GPS/E-mail Questions

Hey Guys,
I am pretty much all set up. Thanks to all the help and information i was able to Flash it to Helimis Big Storage Dynamic version, added some programs. All works great. Only outstanding items:
E-mail -When i set up gmail pop connection it doesnt seem to connect to gather the messaages on 3g/Edge serivce. However, i did a test and turned on the wireless connection in the comm manager. As soon as i have done this Gmail POP3 works like a charm. As soon as i disconnect the problem persists. I have 39.99 3g data plan. Should the mail work through this data plan? or do i need to always switch to wireless in order to recieve mail? (HIGHly doubt it)
GPS- I have yet to put tomtom on, but i tried my google maps. It "worked" great at one point, I ran Quick GPS and it was able to triangulate my location (get a lock signal -7-8 satelaties), but now it doesnt work. I know i read somewhere not to mess with external GPS, but i switched to COM port 2 but i never un-checked the "auto-config GPS". Do you know what could be causing it not lock in onto my location now. I think it actually did work after i changed to COM2.
COMmanager - i updated my comm manager to duttythroy 10 button version. It has a 3g button to disable it since it drains a lot of battery power. However, how do i disable the GPRS/EDGE doesnt it drain power as well? i see in the Kaiser section there is also duttythroy_data_disconnection+_hspda-switch.cab (what will this exactly doo?)
Thanks all.
Other than these my TILT is amazing.. loving it.. Thanks to everyone who posted and helped.

e-mail: Does web browsing work? If so, then you might have a server setup problem. If not, call AT&T's support and ask for the PDA help group.
GPS: In my case the GPS is COM4: and 4800 baud. You can set this in "Start", "Settings", "External GPS", then let Google use the "Use Windows Settings" checkbox.
COMmanager: Use Bandswitch instead. Works much better. Latest is 2.4.2, and much be purchased, but worth every penny. (30 day trial I think tho)

GPS: - do you put this under Program or Hardware tab? Or do i put com 4 port in both places
E-mail - internet works.. So i guess Server setup problem?
COMmanager- I just took a quick glance at Bandswitch. It seems that it can do everything that ComManager + Kaiser Tweak (kaiser can set time to termination of data connection. My question is.. in the com manager- you can terminate 3g, but GPRS turns on.. does GPRS drain battery? should there be another button to turn off GPRS too?

contact importer
Also anyone know whats a good contact importer. I have a CSV file with 138 entries similar to this one.
Type FirstName Last Name Mobile Home Office -1 IVAN Peters 16462366421

Email: For gmail, i put "recent:" in front of my email addy so it would be recent:[email protected] That should make it work.

Thanks for the advice it already has rescent in it. It works when i turn on wifi, so all settings are correct. It simply doesnt work with 3G (and wifi off).
Any ideas on contact importer?

Another question, how do you set it so that all forms of links start Opera instead of internet explorer.

I would love to know the answer to that one. I can only get Opera to run if I click the Java link, then copy/paste my links over. Quite tedious.
I would also like a 1-click way to start Opera....

download the opera mini and selector link...copy and save the opera mini link to windows/start menu/programs folder then copy the selector file to windows/Appdb folder then you'll be able to set the Interenet explorer button in button settings to opera...this is also assuming you are using jbed java midlet...i'm not sure if it works on other java midlet managers...cheers...

Opera issues
Hey guys, i dont know what happened, but now all the sudden when i use Opera EVERY link i click on i end up loosing Medianet connection and it trys to re-establish it. It ultimatelly suceeds and loads the page... but this does not happen with Internet Explorer (everything works fine there). I also have KaiserTweak set to disconnect internet after 1 min of inactive use.. but its definatelly not that.. since i am active during my "test" browsing period. (which i did)
Any ideas.. i mean ITS Extremelly SLOW (sometimes 4 attempts to re-establish connection) and annoying.. It is also weird that it does actually make the 3g connection but then it breaks for no reason (tested in various locations)
Thanks for previous help - all those problems been solved - Except linking opera to all links (i click on) -> I am reading the trade posted in this thread about it.
- Question though.. i dont need to place a link into windows folder i guess since when i click explorer softkey it automatically opens Java Midlet. Or do i still need to perform that step?

