thanks sajtna, but I prefer free software, and I think that use the "GPRS SuspendMode" application is the best option.

I know that there have been requests for this so here we are.
The attached ZIP file contains the CAB to automatically configure GPRS and MMS connections for the Virgin UK network. It has been successfully tested on an XDA II and SPV M1000, both of which are running 2003 SE. I don't have a pre-2003 or Mobile 5 device to try it on so I don't know if it works on them.
The 2 connections which are set up are called:
Virgin GPRS - this has been configured to also allow MSN Messenger to be used.
Virgin MMS
Before using it, I would advise the removal of any existing GPRS and MMS connection settings (though the choice is obviously yours). I would also advise to check that your happy with all of the MMS options/settings following the install (e.g. Save Sent messages is switched off with this CAB).
At last - God knows what i was doing wrong but with this cab and some manual setup of the Connection side of thing i have managed to send an MMS.
This CAB setup the MMS side perfectly (nothing on GPRS) - as i was typing from what i can gather ok for IP i was using the full xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx and server name i had put goto.virginmobile.uk whereas this cab just say picture message (not sure if this would cause and issue), but i am doing the connection via: My Work Network as thats where i setup the GPRS, rather than internet.
My Mobile is a Voda Compact III 1605, running HTC Rom 1.35 with windows mobile 5 - and have sent my 1st MMS after trying over a few days!
thanks
How do I install this cab file?
Copy the CAB file to your device and execute it...

I tryed it, No luck.
It installs on my O2 XDA mini s, but still no connection
Maybe you know some other way to do it.
Many Thanks
Remove old network connections before installing the CAB
The CAB file does really rely on the fact that there are no existing network specific connection details installed on the XDA. The best way to ensure that old network connections are not affecting the Virgin settings is to delete them, i.e. ensure that only the standard "My ISP" and "My Work Network" entries are still present.
1) Go to Start->Settings and on the "Connections" tab, tap on the Connections icon.
2) Tap on the "Advanced" tab.
3) Tap on the "Select Networks" button.
4) Use the drop-down arrow to select an entry (do not select "My ISP" or "My Work Network").
5) Tap on the "Edit..." button.
6) Tap on the "General" tab.
7) Tap on the "Delete Settings" icon.
8) Repeat steps 4 to 7 until all of the entries (do not select "My ISP" or "My Work Network") have been removed.
Having removed all of the network specific connection entries, try reinstalling the Virgin UK cab file again and everything should work.
You diamond. Just sent Virgin a bollocking. They suggested I contact O2 about setting this up. Your cab file much appreciated by a middle aged member.
Thanks
Will try!
Much appreciated!

Just tried this after a week of trying various settings, now got access to gprs, thanks.
I have followed your instructions but after running the CAB file the VArio II still doesn't connect. If I click on the edit settings link it doesn't think there are any settings, as I only have the option to install a new ISP. However if I try to manually install a new ISP using the name Virgin GPRS it won't let me as it says a connection already exists with that name, but nowhere can I find any trace of that connection. What is going on please?

