Hello all,
I've jot got an XDA Mini S and have a few questions I hope you can answer:
1. I can sync fine with Outlook on my PC but if I want to download message via wifi or GPRS I have to use a different account so message are duplicated. Is it possible to set it up so all new messages are downloaded into the same folder?
2. Does the XDA switch automatically between wifi and GPRS, i.e. if it is using GPRS and finds wifi available will it switch? Also, as I pay for 3MB/month with O2 does it matter how long I'm connected via GPRS or is it just the data I pay for?
3. How do you turn off the annoying 'clip clop' noises when you open programs from the start menu? I can't find it in the sounds settings...
Cheers,
RP

Hi there,
New the the whole xda wm5 thing and just getting my head round what I can and can't do with (so be prepared for some dumb questions from me). Here's my first 2:
I don't use outlook and all my email contacts are in thunderbird. Is there a way to import these to my xda without going through an outlook sync?
I only use the wlan when I'm at university. So far it connects fine and I can surf the web quite happily. I can also access my email (imap accounts) but, as yet can't send. This is because the uni network restricts functionality for basic connections. To send email, I need to establish a vpn connection. I've tried setting one up and telling it to connect but nothing happens. I've read on the forums about an issue that vpn is only supposed to be used for "work" connections - I think I set up my wlan connection to be a "connect to the internet" type. Does this mean that I cannot do what I'm trying to do - that is, connect to my uni wlan, establish a vpn connection, then use it to browse the web and send/receive email? Do I need to connect in 2 different ways to do what I want?
Thanks,
John
Q1 - no idea, sry
Q2 - If i remember correctly, you can set your VPN to connect to "my work network" (or make a new network group, call it Uni or something) then you can make that (Uni) network connect to the net. this should allow you to passthrough the local network and onto the internet.
If you dont know where the options are, look in settings/connections/connections/advanced. and/or post again for more help.
Hope it works
Cheers for the reply. I'll give that a go tomorrow.
Anyone any suggestions for the contacts import?

Hello.
I need your help since my Atom is lauching the GPRS connection without any instruction to do that.
I closed all the resident memory programs but still go on dialing!
How can I avoid the connection start withouth promptin it or only if I need it?
Thank You
Regards
There must be some program you have installed that's initiating it. I would suggest that you did a hard reset (after backing up your documents and contacts, of course) and then install program after program, testing a while after the installation, to see what the offenting app is.
same problem for me
Moved to proper section
Main reason
EMAIL - once an account is setup it will auto connect to internet for new email, default every 2 hours, but Windows Mobile do not disconnect GPRS after trying to get new mails.
ACTICE SYNC - if you have setup connection to EXCHANGE SERVER eg, google push server.
wil also auto connect all the time
Down side of Microsoft is that they didnt design to disconnect after trying to get email like Symbian(Nokia) do. so other manufacture will offer to design their comm manager to disable data auto connection but O2 & Quanta didnt go to the extend to offer this function back then.
Download NoData from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=467813
toggle to DISABLE GPRS
this will stop auto connection to GPRS but it may stop receiving MMS as MMS also require GPRS connection.
Does anyone know how to disable the internet passthrough feature of ActiveSync 4.1? I cant access my home email or messenger from work so want to use GPRS for that (I've just signed up for the Orange unlimited GPRS bundle) whilst syncing as normal with Outlook.
There must be some way to tell it that the ActiveSync connection is not available for internet access and to connect GPRS instead.
This is driving me nuts!!!
have you looked under active syncs options ?
if it's not there then they removed it in version 4
Yeah, I thought of that as there used to be a tick box you could select to either enable or disable it. Unfortunately it appears they have removed that option in version 4.1 which is useful.
Does anyone know of a workaround (registry hack or something)?
I just want to be able to use ActiveSync to do what it's supposed to (i.e Sync) and GPRS for everything else...
Hello to everybody, newbee here, it's my first WM .
Dear friends I've just received my TC, lovin it, but, there is something which I don't understand:
1) I've 829 contacts in my Outlook 2003, of course, they're managed by categories, why I can't find a solution to syncronize ONLY certain categories? Is it normal that I'm forced to sync the whole lot? Am I doing something wrong or do I've to install any other sw?
2) My WiFi is configured as "internet" and even if I disable "data connection", each time that I ask to download updated weather info, it keeps connecting via GPRS no matter if the WiFi is available and plenty of signal. Anybody here can tell me a step by step procedure to have this working ONLY in WiFi?
Thanks a lot in advance.
I really searched hard, but couldn't find any solutions, neither in a german forum.
My TD2 can use the wlan for internet via topaz' integrated opera without a problem. But if it comes to adding mail accounts, I am not able to choose wlan as the connection to download / send mails (yes, all access data are correct, it's only that I can't choose wlan as connection). Due to obvious reasons, I don't want to use the regular networks of my phone provider. I just want to use my free wlan at home to send / receive mails. What to do?
Normally when a data connection is request, if pda has the wifi actived it first try to connect with a wlan. if it don't find an active wlan, then it connect by gprs or 3g.
if you want avoid the connection with gprs/3g it is advisable to disactivate it by the program Modaco Nodata.
Got it now, all worked well. But after I entered a complete mail account that worked, I entered a second mail account that I didn't configur till the end. Now it appears in the touchflo 3d, is not deletable and does also NOT appear in the WM Mail structure. It seems it only appears in the TouchFlo, which showed it again after deactivating/ enabling TouchFlo again. SKTools doesn't find it either. Dunno where to fin it apart from the registry, where can I delete it?
