Ipaq h6315 network connectivity

Archived from groups: comp.sys.handhelds (More info?)

I have an Tmobile h6315 that doesn't want to connect to the gprs data
link. The phone part work but when it tries to connect for data it searches
for ever. I have tested the sim card in another machine (treo) and it
works, and the treo sim card in the h6315 has the same symptoms (phone
works, data doesn't).

I did try a hard reset, and the phone still works, but the data connection
still never succeeds. This looks like a setup problem, but inspite
of looking closely through all the setup options and playing with them
nothing makes any difference (except I can stop the phone part from
working too :-).

The wifi part does work fine.

Any suggestions?

thanks

Alan

I was having sporadic problems connecting with my 6315 after changing
to the alternate address it's connecting much better.

Thanks
