WM6 and network time - can it be disabled?

Gday all,
I've recently moved over from old nokia to a new windows mobile device (Samsung i620 if it matters). Every time I power cycle the phone, turn the radio off or go out of coverage the clock is automatically set one hour slow, and doesn't even alert me or prompt before doing so.
My laptop, desktop and exchange server all sync the time correctly. All devices are set to the correct locale, time zone and DST settings.
Does ANYONE know how to disable this sync with network 'feature' in WM6? I've found plenty of places that explain how to do so in WM5, but none for WM6. Surely there'll be a registry flag for this?
Many thanks for any helpful suggestions,
Alex

I'm pretty certain I have checked every possible setting that can be configured from the UI, hence my wondering about a possible registry key?

Is no-one else seeing this problem?

Wi-Fi Popups and Notifications Won't Stop

Hi,
I've got both a Fuze and a Diamond on AT&T, and both have the same problem. If WiFi is enabled, I get a constant stream of annoying popups and audible alerts as I drive down the street, letting me know about every Wi-Fi AP on my route, as if I cared. This is very annoying and I've struggled to make it stop.
I have gone into Settings, Sounds and Notifications, and disabled Wireless Network Notification MANY times. That works...until I reset. And the setting changes back on me!!! I reset every couple of days to keep the OS working smoothly, and so this @#[email protected] notification setting gets activated every time.
Please let me know if anyone else is having this problem, OR if you are NOT having this problem even with Wi-Fi on and moving around an urban area.
Please, tell me if there is a solution or registry hack. But please don't tell me to turn off Wi-Fi. Disabling a huge feature of the device isn't a solution. That's like a doctor cutting off my leg because of a sprained ankle.
FYI, the Diamond is stock HTC with tweaks from DiamonTweak, Advanced Config, and Diamond TF3D Config. The Fuze is running NATFs ROM with the same tweak tools.
Thanks.

I've had a similar problem. Have you tried going to: Settings > Connections (tab) > WiFi > Click on Menu > Advanced > Untick "Turn on available network notification" > Save ??

I had the same problem where the setting wouldn't stick on reset. I just wrote a one line MortScript that disables the wifi notification registry setting that runs when phone boots.

Please Share
Please share the how to.
I'm not familiar with MortScript, but have you got a file or a method you can share here?

I had not tried that. But the box was checked. I have now unchecked it and performed a reset, and as before, the wifi notifications returned. Good idea, but no fix.

Go to http://www.sto-helit.de/index.php?module=page&entry=ms_overview&action=view&menu=29
Download and install MortScript 4.1.
Using notepad or similar text editor, create a file containing the following line:
RegWriteDWord( "HKCU", "ControlPanel\Notifications\{DDBD3B44-80B0-4b24-9DC4-839FEA6E559E}", "Options", 0);
Save the file with an extension of .mscr (e.x. "DisableWiFiNotification.mscr").
Copy the file to your phone.
Finally create a shortcut to the file into the \\Windows\StartUp folder of your phone.

thanks
Great, thanks for the help ICWinner.

Similar to the problem above, I keep bluetooth on all the time and for some reason, the phone constantly has a notification which just says "Bluetooth is on". Does anyone know what the registry key is to disable this one? Or if there is a setting somewhere I am missing?

This May Be A Fix
Hi, I'm the OP, and it looks like I found a fix in another thread.

