hello everyone,
I have a simple question, can i set my device to connect using wifi automatically when i run an internet application instead of going to the gprs, i tried to play with the connection setting but no luck.
regards
Hi!
I have managed this problem by defining double keypress to "backspace" key to turn bluetooth on/off and triple keypress to turn wifi on/off with AE Button Plus. Very handy tool! http://ae.inc.ru/aebplus.php
I had always assumed that any WiFi connection took automatic priority over GPRS?
On my HD and automatically :
- WiFi takes priority over GPRS/3G
- USB (ActivSync) takes priority over GPRS/3G and Wifi (which is automatically disabled, BTW)
- If neither USB nor WiFi are available, GPRS/3G is used.
Tested with IE, Opera, Mail and Weather.

How did you manage to get that set up?

First, do you get the wifi turned on automatically when you start ie or opera?
second, if yes, how did you manage to do that?

Here is how I configured (I'm translating from french, exact english terms might be a bit different) :
1. Parameters > tab "Connections" > Connections > tab "Advanced" > "Networks selection"
- In "Programs connecting automatically to Internet..." I've selected "Office network"
- IN "Programs connecting automatically to a private network ..." I've selected "OrangeWorld"
2. Parameters > tab "Connections" > WiFi > "Wireless networks" > tab "Network interface"
- In "My interface connects to" I've selected "Internet"
First, do you get the wifi turned on automatically when you start ie or opera?

I turn the WiFi ON/OFF manually. (For power saving reasons, I don't want it to be ON when I can't use it)
Youc an also use MoDaCo NoData utility to explicitly disable GPRS and other mobile data connections.
You need to register to download.
Alternatively, Schaps Advanced Config V3.3 has the same disable in its advanced settings, but its buried a bit too deep in the menu's.
okay, I didn't search for a few hours but couldn't find any answer, so don't flame me .
does anyone know a way to disable "ask to join wireless network" feature. If I turn on my wireless, I don't want to be asked if I want to join a wireless network if I am in range. This is annoying when driving through a city with your GPS running, the msg keep popping up if I want to join a wireless network. of course, i can simply just turn off my wireless, but that's not the point of this thread. I can also select "dismiss..." whenever being asked but I don't want to do that all the time.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Thanks...
In WM6.1 Professional, go to Start > Settings > Connections > Wi-Fi...
Then tap Menu > Advanced...
There should be a checkbox there at the top to set wifi notification on or off... Uncheck to turn it off...

Is there any reason why I can only update my location when connected through WIFI? Is there a workaround?
[Solved]
Refer to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5902752&postcount=11
There's already a lot of discussion on the "my location" feature.
You should think yourself lucky - mine's NEVER worked, over 2G, 3G, HSDPA or WiFi. It simply doesn't work for me.
Mine was working fine over all mediums until I installed "Touch X Disconnect data after E-mail check" tweak. Now, even after uninstalling it, I still cannot update either email or weather except over WIFI! I think a hardreset is in order here...
I previously had the Touch HD and thought this problem was just a compatibilty issue from using a LEO rom.

Same here mate. I'm very patiently waiting for a workround or fix for this issue. I've never even seen it working! lol
mine works fine anywhere except my home town, that's even more of a kick in the pants as far as i'm concerned. On O2 in the SW. Rivets
Shouldnt this be working :S?

I am in the US on ATT can only use edge, works all the time on edge and wifi, in fact I am amazed how fast it works
any updates on a possible fix for this? Has anyone tried something that worked?
I'm using 2.08 radio with miri 7.0 and I still can't get my location to work over 3g or gprs. It works fine over wifi.
Still broken with CleanEX 0.53 and 2.09 radio
Comm Manager (wireless controls on settings tab) -> Menu -> Connections -> Manage existing connections -> Proxy settings -> untick "This network uses a proxy server to connect to the internet"
Try updating from the weather tab. Should work after that.
From my experience, it's also a hit and a miss based on location, rather than settings. I can update weather at my work (about 40 miles from home) no problem, over wifi, 3g etc. I can add a location near my home town, and update that no problem at all, over any connection, however when I am home, I am unable to update my location weather.
I think it must be an issue with location, the town I live in is quite small, but the place I work, is a lot larger.
Works to a fashion!
Mine seems to work ok, but when I am in some parts of Derby (East Mids), it says I am in Southall!! Same on my Old Man's Vodafone HD2.
Mine: 1.43 Stock o2 ROM
Pops: 1.66 Vodafone Updated ROM

I've been searching for this solution to update weather via wifi! But for your solution, i have unticked "This network uses a proxy server to connect to the internet"
but how to update weather tab? When i go "menu" --> "Weather Settings" --> tick "Download data automatically" and it prompted me, i will be extra charge from internet service provider. and that will switch on my data connection again... headache~~
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,
I've disabled my data connection using the HTC mehtod but now when I've connected to wifi, I keep on getting an error message say page cannot be displayed and there is a problem with my connection?
Can someone please tell me if I've done something wrong? and if this is suppose to happen?
Thanks,
so i flashed to Darchdroid rom, but i CANT log into my google account. every time i try it says unable to contact server.
Skip the initial setup. Open up your settings. Go to wireless & networks. Turn off mobile network and turn it back on 10 seconds later. Then go to your account section and set up your Google account.

Mobile network [x]

in wireless and network settings it says mobile networks and when i click on it it says..
data roaming
system select
Not "Mobile networks". Above that... "Mobile network" without an s on the end.
nope above that is VPN settings
I know this option isn't available with the darchdroid, but did u flash the googleshits?
Wait... After a bit of searching in Darchdroid thread, I found out that it's not there. So... they recommend you do this:
