Want to turn off "GPRS Roaming notification"

I should put it differently:)

I have a flat fee gprs subscription and want my e-mail accounts to check for new mail every x minutes. (since I do not have an exchange account I can't use push mail). In that way I more or less simulate push mail functionality.

For some reason this doesn't work though. When the phone is attached to my laptop it checkes for mail indeed every x minutes. Put as soon I disconnect it it doesn't. Then I have to send/receive manually every time. I think this may be caused by the notification of GPRS roaming rates which appears when I send/receive manually.

Does anyone has a solution for what I try to do?

Thanks!

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Old message:

Hello,

I have a question concerning the e-mail facility of the s620.

I use GPRS and like the mail to be checked automatically every 5 minutes.

That is something I can fill in into the account settings screen.

But a notification of 'possible extra charges due to roaming network' appears every time I try to connect.

Does anyone know if there is a way to turn off this notification? Since I use a flat fee subscription I don't need such a notification.

Thanks in advance,

Greetings Onne

Cingular/AT&T GPRS/EDGE connectibity issues...

I have setup my HTC S620/Excalidur exactly how Cingluar/AT&T say to do for the Samsung Blackjack. I happen to be running the official HTC WM6 ROM. I believe it is the World Wide Edition. I have not installed any hacked/custom ROMs, RUUs, or radio packages. For the past few days now, I have to reset my phone in order to get EDGE data to send and receive.

NOTE: I have an unlimited data plan, so please do not offer that suggestion.

It really boggles my mind that this is happening.

Is anyone else having a similar issue, or had a similar issue like mine? You may have run into this issue, but you are a customer of Rogers, T-Mobile, or someone else.

Unlocked Tmobile phone not working with Vodafone GPRS

Phone worked fine on Cingular network in the US. Now I came to London and can't get it to work with Vodafone GPRS. Using these settings

Access Point address : internet

Username: web

Password: web

DNS Server: 212.183.137.12

Get the error: "The remote party has ended this connection".

If I use wap then it just doesn't connect without any error.

Think the unit is flashed with Rogers ROM: 1.30.631.2

Tried another Vodafone sim with same result. Using my sim on a different phone had no problem. What's weird is that there is some data connection because the phone now has a Vodafone application that sells various premium services...so it must have somehow downloaded it.

Is there another ROM i can try to flash this to?

Thanks, Vic

GPRS / EDGE / MediaNet / Internet with AT&T (Cingular)

After countless searches on this forum, Howard forums, AT&T forums, and Google.. I am completely and utterly frustrated with what should be a very simple task: Connecting to the internet!

Wi-Fi, of course, works excellent.. but I need to correctly configure everything else now for my service provider.

Here's some info that may help:

-Previously a T-Mobile Dash, now flashed with HTC_S620_WWE_1.27.405.1_4.1.13.44_02.94.90_Ship.exe.

-However, I am NOT on the T-Mobile network (as I am NOT a T-Mobile customer). I have the SIM Unlocked and using a Cingular SIM card, under the [new] AT&T/Cingular network.

If anyone could help me out, I would owe you eternally!

Thanks in advanced.
[HTC Excalibur] TaurusBullba R.I.P.:
Here ya go...

Start -> Settings -> Connections (add from there)

Follow the prompts and input as follows:

Connection name: MEdia Net (or whatever)

Modem: Cellular Line (GPRS, 3G)

Acess point name: wap.cingular (lower case)

User Name: WAP@CINGULARGPRS.COM (all upper case)

Password: CINGULAR1 (all upper case)

Good luck! :)
[HTC Excalibur] nicematt:
You're the man.

I've tried to used these settings before, but I kept putting a proxy setting on as well (nearly every site/post has included it in their instructions). I think that's why it never worked.

I appreciate the simplicity!

I have two more questions:

1) Now, how would I go about configuring MMS?

2) Is there any other configuration (other than GPRS/Internet and MMS) that I should/could set up?

Thanks again! <3
[HTC Excalibur] LiverpoolFCfan:
Do you subscribe to Vodafone's data service ?

I use Pre-pay on Vodafone in Ireland, and everything worked fine for about 2 hours after I set up the connections - after that they turned me off.

By the way complete connection settings are available on Modaco's web site.
[HTC Excalibur] Kichigai:
You will need to add a proxy to use MMS, I believe. Below are my instructions:

Start -> Settings -> Connections -> Proxy

Create a new Proxy

Connects From: The Internet

Connects to: WAP Network

Proxy (name:port): 66.209.11.61:80

Type: Socks4

User name: WAP@CINGULARGPRS.COM

Password: cingular1

Quick note: the User Name is case sensitive. Now, actually configuring the MMSC settings:

Messaging -> Text/Multimedia -> Menu/New/MMS -> Menu/Options/Message Options -> Menu/MMSC Settings -> Menu/New

Name: AT&T MMS (or whatever you'll recognize)

MMSC URL: http://mmsc.cingular.com

WAP gateway: wireless.cingular.com

Port: 80

Connect via: The Internet

Max. sending size: 300K

WAP version: WAP 2.0

Then highlight your new Cingular/AT&T settings and go Menu/Set As Default. This won't work when you're using WiFi, and I'm experimenting with different configurations to try and solve this issue. I'll get back to you if I ever figure it out.

