The weather app seems only to update when I have a wifi connection. Is there a way to set it up that it also (or preferably) uses the mobile data connection?
Kind of same question for email. Under the advanced E-mail setup settings, I choose to use the mobile data connection. It was default set to "The internet", but this way, i only received mails when I had a wifi connection. Is there a way to set it up that is uses wifi, and if not available, the mobile data connection?

It sounds as though your mobile data settings are incorrect.

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.

Anyone?
Thanks

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:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=20428&highlight=internet2+voicestream
Meanwhile, this is a thread about GPRS data use, not about solving GPRS problems.
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
Password: base
DNS servers: dynamic
SMTP Relay (Optional): mail.internetmail.be
http://www.base.be/BASE/nl/Home/Producten/Diensten/Mobile_Data/page.aspx/1915
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!!
CIAO!

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).
I'm on Vodafone and I have different Internet connections for MMS and Internet (maybe all operators do the same, I don't know).
Right now, my 3G / HSDPA connection is almost always on. I don't know why, because I only set the e-mail to auto-check each hour, but after that the connection remains on until I shut it down manually or I connect the phone to the USB cable.
Every time I receive a MMS I get a notification for a few seconds asking me if it should disconnect the active connection to get on the MMS connection. Then I have to press Menu, then Yes.
Is there a way to give this MMS a higher priority to automatically download my MMS, then disconnect? Or to automatically disconnect 3G / HSDPA connection when it's not in use?

This is bothering me too

Just set your Internet connection to download MMS too.
MESSAGES -> MENU -> MMS OPTIONS -> SERVERS
There chose your MMS server
Then CONNECT VIA -> set your internet connection.
Nope, it didn't work that way. I tried with "The Internet" and also with my Internet data settings, but it won't download the MMS - just pop up an error that it can't download the message. Only "Vodafone MMS" works in "Connect via".
So the question stands. Maybe there's a way to automatically disconnect from 3G when no apps are using Internet. I can't believe that MS were such idiots when they designed this operating system...
You can use Advanced Config tool to close 3G session on idle, thanks to Menu > More Parameters > Connexions ...

Strange. My internet connection "live!" manages to download my MMS too.
Sorry that I could not help you.
I also have a "Live" profile, but I use one called "Mobile Internet" because "Live" has some ports blocked (for e-mail and other stuff). 10x for the help anyway.
I will try the advanced config method.

Thank you so much! It worked for me.
Thanks mate for such a simple fix. Having to always answer yes or no was a pain in the arse.

No, it's not. At least not for the ROMs based on R2A I've been using.
Had to change my MMS connection to "live!" in every ROM so far.

Where exactly can one find this? How do you get to Messages?
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.
I did a hard reset before but now when I try to conect to Live messenger it fails and the email won't sync. Internet works fine and weather updates ect.
Any ideas?
Thanks
i have a similer problem. cant send a recieve on 3g. it just says can not connect. turn on the wifi and bingo emails come down. back to 3g and nothing again. the connection i fine. i can go on line download app ect.
ive actually been going to the hotmail website to view my emails. this works fine but its not ideal. would like to get the main mail working prpoerly.
ARe you using T MObile roms? Try un ticking the 'use proxy' setting if it is set, and you should be good to go.
settings tab - menu - all settings - connections - connections - manage existing connections - proxy settings tab.
No access to email via 3G
Have set up access to email account which works fine when on a wireless network. When wireless is unavailable I am unable to connect via 3G (Telstra NextG). All I manage is a Cannot Connect message and a suggestion that I change my settings. There is no entry for a Proxy Server as I would expect and internet access via 3G is operative.
