I've got this problem among several ROM's and Radio's that I get from time to time. I'd like to know how to fix it. Then once in a while I'll flash a new ROM/Radio combo and it works fine. Here's the story:
I can open up and browse the net fine with Pocket IE. It shows connected as MediaNET (HSDPA). Internet is fast and reliable.
However, with just about any other application it fails. E-Mail, QUICKGPS UPDATE, etc. I have the [H] icon.
Here's what happens if I open up "QuickGPS" and click download:
I get the [3G] icon.
* Click download
* Bubble that says: Connecting to My ISP, GPRS.... opens.
* Bubble above disappears. Bubble re-appears with identical info.
* Bubble says:
Dialed:
Could not connect for an unknown reason. To check your connection settings and change tem if needed, tap settings. If the problem continues, reset your device according to the manufacturers documentation and try again.
I've done the following to troubleshoot:
* Ensured GPRS auth is set to CHAP.
* Under connections setting my only connection is Media NET. It is a:
** Cellular Line (GPRS, 3G)
** Access point name: wap.cingular
** Username: [email protected]
** Password: is unknown. Censored. Probably CINGULAR1
I have tried adding a new cingular connection.
* Without a user/pass/domain.
It simply says Connecting to My ISP, GPRS.... but nothing happens. TCP requests seem to time out.
Any ideas? I'd much rather connect with HSDPA instead of GPRS anyways if it's possible.
I'm thinking it's a ROM/RADIO mismatch.
I flashed back to a ATT ROM with an included radio, and it works fine.
I was having problems with L26 ROM. Anyone have a link to a suggested radio for US with this ROM?
Here's a ROM with problems:
l26 rom
WWE 3.02.405.0
RADIO 1.64.06.04
Any ideas?
HSDPA troubles in San Francisco
I'm using an AT&T Tilt in San Francisco. Is there anyone else here in my neck of the woods who's getting HSDPA?
Read on!

I can confirm similar difficulties with many ROM/Radio combinations. One difference for me, though: it's VERY rare for me to get the HSDPA icon anymore. I can get EDGE via most radios, but establishing a GPRS connection in general is also difficult. Often I'll get data working, only to find that the phone connection no longer works!
I've tried using PAP and CHAP, many different radios, many different ROMs, isp.cingular, wap.cingular, entering settings as MEdia Net, entering them as My ISP. Turning proxies on and off has no effect.
There was a ROM I used here ages ago (seems that way, anyway) that gave me excellent HSDPA coverage. I'm still trying to find it in the forums so I can flash back to it.

If so, please post your settings! wap? isp? chap? pap? radio version? ROM version?
Thank you!
If you first connect with IE and then with IE still open attempt a quickgps update will it work then?

Yes: When it does work, the EDGE connection I establish will work with any app. However, it may take a while for any signal to be found. Should I be limiting my BAND settings, or allowing it to run on Auto/Auto?

I should add that I've now tried:
Ruu_Signed_Duttys_WM6.1_5.2.19700_Hybrid_V2_1_65.14.06_CubeV2_
Ruu_Signed_Duttys_WM6.1_5.2.19700_Hybrid_V2_1_65.14.06_No_CubeV2_
Using radio 1.65.14.06 here in San Francisco I get only EDGE, with a little triangle that I assume indicates that it's roaming. Roaming here, where I used to get very fast HSDPA? What on earth is wrong with my poor Tilt?
Ditto for 1.64.08.21 with Dutty's ROM above. Though with that radio I used to get better performance (i.e. no roaming) from another ROM.
Side question: I continue to see TNT's logo when I restart my Tilt, despite re-flashing both the radio and the ROM several times. The radio version changes, but the TNT logo sticks around. I've also done a hard reset after flashing these ROMs. Any help?
Just a silly idea...
I had the same problem. The login (username and password) was wrong. in fact, the password from the modem account...

Not a bad idea at all. However, I've tried lots of combinations and I don't think the password is the issue.
I found the ROM I used a while back that used to give me lightning-quick connections: XDA Live 1.2. I re-flashed to that one (along with the 1.27.14.09 radio it came with). It immediately gets full bars of 3G (the "H" icon is still disabled in the registry, I believe), but I'm unable to (1) get anything other than EDGE to connect to GPRS and (2) unable to place/receive any calls while it's on 3G mode. If the signal gets weak enough to drop to E, I can make/receive calls.
This is worrisome because that ROM/Radio combination used to work great for me. Is it possible that something on my account was altered at some point, preventing me from accessing proper 3G? Even if that were the case, why would that prevent my voice calls from going through?

