Well, I managed to get the connection settings. But I keep getting "dialed "internet.com" and cannot connect for unknow reason". Any help on which settings I might need to enable or dissable would be appreciated. I have made sure that all relevant settings are enabled in HD Tweak and from what I can see all relevant settings are enabled on the HD.
THanks, dhatw.
Got it working they put me on Blackberry plan by mistake.

Is it possible to setup the 8525 so that it only connects to internet through Wi-Fi and not any of the other options? Based on some threads, it looked like Cingular has disabled this option, but I am not quite sure. Thanks.
The only way I was able to do it was to call Cingular Tech and have them disable the GPRS on their end, now if I go to PIE and the WiFi is off, the GPRS/EDGE Connection pop-up opens, then I get an error message saying the network could not be found and a dismiss icon....
The only way it will connect to IE is through WiFi now.

if you go to settings then connection and delete the connection settings for gprs it will not connect and you can use wifi only
however i seem to keep getting gprs not connected error if i do so?
I'm having the same problem. I'm totally green to the high tech world. Heck this is my first attempt at anything greater than using my calculator function in a phone So if someone could walk me through what I need to do to set my phone up so I can connet through wifi i would reaaaally appreciate it.
I had Cingular put me on the no data plan (not even pay per use). In case that makes a difference.
Thanks in advance for the help.
All I did was go in to the connection settings and change the User name and Password. I do not get any error messages stating the network cannot be found. I get a login screen with User/Pass and Domain. I just click cancel and it drops back to IE.
Now I do not have to worry about accidentally connecting to their service.
well,we can very much achieve it -- In the internet settings in connections,select both of them to My ISP,edit it to nowap.cingular.com
Make sure setting is set to Internet,not work!
I did it and I use only wifi all the time!!
The previous solutions are not really workable for me since I don't want to delete my cellular data connection, I just want to be able to turn it on and off as I choose. With Windows Live, I can have a Wifi connection and turn off cellular data in the comm manager screen and it will just open the cellular connection again.
A hack to turn off the "auto connect" for the cellular data would be great. Make it like the BT or WIFI, where I have to go to the comm screen and turn it on. That choice would be great.
Anyhow, I am thinking of making the Work connection as the default, then deleting all work connections. Then when I actually want a cellular data connection, I could manually select it and say connect. I'm not sure if the applications will close it and try the work connection again or not. I will try it and post again, probably tomorrow.

This works wonders:

ETA: This is what I have been using to deal with gprs autoconnect on my 8525 and it's perfect for my uses. You just start the program and toggle on or off the data connections.
Gprs Disable
It really works thanks for your research
Hey guys i recently put touch it 4.4 on my wing and its pretty cool so far, but since i installed it im no longer to acess my Tmobile data connection. which of course means no internet or IMs!
Can anyone help me out i searched around a bit but cant find exactly how to change the settings to get things working again.
so if anyone could-
1) tell me where and which settings i need to edit
and
2) what the the tmobile settings i put into there
thanks for anyone who can help me
also: data connection under my comm manager is greyed out
There is a network wizard cab floating around here. Install that on your phone and select your service provider. Other than that you can create a GPRS connection. Go to settings, connections, add new connection. Name it whatever, DATA works, and accesspoint name is wap.voicestream.com through Cellular GPRS.
Look around, there is alot on this..
awesome thanks for the reply
had it preinstalled with the touch it rom actually, so all is now good!
Hiya, I purchased my HD2 this morning, everything is great the phone is brilliant, there's one tiny problem, I did a soft reset on the phone after using the 802.11n enable thingy (using the regeditor), when I rebooted the phone the WiFi option (under settings on HTC sense) is disabled (like greyed out), I can't turn the wi-fi on, i tried setting the reg back to disable 802.11nm but the option is still disabled. The button was enabled before I made any edits though :s
Any help will be greatly appreciated, thanks

WIFI is disabled when connected to your PC (Activesync).
Haha alrighty, thanks for the quick reply =)
edit: just another 2 queries
How to I find the MAC Address of the HD2, and i'm trying to sync my contact out of office outlook 2007 using Windows Mobile Device Centre, but when i select contact is says Outlook is not setup, how do i fix this? :s
Glad to know. I thought this "feature" was a bug from installing too many tweak apps. I could still enable wifi via:
Start > Settings > All Settings > Connections > Wifi
and ticked the "Turn On Wifi" option. This part of the OS is basic windows mobile UI.
enable WIFI on hd2
i updated my hd2 from 2.13 to 3.14 and lost my wifi capability.
can this be recovered,,,, i already re flashed back to 2.13 and still a disabled (greyed out) wifi on/off button.
Any solutions to this problem?
thanx
I've got a Hd2 which is having a few problem connecting to the Internet. The phone was originally on Virgin network in the UK (which is essentially piggybacked on the T-Mobile network but uses different APN settings) and now I've unlocked it to run on T-Mobile UK. I've never been able to send mms's, but have been able to receive them in the past.
That was until my brother came along and in his infinite wisdom thought he could fix that and now all my Internet settings have gone. I've tried countless times to send them from the T-Mobile website and no joy, cannot download the settings.
SO now I turn to you fine gents and ladies to help me get my phone back on the Intternet please! I basically need to start it from scratch with manual settings I think but if anyone has any other suggestions please go ahead.
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.
Hi mate, what you need to do is:
In Manilla goto the settings tab > Menu > All Settings.
This brings up the standard WM Settings screen.
Then goto Connections > Connection Setup and select your country and operator then click OK.
If it doesnt work then make sure you are connected to a WI-Fi connection then try again.
Then when youve successfully done this, close Connection Setup and you will be returned to the Connections screen.
Now Click Connections icon and where it says: T-Mobile Internet or Web/walk etc, Click the blue link called: Edit my proxy server.
Now uncheck the checkbox that says: This network uses a proxy server to connect to the internet. (This has to be done otherwise Windows Live and Messenger wont connect.)
And you are done!
Thanks a lot, got it all sorted now
Hi, I posted in q and a forum bit desperate for a solution as I'm stuck on a train for 4 hrs with no,connection.
I have flashes the Gingerblur rom. 6.5 which gives me the free tethering apn. I selected it but don't know what else I need to do to make it work.
Do I need to select a specific usb connection? Does it need wifi enabled? If someone can please help point me in the right direction.... i know this isn't very complicated I am new to android and hard for me to find the answer from the phone
this is what I do, not sure if it'll work for you but you can give it a try.
Enable Mobile Hotspot
Then, goto .. Settings -> Wireless and Network Settings -> Mobile Networks -> Access Point Names -> ATT Free Tether (or whatever teh APN is named in Gingerblur, mines is from aRoot so its labeled ATT Free Tether)
Select ATT Free Tether, and you should be able to edit it. DONT EDIT ANYTHING. Just save it (options button, save) then exit it. ... mobile hotspot should activate shortly
Hey that seems like it works for me... the mobile hotspot icon turned from red to blue. But still no Internet on the lappy.
Does it need to be using wifi or will it work with the data connex?
Is there a specific usb setting i need
Thanks very much
does your laptop have wifi? You have to connect to your phone using wifi.
Also -- you should make a password for your hotspot. Go into mobile hotspot settings, and then wifi hotspot settings, and then configure your hotspot.
there you should see the name (Network SSID) if your hotspot. Set a password, and then using your laptop, scan for the wireless networks available, click on your hotspot, and plug in your password.
should be all set from there.
hey it worked! thanks so much, i was trying to connect using my usb connection...as this was how i did it on my old WM phone.
Not sure if i can make it work with the pwd, but for now i'm up and running with an open connection.
Thank you thank you!