I'm not sure whats causing your disconnect i never have that issue...but about your question...with the opera shortcut in your start menu it skips the step of opening your midlet manager then clicking on opera...then when you put that selector file in your windows folder its never asks for permission to remember your session and whatnot...it just goes straight to the home page in opera...

How to disable GPRS totally?

i was trying out the broswer via my home wifi. Haf way thru, i noted that my GPRS was also running concurrently with my wifi connection. is there ny way to diable GPRS totally as it will incurred charges.
I have disabled the auto detection of GPRS in the advance config.

Start> Settings> Connections tab>Connections> Advanced tab> Select Networks> Change both options to "My Work Network"

Thanks. Had done the above.

or you can use BandSwitch monitor... to prevent also unwanted data connection

Or you can install the "No Data" app.

How to stop 3G auto-connect ?

Hi,
Tried googling & forum search with no luck.
As per the subject, is it possible to stop windows mobile to auto-connect to 3G/GPRS when a program requires internet connection?
- I'd like to have a confirmation before attempting to connect 3G.
- If Wifi is present, use Wifi instead of 3G.
Is there any program/tweaks to do the above ?
thanks in advance

use an application called modaco NO DATA

Wheras I have seen you post this link in a few other threads, I would like to know WHY this auto connect is happening. Is it due just to the new WM 6.1 update or an application change.
I am suffering from this annoying connection and have stock HTC WM6.1 (latest)
The new Mobimate Worldmate Live (which is my prime suspect) with auto update disabled!
and Resco Explorer (which checks for registration but was OK before WM6.1).
No auto email checks or pushmail setup.
???

autoconnect is a feature in all ppc windows since wm5
it can be annoying for some of us but for some people it is a bliss cuz they need to be connected 24/7
use a 3rd party and toggle off/on between connections - do it the hard way

advanced configuration that is available on this forum has a timer that will disconnect after so many seconds of non-use, plus a bunch of other settings.

I think the thing that bugs me the most is I would like to know WHAT is trying to auto connect.
In Symbian phones you get a little pop-up that tells you the app that is trying to connect and do you wish to give it permission now and for the future, in WM you have no idea and whatever it is as it does not show up in task manager.

How to choose connection access point for youtube application?

I have following problem:
Normally i should use wap.vodafone.de-connection to access internet-that's the only one listed in Start-Settings-Connection-Connections. But apparently my youtube-application uses web.vodafone.de connection to access internet - i know that because i received an sms from vodafone that i should use the right connection access point(wap.vodafone.de not web.vodafone.de). So the question is - how to change it? I havent' found any similar threads in this forum or connection-settings in youtube-application.

Change connection settings, or remove the web apn.

Change connection settings where?? In Start->Settings->Connections->Connections i have only one(the right one).

Hmm there usually are some there.
Settings-connections-connections and the Advanced tab.
In select network, you find a list, select the ones to edit/remove.
When editing you get in the middle 'modem' tab. ONe tab on the left is general, you have button 'remove settings' there.
You can also edit them to use the other apn.
It's a bit unlogical, I really never understood how this really works

Yehh! Thanks! Pretty unlogical but now i have a clue.

Problem with USBtoPC ActiveSync

Hi,
I am pretty sure someone already faced this problem, but I could not find the related thread.
Normally if I connect my phone to my PC using USB, I have been asked which kind of connection I would like to have.
I always chose active sync and did not care about the other ones.
Last time I was tried internet connection sharing, that was a bad choice :-(
Since this time the pop up is gone and I have no possibility to switch back to active sync. It always opens the internet connection sharing. I already tried to change the setting in the usb2pc menu, but that does not help.
I am using the ROM "Gen.Y Manila by yozgatg" with TouchFLO 3D 2.1.38658.0 VGA.
Thanks!
AdmiralX

Please. anyone HELP!!
;-)

finally I got to popup back and can select active sync or external disc.
but only the external disc is working, if i select active sync the windows pc is still trying to start the internet connection sharing.
if no one can help, does anyone know a forum where I could get help?

Go into Settings -> Connections -> USB to PC, there you can enable the selection screen again

finally I found a solution, I had to change three different registry keys and deactivate fast data sync (was working with this option enabled before).

hi..is there a way we can choose activesync while fone is locked on password and stop it from going into diskdrive mode?

if you do Twabi2's suggestion the other way around and select acive sync once,
it should be possible.
