I just wanted to watch some youtube with my home wifi, and then it works.. A week later i get a bill from att saying that i used a lot of data, the bill was like $300 because of youtube.
Is there any way to disable GPRS completly? I am Majorly Thankful
You can try to delete the connection settings
Start>settings>connections>>connections>manage existing connections>hold down on the connection and hit delete.
But that means no data capabilities at all via gsm/3g
Thanks boog
Your welcome!
But, no offense, when everything is centered, it is very odd to read.
it makes you have to concentrate on reading the post.
Or at least it's that way for me.
feels odd
Leads to the possibility of having to jump back and forth.
Instead of our normal language layout
Just saying, because I have noticed it in all your posts.
Alright, ill start doing that.. I just find it cool to do it. But thanks in advance for the advise.
I hesitated on posting it, afraid you would take it wrong. Glad you didn't!
Why whould you think that i would take it the wrong way? lol
It's easy to take things the wrong way on the net lol
I see what you mean. Illl defenitly keep you in mind.
And if you don't want to remove your settings completely, try "nodata" app.

Whops, too late. Lol
Wow, I didn't know about the nodata app.
Having unlimited data, I never felt the need.
Error when trying to run nodata
I get an error when trying to run this program on WM6.5. Is there another easy alternative? I don't have a data plan and don't want GPRS turning on without my knowledge.

You could try Advanced Configuration Tool 2.0 or higher to enable/disable your connection settings. Menu/Connection Settings...then click over the connections name to change states. I think is a more flexible solution than NoData since you can disable only internet and let other services/connections enabled.

delete your gprs/3g connection setting
go download htc connection manager run it once set it up and run nodata again
should work
Ah...thanks for the above. The solution was I didn't have a GPRS connection setup...(I'd just updated ROM's) and therefore nodata wasn't finding a connection to disable! I setup the connection and it worked just fine.
Thanks for the other posts too..I'll try both methods see which works best for me.

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 ???

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!

I upgraded my ROM to the official Cingular WM6 (got it here). I have a problem with pocket IE on any connection other than GPRS/EDGE/3G.
I cannot browse anything with Pocket IE over wifi/active sync. I tried doing other stuff like checking my email and that works so I know its not the wifi settings on my PC. I also tried to connect my PSP and my NDS and both worked so its not some port problem.
Has anyone encountered this and does anyone know of a solution?
I have a problem with PIE not displaying graphics in full resolution. They are all down sized. view -> desktop no longer shows them at full size.
I'm using vp3gs wm6, with IE cache to card.
Any hints on how to restore graphics to their full size? I'm trying to view my network traffic graphs, and when they are downsized, they become useless. I was running Custel's 1.3 for months without issue.
Thanks!

I found the fix on the WIKI. It had to do with the had coded proxy that they put on the ROM. Deleting 1 key fixed it. If you encounter the same, look under Hermes_Problems of the WIKI.
i am having this same exact problem...off to the wiki!
edit: awesome, seems to be working well so far, thanks for the heads up!
and here is the fix if you don't feel like searching ( and who does? ) and woo 100th post!
Turn off hard coded proxy into IE
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Internet Settings] The default setting (that uses the proxy) is:
"EnableAutoDetect"=dword:00000000 Change it to:
"EnableAutoDetect"=dword:00000001 Or simply delete it. It's more of the fact that if it's there and =0 it's used. if it's missing it's not used. But changing it to =1 will also make it disable. This way you can simply change the value back without re-adding the seting back in.
For some reason, the registry entry above will occasionally revert from =1 to =0, causing IE's proxy to be active again. Deleting the registry entry prevents this from happening.

Or...............
y'all could just use the Enable/Restore Proxy icons already provided in the ROM (Programs | Proxy Manager). Guess which registry key they flip...

I gave this a shot cause I realized I had the same issue. It didn't work for me. I don't know how to edit the registry yet. Could you point in the direction to do that. The first time I did it it worked without problems. I did a hard reset and after that it didn't work any more. Any tips.

Well, if you do a hard reset it's going to re-enable the proxy by default. I've never seen the Proxy Manager not work, let's put it that way. That said, if you go installing other settings cabs, etc... all bets are off (at least with my ROM, they are...).
Salute to you all!
Salute to you all.
I had this problem long times ago.
It's solved now.

Disabling Proxy worked for Pocket IE, but...
I'm having trouble trying to get Windows Live to work off WiFi rather than connect via GPRS/UMTS. Has anyone else run into this problem and if so, is there any way to fix it?
Thanks in advance.

I re-disabled the proxy. I guess it may be because I am at work right now and the wireless is crapy. I can't get anything other than a local connection on my PC. So I'll let you know later

The only way i have found to do this is to go to CommManager and turn off "Phone" and enable WiFi and then sign into Windows Live, and then go back to CommManager and Enable Phone again! it forces it to connect to wifi rather than the choice between wifi and gprs stuff
hope that helps
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?!

