REG HACK - Turn off GPRS totally (and back to working state) without going to settings
1: You need a Registry editor ( eg. Resco Explorer )
2: Find the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\ConnMgr\Providers\{7C4B7A38-5FF7-4bc1-80F6-5DA7870BB1AA}\Connections\
3: under that , you should see you GPRS settings , for example , mine 's OPTUS GPRS Internet , OPTUS GPRS MMS etc , pick the right one and export it to the *.REG file, and name it to something like " GPRS ON.reg "
4: Modify the setting inside ( for example OPTUS GPRS Internet ) , and change the Enabled value from 1 to 0, then export it to GPRS OFF.reg
use the GPRS ON /OFF .reg to toggle between GPRS always off and on when required.
Happy Registry editing

I have the Cingular 8125/w the new AT&T 3G Sim Card and wanted it to show the "Operator Names" so I searched for hours and all I found was this REGISTRY EDIT
\\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\RIL\OperatorNames
I added "OperatorNames" in the registry and the (MCC+MNC) and provider names, I tried this in several RIL folders in the registry and it NEVER worked for me, after some fiddling around with the registry in my phone I got it to show the Operator Names from the TOWER itself without having to add any of this here is how:
Navigate to \\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\SIM
From there you should see some strings titled:
Eons Enable
EONS Initted Flag
Network Menu Select
ONS Enable
SPN Enable
All of which have a value of 1 Except Network Menu Select, now all I did was change all the strings to a value of 0 and gave the Network Menu Select a value of 1 after that I exited the registry editor and noticed my phone said Cingular instead of AT&T, after a soft-reset all the values changed back to what they were BUT the name still says Cingular and when I did a manual network selection search it showed Cingular and i Wireless when it used to show AT&T - AT&T. How this worked I don't know and I don't know if it will work for everybody. Also I found from AT&T that within certain "City Limits" they don't allow you to switch to the roaming partner (i Wireless in my case) because they have had to many problems with people who leave AT&T coverage and it switches to the roaming partner but will linger on it too long when they are back in AT&T coverage.

It was usefull for me, I even put my name on it.
Hi *.
I have data connection called "Internet". Selected as default in Settings -> Connections -> Advanced -> Select Network and disabled with Enabled = 0 registry key. When I want to use it, I just change to Enabled = 1. Simple and fast.
But after I'm done with checking emails, disconnect "Internet" and change back to Enabled = 0, Windows still "remembers" that this connection is usable and ignores registry. I have to soft-reset to make it "forget".
Is there any way to avoid this?
You need to do a soft reset after registry changes to fully save the change.
If you don't want the data line to stay on then don't make that registry change. When you select "Send/Receive" in Outlook the data line will come on automatically. You can also turn the data line on by launching Internet Explorer.
That regsitry key is really for people who want the data line to stay on all the time.
I want to automatically select the default network to which the device connects
(the first combo in Settings->WirelessControls->menu->Connections->Advanced->SelectNetworks -
See attached image)
My problem is as follows -
When I set up the connection to the operator -
it sets the default network to be <<3G Portal>>
I want to automatically change it to <<Internet 3G>>
(Or in the worst case -
Automatically delete the <<3G Portal>> -
making the <<Internet 3G>> the only available option -
which will force it to be default)
Does anyone know how to do this ?
(Even if some Cpp/C# code is needed - does anyone know the API ?)
Thanks
Not a lot of sense there
Looking at the screen print
The phone is set up to access the web FIRST via the 3G portal (every phone needs a portal to get online).
The second option looks to me to be a WIFI connection. Wifi always take priority over gprs/3g/hspa
so unless you can make a bit more clear what your looking for......................

Of course, if you mean a different web access point get the APN settings and manualy add then from the settings menu - wireless and networks access point names - press the menu button - add apn
As I understand your Q, you wanna auto set the default network without having to manually change it everytime you hard reset / change roms?
Here's what I do for such things.
Get ceregistry editor, connect to your phone, export the registry to file, then, on the phone, change the default access point to the one you would rather it was, (possibly reboot phone here to be sure the registry has changed the default apn,) back into ceregistry editor, compare current registry to the snapshot, figure out which key changed, and to what value, then provision that reg key (via a cab, or provxml,) whenever you hard reset, after the network has been set up. (I have a cab with dozens of tweaks in it,you can just keep adding to it)

Thanks for the reply.
Both connections are over the Cellular network.
The first one (3G Portal) is set up by the operator to go via some proxies and stuff, which block certain services/sites as they are not stored on this proxy.
The Second one is "unfiltered" internet connection over the Cellular network.
Whenever the network is detected and set up, the settings are automaticelly set to go via the "proxied" connection.
I want to change it to work over the unfiltered connection.
I would like to know the registry keys or any other place this information is kept, so I could automatically change it.
I tried searching the registry for these values but could not get to a definite conclusion about where exactly the "default connection" is stored, or if it is stored in the registry altogether.
(If it is stored in the registry - I do NOT want a complete registry import/export - just the relevant keys)
Many thanks in advance.
Yes it is stored in the reg, but it stores an ID for each connection which is different for everyone, hence the method I suggested which would reveal both the key and the ID, I wasn't suggesting you import a whole registry, simply make a cab of just the one key. It would take about 10 mins to do, but I'm not running winmo so can't lookup the key for you.

Try using Data Controller by Red Frogfish. With this app, you can turn on and off all of your different connections indvidually.
Since, I have T-Mobile, I have the following connections:
T-Mobile Data
T-Mobile MMS
T-Mobile Internet
And, Data Controller lets turn each on or off as needed/wanted.

Ok, thanks.
I will try this method.
Hey there to all.
Since I had Windows 8 on my Ativ Smart PC, I have been able to change APN connection of my device in order to use a different connection than that provided by the system.
Simply,after clicking on newtork icon in status bar, i was right clicking on network name, selecting connection properties and then changing the APN name.
Now that I updated to windows 8.1, the ability to access to network properties is missing by right clicking the network name and I have to access "PC settings/Network" to reach my network.
No problem, up to now, but the issue comes out when i try to change the apn name.
first of all I cannot change the name of the apn given by the provider.
(this should not be a real problem, considering that there is the possibility to create a custom setting)
secondly, even if I set to use the custom settings, if I get out of network setting screen and then I re-enter it, the APN selected is back to the unwanted one.
Is there a way to edit "drastically" APN set by provider? Maybe a regedit workaround?
Thanks in advance
Andrea
