Hi,
Don't know if anyone else is experiancing this but i have activesync push email active and set to "as items arrive" and my peak times set up. When the end of day peak time comes round the mail stops syncing which is by design and cool but the 3G/GPRS data conection stays active (small icon on the signal bars). I have searched around but found nothing, basically i want to schedule the data connection to disconnect at the end of the day, and actually kill the open 3G connection...
Any ideas...?
I've looked at a few bits of software but currently it seems that all thats on offer is disconnect after x mins of inactivity or just disconnect after x mins, this is not really what im after and also these settings kills the similtanious voice and data connection which i don't want either....
If not i may look at writing this myself....
Try commgr pro @ www.commmgrpro.com. It's a fantastic program.

thanks for the suggestion, had another look around and this one is far the best and does exactly what i want it to do: (active sync been running allday/as items arrive via push email) stopping as per schedule in AS at 18:30 then at 18:35 kill/disconnect the gprs connection using this software via the device - #disconnect command, sweet

Hi _DrG_,
I totally agree with you about skschema . Its a great software that do just what i want, that is save my battery for example the night by deactivate the GSM (3G for Pushmail too).
Just a question: how do you deactivate only DataConnection but not GSM? Do you succeed in doing that? OR do you deactivate GSM so pushamil doesn't work ?
Thanks for your answer.
I'd use the reg file in this post I created earlier

Some of the more popular Profile Switchers ... like Phone Weaver (and probably PhoneAlarm) can do this.
For example I have a Night profile that turns on at 11:30pm that mutes the alert volume, lowers the phone ringer, dims the screen, and shuts off Push Mail.
At 5:30am the Day profile kicks in and turns everything back on.
From a communications standpoint PhoneWeaver can control Wifi, Bluetooth, Phone Radio, Push email, Default Internet Connection, and the cellular data connection.
check it out.
I also use PhoneWeaver to do this - great little app which also puts my phone onto vibrate during meetings etc.
Media Net Disconnect Program
Hello, I found these two programs to manually connect and disconnect from your network. I love the DataConnector program because it only requires you to launch the program and it takes care of the rest. The DataDisconnect, on the other hand, requires you to launch the program, select the network you want to disconnect, then press disconnect. I am using WisbarAdvanceDesktop2 and would like to be able to write a script that will launch dataconnector, update the weather (or whatever else), and then launch datadisconnect. I am hoping that someone here knows of a hands-off program that only requires the single tap of the execution file to disconnect from the network, or who could hack the datadisconnect program and make it hands-off.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,

Hi,
maby an app i use it's exactly what you are looking for. With this app you can schedule everything about your connection: it allows you at what time your mobile data/wifi/flight mode must be turned on/off.
The name of the app is connection commander
Hope this help
Hi everybody,
I'm really struggling with the BBC for the Tilt. I would MUCH rather use ActiveSync, but it's against company policy so I'm SOL on that. I'm forced to either buy a Blackberry and give up my Tilt or install BBC. I chose the later.
I've been having problems with it ever since and I've had trouble finding resources to help out (mainly because most people don't use BBC on Tilt).
Here are the problems:
1. BBC often will randomly say "suspended by user" (even though I haven't), which prevents me from getting new messages, and unless I'm always looking to see if the service is running, I'll never know if I'm not getting email or if it suspended itself
2. BBC will just as often randomly say, "blocked - radio in use".
3. I can't get any integration going with the calendar at all. And when I receive calendar/meeting requests, it comes to the Tilt as email messages, not as meeting requests, so I can't accept them and add it to my calendar
Now, the limited amount of information I was able to find suggests that problem #2 may have something to do with interference with ActiveSync. I've tried the technique where I add a fake server source then make the schedule manual, but ActiveSync still won't go away permanently. I use it to access my Tilt files through Windows, so I can't uninstall it altogether. Also, when I tried to uninstall it before, it deleted all of my non-SIM contacts from the Tilt along with it, because all of my contacts were imported from Outlook.
Anybody have any ideas or solutions?
I think these are common issues, especially if you are using the Tilt on AT&T.
1) I'll go days without losing connection to blackberry services then it seems like it will lose it every night for 2 or 3 days. It may be related to activesync or it may be related to network issues. I always check the blackberry icon. If there's a "!" there, I know I need to reconnect.
2) At least with AT&T, you can only have one active data connection. Either it's the blackberry service or it's something else. The something else is active and keeping the blackberry service from connecting.
3) Check your pim options screen and make sure the calendar box is checked. If I remember correctly, when I first installed it was not checked by default. Contacts, tasks and notes are also configured in this screen.
You may have a point about activesync. I always kill it when I can but it auto starts. If I understand correctly, it is checking or setting the network time?

