Just upgraded to o2 wm6.1. Previously on wm 6 if I started the wifi it would connect automatically, but now I have to go into the connections setting and select it manually. Any advise greatly received !

I have a wizard (MDA 2.25 custom ROM)
I rarely use 802.11(x) on my MDA but when I tried last night it connects to my WAP ok and gets an IP, however if I launch MSN IM or IE or any network aware app, it will attempt to connect with GPRS/EDGE. Even if I turn off the phone and leave Wifi on, it will still attempt to connect to TMobile and not use the WiFi at all.
I'll connect to a Wireless access point fine, just the apps when you launch them will attempt to connect to TMobile GPRS. The apps should go "oh, I am connected to a WiFi connection, I should use that instead since it's available"
I want the device to prefer WiFi for data connection when I have it on.
Can't figure this out. It used to work
Apologies if this is in the wrong area. I have spent alot of time researching this issue and im yet to find a resolution. I am working in area with a strict SOE on the dekstop PC. I have an O2 XDA Atom. with activesync 4.5 I am using GPRS to connect to the internet on my o2 this is working fine. however the problem occurs when i dock the O2 into its cradle. the GPRS connection will cut and i wont be able to reconnect it. I have changed the properties of activesync and my O2 between 'my work' and 'the internet' to no joy. I realise i can do this by turning off accept usb connections in activesync but then i cannot control my O2 with the software installed on my machine..
what i want to be able to do is run MSN on my O2 continually all day and be able to view the screen from my desktop along with it syncing my calendar etc. if there is any articles which can help me that would be good ive been trying to resolve this for some time now to no avail.
Thankyou in advance
in connections in settings you change which connection programs use
My treo 750 with wm6 and activesync 4.5 loads bluetooth adaptor dlink dbt122 and connects through activesync.But then disconnects in 10 seconds.
Any suggestions? I have uninstalled/reinstalled etc etc.
Hi, go Start>Settings>Connection tab>USB to PC and check or uncheck "Enable advanced network functionality" and try to connect again.

I just restart the phone whenever its gets disconnected often and then things are fine
I have treo 750v, WM6.
I have done the procedure below:
1. Pairing my device with the laptop via Bluetooth.
2. On my Treo, clicked start > internet connection sharing > chosing bluetooth pan > click connect.
3. Device told me to activate Bluetooth on my PC. then I activated my Bluetooth PAN on my laptop. (I'm having BlueSoleil bluetooth manager installed on my laptop).
4. Treo said "Connected". My BlueSoleil manager said connected with an animation showing a link between my device and laptop icons. It even showed some message of its assigned IP address, etc.
But, i can not connect to internet on my laptop. I did ping to google, it said "Request time out".
Very weird, because when I choose USB Cable to do internet connection sharing, the connection is working seamlessly, i can connect to internet, good ping to google or any other sites, but not with BT PAN.
Please advice what to check, what to do, etc.. thanks

How about using the Windows' bluetooth manager?
My bluetooth places -> entire bluetooth neighborhood -> right click on your device name -> connect Network Access Point
I use this method every time and it always works.

I tried it just now as you suggested. it then says network connected. but then i cant connect to the internet from my laptop. so i back to using the USB cable, and it works flawlessly.
i wonder where's the missing key???
Two things:
1. With the Windows bluetooth, once the devices are paired and a connection is established (Internet Sharing on the Treo), goto the little bluetooth icon in the systray and right-click on it. Click on the "Quick Connect" menu and select "Network Access". Once you have clicked on "Network Access" you should see your phone listed (my 750 shows as the name I entered for "Owner Information"). Select your phone and that should do it. These steps are similar to the ones I use for my Macbook as well.
2. Regarding BlueSoleil Manager: when I lasted used it I remember having to set up the serial ports manually so they could be used for communication between the desktop and the phone. I haven't used the BlueSoleil since I had a Treo 650, but I still have the software. I'll load it up and see if I can't help you with your problem.

So I got to work and loaded up BlueSoleil on a system running MS Server 2003 SP2. The bluetooth dongle I'm using is a TRENDnet TBW-101UB V2 with BlueSoleil version 1.4.9.2 build 041108, stack version 04.03.15.20041105.
I paired my stock AT&T Treo 750 to the machine. Started "Internet Sharing" on the Treo making sure to select bluetooth pan and the AT&T network Once this was done I right-clicked on my phone icon in the BlueSoleil Manager and select "Connect." The I choose the "Bluetooth Personal Area Networking Service" and open a web browser to test... so far its worked every time.
Some notes:
1. The internet sharing on the treo isn't instant, give 20 seconds or so to fully connect.
2. The BlueSoleil manager connects even slower... give it 30 seconds.
3. Try repairing the phone.
4. If using the BlueSoleil software, disable the windows bluetooth as the MAY be a conflict there. Basically use one or the other.
I'm not sure if any of this is going to help, but I hope it puts you on the right track.

Dear users,
I'm having trouble setting up 'Internet Sharing'.
Device informatie:
Wizard G3, T-Mobile NL, WM6 NL.
As all other programs work with my GPRS connection, Internet sharing won't connect. When I click 'connect' @ internet sharing, A balloon pops up to tell it cannot connect for unknown reason.
I had this problem with some other ROM's I tried, however, T-mobile WM5 (original) works...
Bytheway; I'm using Windows7 (won't work at XP too, already tried that) =)
Thanks for helping me out!
-- Edit --
Could'nt find anything on the net, getting full backup of my device now and trying Wm5 again within 60 minutes =)
-- > WORKED <--
@ WM5
Why not at WM6?
Which ROM do you have on your Wizard?
I have Xions WM6.1 ROM Build 20273 and I have the same problem. If I tell "Internet Sharing" to make a GPRS connection it fails. Any other program can make a GPRS connection.
Is this a Build 20273 specific problem or can it be fixed? Xions ROM is a kitchen ROM so changes can be done.
No mine is connected to GPRS but cannot connect due to a unknown error.
To solve your problem:
Settings -> Connections -> Manage existing (the gprs connection e.g. T-mobile Internet) -> Dropdown and select 'Connect'
Try again to use ICS
It does not matter if a GPRS connection is established or not. When I start "Internet Sharing" the status is alwyas disconnected. When I tell him to connect I get a bubblehelp that a connection cannot be established.
I tried it with no GPRS connection and I tried it with an established GPRS connection (discribed in your last posting). Always status: disconected!
I already build a vanaílla ROM to be sure that it is not an other software that makes the trouble.
