GPRS Connecting at startup!

Have searched for this and find nothing:
Whenever I restart my TyTn, GPRS connects automatically. I have not configured my email to check for mails at specific intervals. Please help me with this. Thanks!

I think your connection is configured as "always on". You can change it in the registry....

Indeed, or if you're not confident about changing registry use something like Tweaks2k2 to make the change for you along with lots of other little tricks.

You could try a less drastic approach:
Check:
Settings, Connection-tab, Connections, Advance-tab.
(hope this is correct, I don't have an english rom-version)
There you should be able to select which connection is automatically used. I have this on T-Mobile default connection since I have an unlimited dataplan and use direct-push.
When using the phone as modem, I have to switch this "off"/different setting eg. work connection to avoid conflicts.
Hope this helps

We like drastic, drastic is sooooo gooood!!
Seriously though the originator does not say he does not want to use GPRS only that he does not want it starting automatically. So the connection type maybe correct only it needs its bottom smacked for running off without daddy. We have ways in the registry to control such dis-respectful behaviour and baby Hermes must be punished or else get sent to bed with no active sync with Mummy.

Thanks for your help. I am quite comfortable with editing the registry. What specifically in the registry should I edit. Thanks!
EDIT: I already FOUND it! Thanks for the help everyone!!!

Solved: Network connection when in cradle

Not sure why it's not working, but until yesterday (when I was still using Windows 2003SE on my XDA2S) my XDA2S made a network connection as soon as I put it on the cradle. When I used IE to access a website all was working fine.
Now when I try to do this with my just new flashed WM6 setup, I can not get it to work.
My router does give IP's out (with DHCP).
I've even tested it with a fixed IP (same range as rest of LAN) and gateway in the NE2000 Compatible Ethernet Driver (start > settings > Connections > Network Cards > "NE2000 Compatible Ethernet Driver"), but also with no luck.
The main OS that I'm using is Vista, but I did not change a thing in this.
(firewall off)
Doing a sync of the PDA is no problem, and I can even see my other PC's on the LAN when I use Resco Explorer's > "My Network".
Wifi is also working fine.
When I ping the PDA from Vista by "Device name", I do get a reply back, but the IP shown is not one that should be in my LAN.
It's 169.254.2.1. My LAN is all in the 10.0.0.1 / 255 range.
Anyone here who might know what I'm doing wrong?

i got the same problem...on my wm5 i wass entering my network with wi-fi but im not very good knowing networks...so maby someone who can solf this can tell us..
regards

Same problem here!
This is no help to you but I have the same issue
On WM2003SE I only had the 192..168.0.x IP address, now on WM6 I get them both
This seems to cause conflict when I try and update RSS feeds whilst cradled, any ideas anyione
And yes I have read the Wiki to no avail ...

That will not work, see below.

That is correct.
With WM5/6 and ActiveSync, the BA is given a private IP in the 169.254.2.x range, and ActiveSync acts as a bridge between the rest of the network and the phone.
Your router will not hand out an IP to the phone when it's connected to the computer via USB. WiFi is a different situation, and would get an IP from your router assuming it associates with your wireless LAN.
Look under:
settings -> connections tab -> connections control panel -> advanced tab -> select networks button
Make sure that "programs that automatically connect to the internet" has a network selected that has the 'this network connects to the internet' box checked under proxy settings.

Thank you for your reply jdc,
Unfortunately this did not work for me.
I've got under the Connections > Advanced [Select Networks] the following:
- My ISP
- My Work Network
When I hit the My ISP [Edit] button I end up on the Modem settings, and I see only my GPRS connection.
The only two tabs available at the bottom are General and Modem
When I hit the My Work Network [Edit] button I end up in the Modem tab.
Nothing is in this. Other tab's that I see are General, VPN and Proxy Settings.
In the Proxy Settings I do see the "This network connects to the internet", and I'm able to select it.
Problem is that as soon as I hit OK to close "Settings" and go back to the settings again the "This network connects to the internet" is un-selected again.
I'm about to give up on this project.. Who needs internet anyway when the PDA is in the cradle..

Did you get any message or error when you try to browse with PIE?

Yes I get a "The page you are looking for cannot be found due to unknown error 0x80072f78" error.
Googling for 0x80072f78 does show a lot of info, but till now no fix for me.

I had the same error, and i fix it with change this registry:
HKLM>Software>Microsoft>Windows CE Services
and change the AllowLSP dword to 0
Now, i'm using XP Pro, not Vista...

Are you talking about the registry of the PDA?
If so, I do not have AllowLSP in it!
This is what I have in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > Software > Microsoft > Windows CE Services.
+ Partners
+ Production Registration
(Default)
ExcludeExts
NoSubFolderIn
RasTimeoutResponse
Restriction

Nop, registry on PC

But, as i said, XP Pro and ActiveSync 4.5

Understood, and in Vista AllowLSP can not be found anywhere in the registry (it must be an ActiveSync 4.5 setting).
To go back to XP for only this, is a no go for me..
Thank you for your help.

From this forum:
http://www.aximsite.com/boards/activesync/137666-fix-unknown-error-0x80072f78.html
it looks like the reg patch is working on vista home premium as well.
You can try it, and revert back (delete registry entry) if isn't working.

Looks like the patch is manually adding the "needed" AllowLSP.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows CE Services]
"AllowLSP"=dword:00000000

I'm going to run it now, and will do a reboot of my OS.

Yes, and now with the new WM6 and the "skin" than I'm using it does look new again.
Only problem that I'm having now (not related to this topic) is that sometimes I can not get WiFi to go on.
It does turn on, but right away off again also :/
Whatever way I try to set it to on.. No luck.. And than all of a sudden it's fine again..

