Need an automatic ping tool for keeping network connection alive

Hello,
i have a data option at vodafone germany with 200 MB Traffic inclusive. But there is a problem: Vodafone counts the traffic in 100kb Parts and terminates the connection if there is no data transfer for some minutes (mostly about 8 minutes)
I use the exchage Email push and there is no constand data traffic. Only when an email arrives or when the exchange sends a timeout.
So Vodafone terminates the internet connection, active sync recognized it and starts the connection again. That would be no real problem, but every connection is a new 100kb part.
So i've got about 30MB Traffic after 2 days only for reconnecting. That is not really good for my inclusive traffic.
So i need a tool like an automatic ping. A program, which sends every x minutes a ping so that there is a minimal traffic and vodafone keeps the connection alive.
Is there such a tool? It could also be a tool, which looks for updates every 5 minutes The program only have to do a little traffic.
Because the connection is termindated by vodafone, no kaiser reg tweak is working.
I hope you can help me.
Thank you in advance

It's well known that Windows Mobile cuts off the connection after some minutes. But I've never heared that a provider cuts off the connection after some minutes without data. Are you really sure about that? A good provider wouldn't do that... ;-)
I've already had a similar problem with my old S200. It disconnected after some hours. But that wasn't a problem with the provider. It was a problem with the ROM update.
Nevertheless at that time I've also searched for a ping tool. I wrote a little Mort-Script (with logging feature) and executed it with SkSchema every hour. Since you are needing smaller intervals this could be a problem. It is a little bit hard to use SkSchema for small intervals. Here is the script:
Code:
If( InternetConnected("http://www.google.de/") )
Chk = "OK"
Else
Chk = "Off"
EndIf
FmDate = FormatTime( "Y-m-d" )
FmTime = FormatTime( "H:i:s" )
FmName = FormatTime( "ymd" )
LogText = FmDate & ", " & FmTime & ", " & Chk & ", time^NL^"
LogFile = "\My Documents\MortScript\Conn\Conn_" & FmName & ".log"
WriteFile( LogFile, LogText, 1 )
Exit
Another solution could be this tool:

or, use vxUtil. see the Wiki for my related mass Ping tutorial

So, up again.
Is there no real solution for my problem?
No little simple program?

Hi. Use Bandswitch to keep your connection "always-on".

Thank you, nice program, but i have a problem: When the TyTn II is in standby mode (after pushing the power button once) the programs stops sending pings. When i turn on the tytn again, the ping sending continuous.
Is it possible to send also pings when the device is in standby?

Have you already tried the program I've mentioned in the post #2?

http://www.wizcode.com/products/view/gprs_keep_alive

Exact the program i was thinking about. But i have the same problem: The program works great if the kaiser is on. But when it is in standby mode (about 80 % of the day) the program stops to work as long as the kaiser is in standby.
Is there a way to define if a program should stop at standby or not? I mean the HTC Music Player also works in standby mode.
Thank you

App to disconnect internet after timeout wanted

Hi all, appologies if this has been asked else where, I have looked.
Ok so heres my prob, I have unlimited (ok 1Gb) monthly internet on my contract so I've set my tytn2 to download emails automatically. The thing is that it ends up leaving the 3G connection on after its finished which seems to take it's toll on my battery life.
Is there an app avaliable that will either modify the email app and disconnect after it's finished or monitor my 3G connection and dissconnect if it's not tansferred data for say 5mins for example?
Thanks to all btw, I love this forum, wonderfull resources and techy info

Have you tried KaiserTweak? There is a "Disconnect After" setting...

My Mobile bill explode!!!help?????????

Hi i've got my diamond for a few days an now my mobile bill explode, because i've opened googlemaps application, wich dowloads in 10 min. ca. 5 mb mapsmaterials. So my bill is going huge.....I thought, that my Diamond will aks me, when it use the mobile service to connect to the i-net. But it did'nt, so i need held.
I'm looking for a program, which ask me everytime when my mobilephone will connect to the i-net with the mobileconnection, if i want this or not....or better which way to connect it should use(when WiFi is aviable)???
So does anybody know of a program like this....or could write it...?
looking forward

Carriers always like that because you get billed without knowing it. Use Modaco Nodata to block internet usage. Call the carrier and say you didn't know and they will probably let you go this one time.

