hi, im new to windows mobile, ex symbian user!
I've searched all over, but cant find the answer to this.
I want to use automatic retrieve for email, within outlook. After an automatic send/recieve, the hsdpa connection does not auto disconnect, it just leaves the connection open.
can anybody help?
thank you

I've just found this for GPRS, and I think there is an option for HSDPA.
Try Schaps Advanced Config, as I think that contains a auto disconnect timeout setting.

Hi everyone,
I love my new MDA device, but there is one thing I miss about my old device. In addition to having a "connect GPRS" link in my WM2003 pocket pc phone (HP iPAQ h6315), there was also a link that said "Turn on Wi-Fi". Now on my current device (MDA), both links are missing when I click on the "G" (or "E") icon. It only says, "To connect to either the Internet or work, set up a new connection in Settings." ... as if I never set up ant connections in the first place.
I can do without the "Turn on Wi-Fi" link though, because I can turn that on by pressing the Comm Manager button, then turning on the Wi-Fi from that screen. I can't however, turn on GPRS using that screen. I have to go into Settings >> Connection >> Manage Existing Connections >> then tap-n-hold on the GPRS connection and tap "Connect".
If anyone knows of any registry tweaks to fix this, or at least a convenient workaround (like the ability to place a shortcut in the Start menu that accomplishes this, etc), that would be great!
I tried downloading RegistryWizard and playing with the GPRS-related settings there, but none of those helped.
My current device is: T-Mobile MDA (USA)
Current ROM: 2.24 custom ROM, found here:

open the internet application(eg.PIE) directly and the GPRS will connect automatically .
to disconnect , simply press and hold down the on-hook key for more than 3 seconds.
Thanks, but I am already aware of that... also that I can use the e-mail to connect if I choose the Send/Receive option. But neither method is really that great if I want to make a GPRS connection for a program other than IE or e-mail.
Another method of connecting GPRS manually that would be nice, is in the Comm Manager. The Data Services button there is only enabled if the GPRS connection is already active, then pressing that link will end it. It would be great if that link was always enabled to allow you to connect/disconnect using only that link, much like the Wi-Fi link (also in Comm Manager) operates.
Anyone know how to do that? :wink:
Any have solution . Ihave similar problem like ingersoj.thx
nice query
I do miss that function from windows 2003se
Id love to have a connect gprs button in the same place as the disconnect button in the drop down and for the life of me I cant remember the reg change to accomplish it.
sign me in...
... i would also be interested in having this registry tweak.
i would also like this...
I want to be able to connect to the internet without opening up ie for programs like java gmail, and spb weather...
Sorry guys, but why do you disconnect in first place?
My GPRS connection is always on and I don't have that issue.
This is useful in cases that GPRS is charged. Has anyone found a solution?
Thanks
although you may pay for GPRS, when there are no apps using it, traffic will be 0 and therefor 0 cost. But, I guess battery life will be worse with GPRS on?? opinions?
I'm confused here, I have all kinds of apps which need to connect to internet. All are setup to do this if needed (and start GPRS). Don't know why I need GPRS running if I have no app who's using it.
Please enlighten me..
Hello all. I have successfully installed BB Connect 4.0.84 on my Kaiser and it is up and running...both my BES and BIS accounts. Fairly smooth.
Question - whenever I suff the Internet or update my RSS feeds with Insight, it kicks the BB Connect "off" (disconnects) and uses MediaNet. Then I have to go in and "force" BB Connect back on. A bit of a PITA. I have an unlimited BES plan from AT&T...do I need to set the Connection types to be something else now for these other programs that need to access the Internet?
Any help you could provide with you greatly appreciated.
Thanks!,
Adam
yes go into the connection settings. then go to advanced and select networks and set both to My Isp or which ever one your BES\BIS connects to.
There is a new one now (not just MediaNet) tha is called "My Blackberry" but when I select that one none of the other Apps connect to the internet. Once when I select MediaNet do they connect. They actualyl disconnect the BBerry,connect themselves, and then a bit later the BBerry appears to re-connect on its own....so this may work out to be ok.
Thanks - much appreciated.
welp sorry to say bud thats how that is going to work then... BES must use its own network settings and the MediaNet for internet uses another sorry your stuck unless entering in the settings for wap.cingular by hand and not using MediaNet work for BBC
I too have BB Connect installed on my Kaiser. I am able to get emails successfully over Blackberry and gmail. However, I cannot use Internet explorer over MediaNet. GoogleMaps, the weather plugin, QuickGPS, etc can all get the data they need when connected through MediaNET but IE will not load any webpages.
Any thoughts on how to fix this? There are no options to config connections within IE and the connection within settings seems to be correct (how else would the other applications be able to use MediaNET?).
Note:
I can launch BIS for internet explorer and use the Blackberry connection instead of MediaNET. Obviously though this is not optimal as BIS has lmited sites, low res pictures, etc.
This is not really in the right forum. THere are a couple of BBC threads in the other Kaiser forum that address your question directly. Go there and search for blackberry. You'll find them.
issue kaiser w/ bbconnect
Hello,
I have a kaiser and the bbconnect installed on it but when I want to activate it, all my today plugins disappear and I can't find them in the today setup anymore.
Does anyone have an idea?
I'm in France but I don't think the issue comes from that.
I need it for my job and at the moment i'm totally held so please help me if you can.
Thanks in advance
I was wondering if there was a way to disable Media Net's automatic connecting whenever I open Internet explorer. I only use wifi for the internet. I disabled it using Kaiser tweak and that worked but then I cannot recieve MMS without MEdia Net enabled. I don't have a problem with it being enabled I just don't want it to automaticly start connecting. If it cant be disabled for everything but mms I would rather have a prompt.
Thanks.

