looking for a way to stop the htc diamond of connecting to the internet all the time i would like to do this on a manual basis , thanks
Edit the title of the thread... you might get a better response rate.
you could remove the connection under Start --> Settings --> Connections --> Connections then tap and hold and choose delete.
and you will get flamed for such a useless title for your post

yeah.. do that..
and then everytime you want to connect to the net... enter the settings again.
OR..
WHY Don't you just disable everything that is starting off your internet on it's own.
That could include the Weather updates (set it to manual), Scheduled Downloading of your emails (set it to manual),
Push mail
hell, could be anything depending on what you have installed on your diamond.
JFTR, Just to make things clear - when I suggested editing the title of the thread - I do not mean something like WM6.1 HTC Touch Diamond
I mean, a title which would reflect your problem ...
only made the suggestion if he didnt need to use the dial up connection (i dont)

Anywone out there who knows how to disable the GPRS notification balloon so that it wont pop up everytime GPRS connects to the network?
Should be easy with a registry tweak, but i havn't found anything. All the entrys in the registry regarding to notifications seems to point to the balloons in the bottom of homescreen.
check this thread for an awesome tweaking tool for your Wizard...
Great, thanx. Allthough i need the registry settings for since we are developing a software where the Balloons aren't suppose to pop up`?

I guess you could find them in "registry tweaks.doc", that was published in that thread. Although I didn't find resgitry setting to disable that baloon .
I don't get any GPRS balloon/popup - the only way for me to know I'm on GPRS is to closely eye the connections icon and see if it's either the big G (GPRS-available) or the small G (GPRS-connected).
We could compare registry dumps or something, but let's make sure I'm not-not seeing things, first. What is a sure-fire way for you to get the GPRS balloon thingy?
I get the balloon everytime GPRS gets connected.
Its the balloon at the TOP of the display that tells you that you are connecting o GPRS.

I guess I've found. I disabled notification on connection establishing (Start/Settings/Sounds and Notifications) and now I have no balloon.
Also I've found registry setting for that:
HKCU\ControlPanel\Notificaitions\{8ddf46e7-56ed-4750-9e58-afc6ce486d03}\Options=DWORD:0
Works fine, thank you...How did you find the registry key?
ah, doesn't need a reg hack, then %) Must've disabled that a long time ago.
three ways to find a registry entry...
A. search
B.1 dump the registry
B.2 make the change
B.3 dump the registry again
B.4 compare the two dumps
C. use something like CeRegSpy to track registry accesses

Thank you for tips, I look for registry spy for a long time.
Just be sure to mail the author - you need a WM5-compatible version, and he's still working on perfecting that (the version I have works, but sometimes complains about the driver not being loaded).
Great, thanx, i´ll take a look at it.
Does any know how to disable the "Cannot Connect" balloon when a gprs session fails to connect?
After doing:
Start > Settings > Sounds & Notifications > Notifications Tab > Pull down menu and choose "Connection Established" > Uncheck "Display message on screen" > Press "Ok"
... I still get the "cannot connect" ballon too. Anyone know how to disable that rotten ballon?
Is this the "Holy Grail" of registry hacks?
I've been searching high and low and when anyone asks how to disable that infernal "cannot connect" ballon on many web sites, no one answers.
Could someone just tell me if it's impossible to disable or not?
I find the windows mobile connection manager to be really horrible. Is there a more intuitive replacement available ? I'm not talking about the one with the HTC rom that just turns the various radios on/off.
It sure seems like there should be something with a scrollable list of connections (wifi / cellular / vpn) with a simple "connect" and "disconnect" button handy.
The way windows mobile does it just isn't intuitive at ALL.
Any thoughts on this ?
Thanks !
Couldn't agree more, speaking as someone who has just spent an entire weekend trying to get applications to work with my wifi and most of this morning trying to get my email working again (silly me, I should have "My ISP" selected).
And I never even touched the settings and Vodafone put the settings on there themselves!
There must be a better way?
I am using PhoneAlarm and the skin provides direct icons to switch On / Off the GPRS Radio the WiFi Radio and the BlueTooth. The icons also have indicator lights so that you know the status of a particular Radio
Hope this helps
couldn't agree more, is there anyway we can map one of the buttons to Comm manager? Any registry hack for that? I recently did the PTT button hack and looking to link it to Comm manager...
by default there's a button on the today screen on the kaiser right out of the box. There's a ton of hacks and ways to change it if you arent happy. It amazes me that people buy this phone and dont know how to upgrade/change things. MyFirstPhone sounds like a much better phone for some.

