I am running On Farias Rom. I noticed that before, when i pressed the "end" button, it would minimize the program. Now when i press the end button it disconnects me from my GPRS connection. Is there any way to stop this? With the older roms, i would only be disconnected from GPRS is i HELD the end button down for a couple of seconds. Now it disconnects me immediately after i press the end button. This poses some problem for my instant messaging programs which require an active connection. This problem is NOT solved by keeping the GPRS always on. All that setting does is reconnect me to the GPRS when i get disconnected (by pressing the end button). Is there any way to reverse this so that i only disconnect if i HOLD down the end button?
this is starting to make sense now. This is why i have to hit end twice to get back to the home screen. annoying...

I also have Faria's ROM and could not duplicate your issue. I am not saying you aren't experiencing it, just that whether I am at the today screen or in a program and I hit the "end" key (red phone icon, right?) it either takes me back to the today screen or if I am already there makes the phone beep at me.
When I held it for a few seconds it did terminate the GPRS connection, but then it kicked right back in again. I have registry wizard set to "always on GPRS"
Sorry I can't actually help...
But that's also another thing. I don't want it ALWAYS on. I need it on when i am using it. But when i am using it, i don't want it to disconnect GPRS when i press the end button. It should only disconnect from GPRS if i HOLD down the end button (yes, the red telephone key). Having my GPRS always on, and the window that keeps popping up to tell me that it is reconnecting after i ended a phone call or stopped the gprs connection gets rather annoying. Not to mention the gigantic battery drain it is to have the connection on 247
If you do not want to disconnect GPRS with the END (call) button, you can set the value of the following registry key to 1:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\ConnMgr\Providers\{7C4B7A38-5FF7-4bc1-80F6-5DA7870BB1AA}\Connections\(GPRS connection name)\AlwaysOn
Thanx a tonn man
Thanx for the registry key value... I am a noob, you actually saved me. I was just about to flash my current ROM just because the registry value is set to 0. & the gprs DISCONNECTS AFTER PRESSING red button. tHANX A LOT.
CHEERS...

I recently bought a bluetooth keyboard mainly to use while on wifi, but to my disappointed wifi dont seem to work with bluetooth on!
Another problem, my ppc keeps shutting down while i'm using my bt keyboard, tried few "keepalive" apps but it still shuts down, found only one way, thats adjusting the power settings not to shut down permanently, but this needs soft reset every time
Anyone with experience or suggestion on either the above?
Nevermind that, I found out that wifi needs adequate signal strength in order to function properly with bluetooth on.
About the power issue, the main problem was not knowing when the PPC will shut down, so i wrote a morscript to prompt a countdown when its about to shut down, and option to reset the idle timer.
Thanks all..
Hi everyone,
I used to have a Hermes. Back then I was able to disconnect the GPRS data connection by pressing + hold the disconnect button (the red phone button). However, after changed to Kasier, pressing + hold this button = lock the phone. I need to go to the Comm. Manager and choose flight mode and change back in order to make that connection to disconnect. Anyone knows other simple method to do so? Thanks a lot!
Regards,
rcyh
heh, there's also the data connection tab in the com manager? only have to push it once vs. twice for flight?
Oh yes. That's one method. But do you know that is there any hardware button I can press+hold instead of going into Comm.Mgr to achieve the same result? Thanks again!!
Hold the 'hangup' button (the red one).

If you do that the phone will lock itself it does not disconnect anymore

How about tapping on the G icon on the first line of the screen above and select Disconnect? ok, its not a hardware button, but its not complicated.
on the other hand, why would anyone want to disconnect gprs? its not like it costs money to just have the connection on while not transferring data, is it?
There is a discussion here, I've loaded a new com manager to be able to turn off 3G when not needed. I also am using AE Button Plus to map back keys to do things like disconnect GPRS, works great.

I think it's more about the battery not getting empty too quick
Try these method:

How to turn off GPRS/MMS completely?
Hi folks,
does somebody know how I can prevent my kaiser (t-mobile vario III) from powering on when the keyboard slides out? This happens a lot when it is in the pocket of my trousers....
thanks
Werner
... to use a case...
ok, but thats near removing the battery before putting it in the pocket...
first press and hold the hang-up button so that it locks. Then just push the power button once. This puts it in standby. Then just configure the standby timeout when not on external power, and you're set.
how is it about aktivating the lock function?

When I hold the hang-up button my phone doesn't lock.
Holding hang-up button ("red phone" key) does lock the unbranded, HTC Kaiser. Dunno about Tilt or other branded phone
the vpa device of kaiser with german rom doesnt have this problem i read in ppc-world forums. so its just a reg key or a cab installed at branding. so lets get a solution
Holding the red phone end key on the Tilt simply ends your data connection.

and on the HTC branded Kaiser, it locks the device and does NOT end the data connection .. so I tend to agree, there must be some registry setting to change this.
On the MDA Vario III holding the red button for a few secs ends the data connection, a few secs longer locks the device. best of both worlds I guess.
I've tried various ROMS, currently using the clean Tilt rom. After a hard reset I am able to turn on the WLAN and connect to my home network. After a while, I am no longer able to turn on the WLAN. If I tap the WLAN button in comm manager, I see the spinning beach ball for a few seconds, then nothing happens. The icon doesn't light up, it doesn't search for a network, no error is displayed, just nothing.
Has anyone seen this problem or have an idea of what else I can check?
Did you install any of the custom comm managers? It's pretty common that they break the WLAN enable/disable. I use the 10 button one but there is a reghack to fix it.
I just did another hard reset. Still using Helmi_Tilt_AKU.0.7.0.R1.BigStorage.exe ROM. After the initial startup and customization ran, I was able to turn on and connect the WLAN. After that, I did a power off. (Hold the power button 5 secs). When I turned the Tilt back on, I was no longer able to turn on the WLAN. I had not installed any software.
I'm reflashing with the original ATT rom. I'll report back after I've done the same test with that ROM.
I reflashed the original ATT rom. Same Issue. I think I just have a bad unit. If I power cycle. sometimes it works, sometime it doesn't. I haven't been able to get a consistent result.
Final result. It was a bad unit. I got a warranty replacement and it's working fine now.
I have done a search, and can't find anyone else with this problem. I am using Dutty's Diamond v1. If the backlight goes off, or if you hit the power button, the call gets put on hold. You have to hit the power button to activate the call again. I used to be able tp push the power button, and the backlight would go off. Now, if I hit the power button (on a call), the backlight switches off for a second, then comes back on with the call on hold.
I have tried hard resetting the device and even tried another rom. The problems persists. Any ideas?

Just curious if youve tried another rom as well as another radio.....
Funny you should ask.LOL. I thought it could have been the reason, so I loaded "L26KDTLB6" with radio 1.71.09.01. I even tried changing the spl, but it still does this.
I have the same problem. I don't suppose you found a solution?
