Connectivity Issue

So I was playing with my phone today and i started getting a "cannot connect" message.
Message is as follows:
Dialed: isp.cingular
Cannot connect for an unknown reaso. To check you connection settings and change them if needed, tap Settings. If problem continues, reset your mobile device according to your manufacturer's documentation and try again
Now - I haven't changed any server/host/proxy information. I setup the wep key for my offices wireless network but haven't really changed anything else. 3g internet appears to work but I get this message when I use things like the google maps app.. Any thoughts or links??

anyone...?

Alright.. did a hard reset and that fixed it..

Data connection error on startup

When I turn on my tp2 why does it always tell me data connection error. Click the settings link to set it up? I do not have any use for it and I always have to disable itinerary comm manager even though I already disable it. This drives me mad! I bleeping hate this.

Create a duplicate of the connection. i had this problem when i was using the wmwifi program and it somehow messed my connection up. i waqs on the phone with the verizon techs and they couldnt figure it out...of course i didnt tell them i was tethering bcuz i didnt wanna draw attention to my account. they had me do a hard reset to fix it...which it did but it wasnt needed....so
Go to Settings
Connection(Tab)
Add New Modem Connection
Enter A Name: you can put anything here but i guess "Verizon" would be proper
Select a Modem: Cellular Line , click (next)
Enter #777 for the number to be dialed
User Name: Your phone [email protected] Ex. [email protected]
Password: vzw
(finish)
set your phone to operate through that connection, hopefully that works for you

I want data connection off. I am so sick of it.

if you want it off i guess u can delete all your connections and it will prevent u from connecting. since the phone is programmed to operate on a connection you might always get a little ''eroor connection'' message i would guess
Go to Settings
Connection(Tab)
Manage Existing Connections
This was display all ur connections, tap and hold the connection and go to delete and that should do what your asking for...if you have no settings to connect with then your data connection shouldnt work(in theory it sounds right) its just something ive never did

You could try just programming the phone thru verizon (fixed my data error also), by dialing *228
...then pick option 2 and wait, it should fix up your data connection stuff

I currently have a PPC 6800 origionally with Alltel and now Verizon. I want to upgrade to the TP2. A person at the Verizon store told me that I have to have a data package or the phone will not work at all. I am not interested in a data package and use the phone for the WM applications and sync with Outlook. Right now I just have a voice and text package for my 6800 and I just want to keep it that way. Are they blowing smoke up my skirt or is that the real skinny?
I got the same line from the Alltel people when I bought the 6800 and it took 3 trips to the store and countless phone calls to support before they figured that out!

[Q] E-mail + WiFi + Data

Hi, I'm using Energy rom 21914.Sense2.5.Cookie.GTX.Aug.24 in my sprint TP2 since the release and today I'm experiencing a problem:
when connected by WiFi (with max strenght signal also) and trying to send or sync my e-mail, the phone will open a data connection instead of using the wireless one already connected!
The problem is that I have a very very limited data plan and since I'm usually connected by wifi this sucks...
The other apps, weather/opera/etc keep on the wifi connection and the only thing that opens a new data connection is the mail - by the mail tab and by windows live.
I also know that I could turn off the data connections with "Data Controller" or so, but I'm really upset because all was going well until today and now with no apparent reason it occurs this stupid thing!!
Anyone experiencing this or having a solution to get it back to normal?

Can I turn off data plan access on AT&T Smart Phone?

So I've had this HTC S743 for about 5 days and I thought I had it setup correctly to use wifi for data comm.
wifi enabled and selected to use my home network. I can see the radio tower status icon and my locally named network is also displayed.
Under the comm manager the data connection is off.
I have a very simple $45/mo plan with no monthly data plan.
Over the last 5 days I have been surfing the web a bit did some email tests with my ISP and used the on board GPS app which is horrible. Not heavy usage but experimentation to see if I like how the phone works.
After 2 days I get an email from AT&T that I have extremely high data usage exceeding my account limit (for having no monthly plan) and that I should sign up for a data plan at once.
$29 over 2 days for this little bit of fluff? A total of 2,900kb in data.
So I call up AT&T and they tell me this and that and want me to sign up for a plan which I may do. But I want to be able to know that the datacomm is happening via WIFI when I can see a selected WIFI is in service.
They also told me that all GPS data is forced through 3G and bypasses WIFI???
Can anyone here give me an idea about what I may be doing wrong and whether AT&T is correct about the GPS service?
Is there a better GPS app that doesn't do this? This one pretty much stinks anyway. A resolution of 1000 meters doesn't cut it.
AT&T also informed me that I can't have a smart phone without a data contract. Really? I've had one for 6 years like that but it wasn't WIFI capabale and too small to bother with web access.
Thanks for any light you shed on the subject.
One thing I have subsequently found out is that if data connection is off and WIFI is off then when I go into IE and start surfing it does bring up pages. Then when I go back to the Comm Manager the Data Connection to check the status of my connections it is still off for an instant and then it automatically turns itself on as though it had been turned on by use of IE and the status was just being updated.
Last night I installed a newer version of Google maps and was only able to install it via the web browser as opposed to via the Activesynch application on my PC. I was concerned that this might trigger turning on the 3G connection. So I had it set up for a WIFI connection ONLY and installed the app. Afterwards I went into the connection manager and once again the data conn. was turned back on so it's possible that it utilized AT&T's 3G network instead.
Is there any way to control or stop this?

GPS data doesn't have anything to do with 3G/Wifi data......

I know it's supposed to be positioning via the satellites through the GPS antenna but the the description data is coming over the network right? So it appears that even though I'm setup for WIFI access and it's showing as connected with an IP address etc. when I try the Googlemaps GPS app it turns the data conn. for 3G back on.
Thanks for chiming in ...
I have been copying over and installing some new apps to try out this morning via usb. WIFI is on and I'm loged in. None are datacomm oriented that I know of (unless they'r trying to make an internet access to notify about being installed) none the less I just checked again and my data conn. is once again turned back on. Is this typical behavior for a windows mobile phone (6.1) or is this just an AT&T "feature".

Sorry, I don't have a WM6 phone!

Keep losing data and getting a "sign into network" notification from AT&T

Keep losing data and getting a "sign into network" notification from AT&T
On my Galaxy S8, I consistently have an issue where when I turn my WiFi off, a notification pops up that prompts me to sign into the AT&T network. I lose all data connection when this happens, and tapping the notification brings me to a window that says either not to connect, or to try and connect anyway. Trying to connect always resorts in a failure. Restarting the phone is currently the only way to reconnect to mobile data. Does anyone have a potential solution for this?
