Hi there,
I got a problem which I would like to share with you. When using skype with a GPRS conn, the program do not initiate a connection. If it is using WiFi, then it works with no problems. If I have initiated a GPRS conn with some other program, i.e. browsing with my opera browser, then skype connects with no problems to the allready initiated GPRS conn. What can cause this?
Thanks in advance.
skype over gprs?
would this even work, skype needs a broadband speed connection to work and skype do not support calls over gprs, maybe this is why
Skype will only work over wifi or 3G, it will not work over GPRS.

3G or HSPDA - just the same. Skype do not initiate any conn. To be able to log in I must, at first, start a browser, open a page, keep the conn alive and then to log in with Skype
When you first ran it, did you set it to only connect on WiFi?
Log into Skype, then go to Menu > Settings
Scroll down to Connection
In Connection Method, does it say WiFi and 3G, or Use Wifi only?
If connected using WiFi only is selected, it may refuse to initiate a 3G connection, but will happily use on if its already active.

Yes, I have selected both WiFi and 3G and I see the screen warning me that Skype is going to use a 3G conn. The problem is that Skype do not initiate any conn, just use any if it is already initiated. WiFi conn is switched on manually by the user, not Skype. Same is with 3G - it must be initiated previously from some other program and Skype just uses it. Further more, if 3G conn is closed while using SKype, then Skype can not initiate it again. All this is too strange for me. I uninstalled Skype, deleted all files connected with it, checked registry for strings that might be in use from Skype, then installed it again and nothing changed. I have no other installed programs for handling internet connections, just those that come built in with my PPC.
I had this problem with another program that wouldn't initiate the connection. I checked my connection settings, and it was set to automatically dial MEdia Net (since i use AT&T) and I switched it to automatically dial My ISP GPRS and ever since, my programs have been dialing fine.
hey man i had the same issues i went in to conection settings and changed them to media net becouse thats what i use thats in conections then conections advanced select networks i also disabled my proxy in conections 2 and it worked for me dont know witch one of those did it for me but that should get you in the right direction
Yeah, you have to select media net as default, and disable the proxy.
The proxy is the one that's preventing you from connecting. Other programs figure it out but some don't bother and can't connect.
hey sorry if i'm hijacking ur thread but
I was curious if anyone knows about this. I'm not using a 3g connection as well. My skype gives me the option of using a "cellular" connection, but it doesn't show it connecting to my edge or gprs. I was curious as to whether anyone know if it's edge or gprs? (trying to find out if it's using minutes or whatever.. a connection besides edge n grps)
Thanks for your time
Hi, I got my TyTNII (kaiser) on saturday and have just managed to sort out the wireless client at work.
I don't get free bandwidth from Orange so don't really want to be using my Orange web connection when I am actually connected to wifi at work. How can i set my phone to use wireless when it is connected rather than trying to open even more connections? Its really annoying as it keeps checking my email accounts and using HSDPA to do so.
Internet Explorer wont even use the Wifi
what use is a phone with wifi if it wont actually use the wifi to access the internet?
Could someone point me at the settings. There must be a setting somewhere to get it to use the connection!

I have had no problem using WiFi with IE or any other browser. I always connect to my router via Comm Manager first (enable WiFi) and then open IE or another browser and surf the net.
Just click on the network card tab when setting up wifi and make sure that the card is set to connect to "the internet".
Your device will use a valid wifi connection if its available (before trying gprs/3g)
You may also try installing a CAB called "NoData" or "KasierTweak" that will allow you to temporarily disable data services other than your Wifi. This is what I use since I am not on a data plan (yet) with AT&T.

