Bugs with 1.93 (asia) wwe
Hotmail does not like to connect via WiFI, always get connected or established GPRS/3G using phone data despite wifi is on. No problem using live messenger or using other pocket explorer / opera over wifi. So baffling. Hard reset but still remain. Anyone has the same problem?
secondly, the keyboard (full QWERTY) sometimes appear with different font. I will try to upload somephotos if i managed to see that again.
Actually i have the same issues, sort of. Wlivemessenger sometimes just won't connect over 3g/hsdpa but hotmail works like it should.
About the keyboard, that's a weird one, had noticed it before often enough. It goes away when switching to compact qwerty and then back to normal qwerty.
Oh and i have it on me dutch 1.93 rom.
I have als noticed a bug:
If you start the Calendar from HTC-Home, it always start in the "Agenda" view no matter if you have selected another view in the Calendar Options (like Day-view).
I too have noticed a lot of bugs with the Europe 1.93 ROM, on my phone the tasks program is not listed anywhere not in programs. Tasks is on the device luckily I'm using Agendus. Can't say I'm very impressed so far, it's definately quicker, but what on earth made them put the Video Call option on the phone.

That is intended behaviour - happened with the other official ROMs as well.

hard keys not responding!!!
Hi ... after upgrading from 1.37 to 1.93 rom
- everything was ok for about a day.
- after trying to configure manualy the 3G settings the "answer key", "back key" and "hang up key" stopped responding.
Other possible reasons for the problem could be:
-sync with vista without deliting the previews syng settings for the same device.
-Windows_Mobile_Desktop_6.1 (not sure but everything started after I installed that app....)
I did like the speed of the 1.93 Rom but I'm going back to 1.37 which is at the HTC site for Europe until they release something new.
Any ideas or suggestions!!!!???

I got exactly the same problem with hotmail and my french official HTC 1.93 ROM. Everything works, even WLM, but not hotmail synch , if I am not connected before to WLM.
Tried to install an older version of WLM, but it breaked more again, so I'm good for a reflash. I will test hotmail by wifi before making any tweak to see if it comes from the rom...

I played with all these parameters.
You can effectively make hotmail synch by wifi working great, but then you have no GPRS/EDGE/3G data so when you don't have wifi access, you have to rechange these settings.
In the previous 1.37 rom, wifi was always prior to edge, even to synch hotmail.
Sorry for my poor frenchie english
if you have these correct it should connect via wifi when available wifi and 3g when you have no

It should, yes, but it bugs. But all other programs work perfectly : wifi when available, Data network connection if not.

I've made an Hard reset and the problem is still the same.
With your solution, it still wants to connect throuth 3G/EDGE.
I realy thinks this is a problem with 1.93 ROM, more exactly the WLM version built in.
I think that the hotmail sychro module of WLM, if launched alone without launching WLM (by doing SEND/receive in message manager), doesn't check if a data connection is already active and launchs automaticaly the connection witch is in the top dropdown box of the menu you told.
But when WLM is launched and connected first, it detects the wifi and use it, and then the hotmail module uses it too...
Everything worked "normaly" in 1.37 ROM.
I will reflash completely my diamond with 1.93 ROM to see, but I've got no hope.....
intersting problem.
The main problem i found with WLM in 1.93 is that it uses your "work" or "private network" connection to connect to the internet and not your "internet"
Nearly all other programe use your "internet" connection which is usually set up for internet (both wifi and gprs)
The "work" connection is default to "wap" connection which forces it to only use "GPRS" this makes you have the no wifi problem.
It is unusualy that now you changed your "private" or "work" connection to use "internet" that you still have this problem.
I have a french 1.93 ROM installed on a friends diamond and will investigate at the weekend and try to give better help to you.

