Hi all,
I have a time contract with my provider. It is based upon usage of 15 minutes time-slots of connection. However, if I open Outlook to check for new messages, the program automatically disconnets the UMTS session upon receiveng incoming mails. This means that if it takes , say, 40 seconds, I loose the whole time slots left. If I want to reply to a message, I have to reconnect opening a new session and wasting a second time lot.
Is there any setting or hack to the registry that can be made to fix this issue? I would like to manually disconnets when I am finished. And since I have a time contract, not a volume-based contract, I can't afford a GPRS/UMTS always on hack.
Thank you
alex
Set your mailbox to be on internet settings, not work settings. Both settings cannot coexist, and you will be disconnected as soon as outlook request the work connection.
work/internet connection
Thank you, but...HOW?
go in your mailbox, select menu - tools - options
Click on your mail account then next, next, next, next then options.

I did it. Thank you. Problem is:
if I manually connect to GPRS/UMTS (I have to go to the connection settings, look up the profile and tap and hold on it to open the menu. QUite tricky!) and then open the mail client everything works fine. It connects, check, receives and sends, disconnects BUT ACTUALLY doesn't. OK.
If I open the client and let it automatically connect by tapping the send/receive option, it checks, etc, AND ACTUALLY disconnects from the UMTS.
It's kind of weird!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How can it be possible not to have an option in the settings????
Please help me.
thank you all!

Hi
I hope you don't think me too much of a plank but I've recently bought an Xda2 and am confused as to the best method of getting my email's.
<sigh> not another idiot I hear you say but as far as mobile anything's are concerned I'm a dummy!
I don't want to dial into my ISP every time so if any of you 'Patient' people can help me set up my Xda, I would be most grateful.
Best Regards

It's quite easy providing you have a bit of information about your ISP.
Open your inbox - doesn't matter which one, active sync or SMS.
Use the Accounts -> accounts... menu option to open your accounts
Add a new one with the new button.
First settings page: Enter your email address
It'll now try and auto-configure your email settings. I have never known this to work, so hit the skip button.
On the next screen, enter your name as you want it seen, and your ISP's username and password (check the save password too).
I presume this is a regular POP3 account, so leave POP3 selected on the next page, and give it a name - this will eventually appear as a new set of inbox/sent items/outbox/drafts once you've finished configuring things.
Next page, enter your ISP's incoming mail server address, probably [email protected] or [email protected].
For outgoing mail - and I'm presuming you're with o2 here, use smtp.o2.co.uk. Outgoing mail servers usually only allow people to send mail when they are logged on, so your ISP's outgoing mail server will not allow you to send mail if you're connected via o2 gprs. To send mail via the usual GPRS connection, this must be o2's mail server. Leave the domain blank.
Click the options button and on the options page select whether you want to check for mail periodically (Note, due to a crap design decision at microsoft, only the set of email folders that was most recently viewed is synchronised). Select "The Internet" as the connection (presuming you want to use GPRS or Internet passthrough, and you haven't change the default O2 connections).
On the next options page, leave each checkbox blank, and on the final page you can opt to receive whole messages or just the header + a certain amount of included message body.
Once you click finish, things should start working, and you should be able to select the new ISP's inbox, write messages, and send them with the icon at the bottom of the screen.
Let us know if you get into any problems.
Much obliged to you A.C
I will give it a go thanks for your patience!
Best Regards
Ian G
Set that up ok A.C
Now I get "Unable to connect: you have no modem entries created and no network card present"
What do I do now A.C - bearing in mind that I haven't entered anything into the Xda2 yet, only got it this afternoon!
Thank you
Ian G
PS - I would want to connect GPRS (I Think) <embarrased smile>
If you dont have any modem connections in settings/connections/manage existing connections, you will have to create one, tab new give it a name, chose celllular line gprs, tab next , acesspoint name! dont know about UK settings but here its: internet, tab next , well dont know what to use in your network, here we dont need to fill in anything, tab finish..Now if you then tab and hold you new connection there comes a pop up menu:delete / connect chose connect and if your settings are correct youll see ( after a info pop up) two arrows at your signal strengh indicator, and you are connected...to disconnect hold down your hang up button..using your inbox, send or recieve should start up your gprs connection automaticly..
Dont know if was any help, but anyway, good luck.

