Hi,
For some strange reason, I'm unable to connect to the Internet when I have my USB connected to my 8125 to a computer which has internet connection (the computer I'm using right now). It constantly tries to dial the GPRS.
It used to connect to the Internet and never dials to any GPRS. This started happening today. I haven't changed anything at all.
When I open PIE it will load the MSN page but still tries to dial. I try another URL (yahoo) and it will not connect. I believe its displaying the MSN homepage using the temporary files.
Please help!
Try a couple things...
On the PPC go to Start > Settings > Connections Tab > Network Cards > and make sure "The Internet" is chosen for "My network connects to:" and click "Ok"
Next, on your computer, open ActiveSync > File > Connection Settings > and make sure "The Internet" is chosen for "This computer is connected to:" and click "Ok"
(Even if those settings are correct already, still pull down the menus and choose them again, clicking ok afterwards, everyone knows windows likes to accidentally forget settings even when they are still correctly displayed) Reboot the computer and PPC, then try again
If all that fails, then on the PPC go to Start > Settings > Connections Tab > Connections > Advanced Tab > Select Networks > and click "Edit" for whichever connection you have chosen for "Programs that automatically connect to the internet should connect using:" > on the modem tab make sure "auto pick" is selected > on the "proxy settings" tab make sure "this network connects to the internet" is checked > make sure "this network uses a proxy server..." is UNCHECKED > click "Ok" > click "Ok" > click "Ok"
That should do it for ya
I have enabled the function in:
start > settings > sound and notifications > notifications > Connection Established .
I ticked Vibrate > OK > OK.
But still...it doesnt vibrate when a call connects..
anyone know why? or does anyone know how to trigger it in the registry?

I haven't used this functionality in WM before, but I believe that it is in regards to establishing a network connection (GPRS/3G/HSPA).
You can try confirming that by connecting to your carriers data service and feel for the 'vibe'

thats not for calls its for wifi etc.
Thanks very much.
What I want is something like the HTC Diamond - you got a little vibration when the call connects, any idea how to get it on the xperia?
it appears that this has something to do with diamond's phonepad? has anyone extracted it out?
On my Diamond, I had a handy little application called NoData which deactivated data connections so that I didn't get charged for using mobile internet by mistake.
Is there any way to do the same thing on the HD2?
Thx.
I am also looking for an app that can do this.
I'm off abroad in a couple of weeks and I am already having nightmares about the bill I may have when I return if I can't find a way to deactivate the data!

Just use the same app
Grtz,
Degake
there is a app out there called...................nodata
oh, are you sure it works on the HD2?
nodata works fine but i use bsb tweaks to disable data connections manually before crossing the border so i can enable it just in case
Since I have no data plan with my carrier i disable connections not referring to WIFI alltogether, I just go to Settings, connections, menu, connections, advanced, select network, and put "work network" (or something, I have it in italian) to both.

there is a vey simple way to deactivate the data connection: long press the on/off key and you will get a little menu: one of the menu items is deactivate data connection. Press it and it's done.

That terminates it, but it doesn't stop it coming back on when an app tries to use it.
Is there a reason that no-one has suggested airplane mode?
no cab needed, the answer is on the HTC site:
How do I disable my 3G/GPRS Data Connection?
Follow the steps below to ensure that your phone will never connect to a GPRS/3G Data Connection.
1. Go to Start > Settings > Menu > All Settings > Connections > Connections
2. Tap Add a new modem connection > then under Select a modem, select Celluar Line (GPRS) > Name the Connection "Offline" >Tap Next.
3. In the Access point name text box input "Offline" and tap Next.
4. On the next page tap Finish.
5. On the second Connections Menu, tap Manage existing connections and select "Offline" then click OK.
Re-enable the data connection if you want to connect to the internet via 3g/Edge.
1. From the home screen, slide to the Settings tab, Wireless Controls > Data Connection.
2. Select your Country and Operator
3. Tap OK.
4. On the subsequent screen, tap Yes.
The phone will automatically configure itself with the appropriate settings.
Note: When disabling the connection in this way, your phone may report errors when trying to connect to "Offline." The error is caused by the phone being unable to connect to a data source due to the settings, and is normal.

This is what i want to know. How can we auto disconnect data connection after certain period of time. For example if i set up my device to update weather every hour using EDGE, it wont disconnect automatically but i want it to auto disconnect once the weather is updated regardless of i notice it or not. How do we achieve that?
Hello, I have installed the modaco no data app and it works a treat.

This is a hacked app by Verizon to badger you to connect to wifi. This happens when you start an app that uses an internet connection and your wifi is off. Theres no option to shut it off, just a "remind me later" option.
I'm not sure if this would cause you to connect to an unsecured network because I've never tried it, but it does prompt when I'm not not actually near known connections. If so, that's very risky with an "always connect" option. Nonetheless, it's another dirty move by Verizon.
There is a trick to turn it off without root. get the app Anycut from this post (not on market) > run Anycut > click "new shortcut" > click "activity" > find and click "HiddenMenuWifiOffload" > click ok. You now have a shortcut to the HIDDEN menu to turn this off. Nice one Verizon...
