Data no longer working in 1.3.1 with vodafone / GSM / O2(DE)

Tried finding a similar thread on the forums, couldn't find one, so I'll start a new one. This issue has been discussed to some lengths on the PreCentral forums, but no solution has yet been found.
I'm using an unlocked German Pre in the Netherlands, with a (non-business) vodafone NL account. On 1.1.3 I was able to activate the phone using the metadoctor and enable 3G by changing the APN in the CarrierSettings database (as it has only the business vodafone one there). I had a properly working Pre.
When 1.3.1 came out, I applied the update and since,I haven't been able to get a working 3G connection. Neither the old way of modifying the CarrierSettings file, or using the new setting for manual APN settings works. I've enabled some debugging, and it seems during IPCP negotiations, the ConfReq id=0x1are never replied to by vodafone. 
This is my first Palm, and was really happy with it, and whilst I *am* aware I'm using the phone not quite as yet intended, I still do think this is a serious issue. Is there anyone here or @Palm who might have a clue what is going wrong? I am willing and able to modify/replace any of the relevant files and add/provide any logging required.
Help! Please :-)

Hi, Ozuzo.
I'm suffering the same problem here. Like you, I've bought an unlocked German Pre that I'm using in Vodafone Spain. I bought the phone at http://www.expansys.es, where they say the phone comes unlocked from factory, so I think it should be under support. Since 12/26 (at least), Ithe 3G connection is not working well. The phone is disconnected most of the time, but the signal comes from time to time.
I have entered the phone through novaterm, and I have found something interesting:

I think this firmware update is the culprit of the bad behaivoir, but it would be nice to confirm it with someone from Palm.

    I have had a 3GS for 2+ years.  After upgrading to IOS 4 (now 4.3.5) I began having problems.  In the past week, my screen went to the itunes logo and USB cable twice -- unprovoked -- just found it sitting there like that!  I connected to itunes and it did restore from a backup but it is a major inconvenience.  I am also searching for answers, but better back-up regularly!

    If your charger is defective, it will be replaced by Apple.  As to your warranty, here in the US the warranty on iPhone is 1 year.  I wasn't aware it is two years in Italy?

  • Search for User by last logon date no longer works after upgrading to SPS18

    We used to be able to Search by last logon date under User Administration as a quick way to find out who logged on for a particular date.  It worked well, but only for a single date range.  We were on EP 6.0 SPS13 at the time.  Since we have upgraded to SPS18, it no longer works.  All we get back now is no user found no matter what date we enter. 
    Has anyone else experienced this problem?  I've been searching and haven't found anything.  I wanted to try and get more information before I create an OSS message.
    Thank you,

  • "Documents & Data" no longer working as expected

    I've been using the "Documents & Data" feature in iCloud to great satisfaction - until now. After upgrading to OS X 10.10 and IO8.1, I'm not so happy anymore. It looks like a bug to me, but would  like others to comment on it.
    First of all iCloud Drive is not enabled and is not an option for the time being due to lack of support in iPhoto 9.6.
    As stated I use "Documents & Data" to share documents between by Mac and 2 iPads. And it's been working fine until the upgrade.
    If I create a new spreadsheet on one iPad it's available on the other, but not on the Mac.
    When I enter System Preferences/iCloud and select "Manage..." and then "Numbers" the spreadsheet created on the iPad is listed, but is not available when I do a File/Open in Numbers on the Mac.
    Comments please.
    PS If I create a new spreadsheet on the Mac and save it in iCloud, it's only available for the Mac, not the iPads.

    By browsing through several Apple "forums" I found that: If you've decided NOT to upgrade to iCloud Drive you can still share documents between IOS8 devices but NOT with MACs running OS X Yosemite. So I guess it's "working as designed", but if I may add: "Bad designed".

  • Is iPhone 4s data really not working, or is the problem with Fido?

    I've been struggling to get data working on a second hand iPhone 4S with a Fido data plan.
    We get the message "not subscribed to a cellular..." when opening safari or mail even though we have a data plan.
    After a few calls to Fido support they've said I need to call Apple because its a factory unlocked device, not a Fido phone.
    We've tried rebooting, toggling airplane mode, resetting network settings.
    The phone shows 3G in the top bar and picture messages (MMS) come through while not on wifi.
    Does that not show the phone is capable of receiving data?
    We have not gone so far as completely resetting the device yet as we won't be near the Mac it syncs with to recover music etc for a while longer.
    The phone was initialized from a backup of a jail broken/ unlocked 3G that probably had foreign APN info set up through unlockit at some point.
    Is there any way that info has found it's way onto the new phone?
    If so can we clear it out without completely resetting the device?
    Thanks for any pointers.

