Unstable radio on unlocked Treo 750 - Palm Treo 750

My Software Version - TREO750-2.23-RWE
Firmware Version - 1.54.00.00
GPRS / 3G connection not always launches itself. I have push email and i find myself having to go to "manage connections" and activate it manually...
Can anyone help, please?

Try again athena_unlock program (run from TREO 750).
This util is obtainable after use CheetahUnlocker and extracting to C or D:/TempChe
or flash again WM6 TREO750-2.23-RWE form miniSD nammed CHEEIMG.nbh

Thansk for your anwser.
I can't run it again because it keeps telling that i already ran the upgrade...

extract cheeimg_fw.nbh, place it in a folder with kaisercutomruu.exe (search forum for this), rename cheeimg_fw.nbh to ruu_signed.nbh, execute kaiser*.exe
I do not recommend upgrading to 1.54.30.x

Thanks for your answer. But, if yoy don't recommend this upgrade, perhaps i 'd better stay still.. Right?

btw, it happens frequently that my data connection doesn't start when some application (as the IE) requires it; but, after editing the connection (without changing anything at all) it just starts working... till the next time.
Thanks,

instead of editing the connection, do this instead.
start
settings
connections tab
connections
manage existing connections
on your isp click and hold the middle button or stylus and you will get an option that says "connect"

Well let's explore the issue at hand: You do not get an auto-connect to GPRS/3G. Can you explain the situation a bit more. Is there data outbound (e.g. internet browsing or mail synch) or do you expect data to connect when there is no data outbound? When you attempt outbound data traffic do you get an error or simply no attempt at all to connect to GPRS/3G?

The situation arrives when i try to access the internet (IE) or push synch my corporate email (with Onebridge).
Sometimes it works fine; but... suddenly it stops working (i mean, the data connection).

most of my programs won't connect

Phone: HTC Wizard (T-Mobile MDA)
Current Rom: X-Plore 2.0
Radio: 2.19.11
Network: T-Mobile USA
Since upgrading to X-Plore 2.0 I am able to use Netfront, Internet Explorer, SMS, and MMS. But programs like Pocket IRC, the FTP client within Total Commander, and things like that won't connect to the net. I have verified that my settings are correct, So I donot understand what is occuring. All these worked perfectly before the upgrade but now donot at all. Unfortunately I donot have a Data Cable any longer to try and see if it was merely the rom or something else.
Please someone help!
This includes Windows Live (not connecting). I don't get it, why are browsers connecting but not my apps?
Okay just tried a hard reset. Still No Bueno.
If this helps:
Programs That Do Connect:
1. IE
2. NetFront
3. Opera (loaded only to test if it would connect)
4. SKTools (When it connects to see if there are updates available)
5. Tweaks2K2.Net (When it connects to see if updates are available)
Programs that DONOT connect:
1. PocketIRC (Keeps acting like it kind find a server to connect to just jumps from ip addy to ip addy trying to connecy)
2. Total Commander FTP Plugin (Says ''Username not accepted; Offline'' And that is on multiple FTP's including XDA'S!!)
3. Windows Live
Now I have verified my settings in connections and the fact that my browsers will connect shows me its able and is connecting and browsing the net. Please guys what could it be???? Thanks in advance!
And you are using GPRS ?
My WindowsLive is working ...i did not tested the others you said, but i am sure that Windows Live is connecting....except now, it won't work neither from my PC, that's M$'s bad not mine...
Mabe it's the connection or data plan. Are you sure that it worked before..or you changed data plan meanwhile ?
Yeah It worked before and I have not changed my data plan. If I recall it worked after the upgrade for a short while. Its been occuring for about a week now. Its bloody frusterating because my browsers all work, I can browse the internet, and do all that good stuff. I just cannot get things like PiRC & Total Commander to connect to the net. Even after a hard reset...Nothing. Could T-Mobile be blocking these apps? Of course once again that would not explain why NetFront and Opera, Sktools and Tweaks2k2 can connect. I am about to install OZ IM ill let you know if it works. Question though, Is there an alternative to using T-Mobile USA's 216 Proxy? Maybe a better one? Cuz maybe if I change the proxy to a non-T-Mobile one they won't be able to block it anymore..... Hmmm its an idea.
and sure enough OZ IM Connects its the one I found in the Ext. Rom
Yeah its gotta be a T-Mobile issue cuz all the programs that DONOT connect via GPRS/Edge connect perfectly via WIFI. Why would T-Mobile do that and is there a way around it?
Okay so I called T-Mobile and they deny doing anything of the sort. Which is good and bad. I am also getting a nice little messege in both WIFI and in GPRS when trying to download anything that states "This device is restricted from downloading this file type" when trying to download anything from the net. Any ideas?
Edit: I also called HTC and they said that there are no settings in the phone that would cuase this occurence which is bull becuase umm yeah....Anyway HTC tech support or at least every one of them that I talked to is for crud. Not very good support those guys.
Which data plan do you have? The $29.99 Internet one or the $5.99 T-zones one. If you only have the $5.99 plan, t-mobile filters a lot of the traffic that isn't on specific ports (ie port 80 for http works, but many other's won't) which causes some programs to not get network access. There were some proxies that allowed you to get around those, but a lot of them aren't working anymore last I heard.
If that's the case, probably your only solution is to pay for the full data plan which includes all ports internet access.
See the only reason I donot suspect the Data Plan being the issue (yes I have the 5.99 T-Mobile Web Plan,formely the $2.99 T-Zones) is because programs like NetFront and the like are connecting without issue. However I DO Suspect its a setting of some sort within the phone. I am going to try a level 2 Hard Reset (the one done with the combination of buttons) and see what happens. I tried a level 1 hard reset (The clear storage) to no avail. The level 2 hard reset will hopefully wipe it.

