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

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

Ok, this was working fine on the original AT&T ROM, but since I flashed to dutty's ROM, I cant get it to work. How do I force the phone to use wifi for net access when wifi is turned on, as opposed to medianet? Currently, I have to keep manually switching from medianet to "my work connection" in connection settings.
You can use Kaiser Tweak to set it to disconnect the GPRS connection after a set amount of minutes of inactivity. Then, when you enable WiFi, it should connect ONLY to WiFi.
I think the OP needs to sort out his "work" and his "internet" instead of just trying to turn off radio data.
I have medianet set to internet and my wifi set to work...not really clear what "work" is....just want to automatically use wifi when wifi is connected, and cant find the option to do that.
Anybody???
I did set both connections to "work".
Additionally I added my tmobile gprs connection to the work profile.
All seems to work great.
I can acces my network shares over wifi and connect to the internet. When no wifi is available it connects via gprs.
I keep getting confused on this same issue. i installed the same rom we are talking about. it shows up for me when setting up email accounts. with my wifi turned on, it still tries to go out the 3g connection. I want it to use wifi if that is what is turned on and i think that was working on the death star rom. For the drop down that says "The Internet" I basically want that to point to wifi if on then fall back to 3g. How do we do that?
It should not be named "work".
So whats the solution here?
Under Connections....Select which networks are automatically used:
Programs that connect to the internet should connect using ???
I can either choose Medianet or my work network, I'd like for it to use wifi when available, how is this done?
Programs that connect to a private network should connect using ???
I have this set to my work network.
Easy Solution to 'Auto Wifi"
Buy an Iphone, works seemlessly, and you get a browser too which works, something these HTC phones havn't had in 3 years.
The easiest way to force wifi (since gprs can be acting as a ***** ), is to keep wlan enabled and to install the NOGPRS.cab (aka the modaco nodata plugin) which allows you to disable (but keep) the gprs settings and which you can toggle on (and back off) when needed.
Great little app, saves much annoyance!
Is there an easy way to toggle wi-fi on/off, that can be assigned to an icon or button? At the moment I have to open Comm Manager each time and do it from there.

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
Tunnelblick
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.
Please help !
I can connect to my home Broadband using my XDA 11i but cna't get it to actually SHOW any web pages.
It tries searching but keeps trying to connect by GPRS .... sorry if I haven't explained it so well .
ANyways I can use the XDA for normal internet use BUT can't actually see any web pages when I try to connect by WiFI EVEN THOUGH the device says that it HAS a GOOD connection to my HOME BROADBAND !!??
HELP !!!!!!!
hi
i have the same problem on my ppc and i don't know how to access internet thru my adsl at home. it always connects to gprs for internet, messenger or email!! plz help
try checking if you really are connected thru your wifi. if so, open explorer on your phone while it is connected thru wifi, you'll konw when the icon circle with 2 arrows appear steady.
if not, set your settings to "the internet" instead of "work" then try again.
or you may be far from your wifi source, just for testing try to sit down in front of your wifi router while browsing.
worst comes to worst have a master rest and try again.
It does connect using the WiFI broadband but son't show any webpages and keeps tryin gto conect to GPRS >
Any SIMPLE suggestions ?
Thanks.
you obviously know how to turn on wifi on your alpine yes?
tunr on your wifi then go to the there is a little icon at teh bottom of the screen that shows all avalable connections, hold over select your home wifi connection, click connect when it appears select "internet" enter your wifi password and thats it, it will use your adsl connection if you turn on your wifi before you try to access the net, if you dont it will use gprs.
wifi must be on and connected before you use outlook/IE/opera ect. default is always gprs
Tried everything you said above -no luck !
Thanks anyway !!!!

Hello,
I have an problem. When i'm connected to Wifi and launch Opera, weather update or anything else which uses internet. The diamond makes connection with the 3G/GPRS network. The wifi is being ignored or something.
I thougt that i had seen this problem before on this forum, but i searched and can't find it anymore.
Does anybody know an solution or knows where i can find one?
Grtz
You can set network priority up somewhere, i'd be of more help but i don't remember where this is in settings
I have also been looking for a solution to set network priority as wlan first but cant find where to..

I've been reading this site a fair old bit recently! First time i've been influenced to post though. I'd also love a solution to this. Does anyone know how to change priority settings? I swear i'd turned GPRS off, but whenever I check the weather or internet, it connects, sometimes even when I have a wi-fi connection active.
I wish to only use my Diamond with the wi-fi, don't want to get raped on the data charges. Any help would be greatly appreciated Thanks.

That's the exact issue i have! Its bloody anoying!
how about using NoData or from Advance configuration utilities in comm manager actually disabling all other connections ? i've been confronted with the same problem many times and rather use the available Wi-Fi over the mobile internet connections, so that helped me
That's not good enough for me. I have a databundle so when i'm not at home i wanna use that internet. But when i'm at home i want wifi!
I think i found the problem. When you make a connection with a wifi network you can choose between "internet" and "work". When you choose internet there's nothing wrong. When you choose work it doesn't make some kind of internet connection so programs fall back to the gprs.
I'm having the same problems. I'm having a data subscription so don't want to disable it in total. What I tried was go to wifi settings --> network adapters. Selected internet from the drop down box on top (work was default for me). But Opera still connects through 3G or G. What settings did you change exactly Rik_X?
The settings that i changed is when you make a new wifi connection it asks if you want to connect as 'internet' or 'work'. You have to choose work.
With wifi networks allready configured you have to do the following:
Go to comm manager --> turn on WLAN and let it connect to the network --> then push settings --> Wireless LAN. Then go to Networkcards (in dutch its netwerkkaarten) (its under the SSID)
Then click on the connected network and change work into internet. Accept the setting and with a reconnect its works (for me)
Good luck
