Problems with GPRS connection

Hello All,
I have problems on my Kaiser with the internet connection via GPRS (here is no 3G network available).
When I want to update the weather forecast in the Home plugin, sometimes is working, sometimes not. Errormessage is then "server connection lost".
Same story in the Internet Exporer, I can open a web page, then when I click on a link or other page, "connection lost".
According to the status window connection is established and running.
Has anybody an idea here?
I tried already the disable hidden proxy and also the cache of the PIE on the handset. I tried also the advised settings in the tool "kaiser tweaks".
For the connection settings, I have only to put the access point name, my network is assigning all other data automatically.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanx,
g-fall

I would say re-check your providers gprs settings.

thank you for the reply.
sorry, i forgot to mention that befor the Kaiser I had the Artemis and it was always working without problems.
btw, the problems with regular email checks was solved by disabling the auto time update and disabling the taskmanager from the today screen. So I hoped that there is something what I missed until now...
Thank you

MEdia net automatic connect

I was wondering if there was a way to disable Media Net's automatic connecting whenever I open Internet explorer. I only use wifi for the internet. I disabled it using Kaiser tweak and that worked but then I cannot recieve MMS without MEdia Net enabled. I don't have a problem with it being enabled I just don't want it to automaticly start connecting. If it cant be disabled for everything but mms I would rather have a prompt.
Thanks.

EDIT: I should have read before posting. I'm not sure about the MMS part as I don't use the NODATA program. I was just thinking on the disabling data what I did for my moms phone. Sorry.

I tried that program and it has made it easer to enable/disable MEdia Net, but If there is a way to just make it not automatically connect that would be better. I really hate being charged for the data connection when I don't want to

Has nobody else wanted to get rid of the automatic connecting?

This is the way I disabled the automatic connection on my tilt with stock at&t rom. I don't know if it will work on other kaiser models/ roms since I'm still new with windows mobile (only had the tilt for a couple of months).
go to start>settings> connections tab.
select connections, go to advanced tab.
go to select networks.
On "programs that automatically connect to the internet should connect using:"
I changed it from MEdia NET to My Work Network (since I don't use a work network it is not set up). I also switched the second option to my work network just in case.
Since "my work network" was not set up, whenever internet explorer or any other program tries to connect, it will show a "cannot connect" error unless wifi is already activated. however I can still send/recieve MMS since the MEdia net is not disabled.
If you need to use MEdia net on IE you can just switch the opiton back to media net.
I'm still fairly new to windows mobile and my tilt, and I couldn't find a way to do this after searching for days, so i just kept messing with the connections settings until i found this. This is the first time I got a chance to help someone here so I hope it's what you're looking for!

Thanks a lot, it works great!

So I thought this worked but I relized when I make Media Net not auto connect I cannot send or recieve MMS. Is there a way to only allow messaging to auto connect and then disconnect when done?

um why dont you just go to your connection settings and delete your "my connection" its not hard

If I were to do that then I cannot send/receive MMS. That is the dilemma.

go to connections and switch it to "My ISP" and delete the gprs setting from "My ISP"

Please Please Please someone respond to wifi connection problems

i would but seems like no one has bothered to help out in other threads either

are you sure that you are using the "right" encryption? perhaps you have wpa2
(tkip or aes) and the device checks only wpa? or you enter the wrong password in
wep, then the connection looks like it is established, but you can do nothing with it!
just a thought...

yep

hello...yep..everything is entered correctly..as i say ive been setting them up for years..this one connects fine..have all the boxes ticked but cant actually use the internet..works fine on all my other wm units

Stupid question tbh but I see this sort of thing every day nearly..
Your subnet is the same as the router yes? Does dhcp allocate one out to you or have u got a static ip on the phone?
Despite being connected to the wifi access without being on the same network you will not gain net access.

