Hi all
I mainly use wifi to connect to the web, but sometimes, when i'm not at home/office, i have to use GPRS/UMTS.
Well, switching from "office network" and "Vodafone web GPRS" is long and annoying.. i have to do start-settings-connections-connections-advanced-select network-and, finally, select how to connct.
I read about a little software that is able to switch from a profile to another, anyone knows what it is, or how do this more quickly?
Thanks
Lot of softwares
There is a lot of softwares able to do that but they are not freeware, do a search in google.
Some for exemple may change your profile according to your location gps or mobile phone cell
No freeware out there?!
so whats up developers - come and get it
something like
*touch icon once* - profile 1
*touch icon twice* - profile 2
would be enough for me...
How about a new automagic connect app?
It either displays
Can't find Work Network - Switching to GPRS
or
Work Network found - Switching from GPRS
or
3 Wifi Signals found - Choose
[ ] Mc Donalds
[ ] Holiday Inn
[ ] Unknown - May be a private network
[ ] Use GPRS
I'm full of ideas (and something else too)

I remember while back in the Hermes forum there was talk about the fact that data traffic on t-mobile goes through it's proxy, meaning several things don't work that well.
E.g. Pictures are compressed, VOIP (Skype) cuts out etc.
I also remember people saying that you could set up a proxy server on your home network and then route your traffic through it, effectively tunneling all your traffic through a link that would then bypass the t-mobile proxy.
I've tried searching for details on how to get a setup like this working, in vain. So my questions are:
1) Do I have to set up the VPN on my "work" connection (I think I do, just want to confirm)?
2) What settings on my 3g/HSDPA connection do I need to change (I think there's a special t-mobile proxy server you have to use, rather than the standard one)?
3) Does anyone have experience with VPNs in terms of which ports to forward from a router --> the VPN server.
4) I have a choice between using my main desktop (Vista) and a Ubuntu box (Feisty atm), would one be better than the other to use?
Any other comments/experiences/solutions would be greatly appreciated.

I have a Tytn II on UK Orange. I intend to use the wifi intesively with my Exchange server for push email etc , but when I am not in a wifi zone I dont want it to automatically use any of 3g/gprs/hsdpa.
I may sometimes need to use them (hopefully activating 3g manually) if I am out and about.
I can disable hsdpa, but cannot find a way of disabling 3g/gprs without deleting the profiles in connection manager (which would mean I would have to create the profile again everytime I wanted to use it out of the office).
Can anyone help?
Thanks
Tom
i cant quite remember, but is there and option to do this in kaisertweak?

You gave yourself the answer.
What happens if you created another profile that is empty instead of deleting?
Disable GPRS connections

Hi dude
if your intend is only to not allow to any apps to automatically use your data connection but only the wi-fi try in this way:
settings -> connections (or networks, i'm not english, sorry!) -> connections -> advance -> network selection, and there put "office network" in the both options!In this way all your apps never use your provider data connection!
I don't know how to manage different profiles, as you said, however an other way to control the connections is by installing this CommManager or look this other one with the 3G button, so you can manually turn it on/off!
hope to help you!
Ciao

