Hello all,
First off, I'd like to say this site is definitely a great place to look at cool tips and tricks.
Ok, on to my problem. I was having problems with my gprs connection being on all the time no matter what. I'd hangup a call and it would automatically connect. I realized I had an idea how to fix it, when I went to go create a new connection, I couldnt use my old connection's name, even though they was deleted. So I opened PHM Regedit, did a quick search and found the old connection Cingular GPRS. I deleted both entries that I found for Cingular GPRS and a few other keys.
Now, the Gprs never comes on which is good, but the bad part, when I access opera, PIE, livesearch, googlemaps, tomtom, or anything else, it does not try to connect to Gprs and says internet is not working.
I have a cingular 8125 and when I go into the comm manager, and click wifi settings, and click network cards, normally I had like the internet, and work to pick from the drop down, now it's a blank drop down and Im 99% sure that's where my problem lies. if anyone could assist me in getting the gprs working again without doing a hard reset, hell I'll take an export of your registry if I can read it on my homepc, Ill swift through and find what i deleted or anything. Any help would be appreciated, the last thing I want is to format.
I figured xda developers having their own roms and whatnot can give me some awesome needed help, I haven't had internet for about 24 hours, I never even knew how much I used it.
Oh yeah, I know it's that drop down bar because even when connected to wifi it wont work.
Thanks in advance guys!

Hi
Without going through every application how can I setup the connection options to only automatically connect when wifi is available or when docked. Idealy I would like to be prompted to connect via GPRS or 3g network? Any reg hacks on this one?
Regards
Eric
GPRS connection disable or prompt
hi, I'm having the same issue as above...would like to connect to GPRS manually only.
anyone !??!
me to, i am only on a limited plan for gprs/3g and the costs are quite high 2c p kb.
i use wifi at home a lot, so usually not a problem, but dodgy activesyncs to exchange server, or accidentally opening IE auto connects 3g gprs without prompting.
Any hacks, or software that anybody knows about.
I also need this, i ran my bill up without knowing/wanting to

I have changed my default IE page to "about:blank" - at least it means that IE doesn't go off trying to load a page by default that I'm most likely not interested in, but it also prevents it from connecting GPRS/3G should you start it by accident.
Cheers,
Steve.
Has anyone had any luck with this? I also am on an expensive tariff and unwanted connections prove costly. I have not yet found the answer, but will keep you all posted if I stumble across a setting/hack.
Would also like some tips on this, dont know whats dialling up 3g, but everytime i looked at my phone it was bloody connected grrrr.
Im also intressted, i need like a on/off button for the gprs. My damn egress updates my blogs/rss streams all the time. I have disable autoupdate in egress but it still wants to update sometimes :/
I've found nothing yet and have resorted to removing my GPRS settings until sorted.
I will crack open C# and attempt my first PDA utility - with the aim being to prevent GPRS/GSM from connecting unless something is manually toggled. Wish me luck
dudes, this has been posted a few times already
it's a part of the t-mob ext rom.