Maybe a WiFi connection :rolleyes: EDGE is OK, but WiFi is better (too bad it sucks up battery life)
[HTC Excalibur] nicematt:
I get "Error Synchronizing" when forcing a "[8] Send/Receive" and then it fails and gives me a "Unable to send your message(s). Your message(s) will remain in the Outbox." error.

I tried this first with the proxy, and then without it. I've used "cingular1" and "CINGULAR1" as the password. I've also tried both Socks4 and HTTP. No success. :(
[HTC Excalibur] omonra21:
Yes, I have the data plan.The weird thing is that:

a) MY sim card with other phones lets me access internet

b) My wife's sim card in MY phone lets her access internet

So clearly my account and the settings on the phone are set up correctly.

but when I put MY sim card into MY phone I get the 'server disconnected error'. This is just bizarre. Anybody have an idea how I could fix this?

Thanks a lot guys.
[HTC Excalibur] jockyw2001:
Not if your wife's card is from a different provider or has another data plan. I bet your phone gprs settings don't match with your sim provider and/or dataplan. Check them again.

Connecting thru GPRS

Hi

I own an Excalibur and was wondering how to connect to the internet using my laptop (via HTC S620 Thru GPRS)?

I have been using a symbian/linux phone before this and they always had a desktop application to support the same. Is there anything to support WM6 phones? Could not find any functionality in MSync.

TIA

I use the included wm6 app on expert folder (internet conection sharing) just put bluetooth conection and start. On my laptop bluetooth icon rigth click and put join Personal Area Network, Phone is gonna be listed and thats all now u can navigate on laptop. i think Phone must be asociated on bluetooth to work

Sorry my bad english :D

Moreover what is the included WM6 app in expert folder, I just see a clear storage, an internet sharing , task manager, sap settings and sim manager in that...
[HTC Excalibur] crimsonblake:
Yes, just use the internet sharing utility included with your phone. On my particular ROM it is located in the expert folder. On older rom's I believe it was somewhere else. Just click start and look around, you'll find it.

Manual configuration of GPRS

hi i followed the steps in the previous threads and they work on the tmobile wiing & cingular 8125 but i now have a dash and somehow the same steps aren't working i don't see any option to select cellular line (gprs) for example
[HTC Excalibur] Deuce Nitro:
Duuuuhhh

I feel like an absolute idiot asking this, but I'm paying $40/month (per phone) - on two AT&T 8525s (HTC Hermes) to get MediaNet... Or at least I think that's what I'm paying for...

Some of the things I'm reading on this forum lead me to believe that I'd have internet access (via GSM/GPRS/whatever) without paying for MediaNet. Times are tough right now - that $80/month would really come in handy, but before I call up AT&T and cancel my MediaNet service, can someone please give me the straight dope on this?
[HTC Excalibur] soju:
You need to keep the MediaNet service if you intend to use any DATA on your phones i.e. browse the web w/o using the built-in Wifi. Otherwise, what will happen is that they will transfer your service to MediaNetPayPerUse, then the price goes up to something insane like 0.50/Kb downloaded. Sorry to hear about your situation. I wholeheartedly agree that the $40/month for unlimited data is a ripoff when you can get the same thing from Tmobile for $19.99/month. It's the same with Sprint too, I believe, and you get the faster EVDO transfer. I'm dumping ATT as soon as my contract is up in June. They want $35/month for my Dash. I'm moving over to Tmo.

T-Mobile Internet not working

Hello, for the past two days my internet connections on my Excalibur are not working. Any time I try to connect through IE or a program that uses data (Viigo, Google Maps, etc), I get a message stating there is no internet connection available. A soft reset fixes it, but only for a short time. Anyone else experiencing the same thing?

I am running the 1.33 Brightpoint ROM.

WM 6.1 GPRS issue fixed!!

Greetings from Sri Lanka to all Excalibur/Dash users :)

Guys i was one of many who desperately tried to get my GPRS working on Kavana's WM 6.1 080308 ROM. Finally i managed to find a fix. Follow the instructions carefully and you will have your GPRS working in no time:)

1.Setup your GPRS settings as you would normally do in any other ROM.

Settings->Connections->GPRS->New.. Click Done.

