xda atom wifi setup?

how do you setup or use the wifi of the xda atom? after connecting using wifi, when i open the internet explorer, my gprs automatically opens. why is this? how do i set it up that when i have a choice between gprs and wifi, i can click one and not worry about cutting off the other one? Am able to switch between gprs and wifi.
Thank you! newbie here.

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

Live Messenger

Hi guys,
Normally, I rely on WiFi networks to browse the internet on my devices.
Ever since I got my Touch PRO, been using alot of data connection (You Tube and the browsing is just very good)
Problem is, Live messenger doesn't seem to connect via data connection.
I have to be connected via WiFi..
Any workaround for that or has it been like that all this time?

Mine works on data connection

Ahuh, so I guess it's just the coverage then
Thanks for sharing

I don't have 3G fyi. but it works fine on 2G.

I seem to be having the same problem too recently - even when I have full coverage.
data connection and internet works fine, but I still can't manage to connect to live messenger.
I am in the UK and on three by the way.

Ahuh, so I guess it might be temporary

Some networks, T-Mobile for example, will block the ports required for IM on some packages. If you've only ever had it working via WIFI you should check this isn't your problem.

I guess there is some proxy setting that may solve your issue:

funny how i can't connect via wifi and u can't connect via ur network.. fun times!

I had a similar problem before, I connected once using WiFi and the next time I tried to connect using HSDPA it just won't recognize it. I fixed the problem by syncronizing using "Windows Live" while using HSDPA. Then Messenger worked.
But I have to say messenger has been acting weird lately, even on a PC. I think it has something to do with their servers.

In my house there is bad 3G coverage. Phone keeps flopping between G and 3G. Very annoying because MSN won't make use of my WiFi connection. Opera does seem to do that though.

fring has ability to work with msn, but I hate fring ...have you tried mChat? it's good alternative, msn is in beta testing, but it works for me..

[Q]: Opera slow on non-wifi connections?

hi everybody!
i've got a strange problem with opera (both 9.7 and 10 beta): using a non-wifi connection, the loading of pages is slow as hell, no matter if edge, hsdpa or 3g is being used. using wifi with my broadband connection at home doen't seem to be a problem, though.
using mobile ie on non-wifi connection is ok.
do you have any suggestions what might cause this problem with opera? possible solutions? thanky you all

I'd like to know as well. I'm having the same issue although it doesn't seem to be a problem with Opera mini 5.

I don't understand...you are basically using your Blackberry/laptop configuration to make a mobile hotspot, right? If the Xoom can access the wifi signal for one app it should be able to for any app. Maybe I'm missing something. Can you give more explanation?

I connected my blackberry bold which has 3g to my laptop which broadcasts the connection via wifi. The chrome browser and android market and other goodies apps connect but installed apps don't connect. Plus I recently bought a huawei e5 mobile 3g wireless router. I got my xoom connected to the network but right now only the browser goes online,. The other apps just do not. I don't know what other piece of detail I can give other than the fact that my Xoom wifi is not connecting to 3g networks broadcast via wifi. Any ideas?

This is really very strange... I switched my 3G-Xoom into flight mode and then activated WiFi (so it basically behaves like a WiFi-only Version) and connected it to my mobile (Samsung Galaxy S) and all apps are able to access the internet. Connecting ist to a UMTS-Router (Option GlobeSurf) also worked like a charm...
Did you try to connect your Xoom to a WiFi-Router at home (= Internet access via cable not UMTS)? Does this work or do you encounter the same probs?