What does this cab file do exactly? Does it give you an option to manualy connect or does it turn GPRS off completely? Plus where can we find the option to turn it ON if we can?
One more thing please, can I install this cab file on my O2 XDA Exec without any conflicts since it was made for T-Mobile?
I am not 110% but I believe it appears in a number of carrier ext roms, and just stops GPRS from being attached all the time (like an idle disconnect perhaps?)
When you want GPRS, then you can connect by starting the application you want (ie : Internet Explorer) and GPRS kicks in.
Hope it helps.
Joe
couldnt find it in mine, using the imate jj.
will install and see what happens....
using vijay's method http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=37963
you still get the msg that it is trying to connect and eventually an error msg, but better than a big phone bill
Hi guys !
I've installed the .cab on my 9000 and G icon is now disappeared
In the future will be possible to uninstall the .cab and restore the icon ?
Thanks :wink:
This doesnt seem normal to me as i dont remember this happening when i first got my 8125. When i go to internet explorer after i turn on wifi and connect to my home network it starts loading the page and then the connecting to gprs dialog box shows up. It still seems like it is using wifi but when i click on the wifi signal the gprs time meter is counting up. It seems to me like it shouldnt try to connect to gprs if the wifi signal is already picked up and connected. I thought i remembered reading about this somewhere but ive read so many topics in different places that i cant find it. Is this normal or should i do something to fix it? Thanks in advance.
Ty
anyone?
i just did this last night ..hopefully i rememebr the steps
but what you essentially have to do is remove the connection to the GPRS network and then itll stop connectinig to GPRS brb with an edit ill have to retrace my steps
*EDIT*
ok i think this is how i did it
tap start --settings -- connections tab -- then tap on connections and then make sure that there are no connections for GPRS i know its a little vague but i really forgot how i did it..
can't say that that helped me to much, sorry. I dont want to eliminate the gprs all together, i just dont want it to connect when im using wifi. Please help!
even with wifi on when it goes to sleep it will be the gprs that kicks in - pain in the butt :shock:
im just looking for a fix for this. Unfortunately my work doesnt have wifi so i cant test some things ive read here to see if it still does it. I have tried going into connections-network adapters- and selecting "the internet". Also, when i go to settings--connections--connections-advanced should i have media net, my isp, or my work selected? not sure if this has anything to do with my problem but i just want to make sure. Also, when i am connected to wifi and my gprs timer is also going, which is it using? I have an unlimited data plan so its not the biggest deal if its running but i just want to make sure im using wifi, not gprs.
RegistryWizard?
Are you using the program called "registry wizard"? I know one of the tweaks/registry edits is called GPRS always on. It might be the cause if one of the registry settings is telling the OS to always have a GPRS connection regardless of whether or not there is a WiFi connection or a program is requesting internet data...

You will select either 'My work network' or 'My ISP' depending on which rom you're using. If MEdia Net is selected, it will use GPRS. To tell whether or not it will use GPRS on any of these settings, you hit the 'edit' button. Don't change anything, but check it out, and it will tell you whether it will connect to GPRS if anything is in there. For me, 'My ISP' has 'auto pick' which means if it finds wifi or wifi is enabled, it will use that first, if not then use GPRS. If you have a stock rom, 'My ISP' may not have anything in it, therefore it will use wifi, or nothing. Remember to associate any wireless router you have to either your 'work' or 'internet' profiles.
awsome, looks like that worked. One question though....am i affected in any way by not having it set to media net? Will my edge and everything still work the same if i leave it on my isp? Thanks for the help
Ty
EDIT: It works better than it did but every so often it trys to connect to edge but it usually doesnt unless im inactive for a bit online. Is this supposed to happen?
I now leave my setting set to ISP instead of MediaNet and at first it is just connected to wifi but then as soon as it is done loading a page gprs tries to connect again so i have to hit cancel like 6 or 7 times to stop gprs from connecting. After that it doesnt try to connect but i wish i could avoid this because its a pain when im just trying to find something real fast. I just downloaded opera today and only tried a few pages on my wifi network and from the couple minutes i used it i dont think it ever tried to connect to the gprs while i was using wifi. i will have to test this a little bit more to confirm but is there any way its IE that could be causing the gprs to try and connect even though it has a full wifi signal?

