Does the programs run on SMS, or just off the network?
I believe that the built-in IM app will use the network connection when you are connected to WiFi, but will only use SMS when you are relying on cellular coverage.

That's somewhat right. Google Talk uses data connection or wifi. The rest is cellular, counts as text messages.
I can tell you for certain that the IM app can use WiFi for at least MSN.
I have a UK SIM card, and if I try to sign into MSN on the built-in IM app when I am not connected via WiFi it complains that it cannot read my phone number from the SIM card. When I'm connected to a WiFi network, there are no such issues.

I get the same error with AIM, but I am on t-mobile. I think its because I don't have the "G1" internet package.

Guys, please help me. whenever i connect any of GPS programs, my device automatically connects to internet. when i am in my home country this is not a big problem, but when i am abroad the fees for roaming GPRS/EDGE are huge.
can you give me any advice?

Download KaiserTweak and disable "Assisted GPS". This will configure your phone to rely solely on the internal GPS chip for routing instead of using cell phone towers as well.

Its also possible to change this with AdvancedConfig if you have it.

Yeah... what we both said.
I wish my Assisted GPS worked like that. I have it turned on, but it never connects to the internet when I turn it on.
BTW what are the server ip and port settings supposed to be?
Thanks
AT&T Tilt on AT&T network.
also on the KaizerTweak go to the Data (GPRS/EDGE/HSDPA/WIFI) section and disable the GPRS connection by selecting the 4th line where it says "Enabled:**** Web" ans set it to "Disabled" to avoid extra charging from roaming. This because QuickGPS might use GPRS or even assisted GPS might (or not) use GPRS or other Data connection.
Cheers
Hi all,
Got a stange issue. I have the MDAcIV (basically a diamond) on the UK T-Mobile contract.
I've setup my Gmail account to send/retrieve and over wifi it works perfectly, however if I disable my wifi connection, I expect the email to sync over GPRS, but I keep getting a sync error saying check your connections etc.
Anyway checked all my connections and it works fine over GPRS in browser, weather, and any other app requiring internet connection, just not email.
Gone through the email settings and under advanced server settings, under Network Connection it's set to "The Internet".
If I change this to "T-Mobile Internet", and then try to sync with wifi OFF, the GPRS kicks in and starts syncing.
I then stopped the GPRS connection, switched on wifi, and tried to sync again, but instead of using the connected wifi, it starts a GPRS connection.
Strange!
So in summary:
Network Connection: The Internet
WiFi OFF
GPRS ON
Sync fails over GPRS
Network Connection: T-Mobile Internet
WiFi ON
GPRS OFF
Syncs over GPRS instead of existing wifi connection
Anyone else have similar experience?
Thanks
I got a similar one:
I'm using Active Sync via HSDPA/GPRS to get my mails pushed (Exchange 2007 Server). Works like a charm and never have problems with it; used it for years with other WiMo devices.
Now, since I have my diamond (MDAc4 also) I can finally use WiFi, too. What I now experience is:
When I turn on Wifi, my cellular connection (HSDPA) stays active and when I turn it off manually via the comm manager it also turns off "PushMail" in comm manager. That basically sets active sync to "manual" instead of "when items arrive".
Though I am able to turn on push mail in comm manager again, as soon as an email arrives it starts to connect HSDPA again.
So basically I can not use wifi to save some MB of my data plan when I want to continue to get my emails. And this really sucks...
Only thing I can set up in the advanced connections in Active Sync is "Connection" where my only option is "Internet" -.- Meaning I can not differ between cellular and wifi. It kinda has to use the cellular connection...
long story short, dunno if that helps you with your problem now, sorry; but if anyone understands what I am talking about right here, maybe send me a pm or something, if you know how to fix that.

Definitely had this happen a fair few times, with the gprs failing to connect once or twice, and I've seen it on most of the roms.
I think WM doesn't set it's connection type correctly, so we don't get the seamless "use the best/cheapest/fastest connection available"
In fact, anyone know of any app that would just do that? As in try to connect to unsecured or secured wifi, followed by 3G/HSDPA, followed by GPRS?

I have exactly the same problem. If I want to get my e-mail the account setting has to be "T-Mobile Internet" unless I'm using wi-fi in which case I have to switch it to be "The Internet". Anyone know of a solution?
Is it possible that T-mobile are forcing you to use your Data connection rather than free Wifi ?
Hmmm nerf maybe?

