I'm also using QTE 4.4.2, and I get this behaviour consistently after I configure a gprs internet connection. On Saturday I noticed it for the first time without trying to configure a gprs connection - but I'm not sure what triggered it. I normally try to reboot every couple of days, but hadn't

Hi all, Since my FR has been working as a pretty reliable phone since I installed QtE 4.4.2, I decided to get greedy and see if I could get GPRS working. Note that I've been lucky, and have never suffered from the buzz issues that I've heard so many people talk about. So on QtE, I went to the