Who is your carrier for cell service? If you're on AT&T, and you've run an auto-setup CAB file for your cellular network settings, then you may need to double check your connection and proxy settings. Usually the solution is to select the correct network connection and NOT try to use your carriers proxy when you're connected via Wifi.
If you ARE on AT&T, then do this... Go to Start > Settings > Connections tab > Connections > Advanced tab > Select Networks button. Set both drop down entries to MEdiaNet... for most this will have NO adverse impact (assumes you have a data plan too). OK to save selections.
Now go back to those MEdiaNet drop down selections. Edit either one of them. Go to the Proxy Setting tab. Uncheck the second box indicating this network connection uses a proxy. OK the settings... enjoy non-proxied Internet freedom via Wifi.
If you're not on AT&T, maybe the same proxy issue could be present. But I couldn't help you with your settings. Hope this helps.

hey..thank you for having little think about it..but im in the uk..t-mobile and those settings having nothing to do really with connecting to my wifi at home..except tell my phone it can..which i did..
all the settings are correct...exactly the same settings im using on other wm devices but when they say its connected i can actually do something..rather than on the diamond where it says its connected but doesnt allow me
ive set the phone up identical to another wm6 phone in every way..that connects fine and i can use my wifi ..this phone i cant

Have you tried connecting to a different wifi router, a friend or whatever?
If you can connect there, then that narrows down the problem to your settings, or your router, or the router setup
Do you know anyone else with a Diamond that could try to see if they could connect to your router?
If they can connect but you can't then you could take a look at their connections. Or it could mean a faulty device. If they can't connect either, then this will give you some clues.
I'm assuming that you've deleted the connection and reformed it. Did you choose work or the internet? Have you tried changing that.
Have you tried changing the Authentication to Shared?
Each time you make a change you need to let it 'set' for a few seconds and then reboot.
Can you connect to the internet via Activesync pass-through?
Sorry, that's all I can think of at the moment. If something else occurs to me I'll post back.

Hi.. I'm not sure if this will help or if you already have tried it.
But I had the same problem and the solution was this:
Pres start -> Settings -> Connection -> Wireless Lan -> power mode
Now use best settings, instead of battery save. ( Im not sure if the translation is 100% right. Translated from danish Diamond)
At the start I couldn't load any pages with Wi-fi, though there was no problem with the connection from the router. But now it works like a charm

hey all..sorry but the problem still exists !!!
cant connect..looking at lan settings..
status - Associated to network
it shows connected but status only associated..please tell me when the smeg is going on with this darn diamond before i through it against the wall !!!

This was the solution for me
I have had the same problem Imy phone even should be picked up by the repair centre then as a last try someone gave me the idea to change the leaver at wireless lan/energymodus to the left (best conection) and whala, I have tried it later whit my phone almost on the wirelesspoint to set it to best batterymode but not even at the middle it would do anything, it says conected but no data is comming to the phone, just when the leaver is at his almost left it will work.
Good luck.

-Have you analyzed your router's log already?
-What is set under Start => Settings => Connections => Connections => Advanced => Choose Networks (translated it, not sure about the exact words)?
-Data connections via UMTS or GPRS do work?
-Go and try another router of a friend or internetcafe.

ive checked

3G/GPRS instead of Wifi/Wlan

Hello,
I have an problem. When i'm connected to Wifi and launch Opera, weather update or anything else which uses internet. The diamond makes connection with the 3G/GPRS network. The wifi is being ignored or something.
I thougt that i had seen this problem before on this forum, but i searched and can't find it anymore.
Does anybody know an solution or knows where i can find one?
Grtz

You can set network priority up somewhere, i'd be of more help but i don't remember where this is in settings

I have also been looking for a solution to set network priority as wlan first but cant find where to..
ident

I've been reading this site a fair old bit recently! First time i've been influenced to post though. I'd also love a solution to this. Does anyone know how to change priority settings? I swear i'd turned GPRS off, but whenever I check the weather or internet, it connects, sometimes even when I have a wi-fi connection active.
I wish to only use my Diamond with the wi-fi, don't want to get raped on the data charges. Any help would be greatly appreciated Thanks.

That's the exact issue i have! Its bloody anoying!

how about using NoData or from Advance configuration utilities in comm manager actually disabling all other connections ? i've been confronted with the same problem many times and rather use the available Wi-Fi over the mobile internet connections, so that helped me

That's not good enough for me. I have a databundle so when i'm not at home i wanna use that internet. But when i'm at home i want wifi!

I think i found the problem. When you make a connection with a wifi network you can choose between "internet" and "work". When you choose internet there's nothing wrong. When you choose work it doesn't make some kind of internet connection so programs fall back to the gprs.

I'm having the same problems. I'm having a data subscription so don't want to disable it in total. What I tried was go to wifi settings --> network adapters. Selected internet from the drop down box on top (work was default for me). But Opera still connects through 3G or G. What settings did you change exactly Rik_X?

