Hallo All,
I recently upgraded my imate PDA2K to windows mobile 5.
now in WM2003 there was this small app, the wireless manager, that allowed me to manually connect or disconnect the different networks (gprs, wifi, etc.)
I can't find this app anymore, I don't know if it was enough to copy a file from the old WM2003 device, so now to connect to, say, gprs, I need to actually DO something (like connecting to messenger etc) and when I'm done with browsing I need to wait until the connection is closed by the system.
is there a way to restore wm2003 behavior? maybe a program?
thanks
i've been wondering the same thing, and it wasn't a program it was party of win2003, you clikc on the gprs icon at the top and it lists your connections and then you can connect manually. Now it doesn't show that there are any networks and askes you to set it up. So my assumsion is that it's a registery thing because there was a key that changed the display on it, and it was a bug in an imate rom that made the red hangup button disconnect gprs, a reg hack fixed that. I just havn't been able to find the keys.
ok thanks...
but then, doesit mean that whenever I connect to gprs I have to wait for the os to turn it off?
looks lie a step back imo
if you hold down the hangup button it will disconnect your gprs, or i can give you the registery hack to add the disconnect button on the G icon bubble.
having the registry key would be wonderful!!
can you email it to me at [email protected] pls?
i would be most grateful
regedit this
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\Phone]
"Flags2"=dword:00000000 = no button disconect in buble con.
"Flags2"=dword:00000008 = button disconect on buble con.
"Flags2"=dword:00000010 = button disconect and time con. on buble conection (hex)
those are your choices, i always set mine to 10, i like seeing the time and the disconnect button.
it worked! thanks a lot! i don't know why but i feel better now
*looks relieved for no particular reason*

Hello everybody!
Could you help me with wi-fi manager CAB? After hardreset I can not configure wi-fi network on my Tytn II. Before HR all worked fine, but now i can just turn wi-fi on in my Comm Manager and in Settings choose Wireless LAN. Here I can see SSID, but can't change it. When I press Menu -> Wi-Fi, I come to Configuring Network Adapters, not Wi-Fi networks. Please, help me to install Wi-Fi manager.
Is the icon for also missing from 'Start Menu' 'Settings' 'Connections' ?
and if so look in the registry and see if..
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\WiFi key is still shown.
What model/carrier 'Kaiser' do you have and have you flashed the ROM?
Please help
In the 'Settings' 'Connections' I have only those icons:
Beam, Bluethoose, Comm Manager, Connection Setup, Connections, CSD Line Type, GPRS Settings, HSPDA, Network Cards, SMS Service, USB to PC, Wireless LAN. IDK if there should be Wi-Fi icon, but before HardReset, I could list WiFi networks available, and setup keys and settings.
In Registry HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\WiFi key is shown, it has not keys in, but it has two embedded folders with following keys:
EapolParam2
EapFlags 0
EapType 13
EapolParam1
EapFlags 0
EapType 25
I don't know, what it stands for. And I dont know how to find flash number.
I have pure Tytn II (USA) model
The problem arises when I (stupidly) push Clear Storage button in 'Settings' - 'System' and Hard Reseted device. But I didn't (may be) installed software responsible for WiFi
Clear Storage does not do a completely full hard reset but it may be best if no-one comes up with another alternative to do an actual hard reset (just goes back to as if you got it out of the box).
That is, hold the two soft keys (the ones with the dashes) and insert the stylus in the reset hole at the bottom until the screen clears.
hello all,
Right, I have gprs auto attach disabled using the advanced config tool, that works no problem. But every time I use gprs, it doesn't go off again. I have set the disconnection time to 1min, that works fine and it disconnects, but the big G still stays on, it'll only go away if I soft reset. Any idea's?
Basically it seems that after I use gprs, the auto attach seems to enable itself until I soft reset.
Anyone?
(the phone is also in GSM mode, rather than Auto too)
one of the possible solutions:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=407264
What I do is:
I have configured the call end key (Long Press) to disconnect data connections.
So, whenever I am done with browsing or checking my email, I just hit the end key and hold it down for a few seconds. Drops the data connection
All the best
Configuring the end key
Start - Settings - System
click on long press end key (icon)
Select terminate data connection
If I am not mistaken - the BIG G (or H or E) remains there.
Data Exchange or Connection is active only if you see a smaller G (or E or H) on top of the network signal bars (along with the big ones on the side) and / or you see arrows moving on top of the network signal bars. (THAT would mean it's still connected).
Thanks for the reply! Yes, data connection is not active. But the big G should not be there when I have "GPRS Auto Attach" disabled. By doing this, saves at least 40% battery!
But as said, when I establish a data connection, and have finished with it. The data connection gets disconnected, as normal, but the big G remains. With "auto attach" disabled, this should not happen. If I soft reset the phone, the big G dissapears as it should.
Hi
First we had Vodafone which let the gprs connection always on.
Now we switched to KPN which lose connection after some period. That's OK by me, cause we use 2 connections.
1 for work and 1 for internet.
The program in use decides which connection to make.
But big problem is a a popup which state it's not possible to make connection.
In portrait there's a button to ignore it, but in landscape the button is not there.
Is there a registry tweak to turn this popup completely off??
I'm already jusing the kaiser tweak program and i'm jusing mobile 6.1 (collega's who have the 6.0 version of mobile are experiencing the same problem)
tnx in advance.
Found this threat something almost similair
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=334718
But in WM6.1 (my version) the cennection lost notification check is grayed out. (and not checked) So why do i keep getting connection (GPRS) lost bubble (searched for popop )
A silly question by a new user: how is it possible to stop an internet or data connection (no matter if hsdpa, edge, gprs) once started?
Thanks
use 'long key press' in settings, can be set to disconnect a data connection (sdpa, edge, gprs)
Use this program:

The connection stop after 1 minutes of inactivity

faulty url!
take this one:
GB-SOFT GPRS-UMTS_Tweak_WM6.1_Diamond
there you can choose the idle-time for disconnect
Anyway the manual stopping mode is to tap the bar that is on the top of the sceen...than tap the G E 3G or U icon and so you can tap disconnect.

