Hi
I did a google search and it seems that the remedy for the "device has malfunctioned" error is to uncheck the advanced network option in usb to pc setting but the rom that I have only flashes the screen with the option and then internet sharing pops up. If I close internet sharing the screen where I am suppose to uncheck advanced network disappears way too fast for input. Any advice? I cant state the rom name as I only have mobile internet at the moment the creator is Ab(forgot the rest)
Moved as not ROM Development.
You can activate the pop up without being connected via usbtopc.

Hi everyone,
I love my new MDA device, but there is one thing I miss about my old device. In addition to having a "connect GPRS" link in my WM2003 pocket pc phone (HP iPAQ h6315), there was also a link that said "Turn on Wi-Fi". Now on my current device (MDA), both links are missing when I click on the "G" (or "E") icon. It only says, "To connect to either the Internet or work, set up a new connection in Settings." ... as if I never set up ant connections in the first place.
I can do without the "Turn on Wi-Fi" link though, because I can turn that on by pressing the Comm Manager button, then turning on the Wi-Fi from that screen. I can't however, turn on GPRS using that screen. I have to go into Settings >> Connection >> Manage Existing Connections >> then tap-n-hold on the GPRS connection and tap "Connect".
If anyone knows of any registry tweaks to fix this, or at least a convenient workaround (like the ability to place a shortcut in the Start menu that accomplishes this, etc), that would be great!
I tried downloading RegistryWizard and playing with the GPRS-related settings there, but none of those helped.
My current device is: T-Mobile MDA (USA)
Current ROM: 2.24 custom ROM, found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=304927#304927
open the internet application(eg.PIE) directly and the GPRS will connect automatically .
to disconnect , simply press and hold down the on-hook key for more than 3 seconds.
Thanks, but I am already aware of that... also that I can use the e-mail to connect if I choose the Send/Receive option. But neither method is really that great if I want to make a GPRS connection for a program other than IE or e-mail.
Another method of connecting GPRS manually that would be nice, is in the Comm Manager. The Data Services button there is only enabled if the GPRS connection is already active, then pressing that link will end it. It would be great if that link was always enabled to allow you to connect/disconnect using only that link, much like the Wi-Fi link (also in Comm Manager) operates.
Anyone know how to do that? :wink:
Any have solution . Ihave similar problem like ingersoj.thx
nice query
I do miss that function from windows 2003se
Id love to have a connect gprs button in the same place as the disconnect button in the drop down and for the life of me I cant remember the reg change to accomplish it.
sign me in...
... i would also be interested in having this registry tweak.
i would also like this...
I want to be able to connect to the internet without opening up ie for programs like java gmail, and spb weather...
Sorry guys, but why do you disconnect in first place?
My GPRS connection is always on and I don't have that issue.
This is useful in cases that GPRS is charged. Has anyone found a solution?
Thanks
although you may pay for GPRS, when there are no apps using it, traffic will be 0 and therefor 0 cost. But, I guess battery life will be worse with GPRS on?? opinions?
I'm confused here, I have all kinds of apps which need to connect to internet. All are setup to do this if needed (and start GPRS). Don't know why I need GPRS running if I have no app who's using it.
Please enlighten me..
Hi, I couldn't find it with a brief search, so if it was allready discussed, please point me the right direction...
The problem is when you connect your Diamond to USB, you will get 3 options (ActiveSync, Disk Drive and Internet Sharing) but immediately after that the USB connection popup appears which I usualy don't carre, but if I want to swith to Disk Drive Mode I have to hide it with the "Hide" button and if I miss... simply it is useless
It only apperas if ActiveSync was the previous setting and that I use a lot... so is there a way to hide that popup forever ? so that it will connect in the background and never show up... then It would be much easier to choose from those three options without the popup in the way
Settings -> Connections -> USB to PC and uncheck Ask about connection type when I connect. BTW, I think this is a ROM specific problem. I'm using the stock ROM and never saw that dialog.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
But I want to be asked about connection type when I connect. I just want to get rid of the smaller USB connetion popup... And you're right, I didn't come up on the stock ROM
Go to Settings -> Connections -> USB to PC
Check "Enable advanced Network functionality"
I noticed that unchecking this option brings up this Popup...

if I check it, then my Windows Mobile Device Center can't connect with Diamond
The real problem
The real problem here is that the device starts to connect right away when you plug in the USB, regardless of whether you select an option or not. It does not wait for you. Although it displays the selection dialog, but before you can choose from the options it has already started connecting. This happens in the background in case of Mass Storage / Mode modes, but brings up the Connecting to host popup if you have previously used ActiveSync mode.
When you finally change to another mode in the selection dialog, you in fact change the connection of an already active ActiveSync / Mass Storage / Modem connection. Thus the device must STOP the current operation, switch to another mode and RESTART the usb connection again - which often fails. Replugging the device usually helps, but it makes the whole approach pointless.
The correct way of operation would be not to connect before you select how you want your device to be used. It should WAIT until you select one of the options and then CONNECT.
