Hi all,
I have a XDA 2 which works almost perfectly, the gprs settings connect me to the internet and ms messener. I have a small piece of vpn softwate that allows me to connect to my work network and use the intranet there using netfront/pie. I have an IM application that resorts to using the default network option (i think) when the application is started it disconnect gprs and my work vpn and then attempts to connect using the MMS O2 gprs setting and no amount of fiddling with the xda 2 can fix this, my IM app does not have a select adapter option.
Does anyone know where this is stored so that it can be deleted completely? I have found the settings in mms composer but I am unable to delete it?
It does nto show up in the standard network settings either.
Any help would be much appreciated
Thanks andi
Hello, I’m using a Qtek 9100 wm5 with the latest rom.
I’m using visto’s push email client provided by Vodafone. The problem is that although I have configured push apn “under” Vodafone internet profile, it does not switch between push & internet profile when needed. I have set device to do it automatically.
So, I can only use push email or internet explorer (or some weather forecast program), because since a connection is established through push apn the phone does not switch to internet profile when I open internet explorer!
Is there a solution to that problem?
Is there any way (or program) that we can manually configure which program should use specific apn?
I have been running SPB GPRS Monitor to assess email programs. What I just noticed tonight is that it takes 30-40KB to connect to GPRS. I can't readily tell if T-Mobile is charging me for that data.
I had my GPRS connection set for Always on. A problem with always on, or for that matter autofetch on email, is that every time the device loses its Edge or GPRS connection, then regains it, there is around a 35K data use, at least according to SPB GPRS Monitor.
Does anyone know of a GPRS toggle program?
SPB
Of course, SPB GPRS monitor has a toggle. There is a feature I didn't know about because I had the popup turned off.
24 hours later, my phone used over 400KB connecting to GPRS. Turning GPRS on uses over 30KB, and if the phone connection is lost (which happens frequently in my home and office) it is usually over 10KB to reconnect.
Meanwhile I looked at my bill, and T-Mobile billed me for less data than SPB says I used, so perhaps T-Mobile isn't including the time spent connecting to the network. On the other hand, there was one day where T-Mo said I used over 1.5 MB and SPB says I used less than 1.1, a large discrepancy.
Are you able to recive your mails thru the GPRS connection? I have to use a proxy server for the GPRS to work, but I can't get new mails thru this GPRS connection with proxy. (using build in messaging application)
I can get new mails when using WiFi...
Can you change any settings to allow mail download over GPRS, thur proxy...?
thanks

I do receive mail
I don't use a proxy server but have T-Mobile settings. Can you browse the web on GPRS? You need the settings for your carrier.
Yes I can browse the web, but for that I need to set the proxy server and server port explicitly within Opera 8.60
Within the GPRS connection I activated the checkbox to use a proxy server and set al settings correctly, still the messaging application don't want to use the GPRS connection. MSN doesn't work over the GPRS neighter.
At the messaging account settings, within the advanced settings I only can select as 'Connect to' -> 'The internet' or 'Work', but not my GPRS connection.
What is your setting for the connection within the advanced settings of you messaging account?
Thanks

I have the standard APN=internet2.voicestream.com setting, which is automatically inserted by the T-Mo customization in the 2.26 ROM (I have another thread on this). You might solve your problem with this extensive thread:

Meanwhile, this is a thread about GPRS data use, not about solving GPRS problems.
I am by Base and everything works fine without a proxy. Here are the settings taken from their website :
BASE Data (Internet over GPRS) instellingen
APN: gprs.base.be
User name : base
Password: base
DNS servers: dynamic
SMTP Relay (Optional): mail.internetmail.be
http://www.base.be/BASE/nl/Home/Producten/Diensten/Mobile_Data/page.aspx/1915
You shoul NOT use the settings for Wap over Gprs! You should use Internet over Gprs settings.

Thanks for that, actually, I'm using Base I-mode (7€/20MB = 0,35€/MB) instead of the real GPRS option (2,5€/MB)
But for I-mode on a Windows Mobile phone, you need to use a specific proxy, else it won't work
So in fact, this GPRS is not really supported by Base, and that's why I can't ask Base for a solution
i will take a look at the mentioned link, thanks anyway!!

Yeah, I read about the I-mode hack.
Instead I went for "BASE Data Access+"
5€ for 10MB and then 2,50€/MB.
Terribly sorry about hijacking this thread
Data use
I've now tested this further. "Normal" turning on the GPRS when the phone connection has been lost requires 40KB of data flow, according to SPB GPRS Monitor. This turns out to be most of the data I'm using, just connecting ten or so times per day, that is, connecting requires 500KB of data when I am in a place where I lose my connection frequently.
It is still mysterious why email takes so much data, too. With ten messages existing on the server, all having been read, to delete two takes 40KB of data. Sending a 2KB message usually takes 10KB. Why the overhead? (I keep my server mostly clean, just unanswered emails on it).
I'm having some troubles with my GPRS connections. I'm able to recieve emails from one of my accounts on a regular schedule (ie. every 60 mins) but I am unable to recieve mail from my Gmail account and I'm unable to user any browsers(PIE, or Opera) to connect to the web. When I go into Comm manager I am connected but both browser cannot find the requested page or server times out? So how is it that I can recieve my mails from the same connection but not surf.
I think one of my problems was that I changed something in the registry to make it seem that I was using IE 5.5 what are the default settings? I have an 02 exec xda with stock ROM and radio there is a setting in settings for GPRS One is CHAP and the other is PAP which one do I need to use for TMO North America?
Also in settings there is MY ISP and WORK; Work has vanished and all that is there is my TMO settings. All help welcomed
thanks
My provider offers a push mail service. However to use that service a specific APN needs to be used and that data connection cannot be used for regulare internet traffic. So I would like to be connected to the push mail APN most off the time and switch to the regular APN when I wanna surf or something.
So far I haven't found a way to stop a data connection and to start a specific one. Anybody have any ideas where I could find such a thing?
Specific APN
I'm using vodafone as provider. They have an online tool to create a static that you can install on your mobile device. This dial-up connection is then selectable under active sync settings/ advanced/ connection. Instead of using the setting internet you can select dedicated. This will then automaticly use this setting for the exchange syncro and this will not affect your setting for internet. I've added the cab file. If you extract it you will see the xml and registry entries. Perhaps this can help you.