    The TV Out option only appears when connecting an analog video cable, such as the Apple Composite or Component AV Adapters; it will not appear when using the Apple Digital AV Adapter or the Apple VGA Adapter, as these cables do not require any additional settings.

  • Screen no longer works, help getting set up with external LCD?

    So my Titanium Macbook Pro's screen went out yesterday and it's no longer covered so I've been trying to figure out how to get it to work with an external LCD monitor.
    I can get it to boot up, and I can even get it to open itunes via Spotlight and hit play and hear music, so I know all else is (hopefully) fine.
    The monitor I have is an "Acer LCD Monitor AL1916W A" and I have the adaptor going out of my MBP to a VGA cord that then connects to the Acer.
    I read this page to get the idea to do this: http://osxdaily.com/2010/12/21/broken-macbook-pro-screen-turn-it-into-a-desktop- mac/
    But I cannot get the Acer screen to recognize the MBP and show an image. The Acer powers up and shows it's logo but then says 'no signal'.
    I tried to blindly Spotlight > System Preferences > Displays but can't get anywhere from there. I tried to restart it and close the screen but no-go.
    Help?

  • One website no longer works correctly. O'k with IE. Recent updates to FF18, Flash 11.5.502.146 & Win 7 (64 bit)

    www.dallastown.net school web site no longer loading images/info correctly. Works ok with IE.
    Can maneuver around some by right clicking and opening in new tab. "Select a School" drop down is a specific problem area. Some times numerous clicks of the mouse will open the page properly. Still run in to problems with no response from a click or missing info.
    A number of updates occurred recently, not sure where problem is. I currently have Java disabled, but tried with it enabled and no help. Uninstalled & reinstalled FireFox (18), no help. Thinking maybe a problem with FF 18 and Adobe Flash, but not sure what to do.
    I appreciate any help you may offer.

  • My I tunes shortcut no longer works. I tried reinstalling with no luck.

    I am having issues with I tunes. I click on the shortcut, I get a message stating that the short cut doesn't work. Would you like to delete? I tried re installing, I tunes will not install (windows Error 126)

    Well, it's not really clear what the current situation is. Presumably (since you mention re-installing iTunes), instead of deleting the shortcut, you have uninstalled iTunes. But now, when you try to re-install iTunes, something goes wrong.
    Ignore any "shortcuts" on your desktop. Look on the Windows/programme menu and see if iTunes is listed. If it is, double-click it to see if it starts. If you're using Windows 7, use the Search programmes on Windows menu button to search for "iTunes". If iTunes is there and can be started, Windows will do that for you.
    If iTunes is not listed, download the iTunes programme but when you begin the install procedure, look for and use the Repair feature to see if your iTunes can be repaired.

  • Modem no longer works after trying to connect with...

    hi folks,
    i tried connecting to the internet via dialup with my 3210 over a ca-42 cable. it didn´t find a modem, so i selected my built-in modem as the one to use. Now, however, whenever i try to dial in to my isp connection over my builtin modem (on my thinkpad t43), i get a dialog popup telling me there is some hardware error in the modem!
    is this a known problem? any ideas what i can do? i´ve tried shutting down all the pc suite processes and reconnect, and i´ve disabled the pc suite processes from starting up automatically and then restarted, all to no avail.
    i´d greatly appreciate any input! thank you.

    fyi - i solved this by uninstalling and reinstalling my modem in device manager. perhaps all i needed to do was to clear the fields filled in with gobbeldygook by nokia's connectivity thing - not sure.

