How to prevent phone from using certain connections?

Hi,
I have a Windows Mobile 6 Standard based phone (actually an HP one called IPAQ 514) and would like to configure its connections.
What I want is that my phone does never connect to the internet by my phone provider but only with WLAN and Bluetooh. This means I want to disable the internet by my provider completly. Is this possible?
The setting should be used for all applications on the phone and also for those I'll install in the future. Currently I removed GPRS connections, except for MMS and I removed "DFÜ" (German). Anything more to do?
How to set up Internet Explorer?
Thanks for your help in advance.
Greetings,
Andreas Balzer

I don't want to go online through my provider either so I simply deleted the media net profile on my phone. Not sure how your HP works, but something along those lines should work.

if you want better controll, you can leave all dial up/gprs connections in there for moment when you really need it, and just disable and enable the one you need. this is simple small utility, which do the trick - modaco no data - http://www.modaco.com/content/pocket-pc-software/246171/new-free-utility/

Help! Browsers not working...

Hi everyone,
For some reason when I load IE or Opera, it won't let me connect to websites. Opera tells me that the remote server refuses to perform the request. But for some reason, all my other stuff like Youtube app, weather updates, etc. can still work. I'm on AT&T with my iphone 3G sim card. I tried deleting the MediaNet settings on the xperia and tried using connection wizard to setup again, but no go.
Please help, otherwise I'm gonna have to do a hard reset..

try use the wifi first? then switch back to sim 3G

There are multiple issues using an AT&T SIM card that was set up to use with the iPhone.
Before you can move on to other issues and items, you need to let AT&T know that you no longer have an iPhone.
Then you need to face that decision whether or not to admit that the IMEI you give them is a pocket PC.

Is there a way to stop opera 9.5 beta from reverting to the default on screen keyboard whenever i want to type? Its really time consuming to change back to the one i always use

Update: Well I tried using wi-fi and turning it off to go to 3G, but that was a no-go. Funny thing is this happened before too when I left wi-fi on, but not connected to any network. As for the iphone plan, I know one issue is I won't be able to receive MMS, but as for data connection, its setup on the xperia to use MediaNet. It just doesn't make sense that all the programs on the xperia can connect to the internet via 3G (including email), except the 2 browsers. Am I missing something else here?

This sort of happens to me. But ny version is when ever i try to use the browsers (I select a favorite page for example) the browser will attempt to go to the page. But instead of opening the page the browser simply shuts itself down and the experia returns to the panel page. No errors given.
I found that I have to manually clear the browser cache (soft reset no worky for this) then the browsers go back to working properly.
There is a setting some where I am to dumb to find that controls this.

My TD2 is going online (EDGE or HSDPA) by itself!

I have the following problem: my HTC Touch Diamond 2 (from T-Mobile) is going online and stays online for hours until I notice and disconnect.
I can't be sure, but it's possible that Mobile Shell is the reason, because I don't have any other running applications. Is this maybe a built-in feature of TD2?
Is this a known issue? Any hints or tips? (ActiveSync and GMail are set to synchronize manually).

yes look in the Options of mobile shell
its the weather Programm that uses these autoConnects all the time
ive had the same "problem" as well...
if u have SPB Traveler too, then uve to look in every single programm option
SPB Traveler options
SPB MObile Shell options
SPB weather options
take out the automaticly updates...
fixed =D

I've checked Windows Update and Weather Update. Both are off.
I've found that I have a suspicious widgetmanager.exe running on my PDA. Is this coming from Opera? I'll kill it and see if it helps.

Maybe it's the (totally useless) PushInternet service of Opera.
Here's how you can stop it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=532948&highlight=stop+pushinternet
But the problem is that sometimes you want to browse some saved pages.
There are some saved pages that still require connection to update something.
And the phone goes on-line automatically WITHOUT asking the user. This annoys me a lot, since I have a fixed traffic amount and I don't want to spend it unawares.
I solved this issue by modifying a letter in my default connection.
This way, when the phone tries to go on-line automatically I get an error message saying it cannot connect. Now, depending on my needs, I either dismiss the message to stay off-line or fix that modified letter to go on-line.
To modify your default connection:
Settings tab, All settings, Connections tab, Connections, Manage existing connections, Click your default connection, Edit, Next, (here change the "Access point name" -- my last letters are .ro and I delete the "o"), Next and then Finish.
Maybe this solution is a bit rough but it works for me and I'm happy .