I am in the same boat as you. With my tinkering I found that programs automatically connect to the connection called "The Internet" which there is no way I can edit.
It connects to this "The Internet" automatically even when I set it to connect to my Proxy setting connection in Settings>Connections>Advanced tab on the bottom>Select Networks. Could that be the problem?
Okay after my Hard Reset 2 (the combination of buttons, I was finally able to get to download programs again, however I am back to having a 1MB download limit. And in answer to your question yes I have the same thing even though I don't have a connection called ''the internet'' other thing I have noticed is that the connection ISP does not allow for the assigning of a proxy server. Even though you can just make a new connection and assign a proxy server to that new one. This however does not circumvent our little issue. Nor does it get rid of my 1MB dl limit. Anichulis do you know how to change programs defualt connections away from Internet and assign them to use GPRS?
Hey This issue, is still occuring any ideas?

Stopping win 6.1 using GPRS/EDGE connection

Hi, Ive just been checking my phonebill and noticed since upgrading to the 6.1WM my phone using the internet access (GPRS/EDGE). I cant physically see whats running in task manager, but it def is accessing the internet at certain stages. I have no email set up apart from windows live (Hotmail) and that is all signed out of? How to i stop this?
Have you already tried the following? The same helps to end GPRS/EDGE connection by using the Call End key (Red key) once you finished using the Internet. In fact, in many cases, the connection closes automatically after being idle for some time.
Go to: HKLM-->Comm-->ConnMgr-->Planner-->Settings-->SuspendResume
and delete ~GPRS! value.
maybe it is rss hub ? it can be configured to update rss each time it detects a connection.
In Dr. Gonzo's rom there is a util in the System folder called NoData. I use this to disable my gprs connection because I never use it and its pay per use. Its very simple to enable when you want to use data.
ok, ill take a look? What does HKLM mean?
It means you need to edit the registry on your phone, HKLM means "HKey Local Machine". I have just done this as it was leaving the data connection active on the standard WM6 HTC ROM, and it worked.
Thanks!
Thanks for the help.

Problem: Omnia, programs cant connect through GPRS, but opera can!

ok, here is the deal, im going to try to be as specific as possible so i dont cause too much trouble. Thank you in advance!
Phone: Omnia
Version: Lite02
Provider: Wind Greece
Problem: I used to be able to connect to the internet ONLY through my wi-fi connection. In order to "reprogram" the whole deal (under settings > connections > connections) i deleted all the settings there thinking i could do it correct if i started from scratch.. what i fool i was.
Exactly what i did: I installed the Htc_Network_Wizard_GR (in order to get the greek settings automatically for wind. Also, i installed a cab which added a "Opera Widgets" program - cab's name: echOpera Mobile 9.5 b2520.
Current situation: Under connections i got Wind Internet, which apparently has the correct GPRS settings, because, when i set it under advanced > Select Networks > Programs that automaticaly connect to internet:, AND select the Opera browser to use that connection to connect to the internet, Opera DOES connect and show pages JUST FINE! on top of that when i pass from Opera a youtube video to CorePlayer to play it.. It DOEs!
Now, EVERY other program that uses internet doesnt seem to find the connection!! for example, youtubeplay, when i press feed: top rated, it IMMEDIATELY sends message "search failed, internet connection not working or timeout." Same goes for: SPB weather, Insight, and even the built-in e-mail (from the windows)
A secondary problem, is that now, every program, INCLUDING the Opera browser, DOESNT find as an internet connection my wifi! meaning, although i connect nicely to the only source i could go online from my omnia, now thats gone too. In addition, where i think the problem with that one is, Under Wifi > Network Adapters > My network card connects to > there is NOTHING to select from.. how do i change this?