Cool, also in stead of holding the end call button, wich locks the phone in my case,
Dubbelclicking the end call button alse ends my edge connection.
In order for your end key to stop the connection, you have to go to Settings>System>Long Press End Key>Select Terminate data connection
Then when you press and hold your end key, it will end the connection
if you prefer to stop internetconnection by shortcut, try VJKeyPress.exe 126
this one toggles internet connection
i've searched and i've searched and i cant find the resolve!
after retrieving hotmail, the connection stays active, meaning bars are lit up. for HOURS after unless i long-press-end key or something like that. even when i am surfing the web, after a page is fully loaded, the bars stay lit. on my old diamond, the bars used to go gray or "dormant" etc. therefore no tweaks i have found help (i.e. most operate with this rule "if the connection is dormant/inactive for xx minutes, turn off data" etc. well my connection remains ACTIVE unless i manually intervene)
what is causing this??? i only have spb mobile shell and spb phone suite installed. stock ROM.
hello? anyone? NO one is having the same issue or can help with this??? at this point i'd even be happy with a rude comment about how i should learn how to search coupled with a few links to threads which contain the answers! :\
I'm not sure I understand your question.
You're saying the connection stays alive after using mail or opera?
By default, WMo does not turn off data connection, so once you've made a data connection, it stays on.
Now, there are lots of programs out there that turns off data connection after a pre-set time. If you have Advanced Config on your Diamond, it's somewhere in there as well (I use SKTools and not Advacned Config so I can't point you exactly where, but it's there)
That said, many have tested battery drain and find that leaving the data connection ON or OFF makes absolutely no difference on the battery drain. It's only when you're transmitting data that drains more battery. Not sure if that's where you're coming from to want to turn off data connection

number16, my savior! i'll try to explain as best i can: when the data connection is started/being used, those left-right arrows appear above the signal strength, correct? what i call "active" is when those arrows are lit (presumably when data is actually being transferred). what i call "dormant" is when the arrows are still there but are gray/not lit (i.e. connection is still open, but not currently transferring data). well, up until a 2 wks ago, all seemed fine - the arrows would briefly stay lit when downloading a page, connecting to hotmail, etc, but then would go gray once the transfer was complete. now however, the arrows stay lit. sometimes for hours at a time even tho nothing is running, no data (that i know of) is being transferred, etc.
so what i was saying is that, yes, i know i can long-press-end key to shut it down, but that only works if i notice it otherwise it's just draining my battery. (most times it is in my pocket, and since it checks hotmail periodically, the data connection may open and stay on without me noticing). and yes, i know about advanced config setting (and actually, i DO have it set to turn off after a minute) BUT that only applies if "connection is not active for more than a minute". i.e. since my whole problem is that my data connection technically stays active, that advanced config setting doesnt work.
so my question is, what is keeping the connection active? why is it doing this? i am running stock ROM and only have spb mobile shell and spb phone suite loaded. and a few other minor tweaks via advanced config/regedit. i even tried spb wireless monitor to see what was active after a data transfer was complete (as far as i could tell) but it didnt really tell me anything.
does all that make sense?
thanks for any help you can provide...

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\ConnMgr\Planner\Settings\
the 1st key is CacheTime the number denotes the number of seconds to wait before the auto disconnect
set it to: 60
the 2nd key is Multiline value / String SuspendResume which can have 2 values
set it to: GPRS_bye_if_device_off

i got the first line, where do i fine multiline?
A quick method - create a bogus connection for GPRS and set that as default
Settings\All Settings\Connections\Connections\Manage Existing Connections
Click New...
Enter a name... I used "Bogus Connection"
Select modem: Cellular Line
Enter the numner: Any bogus number - I used "12345678"
User Name: Anything
Password: leave blank
Domain: anything
Click OK. When back at your list of connections, select the bogus connection radio button. Whenever a program tries to access the internet and there is no WiFi, the phone will now prompt you to enter the password for the bogus connection. Re-enabling the actual GPRS connection is easy - just select the correct radio button.
Hi everyone,
I've got a similar problem. My Diamon 2 keeps connecting to SFR's wap through the EDGE network everytime I open TomTom for some strange reason...
I've just tried the woraround that Larry suggested but it didn't work for me. My phone still connects to SFR's WAP .
Maybe the easiest thing for me would be to flash HSPL and then a stock HTC ROM. Do you think it would help?
Installing a stock HTC ROM solved my problem so it looks like it was all down to the SFR customized ROM...
Modaco NoData seems to keep closing itself on my Topaz. I've tried adding to exclusive programs list in Task Manager but that doesn't help - it still keeps shutting itself down for some reason.
No idea why, getting frustrated now. Why can't WM handle data connections like Symbian...
