Any body knows for xda 1, you can keep checking new mail arrival through GPRS?
I heard people using xda 2 can do that. But is there any chance xda 1 can do the same thing?
Actually, when u do the setting for POP account, it ask u to set how many minutes to check for new messages. But it never work because the GPRS will close automatically.
Thanks very much. :?

I am using the most updated PPC2002 version already. (3.20.06 ROM and 4.21 Radio)

Do u mean I have to upgrade to PPC2003?

I doubt that because they are not very stable for me to use in Hong Kong so far from other guy's comments in this website.

Thanks very much.

Since you're already running the latest upgrade its suppose to work but since it doesn't I would have to say that your always-on settings are at fault. So go to Start, Settings, Connections and make sure that its set to not disconnect.

Are you sure that it is also for xda1 ?
I can't locate that "not disconnect" setting.
Please clarify.
Thanks so much.

It should say some thing like this:
GPRS connection to remain active once the device enters power save mode.

At least it does on the PPC 2002 latest AT&T ROM and the XDA developers Special Edition ROM v1.2. (which is bases on the O2 3.17.03 ROM).

That's really strange for my O2 xda!
I only found a setting called GPRS Suspend Mode setting.
It said,
When you are in power-saving mode, do you want to:
- Keep GPRS connection
- End GPRS connection
I clicked on the first one.
Then I close it, and connect to GPRS.
Just for a while, the connection ends by itself.

Any thought?

Thanks a lot again.

Yeap thats the correct setting and the same one I'm speaking of!
I read a lot of bad reports about the 4.21 radio stack so it might be at fault.

Maybe you should think about upgrading to the Qtec radio stack, heard nothing but good reports on that one.

The Qtek 1010 Radio Stack Upgrade can be found at:
http://www.carrierdevices.com.au/downloads.php?region=Asia Pacific
Download Radio Upgrade File : RSUv1.15_(GPRS_T32500_ENG).exe
BTW read the WARNING.


BTW do you have a URL for that newer o2 ROM, I'd like to install it and see if it does the same for me/

BTW, I am a bit nervous to install the radio file cause I have bad experience that almost kill my phone.

Is it really okay just to install the radio file?

Like I said I've heard nothing but good reports on upgrading to this radio
stack (no failed upgrades have been reported but as with any upgrade there is always a possibility). :wink:

BTW thanks for the link!

Oh! I didn't realize that...sorry.
I am still a bit nervous for upgrading (or is it actually downgrading) to the i-mat ROM.
If it is downgrading, I will definitely not try that...

Hi Qman,

I just notice that Yorch.net got the 3.20.06 ROM.

Also they have the 4.00.21 ROM (pre-release T-Mobile version). Is it for the US market only?

hi; Are you sure that Yorch.net got the 3.20.06 ROM??? Can't find it. I have downgraded my XDA yesterday from the kitchen wm2003 because of bugs to kitchen 2002 but it says 3.17.03 and not the one you mention???!!!

Hey,

That's not from the "kitchen". It's from the "upgrade" just under "kitchen". Check it out again and you will find it.

Anybody knows that 4.00.21 is good for o2 xda?

That's terrible. What about the GPRS and phone reception?

To be honest, I won't use it if it will wipe off the sd contents every 2 days.

Have you tried to burn again?

so far GPRS is not working ....

but that is due local GSM provider that has some complicates setup as to make GPRS to work, phone recption is ok ... I am living in area where virtually all GSM phones had reception problems (i.e. majority of nokia phones), although in a city center it is perfect ....

just for you to know ... I have received a link from one of the group members for the most recent update - look there for details :

Thanks very much for your reply.

But I think that Upgrade exe file is for US only cause that include the radio upgrade as well.

So, are you able to downgrade your 4.00.21 easily?
I am not sure whether its worth to downgrade your device to 3.20.06 to see whether its a real problem with SD card. And to upgrade it to 4.00.21 again to verify it. It may happen only at some occasion as you know electronic device can never guarrentee functioning 100%.

Hope you can fix your device.

Cheers