Old problem since WM5, switching wi-fi on is tricky sometime. Has also happen to me on WM2003SE; probably the wi-fi driver isn't the best part from BA.

Thanks!
DANDANA - I'd have your babies if only I didn't hate children, thanks for the tip, it works perfectly!
XdaIIs - the WIFI thing is known about and somewhere on the forum there is a workaround. Sorry, I've lost the link :-(
Thanks again, I'm a happy bunny now!

how to disable GPRS

Any way to disable gprs in the handset. Some of my applications are using gprs for updating and my service provider is charging me like anything. I have wifi and want to use that alone for data... is there a setting somewhere which will help me in disabling GPRS
i tried the nodata ( nogprs) application but its not working for me
Gopu

Do you need GPRS at all? If not, go to Settings->Connections->Connections->Manage existing and delete everything.

Setting > Connection and select "my work network" as internet connection instead of your provider's one.
You can change it back anytime you need to really use GPRS

In the registry you’ve got the following key:
HKLM\Comm\ConnMgr\Providers\{7C4B7A38-5FF7-4bc1-80F6-5DA7870BB1AA}\Connections
Export this key to enable GPRS later on.
Go inside your data connections and you’ll find a key, “Enabled." This key has a value 1, change this for every connection to 0.
There, you're done.

You could try to go to the Comm Manager and disabling "Phone" and activating Wi-Fi.
Hope this helps!

Try the Moto Toggle Widget on the market. Requires root, but works

How to disable GPRS connection failure notification?

I have asked my phone company to disable my GPRS access already and I have a wireless router to use Wi-Fi. However, I must admit that the constant attempts by Windows Mobile to connect my GPRS which always result in a failure notification is rather annoying.
Is there a method to disable these notifications?

Reg edit
There's a registry edit that will disable the automatic connection, or if you have advanced configuration tool you can do it there. If you don't have advanced configuration tool you can download it here.

I use pre-pay, and as the data charges are high, I only use wifi. I use an app called nodata. It lists your GPRS connections, and allows you to disable them so that they won't be used. I got this app from crc's device update, but I'm sure you could find it easily.

Oh, I recently upgraded my phone's OS to Schap's WM6 Pro, so it came with the OS. I did as you asked (disabled the auto-attached for GPRS), but unfortunately, it didn't seem to work as it continued attempting to connect, and the notification still appeared.
Thank you to you for responding. I appreciate the help!

You mean MoDaCo NoData? Oh yes, I installed the app, and used it to toggle the GPRS off, and you're right. It worked perfectly and the message does not appear to be coming up anymore! Thank you so much for you help!

[Q] Simple software to automatically disable GPRS/UMTS data while roaming?

Hi out there,
searching for a while now. Found nothing, but CommMgrPro which is way to much.
I search for a simple software to automatically disable GPRS/UMTS data while roaming and enable it back when logged into my provider again.
Would be nice to have more than one "home" provider.
Any hints? Thanks and happy holidays.

the simplest way is change your mobile while roaming
i was surprised that my htc touchpro activate
data communication automatically while i
had disactivated data com before.

Modaco NoData

Thanks. At least a simple way to enable and disable.
My problem is that i live close to the boarder (germany/france) and that i flip into roaming here really fast.
An automatic solution is needed very urgend.
Locking to my provider is ok, but the htc asks me what provider to join, when back.
All that sucks.
I cant believe that there is no solution.
Is CommMgrPro able to handle that?

Nobody?
Nobody else who got this problem and nobody who got a solution?
Is CommMgrPro able to handle that? The documentation is bad.

Maybe you can PM danielherrero.
He's the creator of CommMgrPro.

I am very interested in this as well - and from my searching seems a lot of others would be interested in an automated system.
My network provider automatically roams to another specific provider when in a non-coverage area (small pockets within metro areas and rural). The problem is that the data cost when roaming is ridiculous. I use Push Email for work and while on roaming want GPRS access to be disabled until I am connected back with my provider.
I've installed NoData by MoDaCo which is good but this requires the user to remember to enable/disable GPRS.
*EDIT*
I found exactly what I needed after a more searching - Wombat's PhoneRoam Script (Stay Connected to High Speed Networks Only). Will see whether it does the job

I agree to have more that only one network provider. Here in Belgium we can subscribe to Vodafone passport that enable to use "free" of charge the data on any Vodafone network, but when I go in France it switch to other provider and in that case my push mail is expensive... I'm also in the boarder of France.
So basicaly :
1/ A very very simple prg that disable the data automatically if roaming.
2/ A version 2 that would put all permited network provider even if roaming.
Thanks

This thing exists for the iPhone. Its a simple switch in the interface.
You can select "Data-Roaming" on/off, thats all.
Where is it in WM?

Modaco is fine but when you are at the border is quite difficult to follow your carrier and disable data time by time...or even remember you are switching to another country after few km and you always have one app trying to connect (Tomtom, weather, opening a mail...)
Modaco it's what I use actually but let me forget stressing an unwanted roaming data connection...
a+

Used NoData and application is still able to connect...
Hi,
I switched off all data connections in the registry (using frost Advanced Config, than also tried NoData) and in general windows mobile apps aren't able to connect... but I have a one third party application, which is somehow able to ignore that and connect even when the data connection is toggled to DISABLED...
Any ideas how to REALLY disable data connections (for roaming)...

here is the automatic solution http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=503131
this will automatically disable ALL data in roaming and re-enable under home provider without any user configuration - nothing to toggle
