i know im a noob but i have a few important questions i need to know.
1st. Can you use wifi without the data plan? I bought a unlocked qtek to use on cingular and i was wondering if using the wifi on my home router was free. I really dont want to see a surprise data charge on my bill lol.
2nd. If i bought my qtek unlocked, does that mean it comes already pre registered with the wifi G or do i have to install the cab i found on xda forums to make it G. Thanks again!

Hi ipodlover77 - welcome to the forum. Using wifi as you describe is free. With some of the newer roms it is already set to G, but if you have the same rom as me (see my signature) it will not and then install the cab you found - if you use the one i made it will affect the wifi settings only
oh, then can you please give me the url of the wifi settings you made? will the settings work on a unlocked qtek, used for cingular? thanks. and also, is it possible to stream youtube videos form the site on ur qtek? and finally, (sorry, i always have a lot of questions ) how would i know if im using cingulars data charge on wifi or my own? when i scan for networks on wifi, will it says like "pay"? thanks again for all the help.

My cab is here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=254420&page=15&highlight=wlan
Yes the settings will work on an unlocked qtek used for cingular. You should be able to stream youtube videos via your wifi router although only those that suit your screen size will prob work properly.
You should never have to pay to cingular for using your wifi on your home router - to test this you can switch your phone to flight mode (phone radio off) and wifi will still work. The only time you would have to pay for wifi is when you connect to a pay wifi hotspot and then you would have to subscribe to the service first.
so what is the difference between the wlan g tweak and the wireless plugin tweak? and also after downloading the right one, do i just move it to the memory card via usb and open the .cab over the phone? thanks

wlan g tweak - sets wlan to g mode and wireless plugin is a today screen plugin showing operator, bluetooth and wifi status. Yes that is correct way to install

No problem, this forum helps noobs period!
With the registry wizard this can do the g tweak for you, so you wont need my cab if you are going to install registry wizard.
Sorry dont know mms setting for cingular as i am uk - do a search it will be on the forum. What is book up? - do you mean look up? = google.
Ah ha quessed it now - backup! I use Spb backup and find it very good - http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/products/backup/?en
Others use Sprite backup - also very good i believe - http://www.spritesoftware.com/sprite-backup

Try this then - (from coolsmartphone.com) TinyTube.net continues to get better and better. They've now made it even easier to find, send and watch your fave YouTube videos on your mobile. Take, for example, this YouTube video. Notice the URL - it's http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RCLYGoM1GrU. Now, if you'd like to watch that on your mobile all you need to do is type http://tinytube.net/watch/RCLYGoM1GrU into the address bar. Just copy the "RCLYGoM1GrU" bit and stick it on the end of http://tinytube.net/watch/ - this can then be used or forwarded to any mobile user via text or email as the address to get the video.
TinyTube fill a very important "gap" that other sites such as Google video have already plugged - being able to convert the Flash-based videos into 3GP format for viewing on mobile devices. TinyTube.net have now added an "SMS this video to a friend" feature for the USA with plans to roll out elsewhere soon.
Boot up software = how do you mean? for what purpose?

2nd) what is the fastest rom? Im using the updated qtek firmware and it is VERY slow. And i was wondering if there is a rom, that does everything the qtek rom does but alot faster.
3rd) how do i take that fricken vibration when i send a text message? I hate feelings the vibration for only sending a message.

Hey you have set up your own thread for Q's lol. First change your name to Wizardlover77 and we are in business!
If you just turn your wifi on via comm manager it will automatically search for you. Others use wififofum http://www.pocketpcfreewares.com/en/index.php?soft=1020
Plenty of roms out there - which rom are you using? i.e. the numbers
There is molskis rom that gives you 30mb free ram and farias new 3.2aku rom just to mention a couple. Browse the wizard upgrading for a week or so before deciding to upgrade and you will need to decide if you have a g3 or g4 chip - ipl numbers - .001 = g4
Change your notification settings for messages in settings\sound and notifications not to have vibration.

