Hi all,
can anyone tell me if its possible to do a GPRS dial via TAPI? I don't want to use connection manager, because I need full control of the dial process and I have to chose the Access Point Name. Is there a way of configuring the APN via TAPI? How can I make the connection only with an APN?
I can chose the APN with AT commands, but I have to silence the RIL layer first, this has unfortunate side effects.
Thanks for any suggestiongs!

I'm using an XDA2 with the latest public ROM version from O2.
I have three GPRS connections that I use - the Internet, a work VPN, and WAP.
For day to day work I tend to use just the Internet and work VPN. Sometimes, however, I also use WAP.
Is there an easy way of connecting to WAP WITHOUT having to go into the connection manager and change my Internet settings from the Internet connection to the WAP connection?
Or, is there a better Connection Manager out there that can handle more than 2 connections?
Or, finally, is there a way to detect that a WAP connection is needed, and connect as required?
An alternative would be a program that allows you to, with the click of a button, select the two connections that you want to use (i.e. profile 1 is VPN and WAP and profile 2 is VPN and Internet).
Thanks!
I have exactly the same problem.
Too many operations to change the connection!!!
Someone any ideas?
Same here .. Having the same issue ..
It is inefficient to change the connection through Conn Manager ..
Perhaps can we do it through registry change? i.e. create several registry files, and just click the one we need when we want to connect to certain profile ..
Tried to look through the registry setting for Conn Manager, but it is confusing, they are using so many {436EF144- ....}, {18AD9FBD- ..} thingy
Maybe some expert can help here?
Thanks
Back From The Grave!!!
I was wondering the same thing!
I hate to say it, but the iPhone does wifi much simpler than Windows Mobile -- just flick a software switch and you're on, no changing settings, and no changing back when you go offline.
It's over 10 taps in Windows Mobile to do the same thing! I know there just HAS to be a simpler way to do this!
you can make you life a easier if you create a shortcut of the remnet.exe (inside the windows directory) to the start menu folder
rename "shortcut to remnet" to "connections"
Hello,
i've been searching around the web for a definitive explanation of the communication settings (Wep, Wap, GPRS, Internet, ISP, Wlan, etc.) in WM2006.
I can usually fiddle my way through setting something up, that seems to work...but i never know exactly why or what i did!
Now that i've got the HTC tytnII with built in Wlan this has become even more complicated.
For example, sometimes when i have an active Wlan connection and am surfing the internet, the phone connection pops up and asks me to connect via GPRS (Wap or Wep).
This is something that i've been confused about for some time anyway: how doese the unit know which way it should connect to the internet when i start an application?
IN any case, i've now been searching for a definitive explanation of the various settings contained in WM6.
Is there somewhere a good explanation of how it all works, so that i can understand the various settings?
Thanks in advance for any help....

Same here, I'd also like to know the difference.
For example, right now I seem to be able to configure a specific network connection to use for my Gmail synchronization. However, this ranges from 'The Internet' to 'My Internet', and just don't forget 'Work'.
Having a more profound understanding of these 'networks' and how to properly configure them is vital in this day where devices can also connect to the net using USB/ActiveSync and Wifi.
Anybody know some application that can configure proxy (use ou not) in each connection?
I use proxy for GSM data connection to work remotly (work network), but when connect by WiFi or GPRS I don't use proxy and have to enter configuration connections to disable...
Can I assign proxy settings to each connection?
Thanks
i had the same problem as well, do a search for proxy and you'll find it, also go to start>help and search proxy and it will tell you there.

But, do you know any software that can do it???
I know configure proxy any time but i want an app that can do it for me (in each connection)!
Thanks
Change which network each connection uses (ie work, internet - make more of your own) then each one can have different proxy settings.

