HELP...info on GPRS billing with o2

:?: i know its not specific to xda11 but does anybody know the format of the bill when using gprs with o2...is it just a bill for the amount of data downloaded or do you get a list of internet sites visited the previous month?[/i][/b]

I just get the amount of data used for each session.

I use online statement option. Here is an example of my GPRS charges breakdown.
Code:
Date Time Destination Volume(Kb) Amount(£)
17/06/04 09:41:25 mobile.o2.co.uk 1135 2.213
All the destinations are listed as mobile.co.uk even though I was actually going to lots of different destinations.

That's because you use that APN

Yes I realise that . So to answer bluem00n's question...it looks like it doesn't show individual site URLs (at least with online statements).

Thanks for the info unfortunately my company insist that I pay for all private use (phone calls and surfing)...I receive the old fashioned paper bill...usually about three months late!!! so I am wondering how to seperate the surfing between business and private....obviously without specific site useage on the bill my private use will be remarkably low!!! :twisted: ....it just remains to be seen if my paper bill will be in the same form as your on line bill...thanks again :?:

I would be interested to know.

O2 internet billing
I don't receive mine untill the end of the month, well 15th next month and I'm told it will be billed and rounded up to nearest 5 kb, and its £2.25 per mb downloaded. including mail.

GPRS Connecting at startup!

Have searched for this and find nothing:
Whenever I restart my TyTn, GPRS connects automatically. I have not configured my email to check for mails at specific intervals. Please help me with this. Thanks!

I think your connection is configured as "always on". You can change it in the registry....

Indeed, or if you're not confident about changing registry use something like Tweaks2k2 to make the change for you along with lots of other little tricks.

You could try a less drastic approach:
Check:
Settings, Connection-tab, Connections, Advance-tab.
(hope this is correct, I don't have an english rom-version)
There you should be able to select which connection is automatically used. I have this on T-Mobile default connection since I have an unlimited dataplan and use direct-push.
When using the phone as modem, I have to switch this "off"/different setting eg. work connection to avoid conflicts.
Hope this helps

We like drastic, drastic is sooooo gooood!!
Seriously though the originator does not say he does not want to use GPRS only that he does not want it starting automatically. So the connection type maybe correct only it needs its bottom smacked for running off without daddy. We have ways in the registry to control such dis-respectful behaviour and baby Hermes must be punished or else get sent to bed with no active sync with Mummy.

Thanks for your help. I am quite comfortable with editing the registry. What specifically in the registry should I edit. Thanks!
EDIT: I already FOUND it! Thanks for the help everyone!!!

How to get area info?

In sony ericson cell phones, there is option in messages settings that you can set it to get Area Info. After that you will see some information about your cell location in first screen.
is there any program/tool for getting area info on wm5?

Such app ewisted also on Nokia
Yes, that would be good to have such app on HTC. I remember to have used an app on my Nokia (7650) that allowed to automatically change my phone profile depending on the area it received from the operator antenna.
Any info on that ?

yes you can...
- go to settings > cell broadcast
- check the 'Enable' and 'Receive Channel List'
- tap 'Add' or 'New'
- give any name (e.g: location), and enter the channel number '050'
- DONE. you will receive a message from network everytime the phone enters new area.
credits to someone in this forum (i forgot) who gives this tips.
Thanks.

Or you could install Google maps. (Visit www.google.co.uk/gmm on your mobile web browser)
It has a location function based on cell sites (no more accurate the more cells near you.. It gives you an area on the map displaying where you are (in case you've got no windows). You can then search for businesses in your area.

Another vote for Google Maps. I'm running in my 8125 and it will give you a good idea of where you're at area-wise. Plus, it's simply an excellent mapping and navigation system.
However, the way it works depends on someone with an active GPS transponder being in the same general area as you. Now, this works most of the time perfectly well, and will give you a pretty good pinpoint of where you're at (within .5km or so, is what I've found). That said, sometimes late at night when not many people are out and about, or when I go over to my girlfriend's house, who lives in a sparsly-inhabited part of town, it won't always come up with a fix.
Still, by far my favorite application on my phone.

cell channels only available in selected models
you can add a third party application but it will be dependent on your radio rom!
google maps support this but you will have to pay for it because its over GPRS or EDGE.

