Dear,
I don't have a data plan, so I can't sync weather trough a 3G mobile connection (I deselect the option "Download the weather automatically").
I added one city to the weather tab in TouchFlo 3D, and I supposed that it will download weather info through ActiveSync (my computer is connected to Internet always while syncing), but it doesn't.
Do anybody know how can I get this info through ActiveSync?
Thanks!!

I use "SWIFTBL WWE DIAMOND ROM V3.0"; Does it mean?
I also have a question, but slightly different one:
I only use WiFi while I am at home, all other data connections disabled. The problem is - the weather tab shows the forecast from the time I last updated it. Like now is afternoon, but it shows the moon there (updated last night) ..
I used SPB plug-in on my previous device and it showed relevant forecast even without a data connection. Do you know how to set it up, I believe they are using the same source for downloads.

Hey Guys,
I am pretty much all set up. Thanks to all the help and information i was able to Flash it to Helimis Big Storage Dynamic version, added some programs. All works great. Only outstanding items:
E-mail -When i set up gmail pop connection it doesnt seem to connect to gather the messaages on 3g/Edge serivce. However, i did a test and turned on the wireless connection in the comm manager. As soon as i have done this Gmail POP3 works like a charm. As soon as i disconnect the problem persists. I have 39.99 3g data plan. Should the mail work through this data plan? or do i need to always switch to wireless in order to recieve mail? (HIGHly doubt it)
GPS- I have yet to put tomtom on, but i tried my google maps. It "worked" great at one point, I ran Quick GPS and it was able to triangulate my location (get a lock signal -7-8 satelaties), but now it doesnt work. I know i read somewhere not to mess with external GPS, but i switched to COM port 2 but i never un-checked the "auto-config GPS". Do you know what could be causing it not lock in onto my location now. I think it actually did work after i changed to COM2.
COMmanager - i updated my comm manager to duttythroy 10 button version. It has a 3g button to disable it since it drains a lot of battery power. However, how do i disable the GPRS/EDGE doesnt it drain power as well? i see in the Kaiser section there is also duttythroy_data_disconnection+_hspda-switch.cab (what will this exactly doo?)
Thanks all.
Other than these my TILT is amazing.. loving it.. Thanks to everyone who posted and helped.

e-mail: Does web browsing work? If so, then you might have a server setup problem. If not, call AT&T's support and ask for the PDA help group.
GPS: In my case the GPS is COM4: and 4800 baud. You can set this in "Start", "Settings", "External GPS", then let Google use the "Use Windows Settings" checkbox.
COMmanager: Use Bandswitch instead. Works much better. Latest is 2.4.2, and much be purchased, but worth every penny. (30 day trial I think tho)

GPS: - do you put this under Program or Hardware tab? Or do i put com 4 port in both places
E-mail - internet works.. So i guess Server setup problem?
COMmanager- I just took a quick glance at Bandswitch. It seems that it can do everything that ComManager + Kaiser Tweak (kaiser can set time to termination of data connection. My question is.. in the com manager- you can terminate 3g, but GPRS turns on.. does GPRS drain battery? should there be another button to turn off GPRS too?
contact importer
Also anyone know whats a good contact importer. I have a CSV file with 138 entries similar to this one.

Email: For gmail, i put "recent:" in front of my email addy so it would be recent:[email protected] That should make it work.

Thanks for the advice it already has rescent in it. It works when i turn on wifi, so all settings are correct. It simply doesnt work with 3G (and wifi off).
Any ideas on contact importer?

Another question, how do you set it so that all forms of links start Opera instead of internet explorer.

I would love to know the answer to that one. I can only get Opera to run if I click the Java link, then copy/paste my links over. Quite tedious.
I would also like a 1-click way to start Opera....

download the opera mini and selector link...copy and save the opera mini link to windows/start menu/programs folder then copy the selector file to windows/Appdb folder then you'll be able to set the Interenet explorer button in button settings to opera...this is also assuming you are using jbed java midlet...i'm not sure if it works on other java midlet managers...cheers...

Opera issues
Hey guys, i dont know what happened, but now all the sudden when i use Opera EVERY link i click on i end up loosing Medianet connection and it trys to re-establish it. It ultimatelly suceeds and loads the page... but this does not happen with Internet Explorer (everything works fine there). I also have KaiserTweak set to disconnect internet after 1 min of inactive use.. but its definatelly not that.. since i am active during my "test" browsing period. (which i did)
Any ideas.. i mean ITS Extremelly SLOW (sometimes 4 attempts to re-establish connection) and annoying.. It is also weird that it does actually make the 3g connection but then it breaks for no reason (tested in various locations)
Thanks for previous help - all those problems been solved - Except linking opera to all links (i click on) -> I am reading the trade posted in this thread about it.
- Question though.. i dont need to place a link into windows folder i guess since when i click explorer softkey it automatically opens Java Midlet. Or do i still need to perform that step?