Yeah, that's what I usually have to do, but I hate that I have to do it - it defeats the purpose of push email if you have to always check to see if it's still pushing, lol.
People have recommended uninstalling ActiveSync when using BBC, but I can't possibly see how that's practical because I use ActiveSync to maintain my contacts and to add music and files to my Tilt. Is there some other way of doing this without using ActiveSync?

That's what I've read. But there have been times when I've done a Stop All on all services, and I still got a radio in use message. Strangely, there have been times when both ActiveSync and IE were running and I was able to get BBC running no problem. The inconsistency is maddening because it becomes impossible to isolate and cause and solve it.

Whatever is being maintained by ActiveSync (contacts) is greyed out on my Tilt, but everything else (calendar, notes and tasks) is checked, so I should be OK. But calendard items are still arriving in my inbox as regular email.

Interesting. I thought I was doing something wrong since people swear by that technique as a way to get ActiveSync to go away permanently. But it always comes back for me.
It says "radio in use" when Media.Net is active possibly through a IE or weather type program.
Some of the NEWER ROMS allow dual connections for BBConnect & Media.net. I saw a thread yesterday that showed the precise registry entry to make to allow this without burning a new ROM.
What thread was this? And when you say "newer ROMS" are you referring to official ROMs like the one on the HTC website or the XDA ROMs?
Demigawd,
Make sure the wireless calendar service (cical) is running properly. What version of bbc are you running? I'm running 4.0.0.97. It's behavior is a bit different than previous versions. It seems to block other data connections instead of bb getting blocked.
The only other suggestion I have is to remove and reinstall bbc. I would also have bes sync everything including contacts until you are sure calendaring is running correctly. If it's still not working correctly, maybe check your bes for a non-standard it policy.
I think the registry entry for multiple data apns is volatile and gets overwritten after every soft reset. A custom rom is probably the only way around that.
Hi everyone
Have been using the Diamond for a few days now and have noticed a few quirks here and there. Mostly are software issues that I think will be ironed out in later releases of the ROM but for now there are a few issues that I was wondering if anyone else was having.
I have my own Exchange server running and have Direct Push/3G on constantly. The only issue is that sometimes i get the mail come through via Direct Push while sometimes it doesnt. In those situations I have to push "sync" in active sync for it to grab the new mails.
My settings are on "as item arrives" for both peak and offpeak and the status in active sync is shown as connected. This worked perfectly on my Trinity and Direct Push has never missed a beat once.
Anyone else experiencing similar issues?
The only time I ever experienced this is when O2 had a data outage in the UK yesterday. Other than that it has worked flawlessly.
Have my own exchange aswell, and haven't any problems so far !
Have you tried checking the peak times in the options for activesync?
not Diamond-related at all (since I don't have one yet) - but are you perhaps roaming networks sometimes?
had a customer with this issue and there is an extra option 'sync when roaming' (at least in WM5) - syncing manually worked in other networks without option enabled
HKC\Software\HTC\Manila:
PushMailOn : default value is "0" ( OFF)
PLease chech this value in your registry. I wonder if this settings might affect push mail avaiability for you.
I would set to "1" and soft reset to confirm.
I have the problem also! I had no problems with a TyTN II being used on the same Exchange server, but the diamond has a mind of it's own.
The peak time is on the default 8am to 8pm and reverse for off peak. But I dont think this affects it since I have it on "as item arrives" for both.
I dont have "use above settings when roaming" ticked since I'm in a very well covered 3G zone. The "H" icon is constantly on where I am.
I havent tried the reg edit yet SecureGSM, thanx for the tip. I will try to isolate the problem and do that for a last resort.
Is your problem consistent or inconsistent vas79?
I have noticed something but not sure if my paranoia or what but I have a feeling the time size affects it. If you have it large at the default size the mail comes in fine. But when you minimise the time to see more calendar items, the mail does not direct push. I'm still testing this so i'll post result after a few days of use in both.
Well it consistently doesn't work!
I very rarely hear the email alert when the phone is in standby. When I turn the phone on a unlock no email then within 10 seconds email will come in and get the little icon by the Mail saying how many new emails.
Alternatively I'd go to Activesync and it would say last sync'd at XXX rather than connected. I then select Sync which it does then it stays connected until next time.
If I go to the comm manger it says Direct Push is on and Data Connection on.
I can live with it, because i assume it's a bug and it will get fixed!..
My major gripe is it doesn't ring straight away, takes 3/4 rings to get going and ring. I have missed so many calls because of this!
i have been using Diamond with Exchange Server 2007 pushmail via GPRS since 1st June. There is no problem so far.
I am using BlackBerry at the same time. Basically pushmail arrives later than blackberry for 1.5 secs, I am sure all mails can be arrived to my Diamond in these 2 weeks.