EDIT: I should have read before posting. I'm not sure about the MMS part as I don't use the NODATA program. I was just thinking on the disabling data what I did for my moms phone. Sorry.
I tried that program and it has made it easer to enable/disable MEdia Net, but If there is a way to just make it not automatically connect that would be better. I really hate being charged for the data connection when I don't want to
Has nobody else wanted to get rid of the automatic connecting?
This is the way I disabled the automatic connection on my tilt with stock at&t rom. I don't know if it will work on other kaiser models/ roms since I'm still new with windows mobile (only had the tilt for a couple of months).
go to start>settings> connections tab.
select connections, go to advanced tab.
go to select networks.
On "programs that automatically connect to the internet should connect using:"
I changed it from MEdia NET to My Work Network (since I don't use a work network it is not set up). I also switched the second option to my work network just in case.
Since "my work network" was not set up, whenever internet explorer or any other program tries to connect, it will show a "cannot connect" error unless wifi is already activated. however I can still send/recieve MMS since the MEdia net is not disabled.
If you need to use MEdia net on IE you can just switch the opiton back to media net.
I'm still fairly new to windows mobile and my tilt, and I couldn't find a way to do this after searching for days, so i just kept messing with the connections settings until i found this. This is the first time I got a chance to help someone here so I hope it's what you're looking for!
Thanks a lot, it works great!
So I thought this worked but I relized when I make Media Net not auto connect I cannot send or recieve MMS. Is there a way to only allow messaging to auto connect and then disconnect when done?
um why dont you just go to your connection settings and delete your "my connection" its not hard
If I were to do that then I cannot send/receive MMS. That is the dilemma.
go to connections and switch it to "My ISP" and delete the gprs setting from "My ISP"
Hi,
I have a problem with the GPRS and Wireless connection. I am using Windows Live mail and and set it up so it is manually synchronized! Same with other mail accounts.
But, every time I connect to the internet using wireless and then press Send/Recieve, it keeps opening GPRS and use it to retrieve new e-mails and ignores my wireless connection!!! Which is really annoying.
How do I fix that?
I have exactly the same... but then with internet sharing with my laptop... keeps using my gprs/3g instead off the wifi that is 100 times faster.
annoying
and it is really annoying as you said, it is much faster with wifi and for people like me where I do not have monthly GPRS data included, it's really annoying and costs a lot.
Earlier, I had my e-mail to automatically download new emails daily and suddenly, I got a huge phone bill because of that problem!! So, e-mails are downloaded manually now until I fix the problem!!

