Hi all
I've been told that in WM2003, it's possible to programmatically create a GPRS connection using the connection manager API while supressing the GPRS connection bubble.
This is exactly what I need to do, but I have not been able to find out how to do it - been trawling through the msdn site for hours! Does anyone know how to do this?
Cheers

Connecting suppressed... but not connection failed...
OK - well i've managed to suppress the connecting balloon now by using the priority CONNMGR_PRIORITY_HIPRIBKGND but I haven't managed to suppress the balloon which pops up if the connection fails...
Any ideas anyone?
You can set this from Settings -> Sounds -> Notifications. There is a CCheckbox for 'Display message on screen' for event 'Connection Established'. Therefore there must be a registry setting.
I think this is in the Registry under:
\HKCU\ControlPannel\Notification\{8ddf46e7-5ded-4750-9e58-afc6ce486d03}\Options
Options = 0, no popup.
Options = 8, do popup.
But this is not tested!!

Not quite
Unfortunately, while this may suppress the "Connected" pop up, it doesn't suppress the "Cannot Connect" pop-up!
Thanks for the idea tho!
Follow up
can anyone advise if a resolution to this was ever found? (running ppc2003se)

Hello everybody,
I live and work in densely congested WiFi areas. So whenever I switch on my WiFi connection to use it, I keep getting bombarded with the message "multiple networks detected" which i then have to hide only to be hit with another five seconds later. It is seriously annoying and makes anything I have to do over WiFi very painful.
I have discovered PocketWinc which is a serious improvement on navigating WiFi networks. I would love to simply use PocketWinc as my network selection and disable any of the in-built capability. Does anyone know how to stop the built-in software from scanning and reporting new networks? Is there a registry setting to disable the automatic scan or at least to stop the dreaded popups???
Any help greatly appreciated. Thx. Ian
I am not 100% sure about this but check your registry under :
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\WLan\StringTable
Check the value of the item called "Recover WiFi".
If it is not set to 0, try setting it to zero.
Is this anygood?

I think that application just does what I specified above.
It can also completely diable WZC Wireless if you want to use another program to manage your wireless connection.

I just checked and I don't have a WLAN service shown under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services. In fact I checked through the whole registry and I couldn't find anything resembling something WiFi ' ish. That said I am new to the PPC registry.
P.S. I am on Windows Mobile 2003SE if that makes any difference.
Anyone know what registry setting I change in WM2003SE to disable the WZC since I don't seem to have the one mentioned above? Or can anyone confirm that WZCDisabler will work on WM2003SE?
Thanks again!
Ian.
I am also on Windows Mobile 2003 SE on a BlueAngel.
What device do you have ?
I am surpirsed you don't have this setting.
It is likely that the WZCDisabler will work but it disables ALL of WZC, not just the popups.

Its an HTC Magician using a SanDisk 256Mb+WiFi SD Card. Here are the registry entries under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Services:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\BTAGSVC]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\BTIcon]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\CallerID]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\HandsFree]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\HTTPD]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\HTTPD\Accept]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\HTTPD\Accept\TCP-443]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\HTTPD\Accept\TCP-443v6]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\HTTPD\Accept\TCP-80]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\HTTPD\Accept\TCP-80v6]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\MSMQD]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\OBEX]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\RPS]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\ScreenRotate]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\SMSReceiver]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\Trusted]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\USSD]
BTW, I don't mind disabling WZC alltogether as I believe PocketWINC gives me the equivelant.

