HTC HD2 - Download Email Via Wifi possible?? - General Topics

Hi Guys
I have the HTC HD2 on a T-Mobile contract, now I have recently noticed that T-mobile only allow downloading of email via t-mobile internet on the device, they lock you out of downloading email via a wifi connection.
Is there an open source Wifi app that allows me to choose between wifi and my providers connection when downloading email.
This will come in really useful when going on holiday, otherwise I will get hit by high data charges, which is what I dont want.

The built in "messaging" program lets you download emails in your "messaging" program. So Wi-Fi works.

in e-mail setup, under "advanced server settings", change "network connection" to "the internet"

A more detailed explanation
Check this post here for a step by step how to do this:

HTC HD2 autoselect cellular/wifi email download
Well, this thread has half-way answered my question. However, on my phone (Telstra Next G network) if I use the above solution I can then ONLY download via wifi. I would like my phone to automatically use wifi when possible, and otherwise use cellular. Every other program on the HD2 that uses internet seems capable of this, so why not email? Any solutions?

yes,i learn it......

Same here on Energy TP2 rom... If I sync email through Windows Live, everything works fine. If I click the "Send/receive" through pop-up menu on Sense UI, no GPRS, not works...

at&t rom 1.62.502.0 internet problame!!!

hi all
im new here many thanks for that amazing group here.
i have yesterday upgraded my rom of my at&t tilt (kaiser tytn ii) to the new version, well all looks ok BUT...
since then i cant get internet connection and mms messages.
i have checked it the whole day today with my network company (im in israel) and we have reconfigured the modem connections but nothing its dead.
before i have done the upgrade all was just ok since yesterday its no connection.
i have checked arround and i found that there are many users that have the same problame all around the world.
since any mms message goes thru internet (etc. gprs,edge,hsdpa) i assume that the problame is with the internet connection and that blocks the mms messages.
my cell company told me that as she sees all is ok and i remember my settings too.
also even when i connect my tilt with usb to my computer i cant go on the web bacause it says "no connection".
i assume that they have planted in the registery any value that blocks any internet connection (as gprs etc.) if its not thru the own supllier, i can understand also why but the fact is that i get hspda connection and i see the icon of "connected" but somthing blocks it !!!!!
is there a way how we can digg in and remove that block that dosent allow the internert?????
is there a way to bypass it ????
or maybe i should go back to my old ROM is that possible????
again i remind u that:
1) all worked excellent till yesterday
2) the HSDPA establishes a connection but the explorer is dead.
3) i cant even connect thru my pc with usb while my pc is fully connected via dsl to the internet.
4) all setting are same and at once its "no connection"?
5) i see that meny users have that problame
if there is any way let me know
also how bad and ugly will it be if i go back to my old ROM and how do i do it.
many thanks
tachat.....

Where did you download the rom from???
I know the one at HTC America is intended & configured for AT&T customer in North America. If a ROM was not released on your local AT&T or HTC site, that may contribute to your issues.
You may want to DL the network configuration wizard & give it a go at reconfiguring your device.
some good news
hi all
many thanks for visniak you were right.
it was some hidden silly proxy that i needed to kick out.
now the internet works great BUT i cant send MMs messages.
the configuratins are all ok (i checked it today with my network company)
they say that thats a ROM problame (means that this might be a problame because i upgraded it to ROM 1.62)
is that right???
is there a solution???
many thanks
it's like BEZEQ and BEZEQINT
each blaming the other.............
I don't use MMS.
But most likely your settings are incorrect.
Does the new AT&T ROM solve the Low Volume when using Bluetooth?
That is the only iserious issue I have with the Tilt.
I have been a Symbian user forever and the AT&T Tilt(Unlocked and using it on another service provider in India) is my first exposure to Windows mobile. I upgraded to the new AT&T Rom(1.62.502.0) and the low bluetooth volume issue is sorted out...I'm using the SE 970 stereo BT headset, which is working fine.(ADVANCE that should solve ur query)
My only issue now is that i am unable to use the Internet Explorer thru GPRS. Strangely i could configure and download my E mails thru Outlook. Also, when I Sync the Tilt with my PC, IE works fine using the net connection from the PC. Any insight/clues why I'm facing this issue?

Any way for WM6 to ask befor automatically connect 3G/GPRS?

Hello community:
I need your help on this.
every time i accidentally click the weather icon on my HTC Today, or open opera mistakenly, or any other software wants internet access, WM6 automatically connects 3G without asking, which is killing my phone credit.
Is there a way for it to always ask before making a connection to internet? Or to limit internet connection to WIFI only?
thanks for any help.
settings->connections->connections->advanced->select networks
there are some texts showing "programs that automatically connect to the internet should connect using"
and a dropdownbox
select the dropdownbox item which is not called something like "my isp"
but pick the one thats called something like "my network"
then all programs trying to access the internet will be forced to use activesync as internet connection and if activesync is not connected they will fail!

sk-Tools Lite has an option to disable the GPRS AutoConnect. Or you might do a search in your Registry for the key and set it to '0'....

