Hi,
I have a very strange problem with my HTC touch pro.
I have a data connection for just about everything (Edge, although I didn't disable 3G), but (might be a coincidence) ever since I installed opera mini and JZ smartmort my data connection only seems to work for opera mini, ebuddy (the 2 java aps I use) and tethering. Anyone have an idea what might cause this behavior?
TIA
EDIT: Strangely enough after having this issue for several days, almost a week, while just looking around in the connection settings (I don't even think I changed anything) it suddenly worked again... very strange, anyhow, thanks to anyone who tried to help

One of the bugbears I have with the TP is with Opera. I should state I'm operating in an area with a poor signal, generally one bar in HSDPA, switching over sometimes to 2G GPRS at two bars.
Most of the time I use facebook, and quite often Opera will crash out or hang. Sometimes this is bad enough that I cannot re-start Opera, nothing at all happens when I try this. Occasionally it will complain it has run out of memory, even though nothing else is running and the task manager at the home screen states memory usage is around 50-60%.
Once it has crashed, the memory usage stays high at maybe 45%+ even when nothing is running. A soft reset is the only cure, and the only thing that allows me to go back into Opera.
Is it just me or has anyone else experienced frequent crashes in Opera? I'm also wondering whether having a poor signal is partly responsible, it may be that if Opera is forced to wait too long or retry communications too many times, it gets upset or leaks memory.
Anyone?
Opera crashed
Hi,
Yes, I have encountered similar issue which I am planning to hard reset maybe caused by those 3th party apps installed keep u posted the outcome.
are you on t-mobile? untuick the box to stop it using the proxy, mine used to crash on secure sites like facebook login page or barclays. disabling the proxy tick biox worked plus you can start using msn messenger which was blocked with the proxy
Crashes for me too. I've installed a newer version, but it has the same problem. I get the impression that Opera isn't quite finished yet...
Yes I'm on T-mobile, and I've already unticked the proxy box, it was preventing me from using facebook at all.
I've always had the crashing problem, even before I installed any software, so I don't think a hard reset is gonna help.
my internet just stopped working yesterday. i tried resetting the phone to defaults but no luck.
anyone else using rogers have an issue?
i tried my sim card in my dad's phone (some sorta new Nokia phone) and i get internet.
ok i fixed it somehow. i connected 2 Cora's wifi and i got internet. i disconnected and then tried connecting to rogers edge network and now it works..
Same thing is happening to me. There's no wifi around the area but once there is I hope your solution works.
Went to connection settings and allowed the wizard to reset the settings and now it works....
I still get the problem.
Is rogers doing something to their internet? It used to work flawlessly and now it's intermittent. I connect to Edge but if I try to update the weather, it times out and I can't see any webpages using opera. But other times it works normally.
I think Rogers must be up to something or maybe an over load on the network?
Resetting the settings did not work for me. The internet just seems to work when it wants to.
Yea it seems to be intermittent for me also, especially for the weather tab.
Opera is pretty much hit and miss too.
hey guys,

Hi kincawine3
I have the same problem. I live in the Netherlands with Tmobile as my carrier, full data plan etcetera.
I installed android 2.2 my wifi works, my internet doesnt. It says 'connected', it even shows the right icons in the taskbar, but no internet.
I tried erasing my apn settings and resetting them and I tried factory settings but to no avail. I ringed Tmobile about it and (as was to be expected) they couldnt help since they suggested the above.
Help would be immensely appreciated.

