I must have changed a setting because now I'm getting a little icon in the lower right corner of my screen whenever I am connected to ActiveSync. I can't recall how I turn this off -- anyone able to help me?
Thanks!
This can happen when you disable advanced network functionality:
start/settings/connections/usb to pc/tick box
this will get rid of the icon - however, take care because most people disable this to get activesync to work better/at all, so doing this may rid you of your icon, but may bring back the activesync probs!
Unfortunately this solution does not work - I switched advanced network functionality off (in order to connect to WM6), but the icon still stays in the tray...

Hi guys, i need a bit of help for all of you, i recently bought a Belkin F8T012UK dongle hoping to do sync and internet over the Bluetooth, first thing i notice is the driver is not Vista Ready, so i went to their site and download the latest driver, it gave me a hell of the time to install, and i wasn't 100% it install ok.
Anyway, the main thing is the sync doesn't seems to work, my Athena can pick up my computer, but if you click and check what servers it provide, it provide none. so, no sync, no file transfer, nothing.
Any idea guys?
solved!
nvm got it working finally..........

Just a thought Wu...try turning on flight mode to break all wireless connections and then switch phone/radio back on.

Go to Start>Settings>connections>USB to PC and tick on enable advanced network connection.
For my work pc, I cannot sync with this feature on, so if you have problem syncing, go back and untick.

what is that suppose to do? to hide the icon or enable me to sync via bluetooth? At the moment, i can sync no problem, it just everytime when it's connected, a connection icon appear on the system tray, which takes up one row of space on my screen, all i am trying to do is disable this icon, so the system tray won't appear to take up my space. Any idea?

funny enough, after i have successfully sync my Athena with PC vis bluetooth, this option doesn't work anymore, everytime i click it, it will load up the menu for 0.1 sec and just disappear. Strange.....but not a big deal really
I was wondering how to turn off the slide control on TouchFlo so that the phone stays "open" after it hibernates.
Also, whenever I want to connect to WiFi at home, it asks for the password... how can I save the encryption key inside the phone?
Thanks!
Ok I figured out the 2 questions and came up with 1 more. I clicked around the phone and clicking on iLock turns off the slider. And the encryption key seems to be saved now.
When I go to IE, however, it will try to connect through GPRS, even though I don't have it. How can I delete GPRS from the phone (will never use it) or disable it and make it use WiFi first?
Thanks!
Do a search, there are threads on disabling GPRS. You need to manually start wifi. IE will then use wifi even if GPRS is configured.