I am really seeking for another application, do you know one?
Also I saw in O2 XDA ppc with wm5 that there is option in phone setting for setting broadcast channels is it possible to use o2 cpl file in my ppc?

is there any GSM codes or GSM command to enable Broadcast Messages?

[Q] Simple software to automatically disable GPRS/UMTS data while roaming?

Hi out there,
searching for a while now. Found nothing, but CommMgrPro which is way to much.
I search for a simple software to automatically disable GPRS/UMTS data while roaming and enable it back when logged into my provider again.
Would be nice to have more than one "home" provider.
Any hints? Thanks and happy holidays.

the simplest way is change your mobile while roaming
i was surprised that my htc touchpro activate
data communication automatically while i
had disactivated data com before.

Modaco NoData

Thanks. At least a simple way to enable and disable.
My problem is that i live close to the boarder (germany/france) and that i flip into roaming here really fast.
An automatic solution is needed very urgend.
Locking to my provider is ok, but the htc asks me what provider to join, when back.
All that sucks.
I cant believe that there is no solution.
Is CommMgrPro able to handle that?

Nobody?
Nobody else who got this problem and nobody who got a solution?
Is CommMgrPro able to handle that? The documentation is bad.

Maybe you can PM danielherrero.
He's the creator of CommMgrPro.

I am very interested in this as well - and from my searching seems a lot of others would be interested in an automated system.
My network provider automatically roams to another specific provider when in a non-coverage area (small pockets within metro areas and rural). The problem is that the data cost when roaming is ridiculous. I use Push Email for work and while on roaming want GPRS access to be disabled until I am connected back with my provider.
I've installed NoData by MoDaCo which is good but this requires the user to remember to enable/disable GPRS.
*EDIT*
I found exactly what I needed after a more searching - Wombat's PhoneRoam Script (Stay Connected to High Speed Networks Only). Will see whether it does the job

I agree to have more that only one network provider. Here in Belgium we can subscribe to Vodafone passport that enable to use "free" of charge the data on any Vodafone network, but when I go in France it switch to other provider and in that case my push mail is expensive... I'm also in the boarder of France.
So basicaly :
1/ A very very simple prg that disable the data automatically if roaming.
2/ A version 2 that would put all permited network provider even if roaming.
Thanks

This thing exists for the iPhone. Its a simple switch in the interface.
You can select "Data-Roaming" on/off, thats all.
Where is it in WM?

Because Apple is looking this forum (like MS) to know required features and this one is in the back log.

Modaco is fine but when you are at the border is quite difficult to follow your carrier and disable data time by time...or even remember you are switching to another country after few km and you always have one app trying to connect (Tomtom, weather, opening a mail...)
Modaco it's what I use actually but let me forget stressing an unwanted roaming data connection...
a+

Used NoData and application is still able to connect...
Hi,
I switched off all data connections in the registry (using frost Advanced Config, than also tried NoData) and in general windows mobile apps aren't able to connect... but I have a one third party application, which is somehow able to ignore that and connect even when the data connection is toggled to DISABLED...
Any ideas how to REALLY disable data connections (for roaming)...

here is the automatic solution http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=503131
this will automatically disable ALL data in roaming and re-enable under home provider without any user configuration - nothing to toggle

GPRS Automatic Disconnect!

Hello, I have HTC Snap WM 6.5. Do you have experience with GPRS 1 Minute autodisconnect.cab? Works without problem? Thanks!
Yes, works I have install this cab.

Where is the Automatic Disconnet Cab???

You can just do the following regedits to achieve the same:
Go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\ConnMgr\Planner\Settings\
Change the entry "SuspendResume" Value from "~GRPS!" to "GPRS_bye_if_device_off"
Make sure the value of "CacheTime" is set to 60
This only works when there is no data being used, so if you have something running in the background like an IMAP IDLE client for browser it will probably now allow the timer to reach zero and shut off.
(Disregard Quotes, they are for visual exclusion not part of the actual entry.)

thx man
its work on omnia pro
useful trick

Is this the registry to let the phone disconnect the GPRS if not in use?
