Hi all, I am new here and to smart phones, did the "cc" tweak for the volume, worked great, I now have a wifi issue, i have signal, the phone see's the signal, but when i launch IE it say's "your internet comm is not config properly. Please verify your settings in data connection" I have looked at things and cannot find anything that loks wrong. I find connections but not data connections. If anyone can help.. I am deployed in Iraq and have very little access to any kind of help...Thanks-- ps..feel free to use email
It may be that internet explorer is set up to only use WAP and therefore not able to get a connection. In your IE options, make sure it says Internet or Work depending on how you set your wifi up.
Stay safe.

HI all,
first of all i want to thankyou all for this awsome site and keeping the good work going.
I need some help with wifi setup.
I tried to setup my wifi with my 8125 using wifi companion and wifi fofum and both detected my network and connected to it successfully however, when i try to connect to the net using internet explorer a msg pops up saying that "cannot connect" Dialed +some number and then it says No modem at above number. To check connections settings change them if needed. I upgraded my rom to the latest one from cingular how ever i never entered this number which it is showing. Can some one help me with this issue and tell me what should i do.
thanks in advance.
Ps:- I tried wifi companion and wifi fofum separately not together.
thanks.
sounds like internet explorer is trying to connect to gprs or cellular modem or somthing.
you need to go to settings, connections, advanced, select networks, and make sure the drop down lists are set to "My Work Network"
Also check under setting, wireless lan, powermode and move the slider all the way to the left for best performance. I cannot connect to any routers when it is in the middle (the default setting). I have no problems connecting anywhere with it set to best performance.
Hullo
If you've seen me post already it was to do with me setting up TNT5.0 on my Wizard, which I've done.
What I'm now having issues with is setting up an internet connection.
I can connect the phone to my wifi, which is all well and good but if I'm at home, I can check my email on my PC.
I've never de-branded my phone before, and there was always already preset O2 internet connections on it. So how can I set up these previously default connections on my PDA so I can download my outlook email connections via the internal modemy thing? (ie: anyone know the O2 settings, I think there are two on the phone, O2PayMonthly - my tarrif, and O2MobileWeb.)
Any clue?
Thanks
I've been through various pages, and nothing seems to have worked:

http://www.itrack123.com/content/blogcategory/10/71/
http://www.filesaveas.com/gprs.html
I only seem to be able to make modem connections rather than GPRS (or is that the same) either way I can't get the web or email to download. These work connecting to my wifi.
Downloaded an o2 contract cab settings from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=263609 but the file didn't seem to do anything specific to my phone
I was wondering if there is any way that when phone needs to connect to the internet it pops up a message asking which internet access i want to use, i have a fuze and dont have an internet plan and i noticed that most of the times i do something it connects to the att internet instead of my wireless network.
thanks in advance
settings---> connections and modify the connection so that it can't automatically connect to it. there are also programs that I think can stop the gprs/edge from coming on, something similar to nogprs or something like that.
"http://www.benrichards.co.uk/downloads/NOGPRS.zip DEAD
This will allow you to shut off your gprs connection, it will not set up your wifi connection. You must get that to work also.

try this one.

Here's an explanation of how it works by stewD!http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=310087
Tested, works like a charm. Just run cab, and look for a no data icon in programs. CLick connection and toggle. Make sure the connection is deactivated in comm manager first, for nodata to work. Try connecting, and voila ! No gprs.
pce
thanks man thats really what i needed, 1 question when deactivated does it still show the 3g on the top of the phone?
This phone is bugging me. ill be home, where I have low/no service, ill try to connect to wifi, but the phone will try to connect to gprs/3g. then sometimes ill have service and it wont connect at all. IE will work but not opera or some other programs. WIFI is searching 24/7 telling when theres a connection. anyone else have this problem?
I want to leave wifi on but only connect to networks registered.
I want if there's no 3g connect to wifi if available.
seems simple to me. possible? maybe i need to change some settings?
There is "no data" but that don't really solve the problem.
I have expereinced the same, especialy if I have low signal then the gprs/3g connections starts up.
It would be neat with an application that gave you a pop up where you had to confirm that you want to connect thru anything other than wifi or bluetooth.
I have the nodata program on my phone and it works great. Search the forum for the program and if you cant find it tell me and I'll attach the .cab