I'm in exactly the same position with my O2 XDA mini S.
I could possibly try using a different ISP name but I'd rather find out why this is happening and delete the connections made by the CAB file. As I can't find the connections though I can't delete them.
Ok, Time for an update.
Using Virgin GPRS2 didn't work and I've found out how to remove the setting created by the CAB file. I went to add and remove programs and removed the changes that way.
I have followed the instructions from this thread to no avail. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=238042&highlight=virgin+gprs
I'll keep plodding along but if someone can offer any suggestions i'd lve to hear them.
Ps. Don't be rude.
Hi Bouncypete
I also discovered that I could get rid of the bad settings using remove programs, but am also no further forward in finding the correct settings. I have sent a private email to sbgorner (he doesn't appear to subscribe to any forums) but have not had a reply. Anybody else out there got any ideas?
Virgin GPRS settings
Hi Bouncypete -success!!!
I have found an older posting from sbgorner which gives a blow by blow manual way of doing the settings and it works!!.
I will try and attach this as a pdf, but if the attachment doesn't come through then email me and I will send it to you direct
ran VirginUK.CAB - no settings added
I deleted all the old gprs etc connection settings and ran CAB file, but get no settings visable in network connections just "my isp" and my work network". When I try and enter settings manually I get to the "modem" new page and enter Virgin GPRS or MMS select Cellular GPRS/3G and next and it tell me I'm adding a duplicate setting although there are no settings visible. This happens after removing the CAB settings that make no difference in remove programs? Any Ideas apart from clearing the phone down?
Thanks for the pdf link - sorted me & my orbit out
Virgin UK network settings
I have been trying for ages to get my HTC Blueangel to link into the internet.
This CAB file did the job for me. Surprise, surprise (for me at least) IT WORKS.
Mobile internet here I come!
I have searched all over multiple forums and havn't come up with a definitive answer to my question. I have a Cingular 8125 and no data plan. I want to disable GPRS so that in case my wifi isnt connected I dont connect through GPRS. There were rumors of a registry key that could disable it, but I couldn't find any more info.
Where can I find the registry key to disable GPRS entirely?
What I would recommend is for you to install Registrywizard it has the option to disable GPRS, or look a bit harder since I'm pretty sure the info is around here somewhere, you might even check in registrywizard's thread, it's a long one though, so be warned the thread is this one

Super, Thanks!
The keys for disabling GPRS is actually in HKLM\Comm\ConnMgr\Providers\{7C4B7A38-5FF7-4bc1-80F6-5DA7870BB1AA}\Connections\ Cingular GPRS\
and the same except the last part is Cingular CSD.
Thanks again for the tip.
Cingular
I know this isn't the answer you were looking for...but I just called Cingular support (611) and told them to disable GPRS (might be best to call it mobile internet...they aren't the smartest). They will disable it immediately and you don't have to remember which keys you changed if you want to enable it later.
I've got GPRS and WiFi working perfectly.
However, everytime I switch between WiFi and GPRS, I got to reentern/remove the proxy server.
My GPRS REQUIRES the use of the proxy, so there's no going around that, and there are no unlimited data plans on the non-proxy access point [face_cry]
I've looked through both HowardForums (where I am from, I've been a Symbian user until now) and here for already existing info.
Aside from finding tons of people who couldnt get the wifi to work because of the proxy, none of those threads gave a solution that included KEEPING the proxy server for GPRS.
If there is a thread with the information to get WiFi to NOT use the GPRS proxy, just link me to the thread and Ill figure out the rest on my own
Thnx! Hope I'll get my post count increased fast so I'm not considered as a post-and-leave user.
of course u can keep the the proxy server for GPRS and surf the internet via wifi ~~
but pity that my device's interface is in chs & my broken english
(if i misunderstand ur thread,dont brick me )
u can fix it ,follow below
start menu--setting---connection--connetion,or u can see my device' captures pic1
(i dont really sure if ur device is that path,i just translated it from chinese to english)
select the icon in green (pic1)
a new window like pic2,just do it
and the key step in pic3:
the two places in red circle
dont select ur wap setting ,select my isp or my network is ok
when u want to connect internet via gprs,u rechange to ur gprs setting
enjoys
oh I understand what you mean. Yes that way I dont have to retype my proxy addresses.
Sadly, it's still not automated from what I see
I'll have to make a shortcut for that section.
Thanks woohyuksheng!
Cingular proxy cabs
Cingular has a set of cab files that enable/disable the proxy settings. if you search this forun you will find then. they are also in the latest cingular rom, black 3.0, and custel 1.3.
if you are not on cingular you could try and edit the cab files with your carrier info.
give it a try.

It didnt work for me. I'll explain below, but first I want to say I found my own fix. (however, it sucks to switch my fix back and forth)
Woohyuksheng's trick didn't do anything either.