Just install diamond tweaks http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=409540
There is a setting to turn your mobile internet on and off as you please.

Hey guys
i use this internet page since last week and i know a lot more about my diamond and have found a lot of great applications...this forum is great...
and thank you for your great and fast answers and the great tipps...
i think i love this forum.....

or use spb gprs monitor to monitor your data usage. great application which enables u to get reports on how much you've used every day/week/month, and alerts when you've use more than an amount of data you have specified. You can also enter the rate at which you are being charged per MB (or per month if u have a fixed allowance) and it will tell you the cost of what you've used.
I have used it for the past three years - it does not cost much and it is a great investment.

Ohh okay... ithink i will test it..in time i use diamond tweaks great tool but i would like it if my mobile connection is turned off and if any programm will start the connection, a tool ask me which connection should be used (wifi or mobile) and i have to click okay when only my mobile is aviable...does anybody know of an Programm like this...?
Diamond tweaks have the problem that u have to turn it on and off how you need it, so you have to start the Programm every time.............................not so comfortable

Does your carrier have an unlimited data package? That would solve everything...

or get an unlimited data package from your service provider and then you dont need to worry...

that's sounds nice but i'm student and not millionaire........

I think that it's a murder to buy a device like Diamond without having at least a small dataplan. It's a very web oriented device, so go to look a volume data plan...even small...you will enjoy much more. Find a little job and go for a dataplan

I pay €9,95 a month to get unlimited internet access. It'd take me 100503 months, or 8375 years, to pay a million for unlimited internet. Somehow, I don't think I'm gonna make that...

*cut* dang, double post :S

use monaco nodata software

Data Usage Monitor

Going to Norway, Sweden and Finland for about a month. Plan on using the Tilt for GPS navigation using tomtom.
I got a plan put on my phone that gives me 20MB per month roaming data internationally. After that it's a total screwjob in Scandinavia at about $20 per additional mb.
SO . . . I'm looking for:
1. recommendations for an unobtrusive cab that will allow me to track my total data usage out of my Tilt so that I can avoid overages (freeware would be nice, but not required). Have SPB MS 2.1 & SPB PP 4.0
2. way to make sure various little polling cabs are not sucking up bandwidth (w/o hunting down and uninstalling everyone). Can I do something to my data connection but still use GPS for tom tom?
3. What kind of data usage am I likely to see trying to use tomtom for GPS? Will probably drive about 2500km in 7 days using it most of the driving time if possible. I know using google maps or WinMo live search would blow me out of the water.
Thanks for the input!

Data monitoring:
Battery Status, Spb GPRS Monitor, ... both are great, Battery status has also some other useful options
Dont know for sure, but I think tomtom is not using data connection, so u can use your gps without data plan. Just download (purchase) maps of the countries u are going through and u can use gps.

3) For simple navigation with tomtom, you don't need any data connection because te use of gps data is free for everyone.
You need a connection only for the optional services like traffic, mapshare, meteo, etc. but not for basic navigation

You can also use Schaps AdvConfig or the previous Kaiser Tweak to completely disable data connections, and then only enable them when you want access. It might take an extra 15 seconds before you start browsing each time, but at least the data blocking is foolproof enough.

data counter software

I believe some kaiser comes with GPRS Monitoring software. Check your bundle. Actually it's made by SPB but customized for Kaiser.
As usual, Google is your friend, and you can do a little search first. I did 'data monitor kaiser xda' and turned out the very program I used: SPB Monitor (which is the upgrade of GPRS monitor).

I use SPB Monitor since long time ago, work great. Can do calculation how much uyou have to pay for your connection too
