Need help with my Gprs not connecting

i new to this whole pocket pc thing, and i found this site and started upgrading my t-mobile mda. first i upgraded the rom to the k-jam upgrade and everything worked fine. then i started messing with the registry with registry wizard. that was fine also. but as soon as i hit the edge icon tweak, i can no longer connect to gprs. i get a msg saying
"Cannot connect. make sure your phone is turned on, or tap settings to check your connection settings. "
can anyone help me. i didnt alter the settings from when it was working so im unsure of what the problem is. any help is greatly appreciated

sounds like ou ahve been doing a fair amount of tweaking. Even in the registry. Are you sure it was the Edge icon tweak that did it as my Cingular 8125 is running 2.16.9.1WWE and I have made that change and mine works fine. My wonder is if one of the previous changes didn't take affect until a reload or a new program load, and that is what actually caused the problem. I loaded some cingular cabs yesterday and it broke activesync.

yah i know. but even after i restored my original registry settings i still cannot connect. when i try to connect, the window that shows gprs is trying to connect flashes 2x then it reads the msg i posted. any ideas

none here... I hope someone else can help, or you can hard reset and try to do the changes slowly soft reset a couple of times after each change until you figure out which one cased it. Each change including installed programs.
Sorry

mine does the same thing and I have been able to get it to connect without reset. Tap your signal bar on screen and turn on flight mode than turn off it will reset connections. It happens after every sync or charge for me and once we are able to unlock the cid and install the cing ext rom it might go away.

i actually just got rid of the program and it works now

Need help getting default comm manager back

I have had problem after problem with the various comm managers out there. From blue tooth issues to inoperability of WLAN. As of now I have uninstalled the add-ons but the comm manager is void of icons and probably is not working. WLAN is not connecting at all. It seems that something remaining from the add-on is keeping it from enabling since I did a hard boot and so it connect for about 3 seconds. How do I get the default ATT comm back?
Thanks,
Dan

If you have a handy backup, it's your life saver. Otherwise, hard reset will bring back the default Comm Manager. FYI, here is a 10 buttons that works on Tilt http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1430168&postcount=3. you dl the last one "For 10 Button CommManager with 3G Only and GPRS Only switch", unzip then install "for the others.."

I did a hard reset and it DID NOT bring back the comm. I stupidly had not been backing up.

I installed a 10 button comm newer than the link you gave and meant for the exact device I have, not a general one. And it was programmed by the same guy. I do not think installing that one will do the trick.

I make this CAB with default parameters of my black CommManager...
Test it and post the results if you want. I have used in the past in my TyTN II to revert to default CommMamanager after testing other CABs out there, and works fine for me.
Good luck.

Ok you rock. It looks like it worked. It doesn't look like the original Tilt comm but it appears to have the same finction and it accomplished my objective. The problem I was having was with the WLAN. I was able to load up some of the other comm's but I could not turn the WLAN on and off. It would stick one way or the other. After loading that cab I was finally able to switch it.
It all started while I was on the car trying to take a call through the blue tooth. The blue tooth rang but the phone is what picked up. After that the comm went mostly black. Uninstalled the comm and the default comm did not come back and some of the functions of the other comm seemed to remain in the registry.
I am still looking for a comm that has internet sharing as a button instead of wireless modem. I downloaded one that had it in the picture but when installed it actually had Modem instead.
Thanks

Yes, I had downloaded & installed "10Buttons for Hermes" and my wifi function button died, then I loaded the "Kaiser.CommManager.10Button.3GOnly.Switch.For.Other." wifi function comes back as the orginal. Now everything works as it should, plus I can turn on/off 3G to save the batt. BTW, my tilt runs on Helmi cooked ROM Big storage (based on att&t)
Just found another thread to fix WLAN button; post #23: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=332438&page=3
Good luck to you.

Loading that cab still disables my wifi. I guess I have to modify the reg directly. What is the best way to regedit? Is there a program already on the tilt?

Now when I load JCES's cab I lose the icons again. I am going to go ahead and do a restore. Something I should have done before I started all the cabs but I am an idiot. I did a restore after JCES cab fixed the problem.

