hi,
is there some app, that would allow me to control which program can use internet connection? I don't want to disable connection at all (as NoData), but to be able to say something like ... opera can use every connection, tomtom can use wi-fi and activesync, but not gprs....is there something like this available?

When I use total commander's ftp client to connect to an ftp server , total commander itself is not able to establish a gprs/umts connection. I must already be connected (for example open pocket ie before I start ftp) to get it to work. This strange behavior I have also seen in other applications (i.e. pocketirc cannot connect to an irc server if I don't start pocket IE before). Why is that so ? And what can I do about it ?
I had the same problem when I started using ThunderHawk. I had to open Pocket IE to get a connection, close it and then open ThunderHawwk.
Using the always-on GPRS in the wiki (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Universal_Registry) solved that issue for me.
Hopefully, that will work for ftp, as well. Let us know.

what does that always on registry hack REALLY do ? Does that mean my phone will have a constant GPRS connection ? Does that not mean I must not forget to disconnect manually when I close the phone? Will that not increase the traffic ?
It is kind of an all or nothing deal. If you have ANY programs that can access GPRS data, this hack will allow it. Also, be aware that if you manually disconnect, the connection will automatically re-establish 5-10 sec later while using this hack.
As an example, I use PocketWeather, which I have setup to update every hour. It will update using GPRS if it is not Activesync-ing, every single hour of every day. If you have to pay for data by the amount used, it may not be attractive. I have an unlimited use plan through T-mobile USA for $20/month, so I just don't have to worry.
Other than this hack, I believe you will have to connect the hard way.
Strangely enough, my old PDA phone (hp 6315) would connect just fine with ThunderHawk. It also had a choice under the taskbar 'Connectivity' pop-up bubble for 'GPRS (T-Mobile)' that I could use to easily connect or disconnect. My Jasjar only lists 'T-Zones GPRS (GPRS, 3G)' in the pop-up only when it is connected. So, I suspect that the issue is either with WM5 or T-Mobile added something to the ROM of the 6315 to make it more functional with their network.
Hey everyone,
I was wondering if it is possible that a normal cell phone, like a samsung d900i, can connect to the internet through my ppc, wich has a connection with WiFi..
TIA

Via wifi, no. Your phone only support MicroSD and I don't think WiFi SDIO goes that small.
Via Bluetooth maybe. Depends what OS your phone is running. Sometimes you can use bluetooth activesync in Windows Mobile to share the internet. Obviously your computer would need to have bluetooth as well.
What OS do you have on your phone?
You would need the ability to stop the phones web browser from accessing the internet itself firstly, because I would presume the instant you try to open a webpage the phone will use the cellular connection for internet access.
If you could stop this from happening, you may have some success after you pair to the PPC via bluetooth.
Then you would need to point the web browser at the PPC in either the browser settings or the network connectivity settings.

My OS is WM6.1 dutch
@ desolateone
Thx, I will try
In which case read this guide (part of which I wrote myself).
Using it correctly, internet over bluetooth is very very easy.

Hi all,
maybe someone has a solution that does not involve totally disabling GPRS...
Every other app (TwitToday, Active Sync, Pocket IE, Outlook, GPS update, etc pp) prefers the WiFi connection over existing GPRS/EDGE connection, except Windows Live Sync/Messenger: Both of them constantly ignore the WLAN and instead open a GPRS/EDGE connection...
How do I force it (or, if easier, the whole OS) to only use GPRS then when no Wifi is available?
Thanks,
Marco
I achieved this by making everything use Work Network.....it uses GPRS when no WiFi is available only.
On the subject (not wishing to hijack the thread though) I have a similar issue. All apps work fine through wireless, however Windows Live (Messenger etc) launches and connects to GPRS/HSDPA/EDGE when a wifi connection is not present, but then errors with a "no connection" message. All other apps work fine in GPRS/EDGE/HSDPA mode but this...ideas?
Doesn't work
When I say in the Connections control panel that all apps should use something other than E-Plus Web (either My ISP or My Work Network), then MSN whines about connectivity problem.
When I leave it at work network and disconnect wifi, I get system error with all internet using apps - it "can't connect with the current settings".
So, I have to leave the "connect to the internet using..." to Eplus Web... then, all apps, including Pocket IE use WLAN if available, but only MSN still connects GPRS :/
Any idea? Why does f***ing MSN not offer what connection to choose, if it can't obey the system settings?

Hi guys,
I posted once similar thread, but may be in wrong section.
My situation is following: Since some time, some apps are not able to connect to internet.
1. When I'm connected through WiFi, apps like QIP, IM+, they are just saying that there is no network available. Other programs like IE, Skype work perfectly.
2. When I'm not connected anywhere, IE and Skype on launch automatically start GPRS/3G connection and work fine. QIP and IM+ do not even attempt to start GPRS/3G connection and again cry for not available network!!!
So is it possible to debug this problem somehow? to find the place (may be registry?) where to change connection settings for IM+?
Hello,
when I open the Opera browser it starts to connect to the Internet via UMTS/Edge/GPRS bla bla bla....
i´m using icq mobile. The problem is, when i open icq mobile it doesn´t start a connection to the internet which means i always have to start opera first (for the internet connection) and then after my phone is connected to the internet i can start icq.
a friend of mine has the touch hd and his icq mobile connects automatically to the internet.
does anybody know how i can enable the auto connect to the internet when I open icq mobile?
(sry for my bad english,.. i´m a german =) )

Hello!
I've set up a GPRS connection on a mobile device running Windows Mobile 5.0. It connects on demand (e.g. when entering an URL in Internet Explorer).
However, connecting to a remote database (via SqlConnection) fails if the device isn't already connected, ie. it doesn't connect automatically. Is there a way to configure the device to connect automatically when attempting any TCP connection, or should I do it programatically in some way (Connection Manager API)?
thanks,

I've the same problem. I need a GPRS autoconnect solution to make my app works fine.
Is there a regkey or trick to do that: autoconnect to GPRS everytime?
thx
