Hi there,

I have been trying to connect to Orange UK HSDPA, 3G and Edge networks for the past few days to browse internet, download email and rss, and update weather. My phone is unable to connect though. No problems with text or call delivery.

Anyone else suffering from this? Thanks.
[Touch HD General] Tytanium:
yeah im experiencing the same but only of today.it was okay yesterday and i havent been cut off or anythng of the like.

dont really want to do a hard reset but i will do later and see it makes a difference.

what rom and radio are you using?

im using the 1.8 l26 rom

r 1.10.25.25

g 52.57.25.30u

d 1.14.38865
[Touch HD General] zoomee:
hey guys,

I work closely with orange and can report that there aren't any planned outages I am aware of for the orangeinternet APN (The public one). Our private APN seems to be working ok so the problem lies with the public service.

My suggestion is to get this reported to orange asap so they can diagnose the issue further especially if it is affecting multiple areas (i'm in huddersfield) and can confirm I have the same issue aswell.

Its not anything to do with radion/rom as I was running Dutty's extreme with radio 1.12 up until 2 nights ago - since which I have reverted back to the standard 1.14 orange ROM using the 1.09 radio and still am suffering the same issue as you guys.

hth - zoomee
[Touch HD General] evilskanker:
Mine wouldn't work as of yesterday, quite late yesterday to be honest though. I am in Fife, Scotland. I'm running Dutty's extreme rom 2.1 for note, but doesn't seem to be Rom specific.

Does anyone have dropped call problems with their Orange HDs too? Mine seems to have developed the problem recently. Already had to send a few back so really not wanting to have to do it again!
[Touch HD General] Tytanium:
thanks for your reply and sugestion zoomee

iv got to transfer 10Gb of data to a new sd and then il reflash my phone with a new radio, hard reset didnt solve anythng nor did re-doing the connection setup.

il report back in an hour or so when im done.

no i havent had any dropped call issues.does your wifi work okay?i can connect to my hub but am not receiving any data or internet access
[Touch HD General] zoomee:
definately something affecting the orangeinternet APN if its affecting us all - so far i've read reports from london, scotland and yorkshire about the same issue.

Sure it will be resolved come tommorow as they'll be on skeleton-staff over the weekend. ;)
[Touch HD General] TheOriginalNelly:
Wow, noticed no connection this morning tried a few times upto now thought id check in to see if anyone else having probs, i am in the midlands. Will give orange a ring now.

Got through the blurb on the auto answer system on orange, pre-recorded message we have probs and are trying to sort! dont hold your breath.
[Touch HD General] defraguk:
Looks like I picked a great day to flash my rom - didn't check connectivity before flashing, thought the rom was borked!!! No connection since about 8:00am which is when I flashed.
[Touch HD General] makavelianz:
Same problem here, no connection since about 9pm yesterday. :mad:
[Touch HD General] fowler002:
I've got the £5/month 500mb but don't really use it that much(as I use wifi at home mainly) so didn't notice the problem till I read this, just checked and it appears I'm suffering as well(I'm in Reading, Berkshire).

do I use Orange Internet or Orange WAP setting? leaving it on default appears to be using Orange WAP, I don't want to be charged on the £1/day rather than the usage being taken out of the 500mb/month when I use 3g rather than wifi.
[Touch HD General] wuzzie:
What timing! My new data bundle (500MB) had just kicked in (I got the service message around midnight) but no actual data service available. It was working at around 6pm, since I was looking up train times on the move, but by midnight there was nothing. At first I thought it was something in the service message had mucked things up, but my partner also had no data service when she checked.
[Touch HD General] 12q12q:
The same here in Bristol, was working yesterday (although not quite as good coverage as normal) now it seems to have totally gone..
[Touch HD General] Spike™:
same here guys, i'm in Letchworth, Hertfordshire.

but only experiencing problems since this morning,
[Touch HD General] Heefy:
Nightmare

Ok that makes 13 people all on Orange who are using various stock and Dutty or similar ROMS who are experiencing the same issue. With the recording from orange added to the info its fair to say its an orange weekend issue.