Either the 6 or 10 button comm manager does exactly what you describe, but don't want. If you don't like it, create your own app to do it.
Personally, I am very, very grateful for the apps and utilities that people have created on this site. My life is so much easier.
I mapped the 10 button comm manager to my PTT button, so it's one button and one click to turn on/off any radio. It is NOT going to get any easier than that.

No, it doesn't.
Show me where you can disconnect and/or connect a VPN connection in the 6 or 10 button comm manager.
Screen shots happily accepted.

Some people you can never please....
It can control all RADIOS, which is what I stated. Some people complain about having to make a couple of extra clicks. The 10 button comm manager makes my life quite a bit easier, that's why I suggested it.

heh that makes me wonder also. its not the end of the world if you have to use an extra button press but some people will do anything to save one button press or complain their phone wont do what they want
A half solution ?
Hi
You can use mortscript “connect” function to start RAS connections of your choice, not only the "default connection" selected in "Start > Settings > Connections > Connections > Advanced > Select Networks".
Leave in selected connections a dummy connection without any modem or vpn definition (like My Work Network) in both Internet profile and Private profile. In This configuration WM can’t make a connection himself (no un-wanted connection).
For disconnection I use the disconnect button in top bar connection status provide by Schap’s Advanced configuration : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=317070
I write a little mortscript exemple to start RAS connections and exclude in choice list default system connection (Work, The Internet, WAP Network, etc…) : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1794522&postcount=181
You can also use BaterryStatus Advanced Edition with his Phone-TrayIcon : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=270751

Hi everybody, right now I try to set up the HTC Diamond for my father, so far so easy .
I just have one major (and one minor) problem:
Is there a way to forbit the Diamond to go online at all? Right now, when you by chance hit the weather button, he just starts to establish a data connection. The Diamond is not supposed to go online at all over the normal cell phone network (probably over WLAN, but that is not important). Is there a way to disable that, or at least ask if you want to go online?
And the minor problem/question, is there a way to configure which buttons are on the bottom? E.g. he doesn't need to have E-Mail there.
Thanx a lot for your help , and I hope, I haven't overlooked a thread with the awsers .
Try remove the grps settings in settings \ connections \ connections \ manage connections. It should't connect if it does't have a connections to use
Use TF3D Config to remove tabs. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=405749
I removed mail, internet and contacts myself.
or try 'NO DATA' its a cab file in artemis section, you can select and deselect real easy
Thanx a lot for the quick help. TF3D and deleting the connection did the job . I will use NoData.cab for my self, as soon as the HTC Touch pro is out and in my hands.

It's much more easyer to disable autoupdate in weather panel- options . You can disable mail panel using tf3d config.Disable 3g and that's it. You can go online every time you want.
My father has the incredible talent by having no idea what he does, he finally makes the think he isn't supposed . I actually already disablked the weather feature, but he worked his magic.
Good thread! I was wondering this too. But my phone connects with 3G if i am in oprah and my WLAN connection died for a second. I will try nodata though!
Hi i have set my Diamond to check my email every 30mins but it does not turn off the GPRS once its checked it. is there a software or tweak that will allow me to do this.
Blumin COSTLY!!!!
Use Schap´s Advanced Config to select a timeout for an idle data connection (amongst so many other things/tweaks.....)....
Sorry can you show step by step where to config the timeout?
THX in advance.
Thanks for the reply i used schaps but it does not state a time out period.
From anywhere in the application go down to bottom right hand side and tap menu
then go to connection settings, there you should see a box with Disconnect after and a selection of timings. Hope this helps.
Hi,
and thanks for your help...I supposed it could be the right setting, but I thought that by doing it, it will stop any kind of data connection, even if I'm on the web. I mean it should stop data connection anyway according to the setting...no metter if system is checking for new mail or I'm with safari on the web...
I think that it will only stop data connection if there is no action for xxx minutes, ie if there is no information being transferred. So, if you are actively browsing or downloading email or whatever, then it won't shut the connection down.
Well...tested and it worked...at least for mail chaking...now I have to test it with safari on...
Thanx a lot again!

+1. Just a question box saying "Do you want to run on wifi? Yes No" . Kinda annoying to have to go into commanager everytime I need Wifi.
1 vote from me too! Very smart and useful.
Not a popup but toggle, just save to start menu, then you don't have to go into comm manager everytime to enable wifi http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=419005
I use AEbutton, and configure it to toggle wifi with a triple click on hang up button ^^

Yeah, had the same problem too. Use DiamondTweak, scroll trough the various options there and you'll find what to disable. I think it's item 6.3 or something.
