How to Stop Annoying Popup: "Multiple Networks Detected

Hello everybody,
I live and work in densely congested WiFi areas. So whenever I switch on my WiFi connection to use it, I keep getting bombarded with the message "multiple networks detected" which i then have to hide only to be hit with another five seconds later. It is seriously annoying and makes anything I have to do over WiFi very painful.
I have discovered PocketWinc which is a serious improvement on navigating WiFi networks. I would love to simply use PocketWinc as my network selection and disable any of the in-built capability. Does anyone know how to stop the built-in software from scanning and reporting new networks? Is there a registry setting to disable the automatic scan or at least to stop the dreaded popups???
Any help greatly appreciated. Thx. Ian

I am not 100% sure about this but check your registry under :
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\WLan\StringTable
Check the value of the item called "Recover WiFi".
If it is not set to 0, try setting it to zero.

Is this anygood?

I think that application just does what I specified above.
It can also completely diable WZC Wireless if you want to use another program to manage your wireless connection.

I just checked and I don't have a WLAN service shown under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services. In fact I checked through the whole registry and I couldn't find anything resembling something WiFi ' ish. That said I am new to the PPC registry.
P.S. I am on Windows Mobile 2003SE if that makes any difference.

Anyone know what registry setting I change in WM2003SE to disable the WZC since I don't seem to have the one mentioned above? Or can anyone confirm that WZCDisabler will work on WM2003SE?
Thanks again!
Ian.

I am also on Windows Mobile 2003 SE on a BlueAngel.
What device do you have ?
I am surpirsed you don't have this setting.
It is likely that the WZCDisabler will work but it disables ALL of WZC, not just the popups.

Its an HTC Magician using a SanDisk 256Mb+WiFi SD Card. Here are the registry entries under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Services:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\BTAGSVC]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\BTIcon]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\CallerID]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\HandsFree]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\HTTPD]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\HTTPD\Accept]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\HTTPD\Accept\TCP-443]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\HTTPD\Accept\TCP-443v6]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\HTTPD\Accept\TCP-80]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\HTTPD\Accept\TCP-80v6]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\MSMQD]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\OBEX]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\RPS]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\ScreenRotate]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\SMSReceiver]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\Trusted]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\USSD]
BTW, I don't mind disabling WZC alltogether as I believe PocketWINC gives me the equivelant.

It's possible that your don't have WLan setting because you are using this SD WiFi card.
Did the card come with any drivers or utilities to install for managing wireless connections ? It could be this rather than WZC that is creating the popups.

Need help on Device Lock Reg key location

I'm looking for the reg key for Device lock.
My device lock preference was enforced to the security rule by exchange server. Basically it enforce my device auto lock after 15 mins which is too short. So I'm looking if I can modify either disable the Device Lock function or I can change the time out length.
Thanks

Anyone familiar with this area?Any Suggestion would be helpThanks

Help me shut off GPRS/Cell Data please

I just got a $600 bill for cell data charges and I can't seem to stop it! Hopefully someone can help...
Here's what I did in my testing tonight:
1. I went to:
Start | Settings | Connections | Advanced | Select Networks
and set both pull-downs to "My Work Network". Shouldn't this force all data connections to WiFi only? Neither is set to use the cell network.
2. I went to comm manager and ensured MS Direct Push and Data Connection are disabled.
I then take my phone into the basement where there is no cell signal and I then go to activesync and click SYNC. A warning popup window appears saying "There is a problem connecting to the GPRS service in your registered home network."
So...activesync is STILL trying to use the GPRS network. What is going on? How can I stop use of GPRS???
Thanks

HI
well this is what you need I think, I use it and is great!! it call's nodata and is free

Personally I use HD Tweak to disable my GPRS settings so that I can control when my device can and cannot connect.
You can find HD Tweak at http://montecristoff.webs.com/
You'll find that there are some other useful features in HD Tweak besides enabling/disabling data connections too.

your problem is that Activesync is set, by default, to sync on a regulsr basis.
you need to set up a dummy exchange account and then you can get into the AS scheduler nd set it to 'manual'

...or, alternatively, go to ActiveSync -> Menu -> Scheduling -> Set both options to 'Manually'. It won't try to connect GPRS/EDGE any more until you explictly want to do it.

Or you can set in your gprs connection profile that you need a password, then it will show a connection box every time, so you can tell it, if you want to connect or not.

I actually have an exchange account this the HD must sync to, but using WiFi only.
I don't understand why it is trying GPRS!? Should it only use available connections?
Something still doesn't make sense. The MoDaCo app does the same thing as HTC's Comm Manager I think so that may not be the answer. I don't want to mask the problem, just figure out why it is syncing this way.

