Is it normal for the GPRS symbol to appear in the top taskbar when the XDA2 is in the cradle?
Is this using any GPRS traffic?
Also, can anyone recommend a good (preferably cheap/free) GPRS counter for the XDA2?
TIA!
sure it's ok. (if you allow your ppc to use the net connection through docking station via active sync.
why should the ppc use the slow gprs connection if the fast line of your pc is available as well.
your second question: spb grps monitor is your friend

hi
with mda2 at wm2003 I had after click at G (or signal strange button) posibility to connect to gprs, at wm5 this option is gone, it only show settings link. Should it be changed?
I've the same question.
thanks
Why? The wizard connects when you start any application that requires gprs access and keep the connection as long as you don't end it. What would be the value of connecting when it isn't used anyway?
Hi all,
I've got my Qtek 9000 since a week and it's a dream-device.
I've got a small "problem". When I connect through WiFi to the internet and I Sign-in to MSN, after a period, I disconnect and it often happens that my device automatically connects to GPRS (costs me €€!!) without asking me... :? I guess that's MSN who tries to connect again to the internet.
I was thinking about 2 different possible solutions, but they are only workarounds. I created a dummy GPRS-connection through IrDa that is set as default. When MSN want to connect now, it does not cost me €€
I could also use a Taskmanager to kill the MSN en Internet Explorer after using WiFi, but isn't there a clean way to ask before connection to GPRS?
Thanks in advance!

Try using an app manager or menu system (I use SmallMenu from Tillanosoft) to kill MSN PROPERLY - using the WM5 "ok" button merely puts it into the background so it'll still attempt to connect.
the dummy GPRS connection is a reasonable idea though.
You could use "GB-SOFT Tweak". It has an option to "Turn off GPRS if device not used for xxxx (h:m)" and another one to show a disconnect button in the GPRS bubble.
That way you can choose when to turn GPRS off. Saved me some €€ already

I've recently migrated from a Magician (O2 mini WM2000SE) to a
Prophet (i-mate JAMin WM5). On the Magician, I could manually start/stop a GPRS session by tapping on the "G" icon and selecting connect/disconnect. The Prophet/WM5 does not seem to work this way, I guess because the device also has WiFi.
I cannot find any way of manually starting a GPRS session. Can anyone elighten me?
Hi @ all,
I'm asking myself if it is possible to monitor gprs data transfer of my phone, when it is used as a modem with a notebook.
I am able to choose the monitored connection in spb gprs monitor, e.g. eplus gprs. And there are two more connections: USB and infrared.
When I establish a connection to internet from my notebook via the phone, spd gprs monitor doesn't recognize that and does not monitor the transferred data.
Probably someone knows how it could work...
thanks for help
hi...
All U need is IP Dashboard 1.9 from www.hudsonmobile.com try it it got everything to monitor.
Thank you very much. I'll have a look on this tool!
I access internet on my laptop by connecting it to wizard through bluetooth dialup. I have a GPRS connection setup on wizard and I dial *99# through laptop.
Is there a way I can monitor the speed and/or bandwidth usage on the wizard while connected through laptop. I tried SBP GPRS monitor, but it just works fine if I access internet only through wizard. When I connect though my laptop, it doesnt even say I am connected, though infact I am.
I have subscribed to a 100MB package but just monitoring the GPRS usage on wizard isnt enough for me, as most of my browsing is through laptop.
Is there a way, please let me know.
I was under the impression that SPB could be set to monitor the GPRS through a particular settting?
I have mine set to "o2mobileweb" and yes it monitors it on the phone, but I thought that it would monitor the connection, not where the initiation came from.
I'll try it and see.

Yup, I have pretty much the same setup. The problem is that when i connect through laptop, SPB doesnt identify the connection at all, nor do I get a GPRS connected symbol on the phone. However, on the laptop side its all connected and I can browse. It looks like *99# doesnt invoke the "mobileweb" or whatever connection we set.
Any other softwares that can monitor this traffic too ?