The settings that i changed is when you make a new wifi connection it asks if you want to connect as 'internet' or 'work'. You have to choose work.
With wifi networks allready configured you have to do the following:
Go to comm manager --> turn on WLAN and let it connect to the network --> then push settings --> Wireless LAN. Then go to Networkcards (in dutch its netwerkkaarten) (its under the SSID)
Then click on the connected network and change work into internet. Accept the setting and with a reconnect its works (for me)
Good luck

Connecting to ADSL Modem using WiFi

Hi,
I have ADSL modem, and I am trying to connect to the modem (via WiFi) and use internet on my HTC VIVA.
My internet connection requires authentication in order to connect. I can successfully connect to modem using Wifi connection. In order to connection to Internet, I added new VPN server from settings > Connections > Edit my VPN servers. I added all the credentials as provided by my ISP, however I am not able to connect to internet and access web pages from the Internet explorer of my device.
Please help me and let me know where I am going wrong?
Thanks,

You don't have to set your authentication data in your Viva.
All you need to do is connect to your ADSL modem using WiFi and start browsing the web. It should work correctly unless your ISP requires a proxy server.
Tell us what happens.

Hi GFX,
Thanks for replying. I connected to ADSL using WiFi, but when I open Internet explorer I get page not found.
When I was in US, I was able to access Internet as per your reply. But now I am in India and I am not able to access Internet.
Some of the differences that might help you or any other who would like to contribute
USA India
====== =======
ISP Comcast BSNL
Authentication WPA2-PSK Open
Data Encryption AES WEP
Thanks,

I'm not sure what's causing this.
Probably your ISP requires a proxy server. Can you connect to the internet using your PC??
The other thing is, your ISP has nothing to do with your ADSL modem authentication and data encryption modes! You can set these settings manually according to your personal needs. Read your ADSL modem user manual for more information.
A WPA2 authentication is recommended so you can protect your modem & internet connection from outsiders and hackers.
Check your ISP's website to see if they require a proxy server. And tell us about your ADSL modem brand and model so we can help you.

My ISP does not require proxy server, and I can connect to Internet using my PC. I am able to connect to my ADSL modem but somehow I am not able to connect to Internet.
Following are the details of my ADSL modem
Brand: Huawei
Model: WA1003A
Its an ADSL router.
Thanks,

OK, please check the following settings in your device:
1- Goto Start-> Settings -> Connections -> Connections-> Advanced tab-> tap on "Select Networks", and check that the first dropdown menu says "My ISP".
2- Goto Start-> Settings -> Connections -> Wi-Fi -> Network Adapters tab, and check that the first dropdown menu says "The Internet".
If you made any changes to the above settings, try to reconnect to the modem once again, it may work this time.
However, if you left the above settings unchanged then your problem lies somewhere else. Check if you can access the internet using Opera Mini, or try connecting to another router. Because we need to determine the source of the problem.
Good luck.

have you simply tried connecting via wifi with default settings?
when you switch on wifi, once the network is detected, you can feed in the values then right? sorry if this seems like a stupid answer but we often miss whats right under our noses,

Sorry for replying so late, was busy with lots of work for some time.
GFX: My connection settings are same as you mentioned. But even with these settings in place, no success.
karthiksk: I get connected to WiFi network, but after this I don't get any popup box in my device to enter the details.
Guys, however I got the solution, since my network uses PPoE, I had to configure these settings in my Modem. Earlier I was entering ISP credentials in an external PPPoE client on my PC, this way I can access Internet with only one PC at a time and WiFi was also not working.
I entered ISP credentials in my modem and configured PPoE settings. Now I can connect my PC (using Ethernet cable), my laptop using WiFi and my HTC device using WiFi at the same time.
Thank you all for helping me in trying to resolve this issue.

Good to see your problem solved.
Turns out it has nothing to do with your device!
Enjoy your Viva, it's a wonderful device.

This is a Windows Mobile and HTC VIVA forum, it is highly unlikely that you will get your solution here. and it is unsafe to post you mobile number.

I'm facing the same problem..it's not the ISP or modem..it's only & only viva...
It sucks badly...I purchased two different modem router..one of netgaer and other one of linksys...and the didn't work on both of them...wifi only works with the modem ZTE ZXDSL 531B
**** off viva...
