Data connection problem.

Hi all,
Here's a strange one for you, my data connection on my phone was working fine since I've got it (since launch) but all of a sudden, over the last few days, it now can't stay alive for over a couple of hours. To be more precise, it does stay connected, but looses the ability to do anything, for example, active sync sits there "waiting for network" and opera sits there "looking for host" and I can't view anything. It works fine before then, then just suddenly stops. Anyone got any suggestions on what this could be? It's really annoying because it means that my emails suddenly don't get sent through, and I never know when it's stopped working unless I manually check.
Regards,

I got the exact same problem, the only thing I didn't do so far is a hard reset...
The weird thing is that it DOES WORK for lets say the weather plugin in the today screen, but IE, opera, nothing else works

I'm having this same issue with panosha's v2 rom. Weather works ok, but nothing else. I really need it for activesync, and that just comes back and tells me I have permission issues, yet when I soft reset, it works just fine.

Sounds like activesync is the culprit here. Are you using activesync when the data quits working? cause i've had lots of issues with activesync screwing up my data connection.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=360268
that is my response to how i get activesync to work and keep my computer connection separate from my phone's connection. If the problem described isn't the exact same thing i'm guessing that it something similar. i would suspect that somehow the settings in your network selection drop downs have been changed.
hope this will help in some way.

Live Messenger Problem

I've been using Dutty's DualTouch Version 2 ROM for the pass month and have been very happy with it. Lately i'm facing a connection problem with the Live Messenger. After i click on sign in, it just remains busy and eventually after about 2 minutes, it says "There is a connectivity problem....". When i fire up Internet Explorer, it works fine and pretty fast to. I'm getting either the "3G" or "H" icon with full signal.
I've called and scream at my telco but am thinking that's it actually not the fault on their side. I've hard reset my device and still face this problem. The problem is....sometime i get to log on, sometimes i don't. Out of 10 tries, probably i get to log on once. I've also tried different timing of the day but still same problem
Anybody else facing this problem? Is this normal? I'm using Version 10.6.0033.0600 of the Windows Live. Hope to get some help. Thanx.

Just tried windows live on the Dutty v3 rom and it signs in ok here.
Does any other internet app have any problems??

Nup....all the other application like QuickGPS, I-Calc & IE works fine. That's why i'm still puzzled. Anybody else has any ideas? Any tweaks?

If you install something like vxutil, can you sucessfully ping messenger.hotmail.com ???
vxutil download - ftp://ftp.cam.com/cambridge/win/vxUtil.zip

I'm having the same issue with my HTC TYTN II, running Windows Live Messenger 10.6.0031.2600. Everything else works just fine, but when I try to logon to Messenger it says there's some connectivity problem. I seem to get it to work like one time out of 30 tries, but mostly I just give up.

WeatherPanel Updating has stopped working

I have been running weather panel for about a month now, and suddenly within the last week or so, the updates have stopped working. no changes in ROM or Radio, and the issue wasn't concurrent with any software changes.
It will update fine if the wifi is on and connected, but it will not update if I am using the phone data connection. Any ideas?
For now, I just connect wifi a few times durring the day and manually run the update, but I would love to get the "every 30 minutes" update working again without leaving the wifi connection up all the time.

if you didn't change anything than that is sort of weird how it just stopped working. For me it started happening when i was flashing different roms.
Nonetheless check out the link for my 4shared account in my sig and under the cab folder download the htc home proxy patch cab and see if that solves your problem as i makes it update fine for me.

What carrier are you on? I'm on ATT and I had to change from Media Net to MyISP or whatever under connection settings in order to get the weather update to work. This was after applying the WM 6.1 update. It may be that AT&T has started blocking that functionality via the Medianet proxy.

Info I should have posted but didn't:
AT&T
Tilt Running Dutty's build 19209 6.1 ROM
Radio 1.64.08.21
Using the My isp connection settings
Again, wifi works, radio data connection doesn't. When on WP's about screen, with wifi connects and auths, with regular data connection, connection is ok, auth fails.
On other thing that needs to be made clear - I'm talking about weatherpanel the app from marsware, not the weather tab in the HTC home plugin.