Just an update that the application does work on my O2 XDA Stellar. You can toggle the connections on and off as and when you require just by a single click.
I'm trying to be as explicit as possible here, so that people find it easy to perform this process. So read the first post through and it should work out.
I'll update A.Bagatov's entry in the wiki once I figure every single step out.
Hello,
I'm excited to get VoIP working. I've referred to the previous thread, and have come up with the following _setup.xml to work with Gizmo5:
<snipped>
My main purpose might seem a little weird, but I'd like to be able to make calls when my phone is tethered on a PC with ActiveSync... Through testing, it seems possible, as I current have "Internet Calling: Available" when I allow a data connection through ActiveSync, with the phone radio on or off.
My questions are...
Does that _setup.xml look alright? It must, since I have "Internet Calling: Available," right?
Also, how can I tell if the settings are correct? Should the carrier be reflecting the "provider name" attribute of the _setup.xml file? It currently states Home (I have the radio off), but have "Internet Calling: Available," and can not place calls.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks!
Matt
[possibly SOLVED]
For Gizmo5:
Code:
<wap-provisioningdoc>
<characteristic type="VoIP">
<parm name="SIPSettings"
value="<provision key='1232ab01' name='gizmo5'>
<provider name='Gizmo5' />
<user account='[email protected]' password='password'
uri='sip:[email protected]'
allowedauth='digest'/>
<sipsrv addr='sip:proxy01.sipphone.com' protocol='UDP' role='proxy'>
<session party='First' type='pc2pc' />
<session party='First' type='pc2ph' />
</sipsrv>
<sipsrv addr='sip:proxy01.sipphone.com' protocol='UDP' role='registrar'/>
</provision>" />
</characteristic>
</wap-provisioningdoc>
Change registry settings as described in this post.
[TESTING]
All with "Use Internet Calling" set to: "Whenever possible."
Tethered/No Wifi/No EDGE:
- Internet access: Okay.
- Internet calling: "No Service"
Wifi/No Tether/No EDGE:
- Internet access: Okay.
- Internet calling: "Searching..."
*EDGE/No Wifi/No Tether:
- Internet access: Okay.
- Internet calling: "Searching..."
EDGE/Wifi/No Tether:
- Internet access: Okay.
- Internet calling: "Searching..."
Note that "Searching..." reportedly means it's connected... it just does not update the status to available... I think this is because there is code missing from the VoIP installer CAB to handle whatever handshake acknowledgment situation occurs... I also figure this means there may be issues receiving calls; but that's not what I'm using it for anyway. (see Gizmo5's Backdoor calling feature [currently only available in the US])

To activate Internet Calling over 3G (thanks Sleuth255 & Golfman),
go to the HKLM\Comm\RTC\AdapterTypes with a registry editor (like Total Commander),
now delete both the "1" and the "2" values that are here,
next reset your device and Internet calling will connect over the data connection for your phoneservice.

Oh... damn... Gizmo5 would work, but the Backdoor dialing is only available in the US for now:
"I have a non-US number. Can I use backdoor dialing?
We are launching the program with US numbers only but hope to expand it to international numbers in the middle of 2008. If you are a registered Gizmo5 user you will receive email when we expand the program to your country."
sip:[email protected] is an example of a backdoor dial.
Do you connect to many different Wifi connections?
Do you have some WiFi connections using fixed IP and default gateway?
Does the next WiFi connection require DHCP?
Well I think I have found the answer!
A little free app called WifiProfiles
I have installed it on my TyTN II and it allows me to create a profile for work with a fixed IP and default gateway - a profile for home with DHCP and a fixed default gateway - a profile for general roaming when everything is DHCP and automatic and as many other profiles as you want.
Wifi Profiles for Windows Mobile 5.0 and 6.0 Professional.
Highlighted Features:
- Create and apply wifi profile.
- Apply profile without soft reset.
- Automatic discovery of wlan (wifi) adapter.
- Fast switch to DHCP settings from menu.
- Automatic turn off/on wifi adapter.
- Create new profile based on existing profile.
Known Issues:
- On some devices You must first turn on wifi "manually" from connection manager after soft reset (device driver is not loaded/activated). But process of applying profile still works correctly - only wifi is not turned on from WiFi Profiles application. Will be handled in new releases.
Planned Features:
- Outlook SMTP server switching.
- Location triggered switching.
- Today plugin.
- Finger friendly profile selection. Better UI for IP address, data validation. Progress info when applying profile.
Installation:
- Download CAB (WifiProfilesInstall.CAB).
- Copy WifiProfilesInstall.CAB to Your device.
- Run WifiProfilesInstall.CAB.

Hope this helps you as it has me.
Is there any way to create a file or something , for example in Start menu in order to Enable / Disable Data Connection ??
Thank you!
Are you looking for something like the "NoData" app?
The last version can be found here:
www#modaco#com/content/pocket-pc-software/246171/new-free-utility-nodata/
Works fine on my device!
(Please exchange the "#" thru "." since I am not allowed to post an external link yet... )
I installed Diamond Tweak (http://montecristoff.webs.com/diamondtweak.htm) in the settings has an option for Data (GPRS/EDGE/HSDPA) Disconnect After... I have mine set to 1 minute. No problems with browsing or Voice connections.
