Hi
I'm runing the latest version of Helmi BA WM2k5 AKU3.2 and have setup activesync to work with mail2web.com.
If I setup activesync to sync as items arrive everything works great via gprs.
The problem I have is if I activate wifi. After a few seconds activesync drops the wifi connection and dials gprs.
Is it possible to stop activesync dialing a gprs connection if there is an active wifi connection.

Push Mail can be used only with GPRS. If Push Mail is on, you cannot use WiFi.... (as I know)
Thank you for the response.
Guess i'll have to see if I can setup a profile (possibly using phoneAlarm) that turns off push email, turns on wifi and then sets ActiveSync to sync at 5 min intervals and then a profile to turn push email back on.
hi. how many kb's per day does GPRS uses with Push mail?
tks

What i do is using the activesync schedule. During working hours i set activesync to "as they arrive", on other hours i set it once per hour.
When working/on-the-road i can't use wifi anyway. And back home i can turn on wifi as i like, since pushmail is automaticly turned off via the activesync schedule.
Simple, but it works for me
I have been tryin to setup the mail2web.com but when i install the cab i get an error message that the install was unsuccessful.. what am i doing wrong

Has anybody tried these two options?
I've been playing with hotmail push (configuring windows live for getting emails "as they arrive"), but it seems to drain battery very fast... then I've changed configuration for checking email every 15 minutes...
Which option drains more battery?.... activesync exchange push configuration?, or hotmail checking every 15 minutes?
Thanks!
It's not pushmail that drains your battery it's your data connection.
Pushmail is only a piece of software that keeps an open connection to a mail server. No difference between hotmail and exchange pushmail.
HSDPA is using a hell of a lot more power then GPRS. Try switching HSDPA off and use GPRS instead.
I've disabled 3G, always use GPRS.... does HSDPA setting affect if I've disabled 3G???
Does Live Push work same way as Activesync push email?, maybe one of them uses more cpu, I dont know, the data connection may be open, but the programs running can do different things (Live vs AS), and therefore the battery drain...
If I use Windows live (items as arrive), everytime I soft reset the kaiser I get a lot of data connection errores until I enter my sim pin... continnnnnnnnuously... but this is not happening if you use Exchange push...
Sorry, this may be a dumb question...
How do you stop the Kaiser from accessing 3G (or WiFi) whilst connected to a PC via ActiveSync. So, duing the day it would use 3G, however when connected via ActivSync at night it would use the PC connection to the internet for all downloads, MS Exchange sync, etc
thanks!
There is a setting in activesync that will disallow all 'wireless' connections while the device is connected. In this case, I believe they mean 3g, gprs, wifi, etc. will all be disabled. It is under 'Connection Settings'.

For me, i would like the reverse.
I'm setting up activesync to connect to Exchange servers (mail2web), but in the connection settings, i can only see the choice "Internet" and nothing else (ie. my GPRS sets)
Thus, I can only get emails pushed to me when i am on WIFI, but not GPRS.
The only way i can make it happen is at START/SETTINGS/CONNECTIONS where i set "All programs that automatically connects to internet .." to my GPRS set, but not "MY WORK NETWORK"
but if i set it to my GPRS set, if i were to accidentally surf web when wifi is not on, it would incurr GPRS charges ..
any idea?
On the same topic...
I used to be able to surf the web on the HTC 8125, using the laptop's internet connection, using the USB cable. I can no longer do this? Any ideas? What happens now it that it the phone conects to GPRS automatically, apparently it can not detect the internet from the laptop...
Thx in advance.

is this setting perhaps the setting you need to turn on on your pc?
this allowed me to be active sync connected to my pc but the phone browsed via Cell Service rather than via my pc.

If your service provider uses a proxy setting on your phone to connect then you have to set up the same proxy in your web browser on your laptop.
Is there some way to force activesync to use the wifi connection only? When wifi isn't connected activesync and, i'm assuming other apps, revert back to 3G or GPRS. My data plan is crap so I'd prefer not to sync at all when I don't have wifi available. I'm using dutty's latest rom, btw.

Thats an old article and no longer works for local connections to your computer. When MS released WM5 and the new activesync (which WM5 requires) the feature to sync over WiFi was removed. We were left with with syncing over USB, Bluetooth. If you have an exchange server you can sync to it over WiFi (the only feature you loose is Push Email).
Thanks for the replies. I should clarify my situation though. I sync to an exchange server and an imap server with no problem. But I have it scheduled to sync on a regular basis. So, if wifi isn't available then activesync will automatically use my data connection. I'm looking for a way to have it only use wifi and never the data connection. If wifi isn't available, I don't want to sync.

Disable your data connections completely
Hi
I have a tytn 2 with standard HTC WM 6.1
All of a sudden,when i check e-mail with send/receive whilst i have an active wifi connection, the data connection activates to download the e-mail.
There is no problem with the internet connection as opera/IE works fine at the same time?
I cannot find any settings on e-mail allowing u to select which default connection to use.
It was working fine B4.
I tried HTC support in South Africa but they cannot help.
ANY IDEAS?

It's under advanced server settings when you set up, or edit, your mail account settings.
So that would be, at the messaging screen, hit menu, the options, then click on your account, hit next four times to get to the outgoing mail server screen, then hit advanced server settings, there is the network connection drop down. It's probably on media net right now. Click it over to the internet. That should fix it.
BRILLIANT
Thanks alot
Works perfectly now!
I wish HTC support was as clever as you!
Hi,
I'm using my htc kaiser with original wm6.1 rom.
Today I recognized that I'm not able to send/receive emails using my wlan connection. everthing else like latest verison of opera, quickGPS or skype is able to use my wlan connection to enter the internet.
To send/receive emails I normaly use my GPRS/HSDPA connection. this works fine but once I switch off my phone e.g. flight modus, I can open the email program and click on send/receive but nothing happens. I only get an error message telling me that no connection can be made and I should check if phone is on.
If phone is on and wlan is also on and I click on send/receive emails, my kaisers tries to establishe a GPRS/HSPDA connection to send/receive emails.
I want my kaiser to send/receive emails via wlan connection too.
Can anyone please help.
Thanks,
Stoneubi
