My provider offers a push mail service. However to use that service a specific APN needs to be used and that data connection cannot be used for regulare internet traffic. So I would like to be connected to the push mail APN most off the time and switch to the regular APN when I wanna surf or something.
So far I haven't found a way to stop a data connection and to start a specific one. Anybody have any ideas where I could find such a thing?
Specific APN
I'm using vodafone as provider. They have an online tool to create a static that you can install on your mobile device. This dial-up connection is then selectable under active sync settings/ advanced/ connection. Instead of using the setting internet you can select dedicated. This will then automaticly use this setting for the exchange syncro and this will not affect your setting for internet. I've added the cab file. If you extract it you will see the xml and registry entries. Perhaps this can help you.

Anybody know some application that can configure proxy (use ou not) in each connection?
I use proxy for GSM data connection to work remotly (work network), but when connect by WiFi or GPRS I don't use proxy and have to enter configuration connections to disable...
Can I assign proxy settings to each connection?
Thanks
i had the same problem as well, do a search for proxy and you'll find it, also go to start>help and search proxy and it will tell you there.

But, do you know any software that can do it???
I know configure proxy any time but i want an app that can do it for me (in each connection)!
Thanks
Change which network each connection uses (ie work, internet - make more of your own) then each one can have different proxy settings.

Ok, this thread is a little old, but it is close to what I am looking at.
I just got my bill from O2 and I have been charged £1.50 for "GPRS data" although I think it is actually MMS messages being sent or received by GPRS. I am guessing this is because it is set up incorrectly by me.
I did have it set to collect MMS over the "mobile.o2.co.uk" settings (as opposed to the "wap.o2.co.uk" settings) and wifi could be enabled, but if I tried to use the browser without enabling wifi it automatically dialled the GPRS connection.
Could someone give me an idea on how to set it so that
A) MMS messages only count as MMS messages and are sent and received by GPRS.
B) WiFi is the preferred connection for everything else.
C) GPRS is available if WiFi is not available (and preferably after getting confirmation from the user), ie I dont have to find the settings and re-enter them.
I realise this is probably not possible, but any help and/or pointers are appreciated.
I have been running SPB GPRS Monitor to assess email programs. What I just noticed tonight is that it takes 30-40KB to connect to GPRS. I can't readily tell if T-Mobile is charging me for that data.
I had my GPRS connection set for Always on. A problem with always on, or for that matter autofetch on email, is that every time the device loses its Edge or GPRS connection, then regains it, there is around a 35K data use, at least according to SPB GPRS Monitor.
Does anyone know of a GPRS toggle program?
SPB
Of course, SPB GPRS monitor has a toggle. There is a feature I didn't know about because I had the popup turned off.
24 hours later, my phone used over 400KB connecting to GPRS. Turning GPRS on uses over 30KB, and if the phone connection is lost (which happens frequently in my home and office) it is usually over 10KB to reconnect.
Meanwhile I looked at my bill, and T-Mobile billed me for less data than SPB says I used, so perhaps T-Mobile isn't including the time spent connecting to the network. On the other hand, there was one day where T-Mo said I used over 1.5 MB and SPB says I used less than 1.1, a large discrepancy.
Are you able to recive your mails thru the GPRS connection? I have to use a proxy server for the GPRS to work, but I can't get new mails thru this GPRS connection with proxy. (using build in messaging application)
I can get new mails when using WiFi...
Can you change any settings to allow mail download over GPRS, thur proxy...?
thanks
CIAO!

I do receive mail
I don't use a proxy server but have T-Mobile settings. Can you browse the web on GPRS? You need the settings for your carrier.
Yes I can browse the web, but for that I need to set the proxy server and server port explicitly within Opera 8.60
Within the GPRS connection I activated the checkbox to use a proxy server and set al settings correctly, still the messaging application don't want to use the GPRS connection. MSN doesn't work over the GPRS neighter.
At the messaging account settings, within the advanced settings I only can select as 'Connect to' -> 'The internet' or 'Work', but not my GPRS connection.
What is your setting for the connection within the advanced settings of you messaging account?
Thanks

I have the standard APN=internet2.voicestream.com setting, which is automatically inserted by the T-Mo customization in the 2.26 ROM (I have another thread on this). You might solve your problem with this extensive thread:

I am by Base and everything works fine without a proxy. Here are the settings taken from their website :
BASE Data (Internet over GPRS) instellingen
APN: gprs.base.be
User name : base

DNS servers: dynamic
SMTP Relay (Optional): mail.internetmail.be

You shoul NOT use the settings for Wap over Gprs! You should use Internet over Gprs settings.

Thanks for that, actually, I'm using Base I-mode (7€/20MB = 0,35€/MB) instead of the real GPRS option (2,5€/MB)
But for I-mode on a Windows Mobile phone, you need to use a specific proxy, else it won't work
So in fact, this GPRS is not really supported by Base, and that's why I can't ask Base for a solution
i will take a look at the mentioned link, thanks anyway!!