ok, an update, ive come to the conclusion that i *probably* need to restore some registry keys in order to make this god damned phone work at last.. anyone who can provide me with a cab probably? which can restore the previous settings? :S

you could ring the provider and ask them to send you setting to your

Stop WinMobile establishing data-connections without asking

Hey mates!
First of all I wanna wish you a hapy new year
Ok, now to my question.
I've got a HTC Touch HD a week ago.
I recognized that it establishes a data-connection without asking me.
When i'm using Wifi - no problem.
But as I don't have a data-flat that gets quite expensive, if I can't use Wifi (most of the time no wifi available).
Is it possible to set up Winmobile so that it asks me BEFORE establishing an data connection?
I didn't find any solutions, google didn't help me, too.
Of yourse I could just change the adresses in the settings.
e.g- "internet.t-mobile.de" to "internet.t-mobile.deXXX" ---> no connection possible.
But i want to receive and send MMS at any time, so that would not be possible any more.
I hope you can help me, thx.

try nodata
this should do what you need....i think
http://www.modaco.com/content/pocket-pc-software/246171/new-free-utility-nodata/
thx, but not really what i need.
With this programm i still have to close connections by hand.
I just want WinMobile to ask me BEFORE it establishes a connection.
For example: When I open an programm which tries to download something, a popup should appear

Establish data-connection?
[ ]Yes
[ ] NO

I have the same problem with my Touch 3G (Jade). Turning the Data Connection off in the Main Touchflow settings tab helps but doesn't stop it completely. The worst thing is that doesn't seem to download anything but just connecting is enough to start costing.
I spoke to HTC today and they gave me a solution to this problem. Go to Settings, Connections, Connections, Advanced and then Select Networks. There you should find a drop down tab with something like ******GPRS, where ****** is your network. Now now choose New and create a new connection name like "No GPRS" for example. Click OK.
You now have a title but no settings so when you select this one, the phone can't connect to the internet. It might attempt to connect but it won't go through. Don't worry about MMS as this uses a different set of settings and works perfectly (for me).
Hope this helps, Woolly.
Find what apps are creating the connection so you can prevent it. Spb Monitor should be able to show you that.
Using Modaco NoData (link given above) will just do the same saving your time (you don't have to create a fake connection set).
What schlitzohr1812 wants is a way to make WM ask for permission to connect. I haven't heard of anything like this, but if you assign a shortcut to NoData it's almost as easy as what you are looking for. By the way, despite the name, NoData will prevent WM from opening connections, not only to exchange data over them.
Just remember that if you disable the connection while it is already open, you still have to close it manually. Also beware that if in your Comm Manager you have an enabled "Data connection" button (on some phones it's always disabled when the connection is closed, on others it can be used to open it), that button WILL open a connection even if they are disabled.
Thx for helping guys, but "Black Antitoon" is right.
That's not exactly what I was searching for but better than nothing.
I'm used to my old nokia phone (N70) which asked me before.
Incomprehensible why Windows Mobile does not have such an option...

anybody wrote an app for this data permission yet please?

