GPS/E-mail Questions

Hey Guys,
I am pretty much all set up. Thanks to all the help and information i was able to Flash it to Helimis Big Storage Dynamic version, added some programs. All works great. Only outstanding items:
E-mail -When i set up gmail pop connection it doesnt seem to connect to gather the messaages on 3g/Edge serivce. However, i did a test and turned on the wireless connection in the comm manager. As soon as i have done this Gmail POP3 works like a charm. As soon as i disconnect the problem persists. I have 39.99 3g data plan. Should the mail work through this data plan? or do i need to always switch to wireless in order to recieve mail? (HIGHly doubt it)
GPS- I have yet to put tomtom on, but i tried my google maps. It "worked" great at one point, I ran Quick GPS and it was able to triangulate my location (get a lock signal -7-8 satelaties), but now it doesnt work. I know i read somewhere not to mess with external GPS, but i switched to COM port 2 but i never un-checked the "auto-config GPS". Do you know what could be causing it not lock in onto my location now. I think it actually did work after i changed to COM2.
COMmanager - i updated my comm manager to duttythroy 10 button version. It has a 3g button to disable it since it drains a lot of battery power. However, how do i disable the GPRS/EDGE doesnt it drain power as well? i see in the Kaiser section there is also duttythroy_data_disconnection+_hspda-switch.cab (what will this exactly doo?)
Thanks all.
Other than these my TILT is amazing.. loving it.. Thanks to everyone who posted and helped.

e-mail: Does web browsing work? If so, then you might have a server setup problem. If not, call AT&T's support and ask for the PDA help group.
GPS: In my case the GPS is COM4: and 4800 baud. You can set this in "Start", "Settings", "External GPS", then let Google use the "Use Windows Settings" checkbox.
COMmanager: Use Bandswitch instead. Works much better. Latest is 2.4.2, and much be purchased, but worth every penny. (30 day trial I think tho)

GPS: - do you put this under Program or Hardware tab? Or do i put com 4 port in both places
E-mail - internet works.. So i guess Server setup problem?
COMmanager- I just took a quick glance at Bandswitch. It seems that it can do everything that ComManager + Kaiser Tweak (kaiser can set time to termination of data connection. My question is.. in the com manager- you can terminate 3g, but GPRS turns on.. does GPRS drain battery? should there be another button to turn off GPRS too?

contact importer
Also anyone know whats a good contact importer. I have a CSV file with 138 entries similar to this one.
Type FirstName Last Name Mobile Home Office -1 IVAN Peters 16462366421

Email: For gmail, i put "recent:" in front of my email addy so it would be recent:[email protected] That should make it work.

Thanks for the advice it already has rescent in it. It works when i turn on wifi, so all settings are correct. It simply doesnt work with 3G (and wifi off).
Any ideas on contact importer?

Another question, how do you set it so that all forms of links start Opera instead of internet explorer.

I would love to know the answer to that one. I can only get Opera to run if I click the Java link, then copy/paste my links over. Quite tedious.
I would also like a 1-click way to start Opera....

download the opera mini and selector link...copy and save the opera mini link to windows/start menu/programs folder then copy the selector file to windows/Appdb folder then you'll be able to set the Interenet explorer button in button settings to opera...this is also assuming you are using jbed java midlet...i'm not sure if it works on other java midlet managers...cheers...

Opera issues
Hey guys, i dont know what happened, but now all the sudden when i use Opera EVERY link i click on i end up loosing Medianet connection and it trys to re-establish it. It ultimatelly suceeds and loads the page... but this does not happen with Internet Explorer (everything works fine there). I also have KaiserTweak set to disconnect internet after 1 min of inactive use.. but its definatelly not that.. since i am active during my "test" browsing period. (which i did)
Any ideas.. i mean ITS Extremelly SLOW (sometimes 4 attempts to re-establish connection) and annoying.. It is also weird that it does actually make the 3g connection but then it breaks for no reason (tested in various locations)
Thanks for previous help - all those problems been solved - Except linking opera to all links (i click on) -> I am reading the trade posted in this thread about it.
- Question though.. i dont need to place a link into windows folder i guess since when i click explorer softkey it automatically opens Java Midlet. Or do i still need to perform that step?

I'm not sure whats causing your disconnect i never have that issue...but about your question...with the opera shortcut in your start menu it skips the step of opening your midlet manager then clicking on opera...then when you put that selector file in your windows folder its never asks for permission to remember your session and whatnot...it just goes straight to the home page in opera...

Disable 3g/gprs/hsdpa on tytn ii

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?