Thank you.
The worst is that if WLM is launched first and connected, everything's fine. And if I disconnect WLM or close it, send/receive open a cellular data connection.
with wifi card netword setting to "internet" or "work", the issue is the same.
I'm going to reflash to see if it's a problem of rom install (don't think so but with chance...)

problem with T MOBLE WING
I have the same problem , I even did try connect to my home Wifi it show connected ,but doesn't open to the website I want to ,can some one help,thanks
I had the same problem, I installed batterystatus, and checked the option to disable gprs when wlan is on, and now it works fine...
You don't need batterystatus to do this (the software just does it automatically for you), you can do it by yourself by disabling "data connection" in the connection manager whenever you turn on the wifi radio
-Hope it helps
t-mobile wing wifi problems
I had a similar problem with my wing. It would connect to unsecured WIFI networks and work flawlessly but when I connect to a secured network it would work for about 1 min then just hang while downloading a web page. If you device is doing this send it back to t-mobile and get a new one. This is what I had to do. hopefully you have a warranty.
I just got my T-Mobile Wing and I think I have the same problem. It just doesn't want to work with my WPA-secured Wi-Fi. When I switch WPA off, it works fine.
Did anyone else had a problem like this?
Called T-Mobile, they have nothing like that in their knowledge base.
I got this problem when i installed HTC 10 Button comm manager. I uninstalled it and WiFi works again.
Hope this helps
i have somewht of a similar problem, since ive had my Wing i have been unable to use my wi-fi, when i turn it on it says connected and shows me the lil meter and everythin but when i try browsing or downloadin it just hangs and does nothing until i turn the wi-fi off...i have no clue why i have learned to live without it but would appreciate any help...thanks
Try this it work for me. Whenever you want to connect to secure wpa do this before you make the connection
Start > Setting > Connections > Wifi Status > Power Mode > Move the slide "Best Performance"
Your wing should be able to connect to secure wpa.
Hope this help.

Thank Ayodeji13. He answered this in the 5th post. ^_^ But, yea, I've done the same thing before and was lucky to realize where the problem was coming from. Unfortunately, it didn't help me with the crappy wifi signal that my Wizard provided me. The wing, on the other hand, is MUCH better at this.

Thanks mate... I too was having issues connecting to wifi... its kind of strange... it was connecting to my home network for sometime but later it suddenly stopped. It will connect to other networks but not to my secured network. Today I tried the setting you mentioned and surprisingly my phone connected to my home network... I wonder why because this setting should improve the performance and not the connectivity itself... Thanks again
you can add me to the list of people with wifi issues. I can't connect to my wireless router and I'm stand two feet away from it. It shows up but when I try to connect it says unavailable. I've done everything from turning the data off, to setting the power to best performance but it won't connect.
I need help... Whenever I connect it says I'm connected but actually I'm not. Yesterday I could view directions using live search but couldnt browse the web, not i cant do both. it gets stuck on the locating... part of loading the website. sometimes it gets to opening but the KB bar doesnt come up and it gives me some 500 internal error, or page doesn't exist. I cant do the best performance thing because im using touch it 2.3 rom and i dont have wifi status anymore.
WHY DO YOU HAVE TO REMOVE THAT STUF?!! URGH! I dont even have msn!
But anyways, can someone help me connect to the internet?...
TRY THIS
I have the same problem, i i manage to fix my wifi connectivity by editing the registry.....try this at your own risk.....but swear it works for me. i used total commander to edit registry and go to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SOFTWARE > HTC > Comm Manager >
then you will see folders 0 - 8 or some only have 0 - 7 ,delete folders 6 and up ........ ( I JUST MOVE MINE instead of DELETING IT< I MOVE IT TO STORAGE CARD SO IF SOMETHIN GOFF UP I CAN JUST PUT IT BACK )....
SOFT RESET then try turn your wifi ON , connect to your network.... til me if this works for u guys...
i think the value of those folders are bum hehehehe thats why it wont connect......., after connecting to your wifi secured or not , it will create another folder and add those folders back by default...but this time the good settings lolz its worth a try !
Ok this is realy frustrating. My wing was getting on my secured home network and npw it dose not. I read all the post and have tried some (the ones that I could understand). I dont have the option under battery status to disable gspr or gpsr. And my system is vista 64 so total commder dosen seem to work for reg settings(edits). I can conect to unsecure networks but I cant to my hone (secure) network. I have in the past but it dsent ssem to work now?
I have recently procured an HTC Diamond mobile and is facing the following problem:
I have a Linksys Router at home. When I switch on the Wi-Fi in my Diamond, it gets connected to the router. In the status, I can see the signal strength, Tx, Rx rate etc. But when I open the browser (both opera & IE), the web pages does not open. Error message stating check the url or does any other programme using the internet works? appears. Even my weather does not get updated. Using the same router, I am able to connect my laptop as well as my desktop to Internet.
When my diamond is synced using active sync, my mobile is able to connect to the Internet & Weather application also get updated.
Kindly help me to resolve this issue and make diamond connect to net using wi-fi.
Thank you in advance.
I have the same problem sometimes
I just changed parameter in settings -> connections -> wireless lan -> power mode -> "best performance" instead of "best battery" and it seems to work now.
I'm new to WM, so I don't know if it's a bug: when I don't use my phone I press the power button, or I wait it to go to "sleep mode" in 40s.
When I press power button to reactivate the screen, I can see in the first seconds that the wlan was disconnected and connects again.
So it seems that wifi is always disconnected when the phone is in sleep mode? That means no mails can be received ? Can anyone confirm?
Thanks
Hi there for both of you!
I had a connection problem with my Diamond at home. It was almost the same as tkak just I couldn't figure out whether ActiveSync connects or not. I managed to bypass this to set my routers DHCP timeout from 1 week to 3 hours and it all went away. The network status showed periodic connect/reconnect during the problem so it might be a different prob than yours.
Peio64:
WM6 keeps WiFi connection asleep during sleep mode. Imagine the battery usage if it was connected to WiFi all the time. So be happy with that and beside it is usable. WiFi automatically tries to connect to the closest hot-spot if it was connected before each time you switch on. Normally it shouldn't take more than 5-10 seconds and the whole process can be followed on the top bar.
Mails: Use DirectPush and GPRS connection and e-mails will arrive instantly. Google for setting this up. With Wifi I dunno - if you schedule ActiveSync for a periodic check whether your WiFi will be used or a new GPRS connection. I think GPRS can be used while the device is asleep but I'm not sure. Someone should test this. Probably whichever is quicker to build up a connection will be used for data transfer. (Note: on some forum I read that if you disable GPRS auto check with a tweak battery will last longer so I guess this means that GPRS is always connected.
Regs, Cina.
Does your diamond obtain an IP adress from your router, and is the connection setup as 'connects to internet'?

