Only solution so far is to not upgrade to the new ROM.

I've followed this path. :D

Who wants to reconnect GPRS every time they turn their XDA II back on?

Certainly not I. ;)

ROM upgrade is the best solution

Dear all,

I got to know that to end the GPRS is to hold the END Talk button for about 2-3 second and it will switch off the GPRS. The icon will change and if you check by clicking the icon it will tell you that GPRS is off.

Regards,
Kueh.

I've got the ROM update from T-Mobile:
version 1.60.00WWE
radio: 1.06.01
ExtROM: 1.60.06

But I customized the ExtROM since I don't have a Read-only ExtROM. Removed most of the T-Mobile specific customizations and GPRS does stay connected after going into suspend mode. In fact, there is also a Disconnect button for GPRS and pressing the End Call button once will disconnect GPRS. I don't have to hold it down for a few seconds anymore.

However, I do have the problem where File Explorer will show the spinning circle "busy" icon non-stop after certain file management activities.

I think you may have trouble with SD slot / SD card.

OK,

In order to use the 1.60 ROM and have always on GPRS, you need to delete the TMD_AP_NL.sa.CAB file from the extended ROM and then hard reset again. I have deleted all of the TMD*.CAB files as I assumed they were T-Mobile specific and not needed for running my I-Mate (even on T-Mobile) and my GPRS connection is now always on. This particular CAB file is also responsible for the GPRS connection time indicator, which I no longer have, I guess it would show a long time.
