GPRS - problems related to storage card??

[Guest drblow]

After a couple of weeks of trouble free GPRS, I have recently had the 'dialling...' stuck problem again.

I always did have it intermittently, but now it's every time I go to connect. Previously, if I had this problem, quitting IE with taskmanager semmed to sort it out, but not anymore!

The only changes I have made recently have been installing smartface beta4, and a few reg tweaks to menu order & non standard screen (as per midnights site). I know some people had GPRS problems with the early alpha releases of whocall, but I havent found any complaints about the new smartface beta4.

But then I took out my storage card - and GPRS works! I currently have a 64mb card, which has about 50mb used. When I remove the card, GPRS connects fine!

Anybody else had this? And is there a solution - should I free up some more space on the card?

Sound like you have a problem with something on the card rather than the card it's self.

Only thing to suggest is to try removing tweaks, apps that you have installed one at

a time and see if that cures the problem.

Failing that a hard reset is the next option.

Have you asked Orange if there are any GPRS problems in your area?

And have you tried connecting after re-inserting the card to confirm the symptom?/

Do you have GPRS Traffic Counter installed on your storage card? I had some weirdness when I did the same, never really did get to the bottom of it so I just uninstalled Traffic Counter instead and then the problems "went away"...

Mmmm....

Yes, madukranian - I did replace the card to confirm this, and at the time, it did not connect when I reinserted the card, so I thought that was a definate... but now, it does dial up, but gets stuck at connecting... and eventually returns 'page you are looking for cannot be found'.

I haven't spoken to O about gprs in the area - I suppose it could be that!

Chris b.a.r.f. - I do have traffic counter installed, but on the phone, but the card. If no other explanations are forthcoming, I may try uninstalling that & see wgat happens, it's only a 30 day trial anyway which I think is nearly up.

Any other ideas would be appreciated coz I couldn't be bothered uninstalling everything from the card!
