Windows live &WM6 WiFi - JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading

Hello,
i have noticed that windows live ignor my wifi connection and alwayes start establishing gprs but when i cancel it it goes back to wifi and use it instead. how can i make it use wifi as default?
please note that all other application uses wifi when available except windows live (messenger, hotmail, etc...)
thanks.

I don't think you can the official word on the subject is that WiFi drains your battery much faster than gprs and hence it will always use gprs. I just have to remember to turn off the phone before Windows Live.
Its a bit of a pain, but hey, what can you do...

Can anyone enlighten us all?

Yeah, I noticed that too. Strange that. I was always under the impression that turning-off your phone (putting it into flight-mode) renders all radio communication, bluetooth, phone & wi-fi incapable of being used!?!? Never actually tried though, but then what's the point of 'Flight-Mode'?
I would have thought that a registry tweak could resolve this, but I'm not that competent as these things.

using Jwrightmcps's wm6 rom for mda pro i've been able to connect to my wifi network, but the device wont make use of it (my gprs is not setup during this testing)
ammar whoes rom are you using?

i am using Jwrightmcps's wm6 .08 ROM.
I was able to use windows live with Wifi, but after I configured the GPRS, it would not connect with wifi because gprs was off.
I deleted the GPRS and after I was able to sign in but no contacts were shown on messenger.
Still under investigation....

it's not an issue with Jwright's ROM, it's the way Windows Live is configured by M$. If you read any of the WM6 threads, you'll see there is a CAB to disable the GPRS autoconnect. Just click on the attachments of pretty much any WM6 thread and you'll find it.

Did the cab work for you? I was reading and it said that the cab would disable GPRS all together and not just for windows live.

Problem connecting to the GPRS, 3G, etc. Bad Radio?

I am using radio 1.38 since upgrading to Black 1.2. I've noticed that even with the Cingular WAB settings (cabs in another thread), it does not connect. I open PIE and click a page. It initiates a GPRS connection but never connects. Keeps saying "connecting to:" media net, ISP, whatever, but doesn't connect.
Am I missing something? Seems all the settings in connections is right. ISP = isp.cinglar and WAP = wap.cingular and all the passwords are entered. Could it be the radio? All calls are OK however.
Thanks for any help.
BTW, if the radio is bad, can I downgrade to radio 1.34? I am at 1.30OLIpro.
Suggest you try the settings from somewhere else. Walshieu's program has the settings for cingular medianet, give that a shot??
The .cab file posted has been known NOT to work and may have done something to ballz up the connections??

i tried the program but same problem. can it be a bad radio if i can make calls but can't connect to GPRS? or is must be something else?
Uninstall ALL your software and try it without. If your GPRS works then its probably the 3rd party stuff.
Same problem since day 1

I´m just piggyback this thread, I´ve had exactly the same problem since last December when I got my 8525. I´ve posted in different forums but no one was able to provide a clue, actually I´m offering a reward for the one that can solve this problem for me. Is not the device itself because I´ve tried with 2 or 3 different ones and the behavior is the same. I hope we can get a hand on this.

Turn off GPRS

Anyone know how to turn the GPRS off so that it never comes on?
What you need is this ......... creates an icon called No Data, with it you can toggle on and off your GPRS, I've been using for a while and it is excellent, stops GPRS connections altogether until you want it...
Activesync it somewhere on your orbit and then click on it within File Explorer
Ah! Stew! Saviour! A million thanks... exactly what I was looking for...
Why?
Hi
Why turn GPS totally off? does it use more battery when your not using it?
MicTh
Hi there MicTh...
I'm with O2 and their data tarrifs are somewhat expensive.
I use wifi a lot so don't need GPRS. There has been the odd occasion where I've lost wifi signal and the phone started connecting with GPRS...
The above program put a stop to this!
SG
Ohhh.. stupid me :O)
I thought u were talkin about turning GPS off.... My bad
thanks i have also been looking for app like this

This can be done easily by:
Settings->Connections->Connections->Advanced->Select Networks->(in the first ComboBox) select "My Work Network" and click OK
No GPRS does it much simpler, simply toggling between on and off....GPRS can sometimes connect on demand, the phones demand not yours when receiving messages or when Quick GOS has become outdated, NO GPRS is the simplest solution I've found.......
Thanks - I've installed this - one question
I have disabled Mobile Web and O2 Active
Will I still receive MMS messages ???