Thank you for your answer,
I had a SE P1i before, and wifi was connected all the time with push mail. With the diamond and its weaker battery, I set up my mails schedule to connect every 15 min so wifi only needs to be active every 15min, even in sleep mode, I don't want it to be connected all the time this is of course a battery waste.
HSDPA is connecting in sleep mode there's no problem with that, I just wish to use wifi for mails when I'm at home as my data plan is unlimited for web surfing but only 10Mo/month for pop/imap connections.
BTW I don't use the "keylock" option, is it different from sleep mode in this case? I can't see the advantage of keylock versus sleep mode
I had an ETEN M600 for ages before and I found that for sync it always used GPRS even if WiFi was available. The cause for this was GPRS was available while device is asleep so it can start syncing immediately after wake up (does it needs to wake up for sync?). So you probably have to switch GPRS (HSDPA) off while you're at home.
Keylock is for locking hardware buttons and touchscreen while it is active. (You won't dial up anyone from your pocket). It has nothing to do with sleeping just if you set up the registry tweak the device get locked (Keylock software is started) if you press power to send it to sleep. (I've almost written "off" but it is obviously not true - you can switch it off with a long press on power = soft reset).
Hope this helped a bit.
Cina
Okay thank you, I checked and HSDPA is connecting every 15min in sleep mode even with wifi ON. If I switch data off I suppose nothing connects and no mail is received, which is I think it's a weird behaviour.
By the way, I have set my data connection to swich off 10 seconds after not being used, and it works perfectly and reconnects automatiquely when it needs to. But for the wifi I can find that option, it's stays connected all the time when I use the phone, even if I don't need to. Is it possible?
Maybe it's due to the fact that it's always checking if there are new networks? On Symbian UIQ3, you can pre-configure networks, give manually priorities for each networks (1.Wlan work, 2.Wlan home, 3.3G etc..) and for each application (web, mail, etc). When the phone connects it checks if the network "1" is available, if it's not it checks the network "2", and once it's connected it doesn't check anymore. Is there a WM6 advanced network tool like that?
(Sorry for my english)
I did the following and now it gets connected to the web:
I just changed parameter in settings -> connections -> wireless lan -> power mode -> "best performance" instead of "best battery".
I do not know why this needs to be done like this.
Thankyou all for resolving my problem
I'm experiencing problems connecting to my WL Router (DrayTek 2820n) using WiFi when the router is set to Auto instead of to a specific channel. I've noticed from some threads for other mobiles that people are exprience similar problems. Does anybody knows what is the story around which channels are supported on WiFi: 1-11, 1-12 or 1-13. My router is set to 13 by default. In addtion to that Diamond has problem to connect to some channels even in the 1-11 range. So how can I check, which channels are supported and for which region?
Edit: I did further testing and it became obvious that when using Auto channel selection on the router, Diamond wouldn't connect. When selecting manually any channel between 1-11 it works OK, but when selection channels 12-13 it stops working, which makes me believe that the Diamond doesn't have support for the channels for non-US regions.
Does anybody have any idea how to change wifi region to support 12-13 channels as well? So far I couldn't find anything on the net that would help me doing it. Is it possible that it might be WM 6.1 issue and not Diamond?
HI I am actually having a diffirent issue but still related to wi-fi. When my phone awakes from sleep, it promts me to connect to my wi-fi server at home, when it was already connected jus minutes before. I have to re-enter the pass phrase everytime it awakes from sleep. This does not seem normal as my 6.0 touch didnt do that.
Any takers on this?
For more channels, it depend of US version or EU version. You need to changer your firmware but the problem is that in France for Internet you use PPoA and Belgium PPoE and I do not know if in the US they use the same so you will probebly losse your ability to connect to the Internet. Having more channels is not interesting because you need a hope of 5 between channels ( ex : ch1 + 5 = ch 6 and ch6 + 5 = ch11) between ch1 and ch6 place a ch11 for avoiding interferances. In 802.11g that is a question of scheme.
Sorry for my poor English.
Problem connecting to home network wifi
Hi, i've been using diamond to connect to my wifi home network but since few days is not possible anymore even if nothing was changed in the settings of the router.
The phone recognize the network as available, i push connect, it comes connecting but instead of connecting to the netwok it goes back to available.
Password is correct and the setting are the same as few days ago.
Any idea which setting should be modified?
Thanks in advance!