I don't know if there is a way around this I need this dialog but hate that the device connects before I click on one of the options. On Nokia phones nothing happens until you choose. That is the correct way of doing it, not a nice dialog that fails every second time.
Hello
I´ve searched the forum for similar problem but havent found anything.
I have installed RealVNC on my Diamond but it cannot connect, get error "Unable to resolve ip by name: (11001)".
But if i start YouTube application and lets it connect, exit youtube then starting RealVNC it works great.
Do i have to allow internet access or something?
Greatful for help /Stefan
it sounds like it could be.
When you start VNC without already being connected to the internet, do you see the arrows moving to show a connection being made?
if not, it seems the VNC application is not initiating a network connection. this would explain why it works after opening youtube.....
Is there any settings in the RealVNC application to specify a connection to use (not used it before, i tend to use logmein)?
If not, you could always go into the com manager and turn the data connection on, before using the program.
There is no options for connection in realvnc and in com manager the dataconnection is "greyed".
When i start youtube and then go to com manager the dataconnection is on, but if i turn it off i cant turn it back on again?
Thanks for helping
so it sounds like realVNC is not initiating the data connection when it is needed.
With the diamond, you should be able to manually connect using the comm manager. the fact that it is greyed out and not switchable is a little disturbing. It sounds almost as if you have the old comm manager where you can only disconnect.
Have you installed any comm managers or done any tweaks? or is it literally out of the box and you just installed VNC?
The phone was completley orignal when i tested.
Yesterday i installed "Ruu_Signed_Duttys_Diamond_5.2.20275_V1_8_Radio_1.00.25.07_Full" and the problem is the same apart from the dataconnection doesent turn of until i turn it off manually.
When its off it says "no data connection exist" in com manager.
There is probably a simple fix for this so I'm going to ask. When I have my phone connected to my computer via USB i am unable to surf the net on my phone or get weather updates...however...i can still recieve calls and get and send text messages. Is there a way to make it so that web browsing and weather tab updates are still functional while the phone is connected to the computer?
I've wondered this also. In addition I usually get a #777 error, complaining about the lack of a data connection.
Go to "mobile device settings" in your Windows Mobile Device Center and check the box that says "Allow data connections on device when connected to PC."
any idea how to do this on activesync? what you mentioned is for vista
oh im sorry i didnt realise you didnt have vista. I think there should be similar settings in the active sync. Probably in connection settings :/
Activesync>Connection Settings. Check "Allow wireless connection on device when connected to the desktop"
just got it.
you connect your diamond to pc with activesync, open connection setting and change the "this computer connect to" to "automatic".
and you need to tick the box "allow USB connection" as well.
For some reason I dont seem to be able to browse web via my mobile browser while device is connected to Activesync (USB cable)
I've checked Allow Wireless Connection and disabled high speed syncing in Conenctions USB>PC on my Xperia.
This affects email and internet data connections and apps. In internet explorer and IRIS I get a 403 error.
I have activesync as "Computer connects to Work Network"
When I disconnect from Activesync I can browse as normal.
Having gone through the usual suspects and done a search I can't seem to find anything that addresses this particular iteration of the 403 error so would gratefully accept any suggest
You don't need the "Allow Wireless Connection when connected to the desktop" ticked. (Unless you want to use WiFi on the X1 while plugged in via ActiveSync).
My ActiveSync "This computer connects to" is set to "The internet", not Work Internet.
Allow USB connections.
On the X1,
Got to Settings, Connections Tab, USB to PC.
Make sure ActiveSync (Sync with outlook) is selected, then make sure "Enable advanced network functionality" it ticked.
cheers for your reply Steve. (good collection of apps too)
These are all options I've tried already (think I've tried every combi) and I end up with the same result - as i get not data connection when i connect the USB. If I open IE or IRIS beforehand and then connect as soon as I browse a new page I get the 403.
I'm sure this didnt happen last time I tried to browse this way but have no idea what could have changed. I thought it could be a connection settings thing - IRIS has loads of options for connections and I've tried all of this, all unsuccessfully. IE doesn't appear to have any options.
Anyone know of any tweaks or reg fixes?
duplicate post
one other thing - if I go to conenction amanger and try to activate Data connection while conencted to activesync, I get sent to the Settings > Connections screen. Data connection will not activate.
I can't offer anymore help Don't know what's up with yours.
cheers anyway steve. gonna wager on a reinstall of activesync and also try on my home pc to see if this is any different.
I know GP can block using device as modem/internet sharing, but this would be different so who knows?
interestingly I've just discovered that I'm still receiving emails when this problem occurs. I wonder if something could be preventing http requests?
just to recap, this works when synced with my home PC, but when synced with my works PC I can't access http via 3g/hsdpa, nor through the PC. I can however receive emails.
As the attachment shows, the phone is connected to the HSDPA and Activesync via USB.
I've reinstalled Activesync on this PC, and experienced an intermittent connection following this - however following this short period of activity the connection halted again.