No problem, once I realized you were talking about the HTC Home weather tab, I saw that I had not made it clear. Unless you used weather panel and knew what it was, it was easy to misunderstand what I meant.

WP Auth
I take it that you are using an updated version with the authorization fix in it because it sounds like you know what you are talking about. But ur issue must be rom related as I am using a tilt with stock rom and my WP is updating itself every hour and establishing its own connection. im still old school with storyr's chameleon theme and still loving it.

I do not use My ISP but it works fine on MediaNet. I am using the WP_Trial08_Fixed and have installed the modified dll and Weatherpanel fix cab for the hourly temp updates. I update every 30 minutes without issues. Do you have the "Establish Connection" checked in the Connections? I have also noticed that some of the themes have a sort of delayed update. The data downloads but only after you have activated the phone do you see a refresh of the data after about 10 - 15 seconds.

I don't think its the ROM as I have been using this ROM for well over a month and the not updating issue just started last week. I may do a hard reset and reinstall and see if that gets it going again.

Yep, establish connection is checked. Its not a delay issue either, it works solidly on wifi, but with wifi off (using the phone data connection) it fails completely. Like I said above, I think I may hard reset and see if that fixes it. I was just looking to see if this had happened to anyone else and/or if it was a known issue with a simple fix.

Well, Hard reset didn't work, still wouldn't authenticate over the phone data connection. I finally got tired of messing with it, and just set it to authenticate itsself.
http://pixel.citadel.org/weatherpanel/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=337
This seems to have fixed the problem, I figure the battery drain for the http server is probably offset by the savings for not having to transmit the auth. I'll watch battery drain and system speed over the next few days.

Quick GPS Help

Hi,For some odd reason my quick GPS does not work anymore. My TomTom is non functional as well. I have checked my data connection and it is active. Can somebody help please.
Thanks in advance.

Mine has stopped working as well. It says its expired, and when I click to download, it says "Connection Failed. Please try again later". My connection is good, and I cant figure out what is wrong. My GPS will not pick up any signal, and nothing that uses GPS works now.

Can somebody please assist?
Thnaks

Hi, can somebody please advise on how to get GPS working again.
Thanks

Thanks

Quick GPS not updating/downloading
I'm having the same problem, last time I downloaded the Quick GPS update was 1/20/09, now it will not update, and I cannot get a GPS fix in google Maps, however using the program GPS Test, it does register the GPS Satelites. Please help. (Yes, I have looked in probably 20 other threads, for my phone Raphael/Fuze and others, and was not able to find a solution)

Indeed there are alot of threads, without any solutions.
Although i have applied all solutions because i had this problem twice.
(Without anything that i had applied before it occured.)

I tried downloading the GPS data through QuickGPS last night, and I can confirm that it does not work. I got the same error: "Connection Failed. Please try again later." I had it synced through Activesync. Not sure what's going on. Hopefully, someone can throw some light on this.

Quick GPS works so me. I just downloaded 5 minutes ago.

still nothing for me, says Connecting... and then i get connection failed, everything else on the phone works fine, internet, weather updates etc.

Here's what I can offer you
Had the same problem once when I was testing roms. Soft reset and once phone comes up wait about 2 minutes for the phone to get its balls and recieve all of its texts and emails and what ever it has to do. Then open internet explorer. Leave it open and try quick gps. If this does not work hard reset. I noticed that if I just tried to access quick gps my network status bars would only show phone connection not data, but If I waited and ran internet browser first it would trick it into working. Once I flashed a different rom problem dissappeared.

I had the same problem, it took me a solid day to figure it out. QuickGPS would never connect no matter the circumstances and TT7 and other apps would say the GPS device was not found.
I figured out that I had installed a VoIP application that had somehow completely turned the GPS off. After going through many posts about it on the forums, looking for files that weren't there, etc. I had to hard-reset the device to get GPS back.
For what it's worth.