When I checked my connection settings I found the modem section greyed out. To be specific when I go to start>Settings>click on the connection tab>select the connection icon>then click on manage existing connections>then select edit. In the second drop down box on the orange internet settings screen it says "select a modem" the content of that box is set to Cellular Line (GPRS, 3G) but it is greyed out and unable to select or change.

Would someone be kind enough to check the same please as I am concerned my modem is dead!

Thanks very much in advance. I appreciate your help whilst pulling out large clumps of hair.

Heefy
[Touch HD General] alltruism:
I'm getting the same problem, could use Internet on the move with my Touch HD yesterday up until early evening, then nothing - just times out when I try and connect :(

Standard 1.14 ROM btw
[Touch HD General] alltruism:
Mine is exactly the same. If I create a complete new connection I do get to select a modem though, but its greyed out on my existing one
[Touch HD General] Heefy:
thanks

Thanks for your reply you have made me a happier man. I was thinking my modem was knackered.

H
[Touch HD General] wuzzie:
I don't think it's device-related at all -- I'm running stock 1.19 still (radio 1.09.25.25 from memory) but my other half is running an antique TyTN and it's dead for her too.

Just the same here, the modem selection dropdown is greyed out -- but I think that's normal, although I can't be sure because I never really noticed before.
[Touch HD General] Heefy:
Now I am feeling much better. I guess we just wait until Orange guys and girls walk into the office tomorrow and resolve the issue. Oh BTW my sky internet on my PC was very slow and sporadic early hours of this morning. Maybe its a radio mast, transmitter or a lump of space metal not working properly?

Thanks again. Great community.

H
[Touch HD General] Tytanium:
sorry for my late reply. i flashed and hard reset and i have a connection.

if you can afford to, do a back up and hard reset perhaps and then re run ur connection setup.

thanks for all your ur input, hopefully orange will sort this as i have two contracts with them and im not getting my moneys worth, even if it is for a day.i like my money :)
[Touch HD General] Heefy:
Trying

Im gonna try a soft reset and run the connection setup again. I will let you know. thanks for the update.

H
[Touch HD General] Heefy:
I got nothing!
[Touch HD General] alltruism:
Me neither. I'm loathe to do a hard reset, especially when it seems to be a problem at the Orange end
[Touch HD General] Spike™:
yeah i did a hard reset and nothing changed either.....
[Touch HD General] Tytanium:
i think my efforts may have proven pointless.

im getting a connection but not receiving data, my emails wont come through even though im seeing the correct data icons etc

says orange internet copnnected for 22 minutes now but not received a single email.

IE and opera are non responsive too.

so am i the only person gettin a 'ghost'/partial connection?
[Touch HD General] Halloween Jack:
I just received an email - first time today i've had a connection.
[Touch HD General] Heefy:
No I get the moving arrows on the notification area at the top of the screen with a large "E" or "H" dependant on where I am but nothing downloads. I just thought that told me that it was trying, not that it was actually moving data?

H
[Touch HD General] Tytanium:
the moving arrows is when its working to get a conection.when you have a connection u have a signal bar and a small letter H,E or G depending on where you are.

Halloween Jack,glad your getting something through, whats your approx location?

this is a nation wide problem by the look of this post.

D
[Touch HD General] Halloween Jack:
I'm in the depths of Cornwall!

Getting emails but Opera not reaching web pages. I'll try and reset...
[Touch HD General] Gilgamesh1066:
Connection down for Birmingham UK too.......went down last night and been out all day.

Strange thing is I also have a BB Pearl 8120 for business and that's working fine on Orange but that does use GPRS and not H,E or 3G.

Would suggest everyone sits tight and doesn't do anything drastic as it looks like a network issue and not our HD's.

If not fixed tomorrow by 10:00am will be calling Orange. Would suggest others do the same.
[Touch HD General] -PiLoT-:
well i noticed this at three in the morning, i thort id leavvei t overnight as they often do muck up at that time

i rang through this morning and was told me servers were down and there working on a fix

i got the "ghost connection" now i get nothing it tries

the weird thing is my icon 225 mobile broadband has worked all day

(unless im IMAGINING MY POSTS)

itll prop get fixed early hours, they told me they prefer to fix it early hours because not as many user ar trying to get back on so it doesnt jam the internet up
[Touch HD General] scotia_rfc:
Hi Guys,

I can confirm that i'm having problems also.

