Hey just wondering if someone can lead me to the right direction. I have the AT&T Tilt and im looking for a good messenger that will only work during WiFi. I have tried slick, fring, and mundu but all start using the 3g att network if im out of wifi range...or if my phone goes on standby and i turn it on the 3g network starts up cause the messenger program is on and searching for something. Is there any mobile messenger out there that just uses wifi...so if it goes on standby or if i go out of wifi area it doesnt start using the 3g network but just signs out until i get to a wifi hotspot?
Please hope someone can let me know and help me!!!
Thanks!
Try using a program called NoData to turn off your connection unless you turn it on.
TW,
Just thought i'd attach as it's such a small app
thanks
thanks guys...i just got the program.
now my question is when i opened it up it showed 2 connections.
Does anyone know which one i need to turn off.
the 2 connections are:
AT&T ISP GPRS and
MEdia Net
so which of the two need to be turned off? or do both need to be turned off?
Thanks again

Hello All.
Does anyone have an addon or something which will help me quickly or automagically switch between different wireless networks and the GPRS network?
Basically, if im in a wifi area, i want it to switch to a wifi which i tell is acceptable (i.e. at work, home, and on UCF campus). Otherwise, iwant it to auto set itself to GPRS.
Any suggestions? Or even a quick-network changer would help...
Thanks.

Great question! I have been wondering about this too since I just got my 8125 on 5 days ago.
No one has any modification that would allow this?
Upgrading to 2.2 fixed this for me.
If you select 'My ISP' as your connection or uncheck the proxy server, you will be able to switch between wi-fi and GPRS automatically. The only catch is that you still need to turn on wi-fi manually. Leave it on all the time will quickly drain your battery in one or two hours.
Hi
I want to be online on messenger until I myself deside not to. My Kaiser disconnects me from the WiFi and thus kill the MSN connection. Anyone know a way out?

Connect using GPRS or 3g, these connections can be set to always on, even when the Kaiser goes to sleep.
Alternaively keep the Kaiser awake, Settings>Power>Advanced uncheck Turn off device if not used. Your battery life will be very short if you leave the device awake with wifi active.
I've had a Tilt since it launched and have run multiple different roms. What has always happened since I bought it, is that my internet connection will drop when I'm on a phone. I don't understand. I shouldn't, right? None of my other non-WM phones dropped the internet connection.
That's one of the things I loved about GSM, I could be talking on the phone (via BT) and use the internet on it, but not anymore with this phone. IM+ will disconnect all the IM clients, which is the most annoying one. I think I've heard people in this forum say they don't have this problem. Is it a flaw with Windows Mobile itself (Microsoft catering to CDMA), the Kaiser model, firmware or my phone itself?
yep, drops my HSDPA when on call as well. It's probably normal.
hey man you know you can only use the phone and the internet at the same time on a 3g conection right? if its not that then i dont know whats up try a new rom i guess
hey i just saw that another person posted in here and had the same problem on a 3g network so i tried it out i can use the phone for data and a call at the same time im using a wm 6.1 rom not sure what one maybe its a problem with the service in your area
Man, some commas would really help..
Anyway.. when you say that u can use phone and internet at the same time - have you actually tried being on the call and browse internet? It does stay connected, but there is no traffic.
I don't think it has ever worked on my Kaiser. It works on my Razr v3xx. Maybe it is 3G. For some reason, now that I put a new 6.1 rom and a new 6.1 compatible radio, my phone is almost only on EDGE when I used to always be on HSDPA. Well, the battery life is better at least. I'll try again when I connect to a 3G network, which used to be always.
I don't think my Razr was limited to simultaneous voice + data only when on 3G.

I've known this too. Tethering and phone work in 3g for me as well.
yeah i did browse to a few sites made sure it was using the data. even made sure it wasnt just cached pages. hey if ur only getting edge maybe its ur radio rom? i was getting that for awhile new rom and it went away
I'm using HSDPA, never 3G (it switches to HSDPA when 3G is available).. it's definitelly faster.. but I have battery charge issues and no traffic while on call. Perhaps 3G doesn't have those issues, I will try it out.
I do get EDGE sometimes, but it's usually same spots. I guess some towers don't have 3G i-net connection, only EDGE. Some places, however, I always get HSDPA (usually where signal strength is high)
sorry i forgot not all 3g is hsdpa i should of clarified we have hsdpa over here
I have the same problem. 3G or H data connections drop when a call is made or received. reconnects when call is over. Anyone with ideas if it is the phone, radio or rom?
Solved!! After some digging around in the forum I found out that setting a limit to disconnect your data connection will cause this problem. If your using kaisertweak go under "Data" set the "disconnect after" to disabled (default) instead of the 1 minute(advised). for some reason this will now allow data and voice to work together and wont drop your data connection while on call anymore. Good luck with your device.

I had the same problem and this fixed my issue.
im using an htc kaiser 8925 and in all honesty im pretty new to wm 6.1 and the phone in general. mine is unlocked, and i havent messed with any roms yet. oh and im using it on t-mobile too. the problem im having is i cant get it to connect to my home router, and i dont know what to do. all im trying to use is the wifi, i havent purchased the t-mobile internet package yet. i have no clue which wifi settings to change or what to change them too. i cant receive picture messages either, if someone could help me figure this stuff out as well i would greatly appreciate it.
First:
Make sure your home router is BROADCASTING the SSID. You might have turned it off for security reasons? If it is turned off, your phone can't find the wireless network.
Second:
Start the phone's COMM MANAGER and turn on wireless - it should find your home network automatically - no matter if you have encryption on there or not!
If the phone does not give you a notification message about the network it found, click in the COMM MANAGER on SETTINGS - WIRELESS and delete all listed networks in there. Afterwards turn off Wireless again, restart your phone and then turn wireless on again ... try if that helps!
ugh it was the wireless in the comm manager thanks alot
Regarding your picture msgs, T-mobile normally require you to send a picture message to enable it. After you've sent one you should be ok Just make sure you've got the T-mobile mms settings setup
Hi, I have been using a mobile to just talk and SMS. Few days back bought a HTC TYTN II Kaiser and this was a quantum jump for me. Question - 1. Is it possible to have WiFi, GSM/3G and Bluetooth services active all the time ? 2. How do I know which service is being utilised by an application to communicate with outside world ? I want the phone call and SMS to utilise GSM/3G and all other to use the WiFi (home broadband). Appreciate help in laymans language. Thanks.
Most of that can be configured in your Connection Settings, go in there and take a look around.
Having everything on at the same time will severely reduce the time your device's battery will last. You may wish to rethink.
Thanks folks. I could find the setup for SMS and phone. SMS and Phone through O2 (current service provider). This is what I wanted. I now need to direct everything else to go via wireless-broadband.
@ stuntdouble
not to mention that WiFi and Bluetooth on at the same time is a trainwreck.
Thanks for the causion. I intend to turn on WiFi or Blue when I want. So no issues.
Pop quiz for experts. I see an 'E', '3G' or a 'G' at various times as the active connection medium. To connect to the internet using my home broadband, I turned on the WiFi and saw the WiFi icon in the place where the above symbols appear. Does this mean that the WiFi is active & connected to the Internet AND the 3G or GPRS or E is deavtivated ? Internet worked perfectly. Is there a priority among the connecting medium/protocols ?
