Automatic Internet Sharing?

I'm using a 8525 with the latest ROM from Cingular. I was scared of the new pan profile, but it turns out to be far more reliable than stupid bluetooth DUN.
Now my only annoyance is that I have to go in and start internet sharing every time on the 8525. It would be ideal if I could just initiate the connection from my computer (macbook pro running 10.4.9) and not ever have to touch my phone.
I apologize if a solution has already been discussed, I searched around but couldn't find anything.
My only idea would be a mortscript assigned to a button that will go in and start sharing automatically. But that is only one step better than going in and running the software.
ideas?

Sounds to me like mortscript or skschema in your StartUp folder is probably the best option.

One of the problems with that is the settings get reset every time I disconnect from PAN network sharing. So I have to restart the app each time.
Similar to the concept of connecting to the internet automatically when needed, there must be some way to enable bluetooth internet sharing automatically when needed.

VPN over GPRS/3G

Hi there,
I have a serious problem which I need to solve because it is crucial.
I've used VPN for very long time without any problem with my Trinity.
Few days ago I tried to connect my VPN and the phone just continue to dial forever. The connections application in Settings became inresponsive i.e. I was unable to cancel the dial. After several soft resets and many swears I found that the GPRS/3G/HSDPA connection work perfect and the problem is not the network. I test the VPN with my PC and it worked too. I've deleted the settings from the connections panel and from the registry itself and recreated it all again. No luck at all.
I've totaled my options ... so I'm asking anyone willing to help with this issue.
No specific network applications are currently installed on my device except WMWifiRouter. I've tried Hamachi but it is now uninstalled. The VPN was working perfectly with or without WMWifiRouter & Hamachi. I'm sure of it.

I have a similar Problem, try this: delete all your WiFi Settings and reboot then the VPN over GPRS will probably work, till you connect to any WiFi next time..... I am also stuck in the next here.

I hard reset several times while it start working again.
The problem was not the wifi because after first few HR (they delete everything) the VPN was still not working.
This was a mystery for me.
P.S. It seems that this OS was written in the breaks between classes by retarded students. Although it has no real alternative for the moment.

Which App is trying to connect to inet?

Hello,
I do have here a problem on WM6. Every time to time my device connects to the internet (GPRS) and stays connected.
I have installed the nodata application, ans disabled the GPRS connection. It works ok, but the device becomes very slow to respond the commands after a while. Some application is trying to connect to the net. Connmgr.exe process is getting almost 100% cpu usage.
I have disabled every automatic update, activesync and son on but the problem remains.
How can I find which app is trying to connect?
Regards
Cabiri

my 2 cents
connect via your activesync/device manager, and get online via your desktop internet connection. now with netstat -b or any packet capture tool, try to find out where it is connecting. you will get an idea about the prog from remote address. like if it connects to msn.com, it'll be live messenger.. something like this.
you can also use a advanced task manager on the phone to check which applications are running in the background.
hope that helps

Thans, I will try both soluctions.

same problem here. this is happening to me just last few weeks. i can't remember if i was messing with some options in any program, but even if i did i was just turning off automatic connections since i don't like them. i also tried to uninstall my latest software, but that didn't help.it is possible that it is some kind of malware, but kaspersky antivirus did not find any problems. i hope that someone will find solution for this becouse it is very annoying.
p.s.
if this causes significant data transfer you can go to Settings/Connections/Connections -> Advanced tab -> Select Networks, and change settings to "My Work Network"

if you have a weather update, this maybe the one triggering your mobile to connect to the Internet. just turn the Automatic Update off

no, it's not any weather plugin since i removed them long time ago. and when i used them automatic update was turned off. however, if weather plugin try to auto update and if it fails, then you get an error message. this one looks just like it continuosly try to connect and it uses almost all CPU until it gets connected. whatever this application is it looks hostile and i don't like it. the war is on!
thanks for help anyway

Hi,
I even disabled the HTC today plugin... and it remains doing the same.
Until now I had no chance to track the traffic, I will try on the next days.

finally i found the solution for my problem. seems like windows live messenger is causing all my problems. i found that phone is trying to connect to internet only after using wlm. usually after i'm finished using wlm i just terminate the program. and this is the problem. i should first sign out, and then terminate wlm. after this everything works just fine. so be sure to sign out before terminating wlm. i'm sure that this is the problem because i've tested my theory few times and i guess that this is it.
i hope this helps to you. if it does please report here

Yeah I have the same issue, i believe it's been on several version of Windows live messenger, actually, it's even on the version I have of WM6.1 (I have an Elfin with the blue elves rom from xda which has wm6.1)
it's quite sad that msft hasn't fixed this yet, it henders the phone completely useless and seems like it should be something easy to fix, stupid WLM should just not retry so brutely
anyways, actually if you change WLM to "manual" instead of "as items arrive" that does the trick too, but then now your push mail is gone ;( lame!

Final Plea - Help with proper configuration

Guys,
I have a Touch HD and I have tried as I might to get it working with Wifi and Data connection perfectly; let me explain.
What I want to happen is this:
Wifi to connect to my home router (which it does) and allow the internet and access to my network (think I have that one sorted)
Data connection to start on all Internet based applications, when Wifi is not turned on
When Wifi is turned on, this connection to be used for all internet based applications
My issue is that I can only ever get some of these working at a time. For instance, my email is set to check every 5 minutes. If my wifi is on, my data connection still fires up and attempts to grab my mail, as opposed to using my already connected wifi connection.
I think I have sorted the Wifi connection issue when connecting to my network...I used to have to switch between "Internet" and "Work" for it to identify my LAN....however Resco Explorer seems to fix this issue.
Can anyone provide a comprehensive guide as to how to achieve the above....just annoys me how shockingly implemented WinMo networking is!
Thanks again - all help appreciated.

Sorry, I have no solution for what you ask.

Lately I do have problems using my WiFi though. I have it all setup with my home router since months and had no problems. Then at some point (don't know when exactly), all programs (like the weather, opera, email) started to not be able to connect anywhere, while at the same time my HD reports it is connected to my home WiFi network.
Everything works fine (internetwise) when connected through Activesync.
I saw this "Internet" and "My Work" options too, and I also have Resco Explorer. Could you please explain what it is you have sorted out in case it helps people ?
Edit: here's the problem thread

Weather works with 3G but no with Wi-Fi

Hi there!
I have a real probleam! Y changed the ROM of my HD a few days a go, and Facebook, Twitter and other programs work prefectly with the Wireless conexion to Internet, except the weather, when I try to refresh the weather with the wireless ON it says that it could not find any conexions.
Have you got any idea how to fix it? cuz I am becoming crazy, and is so hard to have the Cookie Tab 1.7 without the weather animation on it.
Thank you so much, I will be waitting your answer

I don't know if this will help. In the past, I have also had similar problems and sometimes I fixed them by doing the following:
Go to the settings tab > wireless controls
tab on Menu at the bottom and then on Connections
Now, find your GPRS connection and tap on "set up proxy server".
Remove the check mark from "This network connects to the internet".
Tap on OK and now see if your weather will update with Wi-Fi.
You should still be able to connect to the internet with both Wifi and 3G connections.
I don't really understand the concept behind all this, but like I said, it has solved some of my problems in the past, although the check mark sometimes re-appears automatically, but things still work fine. So, it is worth giving it a try.