Sprite is the only app that can restore after a ROM upgrade
ok. So when i turn off my phone, it says some data will lose? which exactly will the device lose?
and also if i turn off my phone. does meschles Wifi G tweak, erase? it says its still installed but are the settings messed up or is it perfectly fine still?
ok I thought of another problem. like I said before I don't have any data plan on my package so I'm surfing wifi over my own home router. ok so I found this really cool site that actually streams the videos to my phones WM. is this costing me data I don't have? the videos streaming url was like mms something. just want to make sure its not costing me money. and lastly do they charge me for downloading stuff from the internet straight to my phone while using my router connection? thanks in advance!! happy thanksgiving everyone!
I'm developting a little app....
One of its functions should be CLOSE INTERNET CONNECTION....
I've tried different ways to do that, but nothing soddisfy me...
ATM I'm using "DataDisconnect.exe" (a little app which can be found in windows folder....)
The only problem is that when I use this app, an annoying popus comes out....
Anyway.... Any chance to simply close internet connection without using that metod?
Thanks in advance....
you havent mentioned which Language u using to develop, if its C#, try here :
http://forums.microsoft.com/msdn/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=2945940&SiteID=1
its to Deactivate /Activate all Services like (Internet,WIFI,Bluetooth,WLAN..)
I use Mortscript...
So I need a particular file/app or at least a reg key to deactivate the connection...
Anyway... Thank for your interest....
Any other possibile solutions??

But I need to know an application which can do that (so I could launch it throught Mortscript...)
E.G.: Comm Manager does exactly what I mean, If you tap on connection sharing (ON-OFF), the connection is closed correctly....
So is there any way to use the same command as Comm Manager does?
hi,
I used to be able to use my mogul as modem so I could sruf the web on my laptop from the road...I made the reg changes to make it possible under WM5.
I upgraded to WM 6.1 ROM today, and I'm no longer able to get on the internet using the phone...
is there more reg changes I need to make or did they do away with this ?
well - I was able to get this to finally work using the same registry changes as before on WM5.
Question:
Is it still safe to use internet sharing on WM6.1 without sprint finding out you are using the phone as modem and charging the $40? ( i rarely use it)

or you can a,lways find a good wifi sharing program that hacks past that and those are untraceable.

Hi,
I'd like to create a script or application to enable Wifi, update manila weaher (or do any other operation e.g. download mails, etc) and finally disable Wifi.
If a can product a mortscript or a command line app for this, I could use it with Wifilocations to define rules for home gsm cell, workplace gsm cell (where wifi available).
Are there any ideas or solutions for this?
Yes, I used search button, but didn't find anything.
Thanks!
I'm pretty sure mortscript can do this. You might want to read up on it.
Hi
Search at pocketpc[dot]ch for "zeitgesteuertes-wetterupdate".
There is a complete MortScript solution.
But I'm still searching for the command-file.
Any solution? c# code, mortscript, shortcut with params?

It only acivates wifi (that's not difficult to achieve). The problem is how to force weather update...
Hi All,
I know we have many tools to achive this like: "NoData" and "TD2 Tools". But I do not want to use these Tools.
They are good tools. NoData will disable Data/GPRS, but Can't make WiFi on demand. When the TD2 Tool can do both (or can give me what I want), but I do not want use this ONLY for this purpose (I am not using other services of this tool).
So This is how I want:
I disable the data connection by Settings -> Connections -> Advanced and select "My Work Network" instead of GPRS/Internet connection. So this prevents me to use the GPRS Connection.
Now Can one of you suggest how should I edit the settings of the "My Work Network" to use WiFi when demand? Or is there any Registry edit that will make WiFi on Demand instead of Connect when phone is used
Edit: For Solution Goto POST#15 in this thread or Here.
Thanks.

If GPRS is disabled, wouldn't it automatically roll over to WiFi?
Set both to Internet and disable GPRS from registry.
Also have a read here.

Thanks Bruce for the response...
Disable/Enable GPRS from registry is tricky than Connection Settings Change. So I will prefer the connection change option.
And reg. Set both to internet.. What does this mean? How can set WiFi to OnDemand? I think on the Stock 6.5.3 Ondemand wifi option is not there like it used to be in 6.5 stock roms. (Like WiFi will be on only if you use it, but in 6.5.3 if you get device to ON mode from standby it activate/connect)

I think if you delete your current modem settings and create a new one w/o any server info, that will permanently disable GPRS and make WiFi your default.
TD2 Tools could set your WiFi on during standby.
Thanks again for reply. I am good with NOT using GPRS. So no worry on that side.
I only need assitance to set/configure WiFi so that it will be used/connected on demand (I dont want this to be connected any time I use my phone).
Note: I dont want WiFi to connect/start when I get my phone from standby to ON state, it should connect to WiFi ONLY When any application connect to Internet.
I hope my question is clear now
Thanks.
Any pointers???
In TD2 Tools 3 there is an option called "WiFi On Demand Service" which should turn on WiFi (if available) instead of GPRS when needed. Unfortunately this feature is disabled with the ROM I'm running, so I don't know if it works..did you try it?

Hi, Thanks for reply and if you see my first post, I know it is possible using TD2 Tools and also using NoData.
But I dont want to use the TD2 tools only for this feature , I know it is a GREAT tool for TD2 .
So is there any registry change or some other?