hmmm ok, seems like you have a different problem to me. Mine actually says "connected" but mail just doesnt get pushed out or rather Diamond doesnt get the message. Have you made sure that you have "as item arrives" in the schedule (in activesync) for both peak and off peak?

Yep, everything says "as item arrives" also tried ticking even when roaming, when i'm not!!
Actually today it has said connected everytime I've checked!
Only thing I changed yesterday was one of the registry tweaks to improve touchflo 3d performance.
When the UK rom drops and we can load it I will see then!
UK Rom here and seeing exactly the same issues!
Mine has been working fine too...
Folks just bought Htc Diamond

Do you mean gps or gprs? if your talkin bwt ur gprs its common that a carrier will drop an internet connection when an antenna is full dont worry its not a problem just reconnect
hi
I am talking about GPS....when i connect gps software and it doesnt find a signal it shows that message. i know its not a problem / issue with the phone. i just want to turn that poping messge off as it is annoying and pops up in screen time and again
We are also getting this error message (and we are using GPRS). It has the effect of stopping our application interacting with the internet until the user presses the 'Dismiss' button.
Our application will automatically reconnect when the phone is able to get a GPRS connection. My question is can we stop the message/dialog appearing by capturing the event in our application? (We can't always wait for the user to clear the message)
exactly...its so frustrating clicking that "dismiss" button everytime
Same problem on the HTC Touch Pro.
Same problem here on ATT's stock Rom 1.95.502.5 WWE. It started about two weeks ago when I noticed my phone was dead when I got home from work (which is highly unusual for it to even go below 50% without me running to charge it). I keep noticing "Cannot Connect" bubbles from my [H] data symbol.
Dialed: wap.cingular
Cannot connect for an unknown reason. To check your connection settings and change them if needed, tap Settings. If the problem continues, reset your mobile device according to your manufacturer's documentation and try again."

