Asked and answered many times, check the Wiki for WM5 registry hacks or just search for posts with "GPRS always".

First off hi all, been a background reader for a week or so now,
My XDA Exec has now landed and wondered if a nice soul could help a guy out.
Although i'm pc savvy phones are not my forte, i cannot seem to find in the manual info on how to access the internet via 3g ie when im in the boozer and not on my lan at home.
Can someone point in the right direction, do i need to set it up via new isp, 3g provider?? if so what are the settings for O2 uk
Many thanks
Hi,
I take it you have a 3g SIM from O2? If you have, you can get their setup settings from the O2 website and once those are in your Exec whenever you launch an app that needs internet access it "should" automaticly try and connect via 3g.
Cheers buddy will have a look
alternatively there is a link somewhere on the forum (try searching for O2 settings) that lets you download a cab with the settings and you just run the cab. it may look like its going to install o2 active, but it doesnt. Just choose Personal and it will install the connection settings

If you let the device starup as normal, with all O2 skins and customisation, then everything will be put in for you.
As it says in the manual.... :wink:

Yeah thanks to whoever did that CAB that was really helpful!
Where can I find them? My TyTn just arrived and I have to set these things manually... thanks!
Same as your GPRS settings; it's no different
Hi there, iIam in the same boat. I do not know how to enter the settings or even where to find them. I saw the a previous reply to you said "Same as your GPRS settings," but that did not help me because I do not know what those are or how to enter them.
I woud also appreciate help on this issue.
Thanks
Cingular Settings
Ok,
This link should take you to the Cingular settings for the 8125. They're the same for HSDPA as well as plain GPRS
https://supportcingular.atgnow.com/...Setting+the+APN+on+the+Cingular+8125.#Goto101
This link is for the MMS settings, in case you need them.
https://supportcingular.atgnow.com/...ring+MMS+settings+on+the+Cingular+8125#Goto11
If for whatever reason they don't work, goto support on Cingular's site and search for 8125 GPRs settings and you'll get them. Hope this helps.

Cool, thanks! It's working.
I tried to test via dslreports.com but those Java-styleed stuff did not work, just like speedtest.net did not work...
UPDATE: http://www.dslreports.com/mspeed works and I got 811kb/s with 0.4xxms latency... hmmm, is there a way to lower this crazy latency?
It's dslreports.com/mspeed And sorry about that, I figured you knew the settings already, or else I would have posted them
I cam getting similar results. I am wondering if it has to do with the connection settings. On Telus EVDO RevA I had a latency of about 50ms and a dl speed of around 1500kbit
Have searched for this and find nothing:
Whenever I restart my TyTn, GPRS connects automatically. I have not configured my email to check for mails at specific intervals. Please help me with this. Thanks!
I think your connection is configured as "always on". You can change it in the registry....

Indeed, or if you're not confident about changing registry use something like Tweaks2k2 to make the change for you along with lots of other little tricks.

You could try a less drastic approach:
Check:
Settings, Connection-tab, Connections, Advance-tab.
(hope this is correct, I don't have an english rom-version)
There you should be able to select which connection is automatically used. I have this on T-Mobile default connection since I have an unlimited dataplan and use direct-push.
When using the phone as modem, I have to switch this "off"/different setting eg. work connection to avoid conflicts.
Hope this helps

We like drastic, drastic is sooooo gooood!!
Seriously though the originator does not say he does not want to use GPRS only that he does not want it starting automatically. So the connection type maybe correct only it needs its bottom smacked for running off without daddy. We have ways in the registry to control such dis-respectful behaviour and baby Hermes must be punished or else get sent to bed with no active sync with Mummy.

Thanks for your help. I am quite comfortable with editing the registry. What specifically in the registry should I edit. Thanks!
EDIT: I already FOUND it! Thanks for the help everyone!!!
I have searched all over multiple forums and havn't come up with a definitive answer to my question. I have a Cingular 8125 and no data plan. I want to disable GPRS so that in case my wifi isnt connected I dont connect through GPRS. There were rumors of a registry key that could disable it, but I couldn't find any more info.
Where can I find the registry key to disable GPRS entirely?
What I would recommend is for you to install Registrywizard it has the option to disable GPRS, or look a bit harder since I'm pretty sure the info is around here somewhere, you might even check in registrywizard's thread, it's a long one though, so be warned the thread is this one

Super, Thanks!
The keys for disabling GPRS is actually in HKLM\Comm\ConnMgr\Providers\{7C4B7A38-5FF7-4bc1-80F6-5DA7870BB1AA}\Connections\ Cingular GPRS\
and the same except the last part is Cingular CSD.
Thanks again for the tip.
Cingular
I know this isn't the answer you were looking for...but I just called Cingular support (611) and told them to disable GPRS (might be best to call it mobile internet...they aren't the smartest). They will disable it immediately and you don't have to remember which keys you changed if you want to enable it later.
Basically I am searching for somewhere on the net that can help me to understand the connection settings in Windows Mobile.
While i can play around with settings and eventually get a connection to work with my service provider, i would rather really understand what i am doing. For example, which connection settings are used when? Wap or Web? How does Windows mobile decide. And how about MMS, and what connection does that use? What exactly does the "work" setting do? I just want to try and understand how it works.
Is there somewhere on the net to read up and understand the settings? Maybe some MS sites?
Again, a specific setting with my service provider is not the problem. I want to understand how it all fits together.
Any help would be appreciated. thanks.

Google is your friend!
... or maybe you want someone to find a spoon.
Well, apparently i am way too dumb to usefully engage Google, as i have searched numerously for an answer. All I am able to find is specific settings for particular carriers. This is not at all what i am searching to learn.
So, yes, if you have a "spoon" then i would appreciate being spoon fed.
"And how about MMS, "
mms use the connection you set it up to do in most cases it use grps with mms or something like that as accesspoint
"and what connection does that use? What exactly does the "work" setting do? I just want to try and understand how it works."
connect your pda to activesync and use your pc's network to surf
use wifi to surf use bluetooth to surf and you're using work as network
isp or what it's called on your device is only for grps
want to know more
