If the claim would not be included in this post, I beg your pardon. I have the need 'to place in one of the shortcuts to the "Connections" tab so you can vary quickly, the data connection from one of my operator to automatic , without having to go to settings> menu> more> connections etc..
thanks

I dont have a data plan for my SP5m so my provider defaults any data access at a high "per KB" rate. Is there a way to prevent all GRPS/EDGE usage ? Ideally, I'd like to just be able to turn GPRS/EDGE "off".
the only thought I've had thus far is to use some "fake" settings so any attempt to use GPRS/EDGE would simply fail to connect.
Is there a solution or is my "fake" idea the way to go ? If I use the "fake" solution, what setting(s) do I need to change ?
I think all you have to do is delete the connection. Click the start menu then settings then connections and connections again. Then click on manage existing connections. Then take your stylus and hold it down on the connection name, for example for me it is tmobile, until a pop up box comes saying delete and connect. Tap on delete and your gprs settings are gone and you cannot connect.
If you want to keep your settings, maybe you can just create a new connection with fake settings and have that chosen as your connection when you dont want to use your providers GPRS.
The settings to change would be the number to dial, for me it is internet2.voicestream.com.
Goto Settings/Connections
Choose Connections, got to Advanced tab.
In "Programsthat automatically connect to internet should connect using:"
choose "My ISP". Or create new one with empty parameters..
Have fun....
deleted connection
Thanks for the easy solution (I like those types). I went ahead and deleted the GPRS connection. Things are behaving just the way I wanted !

stylus???
hmmm...I think SP5m does not have touch screen.
BTW: window mobile and window mobile smartphone are totally different OS.

This is not an easy solution to your request, but I just upgraded my QTEK 8300 to the latest Imate SP5M ROM and noticed that under the COMM Manager one can "Stop Data Services" by moving the joy stick to the icon or hitting number "5". It immediately stops the Data Flow (at least the G) disappears in the header. Not sure it is really stopping Data because when I go to WiFi and open IE, the G reappears. Might be due to the way I have my Cingular connections set up. I'll experiement some more and re-post later. I like the new ROM, snappier, the radio is much better in that I get a much better signal where I'm at.
Here's how you disable GPRS/EDGE Auto connect!!
Start > Settings > Connections > Manage my connections > Then just point to the list item and hold down until the menu pop up and select delete. Do it to all the items there such as T-Mobile / AT&T or Winmodem..etc... after you deleted everything and you go back to the connections page you will see "Add a new modem connection" under My ISP. Do not delete anything under "My Work Network"... Hope this help.
You can use Modaco NoData to disable GPRS/EDGE =D
Have a nice day
to change the modem that is being used for a particular connection, i would need to go through several taps on my HTC Hermes...
Settings --> Connections --> Connections --> Manage Existing Connections --> Modem
then manually choose which 'modem' to use, then press the 'ok' button several times...
is there a software utility that can do this with but a few taps?
-- i know that you can select 'automatic' on the modem tab, however, i need a specific modem for specific browsing needs...
thanks in advanced...
anyone?
im looking for a software/trick/hack that allows me to change connections as simple as possible (it the least amount of clicks/taps)...
thanks!!!

when i am at home i would like to use my wifi connection but it appears that it still tries to use edge. how do i configure my connections so that it uses wifi if connected?
thanks
Hey,
have you properly set up ur wifi connection on ur device including any password protection and security (WEP/WPA etc).
Also and this might seem daft, but is ur wifi connection on router properly working or have you set up any access restrictions on router?
its not a question on whether the wifi connection actually works but edge overriding it.
but... yes i did all of the necessary steps to add my device (wep password, mac address added etc...)
if i turn the phone off the wifi works just fine.
thanks for the reply.
Hy,
you have to set the networks (Internet and Private Network) to "My Work Network".
Does this not work you have to make a rom update.
Greatz
mccoffein
You will find it at Settings -> Connections -> Connections -> Avanced -> Select Networks
that just makes everything not work
Which rom version do you have? Which device do you have? Which Provider Label do you have?
its all in my sig
I find that if I want to switch from cellular data to WiFi, I have to hit the Data button in the Comm Manager, then hit the WiFi button. Otherwise, it doesn't seem to switch. If I just turn on WiFi, it connects, but never know which one is going to be used.
Go to:
Touch "Start > Settings > Connections > Connections > Advanced > Network Selection.
Set both settings to "Office Network"
If this does not work then install a small file called "No data" or "Modaco No data"

no data works by removing a registry key for your connection settings..... so it will also disable your picture messaging and/or email if you use it. (just a heads up)
Hi everyone..
I know radio performance varies greatly depending on your geographical location, but I use a smaller carrier that only operates in 1 state... (well, I can roam around the US, but only home area is 1 state)... After playing around with MANY roms & radios, this is what I found...
I am using a US Cellular branded Touch Pro 2....
I am using the "Energy.RHODCDMA.21911.Sense2.5.Cookie.Jul.24" rom w/ the "VZW_1.88.07WV" radio... I get the highest level of signal with this radio.. At home, I wa typicalls gettign 0-2 bars.. now I get 3-5... Also, as an added suprise.. my battery life has tripled (And I am still using it just as much, if not more).... I was very happily suprised and shocked... Also, the GPS seems to lock in pretty quickly too right out of the box....
You still need to manualyl set up your internet and MMS settings with this (and all) rom... and the settings are for the newest Airfire/Einstein settings...
first off, of course make sure you turn CDMA off and only GSM on... (not world phone mode)...
1. Start
>Settings
>Connections Tab
>Connections
2. Add New Connection
3. Enter name for connection “Airfire Internet”
>Under select modem select “Cellular Line (GPRS)”
>Next
4. Enter access point name> internet.air.net
>Next
5. Leave User name, Password and Domain all blank
> tap Finish
E-Mail
1. Start>Messaging
2. On messaging screen select Menu in bottom right corner and go to options
3. Select Outlook E-mail from list
4. Under server address enter> webmail.airadigm.com
>check the box for SSL connection
>Next
5. Enter in your user name and password for your e-mail
>enter airadigm under domain
>check box for save password
>Next
6. Select what you want your phone to sync with on your PC
> Finish
7. Start
>Settings>Connections tab> Comm Manager
>Turn on Data Connection and Microsoft Direct Push
8. Wait a few minutes and your e-mail should sync with your PC
MMS
1. Start> Messaging> SMS/MMS> Menu in right corner> MMS Options
2. Servers tab> New> Airfire MMS
>leave gateway blank> Port: 8080
>Server address: http://mms.airfiremobile.com/+1(10 digit number)
> Under Connect via select Airfire Internet
>Done Note: You must add the +1 before your number
3. When screen returns to the settings page after entering MMS settings set your MMS settings you just created as default.
I hope this helps everyone who has airfire... or even people just looking for a great rom/radio combination that gives good battery life!
After upgrading to ics, i cannot see the "network" option in the settings menu, which means that i cannot select mobile provider manually, i cannot enable data roaming abroad etc.
Any idea where it went??
When you are in settings, tap on the mobile network icon to go in specific settings.
Got it. Thanks!
