i was in an area with no gprs today and my kaiser was constantly trying to connect, this went on unnoticed and when i looked at my gprs tracker is racked up 38mb in one hour, thank god i have a 1gb data plan. what's going on here why does it use data to connect? and is there any way to stop it from trying to repeadily connect like that? when i try to turn off the gprs connection with comm manager or gprs manager, windows will automatically try to reconnect over and over and over again.
Any chance you have ActiveSync running in the background when you check? I'm abroad at the moment and have the same problem, this is my no.1 culprit at the moment.
nope i have nothing running in the background. i don't understand how it's using data when it's not connected. i can't figure this out, i don;t even know where to begin.
sorry double post
I have the same issue! I have no data plan and my GPRS was connected for some 39 minutes the other day!!!
Anyone any ideas? Not sure if it's the MMS messaging that is causing it...?!?
figured it out, i just left the password section blank in the connection setting that was it always promts me to enter the password everytime the phone tries to reconnect
I just purchased and an HTC Hero off ebay.
First off i do not have it activated with sprint! All data services but WI-FI are off. I can browse the web.
I am trying to sing in to my Google account but it comes up with two different errors
1.Can't establish a reliable data connection to the server
This error come up the most 95% of the time
2. you do not have a network connection
it says im not connected to the net but when i hit wi-fi im connected to my router
dose the wi-fi chip time out or something when the screen turns off?
also Im just getting started with android so forgive if i make some mistakes.
also is there any way to force all data to be sent through wi-fi?
im assuming because its android i can just root it and put a file or something to only use wi-fi as its main source of data. My plan with this phone (because i cant afford a 70$ a month data plan) is to use it like an ipod touch
HTC Hero Info
Firmware version 2.1-update1
Software number 2.27.6516
not rooted
Figured it out!
Apparently its a glitch with Google, if you don't activate your account the first time you cant activate one at all. The solution is to hard reset the phone and if that dose not work. Google "android cannot maintain a reliable connection"
I have an HD7 and intermittently I will try and use my phone, I will have perfectly fine signal yet none of my apps email/youtube/facebook/internet explorer/bing search can connect to the web. Signal will be be fine yet they will pull no data.
If I restart the phone it will work again for a few hours and then randomly happen again. Personally I am getting just a little annoyed with having to constantly restart the phone 5-6 times a day. Is anyone else experiencing this problem?
Just so you guys know I am not trying to troll or dog the OS, merely wondering if I have a faulty unit or if this is an OS issue.

so sorry, but do u have data connection with your current sim/plan????
my last plan did not have data plan on it and the phone did not work until i sudscribed the data...
and u cant set up phone with out 3G data plan...
I faced the same trouble few days ago. I dont have Wifi, cannot download "connection setup", but i flash a Singtel Rom (My HD7 is T-mobile):
RUU_Schubert_hTC_Asia_SEA_WWE_1.57.728.02_Radio_5.52.09.16_22.33a.50.10_Signed
Then it work, data connection is fine.
For anyone who comes from an Android phone with data service, check with T-Mobile to see if the service is combined or separate. T-Mobile did have two separate data services, one for WinMo and another for Android, and they would not work with the other phone system. This is how it was with my service and T-Mobile combined them for me so that my data service now works with either system.

Yeah I have data on my plan. Data will work fine for hours but then I will put it down while doing something use it again and no data. If I reset it then it works again for a short while until it happens again.

3g data connection is spotty form time to time and place to place... my provider told me that it always depends on how many ppl are using that substation or whatever they call it....

Hi Jason,
Was it difficult to flash your T-Mobile (USA?) HTC HD7 with the above ROM? Did you gain anything else over the original T-Mobile Rom? I presume it will get rid of the T-Mobile splash screen! Cheers.
Running into the same problem as the OP with my Mrs. HD7. Took hers for the last little while and I can do a reset and access about 3 pages worth of info or updates and then it drops. Tried manual apn configuration, automatic and htc connection setup and no luck. This is at all times of the day in all locations so it is not network based or sim card based as I went to the t mobile store and stuck in the sim and was able to access the network with zero problems on all demo phones. Customer care finally agreed to a warranty replacement after some help from a store rep. They would not allow an in store exchange unfortunately.
What network are you with? I get data issues on giffgaff quite a lot. But a reset does nothing about it - it seems to be related to which cell tower I'm bouncing off and whether it feels like giving me data connection (even though signal strength is maxed out!).
I have this same problem, personally ive had it with my HD2. A quick fix for this is turning on and off airplane mode instead off turing off and on your device.
I have an HD7 and want to minimize my account data usage so I'm connected to Wifi when I'm at home. It was my understanding that when I'm connected to Wifi, all data goes through that, rather than my 3G service. However, when I check my data usage, I show some data being used during times that I know I was at home. Any ideas?
I can see some of the data and know that it is the Yahoo mail being pushed to the phone since that is 2 hours apart. And I know that the phone disconnects from Wifi when the screen turns off, so I understand the data being used there. But there is some data being used (>1mb) when I know I'm at home and awake and obviously doing something on the phone.
This is a very good question and one that I would like to see answered as well!

I used simple mobile in the US which is tmobile mvno, you dont even need to unlock your phone. It was $60 a month unlimited everything no contract so I never worried about that. If your bill is killing you use that.
Hello,
I've had my Desire C for about a year now, but have only recently added a data feature to my (prepaid) plan. Up to this point I've only been able to afford a call/text plan. Anyways, I can now connect no-problem to the WiFi in our apt. I can check my email with the gmail app that was already on the phone. But if I attempt to browse the internet it will work for a minute or two before it hits a roadblock and gives me the "Webpage not available" screen. Same thing if I attempt to download app on Google Play. It seems to get to about 10%-20% then hangs. The WiFi is connected the entire time on the phone.
I have had no issues with our WiFi, whether it be on my PC or the gf's laptop or her iPhone5. But my Desire C is a different story.
Any suggestions?
edit:
I should probably note that I took the phone to work and tried the same while on my mobile network and had the exact same problem as I did on the WiFi.
further edit: After some more playing around I have found that my internet works fine for a minute or so after booting it up from shut-down. Then it craps out again.
Are you locked or unlocked?
