Tmobile GPRS with XDAII

[andygee]

I have gotten a XDAII and have it setup and working, however the gprs only connects when needed and won't stay permantley on. Has anyone else found this to be true, or is there a way to make it stay connected?

you have an o2 XDA II or an Imate or a MDA II?

I dont have any other known answer to that to fix it but there's a program on PocketGear.com called GPRS Keep Alive. $2.45 to buy it and there's a trial too so give it a try. :)

Her's the link incase you want it:

But if you guys have alternate fix let us know, pls. ;)

Here's a solution I've done to my XDA II with T-Mobile GPRS problem. I don't know who came up with this solution, but thanks to my friend who suggested this at PDAMobiz.com (http://www.pdamobiz.com).

1. After a hardreset and completing the initial screen alignment, interrupt the auto-installation process by softreset your XDA II (you have 3 seconds before the files in Extended_ROM will automatically install).

2. Make your Extended_ROM viewable, whether by using the Extended ROM Viewer from http://www.ppcw.net or Extended ROM Switcher (sorry I forgot the link).

3. Now, install each cab files, except TMD_AP_NL.sa.CAB. In fact, I also disregarded, Caller ID, and some other TMD stuff.

As a result, the GPRS is now always-on as it should be.

Cheers,
