Hi,
I've tried 3 roms so far with the Wizard and they don't seem to have the option ' this is a hidden network ' in the WiFI settings.
Do someone has any idea about how to fix that ?
As my WiFI network at work is hidden, it's quite a problem
Thank you
It dont have to be a problem
I have a hidden network and it works perfect... how?
Settings -> connections --> WiFi --> Add new --> fill in the credentials for your network and it will show up in the Configure Wireless Networks page
Thats all
My bad, I had a complete false vision about what hidden network means
You just have to know the ssid and it shows up, I think it must be an internal problems because I have 3 different HTC and it was not working just for the wizard.
The only difference between those 3 is that in the wizard the option " this is a hiddent network " is not available. I then thought that the problem was due to this
Anyway , solved
with windows vista it is not a good idea to hide the network as it will cause problems..
with xp this seems also the case when u experience disconnections at certain intervals

I dont have a data plan for my SP5m so my provider defaults any data access at a high "per KB" rate. Is there a way to prevent all GRPS/EDGE usage ? Ideally, I'd like to just be able to turn GPRS/EDGE "off".
the only thought I've had thus far is to use some "fake" settings so any attempt to use GPRS/EDGE would simply fail to connect.
Is there a solution or is my "fake" idea the way to go ? If I use the "fake" solution, what setting(s) do I need to change ?
I think all you have to do is delete the connection. Click the start menu then settings then connections and connections again. Then click on manage existing connections. Then take your stylus and hold it down on the connection name, for example for me it is tmobile, until a pop up box comes saying delete and connect. Tap on delete and your gprs settings are gone and you cannot connect.
If you want to keep your settings, maybe you can just create a new connection with fake settings and have that chosen as your connection when you dont want to use your providers GPRS.
The settings to change would be the number to dial, for me it is internet2.voicestream.com.
Goto Settings/Connections
Choose Connections, got to Advanced tab.
In "Programsthat automatically connect to internet should connect using:"
choose "My ISP". Or create new one with empty parameters..
Have fun....
deleted connection
Thanks for the easy solution (I like those types). I went ahead and deleted the GPRS connection. Things are behaving just the way I wanted !

stylus???
hmmm...I think SP5m does not have touch screen.
BTW: window mobile and window mobile smartphone are totally different OS.