Hello everybody,
I'm a satisfied user of a MDA Vario, but I have some questions about tweaking the software. Is it possible to receive e-mail from pop3 accounts automaticly, like SMS? I don't wanna check it every time, I rather like it when it gives me an notification.
Thanks in advance,
Ruud
When setting up the email account there is usually an option to connect to the internet and check every X minutes for new email. X can usually be a value between 1 and 59 I think. That is what is normally available by default with the Windows OS I am sure there are other packages (that can be purchased) that offer more options. I use the same setup and it is fine for me
Yes there are others solutions as well. I'm using vgsmail for this. It's an imap client, so you need an imap account instead of a pop account. The software is still under development & not everyone is pleased with it. http://www.vgsmail.com/ppc/

One problem with this one though.
It doesn’t work from standby, your device has to be switched on to receive notifications.

On you wizard, open outlook, open your mail account.
Menu/tools/options
Select your mail acc
next (e-mail address)
next (user login)
next (acc type)
the server info page (page 4/4)
options:
Connect & check for messages every: <check box> <pick time period> <pick connection network>
Then it should use wifi/gprs/dun whatever you have set as the network type to check your mail to the frequency you require.
IF you only want it to auto check when on wifi, and not on GPRS (costs etc) you will need to edit your networks (you can add more to have 1 just for wifi) start/settings/connections/connections
Hope it helps
Thank you, this is where I'm looking for!

then it'll apear on the settings page, configure it as required then change back to normal network as required.
Hello,
How do I turn GPRS OFF On an Xda Exec?
I have a successful WiFi connection set up to my Works Netork and I want to browse the internet via that. However, GPRS just will not GO AWAY & keeps on insisting that IT rather what I WANT is the route to the internet.
Hence I want it gone, nada, no more.
I can safely say that I will NEVER browse the net using GPRS or poxy WAP sites - excessively expensive crapola!
Thanks in advance,
Andy

not sure about 2005 but with 2003 i can just choose which connection i wanna use in connection->advanced
If you never going to use GPRS, just delete the settings:
Settings->Connections->Connections, under My ISP choose 'Manage existing connections', then long click on the GPRS setting (not sure what the name in your case will be, but it is probably the only one there) then choose delete.
You are now safe from GPRS charges.

there is not option to delete?
It is possible that on your phone the connection is set up under 'My work network', try checking there. Somewhere there should be a connection with your GPRS settings and you should be able to delete it.
i must be going blind, there is no option to delete, just edit or add
You are not going blind.
On the dialog it self there are two buttons 'Edit' and 'New'.
But if you tap and hold the connection it self (see little circles) you get a pop-up menu saying 'Delete' and 'Connect'.
It works on my Jamin, and it should work for you.

got it working now! ta
Same problem here, however I would like to use GPRS occasionally, so do not really want to delete the setting.
Example whilst at home, I want to use wi-fi, on the road GPRS.
Is there any tools that can turn GPRS on and off ?
Just press the E or G icon on the top bar and you should have the option to disconnect. That is, if you've enabled GPRS Disconnect in your registry. Works like a charm. Whenever I want to connect via WiFi, I just disconnect GPRS and fire up WiFi...
OK HTC guru's.
I have finally recieved my Dopod 838 Pro after a very long wait. I have searched the forum (flame suit on) but still have a few questions which are niggling me.
Ok, first off should be the most simple. How do I instal skins? I feel so stupid here. I see that they are usually .tsk files, but where do I place them so I can find them in the Today menu?
Second, when I first started my PDA I had to do a setup, this asked me if I wanted a Pin or Password set. I skipped it (eager to get to the phone part), but now I can work out how to put it on. I have found under "lock" in the Personal Settings that you can set the pin or password, but it only allows me for set this to restore after a period of inactivity. How do I make it work after power on?
Third, email. My carrier (3 Mobile Australia) has an unlimited email pack which I have subscribed to which uses 3MMS settings. I have set it up and it sends and recieves beautifully using those settings. Except, that to send emails, I have to manually press send/recieve to clear the outbox. I have set the check for new incomming mail every minute, so it finds these ok (subject to problem 4 below), but outgoing mail is annoying. Any tips/hints?
Fourth, activesync/email. OK, now when the phone is not connected to my PC via activesync, the check for email every minute downloads any email perfectly. When I press the send/receive button, it clears my outbox perfectly. However, if the phone is connected to the PC by the activesync, I get a cannot connect or modem disabled error. This only happens if I try to use the email while connected to activesync. Any comments, better still, any solutions.

