Hello everyone,
if internet explorer is started and a website is required, the connection manager dials my isp by phone. that´s ok.
but what I would like to know is when does the connection manager close the connection? Or does it stay online until ISP closes connection?
the connection is more then 1 thing
there is the genral connection
and a socket connection the socket connection will live as long as ie
the general connection will live as long as the phone have network connection to the isp
and the user dont disable gprs/edge/3g themselfs
which is why the charge pr MB rather then by minuts
so if the user doesn´t close the connection, the connection will live as maximal possible ... uuuuuhhh
is there a way to close the connection by a program without user pushing a button?

Press the "Call End" button and you should hear a beep, that closes the GPRS connection. You may have to press and hold the button.
Unless you set the registry key for continuous connection to GPRS.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\ConnMgr\Providers\{7C4B7A3 8-5FF7-4bc1-80F6-5DA7870BB1AA}\Connections\(GPRS connection name)\AlwaysOn
change the "0" to "1" and reset.

When I make a GPRS connection it never disconnects, if I browse a web page and then close IE and all other running apps the GPRS connection stays alive. I have to either hold the red button to disconnect to soft reset, Is there any way to get to to auto disconnect after a set time or is it supposed to do this and mine is just faulty.
It also happens with MMS, I send an MMS and it sends fine, but the GPRS connection stays on. You do not see the connection listed with'in the connections list, but you do have the arrows at the top to tell you your on a GRPS connection. If I make another GPRS call to the ISP then it hangs up the MMS connection and makes the connection to the ISP etc...
There is no option with'in the connection bubble to disconnect yet I have this option on my XDA1 which was updated to PPC2003. I can manually disconnect sessions using a disconnect option. But not on my new O2 XDAII running the latest ROM from O2.
To disconet manuley just tap and hold the o2 ikon then untick your conection. as to the timeout it is in there somewhere but i carnt rember off hand
Have you tried GB-Soft Tweak? It has settings to disconnect GPRS after a specified amount of inactive time.
My problem is somewhat different: When I use GPRS settings WITHOUT a proxy assigned, there is the bubble of GPRS connecting (with cancel) and when connected (in conjunction with GB Soft Tweak), there is a disconnect button.
But when I assign a proxy setting to the GPRS, these buttons disappears. In fact EVEN if it is connected to GPRS, when I tap on the radio icon, it stays in the state displaying as not connected (meaning there's STILL an option to connect to GPRS even if i'm already connected)
the only way to disconnect is the press and hold red button OR to use the disconnect button of my GPRS monitor (SPB)
I dunno if this is connected to GB Soft Tweak, or a bug in the OS on handling the radio.
Hello all
You all know that once we set our GPRS connection in our PPC's then it appears when we press the G button on the top of our Pocket PC's. If we want to turn it on manually we press the underlined link with its name and it connects OK? ok.
I have made the same settings in my qtek 9000, I have a valid GPRS Connection in my Internet Connection Settings that works. Even Pocket IE uses it to connect to the Internet.
But when I am in my Today Screen and just want to set it on, I press the G button and my connection is not there. So I cannot manually turn it on, unless I go to Connection - Settings and Choose Connect etc...
All I want is a way to make my GPRS Conenction appear when I press the G button Is there a registry way around it? Thank you all...
P.S. I know about the permanent GPRS on hack, but it wont do me any good. I have a limit of 40MB a month so I want to choose when to use it.
Can anyone tell me how i can force a GPRS/3G connection. At present i am using Thunderhawk II to browse the internet from my M5000 but this application does not automatically open an internet connection using GPRS/3G when i am not using WiFi. I have to open PIE first before the device will connect to the internet and then open Thunderhawk. This is a pain. Any advice? Can anyone create a little Today app to do this?
......and unlike PPC 2003, WM5 does not allow you to open a data connection by tapping on the 'G' or 'U' symbols at the top of the screen. Why not??????
go into connections and locate the connection settings you are looking for, press and hold, tap connect.
Thanks for the reply but going through the following routine everytime i need to browse is hardly convenient:
Start
Settings
Connections
Connections
Orange World: Manage existing connections
Orange GPRS Internet
Connect
Is there no way of achieving this from the Today screen?
nope
connections, or use PIE as you have indicated.
Try PhoneAlarm to force GPRS connection
I seem to recall that PhoneAlarm has a route to forcing GPRS to connect. Certainly works with my Universal. It's not always shown on the available skins, but if I use HGS6VGA CAR skin file GPRS connection is forced by clicking on one of the displayed icons. Not sure of the code this icon click invokes, but it does launch GPRS on my device.
SInce GPRS cost 15sek per mb here it is quite costly to accidently turn on the function. Is there any way to for software to ask for permission instead of activate the gprs automatically? Or that the gprs connection must be activace manualy before a connection can be established by the software?

This part can be easily solved: Go to the Advanced tab in Connections, and in the first list select 'my work network'.
So I have to change it to back GPRS each time I want to use it?
i do so, prankie, even if it is a bit annoying...
GPRS
Hi You need this program MoDaCo_NoData.CAB it`s turn on or turn off the connection GPRS.
I found this on Modaco.com
http://www.modaco.com/content/Pocket-PC-Software/246171/New-FREE-Utility/
I agree, MoDaCo_NoData.CAB is the best tool at the moment to switch the data connection on/off,
I'm using activeSync, and everything work perfekt...
as long as I've WLAN on, it uses it... but when I loose the WLAN connection (eg, I go away from home), activeSync uses my GPRS connection to sync my mail.
here lays the problem... after it have synced... it doesn't close down the GPRS connection... its allways stays "connected"... how come? or am I missing some options?
is there any way to shut down the connection manully? I would prefer to the connection do close automaticly after it has synced...:
Strange
There is no reason GPRS should stay connected after it finishes, it might take a little while to disconnect but it should disconnect all the same.
There are some registry tweaks to make sure but you will have to get a program like Advanced Configurtion to help.
Hopefully someone that uses cell data connections can be more help.

Well dear .. it's an easy thing to be fixed ..
Go to ActiveSync .. tap Menu . . Schedule ..
and then change it to " Manualy "
and that's it
