Hi
I use my 8125(Wizard) on the cingular network. Everytime a call is made or i use gprs connection it gives me a popup with my remaining balance. Is there some way of disabling that "feature"?
Thanks

I need some help. I can't seem to force my 9100 not to roam. Even after selecting manual network selection, it still roams over to another network. Can anyone help?
Try to set the "prefered networks" enabling only the one that you want to connect to.

Thanks for you guys' reply. I have read those threads and it's not the same problem.
I am on SunCom which is a local small local network. I have tried to set it to Manual network selection and Preferred Network but it is still roaming over to Cingular when SunCom is not available. I rather not have a signal at all. You see I have unlimited EDGE data only with SunCom. If I'm on Cingular, I'll have to pay for the data connection.
Can anyone help?
I've had my Kaiser for 2 days now with no probs. Then today, a nightmare. I cannot make any calls longer than 10 secs. For some reason as soon as i make a call it shows the 3g logo then kicks the call, loses the network connection then gets it back. it also shows the E for edge Icon all the time and its this icon that changes to 3g during a call. It also has the triangle icon all the time, which is roaming. i sure as hell hope im not! all other functions in this device work like a charm-texting, gps, wifi- all work great. Im on fido in Vancouver. This is not a supported handset and so i get no help from them( i dont think the 20 year olds that man the tech lines have a clue anyway). I read that it may be due to an old sim card, is this likely? Any help would be appreciated, im at my wits end, and im starting to think of selling. Help!
P.S.
I dont care about data connection other than Wifi, since the data plans are a joke here. So i dont even want these features active.
Try to switch your phone to GSM only (under phone options/band)
Dag Gammit i think this may have done it! -crossing fingers and testing- will play around with this some more and see what happens. thanks for the suggestion.
Yes indeed ID64, has it right. It's not just this phone that tries to seek the strongest band around, but drops the call in the process.
Changing using settings to GSM only works, but you may be in situations where you want the other bands. You can use the same method to switch back, But you might want a nicer/quicker way using Danielherrero's Bandswitch or Commmgrpro application. He's a member here and you can search here or google. The early freeware version is around somewhere.

Fido and the roaming triangle
I wouldn't worry about the roaming thing, since all of the towers report as rogers since the network conversion.
Here in Winnipeg I'm always roaming and it has never been an issue. I'm even calling long distance (Calgary?) for voice mail.
I haven't tried it since have the all you can eat data plan for $50. but I vaguely recall seeing in the wizard forum that apparently you can get a cheap data plan through fido if you claim your phone is a HipTop. Worth a try if you want data.

hiptop
Umm, just out of curiosity, does the HipTop thing still work? and what is it exactly?
I am about to get a plan and this one sounds intriging..
I'm on Fido with a Tilt too, works flawlessly with my 8 year old sim card. I'm very interested in this Hip-Top data plan. Has anybody tried it yet? someone definatly should and let us know!
any way to get rid of the roaming notifications so we can enable automatic email downloading? feature will not work while roaming and my FIDO phone is always roaming on my home network. can't find a registry hack for the Kaiser for this.
Fido roaming and e-mail
I haven't found a way to turn off the roaming notification. However you can set up e-mail accounts to automatically download even when roaming. Obviously if you do really roam you will be charged mightily so I would use with caution.
for hotmail (windows live) it's option 5 in the options menu item
for other accounts
-Send/Receive Schedule
-- Advanced Settings
--- Use automatic send/receive schedule when roaming
send/recieve schedule when roaming

My rom will not let me enable the automatic send/recieve when roaming without FIRST defining a send/recieve schedule. The schedule is inconveniant becuase i don't want the phone to stay on 3G connected 24hrs/day or my battery goes dead. I have it set to disconect 3G after 45 seconds but this only works if the phone is ON. When the phone is in sleep state it will leave the 3G on all the time so it opens up a whole other can of worms/problems. Does your rom let you enable this send/recieve while roaming option without first enabling a schedule? if so, which rom you using?
Hi all,
Got a little strange one, and tbh i'm not sure if this is normal/expected. If i have an application running using the 3G or GPRS connection, and I either send/receive a txt or use the phone the 3G/gprs internet drops out and has to wait until i'm finished until it can connect back up again.
Is this normal/part of the 3G/GPRS technology, or is there something wrong with my phone/connection?
I'm on t-mobile web'n'walk unlimited in the UK (the non HSDPA package)
Advice please!
If you have a permanent data connection you need to change 'Settings' 'Connections' 'SMS Service' to 'GPRS preferred' from'GSM'
Note: this is on a stock HTC ROM.
aha, interesting.
Yep that option is on my rom (the t-mobile rom does actually seem very standard tbh, I'm pleasantly surprised!)
Will give that a go and report back, cheers m8
no such luck, still drops everytime a txt message comes in or i send one. Any ideas why this could be??
I have the same problem. This never happened on my S621 HTC unit on rogers.
I am running XDA WM6 ROM with Radio 2.71.11 (no Cingular fix applied). I noticed that while my GPRS is active that my phone doesn't ring when I have an incoming call. In fact the network diverts the caller straight to voicemail as if I'm out of coverage.
Is this normal behaviour or is it something to do with the WM6 rom and 2.71 not being compatible? I've seen that there is a Cingular fix for this radio rom. Is it supposed to fix this problem or only a problem particular to the Cingular network?
I have experienced this once using 2.69 radio on WM5SEr5.
Turned out something 'went wrong'during startup.
Soft reset fixed it.
BTW: It only happened with an active Blackberry GPRS (via RIM APN) connection.
When internet connection (via Vodafone APN) was active all was OK
I have seen on cingulars website that it has to do with the 2.2* and up versions. It does not allow you to do data and phone at the same time. I ahve a 8125 with the same issue... I use to check my email every 3-5 minutes but changed it to 15 so I can at least make a 15 min call now.
I was hoping that the 2.71 radio would fix that but I guess I was wrong.

I dropped back to the 2.19 radio but it still happens.
No, this is the way how GPRS in GSM works.
Data service and Voice service shares the same channel, so incoming calls are not received when data is transferring. However incoming calls are received when connection is idle, either when GPRS connection is established but no data is being transferred.
There is no way to overcome this limitation, unless you go for a 3G phone (as well as 3G service, for sure)
In Tytn II if you go to ...
Start>Settings>connections>Sms service..
what selection should be done?
it should be GSM or GPRS preferred or GSM preferred?
Actually my problem is that when i check my account balance using the code *123# i do not get response from the service provider.
However if i reboot after
Start > settings>connections> Connection setup>
i get the response for *123# for some time and again the problem appears.
What can cause this....
It depends on your provider. Here SMS over GPRS aren't supported so it's GSM only.
tytn64~
kilrah's right, it depends on who your service provider is....in many cases (i know for unicel and at&t here in the usa) u can call customer service and they will either walk you thru setting it up properly (call form another phone so you can be making the setting changes on your fone) or they can send the settings to your fone (thats the easiest if they can/will)
good luck
