GPRS Dialling Sticking

[Guest Pagemakers]

Each time I try to connect to GPRS on Orange in the UK my phone sticks on the dialling screen about 50% of the time.

Why?

I thought this bug would have been fixed on the E100.

Sadly not!

Hit the hang up button and immeadiately try again. Sorts it out most of the time. Bit of a pain though...

I already do that but I shouldn't have to. It should work first time every time not just now and then.

Try using taskmanager to close IE & then try reconnecting. That mostly works for me. If that fails, try switching radio off/on - that sometimes works too!

By the time you've done all that, you might aswell have switched the phone itself off/on - which seems to remedy the problem pretty reliably!

Of course, now that we are all supposed to be paying $2 per MB, you could always phone Orange CS EVERY SINGLE TIME IT HAPPENS & complain like hell about the crappy service - thats what I do!!

Something else I've noticed which would appear to be I.E software related is that links seem to work a lot less reliably if you 'fit to screen'.

Im really pissed off with this now. GPRS only connects 20% of the time first time. Other then that it just says dialling. My email auto downloads every 30 minutes and almost every morning it is stuck in dialling mode.

What a pile of crap this really is. Sort it or I am off Microsoft.

Orange told me GPRS dialling sticks because where I use it (Manchester and Birmingham) up to 30 GPRS nodes are down or operating on limited capacity.

Guess we are on for a refund then :)

in nottingham the GPRS seemed to work flawlessly for me but in norwich (where i have a poor signal) it does get stuck alot.

i have the 'quickclose' app on speed dial so i just do that and it sorts it out most of the time :? i agree tho pain in the arse just like sending texts that fail. :evil:
