Hi,
Phone: HTC Touch Diamond (P3700)
OS: WM6.1 Professional
I'm new to the forum, sorry if this had been covered already, I tried to use the search, but couldn't find anything.
Basically, what I'm looking for is an app that allows me to access the Network Management quickly so that I can switch the connection settings from the provider's to My Work Network or another without going through [Start -> Settings -> Connections -> Advanced -> Select Networks] every single time. Or perhaps a way to create a shortcut instead?
I'm looking for this because I need to change it when I'm at home or on the road. At home, where WiFi is available, I always change it to My Work Network on both Internet and private network settings to ensure that I'm not connecting through my provider. And when I'm on road, I'd change it back to my provider's settings so that I can access their free websites.
Thanks.
Ok, after some more research, so far the closest thing I found is making a shortcut to Windows\remnet.exe.

OK, so the internet settings in WM5 are a real hell to deal with.
Is there some kind of a network profiler (like Mobile NetSwitch for desktop Windows)?
I want to be able to switch between settings. For example, I have a wireless network at home with automatic IP settings. I also have the USB commection that uses a proxy. In the uni I have two wireless networks with different settings. I want to switch between locations with different setting.
How the hell can this be done?
in the start-settings-connections tab you can choose the connections icon, then set up different connections "under add a new modem connection". then select the advanced tab and select the network manually for the connection you then want to use at that time. When you want to use another connection, you have to go to start-settings-connections-connections -advanced again and mannually select the network you want to connect to. Not very easy to do quickly, but the only way I have found to switch networks...
Ok. Now for everybody who keeps getting crazy charges for their phone for data charges when all they really use is MMS, this short guide is your friend. This assumes you have a CDMA phone (idk about GSM right now) and Arcsoft MMS. This was tested on an Alltel ROM and seems to work great. I am not responsible for any additional charges that you may receive but I did work as hard as possible to create a carrier foolproof solution. If you do not care about MMS, skip steps 7-10.
Here goes:
1. Install a DCD Carrier cab. It doesn't matter which one. This will allow you to change your Connection settings if you have a carrier like Verizon or Alltel that prevents you from doing so.
2. Soft reset in so the cab will take effect.
3. Go to Start -> Settings -> Connections -> Connections -> Advanced -> Select Networks
4. Change the first drop-down box to 'My Work Network' or another blank connection.
5. Press OK twice and soft reset.
6. Go back to Start -> Settings -> Connections -> Connections -> Advanced -> Select Networks and verify that your connection settings have indeed changed.
7. Go to Start -> Programs -> Messaging -> SMS/MMS -> Menu -> MMS Options -> Servers
8. Edit the MMSC server you would like to send and receive MMSs on.
9. Go down to 'Connect via:' and select your carrier's connection settings.
10. You're done!!! Enjoy your MMS enabled, no data, less money on your bill phone!!!!
Thanks alot but the best solution is using this program

Connect with ActivSync. That will do the trick.
You could use nodata to block gprs, just see your other thread about GoogleMaps.
And make sure your connections are set up properly....
start -> settings -> connections (tab) -> connections -> advanced (tab) -> select networks -> both options should be set to 'my work network'.
Go back to connections tab -> advanced network -> disable HSDPA
go to text service tab(or sms tab) -> text message through GSM
Now you've disabled all GPRS data traffic, set up your wifi connection and you should be good to go.
Mine doesn't seem to like wifi networks. It connects to them ok but then email and opera won't work.
If I connect via my service provider using 3G everything works fine.
I don't mind this as my contract includes 500mb of data per month and I don't use it online that much as I still find it easier using a PC if I'm at home or in the office.
I also find that if I have unique switched on to search for wifi networks it kills the battery life so I don't have it enabled.
I'm sure you will be able to get it to work, I just haven't botherd due to the reasons above.
Hi, got the HTC HD2 (Leo) since last week. I searched with Google, i search this forum, I read the wiki, faq and several posts, i read the 'don't start a thread!' post, still no luck.
At my work we us a non-broadcast wireless network (wifi) in other words, it's hidden. On my old P3300 with default windows mobile, I could easily add a network manually, but now with htc sense I can't find this option. Any idea if this is possible?
To make things clear: wifi IS working, when I go to the wifi settings I see some broadcasted networks but no option to add a network manually. The advanced menu don't give me that option neither.
Thanks, Paul
When you have the wifi settings open, click Advanced and then the "Change Network" button. Then just click "Add New". I guess you'll recognise the rest after that.
Good luck
Thanks,
I finally found it under Settings -> Menu -> More settings.
*Pfew*
I got it flashed by someone local who got talk and text working.. Anyone know how I can get the internet or MMS to work? Any help would be great...
Thanks,
Tom
