I recently went through my wizard and modified the internet settings to allow me to connect through GPRS on T-Mobile's $5.99/mo plan...
Well, good news is that the GPRS works flawlessly (havn't tried my imap mail yet but I can really care less if it works.)
The bad news being that ever since I modified those settings, the WiFi connection refuses to load anything through IE. Any ideas?
Edit:
Ok, so the gist of things is that everything is working as it should be. I figured I'd link to the resources needed to set up your internet with t-mobile using the 5.99/mo plan first. One step I don't think this lists is this though: Head on over you t-mobile.com and login to my-tmobile. Change your phone from your MDA to something like a RAZR etc etc. This will allow you to select the 5.99/mo internet package (t-zones). Then follow the steps in this thread to set up your MDA.

THEN to automaticly disable the proxy while using WiFi (a must if you plan on using both on a regular basis), download the current version of battery status ATTACHED to the first post of the thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=270751 Enjoy
Unfortunately, the wizard is a bit weird. I have a Dash, and I never had an issue, but, with the Wizard, or TMO MDA, you have to disable the proxy in order for the WIFI to connect to your home network, or any other network for that matter. I was frustrated too, until i found out that was the issue.
Hope it helps.
yep, solved the problem. Now is there any way around this? or do I just need to keep changing the proxy when I want to use GPRS?
If you have batterystatus installed go in to options and then the tools tab and it has a disable proxy over wifi tool. I'm not sure if it works though, I've never tried it out.
I DO have battery status...I'll have to check it out and give it a good test over the next 24hrs and I'll report back
update: just ran in my room and pulled my wiz of the charger. the battery status doesn't seem tl have an option under any of the tabs. I'll have to make sure I have an updated version come morning and I'll go from there
bumpity bump bump
I noticed that when I turn off the proxy server, it seems to forget all the information I put in...so when I want to use gprs again, I can't without imputing all the proxy information again. Is there a stand alone program that makes the wizard ignore the proxy when WiFi is active?
That's an easy one to fix. Just set up a second t-mobile modem connection and have the first one use the proxy and have the second one not use a proxy and just change the modem connetion under connections to whichever one you need to use. By the way, I tested the batterystatus no proxy when connected to wifi and it does work. If yours doesn't have that option under the tools tab then you just need to download a newer version. Here's the link to the BS thread that alweays has the newest build - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=270751.
Turns out that instead of clicking the link the original poster posted on the BS thread, I needed to DL the beta version that was attached! I now see the option you were talking about for disabling the proxy. Tx.

Thanks for the info. For the longest time I kept removing the proxy settings so the wifi would connect but then I would have to re-enter once I was going to use GPRS. This certainly saves time and headaches.

I've been having a bugger of a time with the Wi-Fi on my 8525. I keep getting a response that the WEP key is incorrect. I was able to connect once, and have since deleted my settings that the Wi-Fi network, but nothing I'm trying seems to get me connected.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
I had a problem with my Wifi working when I first got the phone. But since I wanted to SuperCid the phone I had to downgrade the IPL to do so. I re flashed to the same Cingular 1.34 with IPL 1.06. Since then I have not had any problems with the Wifi.

Here's a thought. Why not try the Hitchhiker application. It tends to get round quite a few issues in set up. Also once you've got it working and connected to Wifi you can close it down if you wan to and you'll find it has saved correct settings for your normal way of connecting to wifi. Another benefit is that you can cut the wep key from a text document and paste it into the box it gives you (saves a lot of hassle whenever you need to re-enter the key - which in my case is 28 letters digits long!!) WM5 box as you may have discovered does not allow wep pasting!!
You need to have .netframework installed as well byt the link I give you also has a link for that as well:

i recently got att 8525 but i havent able to connect wifi with my home network. it asks for wep key, then shows connecting to network and after a while shows wrong network key...no success so far...i even tried the abive hitchhiker sf and all but no luck...has anyone come up with any solution??? i had np connecting 8125 b4...!!!
btw i use wm5 and the most recent att rom update posted on htc site...
hoping for some solution...
I have similar problem too with my cingular 8525. I unlock it to work with t-mobile and also upgrade to wm6 . Now, I can not connect to my home wlan. If I click on wlan, it show my wireless network. But if I click on internet explorer, it show me the default internet window explorer with at & t and window mobile icons. when I click on either one, it take me to media net log in screen. help me
ok, i dont know how but my wifi started working last night!!! b4 it always looked for IP address and eventually disconnects b4 connecting to home network. so i installed "hitchhiker" but no luck either...so i uninstalled and then tried but this time it said connected to network and as soon as i open IE, it disconnects...it looked like wifi connects but then disconnects or timeout due to power settings, so i changed power settings under wifi settings to best performance and now it just connects right away...

