GPRS Stops Working

[toys4x4boys]

Traded up(?) to the Niki from a Tornado, I use push email from the works exchange server, over Vodafone contract GPRS, the Tornado was always great for this.

Setup the Niki with the same GPRS settings, when I turn it on everything works, push email, internet browsing etc. After a while it stops working, can't sync, can't browse the web, or even get a weather update. Though it still says it's got a good GPRS connection.

Switch off and back on and it all works again for a short while, then same again.

I've even flashed wioth Tom's ROM to see if that improved things, still the same.

Stoping and starting the GPRS connection doesn't help.

Proxy, DNS, other issue ?

Any ideas ?

I have the same problem. The only way to restore it in my experience is by activating 3G in the comms manager (or restarting). From there the phone will log off from the data connection and log back on again. From the searching I've done it seems to be a problem related to WM6. I also use push mail and, when this happens, it's very annoying. Haven't found a solution yet. I've tried an alternate DNS address (still nothing), I've tried upgrading the radio to a Kaiser ROM (same problem), and I've tried using Toms ROM (still the same problem). I was hoping that upgrading the radio ROM would solve it, but it hasn't. I'm going to try and have the phone on 3G all day and see if it drops out of connection. If it doesn't then that would indicate some problem with the GPRS side of WM. I don't think it's a setting thing, but I could be wrong. I wish I could find a solution though because I'm considering moving to an N95 8Gb...

I have the same issue,

see my post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=374226
but with no reply...

When it occurs I can switch off the phone part (plane mode), but I can't switch back on, it stucks to plane mode... I've to shutdown the device to be able to restart a good data connection.

Maybe a WM6 bug... or radio rom issue .. I dunno

Thanks both,

I've changed the radio rom to this one, RUU Nike Radio 1.64.08.21K , which is a hacked Kaiser one, seems a bit better, still a low signal, but quicker reconection, and the GPRS stays up longer.

Vodafone UK
Tom's Rom
RUU Nike Radio 1.64.08.21K

Cheers.

GPRS connectivity issue

Same issue here. Push mail, GPRS, internet stops working after a while. Sometimes it works for a day or less. I place it into plane mode and then turn off plane mode. and it usually works. Sometimes i have to reboot the whole thing, but not very often.

The display still shows G in the top box, but doesn't work.

Anyone have any fixes, or suggestions...

OMG, didn't know that this is a common problem.

Waiting for the SE XPERIA X1.