This is not an easy solution to your request, but I just upgraded my QTEK 8300 to the latest Imate SP5M ROM and noticed that under the COMM Manager one can "Stop Data Services" by moving the joy stick to the icon or hitting number "5". It immediately stops the Data Flow (at least the G) disappears in the header. Not sure it is really stopping Data because when I go to WiFi and open IE, the G reappears. Might be due to the way I have my Cingular connections set up. I'll experiement some more and re-post later. I like the new ROM, snappier, the radio is much better in that I get a much better signal where I'm at.
Here's how you disable GPRS/EDGE Auto connect!!
Start > Settings > Connections > Manage my connections > Then just point to the list item and hold down until the menu pop up and select delete. Do it to all the items there such as T-Mobile / AT&T or Winmodem..etc... after you deleted everything and you go back to the connections page you will see "Add a new modem connection" under My ISP. Do not delete anything under "My Work Network"... Hope this help.
You can use Modaco NoData to disable GPRS/EDGE =D
Have a nice day
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.
I have the Fuze version on at&t network. I've disabled 3G on AT&T's side so there is no way to connect through there.
Nevertheless, my phone ALWAYS tries to connect to the 3G network and i've disabled 3G connections using Nodata.cab, advancedconfig, diamondtweaks.
Still, the warning signs always come up:
"there is a problem connecting to the gprs service in your registered home network warning"
and this occurs, when I turn on the phone and many other times.
Is there a way to disable this warning? I know I cant connect, its because i disabled it!!!!
anyone? it comes up like 50x a day andi have to click OK to make it go away every single time
Have you unchecked the auto update setting for the weather program? Doing this worked for me.
did that, but didnt fix the problem. anything else that can be auto updating or trying to contact the 3G network?
Go to start -- settings -- connections -- connections --advanced -- select network.
Here I think you can change the defaults so that when ever a program tries to use internet it will either use wifi (if available) or nothing....
I have blocked the wireless internet access on all my lines and this is how I solved the problem of getting gprs disconnect warnings.
Hope this helps.
Is it possible to just disable this warning?
I'm switching between my personal and business SIM cards quite often, and I have the data connection disabled on the business card, while on personal I have a data plan, so I want to be always-online.
I disabled aGPS and now i dont get the warning as much. (remember, i disabled GPRS from att side).
when i start my phone, i get 1 warning (i used to get 3?)
maybe i'm on the right track...
But the point is not to disable features so they don't auto-connect to the Internet.
The point is for the OS to try to onnect automatically, but when it failes - it doesn't have to scream that to your face every 5 minutes.
I'm bumping this thread cause I did the same thing and want to know how to disable the message as well.
still no answer to this
Translating from Dutch, so bear with me:
Go to Personal > phone > network settings and put the band on GSM.
Note that you won't be able to use the 3G + H data connections then.
my father has the same problem on his Diamond, need help!
bump, i have the same problem as well
any solutions?
i have a solution.
download > install > and run NOGPRS.cab aka No Data. that will shut it up. i just had the same problem and i did that and now i havnt gotten any... i think i might get like one if i turn the phone on and off and what not, but other then that its fine.
Solution to GPRS warning message
Go to settings > Connections > Connections > advanced > select networks >
now check both options to 'my work network'
click ok
and reboot
the irritating message will go away.
until you again reinstall the sim into your phone and it will automatically reconfigure the settings.
Just repeat the above process.
solution
1. Tap Start.
2. Tap Settings.
3. Tap Phone.
4. Tap the Network Tab.
5. Tap the Network Selection Drop down.
6. Tap Manual.
7. Tap the desired network.
8. Tap Ok.
Hi there!
I've some problems with my G-Nexus 5, as wroten in title,
the Wi-Fi and the 3g connection disconnects me during utilizing it,
if i look on the icons of wi-fi or 3g i can see that i'm not receiving any data and i cant continue to surf in web or by enjoying a game online.
So the question is its a hardware or a software problem, and if another one had the same problem.
So noone had this issue?
Sounds like hardware if this happens both to 3G and WIFI.
How do you fix it? Toggle Wifi? Airplane mode? Restart phone?
After a bit it begins to surf something like 5-10 seconds
I get the same problem on my 3G, it doesn't happen while I'm on WiFi. I have to disable/enable data or airplane mode on/off to get this working again. Also I have noticed that when signal changes from 3G to EDGE and then back to 3G I don't have data working. Need to to the same trick to have that back. It's annoying and you don't know when it working or not unless you check your phone....and lose notification from Facebook Messenger or Whatsapp which i use a lot.
I wrote to google lets see what do they say....
I got realy bored about thia issue.
I would verify that your apn settings are correct. Either call your carrier or maybe google your ("carrier name" apn settings). Also... Settings/Wireless & networks/More/Mobile networks/Preferred network type, is correct. I do know that in my case as far as wifi I get better results (quicker to connect) if the "Advanced " settings for "WiFi frequency band" is set to 2.4 GHz only. Default is Auto. Worth a shot.

Hello guys
I have brought you the solution for this problem
this happens in new devices like note 3. S3 neo. Note 4 etc (those i have experienced it with)
There are two solutions to this problem
1. Manual way:
You should sign in to wifi network ... Once connected go to settings . wifi. Long press on the connected network. Choose modify network.. Show advanced settings ... And put any number in the boxes then turn off wifi and turn on again voila you are connected normaly but you should remove the proxy settings you entered so you dont have internet issue
2. Automatic way:
You should install orbot app on your device
when its installed in each time you want to connect to wifi you should open orbot and keep it activated
when its activated you can connect with no problems
Ps: when you open orbot theres a box -apps-
if you tick it you will have proxy applied to all your apps
Hope this was helpful...
enjoy ?