NoData is probably not what you're looking for. It will allow you to disable traffic through a selected data connection. But it must be enabled / disabled manually. Sounds like you're looking for something that will toggle automatically, giving priority / preference to your WiFi connection when it's available.
There's a program called CommMgrPro that will do what you're looking for. That is, enable and disable connections based on things like cell tower location, detection of WiFi, etc. There's also a forum page for the program here.
A program called Bandswitch (at the same site as CommMgr Pro) will do similar to NoData, except it will let you choose enable / disable based on Time of day presets.
Also here in the forum you can find a program called WifiLocations. It will do similar to the first program above above. If you search the forum there are a few more (some free) programs that will do what you're looking for. Good luck!
My problem with the nodata program is that I can't seem to disable gprs/3g traffic while using wifi. It might be that I have an old version, but I have found many times that even with nodata running in the background with disabled data traffic, it still connects me if I loose my wifi connection.

thank you very much for the info. I think I sorta fixed it pretty well on my own.Still need the toggle off and on though.
I hard resetted it with out the bloat. then configured my interenet like this:
http://forums.wireless.att.com/cng/board/message?board.id=cingular&message.id=110811
then i went to sounds/notifications in settings, i think, and disabled the wifi notification.
seems to work pretty well.
i take back what i said.it goes in and out. I had 3g service and it said I was connected to media net, but it wouldnt let me get to the net. this phone is a pain when it comes to internet and gps
what do you guys have for internet settings under start>settings>connections>connections>advanced>select network
what setup do i use in the first in the first box and the which setup in the second.
mine 1st media net
2nd my work network (whatever that is)

Edit your MEdiaNet connection settings so your proxy is DISABLED. If it is enabled your WiFi will try to use it too - which is not possible. Unchecking the proxy will have have no discernible impact to your browsing speed when you are using the AT&T data connection.

You can safely set both to MEdiaNet. If you have WiFi enabled and you're connected to your access point it will take precedent over your GPRS (Edge) or UMTS (3G) connection. It is not necessary to disable the AT&T data connection if you are connected and browsing over your WiFi connection. As soon as you turn off or lose your WiFi signal, your phone will go back to using the AT&T data connection.

okay..thanks for the post.
set media net for both and disable proxy and I should be okay correct?
2 questions:
how do I disable the the proxy? delete wap.cingular from the settings? click disable proxy icon?
also i heard if you have one of these disable you cant use your mms?
up up up and away...
I sometimes uses the wifi connection to surf the web on my touch pro, problem is that the wifi reciver don't look to be very strong so sometimes I loose the connection, especially if I'm moving around.
I have found the program nodata, but it doesn't seem to work that well. Even if I activate nodata and have it running in the background while surfing the phone still connects to gprs/3g connection if the signal is lost. My guess is that if I click a link after I loose the wifi connection the phone seem to override the funtion of nodata. Is there any other software that I can use instead?
I want the phone to wait until a wifi connection is established again instead of changing to a 3g/gprs connection.
I'm not sure. Once I removed all the data connection settings, but then I couldn't use the data ever. I've been keeping an eye for a program that does this, but it seems that everyone under the sun other than me has a data plan.
hahaha yo are noy allone out there, I would alslo like to know how to disable data conection.
the answer - modaco nodata. Its not the neatest but the only one
EDIT: and also you can do this in Advanced Configuration Tool from "connections" menu item. If you want a more permament solution (because of the long way to the choise in the app)
All the apps I mention are really easy to google for

yes...nodata is the one you want.....just search and you shall find
Not sure if this helps but when I handed down my Hermes to my Father in Law just so he could use it for phone calls and TomTom (via BT GPS). I had AT&T block all data so he can only use wifi.
It works great! when his wifi is turned off and he tried to go to the web it says connection refused.
Thanks for the input guys, but nodata don't seem to help me. It's the software I use now, but it seems that somethign is able to override the nodata software leading the phone to dial up when the wifi connection gets a low signal.
I'll give the Advanced Configuration Tool a go, but it seems to be a lot of work going in there turning things off, just to go back and activate them again if I want to check my mail "in the field".
I have an at&t Fuze with no data plan, just unlimited text/mms. I cannot disable data by using Modaco's NoData because mms requires Media Net.
What I have done so that all apps use WiFi is the follows:
Under Start / Settings, select the Connections tab.
Launch Connections.
Select Advanced tab.
Click on Select Networks.
Under Network Management, change "Programs that automatically connect to the Internet should connect using:" to "My Work Network".
With this setting, I don't have Internet connection unless WiFi is active, which is what I want. Maybe the Touch Pro has something similar.
Thanks icwinner, that seem to have made the trick.