Newer Windows Live always tries to connect using your default Internet Connection even when you are already online. To solve this, you need to go to:
Start->Settings->Connections->Advanced->Select Networks. Change everything to My Work Network.
With this, Windows Live won't try to connect when you have active internet connection. The problem now is, if you have no active internet connection, it will force your device to connect to your gprs/3g but will fail to work. You will need to reset the setting above to your gprs/3g connection.
yes but
Yes but chaning preferences for my network would result in not having my mms working, or gprs when I need it?
However, I have to go back to settings and change everything again to get things to work!!!! I would rather have a solution than a workaround
not working

Have you tried NoDATA with HTC Diamond with WM6.1?? NoData seems to be an old cab file for older versions of WM?
Hi guys,
I have just bought an HTC Touch Diamond 2 and very happy with it.
But, there is one problem which is nagging me a lot. I am able to fetch my mail when connected to WiFi or Edge, but when use GPRS, Send/Receive errors out by asking me to check my connection settings.
After going through a lot of forums, it was suggested that i change the Connection in Advance Server Settings from "Internet" to my GPRS connection, which is "Vodafone Live".
Once this was done, i dint get the connection error message, but a new one, which said "Message cannot be downloaded to your mobile device". This is really strange, because i can open websites from Opera on my GPRS connection.
Also, when i modify the connection to Vodafone Live, if i switch to WiFi, i have to modify the connection to Internet, to be able to use mail with WiFi. Isn't there a simpler and cleaner approach to the whole thing?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Sid
Vodafone Live automatically uses a proxy. This proxy only allows you to use their mail services. You need to disable the proxy in settings > connections > connections > Existings connections > Vodafone Live/GPRS etc..
I have the same problem: "Messages cannot be downloaded" or "Error synchronizing". The only way to get your mail going again is a hard reset, and then you can wait for the next time this problem occurs....
I think it's a WM 6.1 problem, possibly in combination with the TP2. I also have a TytnII with WM 6.1 and it's mail is working perfectly well.
What I've discovered so far:
- it's NOT a settings problem. It occurs suddenly after days of troublefree emailing.
- it's not a networkproblem.
What might be causing it:
- downloading your mail via ActiveSync of Wifi. I've noticed the problem occurs mostly shortly after doing so.
- a certain combination of installed programs. I'm now starting with a "blank" TP2 (just Windows and TomTom), and install a new program every day, when the mailproblem has not occurred.
It looks like the SMTP-issue in WM 6.0: once you've had 1 bad connection, your mail wil never work again.
I'm now using SpriteBackup and can restore my TP2 easily to the "out of the box" state + emailsettings after the problem has occurred.
Works absolutely fine with T-Mobile and a new TD2.. Used the e-mail for a week now, constantly. HSDP always on, and receiving e-mail every 30 mins. I think it's just Vodafone being sh*t instead of the SMTP protocol in Windows
I've also got Vodafone, but with a KPN-sim the same problem occurs.
My TD2 has been working fine for 4 days now, untill this afternoon I've been connected to the internet via WiFi (including automatic mailchecks). Shortly after disconnecting from WiFi and thus reconnecting to 3G/HSDPA for mailchecks, the dreaded message appeared again: "cannot download messages from the emailserver". And again, a hard reset was the only way of getting my email going again.
It seems WM6.1 in some way stores the (in my case: static) IP-address through which it connects to the mailserver. When this address changes or is unreachable, mail stops working.
It really is a combination of TD2 and WM6.1. My TytnII is working fine!
I'm getting sick and tired of this sh*t now!
