Hi,
I'm currently running L24 V4 and I experience an anoying problem in the internet connection using pop3 email (messaging). When I enable my WLAN it won't send/receive my email via this connection. Instead it opens a GRPS connection. This is not what I want. The second problem is that when I try to connect trough gprs it only works when I set the network connection in advanced server settings of "edit account setup" of my pop3 account to "Vodafone GPRS". Settings like "work" and "the internet" doesn't let me connect to grps at all. So doing this way it looks like I'm forcing the email connection to GPRS.
I have this problem only for email. Browsing the internet goes fine. If I have WLAN it goes trough wireless. If WLAN is not on it opens GPRS. For mail this doesn't work.
Any idea?
Cheers!
Martin
I have this same exact problem. Is this a known problem or does anyone have a fix? I'm using the official HTC WM6.1 rom btw.
Also, just to clarify, if I change the Network connection setting to 'The Internet' in the POP3 email settings, I can send/receive email over wifi but not via GPRS/3G. If I change the Network connection setting to 'MEdia Net' (US AT&T GPRS/3G connection), I can send/receive email via GPRS/3G, and it always uses GPRS/3G even if wifi is available. All other internet programs I use (Internet Explorer Mobile, Opera Mini, CorePlayer, HTC Home weather) connect over wifi when available instead of using GPRS/3G.

Sorry, this may be a dumb question...
How do you stop the Kaiser from accessing 3G (or WiFi) whilst connected to a PC via ActiveSync. So, duing the day it would use 3G, however when connected via ActivSync at night it would use the PC connection to the internet for all downloads, MS Exchange sync, etc
thanks!
There is a setting in activesync that will disallow all 'wireless' connections while the device is connected. In this case, I believe they mean 3g, gprs, wifi, etc. will all be disabled. It is under 'Connection Settings'.

For me, i would like the reverse.
I'm setting up activesync to connect to Exchange servers (mail2web), but in the connection settings, i can only see the choice "Internet" and nothing else (ie. my GPRS sets)
Thus, I can only get emails pushed to me when i am on WIFI, but not GPRS.
The only way i can make it happen is at START/SETTINGS/CONNECTIONS where i set "All programs that automatically connects to internet .." to my GPRS set, but not "MY WORK NETWORK"
but if i set it to my GPRS set, if i were to accidentally surf web when wifi is not on, it would incurr GPRS charges ..
any idea?
On the same topic...
I used to be able to surf the web on the HTC 8125, using the laptop's internet connection, using the USB cable. I can no longer do this? Any ideas? What happens now it that it the phone conects to GPRS automatically, apparently it can not detect the internet from the laptop...
Thx in advance.

is this setting perhaps the setting you need to turn on on your pc?
this allowed me to be active sync connected to my pc but the phone browsed via Cell Service rather than via my pc.

If your service provider uses a proxy setting on your phone to connect then you have to set up the same proxy in your web browser on your laptop.
I have a weird loss of web connection that I haven't been able to find an explanation for.
I have a Tilt, and am using Schaps 4.30 with the 1.27.12.17 radio. I've got it set up to connect to our corporate Exchange as well as 2 comcast mail accounts, an earthlink account, and windows live.
All connected just fine, and I could connect to the web fine through PIE up until today. I have a steady 3G connection, and phone service is working fine, but I can no longer surf, and none of the email connections work except for the exchange connection, which is working fine.
I've doublechecked the medianet connection, and the isp connection, and tried to use both, but neither is connecting to anything but what's above. If I turn off the proxy, then nothing works, and I'm hit with a barrage of "connecting" messages.
I also doublechecked the proxy settings in medianet and reset them as per the AT&T website instructions, but still no go.
Any ideas?
Is there a way to set a POP3 email account to check multiple networks for a connection to the server? Sometimes I check my mail on wifi, sometimes on MEdiaNET. As it is, I can set either 'The Internet' (wifi), 'Work' (wifi), or 'MEdiaNET'. If I set 'The Internet' or 'Work', wifi works fine, but fails to try MEdiaNET when the wifi radio is off. Likewise, if the GSM radio is off and 'MEdiaNET' is set, it fails to check wifi.
MSN(Live) has its own setting and doesn't suffer from this problem.
Hi all,
Got a stange issue. I have the MDAcIV (basically a diamond) on the UK T-Mobile contract.
I've setup my Gmail account to send/retrieve and over wifi it works perfectly, however if I disable my wifi connection, I expect the email to sync over GPRS, but I keep getting a sync error saying check your connections etc.
Anyway checked all my connections and it works fine over GPRS in browser, weather, and any other app requiring internet connection, just not email.
Gone through the email settings and under advanced server settings, under Network Connection it's set to "The Internet".
If I change this to "T-Mobile Internet", and then try to sync with wifi OFF, the GPRS kicks in and starts syncing.
I then stopped the GPRS connection, switched on wifi, and tried to sync again, but instead of using the connected wifi, it starts a GPRS connection.
Strange!
So in summary:
Network Connection: The Internet
WiFi OFF
GPRS ON
Sync fails over GPRS
Network Connection: T-Mobile Internet
WiFi ON
GPRS OFF
Syncs over GPRS instead of existing wifi connection
Anyone else have similar experience?
Thanks
I got a similar one:
I'm using Active Sync via HSDPA/GPRS to get my mails pushed (Exchange 2007 Server). Works like a charm and never have problems with it; used it for years with other WiMo devices.
Now, since I have my diamond (MDAc4 also) I can finally use WiFi, too. What I now experience is:
When I turn on Wifi, my cellular connection (HSDPA) stays active and when I turn it off manually via the comm manager it also turns off "PushMail" in comm manager. That basically sets active sync to "manual" instead of "when items arrive".
Though I am able to turn on push mail in comm manager again, as soon as an email arrives it starts to connect HSDPA again.
So basically I can not use wifi to save some MB of my data plan when I want to continue to get my emails. And this really sucks...
Only thing I can set up in the advanced connections in Active Sync is "Connection" where my only option is "Internet" -.- Meaning I can not differ between cellular and wifi. It kinda has to use the cellular connection...
long story short, dunno if that helps you with your problem now, sorry; but if anyone understands what I am talking about right here, maybe send me a pm or something, if you know how to fix that.

