how do you setup or use the wifi of the xda atom? after connecting using wifi, when i open the internet explorer, my gprs automatically opens. why is this? how do i set it up that when i have a choice between gprs and wifi, i can click one and not worry about cutting off the other one? Am able to switch between gprs and wifi.
Thank you! newbie here.

Hello Everyone
I just bought a new XDA II on O2 network. This is the first time am using a PDA. I just want to knw whether i can use this PDA to connect to my laptop through a Private Area Network using bluetooth and thus share the internet on the PDA? If yes, could some one give me a hand on how to configure it?
Best Regards

when you are connected to activesync using bluetooth then you can surf on the internet unless your firewall is set to block it or you disabled the option in activesync on the pc

Is there a program that would soon open (IE, oprera, skyfire) asked if you want to connect via GPRS or wi-fi?
Can't see that there would really be any point.
Applications using the internet will use any active connection. If Wi-Fi is connected it will use that, else it will use an active GPRS connection or start it up if it is not already active.
If this hypothetical program asked, and then activated the one that you chose, then I would be interested, but I have never seen such a app.
no disrespect.. but this would pretty much be a waste of time.. programing such an application. as you can enable wifi using one of your hardware buttons.
if you enabled wifi, internet explorer won't even try to connect to GPRS. if you didn't enable wifi, it would automatically connect thru GPRS.
Hi,
How can I tell if my Vox is using the wifi connection, rather than the GPRS/Edge connection? I've got a wifi connection, but I suspect (or maybe I'm paranoid) that apps like Opera Mini and PockeTwit are using Edge, not Wifi.

just disable gprs acces points via nodata!
I live in the countryside where Internet service providers charge quite a bit for even a 6Mbit connection so I use my android for everything. I have a local network around the house for sharing files and media. Every time I need to transfer files I must turn on wifi on my android to connect to my home network, share the file, then disconnect again in order to browse the Internet on my phone. Is there any way to stay connected to my home network and still browse the Internet on my phone?

You could use an app in the market called Tasker. https://play.google.com/store/apps/...askerm&feature=nav_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDNd
You can set up a profile to turn on WIFI when you open the app that you are moving files with. When the app is closed Tasker will shut WIFI off.
Apparently there's an app called Super Download that enables multiplexing over both 3G and Wifi connections. I'm not sure if it will work in your situation, but I suppose it's worth a shot.

I will try both of these recommendations and hopefully one will work. Thank you

Hello all,
This is my first smartwatch, I am having some troubles connecting to certain WIFI. Is there limitations on what kind of WIFI network this watch can see and connect to? My home WIFI seems to work just fine, but when I am at work, it doesnt see all the networks, and the one it does see......it wont let me connect to? Is there any way to fix this? I am guessing it might be some sort of security settings on the WIFI at my workplace?

It may not have the functionality to connect to 5.0ghz, only 2.4ghz Wi-Fi. I can't test that because my home router is from my broadband provider. I tried a google search and the only thing that came up was that it can connect to wireless b/g/n. Nothing stating if it can or cannot connect to 5.0ghz.
it can only connect to 2.4 ghz networks.
5 ghz usually need a/ac standard to connect to.
