Hi, I was wondering if there was a way to make the kaiser only use gsm? I just want to use wifi for the internet connection and not have it try to connect to gprs or 3g or edge or anything, but I want to be able to send sms (text messages) still. is there a way? thank you.
yeah if you remove the grps settings in settings->connections-connections
called my isp or something like that or the name of your isp
then the device cant use phone data network and will not try to
will it still be able to send txt messages?
yes phones could send sms's long before there was anything called gprs which is what gsm internet is called

I have an unlocked MDA device with the data posted in my sig as to the ROM etc.............
I have service with CENTENNIAL and want to set up the device for internet etc.............I have the data enabled from the carrier but they dont sell this device
What do I need to know and do to set up the device to pick up data from the GPRS net..............
Anyone please help, also is there a "generic ROM" for this device etc
Starting from scratch........OR can I just use the device to dial up my earthlink provider and access the net and email that way?
well just get the wap config from them and if they use proxies and that should be all
I got the information after about three calls, seems folks dont like you to use a phone from another company and skurp thier data, (which you pay for LOL!)
CENTENNIAL WIRELESS
VPN private.centennialwireless.com
USER privuser
PW priv
That was entered/subsituted for the T Mobile information under the communcations area setup......
This took me hours to figure out as there is no data
I can now surf internet and GET email from EARTHLINK but having trouble sending email via hte device, it says none of the addresses are good, so I have to see what setting there I need......etc
THanks

When ever I use wifi then leave the location or hot spot, I sometimes forget and start using my phones internet and get charged because I don't have a wireless data plan. Is there any way I can stop my phone from accessing the internet? I called to have it deactivated but was told I cant because I have the Family text plan.
I'd suggest KaiserTweak. It's easy to find here. I have ATT's MEdiaNET disabled, as that's what I have & don't want to use [yet].

or you can just goto connection settings and delete the APN
or there's a program call "MoDaCo_NoData" that can toggle the APN off so phone won't be able to access it
just turn it back on when you need to use it
ok first of all i did google this but didn't find anything specific
alright so under my "connections setting i have my "select automatic network" to MY ISP.....i thought that was enough to avoid data charges (since i only want to use wifi for internet browsing and emails...and i dont have a data plan).
So i was playing around with the email options and under the "server" settings i noticed the connection was set to Medianet....my heart came in my mouth since i've been going crazy with the e-mails thinking im connected to wifi I changed the connection to MY ISP and now i cant receive e-mails.....so right now im hoping i didn't get charged (somehow) or if i did.....what would be some good bs excuses to get it waived
so my query is..can i send/receive emails via wifi connection? If so, how do i set that up.....
Before i use to turn off "phone" and leave wifi on and i did receive emails with that setup.
so my 2nd qs is....does disabling phone disable medianet or mms capabilities ?
Disabling all Data services from isp
I'm right there with you. I do not want to get a data plan, as I only need internet every once and a while. I have enabled my wi-fi by doing this on my phone:
Start>Settings>Connections>Wi-Fi
then from there you can turn it on, find and join networks...
As to removing all access to your ISP, I am not sure. I keep trying but no matter what i do, every once and a while I notice the little "E" logo at the top symbolizing the EDGE network is being accessed. Which is not what I want. Anyone who can shed some light on disabling the data service from being accessed, it would be greatly appreciated.
hmm well I also do not use the 3G network. The best way I've found to do this is by using the Comm manager and going to the communications manager and disabling 3G and disabling Data Connection. Then if you keep wi-fi enabled it won't ever use the 3G network. If the ROM your using doesn't have a good comm manager then you can download one that has those controls because there are many on this website. Hope this helps,

Modaco No Data is what I use

i have issues sending e-mails from the built in client, it always tells me i dont have access or some crap which makes no sense since i can sign into my account and check my e-mail from my phone so i normally have to go to the website for my e-mail to send an e-mail which is a pain
Hey,
For some reason every time I try to download new messages or send a new e-mail, the device uses the 3G connection (data connection - even if it's turned off in the communications screen, it just turns it on automatically).
Problem is, I rather use my WiFi instead. Is there a way to use Mail with my WiFi connection, rather than my date connection by my cel company?
Thanks
Is you Wi-Fi actually turned on? If not then it will always try to use the Cellular connection. Mine happily gets mail over Wi-Fi if it is enabled and connected to network
Yeah... even if my WiFi is on it goes through 3G to get the mail or send it.
What kind of an account have you set up? POP3/IMAP/...?
how i am doing it
what i did is create a false connection under the conection icon in all settings.
so i have 2 of them: my 3g conection and the other one where i have left all the fields blank access point, login, password etc.
when i don't want to use 3g i select my fake conection and i am able to use wifi etc... and it assures me that the phone won't dial without me knowing it; and when i want to use my 3g i just select it from the manage conection under conection icon in all setting.
that's the way i do it, it is not something i am proud of but it works great and does the job
cheers
this could be a wm6 problem rather than an x1 problem, but I figured I'd start here. I have an x1a, using it with Tmobile. I have the full data plan, and I can't seem to get the internet and MMS working all at the same time. If internet works then mms tells me i need to "switch connections" to receive an mms" and so I tell it to do it, but then I can't send email or mms, unless I reboot, maybe. I'm thinking its something simple, like maybe I need to specify which connection mms should use, and which connection internet should use, and etc....I'm not sure if they should all be set to the same or different, and if so, which one(s).
Can someone using an x1 and Tmobile tell me what connection settings they use?
does MMS use the "tmobile internet" "Tmobile data" "Tmobile mms"?
does internet use "tmobile internet" or Tmobile data"?
Thanks,
Ian
I don't think it's possible for data and mms to be used at the same time.
Also i'm on an x1i on t-mobile
T-mobile MMS
Wap.voicestream.com
on the proxy settings tab, don't check this network connects to the internet
T-mobile Data
internet2.voicestream.com
on the proxy settings tab, check this network connects to the internet
Thank you very much! That was exactly what I needed, but didn't get from Tmobile "third tier" but didn't get in 1 hr and 15 minutes.
all better!
you are able to use data settings for mms so you dont need to switch networks everytime you send a mms.
mayhaps i spoke too soon. I'm still not able to send mms, and I am still prompted from time to time to allow the phone to switch connections in order to send/receive mms. the one thing that is improved now at least is that i can download mms.
any suggestions on what to do to fix any of the above problems?
i'm sorry, but i don't think it's possible to use t-mobile data for both data and mms at the same time. I got these settings directly from tier 3 tech support.
Try taking a picture, then sending it to yourself. It should say that it will change connections then it should connect to T-mobile MMS. Once that's done, it should send the MMS(takes approx 15 seconds to send). You should receive it shortly after
