Hi
I'm looking for a mean to block GPRS on application basis. (Best would be a whitelist of apps who can use it.)
I've been searching the forum and all I found was several ways to disable it completely, or to just monitor everything, which is not what i need, as i have an open ActiveSync connection for Push E-mail.
Any help highly appreciated! Thanks

no one? Don't others need such a thing too?
I looked for such program year before, but didn't find anyone.
*bump* anyone?

I am using SPB's GPRS traffic counter and have noticed that without my doing anything, my Jam will download around 100k of data every day (around £0.25 on Vodafone). I can just about survive the financial shock ;-) but I am more worried to know how control connections in general.
Does anyone know what programs on the Jam keep a GPRS connection alive? (I am not using MS Messenger, nor do I have either MS Explorer, the e-mail application or Activesync runnig in the background).
cheers.
I see that you have checked the usual suspects how about MMS this uses GPRS as well maybe you received some? The application you mention (SPB GPRS Monitor) does not tell you which application uses GPRS?
unfortunately is not the mms client - I stopped its installation after a hard reset.
I even go as far as killing off the messaging app and internet explorer with the memory control panel to make sure they don't accidentally run in the background.
my guess is a leaky tcp/ip stack, but i'm still looking for ways of controlling outgoing packets...

Alternetives for SPB GPRS Monitor !?
Does anyone have any alternetives for SPB GPRS Monitor. This program makes the OS on my i-mate JAM very unstabele. So I had to remove this program.
I hope someone can help me pointing to a good alternetive app ! I also couldn't find an application like a SMS counter. Any idea's ?
Thanks for your help and kind regards,

I NEVER leave GPRS connected. I always 're-connect and cancel' to drop my connection after getting email headers ....
However....
one day, in one session at 12noon I racked up £17 with 02. They can not explain it and I was sitting at my desk at work with the XDA docked at the time!!! (with internet pass through if needed!)
This is worse than premium rate calls (which are closely monitored) ... all 02 can say is that at 12noon I downloaded over 7mb !! end of story! no more details. I don't know how it is possible unless it connected to their stupid movie portal and downloaded a massive trailer on it's own? - which I would of noticed!
Well I have a complaint in with them. Just think how many people could get stung (and I know what i'm doing!)
I'm now going to try the above mentioned GPRS counter, but has anyone tried this one ? .... http://www.all-locations.com/ GPRS Traffic Counter v3.2

Do you have a programme such as SPB Pocket Weather.. or any of those 'weather related' today pluggins?... as they connect via GPRS to download latest weather etc..
Hope you find the mischievous programme!

Hi all,
I am writing an app in which both the WiFi connection and GPRS connection are available for use at the same time. I am working on a WinMobile 6 HTC Wizard in USA on T-Mobile network.
When I have both connections open, I am able to access the WiFi but not the GPRS (faster connection I imagine). Does anybody have any ideas on how I could leverage using both connections, binding sockets on each?
Any help in this area is greatly appreciated. I don't know much about the CommManager in WinMobile, but if anybody knows any way for me to *possibly* be able to use both connections, I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks in advance,
Nick
As far asa I know, WM defaults to the strongest connection available, but some apps are very stubborn about using the WiFI unless it's the only thing available. I'm not a PPC developer, so I'm sorry I can't offer any more insight, but there should be no reason that you couldn' code your app to use both of the connections.
i dont think that is even possible in my opinion but that would drain the battery fast.
I'm definitely wrong by calling it the CommManager, thats just the user interface on WM to select which communications you want open. I meant ConnManager, which is the Connection Manager, which I've learned about here:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb416435.aspx
I do think its possible, but unclear how to access the Connection Manager API. If anyone has any background with programming using the Connection Manager API, I'd greatly appreciate some help in the form of example source code. Also, if anyone has ported a C++ library to C# before, I could use some assistance with that. The Connection Manager API is in the connmgr.h file which I've attached here, and I want to be able to use it in C#. I wish to use this on the mobile device and don't know exactly the best way to go about doing this.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Nick
using HTC Cruise, we had to flash the original WM6, and replace it with WM6.1 version that comes with VoiP dialer. the device started connection with the SIP server, and make and recieve calls with no problem. the next step was to install the avaya one-x mobile client due to the need for dual voip/GSM functionality, and there started the problem.
the device can not connect with the sip server, and only works on GSM mode.
we have followed some suggesgtions to edit the reg files and with no luck.
What we are suspecting is the HTC built in dialer, which seems to be still enabled.
now the question for those who suceeded getting this thing running; do we have to remove the built in dialer, and if yes then how?
We have searched all availbel sites and forums, and found this forum to be the best, and most active one. We certainly need your help and suggestions to solve this problem.
Thank you, in advance and have a good one.
I would be interested to know if you ever found a way around this issue?
Hi,
jUst wondering if anyone knows a prgram out there that can prevent certain program/s to use internet (grps, edge, hdspda. , wifi )
Cheers,
Just use this one here http://www.pocketpc.ch/attachments/...daco-nodata-internetverbindung-aus-nodata.zip and you'll be fine!
hi, thanks alot 2SWIFT
but that is not exactly what i need.
I require an app/tool which allows most programs to use data connection, except A FEW nominated ones.
so i can put certain programs to never download data. Sort of like a Block/Ban List.
Any ideas anyone?
Hi everyone,
I'm new to this forum, and was wondering if anyone can help me out. I have an Acer S200, and due to restrictions at work, we need to disable internet access from our mobile devices.
I have read various posts that state that this can be achieved by disabling wifi access by altering the registry keys, however none of the methods that i have come accross seem to apply to my Acer S200 mobile 6.5.
Sorry to be a pain, but does anyone know how i can do this?
Thanks in advance everyone.

What are you talking about? Disable wifi? Why do you start it at the first place?
Internet access on mobiles can be done by active synch, data connection, wifi. It 's up to you to disable them by comm manager and active synch.
Maybe I get you wrong. What exactly do you need to stop?
Hi fresco,
thanks for the reply. Well, the organisation wants to prevent the devices from having the ability to connect to the internet.
I understand that there may not be a complete solution, but at the very least I would definitely like to disable wifi completely, since this is what I've read others have done. The devices do not have data connection plans, hence this option isn't a problem.
Apparently I can disable the wifi by altering the registry keys? Any ideas anyone?
Thanks.
hiya...
any ideas guys?
can anyone direct me to anything that could be remotely useful to the above?
Thanks
Hi alan,
let me get this straight.You work at an organization that has unencrypted wifi access
but doesn`t want it`s employees using it?
If your company`s wi-fi network gives access to the internet to anyone that connects to it why doesn`t the IT manager set a password to the network or enable mac filtering (prevents unauthorized devices-mac addresses from connecting to the network)?
I don`t know how you would disable the wifi chip from the registry
but if i were you i would buy a second phone for work use only.
SKTools
Try SKTools maybe there is a solution in the app.
You can disable the WiFi in registry:
Go to "[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\State\Hardware]" and change the WiFi string to 0.
In the Comm. Manager the WiFI is disappeared and you are not able to connect.
thanks brainmaster.
the method that you suggested only removes the wifi display from comm manager, however that can easily be bypassed using the windows menu, to open wifi.
thanks...
then delete that one from the windows menu from Device > Windows > Start Menu
