually sending or recieving anyting. my old P900 dad a globe that flashed when send\recive but the c500 seems to just show the g like my old 6310i

I think this is true. In I.E I am just relying on the flag to see if I am receiveing data - the G just sits there static.

CSD means Circuit Switched Data and unlike GPRS u r beeing taxed on the time spend browsing and not on the traffic u r making. It's speed is 9600 kbps.

Is GPRS 9600 too?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

No GPRS is 57600 kbps(class 10) about 6-7 times faster than CSD.

So whats that in KB per sec?

[Guest cold_fire]

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Theoreticly 57.6/8 means max 7.2 KBps but most networks offer an average of 5-6 KB.

ok I need help with this. Here are my settings:

GPRS:

Hutch GPRS:

Connects TO: THe internet

Access Point: portalnmms

Hutch-mms

Connects TO: MMS Network

Access Point: portalnmms

IP: 10.10.1.100

PROXY CONECTIONS:

Hutch GPRS:

Connects from: The Internet

Connects to: WAP Network

Proxy: 10.10.1.100:9201

Type: WAP

IE -> Options

Connections:

Select Network: The Internet

---------------------------

The problem is that, the regular G is always present; so I know that GPRS is available, and that part of the settings are right atleast. The problem I run into is when I actually try to goto a website such as http://mobile.msn.com/pocketpc ; or for that matter any website it gives me just: "ERROR, Unable to connect. Verify you have network coverage and try again." This is really wierd, and it does it for all the sites that I try. I do not know what I setup wrong, and it is being a real pain in the ass as I am not able to get on GPRS, and I am paying for ti monthly.

These are the settings provided by the website, any help is much appreciated.
