I have a Dutch Vodafone GPRS subscribtion. Everything worked fine on the old software, but since the update to R2B025 I constantly have to turn my phone off and on to be able to use GPRS again. I do have GPRS reception all the time by the way, but when I want to load a WAP page it constantly says "Connecting..", after that nothing happens. On my T68i, also with R2B025, I also have the same problem.
does anyone else experience the same? It's really annoying having to reboot my phone every few hours. I hope some softwareupdate will solve this.

No problems with new R2B025 (MMS) software ... it seems to be even more faster than R2B013 that was also very fast!

BUT I had this your absolutely the same problem with old R1A software ... there was some HARDWARE problem in phones radio part as said in the SC report. IT was a lot of month ago with mine brand new T68m phone with R1A SW ... after (mine phone) being in SC (service centre) for 2 days I got it back with new "radio part" and R2B013 SW (now R2B025 after update to MMS) and it works fantasticaly now (already for a couple of months) - no bugs, no problems. Thanks to SE!

I have excactly the same problem as you. I think it would help with a master reset, but I haven't bothered yet.

Well I have a brand new T68m so a master reset wouldn't make a difference I think. My T68i also has the same problem so I thought it might be the software. I don't think there's a fault in the hardware, or am I wrong?

Before I got the MMS upgrade, I had problems with sending SMS'. Quite often, maybe each fitfh message couldn't be sent. A master reset solved it all. And I think it will help about the GPRS as well.

Ok I'll try a master reset then, but since my T68m is new I don't know what difference that would make. But it never hurts to try though.
Thanks for the help!

Tell me how it works. If it does any good, I'll try as well If not, I guess you should take it to your SP...

I have no problem after the upgrade, have used the GPRS for more than 3 hours yesterday- very stable.

yes once i can connect it is very stable indeed. but the problem is I often can't connect. A master reset won't help either, i think it's very likely to be a software problem.

mine also has that problem from time to time, and I'm also on NL Vodafone.

But it already had the same problem with R2A014, I'm going to try a master reset soon, let's see if that helps...

I'm also on NL Vodafone, I already contacted the GPRS helpdesk. They told me it was probably a software bug.
a master reset won't help. I already tried that.
