How to kill GPRS always ON?

Hi
It seems that my JasJar keep always on my Data communication (in 3G Mode) this is fine but during the night I want him to not synch with exchange server (even if I put all stuff in manual) at 2h30 am it synch and keep the connection until I wake up, is there any way that can change make my connection shut down when he my JasJar finised his work? (I can put the tel on flight mode ok but...)
Thanks

From the MDA Pro Extended Rom that I uploaded, you can take the cab Signed_Disable_GPRS_Autoattach.sa.CAB and run that. It automatically switches off GPRS after usage.

The 8125 is great but how do I fix these issues?

My 8125 is about a month old now and it is great. It’s my first experience with push email and it’s wonderful. I do have a few problems that I can not find a fix for. I have read many forums and have come to the conclusion that these features are either broke or were meant to work incorrectly.
1.) If you leave Pocket Outlook as the foreground task the 8125 will not notify you in any way that you have a new message. You have to turn the device on to check for new email. If Pocket Outlook is not running or its running in the background the phone will beep and the orange light will blink. If the phone is in standby it should notify you of a new message no matter what.
2.) The Bluetooth LED is always blinking. I always use a Bluetooth headset and it’s very common when I am driving to leave iNav GPS software running that uses a Bluetooth GPS. There is no reason for me to ever turn Bluetooth off so I do not need to be notified it is on or off. It would be nice if I could change the Bluetooth LED to notify me of voice mail or a missed call and the orange light can be used for new push email or SMS/MMS messages.
3.) When you open the keyboard it should light up. If you are in a dark room you have to open the keyboard the press a key to get it to light up. I also have not found a way to change how long it stays on for. There are a few reg hacks that claim they change the time but they do not work on my 8125.
4.) Every time I use WiFi I have to change my internet profile so it does not use a proxy. When you turn the WiFi radio on it should automatically change that info. When you turn WiFi off it should change it back automatically.
The following two have nothing to do with the 8125 but if someone has a fix it would be helpful.
5.) When you use push email your IT department can force a policy on the phone to ask for a password every 30 min of inactivity. This is a real pain if you are using a GPS. I found a reg hack that lets me change it to 24 hours but the policy gets forced on the device once a day and I have to run the reg hack again. Has anyone found a way around this?
6.) iNAV GPS Software has a bug that makes the voice navigation on all WM5 devices go very very very slow. The fix is to turn off the GPRS radio. When you do that all your push emails do not come in. iNAV claims they are working on a fix but I was curios if anyone found a way around this issue.
If anyone has any advice on these items it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
SeanH

There is no fix for the keyboard light issue. It is a flaw in the way it was built and is a hardware-activated light, so registry keys won't do anything.
Sorry, but that's all I have for you.

I don't have a fix but just work around. What i am doing is to create a separate connection for wi-fi (no proxy). When you need to use wi-fi instead of gprs, you can simply select this connection from settings-->connections-->advanced-->select networks. Hence you don't have to remove the proxy settings for gprs everytime you use wi-fi. It takes a few steps but still easier than add/remove proxy settings. Hope this helps.

I use iNav GPS software a lot but I didn't realize this issue. It seems running perfect, voice prompt, recalculation, display... which version of iNav are you using?

I have a T-Mobile MDA (US) and use Pocket Informant v5 as the default PIM. I don't normally have PI in the foreground but haven't noticed this behavior under any circumstances.

Just touch the bottom right key or the spacebar and the keyboard backlight will turn on without affecting anything else. I've heard complaints about this but I can't see why this is an issue. OTOH, the timing of the backlight is another matter, and it should be adjustable. Alas, it appears not to be.

Mine just logs onto a network if available, and I haven't had any problems with wifi at all.

I'm using iGuidance v3 and haven't noticed this, but GPRS isn't being used. I'm not sure how to enable/disable it, but in Settings > Connections > GPRS it is set to "Chap Authentication." When upgrading firmware I do not auto-load the Ext. ROM programs and have only a few loaded manually, so the GPRS functionality may not be fully implemented. Needless to say, I am not subscribing to internet service at this time.

In a dark area it’s hard to see the keyboard until it lights up. I use the right arrow to get this display to light up. When you press the space bar it will enter a space in what ever app is active. Not turning the light on when the keyboard opens is a design flaw. Most people open the keyboard to use it. As soon as you press any key the light comes on so you can see the keys. It just makes sense to turn the keyboard light on when you open it so you can start typing.

It looks like iNavcorp is in the process of posting a fix. This is from there web site.

GPRS data monitor.

Hey, guys!
I'm looking for a very simple app. that keeps track of how much data is/was transferred via GPRS. I have tried Wireless Monitor from SPB and it works flawlessly until i soft reset the phone with Wi-Fi turned on. Then Manilla won't start and i have to hard-reset the phone in oder to be able to boot it up again.
The app. has to be compatible with Jade.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
I can't imagine why in the world Microsoft has not integrated this feature into the OS. Symbian has it, Nokia OS has it... It's crazy, if you ask me.

I run Efficasoft's Smart GPRS Traffic monitor.. Seems to survive soft resets etc without any problems...
Put in the date your monthly billing starts and the amount of inbuilt data in your package and just let it get on with it...
Works perfectly on my Jade (Orange UK Touch 3G)...
I've not had any interaction problems with manilla or any other app on the phone..

I also use the Spb Wireless Monitor. I had never problems with it, even when soft-resetting the phone. No idea what happened to you.

wifi + auto update

hey all,
i am thinking of purchasing a samsung jack i637 smartphone running 6.1 standard. i am wondering if it would be possible to configure the device such that it will automatically update weather, rss feeds, podcasts from standby @ a scheduled time every morning from a wifi connection? and after the update is done wifi will disconnect and device will return back to standby.
i currently don't have a data plan but my wifi at home is always on. does anyone have a similar setup?
i've tried researching a bit.. and i have seen wm programs that can turn on wifi on a schedule. i've also seen some weather and rss programs have a setting for auto-update.. however i am unsure if it works for cellular radio independent wifi connection. i've also seen something with mortscripts, however that sounds quite complicated.
any comments would be greatly appreciated. perhaps is this possible on the nokia symbian devices?

[Q] xv6800 as pocket pc

I have a verizon xv6800, that i would like to use only as a pocketpc with wifi, usb and bluetooth. I have no interest in having phone or texting capabilities, just the use of the pocket computer.
Can anyone point me to the software that I would need to load to accomplish this?
Thanks in advance for your time and patience.
Daniel

Just go to the communications manager and turn off the phone function.

yeah that could work as half a fix, but does nothing to eliminate the verizon part of the software, nor the messages/reminders i keep getting about voicemails, and sms mssgs., that are on the phone, that i cant access to remove.
Really just need the ppc functionality, with wifi, bluetooth, and usb.
Thanks for responding tho.
Daniel

I'm not against reflashing the unit with a new rom that has no phone/sms capabliities, just WM 6.1 with usb, wifi, and bluetooth, but there are like eleventy billion posts here, and its a bit overwhelming as to where to start.
