Hi All,
Just got my corporate SIM card enabled for GPRS.
I'm using it in an ex-T-mobile Wizard.
Could someone advise on setting up GPRS for data and MMS?
I've found the HTC configuration Wizard but it doesn't seem to do much, although first time I ran it, it removed my MMS so I had to reinstall!
Given I'm not sure GPRS has actually been turned on, can anyone have a look at their connection settings and advise what they should be?
I'm assuming I'll need to configure:
one connection for GPRS MMS
one for GPRS internet.
Should they both be under Work or ISP connections?
How can I tell my phone to use WiFi if available first, then GPRS?
Does the GPRS icon on the top of the display appear regardless of whether GRPS is configured correctly - i.e. just indicate that GPRS enabled on SIM and available in the area?
Any tips much appreciated.
I was wondering if theres a program for windows mobile or a way to automatically configure network settings for a wireless network. For example, my school has a wireless network setup but it requires a software package which is not available for wm6 to connect to the internet. I found a simple workaround; all you have to do is to manually change the DNS address . However, when I change the DNS address for use at school, the internet obviously no longer works at home since windows mobile is using the same DNS setting on the WLAN adapter no matter what wireless network it sees. I know my old Nokia N80 and the iPhone have software that allow you to configure settings for each network so that the connection is seamless, so there HAS to be someway to do the same thing for wm6. Thanks in advance!
Wifi Profiles
never tried myself, but here on the forum is a tool for different wifiprofiles
hope that helps
cheers
PhoneAlarm
PhoneAlarm from www.pocketmax.net has network profile support, you can use it with cell tower ID to switch the profile when you are in the vicinity of the school and then back to home when you arrive.
Hi i configured the wifi connection for my home and it's all ok
then i have with my phone company (3g Italy) internet connection included in subscription
but i want know what i set to change automatically the internet connection on the 3G when the wifi is not available.
Regards
Francesco
When no wifi connection is available, it should automatically revert to either 2g or 3g connection (whichever is available). If this doesn't work automatically, you can consider downloading and purchasing commmgrpro (www.commmgrpro.com) and using it to either turn wifi on when you are in a specific cel area (or time of day), or prioritize your data connections manually. There are lots of other features to this program - I find it indispensible.
Good luck.

Hello,
I have no problem connecting to my VPN using PPTP over both WiFi and 3G.
The problem I am having is that when I use the 3G connection and VPN http requests are not routed through the VPN connection. When using the WiFi connection everything works as expected and http request are routed to my corporate network.
Now, I have set up the URL exceptions and think that I've done everything else I am supposed to (but obviously not). Does ANYONE know which registry settings need to be tweaked to force all traffic (or even just http) to use the VPN when connected to 3G?
Thanks in advance, Maxim.
Hi guys!
I have a Touch Diamond 2. It's great and certainly an upgrade from my Touch Cruise!
I have a strange problem though. Whenever I try to connect through 3G (T-Mobile Netherlands), immediatly after it makes the connection, it gives the dialog 'cannot connect etc'. 3G is truly connected but no data is coming in.
Now I have found where the problem lies, sort of. 3G works fine when I don't configure my home Wifi connection. Whenever I configure that, 3G stops working. It doesn't matter if Wifi is turned on or off. 3G does have a dynamic ip, where my Wifi connection requires a static IP. But I make all these settings in the Wifi part of the configuration screen, the IP details are under the 802.11 b/g network card.
This used to work flawlessy on my Cruise. Anyone have a solution? Thanks!
good morning. as you are with tmobile i'd suggest you are having the same problems as me with tmobile uk. for some reason tmobile sets up a proxy server in your 3g data connection setup, this caused huge problems for me but clearing it solved them all.
try this first and see how you go.
Possible, but where exactly do I change the proxy settings of the 3G connection?

Hey that's a coincidence, just read the same question at GoT
I have similar problems.
Now and than my HSDPA connection works good, but at some moment I just can't reach any website.
Disconnecting and reconnecting to HSDPA sometimes helps, and sometimes I just have to wait a few minutes and than it works again.
I also tried another DNS (OpenDNS) but it doesn't solve the problem,
Proxy settings can be found at (I assume your dutch):
Instellingen> Meer> Verbindingen> Verbindingen> Mijn proxyserver instellen
At my TD2 is no proxy set, so thats not the cause.
Hope sombody else can help!
Do you have a static IP for WIFI as well? I kinda found out that setting WIFI on dynamic IP solves the 3G problem, so somehow they must be connected. But this should be able to work, it's almost as if 3G 'takes over' the static IP from the WIFI settings, but the connection settings from my 3G are offcourse set to dynamic.
I had exactly the same problem with my D2. I also had it on my Cruise with the later ROMs. The official HTC 6.1 ROM did not have this problem.
I experience it when I set up my wifi 802.11b/g network card in the phone to have a static IP address and set the default gateway. If I use DHCP there is no problem.
Setting the wifi card up on the phone DEFINITELY screws up the cellular data connection.

I use a dynamic IP, for me it doesn't work.
With my dear old Wizard (MDA Vario) I had no problem at all with the same settings!
yup thought i was the only one with this problem need a fix for it soon man otherwise we are gettin bumped for not havin the settings coz we on t-mobile
I solved it temporarily by setting Wifi to dynamic IP, but this prevents me from connecting at work. I'll send HTC an e-mail, let's see if they are willing to hot-fix this one
for me i find that the web sites work but any app that requires to go online ie facebook, msn, sky fire etc jus dont work wen you try to connect online......... stupid t-mobile
My connection problems are gone.
Maybe I (we) encountered hickups with the T-Mobile proxy-server....
maybe You can help me.
I have a MDA V (germany T-Mobile) and i can not connect to my AP here at Home.
I have a ASUS WL500g configured as AP behind my Firewall/Router. All other device in my house, a Laptop, a Netbook and a 'WII' working fine!
All get the IP from the Router, the AP works transparent.
D2 will not connect. The Mac-Address from the D2 is configured in the AP, and i can see the router statuspage and see the MAC of the D2 sometimes in the list. But only as "associated" and never as "associated authorized" as the Laptop here in example:
-------------------------------------------------
Stations List:
-------------
00:23:76:yy:xx:xx associated <-D2
00:1C:BF:yy:xx:xx associated authorized <- Laptop
--------------------------------------------------
I configured a lot in the settings, but i cant get the D2 online with wifi.
Can someone plz help a bit?
-
other question: if i manage the problem some day, is it possible to configure the Networksettings of the D2 device in the way that the device only use USB and te WiFI-Connection to access the internet? I hat it that the device use mobile-internet connection without asking me to do so.
Same problem

I was experiencing the same problem, only with the difference that I am using 3 different Wi-Fi adapter settings every day (for 3 different networks - two with fixed IP and one with DHCP enabled. Most elegant solution that I came up with was a small, but very handy application called "WiFi Profiles". Settings for WiFi adapter are easily changed by choosing a profile that you want to use and applying it. Before you disconnect from WiFi network, you just set adapter to DHCP, and after that your GPRS/3G/HSDPA connection works like a charm. By the way, I am proud owner of Touch HD but I am using Dutty`s Topaz based rom V3.4 XTREME SHIP.
