Hi there,
I have a question about an annoying problem that I've only managed to find one (unanswered) question to on the web.
I have an HTC Touch HD (WM6.1) which I use to read email from my Hotmail account, amongst other things. The problem is that the messaging client ALWAYS tries to download my mail via 3G/GPRS even when there's a WiFi connection available. This occurs both when I initiate the send/receive using TouchFlo 3D or from within the mail client.
Connection manager is, as far as I'm aware, configured correctly, and PIE/Opera/weather will all happily use WiFi to connect to the internet, only using my data connection when WiFi isn't available.
The same results occur with connection manager configured in either of the following ways:
Internet Connection = "My ISP" settings with 3G modem connection
Work Connection = Default "My Work Network" settings
WiFi Access Point = Connects to Internet
Network Card = Connects to Internet
OR
Internet Connection = "My Work Network" with 3G modem connection and "This network connects to the internet" enabled
Work Connection = As Internet Connection
WiFi Access Point = Connects to Work
Network Card = Connects to Work
Interestingly, if I disable my data connection and enable WiFi I CAN send/receive mail over the WiFi connection, so it seems like the data connection is being used in preference to the WiFi one.
Is this a known issue or am I doing something wrong?!
Thanks,
Mike
What´s the version of your ROM?
Is the device labeld by Vodafone?
There is an option when setting up the email account in pocket outlook to select the preferred connection for the account. It is in one of the advanced options pages when setting up the account. Normally it is setup for THE INTERNET so your WiFi adapter should point to the same.
Now, I use a little Mortscript to switch-on the WiFi and immediately change my Network Selection to NO DATA, which is just an empty setting (no internet connection). This effectively shutdowns the GPRS / 3G connection and pocket outlook has to use the WiFi route.

REMEBER I HAVE PHONE POCKET PC 2002.
THANKS FOR YOUR HELP, I´VE BEEN A WHILE AROUND THIS.
Set the passthrough connection to "The Internet"
Worked for me.
settings->Connections->Connections->Advanced->Select Networks
it says
Programs that automatic... connect to the internet should connect using
and there is a dropdown box
Hi all - i have my xda mini s setup to connect to the internet and collect my exchange emails all works fine.
i use it at work + at home a lot and both locations have a wifi broadband network.
i would like my xda mini s to only connect to GPRS for web browsing and emails when a stored wifi network is not in range (eg when im on the road)
Is it possible to enter in this preference anywhere? thanks in advance for any help
Actually, as far as PIE or any program that connects to the internet is concerned WiFi takes precedence over GPRS by default.
The problem is MS push mail. It forces GPRS even if WiFi is connected. If you try to serf to a graphics heavy site wile connected to both GPRS and WiFi you will see the speed difference.
I am not sure what the logic behind this MS stupidity is, and unfortunately I don't know of any cure except deleting the GPRS settings.
hi - and thanks.
damn.
well i did have a qucik test i went on the web and it seemed to be connecting to gprs (while i was already connected to a wifi network)
i will have a play.
There's one other thing I forgo to mention:
When connection to WiFi make sure you select the correct value under "This network connects to".
I assume your GPRS settings are under My ISP and that is what's selected in Settings->Connections->Connections->Advanced->Network selection.
You should then select "The internet" for the WiFi network.
Is thare a way to config the weather and mail sincornization depending form the connections?
ex: if the pda is connected to internet via WiFi than check automatically Email every 10 min and downaload weatehr data every hour.
if non wifi do not check autamatically
this because I havn't a flat internet connection trough umts or gprs and when I'm in office or at home I got a wifi connection
Okay for some weird reason, I have trouble opening PIE, and Opera. Iam able to connect to my router, and it does show the connected wifi icon on top.
-I have indeed disabled proxy.
-I have made Wifi slider to high performance.
-My router is set to b/g not n, and is set to Auto(WPA or WPA2), TKIP andAES.
-I also made my htc networkcard connect to internet, and set all adaptors to
server assigned.
-Oh yeah I also have disabled the router network passkey, but still could
get the same PIE error.
I spent alot of time trying to find the answer for this but nothing seems to work. If anyone has a remedy, or any suggestions please post..
settings->connections->connections->advanced->select network
is it set to my home network or whatever wifi connection and not isp connection
is called on your device?
What do u mean by home network or wifi network? The only options are medianet, at&t isp, my isp, and my work network.
If you mean my work network, I had it on the bottom selection where it says automatically connects to private network. The one on top says automatically connects to the Internet.
Hi, I am using a Spectec wifi card to receive mails and navigate when i'm at home, and a data gprs connection outside. Since the wi-fi connection does't appear on the connections tab, is there a simple way to switch between them?
What i am doing now, is change the "work network" (which is configured for gprs) to "my isp", which is not configured at all, get a few connection error messages, and then the phone discoveres the wifi and connects to internet. But it's rather complicated and not ellegant at all.