I'm not sure whats causing your disconnect i never have that issue...but about your question...with the opera shortcut in your start menu it skips the step of opening your midlet manager then clicking on opera...then when you put that selector file in your windows folder its never asks for permission to remember your session and whatnot...it just goes straight to the home page in opera...

Thanks. I will try that.. Would be much better.
Anyone can help me as far as the constant disconnects?
All,
I have just received my HTC Diamond (using Vodafone network in NSW, Australia). I will be using it for phone and GPS and possibly also for (Exchange based) email.
I haven’t used Windows Mobile before, and am paranoid that I will (inadvertently) go over the data limit that my employer provides. The limit is only 100MB a month, and if I go over it is something like $1 a MB. I'd rather avoid paying this if possible.
* Is there a way to monitor data usage on Windows Mobile?
* Is there a way to configure email such that it only updates over WiFi or when connected via USB to my home PC (rather than over the mobile towers)? (My email alone would blow me way over 100MB a month)
* Is there a way to disallow any applications from any upload/download over mobile towers without my confirmation?

The program should be installed already, if not check your CD, it's the GPRS monitor if you are using GPRS.
Thanks - I just looked on the CD and found the GPRS monitor.
I then installed the software on the Diamond and set it up with my limit (100MB).
After that I browsed to a website on both Opera and IE. Both worked fine, but when I went back to the monitor nothing had registered (on the Chart or Report tab). Is this normal? Should it appear straight away? Any other explanation (could it have gone over something over than GPRS)?
Interestingly, there is a H at the top of the screen. Page 37 of the manual says this means I have HSDPA available. Does the GPRS monitor also monitor HSDPA?

Makes sure you have checked the date you are viewing the GPRS data, I am not sure how to monitor the HPDPA, I need to monitor that also for 3G, maybe some-one else can help with this?
Check out this free sofware from Modaco.com. You can disable your GPRS/3G data connection (useful when roaming):
http://www.modaco.com/New-FREE-Utility-t246171.html
I worked it out. Page 219 of the manual shows the 'Enable connection monitoring' setting, which I had not enabled. After enabling it - it works fine.
On which CD have you found it? I got that information in the Manual, but I can't find any PPC program on any of the cds (got 2).

It is not available on my cd. maybe it depends on the country you live. I live in Switzerland
Its on the same CD as the manual. You run it on the PC and it is automatically downloaded and deployed to the Diamond.
Can you disable the data connection so it is never used?

Tell us the names of all of the files in the root directories of each of your CDs.
I would like that Oprah asks me if my WIFI connection breaks.. "Do you want to enable data over 3G? Yes / no"... 3G data is really expensive here.

Hi,
Tried googling & forum search with no luck.
As per the subject, is it possible to stop windows mobile to auto-connect to 3G/GPRS when a program requires internet connection?
- I'd like to have a confirmation before attempting to connect 3G.
- If Wifi is present, use Wifi instead of 3G.
Is there any program/tweaks to do the above ?
thanks in advance
use an application called modaco NO DATA

Wheras I have seen you post this link in a few other threads, I would like to know WHY this auto connect is happening. Is it due just to the new WM 6.1 update or an application change.
I am suffering from this annoying connection and have stock HTC WM6.1 (latest)
The new Mobimate Worldmate Live (which is my prime suspect) with auto update disabled!
and Resco Explorer (which checks for registration but was OK before WM6.1).
No auto email checks or pushmail setup.
???
autoconnect is a feature in all ppc windows since wm5
it can be annoying for some of us but for some people it is a bliss cuz they need to be connected 24/7
use a 3rd party and toggle off/on between connections - do it the hard way

advanced configuration that is available on this forum has a timer that will disconnect after so many seconds of non-use, plus a bunch of other settings.
I think the thing that bugs me the most is I would like to know WHAT is trying to auto connect.
In Symbian phones you get a little pop-up that tells you the app that is trying to connect and do you wish to give it permission now and for the future, in WM you have no idea and whatever it is as it does not show up in task manager.
the problem is named upside: I can get the new data for the weather tab in t3fd, but quickGPS wont load (theres NoDATA running) Has anybody an idea?
Thx
Boris
When you open Quick GPS, en menu/Options you can select to download data via AS (third option).
Thx, but of course i choosed this option .... the thing is that TP says, that it cant connect... if i deactivate nodata, everything is ok, but the weather is updatet even if if nodata is activated, that is what i dont understand ...
Thx
Boris
Hello,
Who has a solution to update the weather with ActivSynch AUTOMATICALLY ?
To be more precise:
When I plug TP2 to PC, it starts up and syncs. QuickGPS updates itself automatically.
For the weather is not like this, it must go on the weather tab, and then do an update (automatic or manual).
I hope that the weather updates without going to the weather tab, just simply plug the TP2 to the computer.
Thanks
