Hi
I just got my first htc phone today the touch diamond it all seems very nice so far im sure i'll figure it all out soon i tried out the wi-fi but now not sure how to turn it off, it keeps popping up with new notifications of the connections available could anyone advise how to turn it off, many thanks
another question as well the 3g sign at the top just means its available doesnt it? i browsed the web briefly to see what it was like i dont want to be charged for on the net as my unlimited web browsing doesnt start for a couple of weeks, i guess when you exit the page your exited out of the internet, is that correct? many thanks
best to have a good play around with the device to learn all of what she has to offer tap start, settings connections tab then wifi then menu "turn off wifi" - press and hold the hang up button you will be provided with the option "terminate data connection".
have a look in the diamond thread lots to read and learn also check out the wiki also
hope this helps

Hey Everyone,
After picking up the tilt a few days ago, I've really started to like it. I did the hard reset to get rid of all the ATT junk, got Garmin XT, put on a new theme, used HTC Home Customizer and JiveTalk.
There is one more thing that is aggravating me and I was wondering if you guys had any sort of remedy.
My roommate has the iPhone and when his WIFI is on it simply connects to our router when in range, and disconnects and switchs to Edge when not in range. If he wants to connect to another network at someone else's house he goes to settings - wifi - and then picks their network and enters the network key. If he is out and doesn't pick one, it says in Stand-By mode.
Is there a way to make the WM6 do this? I'm constantly having the wireless manager pop-up and inform me of new wireless networks and its getting sort of aggrivating.
Thanks in advance,
Mike
Assuming you're running WM6 and not WM6.1, all you have to do is, whenever a popup notification for New Network Found pops up, you tap the right softkey, and choose "Don't Display This Message Again." You may have to do that a couple times in case it doesn't stick.
By the way, only WM6.1 actually has that option on the surface. Silly Microsoft.

Didn't know that, thanks.
Hi everyone.
This is a really nooby question, but I can't find the answer anywhere.
If I open my internet browser on my phone, it automatically connects to the internet.
When I close my browser, it stays connected.
I have to go in to Comms Manager, switch my phone in to Flight Mode and back to Phone Mode so it switches off.
What if I just left it on?
I believe GPRS is chargable by the amount of data downloaded rather than dial-up-esque paying-for-the-amount-of-time-connected.
If I left it connected, would I be charged for it despite being idle?
I am on Orange UK Dolphin contract.
no unless they charge for the "keepalive" comm to the isp
various isp's could have various takes on that
yes you will be charged if it periodically downloads data like the weather plugin in htc home. You dont state what device you have but you can actually click on the G/E/H symbol next to the radio signal on the today screen and click on the disconnect button(if it is enabled). If you havent got a disconnect button . Download and try schaps advanced config v2 and try that if that doesnt work download tweak2k2 net that has the option to switch the button option for you
I called Orange. They don't have the 'keep alive' charge. She said that it really doesn't matter, so long as nothing gets downloaded to my device then I won't get charged for it.
Weather updates and email etc. is all set to manual.
But, none-the-less I will be looking into the programs noted by Martin.
Thank you both.
P.S. I have a Hermes. I should probably put that in my signature.
Holding the end call button for a few seconds will switch it off.

I know I'm a bit late. I thought this thread would be dead and buried now, but I wanted to say thank you. This is the exact bit of info I was looking for.
Basically, im trying to find a program which will turn off
any data connections you have.
If there is, Id assign it to the send key (press & hold)
This would remove the need to open up the comms
manager then click "data connection"
Hope there is, it would make life a lot easier for me
and everyone else who uses mobile internet a lot
but doesnt want to murder their battery.
I use the internet a lot because of being on contract
and have unlimited internet usage, but if I left it connected
all the time, my Touch Pro 2 would probably only last
about a few hours. Im constantly having to open up
the communication manager and turn off my data connection
that way.
alternatively, do any programmers know how to turn off the data connection through coding? I know a bit of Visual basic and would happily make my own program for this, I just cant seem to find out how to turn it off.
Does holding the end-call button for a few seconds work? It has done on all htc models I have tried
now i feel really stupid
I knew that, I simply hadnt set it up to.
It was set to lock the phone whenever I held the end key,
so I just put it out of my mind. lol
thanks
youve made my life a lot easier
Ive now bound the Notes app to the green key ;D
Isnt it just sweet when theres a simple answer
Ill change your title to solved and close the thread
Thanks to this forum, my less-than-2months-old Verizon TP2 (Rhod500) phone has internet sharing working and some great apps, although I'm still on the stock 6.1 rom (my phone didn't come with 6.5 and the forums seem to show that Verizon's rom is not the greatest). I'm not brave enough to flash.
However, I've a couple of 'general' questions that I can't seem to solve.
1. When syncing (ActiveSync 4.5), I now have an error showing 2 unresolved files. As far as I can tell, I haven't lost any files. Is there somewhere that I can look to find the list of what is/isn't being synced? When I click on the error message, it just tries to resync and repeats the error. My old IPAQ used to allow me to see what files were unresolved but that doesn't seem to be happening here.
2. Since enabling internet sharing (Tom_Codon), my backlight dims but never completely goes dark. My Settings > All Settings > Power > Advanced has Battery - Turn off backlight if not used for 1 min selected but no sleep mode selected. I think that sleep mode was selected before the internet sharing was enabled, but I'm not sure. Is this so that the internet doesn't cut out? Should this change?
Any advice will be greatfully appreciated. (My Verizon service center people know NOTHING about the TP2 - ask them about mediaphones and they're great. And it seems like nobody has asked these questions before, or my forum search just isn't working well.)
Moving this to the CDMA sub forum.

Do the ROM upgrade! I too was afraid but so glad that I did. It fixed a lot of glitches that I had with 6.1. Then head over to the forum "Software worth installing on the TP2" and knock yourself out! Especially Cookie's Home Tabs! It's a must have. (You'll also need CHTE...Cookie's Home Tabes Editor) Look for Touch X Manila Tweaks too. (if your device uses Sense 2.5 after the ROM upgrade) It will tweak the device to speed up the Sense 2.5 user interface and cut down on the memory used too, I think.
Q1. Not that I'm aware of. But, maybe you changed a a couple of files in both the device and the sync folder located in your PC's "My Documents"?
Q2. Tom Codon's WiFi should run if you enable sleep mode. If not...well, I guess you'll have to disable it. I just know that my Sprint TP2 runs this program even after it shuts off.
I'm still a bit of a nube too but I hope I helped.
Hey,
I have a HTC Touch Diamond and i tried out today Android. It looks good, working with it is like under WM. There is one thing that makes me angry. During the installation it has established automaticly a connection to the internet. It is okay, if i want it. I found after 30 min. of search no function or setting to disable the automatic connection and that made it not really trustworthy. Any idea where i can find a Setting to deactivate that ?
Thanks for help
On android handsets you hold the power button, then it gives options to turn off phone, put into plane mode, and turn off data connection.
