gprs connection disappearing.. and headset problems

[sscheema]

okay -- my gprs connection disappears after a day or so and i have to make another connection -- if i give it the previous name then i am told that the connection already exists. any way around

second problem is that i am using bluetooth headset and i can hear songs on it but no calls -- i can hear only a loud hiss. is it a known issue and is there a way aoound it??

The Bluetooth is a known, and very "annoying"problem to say the least. The trouble is that it is not clear where it comes from. It seems to affect also ppl who have upgraded their firmware...

And in the best end-user support tradition, neither the manufacturer (HTC) nor the distributor (O2 et al) even bother to acknowledge it or say if they intend to fix it.

Are you sure the GPRS actually dissapears? There is a known problem where it will not re-connect,if you put it into flight mode and then back out of flight mode you may find the GPRS wil re-connect. As for the BT issue, have you recently upgraded the rom? The 169 version from O2 had known BT headset issues.

I will answer both the questions -- firstly regarding the upgradation of the radio version -- i have not upgraded the firmware as far the bluetooth is concerned but i did upgrade the radio version. but the fact remains that i can hear the songs being played on the media player. what i am looking for is some tweak or a setting i am missing. i have already tried to uninstall and install the drivers again but i have had no joy.

regarding the gprs a soft reset is helping but yes -- it does disappear. and the fact is though i cannot find the first connection i made, i a told that i cannot make the next connection with the old name. can i know what speeds i would be getting over the gprs connection anyway??

thanks a ton