When you deleted the Cingular GPRS key, you wiped out your internet settings. I'm sorry to say, but a hard re-set needs to be done, because the key you deleted has several decimal, binary, & string values with assigned data to each value. Ask for help before trying to fix yourself especially if you're not sure what you're doing...
So, I spent all morning unlocking my MDA, and was hoping it would correct my wifi issues even though it didn't make much sense to assume this... Once I flashed the tmobile 2.26 rom back to the device, I was able to conenct to my home router and pull web pages. I had reset my router settings and have left it wide open while testing the issues. I connected one time, viewed a few pages, and then disconnected. Now, I can still "connect" the the router, but cannot access anything through it like pulling web pages or downloading email. I do get an IP address assigned, and I do get good signal strength.
I have searched endlessly here, and have heard something about upgrading the radio rom...? Is that what I need? And if it is, I still had issues finding this rom to install. I have a G3 MDA on TMobile USA, currently using the TMobile 2.26 rom, IPL/SPL are both 2.26. Thanks for any info...
I was just reading that post about the 5.99 t-zones... and saw that you had posted about the t-mobile settings. Do you have your internet settings set up to use the t-mobile proxy? If you do, you have to remove the proxy before being able to connect over wifi.
Are you kidding me? I cannot believe I have never noticed this. It worked immediately. We have a wireless ap here, and as soon as I removed the check mark for the proxy, it works fine. I am sure there is a way but I'll ask, can there me multiple settings setup so I do not have to go in and enable/disable the proxy everytime?
Yah, thats easy to do. Just go to connections settings and click on add a new modem connection and set it up the same way as the t-mobile connection just don't have it use a proxy. The only problem is that you still have to go to your connection settings and switch the network selection when you want to change back and forth.
There's also another way if you have batterystatus installed, it has an option to disable proxy if wifi is enabled. I'm not sure if it actually works or not, I've never gotten around to trying it out yet. I'm assuming that it does though because I keep up on the batterystatus thread and I haven't seen that being mentioned as a bug recently.
One other thing, if you want to connect to the internet over activesync you also have to disable the proxy. I asked Ikarus if he'd add disableing the proxy over activesync as an option to batterystatus also and he said he'd think about it. It'd be nice, but it'd pretty much only be useful to people that have t-mobile so I doubt he'll add it any time soon.
Now thats even weirder as I had no problem with the active sync internet connection. I will play around with the multiple connections method, and also try the batterystatus tool... Do you know if this is still a problem with any of the WM6 roms? I have been reading up on those and am ready to either try one of the precooked ones or cookin my own...
Yah, it's still an issue with WM6. I have a direct link to the connection settings in cLaunch on my today screen though which makes it a whole lot easier to switch back and forth.
The way I started out with WM6 was to flash a precooked rom (xm6) and spent a week or 2 getting to know all of the apps that were installed and whether or not I thought I'd use them and also figureing out if they still had bugs or not and then I went and cooked my own rom. It made it a whole lot easier and I was able to cook only the things I wanted in to it without having all the extra things in it I didn't.
Yeah, I have been all over the upgrading and wm6 forum. I have a week vacation coming up, maybe I'll make a "recipe" then....
Hey guys, i have flashed to a few ROMs in the past and my phone would always give me the trouble of no data connection. My tmobile wing is hard spl and running currently on papa's black diamond. whenever i tried to go to the comm manager to activate the data connection, it just wont turn on while other buttons i have no problem turning on such as wlan and bluetooth.
i've also tried launching internet but it just says there's no data connection and ask me to go to settings. i still can make calls but just completely no data connections. i have also soft resetted it several time and no luck. =/
help would be great!
ps. i've looked up several other threads with the same problem, however, theres really nothing under connections except add new so it didnt help much.

I think you have to use the Network Wizard. If it is not in that rom, can install it using the cab, it's should be around this forum.
thanks live! but i'm not sure which network wizard cab file works and which doesnt.. so a friend helped me set it up manually. thanks though!!

What, have you heard that question before?
Ryan
yes my fone is having the same problem and now i cant flash to a new rom
i flashed for the first time yesterday, and had the same problem. just call tmobile and tell them somehow your data connection information has deleted, and they will run u through what to put in the fields. and don't forget to go to the network wizard, to make sure its on the right network.
Same problem except it WAS working (my gprs/edge) until I added my first wlan entry.. of my apartment's wifi which works. But after I was done using it i turned the wlan off from comm manager and expected to see the big E for edge and instead just see the two arrows with the little x under it. I can no longer connect to gprs/edge. If i open the internet explorer to view a page, it flashes a "G" with the arrows like it's trying to connect forever. At that point it will not even let me make or receive calls until I reboot the ppc. Network wizard won't fix it as I've already tried, twice... no change. My data connection for T-mobile is set up already under "connections tab" but it just doesn't work. My best guess is something has gone wrong in the registry... but as much as I've searched for this kind of problem I find nothing... just stuff how to fix wlan problems. btw, i'm on tmobile. Oh, it won't even activesync if my wlan is off now... I have to enable the wlan and let it connect to my home network... and THEN it will go through activesync without error. This is nuts, I already hard resetted once because of this and now it's the same story. Maybe it's just a prob with the opentouch 6.5 nofrills version that's just basic and let's the users add their own apps.