Yeah, I read about the I-mode hack.
Instead I went for "BASE Data Access+"
5€ for 10MB and then 2,50€/MB.
Terribly sorry about hijacking this thread
Data use
I've now tested this further. "Normal" turning on the GPRS when the phone connection has been lost requires 40KB of data flow, according to SPB GPRS Monitor. This turns out to be most of the data I'm using, just connecting ten or so times per day, that is, connecting requires 500KB of data when I am in a place where I lose my connection frequently.
It is still mysterious why email takes so much data, too. With ten messages existing on the server, all having been read, to delete two takes 40KB of data. Sending a 2KB message usually takes 10KB. Why the overhead? (I keep my server mostly clean, just unanswered emails on it).
Hi everybody!
I have a little issue using my work's exchanger server connectivity on HTC Touch Pro.
Issue: To access internet, my provider uses their "walled garden" APN, which allows me to access their services & general web.
This APN, however fails to work with Exchange.
To overcome this, they have given me another APN, which allows me to access Exchange/Push & Internet but not their services.
Now, it is really, REALLY annoying have to change APNs every time I need to access different info (web vs. provider's page) and I have not been able to find anywhere to specifically point Active Sync to use the required APN as it only has option for "Internet", which I assume is the generic active access point
Dialling rules also are useless as I'm using HSDPA with no proxy to access web.
Apologies if this is all too confusing and thank you in advance for your assistance

Thank you!!!
So I have done that and can have 2 multiple APNs running at the same time!
It seems, however, that both connections have to be "ON" at the same time as when all APN are disconnected, it doesn't chose the correct data account but always the one that is higher on the list.
Is there a way to overcome this - is there a way to prioritise which data account I want to be used first?
Thank you again

Hi, I have a HTC Kaiser with BlackBerry Connect and I don't have the issues you describe. BBC creates it's own APN which is not used for anything else. In 'Connections' I have 'My ISP' set to use the Vodafone APN I manually defined. Under normal circumstances BBC keeps its own APN connection active, if I open IE or another app that uses the Internet then the Vodafone APN activates and the apps send their traffic over this connection.
One issue I have is that there is no way to disconnect only one APN connection, when you click 'disconnect' both APN connections are closed, however a few seconds later the BBC one reactivates.
EDIT: Sorry, scratch that... For some reason I though you were using BBC - don't ask me why, obviously my brain was wandering elsewhere. But back to your original problem. I don't use Exchange ActiveSync and I don't know if you can configure ActiveSync to use a specific APN like BBC? You might be able to configure the Exchange Servers URL to be in your Exceptions list so it uses your 'My Work Connection' instead of the 'My ISP' and therefore uses a different APN? I am not sure if it would work, but worth trying?

I just installed BlackBerry Connect v4.0.0.104 on my Raphael and it works great. I am recieving my mails and can browse the net through the Internet Explorer but all other applications which require internet access such as Opera, Weather, IMs, etc. have stopped working.
I went to Settings -> Connection -> Connections and it was empty even though my phone showed it was connect to EDGE (small E on top of the signal bars). I then created a new connection with my carrier's APN settings and connected it. I was then able to use all the other applications but the blackberry service got suspended.
From what I understand the BlackBerry Connect application connects directly to the blackberry server without creating a dialer in Settings -> Connection -> Connections so even though its already connected the non-blackberry applications think there is no connection.
Secondly if I create a new connection it disconnects the blackberry connection.
I want to know if anyone has figured out a solution for this. Is there a way to create a proxy to link to the blackberry service or something?
Thanks in advance.

You should be able to enable multiple simultaneous APN connections. I have done this on my Kaiser and use BlackBerry Connect. I must admit though I have never been able to use IE over the BBC APN connection when using the 'BlackBerry Browser'. I assumed this just set some Proxy settings?

Search for OperatorContexts.

Thanks but 3G is not available in my country, i'm stuck with GPRS and EDGE.

I apologize for being so hasty. I tried your suggestion and it works even without 3G. Thanks.
I thought that simultaneous connections were not possible with just EDGE but I was wrong.

Go to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\OEM\RIL\OperatorContex
There you will find several numbers. E.g. 26202 for Vodafone in Germany.
The number is a combination of MCC / MNC so 262 02. You might find you operator in this list:
http://surfio.de/info/mcc_mnc/mcc_mnc_liste_6.html
What happens is if your operator is not in this list there will be a key created with no contend. I inserted in there by copying from one of the others:
GPRSContextNumber = 3
UMTSContextNumber = 3
This is the source for the value of NetworkContexts in:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\Cellular\RIL\
Just set the Contexts value to 3 and delete the NetworkContexts entry. It will be created from the source above with the value 3.
I am so happy that I finally found that out. That was such a pain for a long time. Hope that helps some others as well.

I've searched and all I could find is how to fix resizing of MMS pictures. But for me I can't send them. It always says unable to send message. I don't know if I can receive them because I haven't had anyone send me one and I can't obviously send one to myself.
You will probably have to hard reset your phone. That happened to me and that is what I had to do.
look in
settings menu all settings connections
and see if you have a connection setup option, which should set up web data and mms data.
or, in the start menu, there may be a tmo branded item, possibly looks like a sim card, which will request settings from your network, , (though it doesnt work on my o2)
Alternatively, have you been messing with the mms server settings? particularly which data connection it uses to send? cos (certainly on the o2 uk one) if you set mms to use the wrong data connection it fails. (One is propper data, teh mms one is wap)