I can get emails but thats about it. Browser's don't connect :(

Slightly off topic, noticed that a few others have said they have a £5pm 500mb data bundle. Is this just a new bundle available?

I'm currently on a £7.50pm 250mb data bundle. :(

Think i'll be calling them tomorrow!
[Touch HD General] orangewarrior:
same here. releived to know we're all in the same boat.. Some office worker will flick a switch at 9am tomorrow and all will be well again. :)
[Touch HD General] matthoy:
same here on anglesey.
[Touch HD General] AndyCr15:
For the record, I have this issue too :( How do I delete the extra connection I made?

I'm also eager to hear a response to this?
[Touch HD General] meandu229:
same was gonna reflash my radio,, wont bother now
[Touch HD General] zoomee:
depends on who you get through to at orange regarding the data tarrif.

What I recommend is don't take any crap from them and tell them you want the £5 tarrif (500MB) or want to cut off all data services and they'll soon succumb.

It was only introduced at the beggining of this year I think so obviously they arent going to publicise it to anyone but new customers as they're milking us for everything they can get with 250MB @ £7.50 per month!
[Touch HD General] alltruism:
The options I get online are:

Orange World Access

Mbs per month	cost per month

none	£ 0.00

OW Daily Capped Usage	£ 0.00

Unlimited Evening & Weekend Browsing	£ 5.00

30	£ 8.00

80	£ 41.13

...80MB for £41.13?? Is it only by taking on their customer service advisors that you can get a semi-decent rate?
[Touch HD General] scotia_rfc:
Just check the website. Once you select a monthly plan, it then gives u the additional bundles etc you can select, and the 500mb £5 bundle is there.

Think they will be getting a call tomorrow regarging this and also the data connection problem.
[Touch HD General] makavelianz:
Iv just phoned orange and asked for a 2 day refund, The lady on the phone was like its only 32p i was like i dont care im not paying for something im not getting. :rolleyes::mad:
[Touch HD General] Spike™:
ok guys all sorted here!

i'm happy again........

hope it's not too long for you guys too
[Touch HD General] Radeon123:
Internet came back on for me in Neath at around 1:17am (9th March) :D

All works ok now, seems Orange had a serious problem.
[Touch HD General] zoomee:
tested here fine too guys ;)
[Touch HD General] dboy998:
Zooms, when did you learn how to spell test :p

Long time no speak dawg ;);)
[Touch HD General] Gilgamesh1066:
Can confirm H,E & 3G are all backup and running here too. Service was resumed in the early hours around 1:30am.
[Touch HD General] matthoy:
Can confirm H,E & 3G are all backup and running here too

tested at 8.30am this morning.
[Touch HD General] alltruism:
All back to normal again here too.
[Touch HD General] scotia_rfc:
Can confirm all is ok agan in my neck of the woods.

Also, called them up regarding the data bundle. Got through to a rather pleasent woman in their Indian call centre.

Switched me over to the £5pm 500mb bundle with no trouble! :)

Thats me now £2.50 less pm with double my data allowance! :D

Noticed that they still have a recorded message on the line informing that gprs is still down.
[Touch HD General] meandu229:
same cheaper and more :D ,, i do like the orange call centres although mine was UK based this time, always had quick pick up times and helpful staff
[Touch HD General] zoomee:
EAZAY BRO!!!

been time - you got a touch HD too! :) :)

respek ;)
[Touch HD General] dboy998:
Of course i have fella, come on you know me better than that, You not remember the time at Thursdays Enemy Territory lan meet that we both showed up with the ole Tungsten T3, to the envy of everyone there hahah

Always on the bleeding edge of tech my man. Even persuaded Bynar to get one as well.

