When ever I connect my Tilt to the laptop and activesync is on, wifi is disabled on my phone, even though I have "allow wifi on device" checked...any ideas?
Not to familiar with tilt, but you should try using the htc comm manager.
I do recall having connectivity issues while my kaiser is connected to the comp but turning wifi on(manually), then connecting it gave me no problems. Htc comm manager makes it easy to manually turn on/off wlan and other devices
is that the same as wireless manager in connection settings?
Hmm dont have "wireless manager" in my kaiser connection settings.
But if your allowed to turn on/off wlan i guess you dont need the comm manager(even though its the most awesomess thing ever)
I'm having the same problem with my Kaiser.
I tried changing the 'this device connects to' setting in the connection properties of activesync, but that doesnt change anything. Also, when making a phone call the WLAN connection will be disconnected. After finishing the phone call, the WLAN connection is being re-established.
the option is not to allow wifi, but allow wireless connections to the GPRS network for VOIP and mms etc. Has nothing to do with Wifi.
This is normal. My advantage does it as well, and is likely one of microsofts usual unwanted changes 'for security reasons'!

I am having a problem that when i connect my phone to my work PC my media net 3g quits working.
I have changed the option in advanced connections, server selection, to use media net on both options but i am still getting no 3g/edge etc. Everytime i sync my phone it tries to use my PC connection as the active internet source.
What i want is to have my phone synced but still use my phones 3g internet on the phone and my LAN for my PC.
Can anybody help me figure out why my phone's internet is replaced by my PC's?
Thanks!
Under "Connection Settings" do you have the box checked that says, "Allow wireless connetion on device when connected to the desktop"?
Yes i do. And when i partnered with active sync i selected the option to allow internet calling etc.
It has to be a background issue. Afaik all the options are correct.
After a little further reasearch it appears that when i connect my phone to the computer the proxy server is changed to my work proxy. If i over ride it to the correct cingular proxy it still does not work.
Any help on this? It's getting annoying. It worked fine for a week then just quit working.
Ok, this was working fine on the original AT&T ROM, but since I flashed to dutty's ROM, I cant get it to work. How do I force the phone to use wifi for net access when wifi is turned on, as opposed to medianet? Currently, I have to keep manually switching from medianet to "my work connection" in connection settings.
You can use Kaiser Tweak to set it to disconnect the GPRS connection after a set amount of minutes of inactivity. Then, when you enable WiFi, it should connect ONLY to WiFi.
I think the OP needs to sort out his "work" and his "internet" instead of just trying to turn off radio data.
I have medianet set to internet and my wifi set to work...not really clear what "work" is....just want to automatically use wifi when wifi is connected, and cant find the option to do that.
Anybody???
I did set both connections to "work".
Additionally I added my tmobile gprs connection to the work profile.
All seems to work great.
I can acces my network shares over wifi and connect to the internet. When no wifi is available it connects via gprs.
I keep getting confused on this same issue. i installed the same rom we are talking about. it shows up for me when setting up email accounts. with my wifi turned on, it still tries to go out the 3g connection. I want it to use wifi if that is what is turned on and i think that was working on the death star rom. For the drop down that says "The Internet" I basically want that to point to wifi if on then fall back to 3g. How do we do that?
It should not be named "work".
So whats the solution here?
Under Connections....Select which networks are automatically used:
Programs that connect to the internet should connect using ???
I can either choose Medianet or my work network, I'd like for it to use wifi when available, how is this done?
Programs that connect to a private network should connect using ???
I have this set to my work network.
Easy Solution to 'Auto Wifi"
Buy an Iphone, works seemlessly, and you get a browser too which works, something these HTC phones havn't had in 3 years.
The easiest way to force wifi (since gprs can be acting as a ***** ), is to keep wlan enabled and to install the NOGPRS.cab (aka the modaco nodata plugin) which allows you to disable (but keep) the gprs settings and which you can toggle on (and back off) when needed.
Great little app, saves much annoyance!
Is there an easy way to toggle wi-fi on/off, that can be assigned to an icon or button? At the moment I have to open Comm Manager each time and do it from there.

I was wondering if there was a way to disable Media Net's automatic connecting whenever I open Internet explorer. I only use wifi for the internet. I disabled it using Kaiser tweak and that worked but then I cannot recieve MMS without MEdia Net enabled. I don't have a problem with it being enabled I just don't want it to automaticly start connecting. If it cant be disabled for everything but mms I would rather have a prompt.
Thanks.

EDIT: I should have read before posting. I'm not sure about the MMS part as I don't use the NODATA program. I was just thinking on the disabling data what I did for my moms phone. Sorry.
I tried that program and it has made it easer to enable/disable MEdia Net, but If there is a way to just make it not automatically connect that would be better. I really hate being charged for the data connection when I don't want to
Has nobody else wanted to get rid of the automatic connecting?
This is the way I disabled the automatic connection on my tilt with stock at&t rom. I don't know if it will work on other kaiser models/ roms since I'm still new with windows mobile (only had the tilt for a couple of months).
go to start>settings> connections tab.
select connections, go to advanced tab.
go to select networks.
On "programs that automatically connect to the internet should connect using:"
I changed it from MEdia NET to My Work Network (since I don't use a work network it is not set up). I also switched the second option to my work network just in case.
Since "my work network" was not set up, whenever internet explorer or any other program tries to connect, it will show a "cannot connect" error unless wifi is already activated. however I can still send/recieve MMS since the MEdia net is not disabled.
If you need to use MEdia net on IE you can just switch the opiton back to media net.
I'm still fairly new to windows mobile and my tilt, and I couldn't find a way to do this after searching for days, so i just kept messing with the connections settings until i found this. This is the first time I got a chance to help someone here so I hope it's what you're looking for!
Thanks a lot, it works great!
So I thought this worked but I relized when I make Media Net not auto connect I cannot send or recieve MMS. Is there a way to only allow messaging to auto connect and then disconnect when done?
um why dont you just go to your connection settings and delete your "my connection" its not hard
If I were to do that then I cannot send/receive MMS. That is the dilemma.
go to connections and switch it to "My ISP" and delete the gprs setting from "My ISP"
I am sure I have disabled all the AT&T data services by deleting all the MediaNet etc. settings through connections, and I have also toggled modaco nodata to disable everything.
When I connect Tilt to my laptop computer, it connects to internet automatically.. and when I disconnect, the internet is gone!
just out of curiosity? how is it possible? is the USB connection making use of some advanced feature here?
Yes. If activesync is on it is patching the computers internet into the phone via its USB connection.
Interesting.. thanks a lot.
Does any know why my wifi is turned on automaticly?
i dont think i have any programs that would require wifi access.
what about the quickGPS program, when the data runs out wouldn't it just use what connection i have open to collect new data?
if enabled in comm manager wifi will always connect to a router when your device wakes up
if it's disabled then sounds like a program enable it
a program I exp'd doing so is fring
suppose other programs you got running in the background
could do likewise
