Probably a silly question, but here goes. Is there any way of stopping wifi from finding new networks? I only really want to connect to my wifi network at home (which it does automatically) but it keeps giving me popups with new networks to connect to. I tried selecting 'don't show this message again' but it makes no difference, the same networks keep on popping up.
Am I missing something?
Start > Settings > Personal > Sounds and notifications (i think, got the norwegian rom so not sure) > Notifications > Choose "New wireless network discovered" (or something like that) from the list, and uncheck "show message on screen".
should do the trick.
it's there but it's unchecked on my pda and it still does it

In the Settings > Phone > Services > Network Service pane, I changed my Preferred network to "Home only" because I live close to the US and don't want my phone switching to an american tower without my knowledge.
Because I did that, whenever I power on my phone or do a Soft Reset, there is a "Network Status" notification message that just says "Home Only"
How do I get rid of this annoying message?
LoL, sorry to bump an old thread, but I used the SEARCH function for this same problem I'm experiencing and this thread came up
Here's the fix! Found it myself
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.
.. So every time I reboot it wants to take me to the connection settings (I've already set up my GPRS/3G and it works fine), and the phone always thinks I'm roaming.
Also, according to my providers webpage (It's Simyo in Spain) they keep sending me config SMS's but they don't seem to be received.
Can anyone help? Thanks
By the way I have Googled this and found lots of references to the connection wizard but I can't find it. If I go to settings -> connections -> connections, then I just get "Simyo" with 'add connection' and 'manage connections' below it, and a similar set of links for 'my work connection'
Never mind, I found the connection setup, it just wasn't showing in the settings menu of Bell UI.
Sorry, I'll mark this solved now.
[edit: Oh I can't change the thread title...]
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"

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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)
I've tried every 3.6 rom out there on my evo3d, with full wipes, and on none of them can I find where to find/login to wireless networks. I can connect to them fine during the phone setup process, but I can't find the settings to connect to new ones later. I feel like I must be missing something stupid.
What headings do you have in the Settings menu? There should be a "Wireless & Networks" heading, with an item called "WiFi" (next to it will be the "ON" "OFF" switch).
Assuming you have all of that, press the switch to turn on WiFi if it's turned off. Then press on the word "WiFi" (not the switch). This should bring up your list of available networks.
