can anyone help please- data connections - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General

Hi
I’m having a problem with data connections and my network. In the top right hand corner on the home page, when the “G” box is displayed beside the signal bars everything is fine. However when the device detects another connection like 3G, H or E and is then displayed on the top corner instead of the “G” I cannot send/receive texts and it’s the same for phone calls. Is there a way to stop the device showing these as it is really annoying to only be able to send texts and make calls only when the “G square” is displayed. can i some how stop other data connections and just have the "G", as only when the “G” is displayed does my network work correctly. Has anyone else had this? And how can I fix the problem? Thanks in advance.

You might have tried this but disable GSM in the Comm Manager and see what happens. Might also make sure the HSDPA is disabled in the settings..
Are you using the stock ROM? what version?

Hi
Thanks for your reply. I think I may have solved it by using a new comm Manager with the option of turning 3G off, so far looks good. I will give it a few days testing and see. I will get back to you if any further problems exist, cheers.

Missing calls (jump direct to voicemail)

Hello,
I have a verry weird problem with my Tytn 2.
Most of the time when people try to call me, the phone doens't ring. the only thing i see is a small incomming call icon on top of the screen and the screen turns on. after that i get an sms message from my voicemail. (They get redirected to it)
Sometimes it just works well.
Dont know what is going on, but it is verry annoying. i miss a lot of calls every day.
Maybe anyone know the issue?
Btw on a sidenote, i check my Gmail every 5mins (1min disconect when idle) but it seems to consume a lot of data +- 15MB a day. Only email checking!!
Anyone who knows how that come?
Thanks!
r u on a 3G or 2G coverage?
If on 2G, some operators do not allow data and voice at the same time. So if you have your Internet connection on at almost all the times, your voice calls will automatically be switched to VMail.
But if you have a 3G connection. dunno.
as far as the net usage, do you download ALL the message? try loading only the headers? Do you also download the attachments? all these rack up.

Well i think i can select that at the menu 'Band' it is configured as 'Auto'
Can chose:
Type network: Auto, GSM or WCDMA
Select GSM/UMTS-band: GSM(900+1800)+UMTS(2100) or GSM(1900+850) or UMTS (2100+800)
i know my provider supports 3g
Or is that the wrong menu? and settings.
Thanks for the tip on the email. Attachments were already disabled. but i chosed to download all tekst and no images. But now i selected it to header only, will monitor how it goes.
Hm, maybe some more ppl with input?
i still think it has something to do with the internet connection that is active.
My Kasier switches between 2G and 3G depending on coverage. Based on the answer you already got above, this might explain the "random" nature of missed calls:
If your coverage at a point in time is 2G and an incoming call happens at the same time as a scheduled email download, the call gets redirected.
If your coverage is 3G, the call comes in normally.
I hate push email on my phone (it's a control thing) and pull email down when and if it suits me!
Hmm dunno if its a coverage problem i travel a lot, and today i missed 2 calls again. Damn its getitng annoying! maybe i need to try a hard reset?
Hm most pll say that the phone rings two times, and then switches to my voicemail. But i dont hear anything, only see a small phone icon in the top bar.
Rings twice and then voicemail is definetly you using data connection when someone calls.
I have had mine not ring and go to voice mail several times. Once when it happend, I called it myself, and watched teh phone, and I noticed that it thought I had on a BT headset. My BT was on on the phone, but I did not have a BT headset on. So, I think it was sending to BT, but there was not BT. I have started turning my BT off if I am in fact not using a BT headset or other BT device.

Grey edge icon

Hi, ocassionaly I can see that the Edge icon on my Diamond turns grey (it's shadowed) - never seen this state before, anyone know what it means?
I also have been getting that. I dont think it matters if it's EDGE, GPRS, 3G, or HSDA as I have been getting it with 3G after a soft rest
when I put a 3 SIM card in.. in place of the H icon I get an icon that looks like a mountain... triangle.. what's that mean? any ideas?

