Automatically switch between GPRS and Wifi?

Hi everybody,
Is it possible to let the wizard switch from wifi to GPRS, when wifi isn't avaible and back again ofcourse?
In some webpages the say that the universal has that function.
Is it possible that that piece of functionality is can be copied to the Wizard?
Thanx a bunch

Try the Vairio GPRS app thats in the MDA CDs, I also just posted here.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=32094
Its not ideal but it will allow you to controll when GPRS is on or not - other than that the MDA will work it for its self.

i'm struggling at the moment since my kjam decides to turn wifi off when it sleeps but still activesyncs via gprs even when i'm in the house and the wifi is still available.
i've tried that reg hack to stop wifi turning off on suspend but all that has done is stopping the wifi relogging on to the access point when i turn back on and stop gprs
can someone upload the vario app so can see if that helps.

oh lol i did check your link but there was no files there when i checked. weird. i see it now ta
:edit: oh its just gprs monitor. no it doesnt. its not that useful really

Since we're talking about wifi, for several hours yesterday I tried getting on my WiFi at work and home. No luck. Thinking it might help, I went to Starbuck's and couldn't get on either.
Can someone help me??!!! I did it with my PDA2K but can't remember how. This is really starting to piss me off!
My wifi at work and home had WPA-PSK and TKIP setup. I found, and I think this is the problem, that when I had these options selected on the K-Jam 802.1x was also enabled...and I couldn't uncheck it like I can on my laptop. (I confirmed the wifi worked via laptop). So, I went to an open system and I still couldn't connect. I could see the network, and I was asked for the passphrase, but I couldn't connect and get an IP address. I tried Starbucks and the same thing happened.
Any thoughts????
Thanks,
Tom

Stop connectio on roaming

Hi to everybody.
Do you know if it possible through a registry update, to not allow data connection if the xda is in roaming?!
Hope that someone has an answer or a glue!! I really need it guys, belive me!

Try Modoca no data (search for a cab file), it does not exactly disable data when roaming, but allows you to turn data connection off and on...

Thanks for the replay, but this not useful for me, I mean, I can turn data off and on simply changing the data connection on settings. Maybe this cab is faster than open everytime Start->Settings->Connections->Connections->Advanced->Select Network, but I always need data connection because of push email service, and turn of it only on roaming because of traffic cost under roaming. Any other ideas?

Disable data connection

Have installed Tom Tom software which works OK but evertime I use it it makes a data connection via Edge or gprs.
How can I stop it?
The same thing happens if I have a wifi connection to my network it also tries to connect via Orange.
How can I stop this as I do not want an unwelcome bill in a while?
If it means disabling something so that I can not connect to internet via gprs that would be fine but seem to be unable to find a setting.
Thanks

Hi
I no expert but sounds like AGPS kicking in. Do you have Location Settings option in "Settings\System"? If yes you can turn this off, if not then dunno, maybe someone else can guide.
You could also install the "HTC No Data" utility, search the threads here or Google it.
Cheers

Proper Job!!!
Seems to have stopped it dialling up with TOM TOM
Just need it to not dial up when using wifi now.

You may wanna try searching for and installing MoDaCo NoData... Works great for me...

Sussed it.
In network settings instead of havung it set to Orange Internet set it to Work Network and works OK.
Proper Job.

Yep, NoData is a great app.
Blocking the internet connection. And saving some battery..

How to make wifi the default option to connect instead of gprs?

How do I disable the phone from auto connecting to gprs? I tried testing it by launching opera without switching on wifi. The phone still connects through gprs although I turn data connection off. It will turn data connection on by itself. Even when I switch wifi on and want it to connect through wifi instead, it is still connecting through gprs. How do i solve this?

When wifi is "connected" (not only "on"), it uses wifi, no dataconnection.
If you really don't want a dataconnection, use something like NoData...

i tried NoData but it's not working. i'm using official htc wm6.5 rom.

Sorry I cannot be more precise because I don't use it anymore, but I remember there was an option to block data connection in HDTweak. Is that you want? Block dataconnection permanently? If so, you could alternatively delete your mobile operator connection in Settings/Connections. If anyone knows the registry changes involved in this,please post them so that I can make a .cab, I need it when roaming.

try MWLongLife! It's magic
this program is developed for saving battrey life by controlling 3G/2G network and data usage
you can set each program which need data access by 3G, WiFi, USB, etc.
Also, force to use Wifi rather than gprs if it's available.

Thanks for all of the suggestions. I tried installing nodata again and it worked this time.

for those interested there's also a cab to disable push internet completely (think that was the origin of your problem).
Search the forum on NoPushInternet

Any link to this? didn't find anything around

Yes please... I was about to post the same issue. I think the precedence in WM6.5 of using mobile wireless over WiFi is the wrong way around if the WiFi signal is strong. In my house, my WiFi is strong everywhere but 3G comes and goes. It's darn annoying to get the message about "No connectivity" when I know for sure there is a very good WiFi signal.
Cheers, Rob.
PS. Just had it whilst writing this email - "Messages cannot be downloaded to your mobile device..."

It's "WM" not "MW".

That's much better!! thanks fighter7139, gonna try right now!

data connection

how can i do that my data connection stay alive when i standby the device?
(for example holding icq or fim working in standby)
i found something that does exactly this with WiFi but not with data connections...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=636656 in this thread the seventh app

When you say data connection do you mean Wifi?
To keep wifi you can use any register editor (SKTools for example). Then search for this entry "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\BCMSDDHD1\Parms".
When you've found it look for a key named "HTCKeepWifiOnWhenUnattended=0" and modify the 0 and type 1. It must be like this: HTCKeepWifiOnWhenUnattended=1
I did this way and it worked. Anyways if you are not sure how to do it you can search for a .cab "WiFi Stay Awake" that do the step above.
You must be aware that use this trick to enable wifi while staying in "stand by" drains your battery faster and depending how much you use your htc mega won't last for a day. Hope this help

no i dont mean wifi i mean the internet connection
on german its called "Datenverbindung" in english this would be data connection that why i wrote that
but i mean the internet (GPRS/EDGE/HSDPA)
the connection closes when i lock my phone and turn display off (standby i guess)

Oh, I looked at the 7th app and saw "7th cab - Makes ur WiFi stay awake when the phone get's locked , usefull when using Skype(or similar) or dont want to connect/disconnect/reconnect every time u leave it for a minute and it goes in standby". That's why I thought that.
I'm not sure then because I don't use data connection but maybe there is an entry like the "HTCKeepWifiOnWhenUnattended". Try to look @ it.

ok i searched but didn't found anything...

nobody any idea?..