Just wanted to let everyone know that switching from "best battery" to "best performance" also solved the "incorrect network key" error for me. Thanks Chakli!

Thank You Thank you Thank You. I've been at this for a few days now. It would have to be that simple.
Just remember you need to run the remove proxy cab file if proxy is has been set to use GPRS/WAP. Also make sure the right network interface is selected - like work uses 802.11 etc..
last year my daughter's fiance wanted a wizard so i gave her one to give to him.
she broke up before she gave it to the guy.
now my daughter has a new almost fiance and this guy got the wizard.
he is complaining that sometimes the wizard connects to cingular data and not to wifi.
of course he doesn't want to pay the cingular data charges so how do i disable that and limit his connectibility to wifi.
do i just make sure the data connection is turned off in connection manager or is there a better way.
thanks

Look for a cab called Modaco NoData. It allows you to turn off data access to whichever methods you don't want. I can post the cab later today. Its also found built into my xda mobile 6 rom.
thanks for the response.
i tried to download it from modaco but got an error message even though i was logged in.
finally found it on a european site and grabbed it.
thanks again.
i tried to install the cab on my g4 8125 with wm6.
NoData does not run properly.
i get a NullReferenceException
with a couple of more lines that start with System.Windows.Forms.Form etc.
any ideas how to fix this program in wm6 or turn off the edge a different way.
thanks
an old solution to this use to be to go to settings --> connections --> connections --> advanced. then from there click on select rules and change it so that both settings are set as "My Work Network". setting it to my network only connected via wifi or when wired...since i think the my isp setting might have the wireless service information.
not a 100% guarantee, since i don't use the internet either, but i've always set it this way and haven't had any connections to the internet. even when i open up ie, it doesn't try to connect to anything.
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....
I have free unlimited data for a few months, but when it is over I would like my phone to never connect to the internet through the carrier unless I specifically tell it to (Prefer to use the WiFi feature). Is there a setting, registry hack or other way that I can do this. I appologize if this is not a mogul specific question, I just figured it would be hardware specific.
yeah, there are a few free programs i've found on on xda that allow you to disable the gprs, etc... then all you have to do flick on your wifi switch and you're good to go.
I've attached a copy of the program that i personally use. I found it on this site but i don't have a clue what thread it was....
what i've done is after installing the program i set the "voice dail" button on my phone to activate the NoData program instead. Then i can easily toggle off the services i wish to use.... keeping them turned off also increases your battery life tremendously
Thanks for the reply. I tried that app, the connection that came up was CDMA1X so I disbled it, and then went to internet explorer it still browsed the web without a wifi connection, so I assume this didn't work.
Do you have sprint? If so, I'm not sure why you're phone would have a different setup than mine. When using that program i have two listings come up: 1. Phone as Modem, 2. Sprint PCS.
If i disable both i get only wifi.
thanks

ok i just played around with my phone a little more and have one other idea.
begin by tapping: start>settings>connections tab>connections>manage existing connections
select one of the options in the list and then tap the "proxy settings" tab.
uncheck the box "This network connects to the internet".
Repeat for each connection.
Hopefully this will solve your problem
I tried that too, unfortunately when I close the connections settings and go back in the check mark is back.
Hi, I'm not sure if you have solved this problem already but, somehow I did. I went to manage existing connections and assign a username and password . So now whenever, it tries to connect on the dial up (cdma1x), it prompts for a password, just press "cancel". I also have some programs for different home screens and contacts manager if you're interested.
YAY! YAY! YAY! YAY! YAY! This program has allowed me to kill all apps from using the data connection which lets USB Modem actually WORK on my Mogul! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!
Hey everyone,
I have done some searching and have not found a reasonable solution to my issue. I thought I would pose it here to see if a program already exist, or if someone would be willing to pen one real quick.
Basically I have three connections I use
GPRS with proxy
Active sync at work with different proxy
Home and other WiFi spots with NO proxy
I can have any two of these work great, but always require me go and change my connection under settings for the third. Currently I have the first two working as expected. My GPRS works fine. When I connect at work via active sync it is set to use My Work connection and is configured with the second proxy.
What I need is a program that will simply disable the proxy when WiFi is enabled. Battery Status does almost does this, but it also removes the proxy with AS which I need. Anyone out there have a solution for this? I have been tempted to see if the author of Battery Status will separate these two options. I thought I would see if there were other solutions first. Thanks for the help!!
Humm... no one knows of anything that can do this? Sounds like this may be something worth developing.
