Windows Phone 7 does not allow to specify proxy settings for cellular data connections (unlike Wi-Fi), just APN, user and pass. Is there any path in the registry where they can be set manually that anyone kows about?
Not sure if this helps or not at all but in the LG MFG app, under network profile settings, there's a switch for "Proxy enable options." I haven't seen anything change after enabling it, but it may mean the possibility is there.
Yep, I saw that myself, but this option does not seem to do anything, at least that I could notice. There must be some registry key somewhere, but it's like a needle in a haystack to find it...

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
Ok so I get the fact that if you soft reset when it installs all of the bloatware then it will cancel the install. However, I have done search but the answer was not very clear. When I stop the bloatware from being installed, does that mean I going to have to cinfigure all of the mms settings and internet settings? If so then when were would I find those settings for the at&t tilt? Also, will the cellular video cab for the 8525 work on the tilt or does someone need to make a new version? Any answers on this stuff would be greatly appreciated and like i said earlier, the search did not really give me a definite answer.
did the search not give you a deffinate answer or just not the one your looking for? You can find the MMS and WAP setting by search for Cingular MMS settings on google and this forum and also the cingular video will work with MediaNet as your ISP settings.
It still has proper internet settings. Haven't check the MMS though...
or you can always boot it up normally with all the bloatware, copy all the settings, and then hard reset and do the anti-bloatware boot.
I read that the att.cab file is the settings cab which you can install separately after un-hiding the install cabs on the tilt...? can anyone verify this?
The soft reset upon initial configuration on the tilt should leave the media net (3g) settings in tact...i dont know about the MMS yet but text messages, internet and push email with my exchange server work fine right now.
If any of those settings need manual configuration, all those settings can be found here.
One thing I noticed is the connection profile MEdia Net does not have the proxy settings out the box. The support page will have you input those settings. I find it's not necessary with the auto proxy detect in place. Also using MEdia Net with proxy settings may not allow CV to work.

MMS works fine. The only thing you may want to do is download the enable and disable proxy cabs. Check out this thread on HoFo: http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php?t=1257055
.. So every time I reboot it wants to take me to the connection settings (I've already set up my GPRS/3G and it works fine), and the phone always thinks I'm roaming.
Also, according to my providers webpage (It's Simyo in Spain) they keep sending me config SMS's but they don't seem to be received.
Can anyone help? Thanks
By the way I have Googled this and found lots of references to the connection wizard but I can't find it. If I go to settings -> connections -> connections, then I just get "Simyo" with 'add connection' and 'manage connections' below it, and a similar set of links for 'my work connection'
Never mind, I found the connection setup, it just wasn't showing in the settings menu of Bell UI.
Sorry, I'll mark this solved now.
[edit: Oh I can't change the thread title...]
Hi guys,
Kind of a general info question here because, to cut a long story short, I discovered that MMS wasn't working on my TP2, I then fixed it, but the fixing process raised a few questions in my head.
I had to configure it so that under Connection Settings, "My ISP" defaulted to my mobile web settings, and "My Work Network" defaulted to my WAP settings. Then I set the MMS "Connect via" option to "My Work Network". The thing is, there are other options listed underneath "Connect via". My original setting was just one called "WAP" - but I can't see where the settings for this "WAP" entry are configured. Are they hidden in the registry somewhere, or hard coded into the ROM by my mobile vendor? Or is it something completely different?
Many thanks,
Rag.
Hi there,
I'm currently searching for a registry entry or hosts file on WP7. I know there are some registry keys for DNS on Windows Mobile 6.5, due to its support for multiple network devices (see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa916390.aspx). But if I'm looking at my HD7 with Advancedexplorer, I couldn't find any of these keys.
Only interesting infos where in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Ident, but I'm aiming for the keys or file where WP7 will keep its setting it gets from DHCP while it is connected via WLAN.
AFAIK there is no possible way to manually edit the network settings, so I'll always have to use DHCP. Do someone of you know the location of this information?
Oh, I see my post was moved to Q&A? Thought it would be more a hacking/development problem to find the right file/registry key? Is it possible to move the post back to its original area?
Ok, after digging, I found finally the location for the Wifi Interface settings:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\BCMSDDHD1\Parms\Tcpip
I'm currently not connected to a Wlan, but will recheck at home if there is a value for DNS or device IP
Little Update: if the phone is connected to Wlan, you will get more options beginnen with DHCP I think. So its no problem to change the DNS, but it will only last until the phone reconnects. The values will be overwritten. If you enter a wrong non working DNS, the phone will resort to your providers DNS.