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.

just a quick question...

have any of you seen a "data" tab under phone settings? (it terminates any active internet connection when the phone goes into standby.) i had it with one of dutty's older roms but on his two newest roms that "data" tab is not there anymore. do any of you guys know a registry tweak or a program that would bring that tab back? my phone just drains the battery when its connected to the internet without me knowing (to receive email.) i have searched for it on google and all over the wiki but i haven't had any luck with how to enable it. thanks in advanced for your response.

look on the forum for modaco nodata cab
it lets you toggle the available connections

thanks for your help but i found what i was looking for i searched the registry of one on of the roms that had it active and just copy the registry name and value. here it is how to do it in case you are interested: Search for "PhoneSetting" on any registry editor and if the key "ShowPDPPage" is not there add it on as a DWord and set the value to 1. then using the Advanced Config tool scroll all the way until you see GPRS auto attach (under Data Connections) and set it to Disable, if its not disabled the connection will not disconnect even when the phone goes into standby mode.

Unable to use I C S

Hello guys n gals,
I have been searching for an answer to this (google, many times)
I cannot get my ATT Tilit w/6.1 to act as an internet connection for my Laptop.
I disable Activesync, go into the Wmodem program, tell it to start, and my computer sees it as a Palm Treo Modem I have to dial out on. According to the program description, I should be able to use the Phone to just "share" its connection. Is this an issue with 6.1? Is there someting I have to enable that wonderful ATT does not allow me to use?
I thank you all in advance for your help. Like I said i have googled a few times and nothing comes up that helps me. They all point to a program called Internet Sharing, which i dont seem to have on my tilt. I suspect this is done intentionally by ATT but hey, I gotta ask first. Help????????
Google is indeed my friend!!! LMAO!! its 4 am here in NYC and I finally found it. Now forget everything I said above!! I just have to figure out how to pin it to my programs menu or start menu! for that i am asking for your help. I am too tired to do anyore googling tonight, err, today, or whatever it is now.

It's there. The file you are looking for is entitled "intshrui.exe". It is located in the \Windows\ directory of your device. You may need to enable "view all files" for it to be visible. Once it is visible, tap and hold on it. Select copy, and then browse to \Windows\Start Menu\Programs and tap and hold a blank space. Select "Paste Shortcut". After the shortcut is created, tap and hold on it, and rename it to "Internet Connection Sharing", or whatever you so desire. This is the application you will be using to enable ICS between your desktop computer, and telephone. Be sure to use wap.medianet as the access point. isp.cingular will not work if you are only on a Media Net plan. (if you have a dedicated tethering plan, it is fine to use isp.cingular if you so desire).
I don't have the ATT stock ROM on my phone any longer, but in the WModem application, there is a options menu. There is a item labeled "Configure" IIRC. Select this option, and uncheck, "Choose an access point automatically". Change isp.cingular to read wap.cingular, and save it. Restart your device. You should now be able to use your PDA as an internet gateway. Be sure you have installed either ActiveSync or WMDC on your computer. And the awnser to your inquiry regarding ATT doint it on purpose is "Yes". The phone is fully capable of tethering, but ATT wants to charge you $60/mo for the ability to use technology that already exists in your phone.
Other files of interest:
HSDPASwitch.exe
FieldTest.exe
CSDType.exe

Yep, At&t doesn't add the shorcut to ICS on their roms, its in the windows folder.
Also a not of caution, its suggested that you remove the proxy from medianet while you tether. There's stories of people getting caught tethering without the tethering plan and ending up being charged per kb on their bill (leading to a phone bill around and above $1000!).
I always make sure i've disabled the proxy, actually only time its on is to use cellular video, and I've been tethering without the tethering plan for as along as i can remember and never been charged per kb on my bill.
To disable the proxy look for a cab named removehiddenproxy and then go to start settings, connections tab on the bottom, then connections icon. advanced tab on bottom, select networks, tap edit under the first drop down box (MEdia Net should be selected) then proxy settings tab on bottom, and uncheck the second box "This network uses a proxy server to cnnect to the Internet"

Thanks guys for the info, now is it best to search for this cab via active sync on my PC because i don't know where to find the search program on the Kaiser to just search for the cabs and find the "removehiddenproxy" cab......I will find it this way........thanks again for the help....both of you. This beats staying in Hotels and paying for their internet connection!!

Shortcut to Settings -> Personal -> Phone

Hi. I am looking for creating a shortcut (.lnk) to Settings -> Personal tab --> Phone --> Band tab without the need for clicking multiple times.
I know this is possible however I am not sure which program to call in the Windows directory and pass which parameters.
I guess its my way of not using Bandswitch on the phone since it isn't disabling my 3G. I do have a old version (1.2.3) of the software and don't want to pay for the latest and greatest one. The goal is to be on EDGE (for primarily savings battery) most of the time unless I really need 3G for say streaming of stuff. For my regular web access and email, EDGE should suffice.
Any one, please? I am sure the senior members know a few tricks!
Thanks a ton.
P.S. I asked this question in the Kaiser ROM development forum where someone suggested I should post it here.

Try Schaps Advanced Configuration Tool which will enable you to install a 10 button Comm Manager with a button to toggle 3G.

with notepad you write the following :
Settings>Personal>Phone>Band = 23#ctlpnl cplmain.cpl,20,4
then save it as band.lnk in your device

Check here.