Hey Fellow Aussie,
Im also on the 3 network but I am using a JASJAM. Im still having MMS problems (cannot receive them proprely).
Anyways, to answer some of your questions:
1. How do I instal skins? - put them (tsk's) in your My Documents folder or in the root of your microsd card. They should show up under the menu after that.
2. Pin or Password set - not sure how to do that after the PDA has been set up. I actually did a hard reset when I realised I couldnt find the option.
3. Email - I also use the $3 month unlimited sen/receive with 3email. I actually forward my corporate emails to my 3 email inbox, which I then download to my phone. When I send an email from my phone, the return address is my corporate email. Much cheaper than using data traffic with 3netaccess UMTS.
--- to answer your question about send/receive, the email wont get send out until a send/recevei has occured. If you have the option for auto-send receive (ive got mine set to 1 minute) then dont worry about it. After you write the email, it will be sent out shortly after that.
4. activesync/email - In MS Activesyn on your pc, you have to enable the "allow wireless connection on device when connected to desktop". This is avaialbe in the connection settings of MS activesync on your desktop. Ensure you are not connected to your PDA when you do this (as the option will not be available).
I hope this helps,.
Now do you have a few moments to help me out - specifically to 3 carrier settings. I have tried to do them manually but i havent managed to set it up 100%.
I have checked the extended ROMS on the wiki but they are generic ext.roms which do not have the 3 carrier settings. I know for a fact that 3 Australia tweak the shipped ext.rom to include set up files for their network.
Can you please copy all your files from you extended rom and email them to me. my email is [email protected].
if you havent unlocked/mounted your extended ROM you can do this with the fit4cat tweaker software. This software is available on the wiki I beleive. Or just use the extended ROM unlocker that is posted on the STICKY thread in this forum.
Your help will be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Hi
I was wondering how to know if WiFi has priority over 3G when its enabled because I notice when I have WiFi enabled and do send and receive in my outlook it's turning on the data connection option in connectivity (thats 3G I'm guessing) and downloading stuff. Ideally I'd like it to use the WiFi if its enabled but am not sure if it is?
Can someone clarify please!
Thanks
I'd like to know the answer to this too.
The only solution I've found which is quite crap to be honest is to set up a fake dummy connection or go
All settings > Connections tab > Connections > Advanced tab > Select Networks
Then choose My ISP or anything that doesn't have a modem connection defined. You'll then have to turn on wifi whenever you want to access the net. This isn't exactly ideal to be honest.
From what I've found out today and from searching on here is that it's the windows mobile live client has got it built in to prioritize GPRS/3G etc over Wifi ...
utter crap so I looked up alternate ways to get hotmail you can use pop3 and stuff but not sure it will sync like IMAP does, but that's the only solution I've found for now. So change the network connection to something other than mobile web when you're on wifi then change it to mobile web when you're on the streets etc and don't have wifi access.
Must be a better way though??? There's been so many people ask this on this forum and everyone of them got half arsed replies.
Outlook plus pop is ok, that is it use wifi if it is available and 3G otherwise. The problem is on hotmail accessed using windows live.
I found a solution in using HTTPMail provider 1.5 to access hotmail (it is not free but cheap enough). You can find it googling around.
I read reports around about problems during installation so I simply extracted the files (HTTPMail.dll, MIME.dll, HTTPTransport.dll and HTTPMailReg.exe) from the cab and copied them under \windows, registered manually HTTPMail.dll, MIME.dll and HTTPTransport.dll using regsvr_arm.exe (you can find it at http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=80255&d=1207768826) and registered the software using HTTPMailReg.exe
After installation an hotmail account can be created using this procedure.
Open Inbox
Tap Accounts and choose "New Account"
Enter your a fake e-mail address (not hotmail, otherwise windows live kiks in) and tap Next
Skip auto configuration (otherwise windows live kiks in) and tap Next
Set the user name to your complete e-mail address, enter your password, check the "Save password" option and tap Next
Set the Account type to HTTP and tap Next
Depending on which service you are using enter "hotmail" or "msn" (without the quotes) for both the incoming and outgoing server names, leave the domain field blank and tap the "Options" button
Set the connection to "The Internet" and tap Next
Set the maximum amount to fetch for each message or accept the default settings and tap Next
Set the maximum age for the downloaded messages and tap Next
Good luck.
i would be interested in this too.
at home, i have a wifi router and i'd like the phone to use that connection when reachable/available. then, when i'm not at home and there's no other wifi available, without doing any manual setting, it should skip to 3G.
is the device working like that by default? any special settings needed?