Interestingly enough, AT&T's support site recommends using NO username/password, and enabling IP Header Compression.
When I try this, it works on some occasions, but most often I get:
Dialed: wap.cingular
The answering modem has disconnected.
I too am having a similar problem. I updated to Dutty's and Laurentius's new roms and have been having the same problems.
under connection settings for selected networks chane from my isp to media net.
also some roms don't have att connection settings built in so u might have to install them using a cab.
So I connect to internet on PC via Kaisers USB which connects to HSDPa.
Problem is that HSDPa connection disconnects aprox. every 8-10mins.
I dont know why, on my Wizard everything works fine.
Where is the problem?
Thanks.
BUMP
So, im using kaisers internet connection on mine PC (internet sharing,usb) and every 10minutes connection drops.
Where is the problem?
Thanks.
Please provide some additional information. Such as: Carrier, ROM version, and Radio version.
I frequently tether for several hours at a time and do not have an issue with disconnects, so there is probably a settings issue that will not come to life until we know a little more about your situation.

Carrier name is "VIP" , location: Europe(Croatia)
ROM: WM 6.1(nothrills)
r 1.65.14.06
g 25.81.40.02H
d 3.14.00.00
I had the same network setup on HTC Wizard and everything worked just fine...
Have you tried any other ROMs or radios? I was able to tether using the NoThrills ROM back when I was running it.
You can also try reflashing the same ROM and radio again in order to eliminate any possible problems stemming from a "bad flash".
Do you have the kaiser tweak installed?
No i didnt try any other ROM or radio..
Everything works fine on that ROM and radio ,only internet sharing is a problem..
And yes i have installed KaiserTweak.
Do you have it set to disconnect your internet?
No i didnt set to automatic dissconnection...
Maybe try another tilt or reset the phone????
huh...i've finally setup everything on this ROM and everything works very nice...so i dont want to flash another ROM (of course if this is only solution, i will..)
strange how nobody had this problem..
NoThrills is a WM6.1 ROM, and your phone would have shipped with a 6.0 based ROM since 6.1 isn't out yet. Did you have this problem prior to flashing to NoThrills?
Well i didnt try on 6.0 original rom...
I've flashed it same day i've got it..
Think i will flash some other ROM..
Any suggestions?
Thanks.
When you say that HSDPA disconnects are you sure it's disconnecting or just downgrading to idle. On my Kaiser I see that when the connection needs to pull data from the net, the icon changes to H (HSDPA) and when idle it changes to just 3G but remains connected. I can see that it remains connected because the signal icon has the 3G logo on top of it.
Cheers!

