GPRS attach weirdness on WMXL 0.10

[mih_]

I'm experiencing strange problem with GPRS on WMXL 0.10
After upgrade, GPRS can attach just when radio starts.
When attached, GPRS works just fine, but if GPRS occasionally deattaches (corresponding icon with 2 opposite arrows and 'x'), there's no way to attach it, besides restart of radio (phone off/on through comm.manager, or network select).
If I set "search [G] on start GPRS connection" via GB-Soft Tweak (instead of default "Search GPRS [G] on start radio") it never connects (unless network reconnect happens)
PIE silently does nothing, Opera says "Could not establish network connection [Error:33]".

Before upgrade WM5 could easily reattach GPRS if it was off.

Any ideas ? I've searched through the forum with no success.
Radio versions 1.35, 1.34, 1.27 were tried with the same symptoms (SSPL)

Thank you in advance.

I would wait and see if the same happens on v0.2 ??

Have you used HTweakC to set the auto-attach? That is how I do it and I must say that I've not experienced this issue.

Certainly, i'll upgrade to 0.20 as soon, as it would be possible.
But I wonder, if i'm the one, who meet the problem.

Im the same. My connection on WM5 AKU3.3 was rock solid and if lost, would always reconnect. Now it is upredictable at best. Probably 80% of the time its fine but if I disable the connection overnight using bandswitch when the connection reenables I can pretty much guarantee that the data connection wont reconnect. None of the programs that should start it such as activesync will do so.
This is the one glitch that has had me considering going back to WM5, but Im hanging on for the next version hoping this will come right.

Ive tried different radio roms but makes no change. Currently using 1.27 which seems to be the best of the bunch.

Really want to stay with WM6 as I love the built in apps, especially the new email but this seems like a typical beta glitch.

Yes, and it works - when radio starts, GPRS successfully attaches and everything is alright.
Until it occasionally deattaches (2 contrary arrows and 'x' icon instead of [G] appears) and there's no way to use it, besides radio restart or network reselect.

Well, I've flashed AKU3.3 and GPRS reattaches transparently.

Is WMXL 0.2 worth of trying in order to fix this issue in your opinion?
Or, it needs "special" radio version? It seems interaction with Radio has changed in WM6.

I have the same experience with WMXL 0.10, when the connection is lost trying to reconnect will crash the connection manager.

No matter how many times you tap in the PIN for your SIM it will not reconnect.

So then it is down to soft reset or switching off to get things working again.

The HSDPA addin also don't seem to work for me. Even after shutting down the 3G / GPRS connection to change the band in HTweakC or in settings/phone/band.

i'm experiencing exactly the same.

after connection is lost gprs won't reconnect or if so it takes very long (10min?) even with a good reception. my gprs and 3g connection was very solid before upgrading to wm6. tried 1.27 and 1.35, same problems. even with nothing installed: same problem.

i've never experienced anything like that before. not on my hermes with wm5, not on my htc wizard or htc universal with wm6.

it has to be something about hermes and wm6. i don't know what it is. i did a HR many times and wanted to see which app is causing the problem (actually resco explorer runs weird on my hermes with wm6), but nothing. as i said even with nothing installed (just the pushmail being used) it's still the same.

and it's really annoying.

still no solution or explanation?

[cruiserman]

same problem here, FWIW. no solution AFAIK. I see Daniel has found some bug in WM6 as it relates to his bandswitcher app here:

facing same problem with k-jam (wizard) in WM6

i tried all radio ROMs but of no use

as soon as i shift back to WM5, it works flawless. i think the problem is with wm6
