Mine works. Where are you? Which provider? Which phone? etc etc.
--M
GPRS worked straight away for me after installing this ROM. Did you select the right provider when you setup your phone? You can rerun that (to verify) by going to Start > Programs > Accessories > Operator cfg (The phone will have to do a soft reset after this runs).
if u use T-Mobile change to wap.voicestream.com
My GPRS died as well. I had to flash the rom and the radio multiple times. I am using T-Mobile US. Radio 2.19.

The two arrows and the "X" means your Wi-fi is on, but cant find any wifi or hotspot connection. Go to comm manager and turn of the wifi.
here is a silly question.
Go into your comm manager and see if your Phone icon is on or off. (look to see if it has an X on it). If it is on, turn it off.. wait a minute... then turn it back on and see if that helps. Sounds like your phone is stuck in flight mode.

Wifi was off at the time - I made sure it was. I rebooted the phone multiple times with no avail...
did you try what i mentioned?
VanFanel,
Yes, I had the same problem with Faria's AKU3.3 rom. I'm using Tmobile and for some reason, nothing would allow it to reconnect to GPRS after about 1 day of use. Tried soft reseting, pulling the battery, disabling wifi, disabling and re-enabling the phone, making new connections profiles, disabling push, disabling activesync OTA, etc. You name it, I looked into it. I did a hard reset on the phone and it worked again for about a day and then just refused to connect again. Finally, I just installed the MB WM6 rom and everything has worked for the past week or so. The GPRS connection did pop up with an X for about 1/2 a day, but I have a feeling that was actually caused by Tmobile's network being down or unreachable in the area (thunderstorms), because GPRS was connected again in the morning. I never did figure out what exactly was wrong but I feel your frustration.

Yessir did that - nothing.
Doc_lee - excatly but i did not even have connection period. The funny thing I tried the mUn WM6 ROM and that worked just dandy, then I upgraded to Farias - and no dice, then I downloaded to Farias AKU 3.3 and it works just dandy.
Blah - I'll wait for the next revision
Solution!
I know why!
If you use "registry Wizard" you need to reenter your password, which is "tmobile" for your internet gprs connection.
Easy solution for a simple problem
Not sure what you are talking about. I don't see any option for a GPRS password within "Registry Wizard". Can you clarify or provide a screen cap?

GPRS Fix
Hey, I was experiencing the same problem with my orwells rom. I tried something but it's only been tested for one day...so far i have not experienced a drop out in my gprs connection like before (same as urs). create a new gprs connection with the exact same information as your previous one, just name it differently. go to settings-connections-add a new modem connection-put the same info as your current gprs settings - in "enter name for connection" put a different name.then under advanced- select networks select that "connection" as "program that automatically connect to the internet" then reset ur fone and see how it goes...just make sure u name ur connection differently compared to the old one - like creating a whole new different connection, only with the same gprs info

So let me get it straight - you also had the "two arrows and x" icon instead of the big G/E for the GPRS connection, then you tried a brand new connection and it worked fine?
i have a problem with my s710...when i close pocketIE (from task manager) and stop gprs connection form comm manager, after few minuts the connection is up again! to stop this gprs connectin i must reboot my smartphone because in the comm manager wont work!
there is no other SW on my s710, so it's impossible that some program made che connection!
any idea?
Yep i get that too and no idea why

I also see a G (or E) in the middle and at the right hand side. And yes, according the manual the icon in the middle means G (or E) is available and the icon at the right there is an ongoing connection. I'm not sure whether the connection is actually used. I think there is no traffic. But that still leaves the question what initiates a connection on your guys S710.
On my S710 after re-enabling the phone function I only see a G (or E) in the middle, but not at the right. Also after some minutes.
I think thats a bug, when I use the gprs I get the small G instead of the antenna in the upper right corner. When I disable gprs it's still there. Has to reboot to get rid of it.
check email settings
you may want to check email settings. if you have selected to check your email account every X minutes the connection will activate automatically. uncheck the box or choose "never" and see if it happens again.
nope - both email accounts set to never

