Is there a program out there that will allow you to use programs that require wifi or 3g on the edge network? I know on my iPhone they made a program called 3g unrestrictor and tricker 3g. I want to use some IM programs and skype when my phone switches over to edge network when I'm out of reach of the 3g network. Any help would be awesome!
Huh?
All programs I've used take whatever is available, be it wifi, or data (3G or EDGE are not differentiated by programs AFAIK, they're both "data").
same here
how long u had that problem
Well, I think it was just coincidence or something because every time I tried to open a couple of programs when the phone was on edge they weren't working. Being that I just swapped over from an iPhone and it was an issue with that phone I figured this one needed the same kind of thing.

im looking for a multi messenger program, free, for wm6 phones.
i currently use the IM program that comes with my tmobile wing and it occasionally kicks me off, even if i have full coverage (i do have the unlimited data plan also).....
does anyone know where i can get a free program that wont kick me off, will keep me connected and is multi messenger??!!
thanks in advance guys
ps- i tried searching everywhere on this site, sorry if i overlooked something.
you can try this out - it is at alpha testing stage but very stable and is free for now anyway :http://www.lonelycatgames.com/?app=slick
I use Palringo... works wonderfully. Just so that you know, on T-Mobile since you are on Edge/GPRS it uses the same radio hardware as the voice calls. It is impossible to have both a Data (Edge/GPRS) and a Voice call at the same time. So you will be kicked off on all programs until they roll out their 3G network and you have a compatible device. 3G technology uses different radios and allows you to have voice and data calls active at the same time.

could try ebuddy. i use that because my network dont let me on WLM. give it a shot and its free
I've been browsing through the forums a week ago and saw a post with a program that can disable/enable 3G permanently, only if you want to.
Since im going through tunnels alot and going in buildings that block 3g which makes the phone switch from 3g to g, which costs alot of battery power, i would love to have a program that disables the 3G function and only enables it when I want to.. I just cant find that post anymore..
Can anyone recall the programs name?

comm manager pro i beleive
that works on my 8525 dont hava touch pro yet to try
You already have it. It's the comm manager. Use advanced config to edit its functions and add 3G on/off
or use modaco nodata
Easy solution no additional software necessary
Navigate to start/settings/phone
under phone icon select band tab
under band change netowrk type from auto to GSM . Leave select gsm/umts on auto. click ok. all done about double the battery life i.m.o. , only using 3g when i need to
I have yet to come across the ability to use wifi and 3G simultaneously so it seems like it could be well worth implementing.

Anyone care to be able to be connected to your work network over wifi and surf whatever sites you want/run whatever apps you want over 3G?
Anyone?!?
Bump*2
Anyone out there?
Generally my sensation has a decent reception. Most of the times i`m able to get a decent 3G/HSDPA signal without any problems.
The problem is, that I live outside the city and at home my (3G) reception sucks. My Sensation seems to suffer from this poor reception a lot more then my previous Desire-Z.
The 2G connection is fine. When the phone switches to 3G however, I only get one bar and the connection frequently drops so that I have no service at all. When i set the phone to only use 2G, the connection stays stable and since I have wifi, having only GPRS at home is no problem.
I don`t want to leave my phone on 2G only because when i`m not home, the 3G connection is usually fine. I was wondering if there is a way to manually change the 2g/3g switching treshold so the phone will only switch when it has a decent 3G signal. I tried to set GSM Auto (PRL) at the #*#4636#*#* menu, but this doesn`t do the trick.
Thanks
You might have already found an answer to your question, but in case you haven't, you might wanna check out WMLongLife.
It has the ability to automatically disable 3G when you have access to a WiFi network.
Hope this helps
I would be quite interested to see the trick how you are running such a deep system tweak application from Windows Mobile on a Android phone ...
Best regards,

But there is a possibility with Tasker

I used tasker to achieve this, when it notices my wifi ssid, it switches off 3g. The down side is that wifi needs to be on ask the time. You could also use "show and switch 2g/3g" from the market, with this APp you can switch with one button or use a schedule.
Guy from reply #2, this is an Android forum not winmo. Winmo it's dead.
I know for some the title is a little contradicting, but here is what I am looking for:
I would like to turn off calls and sms, and enable only mobile data (3g). Airplane mode is not good for this as it turns off mobile data. I have done this on an old windows mobile phone I used to have (motorola q) but I haven't found much info on android for this. I know some people have also asked the same question but no answer (forums.androidcentral.com/htc-evo-4g/61387-how-turn-off-cell-phone-radio.html).
I have an Samsung exhibit 2, it's on gingerbread.
I am wondering if it isn't as simple as to replace the normal phone apks with the ones from a tablet (since tablets cannot make voice calls or sms) was anyone tried this? Maybe can point me to a place to try? I think the apks to replace would be the 2 being discussed here:
android.stackexchange.com/questions/7133/how-do-i-turn-off-the-cellular-radio-without-disabling-bluetooth
Thank you.
Tablets can make voice calls AFAIK. Although one looks very stupid holding a large pad onto the ear. Normally, it goes to Loudspeaker by default.
Anyways, what you are looking for might not be in Android. From the look of it, this is a driver feature. So if the drivers of the phone's radio does not support this feature it might not be possible.
Anyways, is it possible to do this in real GSM radios? Isn't GPRS in the same band as in Voice calls? I'm not sure about HSPA.
Why would you want to do that?
Do you just want to disable texting and calls? (You could just ignore them?), or you could just use Wifi.
In older phones (like 2g and basic cell phones), they did not have mobile data, so all they had was the cellular radio. In newer phones though, the cellular radio and 3g/4g is the same piece of hardware, so it is not possible, as far as I am aware, to disable one or the other selectively. Sorry
If you're own a sprint phone and try to download a phone call can break the connection. I am also looking for a way to temp disable the cell radio while downloading.
"Juice" might do it. I know some of the battery saver apps will allow this customization where you can have data only, radio off, radio on data off...etc