I noticed too that when connection is idle stands 3G icon and when downloading there is H.
But yes, it just disconnects..
When I'm using connection on Kaiser(not internet sharing), it doesn't disconnects..
Hello,
i have a strange prob. on my o2 xda Diamond...(on o2-de)
When i start a Data 3G Data Session the Diamond will switch to HSDPA when Data is transfered..... works gerat.... but when the Data transfer is Idle the Diamond switches Back to 3G (this is how it should be....configured by the Network Operator) BUT then when Data is transferred again the Diamond switches to HSDPA for a short while and nothing happens.... the connection seems stuck.....
Somtimes the Data begins to flow after some Minutes, sometimes I have to dis/reconnect manually.
After a manual reconnect the Connection works immideately....but then.... the Problem appears again..
Is there anyone who encountered the same Prob?
P.S.: Yes, i did a HardReset and triple checked all Connection entries...
Same for me on the o2 branded original german rom. But now I'm flashing the DiamondProjectTeam-ROM.
Maybe the bug were fixed in the course of time.
Phew.... so I´m not alone with this Problem...
Im not quite shure if this problem was there a week ago.....
Even if i Update the Wheather Widget two times in a short interval (after fallback to 3G) the connection is stuck....
As far as I remeber this wasn´t the case a week ago after i got the Diamond.
Pleas Report if the cooked ROM behaves different...
Regards, Jan
Yes jkb770 ...
let me set up the settings on the new ROM. After that I will edit this post and report ...
.Edit.
Hey guys, sry for the delay ... But I was very busy.
After flashing to DiamProj V1 I determined no difference
But I was very surprised when I surf with PIE. There was no problem to be idle for a while. PIE connected immediately to the requested page; without reconnecting. Maybe is a opera problem? I tried it with the newest version of opera (9.5.1522), no success.
Great!
Thanks in advance...
...im just installing the unsingned HARDSPL......
German
Hmmmm it seems to be no WWE ROM
No German UI
And i still have the HSDPA Idle Prob...
..Nah.... worth a try
As far as I know this is normal behavior. If there is no data transfered the "3G" symbol is shown as indicator and as soon as there is data transfer the "H" symbol will be displayed in case HSDPA is available.
I can remember I also read this somewhere in the manual of my TyTN.
This is also no disadvantage because transferring no data with HSDPA or UMTS will take exactly the same time.
Read...
The Problem is that after the idle (fallback to 3G) the Connection freezes....
Means..... after every fallback from HS to 3G no Data will ever flow until disconnect...
Sorry, I missed that part somehow
My E90 use to do same thing aswell. Am on 3 network in UK.
I think its network deponded, not some think to do with handset.
Edit on post #4: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2398651&postcount=4
exactly same problem here, connection freezes after few minutes, works absolutely fine after reconnecting. Has anyone found a solution for this problem yet?
HTC Diamond with Duttys ROM v1.8, radio 1.00.25.07; and I am on O2 network in UK
Oh and one more thing. I don't encounter this on my Stellar (Kaiser) with exactly same network settings. I will try different SPL today. Will update after.
Regards,
did you guys try do install the new O² HTC Rom Update? 1.93 is the version, maybe it will fix that issue you guys have.
i barely use my diamond for surfing over hdspa - only wifi - so i can't tell about this problem.
btw hello, i'm the new guy
Hello to the new guy.
Now I have changed the Hard SPL 1.24, different radio as well and the problem still exists!
When disabled HSDPA and working only on 3G everything is perfect. Is it only problem with O2 network or has anyone experienced it with any other networks? (but then again, if it was a network problem Kaiser would have the same problem but it DOESN'T) I don't know what to do next...
At least it seems it's not just me experiencing this problem!
My connection also gets stuck when switching back to HSDPA (not always though) and this seems to be causing issues when I connect to my office VPN aswell (when i try to complete data intensive tasks).
I'm 99% sure it's caused by the phone and not the network operator since I've used an older model HTC with my current SIM (Vodacom) and I don't experience this at all then. But when I put a different operator SIM (MTN) in my Diamond I also get this problem.
Anyone figure out what it could be yet?
so looks like it's the phone's fault...
hehe... am not alone in this...i think its network dependent.. ve
tried several hsdpa device, usb modem.. same ...
There should be a kind of solution maybe a software that will keep injecting data requests at intervals to keep hsdpa from falling back to 3G..
bR
My problem is definatly not network related. I've tried with another HTC Touch Diamond (on another network) and I've got the same issues connecting the VPN.
It really seems as if the phone has a problem dealing with large chunks of data (or a certain type of data).
Don't know if this makes sense but that's just my experience with it sofar...
so is there any solution for our problem?
This is driving me crazy
I have the same problem as you guys on my X1. I've tried almost everything and nothing works. Has anyone found a solution to this?
After update to WM6.1 wifi not working anymore...
Any idea?
any information as to hows and why its not working? wont turn on, wont connect etc
I make upgrade from HTC site , it's official upgrade
When I turn on wifi , I see connection in progress , wifi not available
Can't detect any wlan , but wifi is turned on..
Thats strange in that I have the HTC WM 6.1 official ROM (and included radio - very important as the radio has to be compatible) on my TyTN II and Wifi works fine. Have you checked that the other wireless networks you say aren't showing up are still switched on? Did you perform a hard reset after flashing the new ROM? Try altering the Wifi battery/performance slider to give better performance if the Wlans you used to see are of weak signal strength.
After you get the Wlans to show up, you'll need to go through the process of entering the required passwords again as the ROM update removes all your original configuration settings/entries.
With HARD RESET now working ok!
Wifi works perfectly, but mobile internet has been very sketchy and now does not seem to connect at all, even after disabling wifi and changing the settings. I get both the "H" and "G" symbols, but the arrows below them show that no data is being sent or received. I notice there is a thread on here regarding the same issue on Virtuos Unity, and radios are mentioned quite a bit, but I have a GB 2.3 radio and am not radio S OFF, so not confident about flashing a new radio. Also, it has worked in the past and only stopped working in the last few days. Any ideas? Is it the radio?
Thanks.
