Problems after o2 Rom Upgrade

[Wannabe Geek]

I have had a couple of problems with the upgrade to the new o2 rom.

1) I can be actively connected to a wireless lan network, but connecting to the internet will always default to the 3G option even though I have a good wireless lan signal. O2 data support now want me to do a hard reset...so prefer to see if there are any other options available.

2) My Pocket Plus icons will occasionally revert to the traditional windows icon so that one cannot determine which program is behind the symbol. Soft resetting may clear this, but not always...Yet for all this I have plenty of memory, both storage and program.

I am therefore wondering whether there are some conflicts with the new rom and my applications such as Pocket Plus...Also there is apparently no option on the exec to prefer the wireless lan as a default way of connecting to the internet...

Any advice much appreciated before I do another hard reset.

Thanks.

I've had issues with the Connections in both 2003 and 2005 - my solution to the problem you describe was to:

1. Setup the "My Work Network" to use the settings from "My ISP" rather than the "O2 Active" settings.

2. Ensure that it has the "This network connects to the Internet" enabled, and "This network uses a proxy server to connect to the internet" disabled.

3. Select "My Work Network" for both options under "Select Networks".

This should basically give you a system that will use Wireless if available, or 3G if not.

Cheers,

Steve.

Yep, had the wireless network connected to 'work' rather than 'the internet', so its back working as it should. Disappointingly O2 data support could not have told me that and with your help I was saved a needless hard reset. Just need to sort out the icon situation, but perhaps that is more of a software conflict...