Connect through WiFi or 3G

Hai.
First of all I'm very happy with my HTC Touch Pro UK. Before this I used a TyTN II, also a very nice device.
With the Touch pro a have a little problem when retrieving email through IMAP. On the TyTN II the email was retrieved through WiFi if there was a WiFi connection and through 3G when there wasn't.
For Outlook (ActiveSync) on the Touch Pro this works fine, but for IMAP connections, it only wants to connect through 3G, whatever I set in the Advanced Server Settings of the IMAP account. When I choose Vodafone GPRS it connects through 3G, also when there is a WiFi connection active.
Can this behaviour be altered ?
Hope anybody has a solution for this.

I wasn't aware that this was a ROM issue. On the TyTN II it was working with the default ROM. I hoped it was just a setting somewhere...
I'll wait for some more tweaks or a new ROM..
I've got the same problem with hotmail using windows live. It always connects via GPRS rather than use the available WiFi. I have found that if the wifi is turned on before soft resetting the device - ie it then starts up with wifi on, i can sync via the wifi connection until the wifi connection is turned off and then it always defaults back to GPRS.
Hmm, I would advise (since i havent got a device here yet to test...will do tomorrow) that you go through the wifi settings and make sure it is set to access "the internet" and not "workplace" or anything else??
Helping out would be so much easier if it was sat right infornt of me...will be soon

I can wait 'till tomorrow.. No problem.. ;-)
Already done that and selected Internet under Wifi. All other programs connect correctly to WiFi ie, Opera Mobile, Opera Mini, GPS Update etc.... its just email that gets it wrong.

Tried the same and results are also the same.
Did anybody find a fix for this ?
Do a search for Modaco nodata. It should allow you to disable the regular 3G data connection, which should (hopefully) force the phone to use wlan if you have a working connection.
This is a fix that really needs to be sorted. If wifi is working, leave 3G alone!
Damn thing is costing me money! I'm not a on a data plan, so it costs a lot more than if I was.
I didn't take a data plan, because everywhere I go, I have access to wifi!
I shouldn't have to disable 3G!
Can't it be done automatically? If wifi has an active connection, don't use 3G/HSPA. Since there is already the nodata program, all it needs is changed to be auto. And yes, I use the word "all" very loosely, I don't know how to code for mobiles!

I already tried this, doesn't work. Connection times out.
I used to have this issue until i switched my settings to "the internet" and not work. did u change both the settings for the wifi card AND the settings for the access point? (not sure if that was what made the difference, but now everything is going through wifi for me.

This is part of the solution IMHO. IMAP now connects through wifi when there is a wifi connection available, but it doesn't fallback to GPRS/3G when wifi is not available.
Any other fantastic ideas ?
Nice fixed one problem, created a new one, this I can't reproduce since my email isn't imap. For everything else if there is no wifi it will connect to edge.
anybody out there with an IMAP email account with the same issue?

HTC Touch Viva T2223 (AKA Opal) Problems with AT&T Connections

Hello,
I've just bought this phone/ pda. I am an AT&T customer in the US. Everything works fine, except the WHEATHER application in the TouchFLO.
It is not possible to update the cities, unless connected through WIFI or during ActiveSync with the computer.
I do have unlimited data plan, and the user manual says that the application connects through GPRS/EDGE network.
All other apps work great, Opera, Internet Explorer, Messenger, Skype, but this specific application (Weather) does not work.
The menu options for that app are vety limited: "download data automatically" and "download when roaming".
Does anybody know about a patch to fix this or how to modify the connection or port the app uses to connect?
I've tried the HTC Home patch and after install it, still doenst work,
Please help, I called HTC customer serv, and they have no idea.
Thank you

Instant messenger via wifi!!

Hey,
I have got my hands on a BlackBerry Curve 8320 on the T-mobile network. I was wondering how it would be possible for me to use the instant message feature using the wifi option? I was a previous owner of a T-mobile featured MDA as soon as I was linked to any wireless router I had instant access to any of the instant messengers available. Your ingenius help would be greatly appreciated.....
Thanx,
Kuntars
if you have any messenger apps for blackberry you can use them using wifi.. nothing special about that
Kuntars in need of help
I have all the preloded messenger apps like Yahoo, Aim, Msn, Icq etc. the problem is when I try to sign in the program responds "service not enabled for this handheld" When I called my T-mobile my service provider they as usual try to sell me something by telling me that the only way that I could gain access is by purchasing their data plan for $24.99 monthly charge, the reason I feel that their claim is absured is simply cause I had it running on the MDA as i had explained previously.... Is there perhaps another application I must download, or maybe program the phone in some way???
Unless Blackberry can't use Wifi to connect to the internet by default (which is obviously impossible since blackberry is all about internet), they're lying, and you should be able to connect. it might be that your Messenger application (dunno which one it is for BB) can't use Wifi connection (tho this is unprobable as well)
AFAIK, BlackBerry is all about using data plans, whatever they are called.
But, that can vary from provider to provider regarding pricing/charging.
If you are able to surf on internet trough WiFi on that BB device (sorry, I'm using BB Pearl 8100 which has no WiFi, so can't check), you might want to try BeeJiveIM software. It ain't freeware, but there should be trial version.
You also might want to raise your question in Curve section of PinStack forums.