First of all, make sure you're not set to a static IP (which i assume you're not).
You might also want to check a different kernel. I'm not familiar with the kernel used in your build so i couldn't tell you what to expect - but there are 2 kernels running for the HD2 (hastarin's and mdj's). you can try to use them and see if it helps. the older builds had problems with ppp which are now (more or less) fixed.
read the instructions on how to replace the kernel and let me know if you run into any problems.
Thanks Nir
Hi,
While i do not share the problem of no internet access, the connection drops off regularly. Why, but more practival how do I fix it?
I can often see the signal switching from 2G to 3G to HSDPA, perhaps this has someting to do with the connection going dead. Is there a way to keep the signal fixed on 3G? Like there is an option to only maintain 2G connections.
When i go to Settings and disable + enable internet access it works fine. Sometimes the connection goes dead every five minutes, sometimes rarely.
Facts: HTC HD2 WinMobile 6.5, Android 2.3 via SD card method.
Unlimited data plan.
regards from Netherlands
My HD7 worked without issue from the beginning of the year til around a month ago.
All of a sudden, my WiFi became extremely unreliable, sometimes taking an overly long time to recognise or connect to an obvious access point, sometimes finding none at all.
After I do manage to connect wirelessly, I see no speed increase in data transfer to suggest that the phone is even using the wireless link. Web pages sometimes load slower than over 3G. I had read that HD7s have trouble using certain WiFi protocols and adjusted accordingly, but the workaround was to no avail.
Additionally, once WiFi has been selected, I cannot switch it off. I am 'locked out' of the WiFi settings page. When I tap it in the menu it responds as if I've nudged it but it cannot load. The only solution is to remove the battery. On occasion, this stuck WiFi has also caused the capacitive buttons, camera and power switch to become inactive. Curiously, touch screen function seems unaffected.
I thought maybe this issue was tied to corrupt settings with my hub, but changing SSID / WEP key etc etc on my router hasn't fixed the problem, and connection to other open WiFi signals jam the phone just as badly.
I upgraded to Mango in the hope that a fresh OS update may 'rejig' my wireless settings into working, but again, no joy.
Anyone experienced anything similar? My final options seem to be factory reset the handset to see if that solves the issue, or return the handset to O2. (Both involve losing all my data, game saves, application data AND the recently delisted SW: Battle for Hoth permanently.)
Anyone got any other thoughts?
*EDIT* After a bit more research, I found that even when the phone has connected to a WiFi source, by turning Operator Data Service off, you can see that the WiFi service is in fact not doing anything.
I braved a factory reset, managed to whack WiFi on no problem, browser ran at appropriate speed, then everything crashed as per usual, I couldn't connect to the marketplace and had to pull the battery in order to use any of the capacitive buttons. I guess it was a hardware issue individual to my phone after all.
Guess I'll give O2 a ring sometime soon to sort a replacement. Not looking forward to losing all my game progress though it has to be said.
bro i m having the same exact problem havent find any solution yet i even tried to copy and replace the wifi files from another clean htc hd7 but useless when i upgraded to 7740 the wifi worked perfectly for 1 night only then at the morning it stopped working, everything else works great. my theory says that its not a hardware problem cz i used internet sharing which uses the wifi adapter (if i m right) so its a software I GUESS

I had the same problem as well, couldn't connect, got to the point where even the power button stopped responding. Hard resets would only help for a short time and enabling WIFI would never connect right and eventually get me back to the same problem. I then got a replacement device, but it's not much better, I still can't connect to any WIFI, but at least it's not freezing up on me. My solution thus far has been just to avoid turning on WIFI if at all possible, but it's far from a perfect workaround. I'm guessing it's the HTC WIFI driver that's got issues.
i got similar problem.. send phone to service problem was "circut board"
replaced working fine...
when i was using wifi my phone was freezing some menus stop working and i have to remove battery
Hey guys,
Really odd issue I ran into today...
All the sudden my data connection started to not work, chrome responded back to me with error 102, and other apps said there was no data connection, although there was a data connection shown on my phone.
However here's the catch...
Some apps still work with the data, such as flipboard (but only text, pictures do not show up) and the campus portal app (grade app) works perfectly, grades still update perfectly.
Even with wifi the problem is exactly the same..
Any thoughts on what happened/what I can do to fix it?
Any help is much appreciated
