Hi,
For some strange reason, I'm unable to connect to the Internet when I have my USB connected to my 8125 to a computer which has internet connection (the computer I'm using right now). It constantly tries to dial the GPRS.
It used to connect to the Internet and never dials to any GPRS. This started happening today. I haven't changed anything at all.
When I open PIE it will load the MSN page but still tries to dial. I try another URL (yahoo) and it will not connect. I believe its displaying the MSN homepage using the temporary files.
Please help!
Try a couple things...
On the PPC go to Start > Settings > Connections Tab > Network Cards > and make sure "The Internet" is chosen for "My network connects to:" and click "Ok"
Next, on your computer, open ActiveSync > File > Connection Settings > and make sure "The Internet" is chosen for "This computer is connected to:" and click "Ok"
(Even if those settings are correct already, still pull down the menus and choose them again, clicking ok afterwards, everyone knows windows likes to accidentally forget settings even when they are still correctly displayed) Reboot the computer and PPC, then try again
If all that fails, then on the PPC go to Start > Settings > Connections Tab > Connections > Advanced Tab > Select Networks > and click "Edit" for whichever connection you have chosen for "Programs that automatically connect to the internet should connect using:" > on the modem tab make sure "auto pick" is selected > on the "proxy settings" tab make sure "this network connects to the internet" is checked > make sure "this network uses a proxy server..." is UNCHECKED > click "Ok" > click "Ok" > click "Ok"
That should do it for ya
I seems to have a problem with my e-mails on my "work account" deleting themselves. Sometimes i recieve an e-mail notice and when i hit to open the email, nothing is there. I have been trying to stop my e-mails from getting deleted period, and can't seem to get that working. I wish that e-mails would just stay on my device like they did when i had my BB 8330. Don't get me wrong i love my TREO PRO but when it comes to email, the 8330 has the upper hand. ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED!!!!
Not sure if I get this correct but you can set e-mails to stay on the server when you enter Advanced Settings.
E-mail > Menu > Tools > Options > Select Account > Edit Account Setup > Next > Next > Next > Next > Next > Next > Advanced Settings
Also check if the download messages is set correct.
Hope this helps.

KEEP THEM ON THE SERVER
Thanks for the tryin' but i still have the same problem.
You might try FlexMail to see if that improves your e-mail handling?
Haven't tried it on the Pro so can't tell for sure if it's working correct.
A bit pricey but there is a trial!

On my Diamond, I had a handy little application called NoData which deactivated data connections so that I didn't get charged for using mobile internet by mistake.
Is there any way to do the same thing on the HD2?
Thx.
I am also looking for an app that can do this.
I'm off abroad in a couple of weeks and I am already having nightmares about the bill I may have when I return if I can't find a way to deactivate the data!

Just use the same app
Grtz,
Degake
there is a app out there called...................nodata
oh, are you sure it works on the HD2?
nodata works fine but i use bsb tweaks to disable data connections manually before crossing the border so i can enable it just in case
Since I have no data plan with my carrier i disable connections not referring to WIFI alltogether, I just go to Settings, connections, menu, connections, advanced, select network, and put "work network" (or something, I have it in italian) to both.

there is a vey simple way to deactivate the data connection: long press the on/off key and you will get a little menu: one of the menu items is deactivate data connection. Press it and it's done.

That terminates it, but it doesn't stop it coming back on when an app tries to use it.
Is there a reason that no-one has suggested airplane mode?
no cab needed, the answer is on the HTC site:
How do I disable my 3G/GPRS Data Connection?
Follow the steps below to ensure that your phone will never connect to a GPRS/3G Data Connection.
1. Go to Start > Settings > Menu > All Settings > Connections > Connections
2. Tap Add a new modem connection > then under Select a modem, select Celluar Line (GPRS) > Name the Connection "Offline" >Tap Next.
3. In the Access point name text box input "Offline" and tap Next.
4. On the next page tap Finish.
5. On the second Connections Menu, tap Manage existing connections and select "Offline" then click OK.
Re-enable the data connection if you want to connect to the internet via 3g/Edge.
1. From the home screen, slide to the Settings tab, Wireless Controls > Data Connection.
2. Select your Country and Operator
3. Tap OK.
4. On the subsequent screen, tap Yes.
The phone will automatically configure itself with the appropriate settings.
Note: When disabling the connection in this way, your phone may report errors when trying to connect to "Offline." The error is caused by the phone being unable to connect to a data source due to the settings, and is normal.

This is what i want to know. How can we auto disconnect data connection after certain period of time. For example if i set up my device to update weather every hour using EDGE, it wont disconnect automatically but i want it to auto disconnect once the weather is updated regardless of i notice it or not. How do we achieve that?
Hello, I have installed the modaco no data app and it works a treat.

Hi there,
Seen many posts online, folks explaining how to do it and some ROMs have it, question, does anyone see a clear way of disabling ONLY MOBILE/DATA on 2ND SIM? It seems the enable is for BOTH SIMs... best I could find is use a dummy data-plan, and set the quota to 1MB or smaller value, trying to figure if there's a way to totally shutdown only mobile data, not the actual SIM, so it does not attempt connection (plan-b I've seen folks editing the APN with rubbish, prefer not to go there if possible)..
Thanks for any ideas..

OK, FIGURED This out. This answer is specific to MIUI ROM it might work on other similar devices to 7A..
Two options:
1) Settings-> "SIM Cards & Mobile networks" > "Set data plan" > "Data PLAN" (for SIM2), then in "Peak data limit" set to 1KB, in "When data plan is used up" set "Warn and turn off mobile data" go back one screen, in "Enter data usage" type "10GB", this will automatically EXCEED the limit, and block access to mobile.
second option is:
2) Open the Security Center app, main page will show things to fix, there is a "plugin" named: com.miui.securityadd ("Security service plugin") , however on the security center app the name is not printed, it's an icon of a DROP of WATER, on mine it's second from top on right side, click that then you get the mobile data top-level GUI view.
click "Restrict data usage", under mobile data, check the TOP sim2, the warning "Restrict sim2 mobile data connection from all apps", and clicking restrict will block all apps from sim2/mobile.. there is also a "default apps access" if u really want to account for future apps..
now u know how to disable, only hope you can remember how to REENABLE should the need arise
hopefully will help someone..

Fix for "GPS/Location service not working/weak" on Black Shark 2 (China Rom)
1) Download QuickShortMaker from Google Play Store
2) On the top left corner change "Incremental search" to "Normal search"
3) Search for "GPS"
4) Select A-GPS (Tap the GPS item on the list to show A-GPS)
5) Change your settings to this:
Change Access Network type to "All Networks"
A-GPS SI mode to "MSB" ( sometimes MSB works too so make sure to try both)
Change default server address to "supl.google.com"
Change Server port to "7276"
6) Press "More" on the bottom and "Save"
7) Settings --> Apps --> Manage Apps --> Google Play Services
Make sure Autostart is enabled
Make sure battery restrictions are off
Make sure all permissions are enabled (make sure "Get location info" is set to "Always allow")
Reboot phone
