Ok, this was working fine on the original AT&T ROM, but since I flashed to dutty's ROM, I cant get it to work. How do I force the phone to use wifi for net access when wifi is turned on, as opposed to medianet? Currently, I have to keep manually switching from medianet to "my work connection" in connection settings.
You can use Kaiser Tweak to set it to disconnect the GPRS connection after a set amount of minutes of inactivity. Then, when you enable WiFi, it should connect ONLY to WiFi.
I think the OP needs to sort out his "work" and his "internet" instead of just trying to turn off radio data.
I have medianet set to internet and my wifi set to work...not really clear what "work" is....just want to automatically use wifi when wifi is connected, and cant find the option to do that.
Anybody???
I did set both connections to "work".
Additionally I added my tmobile gprs connection to the work profile.
All seems to work great.
I can acces my network shares over wifi and connect to the internet. When no wifi is available it connects via gprs.
I keep getting confused on this same issue. i installed the same rom we are talking about. it shows up for me when setting up email accounts. with my wifi turned on, it still tries to go out the 3g connection. I want it to use wifi if that is what is turned on and i think that was working on the death star rom. For the drop down that says "The Internet" I basically want that to point to wifi if on then fall back to 3g. How do we do that?
It should not be named "work".
So whats the solution here?
Under Connections....Select which networks are automatically used:
Programs that connect to the internet should connect using ???
I can either choose Medianet or my work network, I'd like for it to use wifi when available, how is this done?
Programs that connect to a private network should connect using ???
I have this set to my work network.
Easy Solution to 'Auto Wifi"
Buy an Iphone, works seemlessly, and you get a browser too which works, something these HTC phones havn't had in 3 years.
The easiest way to force wifi (since gprs can be acting as a ***** ), is to keep wlan enabled and to install the NOGPRS.cab (aka the modaco nodata plugin) which allows you to disable (but keep) the gprs settings and which you can toggle on (and back off) when needed.
Great little app, saves much annoyance!
Is there an easy way to toggle wi-fi on/off, that can be assigned to an icon or button? At the moment I have to open Comm Manager each time and do it from there.

I have a sprint htc diamond ported over to Metropcs. I've put Calkulins v4 rom on it and set up the network as described in posts on this site with the proxies to wap.metropcs.net port 3128 for all but secure wap where I use port 443. Internet works fine. To make my gmail account work I found that the connection it was using was "The Internet" which does not use a proxy. I changed it to the connection I added manually and it works fine. The problem is that programs like Windows Live don't have the option of not using "The Internet" connection and I can't find it in connection mgr to change it to use a proxy. Facebook also fails to connect and I don't know if I can use a different connection for that either. Another odd thing is that this worked fine until about a week or two ago. It's like Metro made some kind of network change. Additionally, when I use a wifi connection I am able to use windows live and facebook with no problem. Any ideas? Thanks.
metro woes
i have a sprint diamond flashed to metro and i dont have a problem with facebook. but windows live needs a better connection to set up and i suggest wifi to set it up. then it should work with the over the air network.
try my fox rom and if you want the metro wap and mms cab i can definitly send it to you friend!

And also i am not able to use packet data
i tried every combination in the book for configuring the Apn's and acess points but still no luck the phone just dosen't connect to the internet via GPRS and even that "E" icon dosent show up!!
Tried Settings>>Wireless and network>>Mobile networks and change Network mode to GSM/WCDMA(auto mode)
And also i dont have the option "Use packet data" under "Mobile networks"?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The "Use packet data" option exists in only 2.2, not in 2.1
As far as ur internet connectivity problems are concerned, I think BSNL requires around 72 hours to activate the 2G/3G services on any phone. So I assume ur net has started working by now!
On my last visit to India I used BSNL too and I remember that I had to buy a special recharge voucher in order to get the data service activated. It didn't work out of the box. Further the 3g settings were different from the standard ones that BSNL uses.

I have my g1 on simple mobile. And for the life of me i cant figure out how to get wi-fi tether to work. Ive used a few different apps all with same result the network id never gets broadcasted, i cant connect.
Anyone have their g1's on simple mobile with wi-fi tether working?
It works fine on t-mobile, although they throttle back the data speed after 30mb on the prepaid $1.49 'day pass'.
i know simple mobile uses tmobiles networks, but is it exactly the same? what app do you use to tether?