No, MMS is sent and received over O2 Active which is WAP.
where do i copy files to
im new to orbit could you tell me where i place the files please
Copy it to you memory card and run the program. It will install itself.
thanks
thanks for your help ive got it sorted
now ive installed it and i click on the nodata icon it shows gprs as deactivated but if im usin wifii it says connecting to gprs is that normal or have i done something wrong.
also if it says connecting to gprs while nodata is installed does it still run up the bill,orbit is all new to me so im still trying to find my way around it im used to normal phone.
Hi,
just a question on this wifi-gprs. Is there a way to include a priority on one of the two?
I would like my phone to connect through wifi is it finds free or known connections, otherwise it should use wifi.
Anybody know of a setting to get this done?
Patrick
I have a Hermes and I can stop my GPRS connection instantly.
Please try this (also on other HTC models)...
When you still have a GPRS connection press and hold down the hangup button for 3 to 6 secs. (the red phone you use the end a phonecall) until the little GPRS icon disappears.
GPRS as a service will stay available.
Hi.
I'm sorry but I am having a noobie moment.
I have transferred the 3 NOGPRS files into My Music (cos I couldn't think of anywhere else to put it) and clicked on the "setup" file which opens revealing lines of code. But that's it, how do I install it? Where do I find the icon?
Sorry, this might seem basic to you but it is very complicated and difficult to understand for me.

u went one step too far.
just extract the NOGPRS.cab to your device,
then take your device and click on the .cab file!

msn live insists on connecting GPRS

i've tried this on 3 different ROMs now and it's always the same
i'll have my WLAN connected and working fine
but if i use msn live it insists on connecting GPRS and ignores the WLAN altogether
any ideas ?
it's got me stumped
Yes, most anoying stuff for many of us...
You can get Messenger work over Wifi only if you config the Connections to any unconfigured settings (liek default My ISP before config).
Regards.

Good luck with that. I dumped WLM because of this and use Pocket messenger instead. Does the job and does not screw up your contacts by syncing with your hotmail account.

Imagine you have just flashed your TyTN, and get connected trough Wifi. You have not configured the GPRS/3G connection yet. In this situation, live messenger works over Wifi. But if messenger detects any GPRS/3G data service available, use it before any other data service. Live Messenger is coded to use GPRS/3G before Wifi.
right, so i need to use pocket messenger then
that's good because i hate the syncing thing it does
thanks for the advice
According to M$, that issue is fixed in the newest version....6.0.6000.16386
and where do we get this latest version from?

Thanks for the information.
However this is still considered a bug since at some point in time you will need to set your GPRS.
GPRS and BT dial-up
The same thing completely occurs to me with some different ROM.
In addition, the line of GPRS and BT dial-up often cuts when suspending
it.

More thah a bug i beleave is a bad design. Take in count MSN Live is made for many PDA, and no all the PDAs have Wifi, so perhaps they forgot to make Wifi as preferred connection for the devices that have Wifi.
Pumpiron says this is fixed in newer releases.

Goto CommManager and turn off "Phone" and turn on "WLAN" (so only Wlan is enabled) then sign into MSN (it will force it to use WLAN) and then once youre in, re-enable "Phone" in CommManager! works for me
More of a 'workaround' than a 'it works' though...

Well, Windows Live can be unistalled only if was installed before...if was cooked in, then you can't uninstall.
The best way to have only Pocket messenger is to flash any lite ROM (dopod by edhass, Schaps lite, JJ Black lite, TNT lite.....) that don't include the Windows Live, so you can select what to install on the ROM.

question: mobile IM for wm6?

hey guys, I've recently upgraded to wm6 and found out that my mobile IM that i downloaded thru mediaNet does not work anymore. it was working fine on wm5 but i do not want to downgrade back to it. does anybody have any idea when it'll be available for wm6? i talked to an ATT rep about it and they do not know, thanks
I suggest you try Agile Mobile. Works great for me.