Finally got a new motor after teh Ducati 998 got nicked. now got an imported mazda RX7 single turbo conversion, drop me a pm with your current contact details bro and i will send you some snaps and give you a bell, after all you do change your mobile number more often than you change your pants ;);)

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] NitrousGT:
I am in search of a new phone for Sprint. I have the Titan (Mogul) and want to upgrade. Not sure how long before the Diamond 2 will be available for Sprint. Any suggestions?

I checked with Sprints CSR's but they said they have not heard of it :confused:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] zoot600:
wait for it
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Hojlind:
well in europe the diamond2 is launching april or may, as far as i have been told. but since you use sprint, i guess you are from USA right? and its said that USA would not get it until Q3 or Q4 of 2009. with that said i would wait no matter what, unless you really hate your titan. because diamond is good but diamond2 is for sure worth the wait :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] NitrousGT:
Well, Q3 or Q4, thats towards the end of the year. The titan is falling apart, i took it to get serviced and they charged $100, so i figured i might as well upgrade since i am due and i can get the Diamond for $199. Not sure what the Diamond2 is going to cost. Any word out?

If it comes out end of this year, i am sure I will be due for an upgrade by Q1 next year and by then they will have fixed all the ROM issues and bugs"? Ideas?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] band27:
I would suggest not waiting for it as it might take forever or never to get to you particular cell phone provider. The Diamond thanks to this forum is great. As far as price is concern...based on speculation that the specs. are pretty much identical to the HTC HD, expect the price to be high....

So affordability might be an issue regarding this decision as well.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] NitrousGT:
Thats exactly what i was thinking. not sure how long before Sprint actually starts to have them available on their network. Even if they have it end of this year for Christmas, it will take a few months for the price to be reduced and at that time i will be eligible for an upgrade to another phone by late Q1.

What is the best ROM to have on the diamond and what suggestions do you all recommend once i receive it? I am sure i have lots of read on this site to make the most of the Diamond, but any quick suggestions?

How is the texting on it, easy to use? i am used to the full keyboard from titan.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] band27:
I will send you my thoughts / recommendations in your PM box....check there ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] NitrousGT:
thanks for your recommendation. i will place the order today for the Diamond. Any links you all want to recommend me to so that i can view it and learn more about the Diamond before it arrives?.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] mgs333:
for me, the diamond2 getting bigger is a big reason why i didn't wait for it. and there's no guarantee that sprint will even carry the diamond2 anyway and as others have said it'll probably be q409 before they have it at all.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] band27:
Basically go through the stickies in the development thread starting with this one>>http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=416211

Step One

: Hard SPL your device
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] NitrousGT:
Thanks,

Whats the purpose of the Hard SPL?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] emugpp:
but the music audio quality of the Diamond is way worse than the Touch HD one right? I'm asking because I'm indecisive between the two for months now :/
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] bastage:
Sprint being CDMA not GSM will likely take longer before carying it them people are estimating.. I would guess mid 2010 if ever & By then if they jump on the LTE train with the pther 3 carriers they may not be all that inclined to cary a high end device that they will have to replace so soon.. & if there not jumping on the LTE train then there going to be suffering BADLY network wise & You would be better off moving elsewhere..

Hi guys I been trying to get wap and mms on my tc for metro. I currently have juciy's 4.4 rom as well as Arcsoft MMS version 5.0.70.24 from Verzion. I followed all the steps from this thread http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php?t=1466303 But the only thing I'm able to work is the internet. I tried logging on to my gmail from tf3d but all it says is Error Synchronizing on the bottom and then i get a pop up saying cannot connect with current connection settings. And it seems youtube and mms don't work either. I been searching for a whole week now and i have reflashed roms pelety of times but this darn thing doesnt work. Idk what im doing wrong. So please give me some suggestions on what I should do. Thanks
[Touch HD General] vaurdan:
Hey guys!

Something strange is appening on my HD.

When I run Opera, from the TF3D tab, it crashes...