Found the solution for ATT Fuze user
First, check if you have a internet connection using IE (important to use IE, Opera connects doesn't mean IE can connect)
If you cannot connect (and you are a Fuze user), run "Disable Proxy", and soft reset.
Now you should have a connection using IE, and you can update QuickGPS or SeaSGee.

so heres my update,I was unable to do anything with "Disable proxy" because like everything else you do a search and get so many posts you can never find anything. But that led me to believe there may be a problem with my connections and their settings as I learned that I was unable to connect to the internet on IE but was able to in Opera. So I went into - All settings, Connections, advanced tab, select network button and there are two dropdowns there, one about connecting to the internet and one about connecting to private networks so on the first one i selected AT&T ISP (which was already selected) and for the second one I changed it fromo AT&T ISP to "My Work Network", and that let me connect to the net on IE and download the Quick GPS updates when I am on WI-FI only, but not when connected soely to AT&T GPRS.
The AT&T ISP setting does not have any Proxy settings selected, is it supposed to?
and the My Work network also does not have any Proxy Settings.
I'd like for this phone to work right, seamlessly, like umm the iphone which I'm thinking I should have got even though I am NOT a fan of Apple and their software(it always seems to work right for the most part though).

i have the same problem. my gps has completly stopped working. my quickgps updates fine though. when i use garmin, it won't find a signal. it just sits there

i changed my baud rate from 4800 to 9600 to get mine working recently, I may have inadvertently changed it to 4800 2 weeks ago when I was trying to fix the GPS problems after looking through like 50 threads on here.

also check to make sure in Settings > Phone > Local Setting > Get Settings that the location is set to LOCATION ON.

I have Navngo Igo8 on my fuze and it kept loosing the signal. I read on one of the gps forums (gpsunderground)that I needed to turn off the Agps on the device and that did it. My quick GPS also works well. I download updates every few days. Not sure exactly what that does but I read that it downloads latest GPS data.

Diamond 2 opera problem and questions

I received my diamond 2 on Saturday (yay) and couldn't wait to start playing with it. However it does have one major problem straight out of the box and i wonder if anyone else has experienced it.
The opera browser is very unstable. It triggers a general exception error from Windows and either constantly asks to send error reports (duely turned off!) or just shuts itself down. Anyone else experienced or found a fix?
Secondly the browser keeps trying to render in mobile mode unless i select the link to go to HTML, how do i turn that off cos the screen renders full screen beautifully.
A few other annoyances, The data connection only seems to work on HSDPA and not GPRS, this is a potential big problem.
The youtube client only works with a wifi connection, what!! HSDPA is easily fast enough to stream, is this specific to my device.
Anny assistance would be appreciated as i would like to know if these problems are specific to my device or just general annoyances.
Cheers.

I don't recognize your problems at all. Opera hasn't crashed one single time on me since I got the D2 last friday. It works very fast and stable, better than any Opera cab I installed on my old Cruise. Full screen (not mobile view) works excellent and is always default in my Opera.
I haven't deliberately used the data connection over GPRS yet, but I have seen the G symbol instead of the 3G or H symbol, when being in some areas. So at least it does see the GPRS network correctly. I have no reason to assume it wouldn't work there.
The youtube application works great too. Completely stable and fast, again not like any Youtube cab I tried on my old Polaris before. And I just tested, it works through wifi and 3g.
I'm sorry for your problems. I am really surprised on how great my Diamond2 is. I think they really hit the nail on the head this time. I don't know how to solve your problems, but if this behaviour happens even directly after you hard reset the device, I guess your only option is to send it back.

haven't had any of that really myself and i actually tried to 'overload' opera. I run it fullscreen an all.
have you tried the general discussion forums? If it's opera itself, you'll maybe find something there.
youtube is a bit sluggish at times in 'hq mode' but fine otherwise for me
why is hsdpa over gprs a problem? Both are for data, just hsdpa is quite a bit faster even when taking the fastest gprs vs. the slowest hsdpa data rate.
unless networkcoverage is an issue in your case i wouldn't personally pick 2G over 3G..
maybe you're simply the unlucky one, harsh as it may be.. have you tried HTC customer helpdesk?