Locking data to EDGE or GPRS only. NO 3G

Is it possible to lock out the 3G radio completely on the TILT?
Coming from an Apache on VZW, I was used to being able to change the ModeOfOperation Reg setting and completely locking out the EVDO if I needed to preserve my battery life.
I've tried a number of things on the TILT, but I am not sure which (if any) get me what I want.
I've tried the disableing MEdia Net via KaiserTweak, but when I was in a 3G area it prevented any data connection saying the connection was not allowed (or something similar).
Disabling HSDPA I don't believe is the key either since that is download only.
Again just looking to lock the phone at EDGE/GPRS only. E icon.
**Been Googling
Running the stock ATT ROM, I don't see a BAND page in Settings/Phone/... I've tried exposing it with Schaps Adv. Config Tool, but I still don't see it. I am guessing there is more to exposing this tab than just a reg.
Is BandSwitch the only way?

if u use the 10 button com manager with the 3g switch i would link it but not got time as im at work but search it will be easy to find

Ok I found the 10 button manager on the CABS sticky ...
file name: Kaiser.CommManager.10Button.3GCAB.cab
Are there any known bug/issues with it?
Any TILT issues with it?
I see a few people in an old thread talking about "getting it to work"
I also see Dutty's copy on his FTP site ... "duttythroy 3g comm manager (working).cab"
can anyone comment?

Hi, I use the 10 button com manager on my TyTNII (german stock HTC ROM) and it worked without any issues right after installation.
Greetz,
Hans Olo
EDIT: maybe a soft reset was needed after installation, I can't remember

Ditto - i use it - installed no probs and does what it says on the box so to speak. I have an orange version

try this:
at phone settings /band tab/ change the upper "Auto" to GSM.

This does not show up on my AT&T Stock Rom. Very strange. I do have the 10 button comm manager but it would be nice to do some troubleshooting using the stock WM screens/settings.

Read http://wiki.xda-developers.com/inde...(GPRS & EDGE) modes to optimize battery life!

I second that. I do not have this option on my Tilt with the stock rom. Anyone know what's up with that?

Well I used "duttythroy 3g comm manager (working).cab" from the cabs FTP site in the sticky here.
At first it told me the install was not successful because there was an issue with "system permissions". Thinking it was the the CAB itself I tried the other 10 button I found "Kaiser.CommManager.10Button.3GCAB.cab, but got the same.
I did a soft reset, then tried Dutty's again and it worked fine. It required another soft reset after install.
It replaces the stock comm manager with one that looks like it could be from a Touch (from the icons). Works fine and includes a 3G button that was lit. When I tapped the button the icon went dark, the radio looked like it did a little reset (since it went to no signal ... like flight mode) and 10-15 seconds later it came back up locked at EDGE.
Perfect! Thanks for the guidance getting there.
As for those of you with AT&T stock ROMS, AT&T probably had the BAND page removed/hidden in their version. Why? Who knows.

GPRS Disconnect Bubble Button

Hi all. In moving to the Tilt and Alex's great 1.62 AT&T Home ROM, I noticed I was missing a feature I loved on the Hermes, namely the GPRS Disconnect button. It took a while to find it, but I did. Unsure if it would work on my Tilt, I took a chance and installed it and lo and behold, it works like a charm and is properly formatted as well. So I am posting the cab here in case anyone else wants to use it.
I would also love to see the WiFi disconnect bubble button, but from my reading it appears to be a bit more complicated than the GPRS, so I left that one alone.
This is a VERY small contribution as thanks for all the help, info and overall great stuff this site and the great chefs on this site provide. Thank you all!

Could you post a screenshot?

Here you go.

its weird... but it seems i already have that... and doesn't pressing the red button end your GPRS anyway? I want to disable that but I don't know how.

You can disable the bubble this way:
Start->Settings->Sounds & Notifications->Notifications...
from the Event list, select "Connection established", remove the checkmark from the "Display message on screen".
Click OK button...
done.

Keeping the GPS running when the screen go black

Hi!
I'm using the GPS2Blue software to send my GPS signal over the Internet to my computer.
The problem is that when the sceen goes black the GPS is put in hibernation mode just like the rest of the phone. I don't want it.
There is a option in the software disabling the powermangemant. But I can't get it to work.
Please help me!
Pär

Try either Advanced Config or DIamond Tweak foudn on the forums, they will allow you to alter and save the power management features.