The only way I could get rid of the problem was to do a soft reset with the stylus. About a week ago I got really good and disgusted with it and decided that I was going to try a new radio and see if that helps. I went with 12.12.25.19 and the matching .dll file. After doing that the error seemed to go away for 2-3 days. Now starting this past Friday afternoon I'm back to the constant cannot connect bubbles. I'm not even sure what program is trying to connect because MemMaid says none of them are open except TouchFlo!
At least with the new radio I can go into Settings > Communication and toggle in and out of airplane mode which fixes the problem for 30 minutes at a time.
I don't mind the pop-ups, I mind the fact they prevent my screen from fully going to sleep which is killing my battery life! My screen will dim with the pop-ups but it won't go completely off which gives me about 3-4 hours battery life if I don't check it. Now I'm a compulsive phone-checker (I feel like those crackberry addicts) just to keep turing the screen off!
I have a problem with my recently purchased Tasker app. I tried posting on the official Tasker forum (https://tasker.helprace.com/s1-general/problems/top) but after I would click submit, nothing would come up. If anyone knows how to get in contact with the developers other than leaving a negative review on the Play Store that would be much appreciated.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S9 (not rooted) running whatever the latest version OS (Pie I want to say?).
I have a simple Profile setup to Connect to VPN when Wifi is connected, and Disconnect from VPN when Wifi is disconnected (as an Exit task) using the OpenVPN Tasker Plugin.
On rare occasion, everything works as expected.
Unfortunately, the majority of the time, it will indeed recognize the correct state (Wifi Connected), however, it will not connect to the VPN. When I go into Tasker, I see the Profile is green text, and if I go to More>Run Log I can see that it says something to the extent of:
"Active 2 Wifi Connected" then "Start TaskService" then "Running 3 VPN Connect" then "OK 3.1 VPN Connect.com.ffrog8.openVpnTaskerPlugin\n***\n*!" then "ExitOK 3 VPN Connect" then "Stop TaskService" (this is all in reverse order, since I think the run log puts the newest events at the top, but this is how I read them from bottom up).
Tasker even says 1 Task running on the notification bar on my lock screen. However the VPN is not connected. If I go into Tasker, turn off that profile, then turn it on again (via the toggle switch on the right hand side), the VPN will connect as expected and the run log will say the same exact thing.
Likewise for the Exit Task - when I disconnect from the network Tasker seems to recognize the state just fine (evident in Run Log and notification icon in lock screen), however my VPN remains connected (well my guess is it must disconnect for a short period as I transition from Wifi to 4g).
I have tried waiting a while to see if it's just a time issue, but I could wait hours and it will never trigger one way or the other (VPN Connect or VPN Disconnect). I have tried different Wifi networks. The Wifi State Active = "Any". In Android Settings>Apps>Tasker>Battery the toggle for "Allow background activity" is set to on, Optimize Battery Usage is set to off. Likewise for OpenVpn Tasker Plugin.
*Joao or anyone have any ideas?
Many thanks.
Troubleshooting = Because a Piece of Code went
Sorry to say that it looks like I am the 1st reply, as I have no real training in coding or programming myself.
I too recently began to play with such though with the intent to install it on some family member's devices ? However, like you I have not been able to get my desired automation regular enough to share it. When I 1st downloaded Tasker (I think) it had something about a "community" to share & get help with as well as more.
Trying to be helpful I ran a quick search for the specific site & as usual, Google had to go overboard with the results. Still hoping this will help you sooner as they all focus on that particular program:
https://community.home-assistant.io/t/tutorial-using-the-new-auth-system-with-tasker/82423
Just wondering if all the changes to Android OS as a whole may also have an affect on something minor such as whatever we choose to do with "automation" programming? Have seen throughout various post's & news that sort of thing....
for any other poor soul with the same problem, I read a couple of obscure comments on the interweb that the OpenVPN plugin for Tasker is no longer functioning, and all must be run through the Open VPN Connect app (NOT Open VPN for Android app) using intents. I found a guide once, and am testing it now and will report back if it works more reliably. Thank you Lone wolf for your reply.
just to update the poor souls, using intents like I said seems to work more reliably in terms of connecting to VPN. The only problem is if you go out of wifi range, it disconnects, but then are back within wifi range quickly (like somewhere with bad wifi signal), it will not connect again for some reason.
