Hi,
sorry for newbing out but i have a problem setting up a 3G connection to o2 payandgo. I've tried using settings from http://www.filesaveas.com/ but to no avail. I get a screen saying "cannot connect for unknown reason" but the connection status shows that a connection to "o2 active (GPRS,3G)" is running but the web browser, weather, youtube etc fails to work.
I have used this simcard before to connect to 3G using a nokia 5310.
any help is appreciated.

Hi all,
Got a stange issue. I have the MDAcIV (basically a diamond) on the UK T-Mobile contract.
I've setup my Gmail account to send/retrieve and over wifi it works perfectly, however if I disable my wifi connection, I expect the email to sync over GPRS, but I keep getting a sync error saying check your connections etc.
Anyway checked all my connections and it works fine over GPRS in browser, weather, and any other app requiring internet connection, just not email.
Gone through the email settings and under advanced server settings, under Network Connection it's set to "The Internet".
If I change this to "T-Mobile Internet", and then try to sync with wifi OFF, the GPRS kicks in and starts syncing.
I then stopped the GPRS connection, switched on wifi, and tried to sync again, but instead of using the connected wifi, it starts a GPRS connection.
Strange!
So in summary:
Network Connection: The Internet
WiFi OFF
GPRS ON
Sync fails over GPRS
Network Connection: T-Mobile Internet
WiFi ON
GPRS OFF
Syncs over GPRS instead of existing wifi connection
Anyone else have similar experience?
Thanks
I got a similar one:
I'm using Active Sync via HSDPA/GPRS to get my mails pushed (Exchange 2007 Server). Works like a charm and never have problems with it; used it for years with other WiMo devices.
Now, since I have my diamond (MDAc4 also) I can finally use WiFi, too. What I now experience is:
When I turn on Wifi, my cellular connection (HSDPA) stays active and when I turn it off manually via the comm manager it also turns off "PushMail" in comm manager. That basically sets active sync to "manual" instead of "when items arrive".
Though I am able to turn on push mail in comm manager again, as soon as an email arrives it starts to connect HSDPA again.
So basically I can not use wifi to save some MB of my data plan when I want to continue to get my emails. And this really sucks...
Only thing I can set up in the advanced connections in Active Sync is "Connection" where my only option is "Internet" -.- Meaning I can not differ between cellular and wifi. It kinda has to use the cellular connection...
long story short, dunno if that helps you with your problem now, sorry; but if anyone understands what I am talking about right here, maybe send me a pm or something, if you know how to fix that.

Definitely had this happen a fair few times, with the gprs failing to connect once or twice, and I've seen it on most of the roms.
I think WM doesn't set it's connection type correctly, so we don't get the seamless "use the best/cheapest/fastest connection available"
In fact, anyone know of any app that would just do that? As in try to connect to unsecured or secured wifi, followed by 3G/HSDPA, followed by GPRS?

I have exactly the same problem. If I want to get my e-mail the account setting has to be "T-Mobile Internet" unless I'm using wi-fi in which case I have to switch it to be "The Internet". Anyone know of a solution?
Is it possible that T-mobile are forcing you to use your Data connection rather than free Wifi ?
Hmmm nerf maybe?

Thanks for the reply. It could be but the phone doesn't even attempt to connect to mobile data it just pops up an error to say it can't connect with the existing data settings. Its not a T-mobile supplied handset although it did configure itself to use T-Mobile when I first put the SIM in.
Solution
After research and research I´ve finally found a solution. I´ll post some pictures of my settings so you can see yourself what you have to do.
The clou is to have only 1 connection for Wifi and GPRS/3G. WM now firstly checks if there is a Wifi connection and if not, it will connect to GPRS.
Got It
Just untick the box that says "This network uses a proxy server to connect to the internet" in the manage t-mobile Internet connections app.
Now works over Wifi if available, if not uses GPRS/3G
hello there,
When I try to run messenger with only the normal phone radio active G (not 3G) it doesnt work. When I plug in my USBcable, it also works. It also works over WLan. (wich I guess is WiFI)
Im on the Dutch 1.93 Rom. Msn Version: 10.6.0039.1300

still haven't figured it out..
i'm in the opposite boat... cant get it to work over wifi...
stupid thing... i can browse net using opera / IE but it tries to use GPRS when i have a good wifi connection!!!
Newer Windows Live always tries to connect using your default Internet Connection even when you are already online. To solve this, you need to go to:
Start->Settings->Connections->Advanced->Select Networks. Change everything to My Work Network.
With this, Windows Live won't try to connect when you have active internet connection. The problem now is, if you have no active internet connection, it will force your device to connect to your gprs/3g but will fail to work. You will need to reset the setting above to your gprs/3g connection.
Strange issue with my Tilt... when my apps try to connect to the internet using MEdiaNet they just close out... when I use them on a wifi connection they work with no issues.... Internet connection sharing also works fine when I tether to my laptop....
Currently using ROMeOS 3.5
Any ideas?
---UPDATE----------
After a hard reset this is the current status-
Apps are no longer closing out but some are getting a "cannot connect with current connection settings" message
PIE- connects with no issues
Google Maps- connects with no issues
Internet Connection Sharing- connects with no issues
Skyfire- Does not work... keeps on checking for flight mode
Email- Does not work- "cannot connect with current connection settings" message
is
settings->connections->connections->advanced->select network
set to my isp or whatever your device have named the gprs settings profile
if not change it so it is
Also if you have at&t go to start/settings/connections/connections. You should see MEdia Net with options underneath and My Work Network with options underneath it. Underneath MEdia Net, click the option set up my proxy server. Disable the option that says "This network uses a proxy server to connect to the internet." Hope this helps
I started having the same problem the other day. My pocket outlook will not connect using Media Net, I get the "Cannot connect with current settings" message. i didn't change anything before this started and I have tried all of the above suggestions. Does any one have any other suggestions? I will do a Hard reset only as a last resort. Thanx

hi
recently i bought hd7, but my gprs internet connection wont work sometimes, what should i do ?
i have tried different settings, but it didnt help. sometimes it connects , but most of the time it doesnt connect !
Did you turn on the roaming option under the celluar settings? It might be on the "Don't roam" option, so it actually stops the data connection once you enter a roaming area.
thnx it seems working now