2. Go back to Connections when your done.

3. Press Menu on your right and you will see a dialog box Advance. Press Advance

4. Under internet connection, select your newly created GPRS account. Some gibberish Chinese connection is set to default.

5. Set the Work Connection, WAP and secure WAP connection settings to Automatic

Bingo!!! Fireup the Internet Explorer and browse the net at ease :)

Guys i hope this will be an answer to all GPRS nightmares on Kavana's WM 6.1

Cheers :)

Secure WAP Network

Access Point:

goam.com

User/pass:

wapuser1/wap

IP:

208.200.067.150

At point #4: I cannot select the connection "rogers" i just created. I DO have the gibberish chinese connections present, but no rogers for me to chose from the list....

any input?
[HTC Excalibur] deathrowz_sri:
Shiz man,

Yeah you need enter all those ip settings, etc etc which you have got from rogers..Double check whether your connection "rogers" really exists under GPRS. It should be listed on top with all other gibberish chinese GPRS connections.If not make a fresh connection from the scratch with the settings and give it a try...

Hope this helps:)

2 grps questions

is there any option that warns me when the phone is going to get grps data?

and...

when wifi is on and connected, my phone is going to use the wifi connection instead of the grps data, right??

thanks for your answers!
[HTC Excalibur] uccellino:
The second one I can answer:

Basically this is done by a piece of software called the (mysterious :rolleyes:) Connection Manager. It determines, based on a lot of registry settings, which is the "cheapest" connection to use, and uses that. An added complexity is the "Internet" or "Work" network setting that you'll find in many applications (e.g. PIE and POutlook). Assuming you have the program set to use "Internet", it'll use the cheapest of those connections. Some of these settings you can configure yourself, looking under Settings->Connections, but some require provisioning or registry edits.

Try setting the Settings->Connections->Advanced options, to set the defaults.

So basically, the normal answer is yes, WIFI will be used, but sometimes if it is unavailable, your phone will try something else, and, atleast in my case, it doesn't always ask me (compared to the N95 which does). The thing I like about this is my phone can be easily set up to check my email using GPRS every 30 minutes (no push mail required ;))
[HTC Excalibur] gixxum:
also if there is an existing gprs connection and you turn on wifi, it wont switch automatically. for instance, if im connected to mIRC via gprs, then i turn wifi on and surf the web, i wil be surfing via wifi yet still connected to IRC via gprs until i disconnect/reconnect to irc. kinda acts as a dual network card on a pc.

GPRS disconnect - auto

I found this over at Vox forum, praises to mate adicris:
[HTC Excalibur] pudgedaddy:
Another way to disconnect ( no -auto)

There's also a way to kill your data connection using the red "end key". Anytime you are done surfing the web or using the data connection in any way, you just simply press the red "end key" to end your data connection.

You will need to edit the registry to enable this.

here's what you'll need to edit.

HKLM-->ControlPanel-->Phone-->....then open the "flags2" value and change the data value from "1" to "9". ((If you don't have the "flags2" value, create a (DWORD) named "flags2" [no quotations] and put a value of "9" in it. )) Soft reset your phone and there you go!. No need to go to comm manager to end your data connection anymore!

o2 GPRS Settings for Germany in WM 6.1

Hello,

I just "upgraded" to Kavangas Windows Mobile 6.1.

Of course, the internet-/gprs-settings have to be reentered.

Unfortunately, I do not know what to do and where to do it.

The settings menue is somewhat different from that of WM 5 and WM 6 and I am completely lost.

Thank you for your advice!
[HTC Excalibur] fruchtschwert:
You can use the "Connection Setup"-program to configure the connection automatically. It can be found in the Start-Menu under "Accessoires". It worked perfectly for my XDA Cosmo.
[HTC Excalibur] Warthogdriver:
Ok, another question for all: what if your country is not listed?

The settings that were working for me with WM6 are no longer working for WM6.1 & it is driving me crazy!!

I am in the Caribbean & we are not listed in the configuration setup screen (surprise, surprise)...what the heck do I do now?????
[HTC Excalibur] :
The best thing to do is to go to your provider's website and find their settings. Some of the larger carriers (dunno how that scales for the Caribbean) have generic windows-mobile settings since they know that people will buy unlocked phones for use on their services. The settings should apply.

In fact, your old settings should basically work with minimal tweaking to things like mail accounts and MMS. My T-Mobile USA settings didn't really differ. How they were entered into the phone changed a little, however.
[HTC Excalibur] Warthogdriver:
That's what i figured, but I have not been able to get my settings to work.

I have tried all sorts of different configurations, to no avail. Quite frustrating!

The main problem is that my Carrier does not have it's generic settings on their website (they also do not currently offer ANY WinMo phones!).