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.
diligaf said:

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?
Hello All,
First of all, I'm sorry if I open new thread. I already tried to search similar problem here but could find anything. Btw, I'm still new to Windows Mobile platform.
I've got problem with GPRS.
First GPRS connection is very slow (compared to after Hard reset), and after connected, Internet Explorer shows "Locating..." on status bar. Then message box appears "The page cannot be found. Check the name and try again."
All applications also could not access internet via GPRS.
I guess that DNS is not properly configured during connection.
I found two workaround solutions currently:
- Use Work connection, instead of ISP Internet (Setting -> Connection -> Advanced -> Select Network -> "Connect internet using "Work""). This solution is not really stable.
- Hard reset solve the problem. Last option which is very bad.
- Does anybody have similar problem? Does anybody know how to fix?
- How to find like "ipconfig" in Windows?
If somebody knows link / reference with similar problem, please kindly provide it.
I would really appreciate it. Thanks!
Best regards,
TwoAce

goto start-settings- tab connections - wireless lan
then goto tab power mode, and put slider to "best performance"
press ok.
it works for me.
Hello stormyb,
May I know what is the correlation between GPRS and Wireless LAN?
Do you also have problem with not working ISP Internet connection?
Thanks.
Best regards,
TwoAce
Have you tried to re-run the Network Wizard to see if it will rebuild your settings for you? I've had a few occasions when I've needed to do this, and it sets things straight.
I don't see the correlation between the Wi-Fi and GPRS either, but stormyb might know something we don't.
I get negative result on what stormyb suggested.
Thanks a lot for your input!
SuperSport, I already tried, too before and get negative result.
Thanks for your input.
This is what I did:
1. Remove All Connections setting (both Internet and Work).
2. "Enable Auto Configuration" on Connection Setup
3. Shutdown
4. Turn on and receive notification about empty connection.
5. Create manually Internet setting on Connections (I created manually because Ukraine is not on the list of Connection Setup.
6. Check via Internet Explorer and receive negative result
7. Workaround solution -> Create manually Work setting on Connection and redirect all connection to Work. Works perfectly!
Did I miss something here?
I wonder how to check network configuration (like ipconfig in Windows desktop).
Best regards,
TwoAce
Btw, I just read some articles.

As far as I know, they do the same thing, but Network Wizard is older. I have to use the HTC Network Wizard to get the correct settings for my network. HTC Connection Setup does not work for me. I just checked HTC Network Wizard, and found it has WellCOM listed under Ukraine. Is that your network? If so, you might try installing Network Wizard and see if that helps. It can be uninstalled if it's no good.

sorry my mistake, i thought you were talking about wireless lan,... but for that you have to do what i typed before.

Among 3 of 4 Radio version, unfortunately only 1.38.00.11 works with USSD support (e.g. *101# to check balance).

Hi, I upgraded to WM6.1 over the weekend, everything looks pretty cool.. But IE can not get on the internet anymore.
I'm able to check the email okay but IE reports the following error
HTTP ERROR $CODE$
I see the Edge (E) come up when I launch the IE so that means IE is trying to open the connection but does not bring anything back.
Someone please help
That is the same error I get.
I scanned pretty much all related thread did not find anything yet...

Hi, Newbs. When you flashed your phone did you use the "Sticky: The Guide for UPGRADING WM 6 to 6.1 with PICS and LINKS" I'm pretty sure you both skipped a step naughty naughty....
Well if you go to the Sticky and look at post #3 and run your connection setup like you were suppose too, we wouldn't be having this conversation . It honestly should be that simple.

Internet Explorer not working?
I've been able to figure out every other problem with my IE, but now this one has stumped me, and i need help.
i'm using Wifi, and for some reason i cant go to any websites. even a site such as google wont work.
I get an error that says "The page cannot be found. Check the name and try again."
and i know for a fact that im not typing in "http://www.google.com" wrong. its not a hard one.
its not my connection. im sitting right next to my wireless modem and router and my computer is working fine. in the Comm Manager i have full Wifi service.
There was at one point when i a site to work, but then IE went back to the IE homepage on its own and wouldnt work again.
SOOO pleaseee, if anybody can help, please do
Thanks guys =]

Not sure if this will help but...
I have found that if I switch networks from my "E" data plan to my home WIFI, or vice-versa, I have to quite IE (press the pink tmobile button and select "close" for IE) then restart it and viola it works. I seem to have to do this anytime I was using IE on one network and then connect to another without my phone being turned off at anytime in between.
Hope that helps.

If you are running Ricky's v24:
Start > Accessories > Connection Setup
Run the Connection setup, select United States and T-Mobile. I think that you'll need a reboot after the settings update.

having the same problem and after running the connection set up again still getting the "http error $code$ $message$ requestURI=/"
I'm on the 5.99 t-zones. the really weird thing is right after the flash it was working then tried it about 30 min later and nothing. I've tried about 4 different variations of manual settings I can find. Any help?
I'm having the same problem with internet after upgrading to 6.1. Yes I have ran the connection setup and let it reboot, tried it twice with no luck. Txt messages still work, just doesn't seem to access any internet sites. I'm using the 19.99 plan and running Kavana's 6.1 080408 final. I have also tried using the manual settings provided by Tmobile
Any ideas?
does your MMS work?
if not call t-mobile to reenter you into their network. 5 minute call.
do the connection setup then do the tzones hack it worked fine for me and this is the second dash after my first one went out. Not one problem installing anything use search I dont post must as u see but I have done plenty of mods on thru this site without asking questions all the answers are out there just search and read.
