Activesync keeps trying to connect by itself (via GPRS)

Bit puzzled over this one!
For no apparent reason I keep finding my XDA-II has has automatically connected via WAP (GPRS) when not docked in it's cradle. This seems to be caused by Activesync (I get an error message that Activesync can't connect).
This even happens if I make sure all apps are stopped (except O2 Active) - ie: Activesync seems to be able to start itself!
Being that WAP is being activated, it would seem that it's connecting via the default setting in Networks "My Work Network" which is set to WAP
This concerns me because I don't know how much data is being sent over GPRS
Anyone had a similar problem?
Thanks

Windows Mobile email problem...can no longer send/receive

Hi, I'm hoping someone may be able to help:
I'm running Windows Mobile 5 on an O2 XDA Exec
I connect my device to the internet using 802.11b connecting to a wireless access point
I configured email for two email accounts,
One is a POP3 account and the other is a hotmail account
I've been able to send/receive emails from my mobile device as expected...up until today that is...
Just today I'm now no longer able to send/receive emails
I now get the following message on my device on attempting to send/receive emails
Cannot Connect
Cannot connect with current connection settings.
To change your connection settings, tap Settings
<Settings>
This message repeats itself. It appears the device is polling for a connection
Having done some reading on the topic
(here http://www.pocketpcmag.com/_archives/Sep04/VPNConnection.aspx) it appears that
somehow my connection settings are messed up.
Has anyone come across this problem and come up with a fix
I've always had the "My ISP" option set on both
"network management" settings (i.e. connections>advanced>select networks)
and this has been working fine up until today.
So for both the options in "network management", i.e.
"Programs that automatically connect
to the internet should connect using"
and
"Programs that automatically connect
to a private network should connect using"
I have "My ISP" as the connection setting
For reference, I'm able to establish a wireless connection to the internet
using the device and browse as expected (I'm using the Opera browser).
I've read the guide here (http://www.pocketpcmag.com/_archives/Sep04/VPNConnection.aspx) so understand why I might want to use the "My Work Network" connection option. I have no requirement for this so have set both connection options to "My ISP" and this has been working as
expected up until now...
By the way, on top of this MSN Messenger refuses to sign in (Pocket MSN sign-in failed)
and since this is linked to my hotmail email settings, I'm not able to send/receive any hotmail
Many thanks

Funnily enough had the same issue with mine today!!
Exactly the same - MSN, Email and Internet sites (like google wouldnt work)...however (as I have Orange M5000) the Orange WAP internet sites were fine.
I did so many things to try and get it to work (Not sure which one actually did it to be honest)
But I used the reg hack to keep data connected - that was the first to be disabled so now it connects then disconnects.
I also use Phone Alarm - This was causing me lots of problems so if you've got it check the options. With phone alarm i had entered my SIM PIN code - no good this had to be disabled - In fact phone alarm is now just switching profiles and is working fine as long as no security PINs are on or data connection monitoring/logging. Also just made sure for "Orange World" (My default Network) that the internet access point was correct.
...to be honest thats all I can think of - but its working now.
They are complicated devices and mine has given me more headaches in my first week than the 10 months i had with the Blue Angel (M2000)...still shouldnt complain too much the M5000 was a free upgrade.
Hope you get it sorted

how to stop auto connection of my gprs?

my cellphone load gets suck out most of the time because it connects to the internet on its own, is there a setting/program that prompts me first if i want to connect to gprs...
many thanks

Hi,
Your phone is most likely trying to connect to check your email. To prevent this happening, from your Inbox select Menu/Tools/Options. Click on your email account, press Next till you reach page 4 then Options. De-Select the box which says 'Connect and check for messages every:'
Hope this helps.

GPRS connection
I have a similar problem using exchange push email. I have established an Internet connection with WLan and checked that I can access my webmail (which is my Exchange mail). Despite this to update email the phone automatically connects GPRS - this is really annoying. I read once that this is set in the registry when one installs the operator customisations. Can anyone tell me how to change this?

this tool
http://www.gb-soft.cz/xdaII/
can be set to auto disconnect gprs after x seconds/minuts

GB Soft Tweak
Thanks for the suggestion.
I tried this and it doesnt seem to fix the problem. Although I am not excactly clear on the settings.
I tried the Turn Off GPRS option with a 5 min setting, trued Search GPRS [G] on start radio and Search [G] on start GPRS connection.
With regards
Jeff

TyTN doesn't use craddled "pass through" connection anymore

Hi,
I use the cradled connection to surf the web. Or i WAS able to do that. Now, whenever I do it, TyTN tries to dial out (connect to UMTS or GPRS).
I know this has been discussed earlier, but I couldn't find the thread. Is this fixable? I don't know what happened that caused it!
Thanks!
edit: I should state that I connect via "My ISP" and "MEdia Net". I tried switching this to "My Work connection", but nothing.

is there a way to strictly prevent no 3G or GPRS data

it is because i am worried that while roaming, the set may go on internet.. for example wayfinder..
tried the connection manager.. i switched data off.. but wayfinder just goes online itself..
any tweak or problem to enable me to :"lock" data access?

I have downloaded the "No Data" program from the below site and it works brilliantly, you manually go into the program and disable any connections you dont want active
http://www.modaco.com/content/xperi...4005/pauls-must-have-free-xperia-x1-software/

does it prevent the connection from becoming active or its only good for terminating connections after they connected>
cant seem to d/l it.. any direct links?
or anymore recommendations>

This program completly stops the connection being established in the first place. If you try to connect to the internet while the connections are disabled, you get an error message saying it wont connect to any networks and you have to enable that connection.
Sorry, i cant get any direct links at the min,

CommMgrPro lets you disable all the data connections automatically when your device is in roaming mode...

No Data works perfectly

No Data probably works 100% (haven't tried it), but here's what I do - go into Start --> Settings --> Connections --> Connections --> advanced --> Select Networks.
If your normal internet settings are called "My ISP", click new and create a blank group called "No Settings".
For both internet and work drop downs select "No Settings".
That way, when it tries to connect, it won't go through the "My ISP", but through "No Settings" (for which there aren't internet settings).
