Hiya,
Noob here - please be gentle
Have been borwsing the site for a few days and still haven't found a definitive answer to this:
I have uninstalled the o2 bloat, but still want to be able to access o2's wap stuff (for train times, etc)
When I am at home and connected to wifi I want to use that, but when I'm out on the road I want to use GPRS. I have read somewhere that you can set up wifi to be the first port of call, and if that's not available then use GPRS. Any ideas? C'mon - you're clever!
Thanks
nevermind...I figured it out.

Hi, my father and his friend trashed the connection settings to his Ameo during a nation wide GPRS outage this morning, I'd like to eMail him the Network Wizard Cab if it's around. Not quite ready to upgrade his phone, I might put PK3 on for Christmas but for now the Wizard will help his finger fiddleing...

Hey guys i recently put touch it 4.4 on my wing and its pretty cool so far, but since i installed it im no longer to acess my Tmobile data connection. which of course means no internet or IMs!
Can anyone help me out i searched around a bit but cant find exactly how to change the settings to get things working again.
so if anyone could-
1) tell me where and which settings i need to edit
and
2) what the the tmobile settings i put into there
thanks for anyone who can help me
also: data connection under my comm manager is greyed out
There is a network wizard cab floating around here. Install that on your phone and select your service provider. Other than that you can create a GPRS connection. Go to settings, connections, add new connection. Name it whatever, DATA works, and accesspoint name is wap.voicestream.com through Cellular GPRS.
Look around, there is alot on this..
awesome thanks for the reply
had it preinstalled with the touch it rom actually, so all is now good!
Hi all,
I am in serious need of some help peeps! I am looking for what I feel should be somewhat simple (or perhaps impossible).
I would like to know how to configure my Trin (P3600) to priorities its' connection states.
Simply; I have a secured WiFi (WEP) router at home, another WiFi router at work and in between or at any other time I have GPRS, 3G, WAP (or nothing)....
I would dearly like to know how to configure my Trinity to select WiFi (if available) as priority and then fail-over to GPRS, 3G, WAP as necessary.
Am I missing the picture here? I have read the instructions, and posts on this and various other websites, some say it happens as a matter of course, other says "FAIL" not possible...
Please can I have some assistance with this issue.
For what it's worth, here are my details:
Australia, Optus mobile network
AUSDIM WM6.1: ROM 3.03.751.5
Radio 1.50.08.11
Thanks for taking the time to read this post, I hope someone can help me out.

OK, so this wasn't necessarily what I was looking for, but I think it will be of great benefit.

Hi
Just got an Orange 3G. One annoying feature is that if it drops a WiFi connection it goes automatically to using GPRS without any indication (which thens starts to cost !!!)
Orange say you can't stop this happening. Does anyone know any trick to stop this (there is no way to keep the GPRS off as there was on my old Touch)
Be grateful for any help
As I said to the person who asked the same question a few days ago *sigh*, google nodata

You need to check how your phone is connecting.
AFAIK the orange ROM uses the unique manager not the normal HTC connection manager.
This means you dont really have a WiFi connection. Orange unique is their VOIP(??) implementation.
If you have a livebox and orange as your ISP your phone will automatically switch to using your WiFi connection for phone calls saving you money, the downside is you cant use wifi for anything else.
The only way to sort it is buy flashing a different ROM.

Hi
Thanks for the info. Been trying to sort out with Orange and same answer - disable GPRS and the WiFi stops as well !!! (One of the Orange guys even admitted that it was because they don't make money on voice now, only data). The 'nodata' fix doesn't work as it also stops the WiFi. Any thoughts on which ROM I might flash?
Thanks for your help
I'm actually an Orange employee, working for Handset Faults, and looking to solve this for a customer.
There is a rom update available from HTC, which apparently fixes this, however the customer I'm trying to resolve this for, has tried updating and his serial number shows as no available ROM.
I don't think the No-data resolution will work, so hoping if theres any other solutions you guys could suggest?
I know on my current HS, which is a Hermes, I've the communication manager, which i believe isn't available on the Touch 3G, unless debranded.
Really, I'm just trying to get more advice, so would appreciate anyone's tried and tested work-around, as i've to call said customer back tomorrow, with hopefully a resolution, but if not, then he'll have to wait till a ROM update becomes available from HTC/Orange for branded handsets.
I found a solution to this problem last night that works for me on my Touch 3G with Orange.
Enter Unique Manager - Advanced Settings - Network Adapter - My Network Card Connects to - and ensure they're all set to connect to The Internet.
I have also setup a Block GPRS connection under Settings - Connections - Conections which stop GPRS connecting and can now connect via Wifi no problem.

