How do you select what network connection to use? 99% of the time I only ever want the phone to connect to the internet over Wifi (or bluetooth/cable connection to the computer) and not using Cingular's network. There is the occasional time that I would like to enable that but most of the time I want to only use the Wifi. Where can I set so it doesn't connect to Cingular accidentally (say if I'm out of Wifi range or hit the wrong button) so i don't get large data charges?
Thanks
In connexion option set default internet connexion as "my work network" and privat network default as "my work network" as well.
So lemme just confirm something - unless I configure server settings on the a HTC TyTN (using stock rom) on the Cingular network - it will not be able to use Cingulars network right? The only time I will be able to access the internet with the phone is over wifi, bluetooth connection (or USB) with an internet enabled computer. Otherwise the internet will not function and I will not be charged data charges correct?
I don't really ever find myself using the internet on a phone when I'm away from home so I can't justify the expense of the data service but I work on a few websites that I'd like to look good on a cellphone so that's my main reason for wanting internet access on it - so while I'm at work I can log into the wifi system and test the site while I'm tweaking the code.
Am I correct in assuming that I shouldn't be charged under this situation?
Hi, I'm on Vodafone and I made the changes fun_key posted without noting down the original settings. Please can someone tell me what the default settings are for internet connection and private network connection. Thanks
just starting to play with my hd, when sending an email or browsing the web is there a way to set what method is used i,e, wireless if in range or the orange mobile network, which i will be charged for?
i think by default, if you have wifi connection, it will connect to internet through there before trying to use the mobile network provider's internet.
Does anyone know for certain? Could work out costly on guess work
Yes, it always uses wifi first.
Thanks for the info, I will keep a close eye on my bill just to be on the safe side
I got a unlocked Touch HD. I can turn on WiFi and go on line via Opera. I am currently using ATT. My network connection is Media Net. If I turn off the wifi then, I can not get any sites to open by just using my data plan. Under ADVANCED NETWORK do I need to diasable HSDPA/HSUPA. Can some1 tell me why the intranet does not wot\kr unless I'm using my wifi..
in settings, go to proxy, and try disabeling my connection requires a proxy, it should do the trick
touch HD opera internet connection (reply back)
I double checked and made sure the PROXY SETTING box was not checked and it was not. I still can only access the web via wifi. Any more suggestions.
I would talk to your IT guy, there maybe a reason you can't access the intranet, blocked MAC is one that I use.
block MAC....that's that. I am not trying to use my work site IP for web access. I have a data plan with ATT. The phone will not connect to the web unless i connect by using wifi.
Try start>connections>then connections wizards thing, sorry I got a dutch HD so don't know the english.
Mine was bend on choosing a different ISP than my own, after I use the connections wizard it rerouted my internet through a proper channel and I can access internet through my mobile provider, hope this works for you.
Reflashed my Jade from UK Orange to JADEMAN rom recently...
Can anyone tell me how to force the phone to use Wifi to connect to the internet.
It connects via GPRS fine but i want to disable the GPRS DATA for travels abroad so I don't run up a huge data bill. I can stop the data with "NoData" app, but if I now try to connect to internet with Opera or Internet explorer if fails..
Is there something I am missing, to tell it either to connect via wifi before using GPRS data or to only connect via wifi. Do I need to create a connection ?
The create new connection page doesn't list using WiFi, bluetooth is the only "WIRELESS" type connection that appears to be offered.
Also when the wireless AP list is shown and I try to connect to an AP showing available that I have previously setup with WEP key etc, it fails to connect.
I am sure to be missing something but I can't spot what the problem is...
Any help appreciated.....

start/settings/wireless controls/menu/connections..
then select..
you can download 'nodata' on here and use it to disable data connection when you are not using it..
I had to disable the proxy server for my 3G service provider and set the Broadcom 802.11 DHD Network Adaptor to connect to "The Internet". I did the same to my email accounts.
now it switches automaticly if wifi is on and if not it always uses 3G.
It will still connect to 3G when I wake up the phone but that's because some background apllications (like internet time and location) only seem to work over 3G. And probably for a reason.
Just gave it another try. Wifi takes over (and auto-disables) 3G connection fully. Twitter and Weather are updated fine using Wifi.
Just had a read about 'nodata' but that isn`t what i was looking for.
Ideally when in wi-fi range phone should use wi-fi.
when out of wi-fi range data connect connects
when you return to wi-fi it reconnects to wi-fi and drop data
i.e wifi connected = no data connection allowed
no wi-fi connection = data connection allowed
Basically, you need to leave the wifi on all the time for what you're asking, and that will destroy your battery life!
You can set it to not notify you of finding wifi connections in range, but it will constantly be looking for them (see All Settings, Sounds & Notifications). When it finds the one that you have told it it can use (you can only have 1 of them if you do it this way), it will start to use it. Once wifi has connected, your phone simply won't use the data connection.
It's that simple, but I'd highly recommend against it.
it's normal on mobile phones to only turn wifi on when you need it .. all phones with wifi I owned worked that way. And like johncmolyneux already said the reason is battery life and the constant searching for networks would lag your device with other operations.
I don't blame people that they keep confusing this device with a notebook as it almost is one, but then again a notebook only lasts a few hours with wifi on..

I belive this is what I need to do.
I travel between a few sites with wifi, what setting do I actualy need to change? you say "then select" but what? sorry for sounding dense.
or when your phone is in range and connects to wifi, does it automaticly use the wifi not the data conenction?

If you have wifi on, your phone won't use your data connection.
