I've got an 8525 (WM5) and read the WM5 Wiki regarding editing a reg key to enable connection of "g" only wifi points. Am I to enter new names/values? I currently only have one entry under Parms: WME_Enable
As the description below gives a default string, which is not currently in my registry, I am a bit confused about what I need to do.
The following is stated on the wiki:
While the phone by default only connects to 802.11b WiFi networks, it is capable of connecting to 802.11g WiFi networks as well, once this is enabled:
HKLM\COMM\TNETWLN1\Parms\dot11SupportedRateMask = 1 (DWORD decimal)
HKLM\COMM\TNETWLN1\Parms\dot11SupportedRateMaskG = 8 (DWORD decimal)
To set back to default:
HKLM\COMM\TNETWLN1\Parms\dot11SupportedRateMaskG = 4 (DWORD decimal)
the 8525 has a "g" chip so it always connects to a g network if available. The reg edit is for older devices which only have a "b" chip so it wouldn't even connect in at b speeds to a g router. Since most/all g routers offer a b connection this made it possible for the Hermes to see the g router and at least connect at b speed.
Thank you, wpbear, that explains the single-entry in my registry.

Is there a way/software that helps gprs to stay connected all the time even if device goes standby?
I remember I had a GPRS Setting software at JAM, where it had this option like 'always stay online' :roll:
Nothing?
Yes, there is a registry tweak to keep gprs always on...check the wiki for uiniversal or wizard
Thanks. Here it is:
GPRS always on
If you want your GPRS (or EDGE) connection to always be on, set the following:
HKLM\Comm\ConnMgr\Providers\{7C4B7A38-5FF7-4bc1-80F6-5DA7870BB1AA}\Connections\|gprs connection name|\AlwaysOn = 1 (DWORD decimal)
And to turn it off:
HKLM\Comm\ConnMgr\Providers\{7C4B7A38-5FF7-4bc1-80F6-5DA7870BB1AA}\Connections\|gprs connection name|\AlwaysOn = 0 (DWORD decimal)
Note that |gprs connection name| will depend on the name you've given your GPRS connection
BUT!
Although I change the value to ''1'', after closing Resco Registry Editor and open again, I see it is still ''0''.. I had the same problem with some other hack. So it seems i can not change or permanently save what I change. You think this is caused by Resco Registry Editor? Should I try some other software or do I forget to do something???

I recently purchased a Cingular 8125, upgrading from a SX66. On my SX66, I could connect or disconnect my connection by tapping on the [G] and selecting 'Connect GPRS'. I am wanting that same thing on my Wizard. How do I enable this? Is it a registry value?

If you configured GPRS it will automatically connect when nescessary.
And if you want to disconnect the GPRS connection, just hold the "end call" key for a couple of seconds.
Add a 'Disconnect' button (and Timer) to the Connection List for GPRS
To add a Disconnect button:
HKLM\ControlPanel\Phone\Flags2 = 8 (DWORD decimal)
To add a Disconnect button and a timer display showing how long GRPS is in use for the session:
HKLM\ControlPanel\Phone\Flags2 = 16 (DWORD decimal)
To disable both the Disconnect button and the timer:
HKLM\ControlPanel\Phone\Flags2 = 0 (DWORD decimal)
re
I use SBP GPRS Monitor - very usefull program
The holding down of the endkey is so simple. Thanks!
Connect
This program connects to GPRS
what does this gprs program do when it's connected?
It simply connects to GPRS when you tap on it.
Better put the icon in the start menu
Does it also disconnect? Because I could use something like this.
VJVolubilis will connect and disconnect GPRS and a ton of other stuff.

Is there any way to keep my GPRS connected 24/7? everytime I wanna go to the web I need to go to my connections and connect manually.
I'm using wm6 on a cingular 8125 through tmobile's network.

