MicroB can't connect when on GPRS
 
This is a rather odd problem, and I'm not sure how to go about debugging it.

  • When I connect through a local wifi network, everything works fine.
  • When I connect through GPRS, neither MicroB nor Opera will connect to the network at all, though ping (and, more to the point, Tear) connect just fine.
  • It's not a resolution problem; using a numeric IP doesn't work either
  • dmesg shows nothing; I'm not sure where else I should be looking

try putting sim in a different phone and using internet through gprs. could be your sim card or your provider (not saying it is.. but needs to be ruled out first)

Did you get an IP for gprs0 device?

type in XTerm
Code:
sudo gainroot
ifconfig gprs0
I don't know if it will help but mine looks like
Code:
gprs0    Link encap:UNSPEC  HWaddr 00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00 
          inet addr:XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX  P-t-P:XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX  Mask:255.255.255.255
          UP POINTOPOINT RUNNING NOARP  MTU:1400  Metric:1
          RX packets:341 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:394 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:10
          RX bytes:44557 (43.5 KiB)  TX bytes:25371 (24.7 KiB)

yes, i get an ip without any issues. ifconfig gprs0 looks fine, and i can ping sites both by ip address and hostname. i can even browse the web using tear. it's just microb and opera that don't work - microb just keeps unsuccessfully trying to connect to the site till i get a network timeout, and opera returns an instant "you tried to access the address .... which is currently unavailable".

i don't have another phone handy to test my sim card in, but since i can browse the web using tear, i don't think it's anything my provider is doing.

Your problem seems identical to the one which I had 2 month ago. I couldn't find solution, so I reflashed device. :(

okay, i got tired of trying to solve this and reflashed. note that it still did not work when i restored my applications from the backup, so there is definitely something that was interfering with it. i did a clean reflash and it worked, installing apps manually now. if it breaks again i'll update with the install that broke it.
