hey guys...
noob question hoping that someone with a Diamond can help me... is this able to seamlessly switch between 3G/HSDPA data and WiFi for Internet Browsing and email synching?
i know the new iPhone 3G does that (ie uses WiFi signal whenever it's in range and switches to 3G/HSDPA connection automatically when WiFi is unavailable) so i was wondering if WinMo had that same functionality?
can anyone shed some light regarding this?
As far as i can tell, the diamond also does this...whenever i activate wifi, it jumps onto that instead....

Hello All.
Does anyone have an addon or something which will help me quickly or automagically switch between different wireless networks and the GPRS network?
Basically, if im in a wifi area, i want it to switch to a wifi which i tell is acceptable (i.e. at work, home, and on UCF campus). Otherwise, iwant it to auto set itself to GPRS.
Any suggestions? Or even a quick-network changer would help...
Thanks.

Great question! I have been wondering about this too since I just got my 8125 on 5 days ago.
No one has any modification that would allow this?
Upgrading to 2.2 fixed this for me.
If you select 'My ISP' as your connection or uncheck the proxy server, you will be able to switch between wi-fi and GPRS automatically. The only catch is that you still need to turn on wi-fi manually. Leave it on all the time will quickly drain your battery in one or two hours.
Hi everyone,
Just got my new Kaiser, actually it's an Orange TYTN II, after disabling all of the orange junk and installing pocketCM, it's almost useable. But i've got a little question regarding this phone.
If you are connected by both Wifi and 3G simultaneously, which connection would take priority, i would hope it would be wifi, but am not sure, and haven't installed any gprs/3g monitoring software yet as i have no SD card.
It's my work phone, and a lot of people are wondering about this same question, so i thought i would consult the experts
Thanks in advance!
WiFi seems to take priority on mine.
My edge or my 3g takes over my wifi. I wonder if there is a setting you can set to where it chooses the wifi over the other, other than d/c your E or 3g.
I've had a Tilt since it launched and have run multiple different roms. What has always happened since I bought it, is that my internet connection will drop when I'm on a phone. I don't understand. I shouldn't, right? None of my other non-WM phones dropped the internet connection.
That's one of the things I loved about GSM, I could be talking on the phone (via BT) and use the internet on it, but not anymore with this phone. IM+ will disconnect all the IM clients, which is the most annoying one. I think I've heard people in this forum say they don't have this problem. Is it a flaw with Windows Mobile itself (Microsoft catering to CDMA), the Kaiser model, firmware or my phone itself?
yep, drops my HSDPA when on call as well. It's probably normal.
hey man you know you can only use the phone and the internet at the same time on a 3g conection right? if its not that then i dont know whats up try a new rom i guess
hey i just saw that another person posted in here and had the same problem on a 3g network so i tried it out i can use the phone for data and a call at the same time im using a wm 6.1 rom not sure what one maybe its a problem with the service in your area
Man, some commas would really help..
Anyway.. when you say that u can use phone and internet at the same time - have you actually tried being on the call and browse internet? It does stay connected, but there is no traffic.
I don't think it has ever worked on my Kaiser. It works on my Razr v3xx. Maybe it is 3G. For some reason, now that I put a new 6.1 rom and a new 6.1 compatible radio, my phone is almost only on EDGE when I used to always be on HSDPA. Well, the battery life is better at least. I'll try again when I connect to a 3G network, which used to be always.
I don't think my Razr was limited to simultaneous voice + data only when on 3G.

I've known this too. Tethering and phone work in 3g for me as well.
yeah i did browse to a few sites made sure it was using the data. even made sure it wasnt just cached pages. hey if ur only getting edge maybe its ur radio rom? i was getting that for awhile new rom and it went away
I'm using HSDPA, never 3G (it switches to HSDPA when 3G is available).. it's definitelly faster.. but I have battery charge issues and no traffic while on call. Perhaps 3G doesn't have those issues, I will try it out.
I do get EDGE sometimes, but it's usually same spots. I guess some towers don't have 3G i-net connection, only EDGE. Some places, however, I always get HSDPA (usually where signal strength is high)
sorry i forgot not all 3g is hsdpa i should of clarified we have hsdpa over here
I have the same problem. 3G or H data connections drop when a call is made or received. reconnects when call is over. Anyone with ideas if it is the phone, radio or rom?
Solved!! After some digging around in the forum I found out that setting a limit to disconnect your data connection will cause this problem. If your using kaisertweak go under "Data" set the "disconnect after" to disabled (default) instead of the 1 minute(advised). for some reason this will now allow data and voice to work together and wont drop your data connection while on call anymore. Good luck with your device.

I had the same problem and this fixed my issue.
Gang:
I might have dropped my phone (or not).
But, it now won't connect on the 3G signal, (EDGE and GPRS seem to work).
It constantly is seeking the 3G connection "overruling" the EDGE and GPRS connections so I'm constantly missing calls and lose connections (both data and voice).
Is there a way to block the 3G connection (so it will connect on, and stay connected on, the EDGE and/or GPRS signals)? I'm over my head here, but perhaps in the registry?
For bonus: if anyone knows how to fix the 3G connection, let me know too. It "connects", but can't use data or phone in or out.
Thanks in advance.

did the options search provided not work?

Options search? Need a bit more. What's that please?
that's the stuff you got when you searched your problem.. Which is part of the rules, you need to try and figure out how to solve your problem on your own..
Go to your Comm Manager, there should be an option to toggle off 3G.
Hi, I have been using a mobile to just talk and SMS. Few days back bought a HTC TYTN II Kaiser and this was a quantum jump for me. Question - 1. Is it possible to have WiFi, GSM/3G and Bluetooth services active all the time ? 2. How do I know which service is being utilised by an application to communicate with outside world ? I want the phone call and SMS to utilise GSM/3G and all other to use the WiFi (home broadband). Appreciate help in laymans language. Thanks.
Most of that can be configured in your Connection Settings, go in there and take a look around.
Having everything on at the same time will severely reduce the time your device's battery will last. You may wish to rethink.
Thanks folks. I could find the setup for SMS and phone. SMS and Phone through O2 (current service provider). This is what I wanted. I now need to direct everything else to go via wireless-broadband.
@ stuntdouble
not to mention that WiFi and Bluetooth on at the same time is a trainwreck.
Thanks for the causion. I intend to turn on WiFi or Blue when I want. So no issues.
Pop quiz for experts. I see an 'E', '3G' or a 'G' at various times as the active connection medium. To connect to the internet using my home broadband, I turned on the WiFi and saw the WiFi icon in the place where the above symbols appear. Does this mean that the WiFi is active & connected to the Internet AND the 3G or GPRS or E is deavtivated ? Internet worked perfectly. Is there a priority among the connecting medium/protocols ?