2. Second screen I get "Your Name" field and then "Account Display Name"
3. Third screen I get "Incoming Mail Server" ... what do I put here? You said "hotmail" or "msn" ... but what exactly... pop3.hotmail.com or what?? and other field is account type. I see HTML there so I choose that.
4. Fourth screen is "Username" and "password" I put that as my hotmail username (not fake) and proper password...
5. "Outgoing Mail Server" ... again what to put for this?? Advanced settings on this page ... I've set it to "The Internet"
Left the rest of the other pages as default when I go to hit send and receive I get an error saying:
"The URL does not use a recognized protocol (80042001) Error Source: HTTP Status: Logging On"

1. Ok.
2. Insert whatever you like.
3. Insert literally "hotmail" or "msn" and select HTTP.
4. Username should be the complete address, for example [email protected], password ok.
5. Again, insert literally "hotmail" or "msn", advanced setting ok, do not check Outgoing... and Use the same... should be grayed (disabled)
Before that you must register the DLLs (using regsvr_arm.exe) and the software (using HTTPMailReg.exe) and soft reset.
Followed all of that exactly as you said registerd the dlls and the software soft resetted and got a different error 80042002 HTTP Forbidden

I'm sorry but can't say what the problem is.
Just in case this is my account configuration (after the initial configuration I edited the address on the first page to the correct value, maybe you should try this too).
It sounds to me as though the people with the problem of cellular data connection kicking in when there is a valid wifi connection ought to examine the settings in whatever application is playing up.
e.g. someone mentioned that pocket outlook opens a 3G connection instead of using the wifi connection. In this case go into email settings (windows messaging application, menu/options then choose the email account that is causing the problem) click on "edit account setup" then press "next" 3 times and press on "advanced server settings". Check what is set under "Network connection:" In order to use the currently available connection this must be set to "The Internet" If you have set it to your cellular data connection for instance "orange internet" it will always use that connection and ignore the wifi.

I can only choose "Internet" under email settings and not my cellular data..?
The options I have are:
Orange WAP
Orange MMS
Orange Internet
Work
The Internet
I ended up just putting in my hotmail details manually using POP3 and set it to use the pop3.live.com:995 and smtp.live.com:587 rather than this whole HTTP issue with SSL and authentication for outgoing and inbound mail. "The Internet" for the network connection to use and made sure it leaves messages on server so now it'll sync without removing them off the inbox and uses the wifi first rather than the 3G.

I have Telenor/Vodaphone in Sweden and am having similar difficulties. It works well to use "The Internet" if I am on a wireless network. However, if I am without wireless I get connection error and have to switch network to "Telenor Internet" for it to work. Can anyone help out?
I'm currently trying to resolve this same issue on my girlfriend's MWg Zinc II running WM6.1.
The strange thing is, I have a Samsung Omnia, also running 6.1, with (as far as I can tell) the exact same setup for email and connections, but I don't have this issue.... ie when I'm connected to wifi and I sync my hotmail, it uses the wifi connection and does not try to connect using cellular data.

On both phones, when I "choose the email account", the next screen to appear is the Windows Live settings screen (where you cannot select the options you mention), not the standard email settings screens... so this method does not work for me.

I've had the same problem on my new Touch Pro 2 on T-Mobile, but didn't have it with my Vodafone v1615 (HTC TyTN II).
If you still have this problem, may be worth taking a look at:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4063850&postcount=4
This has fixed my problem.
I have had this problem with windows live for over 4 years, all other applications will use wifi over 3G if its available.
Windows live will only use 3G, which is an absolute nightmare when traveling as i dissable data and make use with WIFI in hotels and cafes.