  • Dreamweaver 4 no longer working after downloading files created with MX

    I downloaded files that were created with Dreamweaver MX to
    my pc in order to update them for a new client. I've been using
    Dreamweaver 4 and now I cannot even open Dreamweaver 4. Luckily I
    also have Dreamweaver 8 installed and can view all the files in the
    site from there, but what would have caused Version 4 to generate
    errors upon trying to open? It starts to open and I can see that
    the properties panel is disabled and then I get the error message:
    "Dreamweaver has encountered a problem and needs to close. We
    are sorry for the inconvenience." I've sent the error report to
    MS...
    Any thoughts other than to use Version 8 from now on? Since
    I'm a designer, I do have quite a few client sites that I'd have to
    reset the remote site info for...
    Thanks.

    a guess- you also downloaded the .mno design note files.
    There should be a technote on this-
    It talks about contribute 2, but it's same exact issue with
    MX and newer
    Dreamweaver 4 crashes on Contribute 2 sites
    Issue
    Dreamweaver 4 crashes whenever it connects to a site that has
    recently been
    accessed by Contribute 2.0, 2.01 (Windows) and Dreamweaver MX
    2004.
    Reason
    Contribute 2 and Dreamweaver MX 2004 design notes on remote
    server or local
    site folder are not compatible with Dreamweaver 4.

    So basically if a iphone has a fault after the 1 year warranty period is over, there is nothing the consumer can do but purchase a new phone??
    Pretty much. Except that Apple will replace it for a fixed fee that is far less than the cost of a new phone. In the US the replacement cost for an iPhone 4 is $149. It is comparable in the UK. Unless you can prove that the fault was present at the time of purchase. A switch wearing out would probably be considered normal wear and tear, not a "fault".

  • Remote Desktop Connection no longer working

    Hi, I really hope someone can please help me.   I just switched from Comcast to FIOS and I can no longer remote desktop to work - so I'm not getting paid until I can get it fixed.
    The way that I was doing it before was to connect with a regular Microsoft VPN (I have Windows XP Professional), and then I would use Remote Desktop Connection to log into the work PC.  Since I switched to FIOS it no longer works on either my laptop with wireless or my desktop which is connected to the router. 
    The VPN seems to be connecting OK; it says it is and it is sending/receiving a small bit of data.  But when I open the the RDC and try to connect using the PC name it says that the computer cannot be found.  I tried to connect to the IP address of it (after connecting through the VPN) and then it says it's found but cannot connect.
    There is another location to which I log in using a Cisco VPN and then Remote Desktop - that still works just fine.  Nothing at work has changed; everyone else can log in with no problems, including everyone else with FIOS.
    I honestly have no ideas at all; this is not my area of expertise to say the least.  If anyone could help I would REALLY appreciate it!
    Thanks much!
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    It is a new Actiontec router. 
    I finally got it resolved; one of my coworkers suggested checking to make sure that the IP addresses were not in conflict, and they were.  So, if anyone else has this problem, what happened was that the new router was assigning IP addresses to my PC's at home in the 192.168.1.x range, which was also the server at work's IP address.
    So the really dumbed down version (for people like me!) is to open a command prompt on your desktop, run ipconfig /all, and then it will tell you your internal IP address.  (I was getting thrown off because the ROUTER'S IP address, which is the one you can look up online, was different).  If the PC's IP is almost the same as the server IP address, then you have to change the IP range on your router to something like 192.168.114.x.  There's directions if you google the router specs; I had to change it in three places on the router software; the router IP, the begin range and the end range.
    Thank you, jumpin68ny, for starting to help me.  Hopefully now this may help someone else!

  • Final Cut Express no longer working

    I just purchased a MacBook Pro refurb (2.33C2D) and I imported all my data and programs from my old iBook G4. Everything seems to have gone well, but Final Cut Express is no longer working and is requesting a serial number. I entered in the number I had for the version 4 upgrade I purchased (I also had bought versions 3 and 3.5 as well as some older ones too) and I don't understand why it is no longer working. It was fine with the iBook and it is a legal copy. I shouldn't have to re-install the whole suite AGAIN with all the older serial numbers just to get it working with m new MBP.
    Apple should have all my records of having purchased this software as I registered it each time. Can I please get a number that will work without having to go through this? Thanks for any help you can give

    It has nothing to do with piracy. The install puts in a number of system components which you can't install by transfer. The application has to talk to system components for QuickTime and for graphics support which have to know the application is there. Without installing the components and presets there is no way for these system elements to behave properly when addressed by the application.

  • Firefox no longer working with Multibox

    It works with current versions of IE and Opera.
    I reinstalled Firefox version 20.0 and that does not work either.