ah yeah - just found this - it was set to 'work' simply because its my connection at work. obviously WM counts that has being different to 'the internet'
seems okay now.
Thanks for the help
If you have an active wireless connection, it will automatically use that connection instead of your data connection regardless.
Hi guys
I've got a question regarding the diamond, though it could also be possible that this is only a windows mobile question. Is it possible to *only* allow data-connections via WLAN and *not* GPRS/UMTS/whatsoever? I want to use this thing at home and at university but how does the diamond know which connection it should use? I don't want any byte sent to my provider which is quite expensive. What happens if I open Opera and WLAN is not connected? Does it auto-connect with $money-printing-machine-for-o2 or does it then tell me "hey, you are not connected. try within a WLAN-cloud"?
Thanks

if you remove the isp settings for gprs/3g/whatever
it will never use it for data
Ah, thanks! This is what I always did with my old mobiles. I thought you had to do a magic dance with wm to achieve what I wanted.
Does anyone know anyway to get opera to ask which connection to use when I fire it up?
I have search already but have only found something about 'My Work Connection' but that does'nt work.
Like th OP stated but I need to keep the data settings so I can use them when WIFI is not available.
Thanks in advance

Is there any utility like this?
Is there any utility, which will do the next:
If any program want to conect to internet it will ask me first how do I want to connect: Wi-Fi, 3g, GPRS? And I will choose...
I'm also looking for a solution for this problem.
Currently I has diabled the mobile data traffic by choosing an unconfigurated network at the "Programs that connects automaticly to Internet should connect with" screen.
This is fairy ok due to me rarly using other networks than wifi. But IF I do, I don't want to have to mess around with the network settings. I want an "choose your network" popup message.
Hi
I just finished setting up Wifi and it works perfect. Is there any way i can make the Diamond use the Wifi connection for programs if such connection exist? Currently it alwasy open a 3G connection even if Wifi is enabled, which kinda sucks, since 3G traffic dont come cheap
So what i want is, if Wifi connection exist use that, else open a 3G connection.
Best regards
Mads
Yes, there is a way. Just go to settings-->connectins tab-->connections-->advanced tab-->select networks and select the one you want to use.
In WIFI settings you have to select the same connection at the "connect to" option!

Hi demacus
Thanks for the reply, but I have some trouble following you guide. First in my Select networks I have to networks, “3” and “Arbejde”. 3 is the name of my ISP and the one that’s currently selected to be used by programs needing access to the internet. In my Wifi “Connect To” option I can’t select the “3” I can only select between “Arbejde” and “Internet” which is just to default networks.
So my question is still the same, how do I make the diamond use a wifi connection if one is present else enable a 3G connection and use that.
Best regards
Mads
Err... in my case, the way it works is.. if I connect to the Wifi, then 3g gets disabled for as long as I am connected to a Wifi network..
If Wifi is available and you ARE CONNECTED (just available isn't good enough, you have to be connected), my Touch Diamond doesn't use the 3G.

Select Connect to The Internet
Hey L o r d R a j
The Internet option i am talking about have a description saying that its for use when connection to a VPN connection. My Wifi is active and if i change the setting in the Connection tab to use "Mit Arbejdsnetværk" the wifi works perfect for the browser etc.
Not sure what I or the danish rom i have is doing wrong. But i cant get it to use the wifi if its there, if not use the 3G.
If anyone have any ideas please let me know, thanks
Best regards

while i thank you for the input i wanted network data connection, not the transfer of files. ie i want to tether the lumia to a nexus sharing its data connection over bluetooth rather than wifi.
sorry i not realize post wrong link

To use the shared data connection over Bluetooth, the device you're using must support the Bluetooth Personal Area Network User (PANU) role. To find out if your Bluetooth device supports this, check the documentation that came with it or check the manufacturer's website. To learn more about Bluetooth personal area networks (PAN) in general, check out the Microsoft Windows website.
Pair your phone with the Bluetooth device and connect to it over Bluetooth.
In the App list, tap Settings Settings icon > Internet sharing.
Tap Share over, and then tap Bluetooth.
Set Sharing to On Toggle On icon.
again i thank you but im trying to share the connection the other way around. i dont think its possible but hoping ive just missed something.
