Wi-Fi vs. GPRS/3G

I´m new to this xda-world and got my first HTC Touch Cruise.
Is it possible to set preferred connection when going online? Is there a setting that tells the phone to use Wi-Fi when possible, and just use GPRS when no other connection is availible.

That works as standard. If it detects a wifi connection it will always use that first, and only use GPRS/3G/HSDPA if the wifi connection is off.

really?
Hi,
My TC seems to use 3G connection (as seen through Spb GPRS Monitor) although I am connected via WIFI. How can I avoid that so as to use 3G only for phone, or when I am out of wifi for data?
Cheers,
Thomas

Internet Sharing - Wifi router to Touch Bluetooth to Artemis u

Hi Folks,
i am trying to get internet to my Artemis ( Tmobile version without wifi ). My Tmobile touch has internet access via wifi. I was thinking to start internet sharing using bluetooth to the artemis, but I cannot find any internet sharing in it. Do you guys have any ideas how to proceed ?
Thanks for any input.
Vladimir

internet sharing on WM doesn't support sharing wifi to bluetooth connections, unfortunately. the best alternative, if you can at all use it, will be found in www.wmwifirouter.com

Thanks for your input. I was wondering if the windows mobiles 6 are not same. I have upgraded HTC artemis ( without wifi ) to 6.0. It has the internet sharing icon ( and bluetooth pan ). However, the newer htc touch ( t-mobile ) also with win 6.0 does not have that. Is the touch is incapable of such thing? It has the bluetooth too.

it's all about having the internet sharing application installed or cooked into the rom you're using.
btw, your artemis, touch, or any other device, even having the internet sharing app, can only use bluetooth to supply a connection rather than use a connection.

you can follow this thread to have the internet sharing app on your touch as well.

Use Nokia internet on HTC TOUCH CRUISE

Hi Friends,
Problem 1-
i have Nokia E56 with internet enabled. now is there anyway that i can use that internet in my HTC Touch Cruise via bluetooth.
Problem 2
i have HTC touch cruise with internet enabled, i share it with internet sharing through bluetooth pan, so can i use this inetrnet via bluetooth on nokia or any other phone i mean i want to make network between phones so i can use one internet connection in two phones.

easy to solve can the nokia use wifi? if so then have a look for HTC Wifi sharing was 'released' recently
or use wmwifirouter which does allow for internet streaming over bluetooth if i remember correctly
You know also i do believe that google could have found the answer...
Then again does the nokia pick up bluetooth pan area networks?? That will be a BIG reason why this wouldnt work

[Q] Bluetooth DUN CLIENT?

Hello,
I have a nook color and a "dumbphone" (samsung s5600) which has 3G and bluetooth, but no wifi. On my ipod touch, i use an app called iBluever to share my phone's 3g connection over bleutooth to my ipod touch.
I've searched and searched, but couldn't find an android app to do that. There is one PDAnet, but your phone has to be an android phone too, in order to work because you can't enter APN info in the client app.
Does someone know an app to let me share my dumbphone's 3G connection over bluetooth to my android tablet?

Not sure if your phone can create the PAN socket needed, but if so...

I think my phone supports PAN, so this should be perfect!
But i can't download it from the market. It gives me a download error every time it try. Can someone provide a link to an apk?

Solved the problem and installed the app.
But how do you setup a PAN network? Is there a J2ME app for thatN

[Q] Full Bluetooth DUN support?

Hi,
I'm currently running a stock Desire S and whilst I'm generally very happy with it there's one glaring omission - Bluetooth DUN tethering. I want to use my phone with the Mercedes Comand Online system, which uses Bluetooth DUN to connect to the internet. The default answer seems to be to use PdaNet, but I have tried the latest version 3.02 and it doesn't work. I know PdaNet works in as much as I can connect my laptop over DUN, but it won't connect through the car. I did wonder if it was because my phone is set up to use a proxy server on its connection but there's nowhere to enter this in the car - having said that, though, I did no configuration on my laptop and it just worked. I emailed June Fabrics who say they will try to support this in some future release, but in the mean time is there any other option?
Cheers,
Tim

Hi,
I'm new to this forum, but was looking all over the place to check how to get full bluetooth support with the DUN profile on my stock HTC Desire S.
Like tj80, I'm also keen to connect my Desire to my car (Toyota with the new Touch&Go system, which has DUN/PAN support).
Any ideas are welcome

I have the exact same issue with my merc as well. pdanet just doesn't work.
I don't really want to use a blackberry

I emailed JuneFabrics about PDA Net and also MobileStream about Easy Tether - both said they "might" implement full DUN but it's not a priority. I really don't understand why nobody thinks it's important given that it's the standard way of connecting mobile phones to other devices for data - TomToms for live traffic, lots of car manufacturers, etc, there was even an article on the BBC website today about how connected cars were the next big thing!
Cheers,
Tim

Download BlueDUN Trial app from Google Play, it works fine for Mercedes Benz Comand OnLine and also for Toyota Touch&Go (from version 1.12 )
New version was tested for Tom Tom Rider too

Thanks MikiBest. You made my day! Glad I could be of help
