I think I must have changed a setting. My media net Edge connection stays on. If I restart the phone Edge (wap.cingular $20 plan)is not connected and no programs are loaded. If I check the weather (HTC Home screen) it connects using Edge. When I first got the Kaiser I thought it disconnect from Edge after the weather download. Now Edge stays connected. Any ideas what I might have changed. I have stopped all programs and it still stays on. I can stop it using comm manger Data Connection. (everything else works great, TomTom GPS, wifi etc.) Would prefer not to do hard reset since everthing else works. Waiting for ATT to turn on 3G in Denver in 4 days.

Has any one else with a Kaiser had problems with the wi-fi seeming sort of flakey?
Let me explain a bit....
I am sitting here at my lap top with a wi-fi connection that shows 4 bars and my kaiser seems to float in and out of wi-fi connectivity. If I look at wi-fi signal on the Kaiser ... Comm manager -> Settings -> Wireless LAN I get between 1 and 2 on the signal strength meter(stops just above the P on the 'Power Mode' tab).
I have the power tab settings set to best performance thinking that it boosts wi-fi amp gain or something but it doesn't seem to make any difference.
Today at work I sat immediately under a wi-fi antenna and while my lap top connected transparently with full bars my Kaiser while it could see the network could not connect.
On one or two occasions I have come back home and the kaiser would not connect at all. I shut it off and restarted and that at least got me connected...
Is this unusual? This is my first ppc and I am not sure how much I should expect.
Thanks.
my wifi works flawless at work and at home. havent tried on a public network yet.
Same here, mine works fine.
Starting today, my tilt seems to have a new problem. I can't find anyone else who has experienced this so...
I had downloaded the 10 button htc comm manager about a week ago. Everything was working fine until today: I tried to make a call with my 3G button on. Nothing. I'm showing two bars of 3G, but I'm not connected at all! Okay... so I try turning off my 3G button. Edge picks up and I'm back online. Fine. I turn 3G button back on, and edge APPEARS to connect (I get the E bars), but shortly switches to showing a few bars of 3G. Great! But I'm not connected again. It's SHOWING a 3G connection, but I'm totally offline. Can't make or receive calls. Can't get online.
I backed up before installing this comm manager, so it's not a big deal to go back, but what's going on here? It seems as though there must be some bad code with this new manager. Any ideas? If it helps, this is where I got the manager:

Oh, and I downloaded Windows Live Search last night, but other than that, I can't think of why this would be happening.
Update
This appears to only be happening in the neighborhood of my office in DUMBO Brooklyn, NY. I'm still really stumped.
OK, so finally, I decided to put on the HTC Home Customizer and Band Switch today.
I thought everything was good, but for some reason Direct Push, IE, and other things that use the data connection are no longer functioning. The connection icon shows I'm connected 3G, but when I click on it - it says no data sessions active. The wireless manager doesn't let me click the data session icon.
It seems I have to go into the Settings, into MEdia Net, and force it to connect there...
What on earth did I do to this thing or do I just not understand how Bandswitch should be operating?
BandSwitch from http://www.commmgrpro.com/ was working perfectly until I found out it was not freeware and started nagging me with registration. It had the option of Auto/3G/2G.
Tried Duttys 10 button comm manager but it only has 3G Auto/2G only. I need something that locks on and stays on 3g for my sling player and internet sharing with laptop. Schaps 6 button comm manager has the same problem.
Plz help.
Is your signal strong enough to constantly stay at 3G? I know when I'm in a 3G area, it will sometimes drop back down to EDGE if the signal isn't strong enough like from inside of a building.
usually software with the name pro isn't going to be free
My signal constantly fades in and out of 3G. With the utility, it usually stays locked on to 3G but occasionally looses signal once every 10-15 minutes for a few seconds.
look on how to enable band tab within phone settings to switch the frequencies between edge and 3G,using the HTC Commmgr can do the same thing with the 3G switch, if you lose signal its because of your locatiom, not the ability of the commmgr getting a lock
Hello i have this issue with data connection it seems to have started since using gremote, but that maybe nothing to do with it. when bluetooth is enabled i get a icon at the top of the screen with 2 arrows pointing left and right when i tap on this it says network card connected witht he options to go to comm manager it also shows orange mms (hsdpa) and i cant use any data services such as weather tab out brows the internet on ie or opera. is i close bluetooth this goes away and arrows turn in to a H and all data connections work fine.
what have i done wrong? i was also using the phone as a router but have removed that application to no affect as it was just a trial.
can anyone advise?
thanks
