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?

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!

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can sometimes connect on demand, the phones demand not yours when receiving messages or when Quick GOS has become outdated, NO GPRS is the simplest solution I've found.......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!

3G and wifi balloons missing options

Hey!
So I upgraded to WM6 using Schapps' rom. So far so good, but I am really missing my connect / disconnect options from WM5 in the Today icons at the top of the screen. All they give me now is an option to go to the wireless manager.
How do I restore this much needed functionality? For example, when I launch IE or Opera by 3G / GPRS and then close the browser, I stay connected (with a little timer in the bubble). How come this no longer auto-disconnects? Also there is no option to force a disconnection from within the bubble.

Use shadowmite's tweak tool, this is a reg hack.
http://shadowmite.com/wiki/index.php/HTCustom

Hi, thanks for that, but I've got Schapps' Advanced Configuration tool in his ROM, which appears to closely resemble this. But there is nothing about the wifi balloon, nor is there anything about making 3G / GPRS auto-disconnecting. The "3G and GPRS disconnect and timer" option doesn't seem to work.
Edit: I don't really understand; why are reg hacks even needed to restore functionality that was in the previous version of WM? It seems like things are going backwards!!!

Those functions were unlocked using the exact same reg hack by carriers. They are disabled by default on all ROMs afaik.

Hi, I'll give the tweak tool a go once I get home. However I certainly did not have a countdown timer for 3G / GPRS when I had WM5. Is there no way to have an auto-disconnnect?
Also the tweak tool doesn't mention anything about the wifi balloon?

I know it's bad form to reply to one's own post, but just to crystallise this:
Why has my Wifi and 3G "Connnect / Disconnect" options in the icons at the top of the today screen (on the title bar), been replaced with a link saying, "wireless manager"?
And how do I get them back?

Okay looks like I may have found a solution. Please tell me the below is possible in WM6?

Hi,
maybe this should help you
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=299075&highlight=bubble+fix
- but, I don´t know exactly why - for me it´s not working on Schaps c version - but could be only a problem of the german release.
Let me know if it works for you...
I changed back to Elf´s rom - this is the on that satisfies me most until now, btw. the bubblefix works prfectly on that one.

can wifi be always on ?

i'm using wm6 bepe 0.76 with radio 1.46
i was just wondering if there is a way to keep the wifi connection always on (mainly to keep skype always connected)
is it possible guys ?

Sure but it eats you power, and borthers you when new AP are detected... if you can live with this no prob...
Personally I switch it off when I go out and switch it on when I arrive at home or office...

If you use psShutXP, you can press the LIGHT OFF button, and it will only turn off the screen...

You can change your power settings to never let your device go automatically into standby mode which would allow the wifi to stay connected. I wouldn't recommend this unless you have it plugged into the power supply because the battery won't last the whole day with wifi always activated.

thanks so much !
searching for the prog right NOW !

A little late but someone maybe finds it usefull, no need for programs, all you have to do is this:
The solution to have "always on" wi-fi, is applying three registry hacks. Please note that you must apply all three registry edits and soft reset your device before this takes effect. If you're looking for a free and reliable registry editor for your Windows Mobile device, you can take a look at the PHM Registry Editor.
The necessary registry edits are:
1. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\State\Suspend\{98C5250D-C29A-4985-AE5F-AFE5367E5006} - change to 1
2. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Power\State\Resuming\{98C5250D-C29A-4985-AE5F-AFE5367E5006} change to 1
3. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Power\State\Unattended\{98C5250D-C29A-4985-AE5F-AFE5367E5006} change to 1
Now the wi-fi connection will stay on even while your device is suspended. Remember that you'll have to re-enable the wi-fi connection if you soft-reset your device, though.
Tested and it works!

Does anyone know haw to add the GPRS disconnect button???

It seems like no one knows or no one is willing to share the ref hack to enable the disconnect button in the balloon when you are connected to net, the only rom ive seen that has this button is Toms B&B roms, so i know it is possible.

This works in my Rom NewArtemis 2.3
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\Phone]
"Flags2"=dword:00000008

Press red key for about 8 secs (works on official release), no need of the disconnect button

That reg hack doesnt work

NewArtemis 2.3?!

Nobody did notice that Fracoon mentioned his NEW ROM?! But so far I've seen it nowhere...
Fracoon, please, share your new rom with us!

hi,
if you want to automatically stop edge connection (web and email) after 1 minute, try phone alarm, there is an option on advanced menu that turns off automatically data connection,

Do most people close their GPRS connection, or leave it open?
Is it correct that you only have to pay for downloaded data? So you can leave it open all the time at no cost?
What are the advantages of shutting down the GPRS conection every time?
Thanks

It depends on the mobile provider and your contract with it, but yes, in most cases you pay only for the down- and uploaded data.

The advantage is prolonged battery life! The phone, with GPRS open, eats more energy.
And regarding the original question:
If you have SKTools (very useful prog) go to 'Tune Up!' menu item, go to 'Phone edition' and there you will find the possibility to create a Disconnect button for your bubble.
Good luck!

so it's normal that the data connections stays open until a manul stop happens?
no way to avoid this problem without installing 3rd parts software?

Remove notification when having no radio coverage

Hi there,
is there any possibility to remove this notofication when having no radio coverage (as in my underground garage)...
I'm a bit fed up with it, always switching it away...

You will need to supply information as to which ROM you are using.
On my stock Tmobile US ROM, I don't get this notification.

I use the latest HTC ROM (6.5) with Sense 2.5 but I had this notification on every ROM I had installed (6.1 and the 6.5 from November)
to explain it once more. when I go in my underground garage (where I have no radio coverage) and I stay there for 2 minutes, then the notification comes which says: "no connection possible".
I would like to disable this, but in Software there is no possibility.

This sounds more like you phone is trying to make a data connection, rather than a phone connection. I do get this alert when there is no phone service available - but only if I try and go online for some reason. Are you using some applications that automatically connect to the Internet?

yes, the weatherapplication, active sync, etc.
and I think you are right, regarding the data connection. is there any possibility to switch off this data connection notification?
thx and regards

*push*
does anyone have an idea?

Youre probably going to have to edit your registry if you want to keep your weather, etc running and disable the notification. Justt google "windows mobile registry editor" and im sure youll find it. After installing it comes the fun part. You get to search your registry for the value that controlls that notification, it will have a name indicating the function, something like "DataConnectionNotification" or something similar, and its value will be 1. You will want to change it to 0. Findinf it will be the tough part, theres a ton of folders in the phones registry, and some of the names of the values can be kinda cryptic. But you should be able to find it with a little time and common sense. I would start my search in HKCU/Software/HTC/builtin/ril (might not be exact path) and if its not in there, expand your search. Maybe someone will be kind and post exactly where it is in your registry, I cant search rt now Im on my phone

Thx for the advice
the only thing I found was on:
HKCU/Software/HTC/ConnectionSetup
there I changed the value "Enable Autonotify" from 1 to 0
but it seems not to be the right one since the notification is not gone...
it would be nice if somebody could help me finding the right registry entry?
