data connection

[Sjengie]

Hi,

is it normal for the TP not to connect automatically to my 3G network whenever I open programs such as Opera or Google Maps ?
it worked fine with my previous Touch Diamond.
now i need to go to Comm Manager and manually activate Data Connection
very awkward

Am I alone with this problem ?

Eventhough my data connection is on, i cannot send/receive mail, open sites etc etc.
I need to open connections and to "manage" (= go through the settings without changing anything) existing connections before it works again for a short period.
strange, bug ?

I can tell you mine connects (dials-up) automatically, works like a charm

The problem I am having is after a soft reset I need to recreate the connection (write in APN again), as it simply won't connect

do not worry about the poor feeback around here; Palm Treo Pro has a strange user pool, not in to flashing, modding, or pretty much anything, just application and accessories (I am the only one to notice that? Is that beacuse the users came from Palm OS platform and are not used to reap the benefits of this?)

nawww...I'd say b/c it is targeted for business users. I may not be a typical business user but the older I get, I am. I can say that I like to get a phone that works for me, not the other way around. The treo is just that. Not too much modding these days...but that's just me.

about the data connection, that is not normal. Have you tried a hard reset? Sounds like something is wrong.

thx Mike !


forgot that one, I used the Treo straight out of the box without a prior hard reset when I brought it home to Morocco from the US.
a hard reset seems to do the job !
but I have not yet re-installed my software like SPB Mobile Shell, Slovo Ed Dictionary, Opera mobile beta and treo BT update.

lets see how it goes one by one !

This is exactly the problem that I am having too. Have you found a way to sort it out?
