I hav GPRS enable on my phone and at my home i have a WiFi
So when i connect to the internet from my phone when i am at home it always connects using GPRS but i want to connect it through Wifi when i am at home...Is there any optio through which i can select as to how i want to connect to the internet i.e. either by GPRS or Wifi??
Plz help
disconnect your gprs connection just clikc on the Edge Icon on the top bar and then and disconnect the t-mobile data connection and then manually connect to wifi spot and it shouldnt connect through ur gprs until u want it to
If you have WiFi turned on, it'll automatically try to find a network it can connect you and notify you of the best connection. If it doesn't WiFi may not be on, you can check in the Comm Manager to make sure its on. If it is on, you can click the WiFi icon on the top bar and select your network.
The phone will automatically use Wifi instead of GPRS if WiFi is connected. If it tries to connect through GPRS it is either because WiFi is disabled or WiFi isn't connected to a network.
I don't know if this is a bug or if it is supposed to be this way, but if I tell the wifi connection to connect to internet I can't access my network shares I have on my computers on the network, but if I choose connect to work then it will work, but the problem is that if I choose work some applications that uses the internet will not work, Marketplace for example. How do I configure Wifi so it can access my home network and at the same time all internet applications will work?
I don't know for sure if this will help but you could try the following:
Start -> Settings -> Menu: All Settings -> Connections -> Connections - Advanced -> Select Networks.
Set your data connection from your provider in both options ("Programs that automatically connect to the internet should connect using" and "... to a private network should connect using"). Tap OK.
The network you selected should have "This network connects to the internet" checked in it's proxy settings. That way you're telling the phone that you don't have a dedicated work connection . Make sure your WFi connects to the internet as well.
This is how my phone is setup, and everything seems to be working (shares and internet access on LAN via WiFi) just fine. I specified also that "my computer connects to - the internet" in Mobile Device Center -> connection settings...
Maybe this will work? I'm really not sure, just a guess. There is some logic in it, but the Data connection settings shouldn't affect WiFi...

I've got my new phone today and it's awesome!!
For some reason, it's only connecting on GPRS (a "G" in the bar at the top) and I can't find the setting to tell it to seach for 3G/HSDPA networks!
On my old phone, I manually set it to only use GPRS, so this maybe why as the setting is remembered on the simcard (?).
There is an option to switch on and off 3g data access under Settings > Wireless and Network > Mobile Networks > Use only 2g Networks
Connecting to wifi works fine but i can't seem to get any internet connection with my mobile network. I have data enabled in my mobile network settings but it still doesn't connect. How do I fix this?
Sometimes I have to go to airplane mode then back again.
Can someone please school me on how the Advanced WiFi settings options work?
WiFi signal weak - Does this literally "Turn Off" WiFi on my phone when the signal is weak? Or just disconnect from the network it's connected to and keep searching for other networks?
Internet unavailable - Same thing... does this disconnect from the network or totally "Turn Off" my wifi when internet is unavailable? What is internet unavailable btw?
Just disconnects the current Wifi network....
Any wifi device can connect to a network whether it has access to the internet or not. If there is No access to the internet on the network the phone is connected to it will disconnect from that network.