Definitely had this happen a fair few times, with the gprs failing to connect once or twice, and I've seen it on most of the roms.
I think WM doesn't set it's connection type correctly, so we don't get the seamless "use the best/cheapest/fastest connection available"
In fact, anyone know of any app that would just do that? As in try to connect to unsecured or secured wifi, followed by 3G/HSDPA, followed by GPRS?

I have exactly the same problem. If I want to get my e-mail the account setting has to be "T-Mobile Internet" unless I'm using wi-fi in which case I have to switch it to be "The Internet". Anyone know of a solution?
Is it possible that T-mobile are forcing you to use your Data connection rather than free Wifi ?
Hmmm nerf maybe?

Thanks for the reply. It could be but the phone doesn't even attempt to connect to mobile data it just pops up an error to say it can't connect with the existing data settings. Its not a T-mobile supplied handset although it did configure itself to use T-Mobile when I first put the SIM in.
Solution
After research and research I´ve finally found a solution. I´ll post some pictures of my settings so you can see yourself what you have to do.
The clou is to have only 1 connection for Wifi and GPRS/3G. WM now firstly checks if there is a Wifi connection and if not, it will connect to GPRS.
Got It
Just untick the box that says "This network uses a proxy server to connect to the internet" in the manage t-mobile Internet connections app.
Now works over Wifi if available, if not uses GPRS/3G
Hi there,
I have a question about an annoying problem that I've only managed to find one (unanswered) question to on the web.
I am using WM6.1 to read email from my Hotmail account, amongst other things. The problem is that the messaging client ALWAYS tries to download my mail via 3G/GPRS even when there's a WiFi connection available. This occurs both when I initiate the send/receive using TouchFlo 3D or from within the mail client.
Connection manager is, as far as I'm aware, configured correctly, and PIE/Opera/weather will all happily use WiFi to connect to the internet, only using my data connection when WiFi isn't available.
The same results occur with connection manager configured in either of the following ways:
Internet Connection = "My ISP" settings with 3G modem connection
Work Connection = Default "My Work Network" settings
WiFi Access Point = Connects to Internet
Network Card = Connects to Internet
OR
Internet Connection = "My Work Network" with 3G modem connection and "This network connects to the internet" enabled
Work Connection = As Internet Connection
WiFi Access Point = Connects to Work
Network Card = Connects to Work
Interestingly, if I disable my data connection and enable WiFi I CAN send/receive mail over the WiFi connection, so it seems like the data connection is being used in preference to the WiFi one.
Is this a known issue or am I doing something wrong?!
Thanks,
Mike
same problem
I have the same problem since I upgraded to a 2.03 ROM (udK_Syrius_HD_BETA8_WWE)
Interested to find out a solution as also finding this annoying as worked fine before upgrade.
same problem here
USE Nodata soft
I have the same problem, use NoData soft and disabled all connections,and hotmail will connect via wifi.