Hi I just got a wizard and its works great except I cant get wifi working, I keeps connecting but never gets a ip, I tried it on 2 diferent routers, I tried it with Socket Wi-Fi Companion but didnt work either
anyone got a idea what could be wrong, thanks
I just noticed it registered my dns and dhcp server on 192.168.2.1 but this is wrong... they are both one 192.168.1.1 but I have no idea how to correct it
What routers are you using? Linksys?
Any encryption or MAC filter enabled?
Did you try setting up a static IP address on your device? (SETTINGS -> WLAN)
I sometimes don't get WiFi either. A soft reset helps in that case at least on mine. Seems like the WIZ just drops the drivers for WLAN sometimes when it starts up - don't ask me why!

oh ya sory forgot to mention..
im using a linksys wrt54gl with dd-wrt firmware I tried with wpa-psk and without any security, mac filter is on but I added the mac of my ppc(didnt work disabled too
I tried static ip but I dont think i can use that if I got dhcp enabled on my router, can I?
I'll try turning that off later tho if needed
I just edited my dns server to 192.168.1.1 but the dhcp one is still wrong
If you have a REGISTRY EDITOR installed try the stuff below. Please be patient and do not make a hard reset when done but power off the wizard by pressing and holding the power button for a few seconds. The WIZ tends to drop latest changes if you soft reset it too fast. After you restarted the device see if you can connect.
Enable 802.11g WiFi network connectivity
While the phone by default only connects to 802.11b WiFi networks, it is capable of connecting to 802.11g WiFi networks as well, once this is enabled:
HKLM\COMM\TNETWLN1\Parms\dot11SupportedRateMask = 1 (DWORD decimal)
HKLM\COMM\TNETWLN1\Parms\dot11SupportedRateMaskG = 8 (DWORD decimal)
To set back to default:
HKLM\COMM\TNETWLN1\Parms\dot11SupportedRateMaskG = 4 (DWORD decimal)
Note that your network speed won't appreciably increase, but this is the only way to enable connectivity to 802.11g-only networks

i dont have a registry editer but I found this file which suposely enables g networking too
http://members.home.nl/pieterstroink/GoT_startpost/K-JAM/DJVW_HTC_Wizard_Optimizer_2_1_.0.cab
trying now..
oh but btw my router had b and g enabled
I tried this reg editer..
http://www.breaksoft.com/Blog/Utilities/2005/1/Mobile_Registry_Editor.aspx and saw dhcp server 192.168.2.1 and i tried to correct it but got a acces denied msg... if this file doesnt work ill try another reg editer
nope file didnt work
hmm any other registery editer? this one just gives acced denied the whole time
Get RESCO EXPLORER 2005. It has as well a registry adin. That should do it! http://www.pocketgear.com/software_detail.asp?id=529&cid=specials200704&source=specials
thanks I tried editing both keys but with no succes, wifi still doesnt work
im gonna try turning of dhcp...
oh btw I entered a static ip yesterday and it got connected a few times with ip
but the connections dropped way to quick (mind u the router is 5 feet away so signal quality is fine) and I couldnt open any site or ping to my routers ip
ooi it works after I disabled the security.. I only have a mac adres filter not sure if thats save enough..
If it works with security disabled, then you didn't set up the network settings on your Wizard correctly. I run WPA/PSK on my network and have no problems. I recommend reviewing your router and Wizard settings.

I had a similar problem connecting to a wireless AP (With central DHCP server) at work while my wizard worked fine at home just the other day.
I went and hardcoded the following information into the registry
HKLM\Comm\Tnetwln1\Params\Tcpip\DhcpServer
DhcpServer is a Multi Line Value. I just added the IP of our DHCP server at work to this value as an extra and it connected...
I also had to check the
HKLM\Comm\Tnetwln1\Params\Tcpip\DhcpSubnetMask value
because the network where I work has a 255.255.255.128 subnet
Hi all there doesn't seem to be the same reg key on the Hermes as there was on the Wizard. Is it possible(I did search but didn't find anything) to edit a reg key to keep my data connected when I'm running in EDGE and 3G?
give this a try:
GPRS always on=
If you want GPRS (or EDGE) connection to always be on, set the following:
HKLM\Comm\ConnMgr\Providers\{7C4B7A38-5FF7-4bc1-80F6-5DA7870BB1AA}\|gprs connection name|\AlwaysOn = 1 (DWORD decimal)
And to turn it off:
HKLM\Comm\ConnMgr\Providers\{7C4B7A38-5FF7-4bc1-80F6-5DA7870BB1AA}\|gprs connection name|\AlwaysOn = 0 (DWORD decimal)
Note that |gprs connection name| will depend on the name you've given your GPRS connection