Stop WinMobile establishing data-connections without asking

Hey mates!
First of all I wanna wish you a hapy new year
Ok, now to my question.
I've got a HTC Touch HD a week ago.
I recognized that it establishes a data-connection without asking me.
When i'm using Wifi - no problem.
But as I don't have a data-flat that gets quite expensive, if I can't use Wifi (most of the time no wifi available).
Is it possible to set up Winmobile so that it asks me BEFORE establishing an data connection?
I didn't find any solutions, google didn't help me, too.
Of yourse I could just change the adresses in the settings.
e.g- "internet.t-mobile.de" to "internet.t-mobile.deXXX" ---> no connection possible.
But i want to receive and send MMS at any time, so that would not be possible any more.
I hope you can help me, thx.

try nodata
this should do what you need....i think
http://www.modaco.com/content/pocket-pc-software/246171/new-free-utility-nodata/

thx, but not really what i need.
With this programm i still have to close connections by hand.
I just want WinMobile to ask me BEFORE it establishes a connection.
For example: When I open an programm which tries to download something, a popup should appear
--->
Establish data-connection?
[ ]Yes
[ ] NO
I hope u understand my problem

No one with the same problem here and a solutuon?

I have the same problem with my Touch 3G (Jade). Turning the Data Connection off in the Main Touchflow settings tab helps but doesn't stop it completely. The worst thing is that doesn't seem to download anything but just connecting is enough to start costing.

I spoke to HTC today and they gave me a solution to this problem. Go to Settings, Connections, Connections, Advanced and then Select Networks. There you should find a drop down tab with something like ******GPRS, where ****** is your network. Now now choose New and create a new connection name like "No GPRS" for example. Click OK.
You now have a title but no settings so when you select this one, the phone can't connect to the internet. It might attempt to connect but it won't go through. Don't worry about MMS as this uses a different set of settings and works perfectly (for me).
Hope this helps, Woolly.

Find what apps are creating the connection so you can prevent it. Spb Monitor should be able to show you that.

Using Modaco NoData (link given above) will just do the same saving your time (you don't have to create a fake connection set).
What schlitzohr1812 wants is a way to make WM ask for permission to connect. I haven't heard of anything like this, but if you assign a shortcut to NoData it's almost as easy as what you are looking for. By the way, despite the name, NoData will prevent WM from opening connections, not only to exchange data over them.
Just remember that if you disable the connection while it is already open, you still have to close it manually. Also beware that if in your Comm Manager you have an enabled "Data connection" button (on some phones it's always disabled when the connection is closed, on others it can be used to open it), that button WILL open a connection even if they are disabled.

Thx for helping guys, but "Black Antitoon" is right.
That's not exactly what I was searching for but better than nothing.
I'm used to my old nokia phone (N70) which asked me before.
Incomprehensible why Windows Mobile does not have such an option...

anybody wrote an app for this data permission yet please?

Enable Bluetooth DUN on Sprint Touch Pro2!

This took me a while, but I finally figured it out through trial and error. I know there are a few options out there for tethering, but this has always been the preferred way to tether when I was using the Diamond. It's wireless, you can initiate the connection from the PC, and it gives you better battery life than WMWiFiRouter or HTC Wifi Sharing. Best of all, you DO NOT need to initiate a DATA connection on the phone before connecting to your PC! Just fire up the BT DUN connection on your PC, click Dial, then browse the web!
Here's how we do this:
Install DotFred's TaskManager
Click select Menu, Tab Options, Select Tab, Services. Find "CM Guardian", click and hold until menu pop up and select "Set Manual".
Make the following changes on your TP2 with a Registry editor:
1. [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\InternetSharing]
Extension="" Delete the "isext.dll"
2. [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\InternetSharing\settings]
ForceCellConnection="Sprint"
3. [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\OEM\Wmodem]
Check Profile=0
Connected=0
Multi-NAI=0
WModemDUN=0
4. [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\WIDCOMM\Plugin\DUNServ er\ControlPanel]
Enabled=1
That's it! Re-pair your TP2 to your PC and BT DUN should be available as one of the services. Create a new DUN profile on your PC, leave username and password blank, and set dial number as #777. Click dial and you should be able to connect... just like old times.