I haven't had those problems with opera, haven't seen it crash once yet. Have you tried a hard or soft reset?
I do notice opera on the Diamond 2 is terribly laggy compared to opera mini on my old mobile. Tried skyfire and it's worse, iris about the same.
I found the youtube app works great over HSDPA (and wifi), now this version I do prefer and can't find any faults with it.

my opera crashes if a proxy is enabled on connection settings.

did not have any crashes as i do not use the internet
but when using quickmenu it always shows the opera runing.
you cannot stop it weird

Push internet maybe? (just guessing)

cheers for the replies. I've actually hard reset the device aswell as soft resets. however opera still remained unstable. the problem seems to be with windows though as the error message was from windows and an install of opera 9.5 beta 2 caused the same problem. seems ok now though so will have to to monitor it.
i have to say youtube is a concern as it won't connect unless on wifi.
may take some getting used to or may need sending back, either way i think the software is at fault though, i think the device itself is top notch.

I say it's ok and 30 seconds later opera crashes. dame windows and it's nuances!!

I've experienced some strange behaviour of windows and some programs on my old Cruise some time. Frequent crashes, windows errors and other annoyances, like frequently loosing activesync connection and not seeing the sd-card. In the end, it was caused by a faulty board inside the device. After replacement of the board all problems where gone. I had spent hours trying other ROM's and hard resetting before that.
What I'm trying to say is, that sometimes hardware faults are just causing minor problems, while the device works well most of the time. Then you're eager to think it's a software or ROM problem, but it ain't always. If I were you, I'd send it back. I do understand that's not something you'd really like to do when it just arrived

Tried the proxy thing?

As Trinode says you really do want to turn off the proxy setting within the connections page of WM itself. T-Mobile, for example, always adds the useless proxy setting which will almost certainly crash Opera when you look at Gmail.
Why oh why does the connection wizard still insist on adding a proxy when you clearly don't need it?

Thanks for all the replies, this forum really is bloody usefull!
I have tried the proxy thing, and was waiting to respond to test but incredibly this seems to have done the trick! Opera hasn't died since i removed the proxy. Thanks trinode.
I'm with you wibberly, can't see why on earth they need this proxy setting in there, my data connection is far more stable and opera now seems to work fine. Weird!
One thing though is that the youtube app stil doesn't register a network connection through the phone signal, WIFI only. Wonder if this is a T-Mobile data restriction? The fine print from them does say that you shouldn't stream videos. Didn't affect my last contract though. That said i can't say i'm too bothered so long as the device itself is happy.

Maybe you can try it with someone elses SIM?
Damn proxies indeed. They always block all my e-mail connections. Turning it off is the first thing I do.

I too had the opera crash problem, but after ttrying to get hotmail to work in TouchFlo natively by turning off the Proxy settings, I've killed two birds with one stone... Stable Opera + Hotmail in TF3D! Wohoo.
Now, who can help with my next query?
I've tried to set the max number of tabs to 6, (as I that's the way I had it set up on my old D1,) under opera:config, and change the user id to sgh-i900 so I can get BBC iPlayer, but doesn't matter how many times I do this, (and press save settings, just incase you ask,) every time I launch Opera, it reverts back to it's default settings, so I'm stuck with 2 crappy tabs and no BBC iPlayer!!!!!!
Any ideas?

Is it possible to change the default Internet Browser to IE from Opera when you press "Launch Browser"?

Well, this didn't sort the problem for me. I don't use a proxy. I get the error when rss heb notify is on and it notifies for new updates. Wether I press OK or cancel there it gives the shell32.exe error.

Just to reiterate the above. I received my TD2 today on T-Mobile from mobilephonesdirect.com and Opera was a crashfest until I removed the proxy setting. IT IS A MUST DO SETTING CHANGE!