Hello everyone,
I have one problem with my diamond. I disabled the "data transfer" with the improved comm manager. I usually use wifi when i'm home, however, i've seen that even though wifi is active, HSDPA connection is activated as well so i got charged, this sometimes happens when updating weather data or downloading emails.
Anyone with the same problem?
Yes - having he same problem.
I have WIFI at home and at work - so i want to use GPRS only when i am outside. never managed to do this - except when i kill GPRS fully - and even then Opera, the weather and push-mail wont work. :-(
WiFi Channels 12-13?
I need to bump up this issue again.
I can't find anywhere in this forum how would you change your WiFi channel range from US to EU (i.e. 1-11 to 1-13). My Diamond was purchased in Australia and I was hoping that the new SW upgrade would rectify that, but it looks to me that's not the case. Any idea if that can be done in registry?
Thanks.
Change Channel range from 1-11 to 1-13
***Bump***
Has anybody got any ideas how to increase the channel range from 1-11 to 1-13?
Hi, I am having a seperate problem from all that are listed. I have the linksys rangeplus router, and my Diamond wont even detect my network when it searches, yet my computer and PS3 do fine. Can anyone help me?
another problem...
Hi,
i have a problem with the wifi on my Diamond aswell..
I have a router at home which is encrypted. When I try to connect to it, I type the encryption key and it says Connected but i cant surf any pages. When i go back to wifi settings my home network switches between Not available and Connecting...
However, when i remove the encryption, everything seems to work fine. Since i dont want to treat my neighbors with free internet, does anyone have any tips for me?
(it is set to Best performance... +i'm sure i enter the right key...)
Thanx
The same over here... I found out, that some of cooked ROMs had this problem, but official worked. Before I couldn't connect via WPA2-PSK AES, all other encryptions worked. Until now... I tried to flash official ROM and RADIO, but it doesn't work anymore. I'm pretty sure it must be hardware problem. I need to send my Diamond to get fixed, but... The closest repair centre is in Prague (GSMobile)
!!!!!!!!!!!!!BUT BE AWARE!!!!!!!!!!!
I owned previously Qtek8310. After I send them my Qtek to replace the joystick, it came back with broken motherboard... This repeated 3 times and everytime they broke something else. I've got my Qtek8310 back as a total crap, destroyed and scratched... I called and send a claim to HTC Europe in London, but nothing happened since then. I don't believe them anymore. If you love your Diamond avoid to get it fixed in GSMobile!
A strange problem..
I recently got GPRS activated on my sim..
When i try connecting on my Diamond, the E becomes active and it tries to connect.. But after abt 30 secs to a min, it says "Cannot connect for an unknown reason... etc etc.."
I initially thought it was a problem with the network..
But, when i put the same sim in my old Asus P525, set up the connection and tried to connect, the G became active and got connected within a few seconds!!!
From then i've been tryin to connect on my Diamond and have got connected about twice with E in the signal bar.. But that must've been some freak accident cos after a few hours i tried connecting w/o changing any of the settings and absolutely no luck!
I've tried almost all the cooked ROM's. And different radios.
Right now i'm on the Official WWE ROM 1.93.
Hard SPL 1.23 or 1.24.
And 1.00.25.03 Radio.
Any idea about what's wrong, guys?
Make sure you have the correct GPRS/WAP settings installed on your HTC Diamond.
There are different settings for Payandgo and Contract SIM cards.
You can try searching Google for them, or if you live in the UK try this website: http://www.filesaveas.com/gprs.html

