question -- utility software for 'changing modems'...?

to change the modem that is being used for a particular connection, i would need to go through several taps on my HTC Hermes...
Settings --> Connections --> Connections --> Manage Existing Connections --> Modem
then manually choose which 'modem' to use, then press the 'ok' button several times...
is there a software utility that can do this with but a few taps?
-- i know that you can select 'automatic' on the modem tab, however, i need a specific modem for specific browsing needs...
thanks in advanced...

anyone?
im looking for a software/trick/hack that allows me to change connections as simple as possible (it the least amount of clicks/taps)...
thanks!!!

Kaiser bluetooth mac internet settings

I have been playing with my new Kaiser(Tilt) since I got it earlier in the week. Rom is updated and everything is the way I like it. I would like to have my mac to connect to my Kaiser with bluetooth for internet access I just don't know what the AT&T setting are:
-telephone number
-account Name
-and password
I have looked all over and nothing I can find works. The Mac tells me
-A modem error occurred. Please verify your settings and try again.
What can I do to get this working? What setting are you using to make theis work for you?

You have to enable the Internet Sharing app. You can either find it in the Windows folder (IntShrUI), or you can do as I did and perform a hard reset but kill all the carrier customizations. By default, AT&T removes the program shortcut from your Programs folder. Here are some instructions, courtesy of the AT&T forums:
(1) From the Mac, initiate the pairing process with the phone. It will say the phone doesn't have any supported services, but then the last page of the Bluetooth wizard will say it supports a Personal Area Network.
(2) Open the "Internet Sharing" application on the phone.
(3) Change the method used to connect the computer from "USB" to "Bluetooth PAN".
(4) Click "Connect".
(5) On the Mac, click the Bluetooth menu on the Menu Bar and select "Join Network on [device]". (The Internet Sharing app on the phone should now say "Connected".)

Need more info
I got that part down, thanks. It's when it is trying to connect it imideatly disconects and tells me - A modem error occurred. Please verify your settings and try again. What are the settings on the mac side for
-telephone number
-account Name
-and password

Bluetooth PAN doesn't require those settings. It looks like what you're after is Bluetooth DUN. I believe you'll need to use the WModem app that's in the Connections tab. These should be the settings you're seeking:
Type [email protected] in the User name field.
Type CINGULAR1 in the Password field.
In the Dial field, type *99#.

Wifi connected but still uses Edge

when i am at home i would like to use my wifi connection but it appears that it still tries to use edge. how do i configure my connections so that it uses wifi if connected?
thanks

Hey,
have you properly set up ur wifi connection on ur device including any password protection and security (WEP/WPA etc).
Also and this might seem daft, but is ur wifi connection on router properly working or have you set up any access restrictions on router?

its not a question on whether the wifi connection actually works but edge overriding it.
but... yes i did all of the necessary steps to add my device (wep password, mac address added etc...)
if i turn the phone off the wifi works just fine.
thanks for the reply.

Hy,
you have to set the networks (Internet and Private Network) to "My Work Network".
Does this not work you have to make a rom update.
Greatz
mccoffein

You will find it at Settings -> Connections -> Connections -> Avanced -> Select Networks

that just makes everything not work

Which rom version do you have? Which device do you have? Which Provider Label do you have?

its all in my sig

I find that if I want to switch from cellular data to WiFi, I have to hit the Data button in the Comm Manager, then hit the WiFi button. Otherwise, it doesn't seem to switch. If I just turn on WiFi, it connects, but never know which one is going to be used.

Go to:
Touch "Start > Settings > Connections > Connections > Advanced > Network Selection.
Set both settings to "Office Network"
If this does not work then install a small file called "No data" or "Modaco No data"

no data works by removing a registry key for your connection settings..... so it will also disable your picture messaging and/or email if you use it. (just a heads up)

[Q] Sprint TP2 6.5 Data Roaming in Europe?

I just went to France for three weeks with my Sprint TP2 running Windows Mobile 6.5 (official Sprint upgrade, with Sprint SIM installed). I signed up for Sprint's unlimited data roaming plan before I left. When I arrived, my phone worked OK only for phone service with Sprint's European partners Orange F and F SFR - data roaming refused to work despite my following Sprint's written directions. I contacted Sprint and we tried various configuration changes, but after none of them worked, Sprint shipped me a Sprint TP2 running 6.1 (Sprint SIM) which worked fine for both phone and data roaming with default settings. Now I'm back in the US but would like to resolve the issue.
Questions for any XDA experts out there:
Where are the settings for SIM data roaming kept on the phone? (I couldn't find relevant settings in the TP2 Registry.)
Are there particular settings I should change to allow data roaming?
Are there any 'hidden' settings that might resolve this problem?
Could 6.5 have caused a problem that didn't exist in 6.1?
Any other ideas? Let me know if you need more information.
Many thanks!

not sure what settings they gave you.. but i can direct you in one place:
comm manager -> settings (right bottom soft key) -> Phone -> this is where i would go ..... check out network tab and GSM/UMTS services tab... use Get Settings to look deeper
let me know if that helps

There are a few likely possibilities:
1) The original SIM account information was improperly setup as voice only (quite likely).
2) The default connection info wasn't configured in the connection tab with the GSM data, and was still trying to connect to #777 (CDMA data line). This would obviously fail.
WM6.5 should work fine with data on both GSM and CDMA.