I Run it, and the is just crash. When I press the cross, it is not in the Task Manager anymore, but I can't run it again, so I've to Soft Reset it...
[Touch HD General] vaurdan:
bump. please help me!
[Touch HD General] vaurdan:
bump 2? I really need your help
[Touch HD General] jonajuna:
not enough info to help

what rom you running?

what tweaks you performed?

what other apps you have installed?

have you hard reset and tried opera before you install anything else?

sorry but your question is like saying "my car dont work" :)
[Touch HD General] vaurdan:
I'm running the default ROM.

The only tweaks i've perfomed were the HD Tweak and Advanced configuration

I've some games, Wireless Monitors, and when the problem started I installed Opera 9.5 but neither Opera 9.5, neither the default Opera run well...

I' haven't try to hardreset my phone, but when I bought it, before install any app it was well.

Maybe the problem could be the low free space i've on the Read Only memory?
[Touch HD General] jonajuna:
wouldnt of thought so, but a fix to try is to put your temp internet files onto the sdcard instead... you have emptied the cache yes?

as you didnt have a problem before (when it was new) i would try rolling back to the origional opera, moving the temp files to sd card and checking through the tweaks youve done with hdtweak and advance config (both pretty powerful apps and can balls it up if you dont know what u r doing
[Touch HD General] vaurdan:
I've had very careful using HD Tweak and Advanced Configuration. I'll try that cache thing.

Btw, there isn't any option instead of soft reset the HD, for run opera again? I can't close it, because its not on Task Manager...
[Touch HD General] Vanstra:
Did you install FlashLite3 ?

Deinstall it and check again.
[Touch HD General] vaurdan:
No, I don't have it installed.

It could be the ATI driver?

Now I can't even open the browser. It is crashing when Loading...
[Touch HD General] vaurdan:
Well? Any ideia guys?
[Touch HD General] DrDistorzion:
I have a similar problem. Mine crashes often and it allso disapears from the task manager often and can't be started again til I softreset.

I allso have the default ROM, original browser version, no Flash installed but some cosmetic tweaks like extra TF3D-tabs, TF3D-tweaks etc.

How do I make Opera store cache on the SD-card? can't find it in settings..
[Touch HD General] sebr1ng:
I'd like to know that too...
[Touch HD General] Fallen Spartan:
Install Advanced Config. Go to Locations and change default storage location to location you prefer
[Touch HD General] DerrickD2:
possibility...

Opera was always crashing for me too. Once I get a new device I always overload on applications, just to see what works, then I restore the factory settings. Once I restored, Opera worked without crashing! I am not saying that another application was the cause, but restoring the device somehow fixed Opera.
[Touch HD General] vaurdan:
Well, I was trying to avoid Hard Reset. Any other ideia?
[Touch HD General] vaurdan:
bump? Come on people :D
[G1 Android Development] mlevin:
I've been receiving frequent "cleaning memory (low memory)" warnings recently.

I'm on a rooted RC33 and I have all my caches and my apps (both app and app-private) moved to my sdcard and that partition has TONS of space.

I do have a lot of apps installed, but most are not constantly running background-type apps/services.

What can I do to resolve this? I am happy to post the output of various diagnostic things if anyone has suggestions.

Thanks
[G1 Android Development] dwang:
moving apps to flash won't have any effect low mem has to do with low ram not flash.

do u have dxtop installed? the latest ver stays in memory which means less mem for other apps
[G1 Android Development] wimbet:
Have you installed aHome? I noticed the low memory warning too for the first time last night. I think the only thing new I installed was aHome.
[G1 Android Development] wimbet:
I also have dxTop and found this in the release notes. Maybe this is what caused the msg to pop up.

"More memory released when the phone gets low on memory."
[G1 Android Development] mlevin:
I do, but I decided not to use it as it was really slow. It is still installed, but it never comes up (shouldn't even run) as I set dxTop to my default home app.
[G1 Android Development] mlevin:
Interesting. Maybe my phone was running low on memory all along and it is just that now dxTop is report it to me visually :)
[G1 Android Development] Nitro212:
if you have dxTop go to the setting of dxTop > menu >> dxTop uncheck what it says disabel persistance.

it eats all ur memory.. uncheckign that will run a lil slower when returnign to home but will have more memory for other apps
