Question about connections. - General Questions and Answers

Ok, my operator uses 2 different connection, one for data, and another for MMS. The problem is that when I receive new MMS, my device connects the data connection, and the MMS can't be downloaded through it. How can I configure my device to use the MMS connection for new MMS, and the other one for everything else.

i dont think it possible as this is set by the operator so you can be priced correctly

Actually this is quite common, my carrier also does this.
What you need to do in connections is have the data settings (for internet use etc) in the My ISP part and the MMS settings in the My Work Network section.
Then click advanced tab in connections. Ensure in the "programs that automatically connect to the internet.... says My ISP" and in the "programs that automatically connect to a private network...... says My Work Network".
This should work and does indeed work on both my devices.

I'll give it a try.
And yes, it's made to be taxed correctly, I have to be taxed for data connection, but not, when I'm receiving a MMS .

Qtek 8310 WiFi problems

Hi all, I am new here and to smart phones, did the "cc" tweak for the volume, worked great, I now have a wifi issue, i have signal, the phone see's the signal, but when i launch IE it say's "your internet comm is not config properly. Please verify your settings in data connection" I have looked at things and cannot find anything that loks wrong. I find connections but not data connections. If anyone can help.. I am deployed in Iraq and have very little access to any kind of help...Thanks-- ps..feel free to use email
It may be that internet explorer is set up to only use WAP and therefore not able to get a connection. In your IE options, make sure it says Internet or Work depending on how you set your wifi up.
Stay safe.

Email uses Data connection and not Wifi

Hi,
Ive setup my Hotmail account using Outlook but it uses a data connection to send/recieve emails, I want it to use the Wifi only as I dont have a data plan.
I cant seem to find a setting anywhere to make it use wifi only. When I click send/recieve my phone automatically makes a data connection :-(
You need to enter Comm Mgr. first, and press Data Connection (not OFF/ON )to enter Set up. press Advanced, then press Select Networks.
Well ,what I going to say is the point. If you don't hava a data plan now, you can choose the two selction with 'My work Network' . Now try again, see if you can use WIFI to send/receive the Email.
When you hava a data plan ,you can switch the first one(Programs automatically connect to the Internet) with 'My ISP'. And when you turn off WIFI, raphael will use the ISP network to send/receive Email automatically.

Sudden Network connection problem

Suddenly, I cannot to access functions that require connection to a network.
For example, Bing will not update categories or collections.
Windows update will not connect to the network.
It suggested I check my time and date? ...which are correct.
I can access internet, send and receive email and sms, check and update weather.
Just many things that require network connections do not work.
I'm not sure when this started. I don't remember changing any network settings.
I use T-Mobile in USA
Any ideas what i am missing?

Are you using a proxy?
Are you on the t-zones package? Maybe they are now blocking https (or SSL)?
DJG,
Good questions. When I first got my TP and put sim in, it did automatic setup to T-Mobile settings. I am on unlimited data plan. When checking settings recently, I noticed the APN was set to the WAP.voicestream.com, instead of internet2.voicestream.com. I changed that. I also noticed that This network uses a proxy server was checked, with no proxy name in the box. I tried checking then unchecking this and using it. No difference. Then I tried checking it and adding getmorespeed.voicestream.com. It seems like web browsing is a bit faster (maybe), but this didn't fix the other network access problems.
Could this be a T-Mobile problem, or a problem with my account at T-Mobile?
Do they need to reset anything?

Block Data but allow MMS?

I have ROM listed in sig.
I do not have a data plan, and am currently on a prepaid plan with AT&T and trying to avoid extra costs. I am using DisableData to disable both "AT&T ISP GPRS" and "Media Net".
When I disable media net, I am unable to send or receive MMS messages. So usually I have been enabling media net if I get an MMS message and disabling it again when message is done.
If I forget to turn it off, then I catch my phone connecting to edge or 3g (depending on whats available) and charging me data.
Just is a major PITA. Is there anywhere I can get MMS to pass through but disable all other data connections?
Thanks,
Shaun
Is the MediaNet connection actually incurring a charge? The other appears to be for GPRS. Sorry I have no knowledge of AT&T. My T-Mobile MMS connection is seperate fron the GPRS connection so disabling data allows MMS to function fine. It's strange that both your connections are used for GPRS.
Hello,
Have you tried disabling all data connection except MMS in TouchPro Tweak? In your ROM that should be in Tools | Tweaks | TouchPro Tweak. Find entry "Data (GPRS/EDGE/HSDPA).
Hope it works for you.
So I just got off the phone with AT&T and found out that you must have media net enabled to have MMS come through, and there is no way to block all data excpet MMS. So I guess I will just have to keep doing what I have been doing.

o2 network connection problem...

Anyone noticed that o2 has changed their network setup?
I'm a regular ROM flasher and when i start the connection it used to connect to "O2 UK" but now it gives you the option of "O2 postpay" & "O2 prepay".
(I choose the postpay option)
The problem I have is with my MMS server now that i have to choose postpay or prepay...
When connecting using the old connection MMS wouldn't connect to wap for anything other than MMS, but now it will connect for anything (i.e. email, weather, opera/IE, etc)
Does anyone know how to make my MMS server to only allow MMS to use it for connection? (I'll be using Mobile internet connection for other connections)
(Already using 'Data Connection' program to turn it off when not needed but what a hassle!)