Ok, this thread is a little old, but it is close to what I am looking at.
I just got my bill from O2 and I have been charged £1.50 for "GPRS data" although I think it is actually MMS messages being sent or received by GPRS. I am guessing this is because it is set up incorrectly by me.
I did have it set to collect MMS over the "mobile.o2.co.uk" settings (as opposed to the "wap.o2.co.uk" settings) and wifi could be enabled, but if I tried to use the browser without enabling wifi it automatically dialled the GPRS connection.
Could someone give me an idea on how to set it so that
A) MMS messages only count as MMS messages and are sent and received by GPRS.
B) WiFi is the preferred connection for everything else.
C) GPRS is available if WiFi is not available (and preferably after getting confirmation from the user), ie I dont have to find the settings and re-enter them.
I realise this is probably not possible, but any help and/or pointers are appreciated.
i dont know if anyone can help me with this or i am just being thick and its allready possible to do, but i am having a horrible time with setting up my applications and using the internet.
I use quite a few applications that ask for either a network (Resco for acessing my files on my computer) and also the internet (mail, PIE etc).
i cant seem to strike a balance between these programs and the possible connections (Wi-fi / gprs), if i set up my internet connection as a proxy with the deatils for my acess point at home then i can get my files on my comp and acess to the internet. but as soon as i leave the bubble of my home then everything goes haywire.
is there a way to set up a hieracy and advanced rules for what connections to use for what programs and when? and possibly an option to ask before dialing a gprs connection?
any help would be great
thanks all
Hi
I am trying to setup my o2 exec to send and receive email from my work.
I have to dial in to a modem using a user id and password. I then have to use a 2nd id and password to access the email. Has anyone got any tips on how to do this? I have all the settings and can get a pc with modem to work ok.
I have tried to setup a modem using the settings I have, and I have tried to setup an email account to use the modem but I keep getting no modem on this connection. If I dial the connection number on a landline I can here the modem connection.
Any help would be appreciated. Fast running out of Nurofen Plus
Thanks

Are the modem connected to your PC or it's a wireless modem and connected to your PPC?
Hi ranju
What I need to do is to connect my xda exec to my work dial-up by just using the xda not any external modem or pc
ph236
First of all, you should be able for accessing internet from your ppc through activesync or wireless connection.
Now, create a new pop3 account in ppc. Follow the steps:
1. enter the email address
2. your name, email user id (i.e. [email protected]), password and tick on save password.
3. account type (i.e. pop3).
4. server address (i.e. in = pop.gmail.com, out = smtp.gmail.com).
5. click on options. select the connection to be used.
6. click on next. uncheck incomming ssl authentication (in case of gmail), check outgoing authentication (in case of gmail) and uncheck use separate settings.
7. finish and close messaging client.
8. open the messaging client and click on send receive.
Hope it will help. You may also do a softreset after the configuration.
Hi ranju
I need to be able to connect via the dial-up modem at work and my exda on the move using the in built phone.
I need to dial into the modem from my xda to the work modem. make a connection using user id and password.
When the connection is established I then need to use a second id and password to get to my email store.
I won't have a pc connection during any of this.
Sorry if I was a bit misleading.

Let's try to split a problem into 2 parts.
1) Establish a connection using your GSM connection (without GPRS) = "dial-into" your work server.
2) Check your mail.
So, for 1)
you need your XDA to recognise ISP/Work mode properly first.
By default Work mode is for addresses that are either without dots (e.g. server1), or those found on exception list (e.g. intra.company.com/*), otherwise ISP mode is used.
In Settings > Connections, under Connections, there's Advanced tab where you can find Exceptions list. Add your company intranet mask to it.
Then under same Settings/Connections/Connections, go to Tasks tab, Configure your ISP for normal GPRS, so you're still able to browse Internet via GPRS. But configure your WORK connection using modem! Enter name and select for a modem "Cellular Line" AND NOT "Cellular Line (GPRS, 3G)" or others. It will ask you for number to be dialed to work server. Best if you put it in international format. Then enter usename, password and domain on the next screen - and Advanced will give you more options like "Software Compression" or "IP Header Compression".
On Advanced tab select Dialing Rules... button if you have different rules of dialing to work depending on where you are. This would only be needed if your charges for local phone call are different from national number.
Now any attempt to get some data from server1 or server1.intra.company.com will automatically connect you to WORK via your chosen way - that is just modem. If you have modem and VPN, modem takes precedence.
2) Configure your mail client as usual. Be sure that your mailserver name falls into "Work" category: either just Netbios name or DNS name which responds to Exceptions list. Attempt to Send/Receive should refer to this server which in turn should cause dialing via normal modem and not GPRS with automatic username/password provision.
ranju has already provided instructions on how to deal with Email configuration
That's all folks!
Ta-da.
Hi EastExpert.
Thanks for the info I will give a try. Hopefully I can lay off the nurofen for a while.
If I have any difficulties is it ok if I ask for your expertise again.

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.