Thanks for the reply. It could be but the phone doesn't even attempt to connect to mobile data it just pops up an error to say it can't connect with the existing data settings. Its not a T-mobile supplied handset although it did configure itself to use T-Mobile when I first put the SIM in.
Solution
After research and research I´ve finally found a solution. I´ll post some pictures of my settings so you can see yourself what you have to do.
The clou is to have only 1 connection for Wifi and GPRS/3G. WM now firstly checks if there is a Wifi connection and if not, it will connect to GPRS.
Got It
Just untick the box that says "This network uses a proxy server to connect to the internet" in the manage t-mobile Internet connections app.
Now works over Wifi if available, if not uses GPRS/3G
I can connect to my W-Lan, but the internet connection isnt shared. Cant load anything on browser, mail, wheater... My roommates use our w-lan for internet with their xda´s and notebooks, just my diamond isnt working. If it is connected over active sync i get internet, just dont want to use the cable all the time. Any suggestion? Thanks for even reading this!
i tried:
radio: original and 1.00.25.05
ROM: 1.93.407.1 and bElite 0.98

Any suggestions?

And what is your power setting under settings/connection/ wireless network?
If it's set for best battery set it to best performance and try.
Im already connected over wifi. Signal stength is fine. I just cant use the internet over that connection.

I've seen sometimes that even if your settings are fine it doesn't connect to
internet with power in battery best. Don't ask me why.
What are your settings under connections? Internet or work and so on?

I'm pretty sure it's due to lack of assignment of DNS servers from the Acesspoint you are connecting to.
You should try to manually setup DNS servers for the connection. There are plenty of free ones, google it.
battery setting: tried best performance, no difference
Internet or work: tried both with same result
DNS: changed setting on wifi adapter: dns: 208.67.222.222 alt dns: 208.67.220.220, still no internet for me
What should i try now?
Still didnt get it to work, please suggest me something.

I also had trouble using WLAN. In the end it seems, that the wlan connection was not the preferred routing, and nearly all data still flowed over the mobile connection. When using WLAN I always have to terminate any existing mobile data connections (Tap on the icons on the top, then on the data connection-type icon, e.g. stylized G for GPRS and then disconnect in the pop-up).
The weird thing is, that not all data went over mobile. DNS-Requests where sent over WLAN, but connections to webservers where routed over the mobile connection. Seems to me like a bug, as you would normally expect that all traffic is routed over the wlan once a connection is up an running.

What is the standard of your W-LAN? Is it 802.11b? Mine does not work with 802.11b but is working fine with 802.11g.
Wo use just WEP. The router cant do more.
I dont use any mobilde data connection, way to expensive with my provider.
Just curious if u did, I have the 4 euros/500 mb a month option.
What i mean by that is does the phone's oulook connect to gmail account or does the youtube player play videos on a gprs connection (or is it hsdpa?).
Yes, all on HSDPA normally. And gmail works in outlook, automatically sets up as an IMAP server (enable imap in GMAIL though).

Good luck. When experiencing connection problems, look if vodafone auto-setup enables a proxy. Disable it (but be sure it don't cost any extra $$, normally not).

Whether it is GPRS or HSDPA depends on the settings. If phone setting is set to 3G, it will pick up HSDPA it signal strenght is good and it will pick GPRS if your settings are GSM and/or UMTS signal is weak.
Mmm yes but does your connection manage to connect to streaming media like youtube and does outlook work?
Mine work fine on wifi but on 3G for example, outlook says "Error syncronizing" and pops up the 3G connections buble. Browser works fine though.

tnyynt - does your vodafone GPRS config involve using proxy servers? I think this must be the problem for gmail, especially since they want us to use ssl now.
Some folks are not routed through proxies and thus can acces the gmail IMAP server.
If you have your config written somewhere, maybe I can take a look at it?

To be quite honest, I never use my provider's data connection, only WiFi and the MMS connection.
Also, I'm on prepaid, so settings are different, and NO, mine do not include proxy. Did you set your settings up with Connection Manager?
Might take a look here and enter your settings manually (don't get confused by the Trinity page, it's the only supporting all connections).

Yes I read somewhere only port 80 works (which is the standard http port). Also somehow POP3 might work but pop3 is ****tier than IMAP, I'm going to dig around more on this and if i find anything else i'll keep u guys posted.
hey there. vodafone here as well. i was thinking of getting that 4 euro extraoption too but in my city (oradea, and bucuresti from october) there are plenty of free wi-fi connections available; although it consumes more battery, the connection speeds are far better and, most importantly, FREE.
youtube and gmail works perfectly fine

Off topic: I'm from Oradea too but I don't know that many.
My dad just got this new phone, and was wondering, is there a way to use this phone's internet to use waze on his old moto x? because the old one fits perfectly in the car dashboard and the new one is too big.
You could use Bluetooth or Wifi internet tethering, assuming your call plan allows tethering, to share the internet connection with the old phone, and just use the old phone as a glorified satnav.

What provider does he have? He can add a tablet to his account and use the new sim card. Data should work, calls won't. I'm on AT&T and my tablet line is only $10/mo.

Think you misunderstood the poster, who means that you tether both phones via WiFi hotspot to use the data connection of the new moto x on the old one.