Comm manager shows Wifi on. Settings->WiFi shows connected. The WiFi icon is alive and kicking at the top of the screen. And it still goes only for GPRS
Can you verify that wifi is actually working by getting out vis some other application (like email)? What specific device do you have (8125, Qtek, etc.)?
I own a HTC Polaris, before this I had the XDA Orbit.
Since the Polaris I miss the Bluetooth-Icon when BT is turned on. Except the blinking blue diode I cannot check if BT is turned on.
Is there a possibility to get an BT-Icon when BT is switched on?
To Admin: My provider "3 - Austria" is missing in the Provider section in my User CP.
I dont know about the missing bluetooth icon, but for your operator you could chose Australia - Three...
Thanks, but there are no kangaroos in Austria
So if you turn BT on, you get the BT Symbol next to the 3G/E/G symbol?
Unfortunately not. But what you can do is tap the connection icon*, a bubble will pop up which tells you what kind of connectivity you have. This includes BT, WLAN and max network speed (3G, G, E, ...). Other than that there's only the blue LED and the on/off indicator in the CommManager...
*it's the "first" icon, the 3G/G/E/... icon or, if you are connected using WiFi, the "tower" with those horizontal arrows.
Alternatively you can select Ireland - Three, if you're more comfortable with them. They speak a weird English too, so language wise it doesnt really matter
Your idea doesn't work either.
In the bubble I can only see the standard Icons like 3G, the signal strengh, battery status and loudness - but not BT Symbol.
wtf...? See screenshot attached...
I have a Mac so I don't with active sync and BT. But I have activated the Wireless Menü at the bottom of the start screen, so I can see if WLAN or BT is turned on/off. But thx for you help.
It actually wasnt about the connected ActiveSync but more about the shiny blue Bluetooth "B" in the top left corner of the bubble The ActiveSync connection was needed for the screenshot...
Ah okay. I have disabled dies bubble because everytime the polaris connects to HSDPA I get this bubble, and this is really annoying.
So summarized, it's impossible to get the BT icon on the top like the WLAN icon?
Alternate solution: grab battery status ext - it allows to have bt and wifi icons in the right bottom corner - from there you can switch all the things on and off, perform actions like bt pairing or wifi connection establishment.
Thanks for your help.
I've done a search, but can't find any way to get a plug-in for the Today screen where I can switch wireless, etc, on or off...
Any ideas or recommendations?
I must admit, that would be handy
Having to click the signal icons at the top of the screen, then a specific one, wait for a second for it to tell me there is no wireless connection (yes - I know! - it's becuase you went to sleep becuase I ignored you for a minute, so you turned yourself off and turned off the pigging wireless connection for me! ), and then click comms manager...
is indeed a PITA
Just found http://www.paulbdesign.com/effcomm/ which appears to work on a WM6 screen (i.e. not TouchFLO).
However it doesn't have GPRS which is my main concern as I can never tell how much data I'm using and I'm paranoid it'll be doing stuff...
Hello,
I just bought a Leo. My provider is Vodafone IT.
From the very first moment, while WiFi is present in my house, the phone tried to connect to Internet via UMTS. It does so often when Wifi is temporarily unavailable.
After my old Glofiish M800, one year ago, made me spend 3€ for two consecutive connections for the duration of a half second each (1.50€ on connection then) I requested Vodafone to completely disable Internet access for my SIM card. All I did then was to connect the PDA to USB cable and SPB Weather immediately tried to update weather without even waiting for Net via ActiveSync to become available in a few seconds.
With Leo, I also deleted all network access points from configuration, set all profiles to Office Network and unchecked (my ROM is Italian) "This connection has Internet access" "Questa connessione dispone di accesso a Internet".
What occurs now is that often, but really OFTEN, even during the night, especially when I'm on the road and I'm not interested in Facebook, YouTube or weather, the phone turns on and two popup appear:
One as a notification "Called: " (before deleting AP "Called: web.omnitel.it" "Chiamata effettuata: web.omnitel.it"). The other as error message about problems with GPRS.
I also have to pay great attention to the second popup. Once, but fortunately not today, it went over the lock screen and I was unable to unlock it as the slider was below the popup. I was also unable to close the popup as the screen was locked so I had to soft-reset.
I only installed TomTom and Core Player for now.
I DON'T WANT TO PAY VODAFONE LOTS OF MONEY FOR UMTS ACCESS WITHOUT MY CONSENT, NOR SIGN UP FOR FLAT PLANS AS I HAVE WIRELESS ACCESS IN EVERY PLACE I USUALLY GO!!!
Can somebody help me tell Leo to NEVER TRY to use UMTS? I had to agree with Vodafone that I would have been unable to even send MMSs and perform videocalls until I restore UMTS, but I can't spend this huge money for the sake of weather and for greedy (it's the right word) software that just want to connect to the Internet whenever THEY want (ie. Windows Vista/7 does Windows Update only when Internet is detected, it never tries to connect until you do manually).
Thank you. Please anser me ASAP. If I don't find a solution, I will return the PDA to the seller (it's a great PDA, I wouldn't like to)
settings menu all settings connections connections advanced tab select networks change the top drop down to "my work network"
hope it helps!
Hi, I followed what you suggested and, in order to test faster, I tried to manually update weather from HTC Sense.
First of all, even if I uncheck the Internet access checbox from Office Network ("My work network" you mentioned), I always see it comes back again. I found that "ISP settings" only shows two tabs, and no Internet/proxy checkbox, so I also tested selecting this connection.
I also entered "*" as list of intranet addresses.
Every time I try to update weather, for all of these tests, I see the 3G arrows on top of notification bar flashing for a couple of seconds and the same exact alerts
Does your phone always connect to 3G?
[EDIT] I also tested http://www.htc.com/au/faqs.aspx?p_id=297&cat=264&id=118112, no result. But actually the help page says it clearly: it's normal that the phone will notice errors.
Is there any registry tweak or what?
Hello,
To solve your problem, go to the redfrogfish website, google to find the link. Download and install the Data Controller cab.This enables you to turn on/off the data connection function of the HD2
(I wanted to give you the link, but I am a new user and not allowed to do so)
Good Luck

I think you are going further into the settings than i need to.
settings - menu - all settings - connections - connections - switch to advanced tab - click 'select networks'
See my image 1 - setting the top dropdown to 'my work network' (or 'the internet', it gets called slightly diff thing depending on your setup, ,)) means it will look for whatever active connection is available and use that.
I also have a commmanager that has seperate on/off toggles for 3g and data.(see pic 2) So, if i turn off data connection, but leave 3g on, even though i have 3g (well, H) showing available on the top bar, if i go to update the weather it comes up with 'connection error'. If i start opera, it fails, etc etc.
Back into comm manager., turn back on the data toggle, everything works again.
If i turn off 3g, and leave data off, I get the same results.
