App to close all conections - app to switch from wap to internet?

I hate to be a "sniper" and try to hit the so very small connection icon with my finger every time I want to close my active connections.
Wheen changing connections from wap to internet I have to navigate to several menus - absolutely idiotic - and by no means a one hand operation.
Can't anyone do something about it?

Googled/ found/ installed end result is a can see WiFi yet "Data conection" is somewhere down below - if one should compare it to a rectangular 320x240 screen. Try scrolling but it does't work. Help kindly appreciated.

Have you seen that one? I'll just check it out. 3G should be on screen.
EDIT:
Only ActiveSync button is completly outside screen. I hadn't chance to test all features, but looks good.

Hi man and thank you for your help. Unfortunately this is not I was looking for as from the pictures attached the one shortcut that I need is missing i.e. "data connection". I am looking for a comm manager with at most 4 tabs like data conection, bluetooth, internet sharing, and wifi. Any customised version already on the forum?

I have the same problem. Just trying out an LG KS20 - my first non-HTC device - and I'm surprised that the device can't close one connection (e.g. internet) before opening the other (e.g. WAP) on its own. My HTC devices used to manage that fine. KS20 needs manual close of the connection - anyone know how HTC devices manage that?

Not on the forum, but have a look at phoneAlarm from pocketmax.net. It's a today plugin that does hundreds of other things too (esp. manage phone profiles), but most skins for it offer buttons to (de)activate data connections, bluetooth (including visibility and A2DP toggles), WIFI, ActiveSync etc.
Have a look at the skins section and you'll see.

App for blocking mobile data connection?

As per the title...
I'm currently on holiday in Canada and using the hotel WiFi - but it keeps dropping out and my phone connects itself using 3G. Data on my O2 contract is £6per mb - so I don't want to be surfing on that! Because Opera or Skyfire take up the whole screen, I can't see when itsdropped out of WiFi, so my bill is already likely to be huge!
Is there an app to prevent my phone connecting over 3G / Edge etc?
Cheers...

Can't you just activate the "no data on roaming" option?
Otherwise, you can install NoData, or Manila dial-up enabler/disabler.

Hi.
Use this to disable the data connection. Originally from MoDaco forum....i think.

This is how I did it, taken from the HTC support site:
How do I disable my 3G/GPRS Data Connection?
Follow the steps below to ensure that your phone will never connect to a GPRS/3G Data Connection.
1. Go to Start > Settings > Menu > All Settings > Connections > Connections
2. Tap Add a new modem connection > then under Select a modem, select Celluar Line (GPRS) > Name the Connection "Offline" >Tap Next.
3. In the Access point name text box input "Offline" and tap Next.
4. On the next page tap Finish.
5. On the second Connections Menu, tap Manage existing connections and select "Offline" then click OK.
Re-enable the data connection if you want to connect to the internet via 3g/Edge.
1. From the home screen, slide to the Settings tab, Wireless Controls > Data Connection.
2. Select your Country and Operator
3. Tap OK.
4. On the subsequent screen, tap Yes.
The phone will automatically configure itself with the appropriate settings.
Note: When disabling the connection in this way, your phone may report errors when trying to connect to "Offline." The error is caused by the phone being unable to connect to a data source due to the settings, and is normal.

yeah well it's pretty much the same when you remove all settings - it tries to connect but it can't and an error message pops up when it tries to connect. i just can't figure why it's trying to connect in the first place when i've stopped all data services available in the settings tab and there are no applications running according to the task manager? i want it to stop trying to connect cuz its freaking anoying.

Rumz82, I know it's been a while since the last post, just for you to know that CAB saved me some money, because everytime I travel to another country I have roaming data charges, even if everything is disabled.
If I'd have searched here before, I could have saved some money indeed...
Thank you a zillion.
Best regards!

Can you provide step-by-step instructions ?
Thanks,

[Q] wm5 One click VPN script?

Hi there, i'm using windows mobile 5 PDA's and the snag i have is the built in vpn connection, it works perfectly well, the issue is making it easier for the reps to use on the road.
in order to connect you have to click start-settings-connection settings-manage vpn connections... hold the stylus on your connection and click connect... being careful not to click DELETE!, which happens to a few of the reps,
So is there a way to make a shortcut on the start bar for examlple a script that sets the vpn connection going, anything really to make the connection straight forward,
oh and one to then dissconnect if it's possible.
I've tried using a 3rd party vpn software from watchguard but it has compatibilty issues with the wireless card in my device (unitech PA500) i had previously posted to resolve that issue but it's down to hardware and cannot be resolved.
Thanks in advance, any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Mark.
P.S i reposted this because i think it was in the wrong place to begin with.

Coverage extend feature

In Dev settings there is this thing called wifi coverage extend feature, wth is that? I feel like it would make my phone work as a wifi extender for poor networks, but I have no idea if this is what it is or if it even works, could someone please enlighten me? Google, surprisingly, has no answer for this...which makes me more intrigued to find out.

I don't have that in my Dev Settings

Wierd... Had it on 5.1.11 where I first discovered it, and on the betas, and also some custom ROMs, not all of the 4-5 I've tried

In developer settings of 9.0. looks like it's hotspot related.

This thread is the first relevant result when googling for this function.
Might it be OnePlus exclusive?
Does it even work?

I too have it, and was wondering the same thing. Definitely since I can't get VPN hotspot app to work properly using this phone.

I don't know! IDK the intended feature(plug n play maybe, just flip the switch n go?) so how would i try it out?... Ive tried to use it as an extender once, a vague try that didn't result in it working or not working... The other phone just had an acceptable and jumpy wifi altogether so it was a weak try so to speak
Would be cool to know

I was going through this option and I think I found out how to use it. Although my test has been unsuccessful I believe someone can tell me if I did wrong somewhere. So what I found out and what i did basically is
1. Obvious step - turn on that setting in Dev options.
2. Now connect to any WiFi hotspot. After successful connection go to the options of that particular WiFi - like where you see the connection details.
3. Click on the modify network option on top right corner.
4. Expand the "Advanced settings" drop-down option in that submenu.
5. You will now see a checkbox that says "Extend WiFi coverage"
As per my understanding I checked it and then tried to connect my other phone to that same hotspot but from a farther range to the router but within the range of my OnePlus device as if it's acting as an extender. My test was unsuccessful here as the signal was still weak assuming my other phone was still getting the actual signal from the router and not the OnePlus device.
I'd be grateful if someone here corrects me if I did something wrong/missing something and let me know if anyone gets it to work.
Thanks. Cheers!

On your first phone find our the BSSID of your original WiFi network. After you do that find out on your second phone whether you've connected to the original BSSID or your 1st phone's BSSID

I too want to figure out how to get this option working. Can't get it to work..

@danger86 Can you provide a guide on how to do this?

What guide would you like? How to know which Wi-Fi hotspot your phone is connected to? Just pull the notifications and under the Wi-Fi toggle you'll see the name of your hotspot

You need one more step , 6. Turn on your hotspot first than turn on wifi and connect to that wifi in which you ticked extend coverage option and your wifi,hotspot start working simonteneously (remember ssid shown in other devices will be router ssid)
7. If hotspot get turn off after connecting to desire network than try again step 6
