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

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.
EDIT: USA ONLY
Its a easy and quick setup so follow so follow each step exactly
NOTE: ONLY WORKS FOR THE SIDEKICK UNLIMITED PLAN & BE SURE TO WRITE DOWN THE ORIGINAL SETTINGS JUST INCASE YOU MESS UP
This will work on all T-Mobile Users HTC DATA Phones! These settings also work with the iPhone or other data phones but the step by step instructions below are for Windows Mobile Phones
(I did this on a T-Mobile Shadow 2007 with the Erofich 6.1 Shadow Rom & a Unlocked HTC Excalibur)
1. Open the Start Menu> Settings> Connection
2. Scroll to or tap on GPRS > T-Mobile Data (or T-Mo Data)
3. Change the "Connect To" settings to "The Internet"
4. Replace whatever is in "Access Point" to hiptop.t-mobile.com
5. For the User name & Password spots you can do one of two things
> For the User Name & password input "guest"
> If you know your username and password use them
NOTE: This also works for the GPRS MMS settings but the user name and password must have your actual settings or must remain blank or you will receive a download delay within your sent & received MMS.
6. MAKE SURE YOU SELECT DONE!
7. Go to Internet Explorer > Menu > Tools > Options > Connection
8. Change "Connect to" to "The Internet"
9. RESTART YOUR PHONE OR SOME WEBSITES WILL GIVE ERRORS
10. YOU NOW HAVE Internet without changing your plan

Sorry i am really a newbie,but how do i update the weather by using Wifi??because it is always automatically connected to GPRS for the update and there is data charge.....help is appreciated...
My Jade uses, if available, WiFi. Did you set up your WiFi with encryption key etc properly on your Jade? Should use this, if activated...

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.
Okay, so I've shagged my internet settings completely. I now can't connect to the internet at all, despite having a good strength 3G connection.
Could someone help me restore my internet settings? I know it's a bit of a vague question, but I don't know where the problem lies.
I've already tried the "automatically configure connection", and it unfortunately didn't help (after disconnect/reconnect and also after a reset).
Please help me - I feel naked without the internet in my pocket! lol
Cheers,
John.
Original post:
Could someone do me a favour?
I need someone with a Touch HD, from Orange (in the UK), to go to the following screen...
Start -> Settings -> Connections -> Connections -> Advanced -> Select Networks
...and tell me what "programs that automatically connect to the internet should connect using".
I'd really appreciate it, as I believe mine was set to something that now doesn't work, but one of the others does!!!
Thanks in advance,
John.
Mine is set to Orange Internet
Post deleted, because I've made things worse
To get the same settings as mine, try the following:
Tap Start
Tap Settings
Tap the Connections tab
Tap Connections
Tap the Advanced tab
Tap Select Networks
In the first drop down-box select Orange Internet
Tap Edit (if Orange Internet isn't listed tap new)
Select Orange Internet
Tap Edit
Data settings
Enter Orange Internet for the name
Select Cellular Line (GPRS, 3G) from the modem list
Tap Next
Enter orangeinternet in the access point name
Tap Next
Leave the 'Username', 'Password' and 'Domain' blank
Tap Finish
Tap the Proxy Settings tab
Tick 'This network connects to the Internet'
Un-tick 'This network uses a proxy server to connect to the Internet'
Tap ok three times
Tap X
Hope that helps,
JB
Very much appreciated John Boy, but that's exactly what I had. There must have been something wrong elsewhere.
I use the past-tense, as I've just flashed my phone with the newest version of wm6.5 (I favour miri as my custom rom), and that's solved all my problems.
I pretty much expected that I'd need to hard reset to solve this problem, but it'll probably help others in future, having that list of settings and info.
Thanks again mate - much appreciated.
John.
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