All I needed was to add DNS addresses for my Wifi adapter and to EnableAutoDetect=1

Hi everyone
I have searched through numerous forum post and development websites to find these answers (has taken a couple of weeks, with no help from $&% Telstra), so I thought I would put them all in one post. I don't take credit for any of the work arounds, I just figure there is a lot of individual posts without the answers in one spot.
Tip 1:
Don't use the default GMAIL settings as this doesn't allow you to actually specify to connect to 'The Internet' and is default set to Telstra Internet (was for me anyway). There is a good step by step guide on the GMAIL website - create a new acounnt but the key is to not enter gmail.com as your email address as it automatically detects the settings and masks/blocks the advanced screen. By following this, I could then have GMAIL on my WiFi with no data plan enabled (long story)
Tip 2:
Do this to configure a new Telstra Data connection as the default one can't be modified:
(link to be approved so msg me and I will send in mean time)
However make sure the 'This network uses a proxy...' part isn't checked, opposite to the guide on the above link.
Doing this actually meant my GMAIL could now connect using the DATA plan but by default used the WiFi when it was connected.
Tip 3
The ActiveSync and Exchange part is by default configured to Telstra's dedicated email plan. On my phone there was actually a PDF on the storage card about this and also a step by step guide on how to configure your ActiveSync/Exchange to connect through the normal internet, not through Telstra's plan. However, as I have seen many similar examples on the internet, following this procedure was great except the settings would not save. Changing from 'Dedicated' to 'Internet' never actually accepted.
I was determined to figure this out, so installed a registry editor. With some snooping I found enough information to be dangerous and did some searching, and found this link:
(link to be approved so msg me and I will send in mean time)
If you go to the bottom about Network Registry Settings, the key one is:
HKLM\System\ActiveSync\SyncAPN
By changing this to 0, my 'Internet' setting would save for the ActiveSync/Exchange and sure enough, connection to my exchange server was succesful.
CeRegEditor is the program I found really simple to use.
Tip 4
Install these two free applications for Data Connection management
Good for Enabling/Disabling Data Connections - DataController.CAB
I don't fully understand the full power of this one, but it is good to see what is happening and has an auto disconnect: BandSwitch.V2.8.CAB that is mentioned in the registry tips/tweaks section, tip 50 or somewhere there abouts.
Tip 5
Cookies Home Tab - sensational!!
Tip 6
Unlock the quicklinks (plenty of posts on how to do this) and also remove the non-used Telstra Home-Tabs (well I don't use them as they always have a wap redirect to m.bigpond.com)
Tip 7
If you are facebook user, check out the 'touch' version. Go to m.facebook.com and down the bottom there is a link to facebook touch
So that is about it for now, following all the above, after a hard reset worked a treat without having to install a non-telstra ROM.
Hope this helps, like I said, I don't really know all the details of the work arounds, more just posting them all in one spot for future frustrated people with the Telstra version. I am loving the phone now (also have followed other registry tips from this site).
Happy using and massive thanks to all of you who actually did figure out the solutions!
Jason
Thanks for this.
The Dedicated/Internet drop down box does work without the reg hack but it resets itself back to dedicated.
I found also that I had to make a new connection to telstra.iph for activesync to stay connected when the screen was off.
Woudl greatly appreciate if you could send me the missing details above. I have not managed to get WMDC to recognise the phone yet so can't, and not keen to yet anyway, replace the Telstra ROM.
i get "Access Denied" when i try the registry hack, anyone else come across this?
I did get that, within the Registry Editing software there is an option to unlock the registry, once you do that you can then change the settings!

Problem with Telstra Connection

Hello, I have the Telstra T9193 here in Argentina and I want to use with other internet carrier, I configured the connection and Internet is working fine but I can't check the emails....
So I think that the problem is the default Telstra connection, maybe only the ROM permit use this connection to check emails.
Could you know something about it?
Thanks
Hi Diegogleo
Which email are you trying to check? Webmail like GMAIL or Hotmail or a separate pop3 account?
If it is hotmail, the default windows live setup seems to work fine.
You have to change the settings of your email account to use 'Internet' not 'Telstra Internet' (or whatever pre-programmed data connection might exist). That way, when you are in WiFi or using your Mobile Providers Data, you can pick email up.
If it is exchange mail, you will have to do the registry edit above.

Hi Jason...thx for the GMail solution. Still haven't gotten it to work and it is most frustrating. I have another question...what is the correct procedure for installing these .cab files? Again...something else i've tried and doesn't work. Any help would be appreciated!
