user confirm with connecting to internet through GPRS/EDGE

hi
is there some way to make phone asking me before connect to internet with mobile network ? (not wifi, bt, activesync) ...
example: im connected to net throught wifi ,browsing with opera but when connection is lost - phone automatically switch to edge/gprs - and i have no pre-paid data tarif , sou money runs out...

Same question
Yes, can anyone help with this one. For example, even if i'm connected to a wifi network and using the internet in opera, if I update the weather or send/receive my emails it will automatically connect to the mobile internet and download using this instead of the wireless.
The only thing I found was to turn the phone off (in comm manager, select phone to off), which forces it to download data using the wifi.
Can anybody help?

problem that you describe is not exactly what is my problem ,if i have established connection with wifi - internet is automatically go throught it,
maybe ....,have you got "The Internet" in preferences of your AP in settings > connections > Wireless lan > $essid (or under menu > edit ) ? (and you must be connected before you start using internet - opera ,updating or etc , thats for sure this will not automatically turn on and connect thrue wifi )
my question si only about "ask me before i will establish connection to the mobile internet network"

why not use NoData, you can shut down the data connection...

you mean create an empty profile in conections ? yes , sure , this working, i have it but sometime i want use this , so i must go to settings and switch to working profile and ..... its annoying, is there any other way ? in windows stile you know , "are you sure with blahblahblah" - my old W850i have this function ,every application which would like to connect run dialog "can this application connect to internet ?" and i can choose "permanently" or "ask me every time" ...somethink like this

No, I mean using a program called Nodata. I presume you are using GSM/Edge/3G data only when absolutely needed, and this program gives you the option to easily shut down any GSM related data connection (Edges, GPRS, etc)..

maybe you not understand me
or ...
you know how to add wireless lan profile to connection setting ?
(this setting is only for mobile operator settings )

have you tried the Start-> Settings-> Sounds & Notifications-> Notifications Tab-> go to "Connection established" item?
this should do the trick.....

looking in the settings - there is "display message on screen" thrue which i can cancel connecting , little compromise... i think this is better resolution thank you

Guide!! Using your WM6.1 device as access point via your router

Hello This guide is made up from the knowledge i have build up from advice given on XDA and information on other sites.
I have found this very useful in my home and hope you do to.
First off, this guide explains everything you need to do to use your diamond as the access point to the internet at home for all devices. (PC's, PS3, XBOX360, Wii)
It is highly recommended that you have a unlimited data allowance!!!!! Otherwise you could have a hefty bill at the end of the month.
Right what you will need :
A WM6.1 Device (I used a Diamond) with an unlimited data allowance tariff,
A WiFi router (i have used an old router that was installed with Tiscali BB)
WMWifiRouter version 0.80 (please find this your self i will not provide it)
and some basic knowledge of networking on PC's and your devices.
Thats it. Please don't be put off by the networking side of things its really easy to do.
Right first off we need to get your diamond taking to your router.
switch on your router and let it do its thing for 2-4 mins
Connect your diamond to the wifi router by switching on your wifi in settings, communications on touchflow, when prompted, connect to your router and enter your network key.
THIS IS THE SAME PROCESS AS CONNECTING TO A WIFI HOTSPOT.
Its that simple.
Next switch off your wifi in settings, communications.
Install WMWifiRouter version 0.80 (Simple and stable)
once installed open WMWifiRouter and press connect.
This should then setup your phone to be used as a access point and connect to your wireless network all at once.
Once it says connected you can turn off your phones main screen by pressing the off switch at the top and put your phone where there is best signal! HSDPA is needed to get up 7.2mbps (little H in signal area)
Right now you need to setup your laptop or device to talk to the phone via your router!
So here are the settings you need to setup in either TCP/IP (manual connection) or a manual connection on your device (PS3, Wii, XBOX360).
I will use a laptops connection as a example because all you need to do is to copy the settings to another device using a different IP address.
If you use wifi or a hardwired connection, right click the telly with the wifi connection in the bottom right of the screen and click open network connections (XP only dont know for vista), Or if the telly is not displayed in the bottom righthand cornner of the task bar then click start, control panel, network connections.
Click on the connection you wish to use i.e local area connection or wireless network connection (you can setup both connections by repeating these steps on each connection)
this should bring up a general tab of this connection, click properties.
This will bring up another box with the network properties, all you need to do is manually enter your IP settings and DNS settings so double click on "internet protocol [TCP/IP]"
Another box appears.
Click "use the following IP address"
In IP address type "192.168.0.xxx" xxx being the unique 3 digit code of your choice, write this down for your firewall settings on other devices if you run a networked drive etc. Each new device will need its own unique 3 digit code ie PC = 192.168.0.100, XBOX360 = 192.168.0.200, Wii = 192.168.0.123 etc.
In Subnet mask type "255.255.255.0"
In Default gate way type "192.168.0.1
Now click "Use the following DNS server address"
In preferred DNS server type "192.168.0.1"
Thats it, press ok and ok on any other boxes still left open.
Your network device will rest your IP and DNS settings to the ones you have just entered, thus allowing you computer to access the mobiles phones internet connection via your router
On all your devices Manually setup all your connections using these settings and they will all use your mobile phone to connect to the internet.
Using DHCP to configure your network is not advised as its unreliable at finding your phones connection.
Now if you want to start using your phone as a phone again, open up WMWifiRouter again if its not already and click options Quit.
To get internet access on other devices via your phone again all you need to do is to start WMWifiRouter and press connect. Start using the internet!!!
If you wish to use your laptop on another hotspot, you will need to reset the TCP/IP settings back to automatic, otherwise it will not work.
Using this process sometimes causes the phone to disable its own internet connection, so a soft reset after exiting WMWifiRouter is recommended.
Have fun, im sorry if its all a little messy but i have never been very good at writing these guides.
If any modd wants to add or edit this post then please feel free. any persons wanting to add to this guide please do so.
Yes i know you can connect your phone to your laptop by USB, Bluetooth, but this method allows multiple devices to use the same phone to access the internet at the same time and via a access point at the highest possible speed, so games consoles can use it!!! Brilliant if you get a good HSDPA signal and live in the country.
Oh one last thing! if you are a youngster and wish to try this, please do so on other equipment, don't use your family's main router and laptop or PC unless its no longer in use!!!
Thank You

