I've recently migrated from a Magician (O2 mini WM2000SE) to a
Prophet (i-mate JAMin WM5). On the Magician, I could manually start/stop a GPRS session by tapping on the "G" icon and selecting connect/disconnect. The Prophet/WM5 does not seem to work this way, I guess because the device also has WiFi.
I cannot find any way of manually starting a GPRS session. Can anyone elighten me?

Is it normal for the GPRS symbol to appear in the top taskbar when the XDA2 is in the cradle?
Is this using any GPRS traffic?
Also, can anyone recommend a good (preferably cheap/free) GPRS counter for the XDA2?
TIA!
sure it's ok. (if you allow your ppc to use the net connection through docking station via active sync.
why should the ppc use the slow gprs connection if the fast line of your pc is available as well.

hi
with mda2 at wm2003 I had after click at G (or signal strange button) posibility to connect to gprs, at wm5 this option is gone, it only show settings link. Should it be changed?
I've the same question.
thanks
Why? The wizard connects when you start any application that requires gprs access and keep the connection as long as you don't end it. What would be the value of connecting when it isn't used anyway?
Hi all,
I've got my Qtek 9000 since a week and it's a dream-device.
I've got a small "problem". When I connect through WiFi to the internet and I Sign-in to MSN, after a period, I disconnect and it often happens that my device automatically connects to GPRS (costs me €€!!) without asking me... :? I guess that's MSN who tries to connect again to the internet.
I was thinking about 2 different possible solutions, but they are only workarounds. I created a dummy GPRS-connection through IrDa that is set as default. When MSN want to connect now, it does not cost me €€
I could also use a Taskmanager to kill the MSN en Internet Explorer after using WiFi, but isn't there a clean way to ask before connection to GPRS?
Thanks in advance!

Try using an app manager or menu system (I use SmallMenu from Tillanosoft) to kill MSN PROPERLY - using the WM5 "ok" button merely puts it into the background so it'll still attempt to connect.
the dummy GPRS connection is a reasonable idea though.
You could use "GB-SOFT Tweak". It has an option to "Turn off GPRS if device not used for xxxx (h:m)" and another one to show a disconnect button in the GPRS bubble.
That way you can choose when to turn GPRS off. Saved me some €€ already

Hello all, long time reader - first time poster. I have an SPV M3100. It's brilliant, but I have two issues. I've searched extensively, but can't locate info about them, so I have put them here for some nice person to help me with . I have split them across two threads, for ease of searching.
Issue: 'Connect to 3G / GPRS' (the PDA with arrows icon) option in Conn Manager greyed out.
I can connect to the 3G / GPRS network automatically when launching an app that needs to connect, but I can't connect manually. So, when I wish to use AIM, i have to load up PIE first to automatically create the G3 / GPRS. I used to have an SPV M2000, and you could click on the GPRS icon in the title-bar and click on 'connect' - I try to do this on the SPV M3100 and i get a message saying 'To connect to either the INternet or work, set up a new connection in Setting'. Is there something I'm not doing? To be honest, the whole 'work' and 'the internet' connections thing is really confusing. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Is there a way I can disable the GPRS on my HTC TyTN? I would like to use the WiFi I have at home sometimes and it just automatically use the 3G, GPRS setting...especially with Internet Explorer which is on the phone.
Any help is appreciated...thanks!
I'm having this problem too. Whenever Wifi and GPRS are both active, it always defaults to GPRS. I cannot get it to recognise the Wifi connection under any circumstances.
I have an Orange SPV M3100 (HTC Hermes) with Windows Mobile 6.
sorry for my english first. if you use the automatic set up connection GPRS for your operator ; the wifi doesn't work.
You must do a hard reset and configure the GPRS connection manual.
Then the wifi works.
I've done this. I had to input my operators settings when I upgraded to Windows Mobile 6. It still doesn't work.