Triangle means roaming - so beware the costs!
When it's grey, means that it's not "Attached"...
Bye
I kept getting a "Grey" H icon and I actually found that I couldnt connect to the Internet. Also some of my texts wouldnt send and I couldnt make calls either (not sure if its related or not)
The only way I found to solve it was to switch HSDPA off, now I get the 3G symbol but its not "Grey" anymore and everythings working fine.
this is issue is also reffered as "black icons issue". have a search over this forum and you will find many reports of the same.
No, that's not true. This is completely different issue.
Also it's not true that the gray icon denotes unattached GPRS. For unattached GPRS, there is no extra icon, you just see the aerial icon instead of small letter inside the "signal strength" icon.
The grey state is weird, never experienced before on any device, and it's not explained anywhere so far.
I couldn't find it right now (though I'll still search it), but I've changed a setting yesterday and after this, the "grey" icons appeared. Untill then I had the "filled"/normal ones. That setting is for telling if the data connection is ALWAYS available or only BY REQUEST/ON DEMAND (from an application that needs it).
As soon as I'll find it again, I'll post it here.
i disabled the GPRS auto attach and the grey 3g icon started to appear...no longer the filled one...
I have the same problem since yesterday with edge on my workplace: big grey "E" icon, and it's impossible to connect to the net. But I have 2 or 3 network bars and a little "E" in the top left of them. At home I have HSDPA and no problem
i have a grey 3g icon... only came on after i disabled the GPRS auto attach function in advanced config...
I had disabled that function too. I've just re-enabled it and soft reset but I see no difference, it can't connect in edge

I had an isue a long time ago.
When I disabled/detached my GPRS, it was detached from my provider, ie it was detached on the mobile central.
Only way I could get it working again was to call my mobile provider to have them enable it again.
Yeah but it works on 3G and HSDPA, it's not the same parameters?

This is correct. Grey means Gprs/Edge/3G/Hspda is available, but not necessarily attached. When you connect (fire up a browser/mail/any other internet proggie) it will go black (and a lot bigger and uglier I might add). It's a bit confusing cos when you disconnect, it STAYS black, which is probably a bug.

Strange issue with data connection??

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
ANYONE? its driving me nuts!

Problem with data connection

Sorry if the answer to this is very simple but I have a strange problem with my diamond2 connecting to the internet via hsdpa.
I bought my the phone with an Orange sim card and everything works as it should, email, internet, everything.
I've tried my t-mobile web&walk sim which did seem to work ok, but now when I try to send / receive emails I get nothing. I have a H at the top, with a small h next to it with the signal indicator. I expect the signal indicator to change to the two horizontal arrows but nothing happens. At first I was getting a message that Windows live was unable to make a connction and to check my settings but now I get nothing.
Can anyone shed any light? Strangely, when I open the browser I can access the web no problem.

[Q] Note and Idea GPRS/3G Kerala India

Hi all,
Is there anyone here using a Galaxy Note with Idea in Kerala (specifically Trivandrum)?
I am having real trouble connecting to Idea's GPRS net, with the Note insisting that it cannot connect to the network (data only - voice works perfectly).
This happens with both the E (GPRS?) and H (3G?) data indicators. The arrows either remain dark, or the down arrow remains orange (up arrow green). Is this normal?
I have downloaded and installed all the configuration messages sent to me by Idea when I first inserted my SIM.
I currently have four listed access points:
idea_gprs
idea_internet
idea_mobile
idea_mms
No matter which one I select to use, the Note keeps insisting there is a network error.
So I cannot use Google Maps for driving directions, or even Voice Talk in driving mode, because I keep getting the message:
"Cannot connect to server. Please check your network settings and try again" in a dialog box on the Voice Talk screen which takes me to the network settings.
This is especially true in Voice Talk.
Please help.
I've faced this issue a few times on idea kerala network usually between 11 30 pm and 2 am. It's a network issue. you simply have to wait it out , in a few hours it will start working again.
I think idea's apn is "internet" not "idea_internet"... change the settings and try again...
have you tried it with other networks providers? check if 3g is working to make sure this issue is not phone specific.
Thing is, the connectivity has been spotty at best, but since the past couple of days, I have not been able to connect at all.

Samsung Voice Talk
Right.
As far as I can see, Samsung Voice Talk is the only app that regularly has trouble with Idea's GPRS/3G.
Generally service is so poor and connectivity so slow that I initially thought it was a device issue.
However, on further investigation, I find that Voice Talk, while it works perfectly on WiFi, will not do so on GPRS/3G.
Everything else connects with blazing slowness, thanks to Idea.
The one constant is that whenever I try to use Voice Talk under Idea, it immediately throws the error:
"Unable to connect to server. Please check your connection settings and try again."
This dialog box has a button to the connectivity settings menu.
However, no matter what connection I choose out of idea_gprs, idea_internet and idea_mobile, Voice Talk continues to throw the same error.
Any ideas?
I am thinking maybe delete and re-install all the Idea APN's.
Anything else I should/could try?
Thanks in advance for all your help.