prank1, the settings are right..
That's why it's working on my old phone..
I think it may have somethin to do with Edge and GPRS..
Maybe my service provider does not have Edge capabilities..
If i'm able to restrict my Diamond to try and connect to Edge and connect to GPRS instead, it may work..
Any way that could be done?

My bad - didnt see the 'set up connection' bit so I assumed you didnt have the correct settings.
I had this problem once but it went away with a ROM upgrade - that was when I had the XDA Orbit.
The problem may be that my phone does not try connecting to GPRS and directly tries to connect Edge..
Isn't the connection supposed to be G-E-3G, in that order?
Is there any way i can prevent my phone tryin to connect to Edge?
Can i make GPRS as first preference instead?
Anybody? Please?
From what i heard my diamond doesn't support US( or Canada which is where i live) 3g because of diamonds hardware so that's why it only connects to edge which is really slow... anyways to connect i had to phone rogers my wireless provider and they gave me my username and password which was needed to connect online. So i'm guessing it's the same for you if you go to
Settings > Connections > rogers internet( for mine) > Manage existing connection

From what i heard my diamond doesn't support US( or Canada which is where i live) 3g because of diamonds hardware so that's why it only connects to edge which is really slow... anyways to connect i had to phone rogers my wireless provider and they gave me my username and password which was needed to connect online. So i'm guessing it's the same for you if you go to
Settings > Connections > rogers internet( for mine) > Manage existing connection

Hey.. That doesn't seem to be the prob since i can get it to work on my old PDA with the same settings..
That phone gets connected and it shows 'G'.
What might help me is somethin to block my phone tryin to connect to Edge before it even tries to connect to GPRS..
I don't think that's practical, but wishful thinking..
I've had the same issue with my Diamond, I know for sure that the network settings are correct as it sometime connects fine and other times I keep getting the "Cannot connect for an unknown reason..." error- only a soft reset would resolve the issue. Seems a bit random but am trying to monitor what is causing it.
It always used to work fine on my Hermes. BTW I'm using Dutty's ROM on my Diamond.

Yeah.. Sounds almost like my prob..
Could it be a rare manufacturing defect sort of thing thats affecting our phones?
Cos nobody else seems to have such an issue..
And i keep changing between Dutty's and Panosha's ROM..
I don't know if it's same problem you have ,
but I had kinda same problem..
I found that the lame ActiveSync change the proxy of my internet connection and put in the internet connection proxy my local proxy at work, even I removed the proxy it didn't help (dunno why) , just by adding new connection from the advance and adding new name etc.. it solve the problem...

