Bandswitch does a few tricks for me. However, it should be possible to:
1. Disconnect ANY idle connection after a given amount of time
2. Connect to WLAN IF there is a WLAN in Proximity which the phone has connection data and ONLY IF there is need for a connection
3. ELSE Connect to provider I-Net ONLY IF there is need for a connection
Very simple, one should mean. Bandswitch does most of this, exept it sill connects to provider I-Net although there is a WLAN (with password available) in proximity.

Pls help. It drive me nut.
I'm at home connect to (WI-FI) when i connect to internet the GPRS connection was active also. If i disconnect the GPRS the WI-FI still active but when i switch the web site page the GPRS re-connect back again.
How this happen??? only want use connection one of a time. If wifi available then GPRS inactive and otherway around if wifi inactive then GPRS active.
I have no proof of this, so it's just an assumption. I believe that the GPRS connection may be live but not actually in use. Both icons show up when I use WIFI too. I wouldn't pay too much attention to it. If you don't have a data package and want to avoid ever connection to GPRS or even temporarily block it, you can go under connections, connections, advanced, and set both to my work network. If you want to use it again, then set the second one to medianet or whatever your GPRS profile is named.
I configured my private wireless network, and the needed configuration for my cellular carrier web connection.
The issue is that whenever I am trying to surf to any webpage using my wireless LAN, my trinity always trying to connect to the cellular network, without using the available wireless connection. If I'm trying to cancel the conection process, it stopped but I can't surf anywhere.
Any ideas how to force the trinity to use the wireless network when available?
Thanks,
Amir.
In your connections configuration, create a new connection and do not add any entries to the Modem Section. Just configure the Proxy setting according to your ISP requirements. You have to change the connections configuration ach time you want a different connection to the internet. This you can do easily by creating different connctions for different situations.

It sounds as if your connection to the WLAN Router isn't being recognised.
1st thing to try is to go into the WLAn control panel, and in the Power tab, make sure the slider is fully to the left for max performance.
In the Network Cards CP, see if your router is listed, and whether Available or Unavailable.
Recheck the security settings- are you using WEP or WPA? Does your router have any Range Extender features- if so, turn them off.
Once you have a valid WLAN connection, the PPC will use that in preference to the GPRS, as long as you have WLAN conneced before opening PIE, and as long as there is no current GPRS activity when you open PIE (I find that if my Exchange Server is connecting via GPRS, then WLAN won't connect till the data session has completed)
For a quick way to force GPRS off, then on as needed, look for a great free app called Bandswitch. This allows you to force the P3600 to use GSM or 3G if needed to conserve power, and also to quickly enable/disable the various GPRS connections.
I am using Samsung i780 and have issue with some applications.
Most of applications work over GPRS and over WIFI without any issues: Internet Explorer, Opera, ActiveSync and Google Maps. These applications can both: initiate and use existing GPRS connection - I guess they use Connection Manager API.
But some applications do not work over GPRS
Metatrader 4 Mobile, PocketPutty - they can connect over existing WIFI connection, but not over existing GPRS connection, they also do not try to initiate GPRS connection.
PocketPutty is not "connection manager aware" (I know that from forum). About metatrader I could not find any information.
I tried many different settings in connection manager, but they could not solve this issue.
I have also tried to reflash my i780 with "WM6.1 WWE ROM - V3.3XG RELOADED" but this didn't help with my issue.
NOTE: On my i600 metatrader 4 mobile worked over gprs without any issues.
Maybe there is a magic registry setting or something? Maybe there is something I am doing wrong?
I am using Orange PL 3G/HSDPA connection.
Could somebody help me, please?
Accidentaly I have found a workaround which I do not understand.
When I change in connection manager
From:
Internet: My ISP
Work: My Work Network
To:
Internet: My Internet
Work: My Work Network
something strange happens:
GPRS connection is automatically established after powering on the phone (as with prev settings)
But IE is unable to resolve domain names, metatrader is unable to connect (on prev settings IE works)
When I disconnect my connection, and connect again opening page in IE. IE opens this page and metatrader suddenly connects! (meta trader never connects on prev settings)
I have no idea what's happening.
I found workaround which I completely do not understand .
Internet: My ISP
Work: My Work Network
I have added modem connection to My ISP.
This changed, that after power-up internet explorer works.
Next step is: go to connection manager and disconnect data connection (using HTC connection manager - not data call manager).
Then: connect to the internet using internet explorer or active sync
Now run metatrader - it works.
My questions:
Why is does it work while other configuration do not work?
Why do I have to disconnect data connection? - it is connecting first time using exactly the same connection settings!
How can I make this work in a civilized way?
UPDATE: PocketPutty also works after this workaround
Hello,
I need some help about my htc hd.
I want to ensure that, then i connected to internet via WIFI, my GPRS (3g) is not connected.
How can i disable the 3g GPRS connection, and enable WIFI only
Thanks a lot!!!
No Data will allow you to stop data connection.
so now if i closed my Orange network, the WIFI should work?
It is still doesnt work, do you have any idea how to configure it?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Course it will there seperate
All you do is block Orange connection when you want and unblock when needed
This program doesn't help me , because even i close it the GPRS still work.
But than i take the SIM from the phone, or turn off the phone feature, the internet connection is unavailable.
I think that all problem that was in some topics about the WIFI speed , is because of they used the GPRS internet and not the WIFI.
So , there some more complexive problem with internet WIFI in HTC HD.
Just try to take out the SIM and than surf in internet with WIFI? There is no way!!!!!
the connection icons on the top of the screen clearly show which data connection is active
the manual describe the meaning of all the top screen icons
settings->connections->connections->advanced-select network
pick my home network or whatever the non isp connection is named on your phone
and all data connections when there is no wifi or activesync connections to get free network from will fail with an error == you will never get a grps connection again
before you turn it back to my isp or what it's named on your device
When i'm home i've connected my HD2 to wifi. When i'm using programs who use a dataconnection (f.i. opera) how do i make sure these programs use wifi first if available and use 3G GPRS when there's no wifi connection available?
Thanks
Simple, make sure that data connection is off when you are at home, turn wifi on, login to your router at home and you can be sure that all apps are going to use wifi instead of data connection over 3G.
When your data connection over 3G is off and you start any app which requires (let me call this) `data transfer` - your data connection over 3G will turn itself on (3G has higher priority than Wifi and has been set-up as default).
From other point of view - when you turn on any data connection (over WiFi or 3G) and than lets say Opera, Opera will work under this particular connection. Example : You turned data connection over 3G on, than Opera, than Wifi. Turn 3G off and try to do any action with Opera (ex. link click, whatever which requires transfer of data) you will see data connection over 3G turning itself on again (even if there is Wifi still available).
Thanks for yor answer. Is it possible to change the priorities with a registry adjustment?
You only need MoDaCo NoData.
You can easily turn off every data connection with it. WiFi stays on tho.
I always use that tool when i dont want data conn to be on.