Check Live Messenger
Hello,
I noticed the same issue.
I had to perform a factory reset (Clear) to solve it.
I traced this issue to Microsoft Live Messenger, which tries to connect.
Hans
I wonder if there is anyway I can get it to prompt me before using the gprs?
Sometimes, while browsing, my wifi will cut out and start using my gprs. Which is why I would like my phone to ask me whether or not it can use gprs.
My old P900 always asked.
I'm currently looking if I can create a utility to do just that.
bump as I have the same issue...
most of the times I never realise that WIFi is gone and gprs has been activated.
There must be a way to ask us if we want gprs connection before actually activating it.....
Yep, same problem here. Sometimes I even disable "Phone" in Comm Manager and turn on "WLAN" just to be sure I'm surfing via my WiFi router, and not GPRS/EDGE.
You can always disconnect GPRS via the Comm Manager. Most programs have a setting weather to chose connection automaticaly or you can set it to wifi or gprs(like Internet Explorer)

That's the problem. The GPRS connection is active, but the GRPS in Comm Manager is disabled so you can't turn it off. I've seen some registry key changes that enable you to press the "red end call" key to stop the connection, but it soons resurrects itself and re-appears, and is still not enabled in Comm Manager to disable it.
I've not seen an option in Internet Explorer on the Smartphones to choose Wifi or GPRS, you just get "Internet", "Wap", "Secure WAP", "MMS", "Work". There is no option for Wifi only.
I been looking for a little program for a while now that prompts you when your Wifi connection has lost, and whether you want to continue with GPRS or not. So far, I've not found anything.
I've noticed programs such as Fring monitor such a connection and give you the option, but I would like to see something that is a seperate process and monitors the connection itself, and not just for one program.

You can apply this regedit in the way to disconnect gprs/edge connection simply pressing red button:
to resolve this problem:
Go to: HKLM-->Comm-->ConnMgr-->Planner-->Settings-->SuspendResume
and delete ~GPRS! value.
This value was couseing phone to keep active gprs connection by any meanings.
When you delete it, red button will close the connection again
Found this one somewhere one month ago.
Tested: it works.
Same problem here.
I have seen this issue discussed on several different forums. Is it a WM6 bug?
i just leave my gprs connection setting not set up. When ever i try and connect without WIFI i cannot use GPRS. This means i cant connect to the internet unless i have availble WIFI but at least i wont get billed for un wanted GPRS

It´s sad Windows Mobile/HTC forces you to do these things just to prevent being charged withour your consent.
had to do the same thing, just deleted the whole gprs account ... I actually got billed for 214 "gprs connection" the last month, wich was very expensieve. This is actually a huge bug, hope someone will fix it soon.
Its a money eating bug!
I am a long time reader newer poster. I am coming from a Treo 750. Is there anything I should do to this before I start adding my apps and transfering contacts? Is there a better backup of my Treo other than the Windows Vista Sync? I am mainly concerned with contacts and software. Also I am on Att I heard about the only thing I need to do is swap Sim card out, also should I adjust the wap settings for this to work. [email protected] password CINGULAR1. Also does it matter when syning new device the device name be the same? What is the best ROM I should have?
ATT
I also use att and all i have to do is set up the network to use media net and tell it under advanced to not use the proxy. It should work fine for you then. I am using Bepe rom 6.3 premium. The connection wizzard sets up right for ATT in the us except fothe proxy. you do npot have to enterthe wap settings they are there already.
Coming from my 750, I didn't have to do a thing - just stick in sim card and I was good to go. I am on the PDAConnect plan so no issues with proxies and such.
As for backup, use Sprite. It comes with the Cruise on the CD.
Thanks I will do that. I should have it in my hands tomorrow morning.