I've only had my Diamond (MDA Compact IV) for only about 3-4 weeks. I was so keen to flash to a different ROM that I did so within 10-15 hours of receiving the device; my point being that I didn't get to try out my data connection on the stock T-Mobile ROM.
The connection seems to be fine today...!

Hmmm.. I don't think i have the exact same problem, but somethin similar..
I'll try adding a new connection..
Thanx..
As I know something with Activesync **** the GPRS connection..
Let us know if you solve your problem with new connection...
Ok.. Note the "E" in the first pic and in the second..
The first one is 'clear' and the second one is 'hazy'!
When the "E" is 'clear', my GPRS connects!!!
I found this out after putting a different sim card of a different network and connecting..
When i put the other sim card, i got 'clear' "E" and GPRS worked..
Then i put back my old sim card and on switching on the phone, the "E" was still 'clear'!!
On tryin to connect, it worked!!!! Even after several manual diconnections, it worked only cos the "E" was still 'clear'..
Then i reset my phone with my sim card and got the 'hazy' "E".. And back to square one.. Not connecting..
My question is, what does this 'hazy' "E" mean and how do i make it 'clear'???! Only then my GPRS seem to work!
Help!!!!!!
This is how it is when connected properly..
Cannot connect for an unknown reason
I also had this problem. To make my story short, I have a data plan with Claro Peru which I have been using with my Touch (not 3G phone) with no problems. 3 days ago I acquired my Diamond 3G US version. When attempted to connect to the HSDPA I got the error mentioned here (cannot connect for..., sometimes the "H" symbol was difusse [like in the picture in a previous post in this thread], etc). The root cause of this was that my data plan only have GPRS/EDGE activated, my network provider (Claro) differentiates 2G internet vs 3G (so no HSDPA/UMTS until subscribing to a new plan).
The **SOLUTION** for my case was to select under "Select your network type" the option GSM (Start, Settings, Phone, Band tap). The option Auto was the default. Thus restricting to EDGE my data connection (which is according to my plan). Also, on the same tap I selected UMTS(850+1900)+GSM(850+1900) under "Select you GSM/UMTS band". You have to select here the frequencies according to your country.
P.S. The problem was the same before and after I updagred my ROM to RUU_Diamond_HTC_WWE_2.03.405.3_Radio_Signed_Diamond_52.51.25.26_1.09.25.23_Ship. So, two things to mention here. 1, A ROM upgrade is not the solution for this problem (in my case). 2, you can upgrade the Diamond US version (my is DIAM110) with a WWE ROM upgrade.
Hope this help someone.

I have the Diamond on T-Mobile in the UK with the web'n'walk plan (HSDPA enabled - although not the higher-speed "plus" version). This happens to me every single time I'm in a GPRS-only area - when I have HSDPA coverage, it connects fine. In order to get it to connect, I have to open the Comm Manager, turn off the data connection and re-activate it.
Before anyone asks, my connection settings are all correct and I've tried numerous different main and radio ROMs - nothing makes a difference. I'll give this a shot, see if it makes a difference.

OK, I would try the option Auto for the "Select your network type" so the phone auto negotiates the technology in use (between GPRS or the much better HSDPA), but change the option for the bands according to your country.
Let us know the results!
hello,
I have just purchased the new TD 2, it is the first phone of this kind that I use (up till now I have only used Nokia Business phones)
Although I considered myself a person that knows his way around how to use a mobile phone, I was surprised to actually be forced to read the manual for the HTC TD2 - unfortunately the information in the manual is general and did not help me at all...
ok so here are the problems I hit:
1. For internet access I have activated "Vodafone Live!" packet with my network (Vodafone) - (internet works fine with no probs)
However, whenever I am near a Wi-Fi zone I would like to use that Wi-Fi signal to connect to the internet and NOT my "Vodafone Live!" setting.
I could find NO way to select how to use Wi-Fi and not the other preset network. (As far as I can see the phone still uses Vodafone Live! and not the Wi-Fi, although I previously manually connected to the Wi-Fi and I tested on my other phone that it is working...)
2. With my other business phone (nokia) whenever I stop using the internet page the phone disconnects (the 2 arrows disappear) but with TD2 I have the impression that even when I exit from Opera or IE the phone still remains connected somehow to the internet - how can I make it disconnect and not use the battery for no reason ?
The only way I found to manually disconnect it is going to START / Settings / Communications / the Push Data Connection button to OFF.
Is there any automatic way to do that whenever I quit the browser?
Thank you in advance for u`r help

