Hi need expert help here
I dont subscribe to a GPRS or 3G package, only a GSM connection for now. But I always receive a message box that the modem cannot connect to the GPRS server etc and I should go into the settings page to reset my connection.
My Palm now has a white box with a capital G next to the signal strength icon on top of the Today screen. Used to be just the connectivitiy icon for Activesync but now the G is constantly there.
How can I go back to the time where the the Activesync icon is shown and not the box with G? No hard reset suggestion please, thanks

HI all,
first of all i want to thankyou all for this awsome site and keeping the good work going.
I need some help with wifi setup.
I tried to setup my wifi with my 8125 using wifi companion and wifi fofum and both detected my network and connected to it successfully however, when i try to connect to the net using internet explorer a msg pops up saying that "cannot connect" Dialed +some number and then it says No modem at above number. To check connections settings change them if needed. I upgraded my rom to the latest one from cingular how ever i never entered this number which it is showing. Can some one help me with this issue and tell me what should i do.
thanks in advance.
Ps:- I tried wifi companion and wifi fofum separately not together.
thanks.
sounds like internet explorer is trying to connect to gprs or cellular modem or somthing.
you need to go to settings, connections, advanced, select networks, and make sure the drop down lists are set to "My Work Network"
Also check under setting, wireless lan, powermode and move the slider all the way to the left for best performance. I cannot connect to any routers when it is in the middle (the default setting). I have no problems connecting anywhere with it set to best performance.
I previously posted a question, but received no replies. Just wondered if anyone can now help me. There is wi-fi at work which I am able to connect to. However, whenever I do so, the 3G, GPRS takes over and connects that way. I cannot understand why or get around it. I am on o2. My colleague is on T mobile - I set his wi-fi link up in exactly the same way and he has no problems whatsoever. I am desperate for your suggestions.
Are you using push mail by chance? I found that M$ push will try to connect to GPRS even when WiFI connection is established. IE goes through the WiFi connection (obvious speed difference) but push mail won't let me kill GPRS.
Haven't found any solution to this yet.
Any chance you have tried turning the radio off!! Of course you wont be able to receive/make calls)
Just a suggestion though
I had same problem but managed to solve it (I have a Qtek9100 a.k.a Wizard with WM 5.0)
You must go to "Settings", select the "Connections" tab bellow and the click on the "Connections" icon. Once there you must select the "Advanced" tab bellow and click "Select Networks" button where you'll find a drop-down (combo) box responsible for the programs that automatically connect to the Internet.
You'll probably find there the connections you set for the GPRS and MMS. All you need to do is create a new one (can call Wifi or whatever) and select it.
That's it. hope you can do it
I was downloading a file on my TYTN from the microsoft site "framework 2.0"-something... using the phones network GPRS on "G" mode. The download took a long time and then it blocked the device. After a soft-reset, I could see the signal bars, but no "G" sign, just a "no connection" sign. Can't do/recieve call, sms or gprs... When I enter a 3G zone, all comes back to normal. But in G zones my phone is useless.
But if I'm on a 3G zone, and I chose the phone option to just use G, it connects fine! the G sign appears and I have no problems.
I upgraded to the last radio version, upgraded to WM6 and the trouble continues.
about 2 months ago I had a broken screen and change it myself. The phone worked fine for I month after that, I think it's not related but I opened the phone again just to see if I could had done something to cause this, but saw nothing wrong or burnt.
I've searched the forum and found nothing like this, can someone help me?
Thanks.
Sorry, I posted this in here too becouse this could probably happen in every model
Hello? noone? Help please.
Try clicking on the Signal Strength icon (those bars near the antenna icon), go Settings -> Band. And check AUTO there.
nope.
If I'm a 3G zone, and "band" is in "auto", I get 3G of course. If I'm just on a G area the problem arrises.
If I'm on a 3G area and "band" is set to "GSM" I get the G icon and the phone works fine...
Flash new radio upgrade.
I allready said I did that. no sccess.
A work colleague is using a sim free touch cruise on the vodafone network but vodafone don't have any support for this device (mind you neither does HTC ). We got the vodafone settings for billpay vodafone off the internet and input them and can now surf, download gmail etc over HSDPA (H icon shows) and then it automatically reverts to 3G when not in use.
The problem is that the icon for 3G/umts in use is always on (ie the small 3G over the signal strength) and when the bigger 3G icon is touched it shows how long connected to 3G and as the device is still connected it keeps counting time even though the application using 3G is shut down.
My questions are as follows:
In this state (big 3G icon showing and small 3G icon above signal strenght) is this costing anything being constantly connected to 3G but not using it?
How can it be set to automatically disconnect?
My own touch cruise is on the 3 network but I don't have this difficulty.
My thinking is that it might have something to do with "vodafone live" but not sure what is happening or possibly have selected the wrong set of settings for vodafone ireland as there is a few different sets.
Sorry this is a bit long winded but any advice much appreciated.
The always ON connection is general behaviour... it doesn't matter which network is the device on.
The big 3G/H icons only represent the available network (G(PRS)/E(DGE)/3G/H(SDPA))
The smaller is the signal strength...
The cost of the always ON connection depends on the dataplan being used... if it's an unlimited or a fairly large one like 5GB, it won't matter... but it realy depends on the data recieved....
In my case the avarage hourly traffic is around 1 MB, but i have a little e-mail traffic going so... whith a few mails and every 30 minute checking the traffic should be around 500 KB or lower...
As for the Auto-Disconnect, please search the forum... there are several threads about this in both subforums.
Thats great gnick666 thanks for your reply.
I know the Advanced Configuration Tool has an auto disconnect feature, but I had some issues with it and never went back to go play around with it.
You can also hold down the End button and a menu pops up and you can end data connection there. Or alternatively you can configure it so that holding down the End button always disconnects your data connection.
I have an unlimited data plan so not worried about data, I'm not sure however what the impact to battery usage is so I disconnect "just in case".
As for the 3G / H icon behaviors. Depending on which part of the country I'm in, I get different icons. Sometimes I get 3G and it switches to H when doing data. Othertimes it's always H whether disconnected or connected. (This is assuming that I'm in a 3G location) and not switching back to Edge.
Mine mostly shows the bigger 3G icon and the signal strenght icon with the little antenna icon (I'm on the 3 network which is 3g) but when I download data the small icon changes to 3G and then both change to H as required. Once finished it disconnects and reverts back to 3G. I have Schapps Advanced config tool installed.
I begin by apologizing if it is not the correct place to post.
I have a problem, I have a smartphone orro and it appears the 2G / 3G incone next to the network signal. Even if I activate the mobile data, also appear the signal above the network signal, as usual: H + or 3G.
I wanted to remove those large icons that appear next to the network signal, thus leaving only the traditional icons to appear on the network icon.
Look at the image in the gdrive.

The android version is 5.1.
Thank you. :highfive:
If the option is not available in your device settings you'll need an external tool. Browse the app store for a status bar editor and if you want to dive deep you certainly do it with root.