Sprint Touch Pro2 Internet Sharing

Ok, so the data on the phone works... but if I try to tether it and share the internet to my laptop, I get a code 67 saying my username and/or password is incorrect... the thing is that the data works all the time except when tethering...
any idea on how to fix this?
thanks.
Apparently I can fix this error in EPST... however I cant get my MSL through any of the suggested methods... anyone know how to get the MSL from the touch pro2? its an MEID, but using a converted pESN doesn't work with GetSPC...
I am suddenly having the same issues also. I had this working just by installing the ICS and WModem Fix.CAB but then I did a hard reset and reinstalled the ICS and WModem Fix.CAB and now it doesn't work. Could this just be Sprint catching on?
why would you reinstall it? was it not working?
just download from thgis site the wifi software. it worked on my tp2 spri nt
Code:
1. Edit the following regestry entries.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\InternetSharing]
Extension="" Delete the "isext.dll" entry
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\InternetSharing\settings]
ForceCellConnection="Sprint"
2. Start the Internet Sharing application.
3. Hit Connect In the Internet Sharing application.
4. Connect the TP/TP2 to the Laptop/PC via USB
5. Done. No other applications needs to run on the PC/Laptop
Basically, you need to tether with "Sprint", not "Phone As Modem." Just tested this and it worked quite well. If you still are unable to connect, be sure you disconnect and reconnect the phone.
You might want to try to start a data connection manually first from Connection Manager. Then try to tether.
I had the same problem yesterday so i deleted

Use the tp internet sharing fix.
I used the internet sharing fix from the touch pro 1 and it works well. U must make sure u allow dta connection from active sync on the pc...make sure it is turned on through comm mananger..should work like a charm
I have a TP2 now and tether with wmwifirouter. I have never had to do any editing/hacking of the reg or had any of the issues you describe but then I never tried to use ICS alone on TP2. My advice would be to download the free trial and see if that helps.
http://www.wmwifirouter.com/
I used to tether with my SPrint Mogul, first with just ICS in windows but had constant dropped connections. Then tried PDA net and had similar issues. I thought the newest PDAnet version might help so I purchased it but same issues. Still waiting for my refund.
Then I got wmwifirouter for my Mogul and it was like a beautiful dream. It worked 99.5% of the time. The difference in reliability between ICS and wmwifirouter or PDAnet + Activesync vs wifirouter cannot be overstated. Did I mention I really like wmwifirouter?
wmwifirouter doesn't depend on crappy Activesync on the PC side to function which may be part of the difference.
As for PDAnet, I used to save the error messages and email them to the company periodically. Eventually I ran out of hard drive space.

I did the above Reg Hack and now I can't get data while on the phone. Of course I can't remember if I could EVER get voice and data on CDMA as I just switched from GSM where that is possible.
I'm on Sprint and as soon as I use my phone the connection goes from an Ev to a 1x and it only switches back to Ev when I hang up. Is this normal or a result of the hack?
Thanks.

On CDMA you can't use data while on the phone. It's how CDMA works. It uses the same antenna/radio. So, nothing is wrong with your phone.
so this thread is confusing me. Are the instructions all you need or do I need to install something for standard internet sharing. Also, is this going through activsync? I have a mac and would like to use this (at rare times) on it. Is my only option a wifi program? Is there a bluetooth method?
I have done the registry hack and got tethering working, but upon a reset, the hack gets undone and the registry goes back to phone as modem. I am having to constantly change that key entry back to Sprint. Is no one else having this problem?

Install DotFred's TaskManager
Click select Menu, Tab Options, Select Tab, Services. Find "CM Guardian", click and hold until menu pop up and select "Set Manual".

Why don't you just install the WiFi Sharing app... it works like a charm and you don't need to pay for internet sharing.
SOLVED
Ok, I had the same problem on my Sprint TP2. Here's the issue:
There is a program running that watches for you to change the "ForceCellConnection" registry key. It changes it back to "Phone as Modem" because Sprint REALLY wants you to pay $30/month for a tethering plan (despite the fact that your phone is capable of doing it for free).
The program running in the background is called "CMGuardian", and you'll find it in the registry under HKLM/Services/CMGuardian and HKLM/Services/CMGuaridan. (Note one is misspelled... probably on purpose by Sprint to keep people from searching the registry for it).
I set the DWORD key "Flags" to 4 in both keys and soft reset. This disabled CMGuardian (and frees up a lot of RAM too).
Next, you can edit the ForceCellConnection key and change it to Sprint permanently. ICS should now work. If you still get Error 67, establish a data connection first (open opera, or just go to conn manager and turn on data), then click Connect in ICS.

So what all is CM Guardian doing? We don't really know if it's doing anything else or not. Are we sure we want to stop it if we don't know what all it does?
CM Guardian is a program that keeps certain things within factory specs for whatever reason..
as long as you dont screw something else up in the reg CmG wont even be needed..(i think its to prevent us from reg mods)
if you disable it, edit the reg for tether, soft reset.
open web browser, open internet sharing, click connect, then connect usb to pc to phone and it will work..
+1 for WMWiFiRouter!
