Switching off GPRS

Hi is there anyway of switching GPRS Off wuithout turning the phone off?
I want to be ablt to use wireless at home however it constantly switches to GPRS - driving me mad. I have a 1gb allowance on my GPRS but i use that for my pushmail for office mails.
I would like to be able to surf at home usig WIFI, when doing this is there a setting (not connection manager) that can turn GPRS off when i am using WIFI?

If you set your WiFi connection as connected to the Internet instead of Work, and in the network adapters setting (settings, connections, network cards, network adapters tab) set that your network card connects to the internet, once you establish an internet connection with WiFi, it should kick your GPRS connection off. On my phone GPRS still tries to connect once in a while for some reason, but never does, since the WiFi internet connection just keeps kicking it off.

rassah's method is more professional than mine and better perhaps. I'm lazy so I just go to connections button below on/off button and then tap off the GPRS via button that looks like a PDA with two arrows. If GPRS tries to reconnect there should be a popup if you have wifi on that allows you to cancel it's reconnection. This does not disable the phone.

thanks - i will try this - do you know if this will affect the dirct push mail?

Just thought this may help, found it on Modaco.. Works a treat, just toggles gprs data on and off... Very easy and works
Not sure how OK it is to post links to other forums but as it is free software I guess I should be OK...

Just what I needed, going overseas next month, I don't want to use any data while there.

Why Blackberry connect automatically disconnect another connection

Hi everybody,
does anybody knows why Blackberry connect automatically disconnect another connection, Internet e.g.
On example, I want to check my pop3 mail, I disconnect blackberry connection,
and connect via INTERNET. During checking mail, automatically Internet disconnect, and Blackberry connect is connecting.
How to solve this??
thx,

You have to "suspend" the connection. BBC will auto re-connect its GPRS connection if you just disconnect it. You can suspend from Start-Settings-System-Blackberry Instant Email applet

thx, it works

Clearly you have the "how" question answered. If you were interested in the "why", it is because Internet access and Blackberry both uses GPRS but on different APNs. In order to access the different APN, the GPRS connection has to drop and reconnect.

GPRS acceptance before connecting?

SInce GPRS cost 15sek per mb here it is quite costly to accidently turn on the function. Is there any way to for software to ask for permission instead of activate the gprs automatically? Or that the gprs connection must be activace manualy before a connection can be established by the software?

This part can be easily solved: Go to the Advanced tab in Connections, and in the first list select 'my work network'.

So I have to change it to back GPRS each time I want to use it?

i do so, prankie, even if it is a bit annoying...

Hi You need this program MoDaCo_NoData.CAB it`s turn on or turn off the connection GPRS.
I found this on Modaco.com

I agree, MoDaCo_NoData.CAB is the best tool at the moment to switch the data connection on/off,

internet connection automatically closed?

Hello everyone,
if internet explorer is started and a website is required, the connection manager dials my isp by phone. that´s ok.
but what I would like to know is when does the connection manager close the connection? Or does it stay online until ISP closes connection?

the connection is more then 1 thing
there is the genral connection
and a socket connection the socket connection will live as long as ie
the general connection will live as long as the phone have network connection to the isp
and the user dont disable gprs/edge/3g themselfs
which is why the charge pr MB rather then by minuts

so if the user doesn´t close the connection, the connection will live as maximal possible ... uuuuuhhh
is there a way to close the connection by a program without user pushing a button?

id like to know this also

Press the "Call End" button and you should hear a beep, that closes the GPRS connection. You may have to press and hold the button.
Unless you set the registry key for continuous connection to GPRS.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\ConnMgr\Providers\{7C4B7A3 8-5FF7-4bc1-80F6-5DA7870BB1AA}\Connections\(GPRS connection name)\AlwaysOn
change the "0" to "1" and reset.

I have an issue reguaring GPRS

I'm using activeSync, and everything work perfekt...
as long as I've WLAN on, it uses it... but when I loose the WLAN connection (eg, I go away from home), activeSync uses my GPRS connection to sync my mail.
here lays the problem... after it have synced... it doesn't close down the GPRS connection... its allways stays "connected"... how come? or am I missing some options?
is there any way to shut down the connection manully? I would prefer to the connection do close automaticly after it has synced...:

Strange
There is no reason GPRS should stay connected after it finishes, it might take a little while to disconnect but it should disconnect all the same.
There are some registry tweaks to make sure but you will have to get a program like Advanced Configurtion to help.
Hopefully someone that uses cell data connections can be more help.

Well dear .. it's an easy thing to be fixed ..
Go to ActiveSync .. tap Menu . . Schedule ..
and then change it to " Manualy "
and that's it