I got my phone installed bepe rom premium, I thought I got all of the att settings correct I am able to receive sms and email but for some reason It only has edge when before the rom i was getting hsdpa and 3g speeds. can you please take me through a small tutorial of what excat settings I need in the connections panel. I have only 1 listed MEdiaNet I then went to the advanced network and it says: turn on HSDPA it is checked, GPRS PAP authentication is checked, CSD Line Type data rate 9600 bps(v.32) connection element Transparent, SMS Service SMS over GSM. What else do I need to do? Please help
Also under comm manager it shows no data connection available?????
I figured it out. I removed all settings and went through the connection wizard. Also I forgot to change the band type to auto, that is why I would only get edge speeds. I wasnt sure about the proxy settings, I was supposed to checkit not uncheck it. and found the server settings and port numbers. Thak for everything. This phone is so much better than the treo 750. Well worth the money. No more square screen for me.
Out of curiosity what do we need to set the proxy to? Is this for using tethering or something else? I am on ATT as well and the auto network configure app thing seems to have set it all up correctly. Is there anything additional to be done?
I sometimes uses the wifi connection to surf the web on my touch pro, problem is that the wifi reciver don't look to be very strong so sometimes I loose the connection, especially if I'm moving around.
I have found the program nodata, but it doesn't seem to work that well. Even if I activate nodata and have it running in the background while surfing the phone still connects to gprs/3g connection if the signal is lost. My guess is that if I click a link after I loose the wifi connection the phone seem to override the funtion of nodata. Is there any other software that I can use instead?
I want the phone to wait until a wifi connection is established again instead of changing to a 3g/gprs connection.
I'm not sure. Once I removed all the data connection settings, but then I couldn't use the data ever. I've been keeping an eye for a program that does this, but it seems that everyone under the sun other than me has a data plan.
hahaha yo are noy allone out there, I would alslo like to know how to disable data conection.
the answer - modaco nodata. Its not the neatest but the only one
EDIT: and also you can do this in Advanced Configuration Tool from "connections" menu item. If you want a more permament solution (because of the long way to the choise in the app)
All the apps I mention are really easy to google for

yes...nodata is the one you want.....just search and you shall find
Not sure if this helps but when I handed down my Hermes to my Father in Law just so he could use it for phone calls and TomTom (via BT GPS). I had AT&T block all data so he can only use wifi.
It works great! when his wifi is turned off and he tried to go to the web it says connection refused.
Thanks for the input guys, but nodata don't seem to help me. It's the software I use now, but it seems that somethign is able to override the nodata software leading the phone to dial up when the wifi connection gets a low signal.
I'll give the Advanced Configuration Tool a go, but it seems to be a lot of work going in there turning things off, just to go back and activate them again if I want to check my mail "in the field".
I have an at&t Fuze with no data plan, just unlimited text/mms. I cannot disable data by using Modaco's NoData because mms requires Media Net.
What I have done so that all apps use WiFi is the follows:
Under Start / Settings, select the Connections tab.
Launch Connections.
Select Advanced tab.
Click on Select Networks.
Under Network Management, change "Programs that automatically connect to the Internet should connect using:" to "My Work Network".
With this setting, I don't have Internet connection unless WiFi is active, which is what I want. Maybe the Touch Pro has something similar.
Thanks icwinner, that seem to have made the trick.
I have at&t service with the HTC Fuze and I downloaded this 2.1 Edition of manila. I am now (after downloading and installing) having a problem connecting to the internet.. Please tell me the media net settings nd stuff that actually works.. what about proxy settings?? and it won't let me turn on the data connection in the wireless manager saying, "cannot connect for an unknown reason. To check your connection settings and change them if neeeded, tap settings...". If you know a solution please help.. I also have the NATF v4.5S ATT WWE rom... so should I have the proxy settings on and off option thing that's available on the menu like on the BJ2?
Much Appreciated in advance...
There is a cab floating around that can automate this process of setting up your phone for ATT.
I would actually go get the official HTC ATT Rom update and use that to get back up and running, I do believe it has the newest manilla in it (I could be very wrong about this).
I use RRE roms so they are setup for ATT already.
Under connection settings...manage existing connections... I have only Media Net as a cellular line (GPRS, 3g) at access point name 'wap.cingular' with user name [email protected] and password ? with no domain present. Under advanced it is Use Server Assinged IP and that is it.
Go to Settings\Connections\Connections\
Click on manage existing connections and go to Proxy settings.
Take out any proxy and check 'connects to the internet' and uncheck 'uses proxy'.
Click okay and in previous screen go to Advanced\Select Network and set both to MediaNet.
This should resolve any connnectivity issues.
