Is there a way to hide this window? I'll be working in a document while Flexmail is working in the background. Every now and then the connection drops and it needs to re-connect. When it re-connects that darn window pops up saying it's connecting and I can't enter anything onto the screen I was working on until it goes away. Maybe there's a reg setting I can motify? Or maybe thre's a setting on the phone I overlooked to not have that window pop up?
Settings->Sounds and noification->Notifications, find Connection establish and choose what you want.
I can't beleive I didn't see that. Thank you

My vario randomly connects to GPRS without asking me, i suspect this will be costing me on my bill, so I'd like to turn it off. How do i do that?
my XDA mini s does the same. But it is a WM problem. Let me describe my common situation.
Connected to Wifi, running MSN Messenger. Left device for a while and it went sleeping. It also turns off Wifi! But then when MSN needs to connect in the background, it goes to GPRS!! When I wake up my device, it has already used GPRS for MSN and when it wakes, it tries to connect back to my Wifi!!!!
I'm on roaming so the GPRS is dear-er.
Best way, is to create a null modem, or invalid connection. Set your device to connect to that null connection automatically when requesting for internet access. Not the best, but at least it won't cost you or me.
The thing is it does it when I'm not even doing anything, it just pops that gprs icon up and does its own thing.
OK I didnt quite follow what you said there, so imagine I'm an idiot who dosent understand what a null connection is, then explain it to me again....
Long press hang-down key.... (2-3 sec)

lol like your response,
I do agree with Humps, dont know of a way to turn of the gprs but his way does ensure it wont connect on its own.
when you goto settings/connections/connections (this is wm2003 that i refer to) you will see your t-mobile settings.
and the options to manage existing connections. go into here and create a new connection give it anyname you want (you want it not to work) give it any settings it will accept that are wrong,
then from the connections page at the bottom you have tasks and advanced.
when you want GPRS active goto advanced and select t-mobile
when you dont want it to be able to connect go back to the advanced screen and select the dodgy one you just created.
then if it tries to connect the settings will all be wrong and it will fail.
good plan.
I really wish it would ask permission to go online with gprs...personally I changed the name of the access point in my o2 settings, so it can't connect until I change it back to the proper name.

Even after a 30 second press, it still stays connected with the 'G' icon in the top of the screen.
I've tried setting up a new GPRS called dummy, so I'll se how it goes.
Is it the big [G] icon, or the small G with arrows around it?
Because the former just means that GPRS is available - only the latter means that you're connected to it.
you want to give SPB GPRS Monitor a try, even if only for the trial it will let you know if its using any while its idle,
good app would be well worth keeping in it.
Well I have a carPC and i have been using my Cingular 8525 as my internet connection for the carPC. I have been tethering the phone to my carPC via bluetooth. I was wondering since it is very annoying to have to go into windows and start the network access for bluetooth and then start internet sharing on the phone in order to set up the connection. Is it possible to to somehow have the PC automatically start the network access when internet sharing is activated? Or is there an easier way to even do this?
I would like this too!
(one thing i did notice is that the new 12 button comm manager that somone has made has a button for internet sharing. this would be less hassel to use that you current setup i would think?)
Mortscript can probably do everything you want...
However im not sure how/what you can use as the trigger for mortscript. do you run any specific app, or make a bluetooth car kit connection of any type when you get into the car?
i will try and write a mortscript for this sometime soon..
Well i think i have a solution comming for you...
Here is what i ahve got so far.
On the PC iniciate an Object push to the phone, this will pop up a dialoge window on the phone saying "recieving data"
If you have a mort script running a loop in the Background that waits for this window, you can then check the text of the active window to make sure the receiving data window is talking about a push from the right machine.
If it is, you cna then use mortscrit to start the right app, change the parameters of the app and activate the sharing of the app.
The object push from the pc could be triggered after 30 seconds after boot for instance.. or somthing similar. should be easy to script that on thePC!
I was wondering how to turn off the slide control on TouchFlo so that the phone stays "open" after it hibernates.
Also, whenever I want to connect to WiFi at home, it asks for the password... how can I save the encryption key inside the phone?
Thanks!
Ok I figured out the 2 questions and came up with 1 more. I clicked around the phone and clicking on iLock turns off the slider. And the encryption key seems to be saved now.
When I go to IE, however, it will try to connect through GPRS, even though I don't have it. How can I delete GPRS from the phone (will never use it) or disable it and make it use WiFi first?
Thanks!
Do a search, there are threads on disabling GPRS. You need to manually start wifi. IE will then use wifi even if GPRS is configured.

Comm manager shows Wifi on. Settings->WiFi shows connected. The WiFi icon is alive and kicking at the top of the screen. And it still goes only for GPRS
Can you verify that wifi is actually working by getting out vis some other application (like email)? What specific device do you have (8125, Qtek, etc.)?
Ok this is starting to annoy me now.
Every time I boot up my phone, it IMMEDIATLY wants to connect. Obviously, since I haven't giving my password in, so no phone service is available yet, it fails.
So every single time I boot my phone I get to see this message (see picture below). The only way to get it gone, is to press Negeren (Ignore).
Is there a solution that doesn't immediatly wants to connect, but waits with connecting when the phone actually has service to connect?
Thanks, Lennart
(Quick translation of the picture: The modem on the other side has disconnected. Tap settings to check the connection settings and change if neccesary)
Same problem here ...
Don't want to irritate you guys by bumping, but really wondering if anyone has a solution for this.
Or even the same problem?
Thanks
I think that the problem is My location, which can't be full disabled.
Each startup My location trying to detect phones location.
For me i have "Select Time Zone" after each startup after connection established
How to fix - don't know
There is a way to disable MyLocation, using BsB...
Hmm, don't want to use an option that requires total disable of another program
What's up guys? I have a problem. Here at school we can connect to the public wifi and what happens is that when u open the browser it directs u to a clean access software where u log in then u have interner access. This worked fine on my iphone but the x10 sometimes when I open the browser the page wouldn't even load and sometimes I can log in but then it doesn't work after I log in. What's wrong here? Do I have to register the MAC address with the school?
Might sound like a basic solution, but have you tried from a different browser? (i.e. Opera Mini or SkyFire)
It works fine for me. I have it set to automatically connect to my school network when in range. And all I have to do then is open up my browser and just type in any random website, and it redirects me to the school site automatically, where I can log in. And then I'm set to go. Occasionally though it does stop working, like maybe after 10-15 mins... I found it disconnects when your screen turns off. There's an option to keep you wifi always on.. I think the default is set to "turn off when screen is off" so it disconnects then. If you want to change that setting, go to settings and then wifi and manage connections I think it was, and then press the menu button on the phone and the setting for wifi come up and you can select wifi to always remain on.
Hope this helped.
thanx for the replies guy i will try a different browser when i go to school and see if this works and will reply