www.fring.com from your phone - both voice and standard IM on all networks - FREE
was looking for the same thing... tried agile messenger but it really sucks performance out the phone, i'd keep missing calls (newly formatted schaps rom too).
moved to IM+ but problem with that is that i keep getting an error on sign up that some contact is already on my list, and even if i remove it it gives the error. aside from that, its a fantastic app.
haven't tried fring, but will check it out now
Try Slick. It's a good IM program.
Oh yeah, Mundu IM is good too. It's only $11. I use it a lot. It's $8.80 right now at a holiday discount.
I have purchased both Agile and IM+
IM+ is a winner in my book and been using it since then.

don't all of these apps run by data? i like the standard mobile IM from ATT cause it uses sms. (i have a 1500 text/month plan)
but i got it to work finally.... i was using Shamanix`s Grass v2.2 rom... so i flashed the original ATT wm6 rom and it worked. for some reason i believe shamanix's rom was making the IM app try to log in thru wifi, while the ATT's connects with gprs
anybody know why?
Is there any messenger for ICQ which has a good history? Particularly, I would like to be able to import the history into Miranda on my desktop. It would be perfect if there's already a converter for Miranda but if the program only saves history as plain text files I coul surely write a converter myself...

Its not a problem with the ROM you use.
Go to "Connections"
Select "connections"
Then, "Advanced"
then, "select networks"
1. In option "Programs that automatically connect to the internet should connect using" --- select " My work network"
2. In wireless option, don't forget to set the network cards to option "My network card connects to "The Internet"
Now, your wifi conx will be used for logging in.

WM6.1 and TomTom Nav 6

I have just added TNT's 6.1 rom but when I install TomTom 6, I can't get Plus services working.
Checked the username/password/device ID, reset the device on tt.com but it seems to bomb out with network error and not get off the hermes
I have the 6.0.030 version of TT
Any suggestions?
I'm having the same problem. Anyone have any ideas, could it be something on the SD card for the TomTom that needs to be changed or removed?
check to make sure your connections are configured properly. I was having issues with Pay's 6.1 ROM and I found that the 'ISP' connection wasn't working. I had to change the server in the ISP connection settings.

This is acting more like there is a method of connection being used by TT that is no longer there with 6.1
As above, everything else about data (email, IE etc) all work fine
I am running Dr. Faria Clean 6.1 and I just added Nav 6 today (still waiting for my BT GPS). I was able to download some new voices via Plus today without any issues. I also downloaded a new color scheme. I am on the AT&T network. I hope this helps.
Hmm, interesting. I ran Pay's 6.1 and ran into the same problem. I also ran Dr. Fari's full ROM and had the same thing as well. I'll see if I have time today to download and load the Dr. Faria Clean and see what happens.
Did you try to start IE and surf to a page to make sure data connection was working before starting tomtom?
I know some software doesn't seem to be able initiate data connection and will only work if it is already available.

That's not it. Everything else works fine. I was actually streaming internet radio stations when I tried to do it so it's not it.
One more clue.....
Looks like there is some values not being set correctly for connections on AT&T
In the case of the TNT 6.1 rom, it would seem that some apps were defaulting to "The Internet" not Media Net for the connection and not working.
So it would seem that TT might be defaulting to a value that some ROMs are not setting correctly
If someone could tell me where to check my settings I would be more than willing to post them. I would be curious if you could get it to work with faria's clean ROM though. It seems to work great for me.

tt and I did some more testing and ran the CINGULAR WAP cab that I keep for instances such as these. It fixed the problems with some of the applications that weren't connecting to the data network (MobiTV, XMRadio), but Slingplayer and TomTom both had troubles. The funny thing was that when it went to connect it kept trying to connect via the ISP even when MediaNET was selected for both options. Something is definitely not set correctly on TNT 6.1 so I'm pretty convinced that it's a TNT problem and not a 6.1 problem. I've posted the Cingular WAP settings cab for ease of use.
Problem solved......
The problem turns out to be that the Connection Config added an AT&T proxy server.
Delete the proxy server and it all starts working ok
I had MediaNet and 'My ISP' I simply changed the 'My ISP' server to match the one from MediaNet. Everything works. XM, MobiTv, TT6, Google, MS Live, Youtube, etc..