Solved! To help others trying to disable GPRS as well, here is the solution:
Go to HKLM\Comm\ConnMgr\Providers\{7C4B7A38-5FF7-4bc1-80F6-5DA7870BB1AA}\Connections
Export this “connections” key to undo your changes later.
Go inside every data connection and you’ll find a key “Enabled”.
This key has a value 0×1 (1), change this for every connection to 0×0 (0) for every connection you want to disable.

I could only get activesync to sync wireless with bluetooth? or by usb.can you fo it in your home network?

I'm syncing with an Exchange server - that works differently than syncing with a PC...

6.5 lockscreen?

I have 6.5 on my HD and was curious if I could use the lockscreen but without a password so I could keep the slider and notifications, I just dont want to enter a password each time thanks!

the only time you have enter the password, is if you setup the pin function on it, otherwise the slide fuction in wm6.5 works as normal

if i do not enter "setting">>"lock" and click the "prompt if phone unused for", the unlock slide to application screen will not appear.
but if choose not to enter the pin, i cannot select the "prompt if phone unused for"
is there a way to activate the unlock slide to application screen but no need to input password everytime??
million thanks.

Forced lock by MS exchange
Yes this is a huge problem. I have the pin lock force on by MS exchange security settings. In WM6.1 this only affecxted when the phone was turned on not everytime it is locked.

This cab (from another thread) removes the lock enforced by Exchange.
Works on my 6.1 and I believe on 6.5 too.
Run it, then go to you Lock settings and the tick box to remove lock is no longer greyed out ...
Alternatively here's the reg setting to edit:
Enable/Disable Exchange Security Policy
Registry Key: HKLM\Security\Policies\00001023
To enable it: Set value to 0
To disable it: Set value to 1

I used similar registry tweak in WM6.1 to get away with the exchange security policy but not working now for the new WM6.5. eg. I can change the inactivity minutes AEFrequencyValue to long enough but still the phone asks for unlock password frequently.

I have the Same Problem.
I'm force to have a Password from the exchange security Policy.
I have set the "Promt if phone unused for " to 30 Minutes, but each time the the phone goes to sleep, the Password is asked again.
Did someone have a solution without disabling Exchange Policy or installing S2U2??
Thanks

If you disable lock in setting > lock, i.e. untick 'Prompt if phone unused for' and just use slider functionality in wm6.5 you don't need to enter PIN any more.
Install attached cab (Smart Lock) and once installed go to settings > system > smart lock and ensure that both 'wm6.5 new lock' and 'suspend lock' are ticked, then soft reset. Now each time you turn screen off device will lock and to unlock it you use the slider

I installed the Stay Unlock cab and I still have to enter my password when my phone reboots. Until now, for day, it did not ask me for a password after 15 mins of inactivity, but today, it is again asking me for passwd every 15 mins if I don't use the phone. I am not even able to ever uncheck the setting for Lock which turns on requiring passwd - that setting is grayed out for me even after installing the cab. Could someone please throw some light on this? Thanks.

in 6.5 the key is a bit different (policies twice):

To disable it: Set value to 1

WM 6.5 Company Policy Activated Device Encryption
I recently set up Exchange e-mail on my WM 6.5 AT&T Tilt 2 (Touch Pro 2), which resulted in activating device encryption. Although I check the email box to remember my password, the device constantly asks me for a password.
I've since removed the Exchange e-mail account (I'll go back to synching rather than direct connect as this is too much of a hassle). However, I can't seem to turn off device encryption.
After reading this forum, I've tried the "Stay Unlocked.cab" and the registry settings (e.g., HKLM\Security\Policies\Policies\00001023 setting) to no avail. The "Prompt if Phone unused for remains grey/unselectable.
One thought: When I checked the 1023 key setting it was 0 so I set it to 1. That had no effect. But reading the post 0 = enable so I tried setting the value to 0 and got a message popup: "Exchange server has just enforced security policy required for Active Sync." So something of Exchange is still running or enabled...how can I turn this off?

WM 6.5 Company Policy Activated Device Encryption
Deleting the Exchange connection in Active Sync did the trick. That was so easy I do feel a bit foolish...

GPRS Automatic Disconnect!

Hello, I have HTC Snap WM 6.5. Do you have experience with GPRS 1 Minute autodisconnect.cab? Works without problem? Thanks!
Yes, works I have install this cab.

Where is the Automatic Disconnet Cab???

You can just do the following regedits to achieve the same:
Go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\ConnMgr\Planner\Settings\
Change the entry "SuspendResume" Value from "~GRPS!" to "GPRS_bye_if_device_off"
Make sure the value of "CacheTime" is set to 60
This only works when there is no data being used, so if you have something running in the background like an IMAP IDLE client for browser it will probably now allow the timer to reach zero and shut off.
(Disregard Quotes, they are for visual exclusion not part of the actual entry.)

thx man
its work on omnia pro
useful trick

Is this the registry to let the phone disconnect the GPRS if not in use?