If you connect your device via usb activesync than it will automatically use the computer's internet connection. (I think this is the default windows mobile behavior).

For a wireless network do the following....
Make sure that your router is not set to hide your network (Broadcast Network option should be on).
If you have used mac protection (an option on your router) then you will need to first get the mac address of your Topaz and put into into your router security.
On your Topaz do the following:
1) Go to the communications option under the setting page.
2) Turn WiFi on.
3) Press on the Wi-Fi option and it will show a screen of networks it finds and the signal strength
4) Press on your network
5) If your network is passcode or wep enabled then you will be prompted to enter the key
6) Save the connection (move to first preference if possible so it is faster to connect)
You can now select to hide your network on your router if you want to
If you set the network to autoconnect then when you turn on your WiFi in the future the network will connect automatically if in range

Internet Sharing on WinXP. Network connected but browsers dont work

First off, this is on Verizon. Second, this is using the USB cable. Yes, my cable and connections are fine.
Now, sometime last year I posted about not being able to get Internet Sharing working on my TP2. I had problems getting WindowsXP to install the proper drivers. Ok, I have resolved that problem finally. Got the XP Hotfix files for the RNDIS device. .........read below
I first tried without the Internet Sharing fix .cab. And then later installed the cab to see if any differences occur. The problem.... I connect my TP2 to the usb cable and turn on Internet Sharing. It connects and shows up in XP Network connections as something like "Windows Mobile Internet sharing device - LAN #3" . And it shows as connected. However, none of the web browser will work. I get network connection errors or something of the sort. Another thing, While in network connections window, I get a horrible delay when I right click and select "Properties" or "Status" on this particular connection. It sometimes takes it up to a minute before the properties window opens. Most of the time it will show an IP address, subnet mask etc.. but sometimes it shows all 0's for ip. What is causing the hang up on this? Why is it sometimes it acts like it is freezing up, but will un freeze after about 1 minute or when I choose "disconnect" on the phones IS screen? Also, why is it when I have the Status window open for that connection that sometimes it suddenly closes out on its own, and when I try to open the status window again nothing happens? I have also noticed that while IS is turned on, CPU usage constantly jumps up and down to 40%?
What do I need to configure to get this to work right? While it was connected a couple different times, I used FDC Task Manager on the phone to Ping the IP address on my computer. While monitoring the packets sent/received in the Network status window, a couple times packets were showing as received , but most of the times it wont receive any packets and Ping will just time out constantly. On the status window, I will notice multiple sent packets, but 0 packets received. I tried manually assigning DNS addresses in the TCP/IP config, but still I have the same problems.
Any IT experts here???? Please no mention of WiFi Internet Sharing. I cant afford Wifi equipment right now, I just want to solve this connection issue.
THANKS for any help in the future. I'm about ready to nuke the computer....

Mobile hotspot connect, but no internet connection

Hi, I tried getting help with this on P30 Pro forum here, but no luck. I'm having problems with mobile hotspot on my Huawei P30 Pro. My notebook can see the hotspot, and can connect to it, but the phone just won't share the internet connection.
Bluetooth is turned on, and bluetooth tethering as well, and I tried both 2.4 and 5 GHz.
I tried USB tethering. Tried apps from the store. Tried addin "DUN" to APN type and always the same thing - notebook can see the hotspot, but internet is not working. Any ideas? The notebook is Asus Rog G751. Three months ago internet over hotspot was working, but since I only use hotspot when travelling, I have no idea what could have gone wrong in the mean time.

You have tried USB tethering as well as Bluetooth tethering. Have you tried the 'Portable WLAN hotspot'?
In the Settings of 'Portable WLAN hotspot', there is a 'Data limit' option. Check it and the device list, please.

Switch Airplane Mode On and Off:
This is a method that usually fixes the error and works for most of the Android Users. All the user needs to do is switch the Airplane Mode On and off. The airplane mode basically resets the Signal and Network adapter to help the connection be restarted again.
To switch the Airplane Mode On and off, all you have to do is pull the notification drawer down, and then look for an Airplane icon, tapping on it will activate it. Wait for 5 seconds, then tap on the Airplane icon again to deactivate it and wait on all the Mobile network to appear again and then turn on the data and the Hotspot of the device.
Change from Dynamic IP to Static IP:
Mobile data has a dynamic IP address, which tends to alter every time you turn it on. So sometimes setting up a static IP address will solve the connection problem. The steps are to change from Dynamic to Static IP:
Step One: Navigate to Settings in the connected device, select Wi-Fi connection and long-press the name of the Hotspot, this will bring up a Menu, this setting can also be found under Modify Network of the Wi-Fi.
Step Two: Change the IP setting from Dynamic to Static IP, and then assign an IP starting with 192.168.x.x (Replace with any number from 1 to 255). Do not change anything else from the settings, press apply and this should fix the issue.
