This wasn't a problem on my Hermes, but for some reason, even when I have a live wifi connection my Kaiser says there is no data connection because I don't have my SIM card in.
Is there a setting I am missing?
Is there a registry entry that allows you to open up the SIM door without turning off the phone?
It seems strange that they would make data connections contingent on having a SIM card when the phone has WiFi as well.

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.
Hi all,
Got a stange issue. I have the MDAcIV (basically a diamond) on the UK T-Mobile contract.
I've setup my Gmail account to send/retrieve and over wifi it works perfectly, however if I disable my wifi connection, I expect the email to sync over GPRS, but I keep getting a sync error saying check your connections etc.
Anyway checked all my connections and it works fine over GPRS in browser, weather, and any other app requiring internet connection, just not email.
Gone through the email settings and under advanced server settings, under Network Connection it's set to "The Internet".
If I change this to "T-Mobile Internet", and then try to sync with wifi OFF, the GPRS kicks in and starts syncing.
I then stopped the GPRS connection, switched on wifi, and tried to sync again, but instead of using the connected wifi, it starts a GPRS connection.
Strange!
So in summary:
Network Connection: The Internet
WiFi OFF
GPRS ON
Sync fails over GPRS
Network Connection: T-Mobile Internet
WiFi ON
GPRS OFF
Syncs over GPRS instead of existing wifi connection
Anyone else have similar experience?
Thanks
I got a similar one:
I'm using Active Sync via HSDPA/GPRS to get my mails pushed (Exchange 2007 Server). Works like a charm and never have problems with it; used it for years with other WiMo devices.
Now, since I have my diamond (MDAc4 also) I can finally use WiFi, too. What I now experience is:
When I turn on Wifi, my cellular connection (HSDPA) stays active and when I turn it off manually via the comm manager it also turns off "PushMail" in comm manager. That basically sets active sync to "manual" instead of "when items arrive".
Though I am able to turn on push mail in comm manager again, as soon as an email arrives it starts to connect HSDPA again.
So basically I can not use wifi to save some MB of my data plan when I want to continue to get my emails. And this really sucks...
Only thing I can set up in the advanced connections in Active Sync is "Connection" where my only option is "Internet" -.- Meaning I can not differ between cellular and wifi. It kinda has to use the cellular connection...
long story short, dunno if that helps you with your problem now, sorry; but if anyone understands what I am talking about right here, maybe send me a pm or something, if you know how to fix that.

Definitely had this happen a fair few times, with the gprs failing to connect once or twice, and I've seen it on most of the roms.
I think WM doesn't set it's connection type correctly, so we don't get the seamless "use the best/cheapest/fastest connection available"
In fact, anyone know of any app that would just do that? As in try to connect to unsecured or secured wifi, followed by 3G/HSDPA, followed by GPRS?

I have exactly the same problem. If I want to get my e-mail the account setting has to be "T-Mobile Internet" unless I'm using wi-fi in which case I have to switch it to be "The Internet". Anyone know of a solution?
Is it possible that T-mobile are forcing you to use your Data connection rather than free Wifi ?
Hmmm nerf maybe?

Thanks for the reply. It could be but the phone doesn't even attempt to connect to mobile data it just pops up an error to say it can't connect with the existing data settings. Its not a T-mobile supplied handset although it did configure itself to use T-Mobile when I first put the SIM in.
Solution
After research and research I´ve finally found a solution. I´ll post some pictures of my settings so you can see yourself what you have to do.
The clou is to have only 1 connection for Wifi and GPRS/3G. WM now firstly checks if there is a Wifi connection and if not, it will connect to GPRS.
Got It
Just untick the box that says "This network uses a proxy server to connect to the internet" in the manage t-mobile Internet connections app.
Now works over Wifi if available, if not uses GPRS/3G
I have BlackBerry Connect installed on my phone which obviously uses its own HSDPA/3G/GPRS connection. I also have a Vodafone HSDPA/3G/GPRS connection I added manually. I have made the registry changes to allow multiple simultaneous HSDPA/3G/GPRS connections and this works fine - BlackBerry Connect uses its own connection and if I launch PIE the Vodafone connection opens up and I can browse the Internet using the Vodafone one.
When I have finished browsing however I would prefer to disconnect the Vodafone connection (I am not sure if I get charged for usage?). When I click the 'H' or '3G' icon at the top of the screen next to the phone signal icon I can see both the BlackBery & Vodafone connections connected however there is only a single 'Disconnect' button that when clicked disconnects both connections. I would prefer to leave the BlackBerry one connected. Is this possible?
Cheers

You have two connections open to the same provider? That sound like nonsense to me. Unless the Tilt can use two separate SIM cards at the same time, which I believe you have to switch between them rather than two at the same time, this sound like nonsense.

No, not nonsense at all. I originally thought as you did that I could only have either the BBConnect HSDPA/3G/GPRS or the Vodafone HSDPA/3G/GPRS connection active but not both at the same time (but then searched...). After some research I found that this was possible depending on you provider. Take a look at these threads:

The key word here is 'GPRSContextNumber'. EDIT: Actually search on 'Multiple APN' and you get even more hits...
Anyway back to my original question... Is there anyway to disconnect only one HSDPA/3G/GPRS connection instead of all active ones?

Close Network Connections
Hi,
Your post is old, but maybe you're still interested:
I have the same configuration with BBConnect and also wanted to close only the "other" data connection. Long search, no finding.
What I do now is I have an assignment to the red key long press to close all Internet Connections. This kills all non Wifi connections, also the BB. But BB re-establishes after some seconds on its own.
Have you found a better way?
BTW: it makes great sense to open several data connections on the same provider (if you have BB at least).
I have researched the site and have not found a answer for my situation.
I have an unlocked Fuze and a international sim chip from telestial with prepaid data.
http://www.telestial.com/view_product.php?PRODUCT_ID=MSIM-PPP2
The phone works fine, but I have a strange problem with the GPRS connection
When I manual connect to the GPRS, the sim connects to the pre-paid network. However, when I launch IE, Opera or any other data program, the sim disconnects and the program searches for a the pre install MEdia Net connection (which it obviously cant find) before disconnecting me and giving me the staple, "cant connect to network message".
I was told by telestial that HTC phones are sometimes "data locked".
Anyone have any ideas? I think I just need to change the connection being forced by the individual programs.
Hi all
is there any accessory to attached to the note to use usb sim card for data?
i mean in my country 3G internet service on mobile is very expensive , while usb internet is cheap. so is there any accessory to be attached to the note works as usb internet
not simultaniously as you have one modem/antenna for mobile networks, its technologically impossible. Not without another device,
oh thats what you want. Then I dont know, usb internet, isnt that with a mobile network also?
In Egypt, we have mobile sim card and supports internet service also but with very high rate
and we have usb modem sim card for internet with less rate for internet service
i read about an adapter to use 2 sim cards inside the phone, where i can use 1 sim for calls, and the other slot will insert the data sim card to use it for internet with the less internet service prices,
so is there any thing can do the same? even if it is external?
I remember reading this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1907597
I recommend you check if the devices mentioned allow data to be passed through from the usb module to the phone, instead of the phone passing it through via bluetooth to the module. That makes or brakes what you are looking for. The phone can tether bluetooth network for i. e. networking capabilities to laptop, but not sure if phone can browse internet the other way around.
So far several devices to research, In accessory section of this forum there some more threads, you can check them as well as device manufacturing websites
if it works, check additional battery as bluetooth in usage sips battery like koolaid, standby it depends but using it goes quickly.
happy hunting!