The Touch Diamond 2 will use an active WIFI connection over your Vodafone Live! connection. If you are wanting to connect to a Public WIFI zone, then simply select the WIFI connection that you want from you list on the "Connect to Wi-Fi network" screen.

If this really bothers you there are applications dotted around here on XDA devs that will automaticaly disconnect your internet connection after a preset amount of time. That said though, just because the TD2 has a connection to the internet, does not mean that it is transmitting any data and does not use up any of your internet allowance and also it will not drain your battery that much.
Thank you very much for the explanations and u`r time!
Regarding the first problem above that is good news, although I don’t like it that I don’t have full control over it.
for example I’m going abroad next week for 10 days and I rly don’t want to use the Vodafone live! option as it will cost as hell
an option where I could be prompted and asked if I want it enabled or not - would have been great...
guess ill just delete it from the connections tab and reinstall it when I get back in my country - seems to be the only safe option.
One more thing,
Whenever I try to access a video-clip over the internet (using the IE not the Opera) the phone automatically directs to the program STREAMING VIDEOS program)
And here the clip ONLY works if I select to connect over “THE INTERNET” – why ??
For example if I go to Streaming Videos / Networks, I can find the following:
Vodafone Live!
Vodafone MMS
Mobile internet
My Work Network
My ISP
Work
Secure Wap Network
The Wap Network
The internet
What the heck are all those ??? I only know of “Vodafone Live!” - and the straming video does not work when I select it … it only works when I select THE internet (like I said above)
Ah, if you are going abroad or just anywhere that you don't want to use Vodafone Live!, there is a little application called "NoData" which allows you to toggle your data connections on/off.
Will edit this post once I find where it is again.

As for streaming videos, I've never used it so can't say.

Indeed, NoData is a handy tool.
What you can also use is the following one found on XDA-devs:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=503131
It will automatically turn off your data connection when you're not on your standard network.
It isn't perfect, but it works well and the developer is really listening to all suggestions and very active.
you guys are a pice of heaven
thank you again for all u`r help
question, this program NoData, also stops Wi-Fi data transfers or just network ?
thank you
NoData will only stop phone network connections. You will be able to use wifi as normal.
Hi,
I use iGo8 and TomTom 7 and with both of these applications, everytime I close them I can see that they openend the GPRS connection (internet mobile)... my internet has no limit of use so it's not much of a money issue but the battery is going down pretty fast beacause of this background running data connection ...
Is there something I could do ?
Install nodata.cab from modaco

Thanks for the reply. I tested the software you pointed out. It's a solution except that its pretty boaring to have to lock the internet connection everytime you need to use the GPS (for it's 15 to 20 times a day with a new adress) ...
Any idea on how to disable the connection only for the GPS software ?
EDIT : even with all connections disabled with nodata, the gsp still manages to open the connection !
I had exactly the same problem. I tried the same cab as you and it didn't work... I tired creating a bogus connection and selected it to try and stop the GPRS connection as someone else advised but a GPRS connection kept on opening itself...
Do what I did and flash a stock HTC ROM over your SFR one... It completely solved the problem for me.
You might want to dump the old SFR one first for guarantee reasons.
I use igo8 and it never turns on the GPRS connection.
I don't know if this is the cause, but can you check if assist GPS is ON or OFF?
Mine is OFF which is the default behavior...
If you don't have it, you'll need an app like "Advanced Config" in order to be able to see and change the A-GPS behavior
--Double post--- Ignore
This was the problem ideed. I have direct access to the A-GPS ON/OFF option in the parameters and it was ON. Switched it to OFF and the navigation software don't start the data connection now !
Thanks !