Thank you so much for posting this. I have been ripping my hair out over this. However, I am on Verizon and thus my HTC Touch Pro2 has somewhat different entries in the registry than Sprint does. Does anyone know how to get DUN working with the HTC Touch Pro2 on Verizon? I bought a laptop specifically with Bluetooth just to use my phone as the modem but cannot get it working for my life.
After I did all the registry edits I could that you mentioned (even though all of them were not available since I'm on a different provider) I noticed when I try to dial out for a SPLIT second I will see "Dial Up Networking" listed under Bluetooth services. Windows promptly gives me a dialing error and that service on my phone disappears.
Anyone can give any pointers?

I don't have a Service called "CM Guardian". I have a custom ROM, would that make a difference?

Yes, some Rom chefs may have eliminated this service. I know MightyMike left it in his Rom, but I have not tested others on the TP2.
KD8FRE

Would this service be in WM6.5? If I download MightyMike's ROM would it be in there or is it only in WM6.1?

Thanks for this.

MightyMike's Rom does indeed have CMGaurdian. I cannot speak for other TP2 Roms, but his does.
KD8FRE

Can anyone give any pointers on getting this to work on the Verizon version of the phone? Been searching high and low!

There is no "CMGaurdian" on my phone. I did a full search for it and it's nowhere to be found. I have the stock Windows Mobile 6.5 rom. But it looks like without being able to set that as manual, I have to change the registry everytime I end up having to restart my phone. But even when I do that, it still goes back to phone as modem after a few minutes instead of staying on Sprint.

Awesome!
Thanks for the info. The connection sharing wasn't working for me anyway.
Just an FYI, you can optionally edit the registery to set the CMGuardian to Manual.
Open a reg editor and navigate to [HKLM\Services\CMGuardian]
Locate the Index key and change the value from 2 (default) to 1.

So anyone on Sprint TP2 with 6.5 stock rom actually got Wmodem to work? I've spent about 24 hr trying just about everything with no luck so far.
I made all the above reg changes, have WModem v02 installed on my TP2. Activate the wmodem prog, connect to computer with usb cable. When i try to connect on my computer, it stucked on verifying user name and pass. There is some sort of data connection going on on the phone itself, but the computer connected to the phone couldn't seem to go pass that "verifying user name and pass"
Much appreciated any help or comment. Thanks

Just wanted to add that I found this thread useful, got the registry entries and made a cab for it. This is for Sprint only! Download, install, and go, no need for registry editing!

Problem tethering via Bluetooth DUN to pspgo
Ok, I am pulling MY hair out on my ATT tilt 2. I am trying to use my fone as a bluetooth modem for my pspgo.
It seems that my Tilt 2 receives the data from the pspgo, but its not sending any data to the pspgo, when I test the connection the tilt2 receives about 9-16 bytes, but it says sent: 0 bytes.
I have energyROM july 16 2010 WWE winmo 6.5
Manilla 2.5.20161332.0
Build: 23563.5.5.0
I have seen vids of people doing this on the Raphael (FUZE) and other phones
I keep getting this connection error on my psp: (8030000B) I have tried so many dial #'s, changing settings, PDAnet,
I think the problem has something to do with:
it being WinMo 6.5 or
The custom ROM has disabled something in the Bluetooth or
Since the ROM is custom, the psp wont recognize this for some reason because just like the WIFI router; the carrier doesn't know I'm tethering. or
I have the wrong Dial-up # or
Authentication settings or Initialization command is wrong or
I need to use a Proxy network
Some other reason ( The ROMS BT stack) whatever that is lol
Does anyone have this or similar problem? Or know whats happening here?
Any help would be awesome!
Thank you

Worked Perfectly
After making the changes you suggested, this worked perfectly on my TP2. It's so funny, after I initially got my TP2 and tried it, I instantly gave up. Now that I'm a month away from going to a new carrier, and most likely a Sony Ericsson Xperia X10, I got really interested in getting this working. It was a breeze using the Resco Explorer Demo with included Registry Editor.