It's possible that your don't have WLan setting because you are using this SD WiFi card.
Did the card come with any drivers or utilities to install for managing wireless connections ? It could be this rather than WZC that is creating the popups.
If my memory serves me right, when I had my Blue Angel and wanted to manually connect to GPRS, I could click in the "G" icon in my title bar and I would get the option to connect to the GPRS setting that I had set up.
Now I have a T-Mobile Vario and WM5 - standard build etc..., but when I click that "G" I get the same message bubble titles "connectivity" , but with a message saying "To connect to either the internet or work, set up a new connection in Settings". Using the "connect" button in the SPB GPRS Monitor icon (on the title bar) connects with no worries.
I have tries adding a new connection in - now I have 2 that work perfectly when usign SPB, but not with the "G" icon.
Clicking the "G" icon must read the registry somewhere and look for the current GPRS settings, but I must be missing them.....hmmmm
HKLM/Comm/ConnMgr/Destinations/Providers........ all seems ok, but the "ConnectionGUID" specified in my connections is not found anywhere else in the registry!
Can anyone help?
thanks

I am also facing the same problem .. Cannot get the option to connect appear as in my previous Blue Angel ..
This creates problem for updating my RSS channels using SPB Insight which needs to have some connection in Connectivity bubble ..
Anyone found the solution?
Hi
If I change a gprs setting connection in the registry is not shown up in the connections window on wm5.
I do a soft reset and still not showing up...if I go into settings connection and make up a new connection setting it tells me that the name already exists ..... anybody seen this before?

Sup,
I'm having trouble connecting to my wireless router with my Qtek 9000 Windows Mobile 5.
Technically it is connected, but no webpage loads. It's a netgear wireless G router with the settings set to b/g.
I tried in both, PIE and Opera.
I tried with "Phone" on and off to see if that makes a difference.
I get an error message in PIE:
"The page cannot be displayed or downloaded because the connection was
lost. Check the connection and try again later."
Google is the only page that loads, but I think because its cached?
I get this message when I try a search:
"The page cannot be displayed because the server could not be found or a DNS error occurred."
The error I get in Opera is:
"Could not connect to proxy server
http://mail.google.com/mail/"
when connecting to gmail.com.
Please, any help?
Edit:
I have another problem too. Youtube worked in Opera with Flash Player 7 PPC except the video loaded like the first 29seconds and then stopped. When I would play what was loaded, it would lag play and then go to the replay/share screen.
I also tried the FlashVideoBundle + TCPMP combo. With the combo, I tried with and without Flash7 installed and it doesn't work at all on PIE. I would get a "Video not available" error when clicking on a search result on Youtube.
So if anyone has a solution for this problem too, please advise.

Go to the Connections Tab in settings,
Then click the Connections icon
Click the advanced Tab
Click Select Networks
Change both Drop Down Menus to "My ISP"
Click OK till you get to the Home Screen and try accessing a webpage...
I hope This Works
But wouldn't that mess up my GPRS settings?
BTW, thanks for the reply.
Dude, it worked! Awesome!
So if I have to use T-MobileWeb (tzones) GPRS, I just switch both back to work?
BTW Thanks.
Can not connect to Wifi after WM 6 upgrade
I just changed all my settings to MY ISP and I'm still getting connection errors
A Delayed Response
Sorry about failing to respond for a while...but, anywho... in the screen with the drop down menus...you're gonna want to set the first drop down menu to "My ISP" and the second drop down menu to whatever GPRS connection you use...respond with details if this fails to be of help
And...a response to Ol' Blake
The ISP setting that your attempting to change won't affect the failure to connect to certain wifi...some problems with the WM6 for the Jasjar prevent the device to connect to wifis with WPA security...I believe...I'm writing this through personal experience and what I have read in other posts...btw...is the wifi that you are attempting to connect to password protected?
Hi all again. How do I disable the Connecting Dialog Pop Up Display from showing when phone is connecting to 3G/Edge? Somewhere in the registry? Or is there a app that can tweak this setting?. Thanks
Add a 'Disconnect' button and Timer to the Connection List for GPRS/HSPDA:
Make the following changes in you registry:
HKLM\ControlPanel\Phone\
Add "Flags2 = 16" (DWORD decimal)
Next time try to search instead of open new thread....
And try to follow the link on my sign....
Actually I did a search first. Wrote "disconnect dialog" or "internet dialog connection" connection popup" "connection message"and got no result in my end. Will try better next time I guess. thanks.
