OK, so the internet settings in WM5 are a real hell to deal with.
Is there some kind of a network profiler (like Mobile NetSwitch for desktop Windows)?
I want to be able to switch between settings. For example, I have a wireless network at home with automatic IP settings. I also have the USB commection that uses a proxy. In the uni I have two wireless networks with different settings. I want to switch between locations with different setting.
How the hell can this be done?
in the start-settings-connections tab you can choose the connections icon, then set up different connections "under add a new modem connection". then select the advanced tab and select the network manually for the connection you then want to use at that time. When you want to use another connection, you have to go to start-settings-connections-connections -advanced again and mannually select the network you want to connect to. Not very easy to do quickly, but the only way I have found to switch networks...

OK.
When I'm at home, I use my Wifi AP to connect to the Internet and my home network. I have to set my settings to:
Settings --> Connections --> Connections --> Adcanced --> Select Networks --> My Work Network.
When I'm on the move and my HTC TyTn is connected to KPN UMTS I hve to manually set my settings to:
Settings --> Connections --> Connections --> Adcanced --> Select Networks --> KPN GPRS / UMTS.
Is there any chance that this can be set to any kind of automatic mode, a scripting tool on my todayscreen or other solution???
I am not familiar with an automatic way to switch networks, but here is what I do on my Jamin:
My GPRS settings are under My ISP (just tap 'add new connection in the main connections tab, note My ISP has to be selected for use in 'advanced' for this option to be available)
When I connect to my home WiFi (or any other WiFi) I select 'this network connects: to the internet'.
In advance->network selection both lists are on My ISP.
This way I never have to switch between networks and all apps (except push mail that insists on GPRS) use WiFi if available and GPRS if not.
Thx
Wow, thanks!!
4 months of trying, mindbreaking hours. While the solution is so simple!
IT WORKS!

I need to do what the opening post dictates also, but I dont quite have a grasp on the above.
Can anyone make it any clearer? Sorry
Hello! I have a problem with WLAN. I couldn't find where to set up my proxy and port settings for WLAN. If I go to the start > settings > conections I can't set up a wireless network, just 3g, bluetooth etc. (but there are settings for proxy), but if I go to start > settings > network cards and then tap Add new there are just options that i need exept those two. Help me please!
P.S. I have WM5 and Qtek 9000 (HTC Unversal)
OK, after about 10 minute trying, I finally get it done.
When you select one AP name in Wi-Fi setting,it will ask which profile will the connection connects to.( I use Chinese version, I guess it will be "Default Internet" and "Default Company" ).The two connection is the two you select in setting->connection->connection->advance tab, the upper is "Internet" the lower is "Company", and you can make a new profile here using the "New" button,here you will find proxy setting and enter some proxy , because you are just using this profile in wi-fi ,so the "moderm" can be left blank.
When you have done the setting, you can turn on Wi-Fi, browse some web site, in taskMgr(additional application I installed) you will find the ppc has establish a tcp connection to the proxy server you set up.
I recently got the HD, but since I live in Canada I figured it wasn't worth it to get a data plan (Can only use EDGE and prices are outrageous). As such, I'm wondering if there are any apps or methods to block data.
I would still want to be able to use wifi for internet and such, but stop EDGE from working. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you!
Goto the Comm Manager and turn Data Connection off? Don't know what that does to wifi which has a seperate on/off? That failing, could you not disable data from your operator?
what works for me is to set networks for automatic internet access to "company network":
Start - settings - connections tab - connections icon - extended tab - select networks - automatic internet access => set to company network
I have a german device so had to guess english names ... be warned.
if you make the change and try to update weather data you should get an error.
Set it back to your phone provider should make it connect (and charge you) again.
I called my carrier and asked for data transfer to be blocked.
Start - Settings - Connections
Tap the Connections icon
There you might see an entry for your mobile provider - in my case I see
"Vodafone Live"
- Add a new modem
- Edit my proxy server
- Manage existing connections
Tap 'Manage existing connections'
You will see a list of modems (in my case I see 'Vodafone Live')
Tab and hold the modem
Choose delete
Anyone tried MoDaCo's NoData utility?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=444541
dwnload tweaks 3.3. There is an option to disable one or al of your data connections.
You need to install compact framework 3.5 first (google it if unsure).
hello everyone,
I have a simple question, can i set my device to connect using wifi automatically when i run an internet application instead of going to the gprs, i tried to play with the connection setting but no luck.
regards
Hi!
I have managed this problem by defining double keypress to "backspace" key to turn bluetooth on/off and triple keypress to turn wifi on/off with AE Button Plus. Very handy tool! http://ae.inc.ru/aebplus.php
I had always assumed that any WiFi connection took automatic priority over GPRS?
On my HD and automatically :
- WiFi takes priority over GPRS/3G
- USB (ActivSync) takes priority over GPRS/3G and Wifi (which is automatically disabled, BTW)
- If neither USB nor WiFi are available, GPRS/3G is used.
Tested with IE, Opera, Mail and Weather.

First, do you get the wifi turned on automatically when you start ie or opera?
second, if yes, how did you manage to do that?

Here is how I configured (I'm translating from french, exact english terms might be a bit different) :
1. Parameters > tab "Connections" > Connections > tab "Advanced" > "Networks selection"
- In "Programs connecting automatically to Internet..." I've selected "Office network"
- IN "Programs connecting automatically to a private network ..." I've selected "OrangeWorld"
2. Parameters > tab "Connections" > WiFi > "Wireless networks" > tab "Network interface"
- In "My interface connects to" I've selected "Internet"
First, do you get the wifi turned on automatically when you start ie or opera?

I turn the WiFi ON/OFF manually. (For power saving reasons, I don't want it to be ON when I can't use it)
Youc an also use MoDaCo NoData utility to explicitly disable GPRS and other mobile data connections.
You need to register to download.
Alternatively, Schaps Advanced Config V3.3 has the same disable in its advanced settings, but its buried a bit too deep in the menu's.
in my diamond when i enable wifi there is a window popup with list of wifi access points but they are all access points and not adhoc.
my network at home is adhoc but the diamond dont show it. i have to select dismiss and then go to settings connections wifi and select only computer to computer or all available to see my home networks but every time the setting go back to only access point.
how to change defaults? this is really help me.
thank you!!!