In the connections settings under manage existing connections you need to have the following to have Sprint dataroaming on GSM
Access Point = cinet.spcs
Server assigned IP and DNS

Thanks for the replies. As you could tell, I'm not an expert on this issue, and I've noticed that different versions of the TP2 apparently have different menu structures. So I have some follow-up questions:
For gamescan:
"1) The original SIM account information was improperly setup as voice only (quite likely)." Is this something that only Sprint can change, or something I can modify on my phone? (I would assume it's phone-specific, as the otherwise identical TP2 Sprint shipped me worked properly for data roaming.)
"2) The default connection info wasn't configured in the connection tab with the GSM data, and was still trying to connect to #777 (CDMA data line). This would obviously fail." Where exactly is that setting on a Sprint phone? I haven't been able to find it yet.
Thank you for the reassurance that 6.5 should work properly.
For highc:
"In the connections settings under manage existing connections you need to have the following to have Sprint dataroaming on GSM
"Access Point = cinet.spcs
"Server assigned IP and DNS"
Where are these settings on a Sprint 6.5 phone? I would have assumed that they're somewhere on the Comm Manager page, but I can't find the above under Phone or under Data Connection.
For mboguc:
The Get Settings button for GSM doesn't seem to have any settings that relate to data or data roaming. The only settings relating to roaming seem to be on the Get Settings tab for CDMA, which weren't accessible in Europe w/ GSM.
Again, I appreciate the feedback and hope to be able to narrow down the problem with assistance.

Start -> Settings -> Connections -> Connections
The phone settings and Comm Manager are both wrong places to be looking.

"Start -> Settings -> Connections -> Connections
"The phone settings and Comm Manager are both wrong places to be looking."
Thanks.
However, as noted above, menus vary depending on phone carrier and OS version. HTC has hidden the Windows Phone menus pretty well in 6.5. For my Sprint TP2 running 6.5, I have the following options for Start -> Settings:
Personalize (wallpaper, etc)
Wireless Controls (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, mobile networks, push mail)("..wrong place..")
Sound & Display
Data Services (options for ActiveSync, social networks, e-mail, etc)
Location (set location service options)
Security (encryption, phone lock and reset)
Application (remove programs, etc)
SD card & phone storage (view available storage)
Date & Time
Locale & text
Updates & feedback
Other (miscellaneous settings - none appear to be relevant)
About phone (battery status, device info)
Nothing resembling Start -> Settings -> Connections -> Connections here... The Tools menu has Comm Manager, but as you note, it's apparently not what I'm looking for. No other relevant options under Tools.
Any other suggestions? Thanks.

Oh, sorry. I usually run with Sense disabled.
Just disable it in the Today menu senttings and it'll be easy to find. Bring up the Today settings and then uncheck "HTC Sense" under the items menu.
Go back to the home screen and viola, you have the vanilla Win 6.5 interface. It's faster than sense and everything is where it belongs.
You can always re-enable Sense if you want it after making your changes.

"Oh, sorry. I usually run with Sense disabled."
Ahh, thanks, yes that lets me get to Start -> Settings -> Connections -> Connections
This turns out to be the same as Start -> Settings -> Wireless Controls -> Phone -> Data Connection in Sense. Under that menu, I have two choices, Sprint and My Work Network. I gather from the above comments that the necessary fixes should be under Sprint -> Manage Existing Connections (not under My Work Network).
I assume Existing Connections is where highc's recommendations would go:
"Access Point = cinet.spcs
"Server assigned IP and DNS"
Of course, now that I'm back in the US, the only things there are for Sprint/CDMA; there's nothing there related to GSM data connections on either the Sprint 6.1 phone or my 6.5 phone... I assume there was something while I was there?
Are the GSM-related "existing settings" documented anywhere? There are quite a few choices, and I certainly don't want to brick my phone . And are these settings stored somewhere in the Registry?

You can have multiple data connections setup in there. That's the standard Windows Mobile location for what is basically dial-up networking settings.
Each "connection" is nothing more than a specialized number for an ISP (typically your carrier). You set a default connection and then the phone uses that whenever you initiate a data call.
If you switch to GSM mode and are runing off a SIM, this is where you would put the data call information for that carrier.
You cannot brick your phone by editing these settings. At worst you'll end up disabling data, but a quick call to your carrier will get you the settings necessary to get it back.
Anything that is stored on your phone will be visible here.