Thanks for this - going to give it a try but when i go into Settings - Connections for the second part of your fix, where do I go next (I can't find Conections which stop GPRS connecting)
Thanks
Thanks Bob,
Will copy this and put it on my phone somehow!
Thank you very much for the advice!

Did you manage to make it work?

Unfortunately, the customer cancelled their upgrade and got another handset before trying this.
Shame really!
Thanks for the help though!

Still haven't been able to work out the second part of the fix - can you help?

I've no suggestions tbh, cause I don't own a Touch 3G, I personally run a Hermes.
I'm actually trying to follow this up, and check what Bob meant by blocking GPRS on it.
Also, would you chaps be so kind to advise me if GPS under the HTC Touch 3G uses GPRS to connect, or does it use Satelittes like a normal GPS?
Just another question my customer asked today.
Thank you,

The GPS will use the satelitte to get a signal (just like proper SatNavs), but if there's an A-GPS feature, it will use a tiny bit of GPRS to speed up the process.
It'll then use the GPRS (if enabled) to download maps for the local area if it there isn't a map already installed on the handset.
That's why it's always a good idea to disable GPRS when roaming, at £8/mb- it's a pricey thing to use.
However, you can normaly download maps using WiFi before you leave (if you know where you'll be going), which will save time and money on using the network for data.
I get asked that question alot too (I work for them too, in NT1- First Impressions)
It will use the GPRS for the GPS locator if you leave A-GPS selected. Fortunately you can disable A-GPS to stop this happening.
Interestingly, I can't find any real difference in the speed of 'finding' satalites between standard GPS and A-GPS.
Thanks for the advice guys.
So any ideas how to fully block GPRS traffic outgoing, unless wanted? So its WIFI only when my customer is at home?
No further movement on this one...
Anyone got any ideas, how to utilise the WIFI facility switching the Unique Phone part off, and blocking GPRS traffic?
Thank you,
NoData works on fone.......BUT
Hi I got my touch 3g couple days ago its on orange contract brilliant fone apart from cannot connect to wifi as you all know it still connects thru gprs so I downloaded Nodata installed on fone disabled gprs with it. So good so far switched on wifi thru unique manager then checked that data connection was still off and it was BRILLIANT I shouted.
My wifi was connected to my hub and data connection was off woo hoo
Started web browser and lo an behold Get the message "cannot connect with current connection settings"
As far as I am led to believe at the present time there is no way round this problem apart from installing a clean version of windows but if I am mistaken please tell me how to get around this problem.
Cheers Biggles
HTC touch Dual An a HTC touch 3G
I have the Touch 3g with Orange - but thanks to the guys on this forum I got rid of the Orange branding/mess by using a 'stock' rom and I am not now using Orange Unique. Then I did the following........but not sure if it works with the Orange Unique stuff.
As far I as I can see there is no explict way of turning GPRS off - if it is set up then it will connect to it when a program requests data. I have unlimited internet on my home network but I need to turn GPRS off when roaming abroad so I don't get charged silly amounts.
I found that the only way I can guarantee to stop the phone using GPRS is to change the name of the Access Point Name - then it cannot connect to the service. On my phone (a Touch 3g) it is under Settings, Connections, Connections, Manage Existing Connections - then edit the connection details. On mine it is Orange Internet - so edit this and get to the Access Point Name - which is orangeinternet in my case - i just take away a few letters at the end and save the settings.
At this point GPRS will not work because the Access Point Name is not correct and you will get a message from any program trying to access the internet if wifi is not enabled. To get it to work again just edit the Access Point Name back to what it was. In my case I do not have to switch the phone off/on - I can just change the Access Point Name at anytime and it works or dosn't as I require.
Hope this helps.

Hi,
With Orange Unique there isn't any "Manage Existing Connections" that I can find - just addding new modem or VPN? Am I in the right place?
Thanks
for the benefit of people who may be subscribed to this thread, I think I have found a fix for the orange rom using data connection instead of wifi, read on here:-