What's the problem? I have always a data connection open on my phone, 24 hours a day. You only pay for the amount of data, not for staying online.

I was referring to traffic.
The phone transfers data without asking my permission.

> You only pay for the amount of data, not for staying online.
The phone is connecting to the Internet automatically upon necessity. The fact that the connection is open means that some program or service had the necessity and transferred the data (at least one byte, but likely more). So the traffic is not zero in this case.
Another reason is that I pay 7EUR per every day that I connect to the Internet + the traffic price.
And reason #3 is that I want to know and control what my phone is doing and not otherwise.
I'm still observing the situation, this widgetmanager.exe is likely the source of the problem, but can't confirm it 100% yet.

Try SPB Wireless Monitor, then you can see whats connected, amount of traffic etc.
No need of buying, just use the trial for 15 days

Thanks for the tip. I have used it. That's how I know about widgetmanager.exe downloading something. I keep it killed and wait for the problem to reappear. After 24 hours I'll know if it's widgetmanager.exe or not.

I like your solution and I am going to give that a try. Thank you.

widgetmanager.exe was the reason. It comes with T-Online ROM. Thank you everybody for your help. Issue closed.

Tethering on ATT

Hoping I am in the correct forum and someone can help me out. I purchased a HTC Pure and on ATT. I had a Raphael before and was able to tether fine to my laptop. I can't on my pure and ATT says I now need a Tethering Plan, and that has been the way for 2 years now.
Does anyone know a work around for tethering? Extra software? Tips? Please let me know.

The only problem that I had so far was trying to use Internet Sharing to connect to my laptop. But after doing some research found the solution on the ATT forums. With a registry editor go to [HKLM\Comm\InternetSharing\Settings] and delete “ForceCellConnection”. Now when the cell ask what do U want to do with the connection, either Active Sync, Mass Data or Use as Modem there will be a drop down tab to chose how to connect, via Media Net, ATT GSR or ISP. Personally I use Media Net.

must do a soft reset (turn the phone off) after

The HTC pure doesnt have that registry key nor the \internetsharing\setting folder

UH, yeah it does.
Open your Reg Edit program and follow the above instructions. What are you using for Reg Editing?
Check your START screen for Internet Sharing icon. Follow the above instructions.
By the way, you do know that AT$T will smoke you like a cheap cigar if they catch you tethering without a tethering plan.
,

Tethering on a Pure as I write! It works fine, just change the reg key. Make sure you hit internet sharing, then connect on the phone after you plug it into the usb.

Just take out the proxy server.
I tether all the time, always have and never tweaked my registry.

Ok, try this first;
In connection Settings, go to advanced\select networks and set both to MediaNet.
Now go back and see if your proxy can be removed.
Make sure you check "This network connects to internet"
Mine is totally configurable.

Did that.
Still says the same.
Connections
--------------
MEdia Net
The connection is pre-configured. It cannot be modified.

I just did the reg edit and it worked great for me! Super quick and easy. When I connect my Pure to my computer with USB it just asks if I want to use as modem or sync with outlook (I use TF3D so these are the only options I got). Thanks for this, I've been wanting to do this for awhile but never got around to asking
p.s. I tethered on ATT with my Samsung Epix all the time, without the tethering plan, and never got caught/got in trouble for it. knock on wood. The way I see it, I pay a crap ton of $$ for internet on 'premium' device, who are they to tell me how to use it.

To be able to edit Media Net connections you need to do registry edit or install cab. REG EDIT is as follows:
To Unlock Media Net connection settings go to
[HKLM\Comm\ConnMgr\Destinations\MEdia Net\, change ReadOnly from 1 to 0.
This should do the trick.

1- Root will not affect play store app in any manner.
2- Not sure what did you mean by 'home WiFi and phone WiFi'???
3- Anyway, try the following:
a) Make sure the internet connection is good. You can use any web browser to check.
b) If the Wifi is not successful, try to use data connection (G/E/3G/H/H+...)
c) Make sure the Google account is valid (user name/password)
d) Try to reboot the device.
