Turn off Edge, force GPRS - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

Hi!
Is it any software, hacks or possible to make a program where user can force the device to use GPRS instead of EDGE on Windows Mobile ?

i think Communication Manager Pro can do that...

No it can't - only GSM/GPRS/EDGE vs UMTS/3G (I think)

Any reason you would want to do this?

Hi Knocksock!
Did you find a way to handle this?

A person is using a phone and software (well, it could be just a web-page) which connects to internet. He says GPRS is faster than EDGE due to bad signals when EDGE is used. Thats what they say, so I thought I should help out on this

No, I haven't Any ideas ?

Not really, I´ve been looking for it quite a while but I´m sure there must be a registry entry that links to the EDGE interface. My problem is that the device iPaq 6915 stopps data transfer when connected to EDGE.

Quick yes or no question....

Hi
Is it possible to use the 3G caperbility on my Exec so my laptop can connect to the internet through it? If yes, how?!
Thanks
HPJ
quick awnser
yes

3G should be the same only difference is universal connecting differently
try the search before asking questions next time...
Yes.
As a rule of thumb, if it has 2 cameras it is 3G.
You can go to your carrier's website and search for the settings, Orange UK drop 3 lots of internet settings into the m5000 with the extended ROM:
Dial up WAP
WAP GPRS
Internet GPRS
The Universal will automatically pick one to use apparently but not having used this feature I don't know the situations where one would be preferable to another.

Not entirely true. Advance TC M.A.G.I.C. (http://www.advancetc.com/) has 2 cams, and no 3G

Edge Icon on TyTn

I was wondering, since the universal is the only other htc phone to do UMTS right now. Does the regular edge/gprs icon reg hack work? If not, has anyone figured a way for it to happen? Thanks.

urrm? the universal does it out of the box, no hack needed.... i get U for umts and G for gprs
But do you get an E for edge? On the wizard there is a registry hack to make the universal display a G for GPRS and an E for EDGE.

Hi Chris,
Check the Skype page beginning of October.
Cheers,
StonyA
I installed Skype on my TyTn last night, and used it over wifi to call my Dad (just because I was bored and wanted to try it), I made no tweaks or changes and it works fine. I just chose Other Pocket PC and did an OTA install with the CAB file. Works great.
which skype brand - model for hermes
I took a guess and chose Dopod 700 version.
So far seems to work fine.
voice over EDGE sucks, but we knew that.

[Q] 2G / 3G switch???

Hi,
I just got myself a Omnia 7 and since I live in area where 3G signal is very low, phone constantly searching for 3G and also keep switching from 3G to 2G.
Needless to say that kills battery life and also have influence on drop calls and call quality.
Anyway, I don't need 3G when I'm at home. I use wireless for internet and mail.
Funny thing, Omnia 7 doesn't have 3G switch like some other WP7 phones.
Is there any other solution to switch off 3G??
I tried MarketPlace and didn't found nothing!
Any registry tweak or something??
Maybe firmware with that option.
Hey,
If you go into settings->mobile network and scroll down you can turn off 3g with the slider
Geee... If only that exist on Omnia 7.
There is no such switch.
I tried Samsung tools
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=924497
That does show switch for 3G, but still does nothing.... 3G is still on.

Some ROMs have the switch enabled by default (i.e. the t-mobile ones) some others do not.
What you have mentioned is interesting. If the switch is not working for you then please mention your concerns in the "Samsungs Tools" post and the creator might be able to fix the issue.
This would also help other people in the future!
An alternative way to switch on 2g is to follow the method Niiceg suggested.

Read here (or the thread), follow the instructions from ms link (WP answers)
Thanks for the help.
I did something like this before but it didn't seem to "take" for very long...so far it is so crossing my fingers.
My next problem is the internet sharing...I can enable it and connect devices to it but it doesn't seem to actually share data as the connected devices cannot get any data from the focus....help!

Should be related to the above issue. Fix that first and check afterwards.
I've done that already but there was no change with internet sharing...im not sure how I enabled it in the first place...

The Interop unlock/provision xml enables IS, afaik. I sugest you read this thread and re-do the steps. You can also ask there.