TP2 Stock WM6.5
Doesnt work for me. I dont have CMGuardian.
I went ahead and edited the registry anyway and still didnt work even after rebooting.
I'm hoping someone can help figure this out... Trying to tether with my new Xoom!

Thanks a lot defcon6, I was looking for this some time ago, but no look, but know, looking for some other thing i found it, thanks again

Same here, stock 6.5 rom and no CMGuardian. Did you ever figure this out?

Never mind, I did run the cab from pengc99 and it worked fine. After soft reset of the phone, it never got out of the "modem negotiating" state but running the cab again fixed it. Now if I just could find the equivalent to CMGuradian I would be all set but this is at least working.

Bluetooth setting to ALWAYS ON?
Thanks to this thread and the pengc99 file, I successfully (quite some time ago) paired my TP2 via the bluetooth to a Nexus 7 tablet as well as an android phone, but each time I turn on the phone, I have to go through the following steps:
1. Select Communication Manager
2. Turn ON the Data Connection
2. Click on Bluetooth
3. Select one of my paired devices, such as the Nexus 7 by clicking the large "+" icon
4. Select Bluetooth Networking
5. Select the "Share Internet Connection" option
6. Click Continue on the bottom
I tried various registry edit searches here and on google, but cant' find any way to lessen these steps or preferably have the Bluetooth sharing set to ON at all times. If anyone knows how to simplify this process, please post the stops or file that will help us all.
Thanks in advance

Nodata question.

Im just wondering if there is any way of making a shortcut to nodata which will deactivate/activate a specific connection?
I know that some apps have things like that built in, like the xdaShutdown that I have linked in my sig. If you make a shortcut to the .exe and add some text onto the end of it, it will do a specific function (in xdaShutdowns case, either shutdown, restart etc)
I use Nodata so often to turn on and off ONE connection so often that Its getting annoying having to open the app and then get notifications when you do things etc.
Id just love a shortcut in the start menu (which i would place into Sense)
which just enables or disables that specific connection without the hastle of going into the app and selecting it specifically.
My question is; is there any way of doing this?

The easiest thing to try may just be a mortscript that toggles the connection. Nodata basically just flips the keys from 0-1 in HKLM\Comm\ConnMgr\Providers\{xxxx}\Connections\...\enabled. I'm not sure if the guid is the same for everyone or not, and I'm also not sure if you need to soft reset or not if you do it with a mortscript (maybe nodata gets around that somehow-kind of doubt it, though). Or you could just export the key with dotfred's regedit when it's 0 and 1, and then import either one whenever you want to kill or enable the connection.

aah, right.
Thanks for the reply
erm, ive never really done anything with mortscript
I know what it is and have used it before, but never made anything myself
How might I go about making this as you suggested?

It's pretty simple. I just tested out a set, and it appears to work fine (although I don't actually have a data plan, lol). This is the basic form (I left out some of the guid-no idea if this is common to everyone or if it's hooked just to me).
Turn on voicestream:
Code:
RegWriteDWord("HKLM","\Comm\ConnMgr\Providers\{7C4BxxxxxxxB1AA}\Connections\wap.voicestream.com","enabled",1)
Turn it off:
Code:
RegWriteDWord("HKLM","\Comm\ConnMgr\Providers\{7C4BxxxxxxxB1AA}\Connections\wap.voicestream.com","enabled",0)
You need to have mortscript installed for it to run. It's pretty much instantaneous. I have 3 data streams (all of which do jack, but can mess with my wi-fi connections); just create text files for whatever you want, and change the extension to .mscr. When you click it, it will execute. I'm sure you could write a toggle script, but that's way beyond my skills, lol.

Thanks Ted, Ill try that out now

Awesome
Works brilliantly
Obviously had to change the location slightly because of having a different connection name; Mine calls it "Contract Internet" instead of "wap.voicestream.com"
Thanks
Now I have on/off buttons in my quicklinks on Touchflo 2.5 (sense)
