Enable data connection while roaming - Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General

I've searched everywhere I could think of but cannot find a solution for this...
My provider is Telfort, Holland. In some areas they use the network of KPN, another provider. The problem is that every time I try to connect to the internet, email, update weather and such I get a notification that I shold confirm this because the costs can become (too) high. This is no problem since the providers have an aggreement so it's only about the annoying part.
I've tried the "inbox registry key", push mail seems to work but IMAP is still bugging.
I've also tried NoData and NoFataWhileRoaming....
Any help is welcome!

Xda IIs & WLAN/GPRS issues

Upgraded from Xda II to Xda IIs end January and initially WLAN worked fine, but no GPRS. Went though process of creating GPRS connection (with O2 Support) and now cannot get IE to connect through WLAN. It always tries GPRS! Has anyone experienced this and/or got a solution?
Mike,
You will need to give us some more info on your settings.
If its an O2 unit with original firmwware if you back stuff up try a hard reset to get default settings back and ensure GPRS works then add the WLAN.
I live in Caldecote just outside Cambridge if you get really stuck we could meet up and you can try and copy my settings and check your SIM has GPRS enabled using mine that kind of thing.
Cheers Wayne
Many thanks Wayne. I'll do a backup and hard reset (with trembling hand no doubt) and see where I get to before getting back to you. Many thanks for the offer of help. I'm in Barrington, so it's not a million miles to come to talk if necessary.
you might already know this mike and if so at least it may be of help to others.
if your gprs connection is active then it doesn't matter wheather the wireless lan is on or off, internet explorer will always connect to gprs.
switch off gprs by clickiing on (in my case O2) your service providers icon and if "mobile web" is highlighted then click on it to switch it off.
Thanks, but I'd tried that and more. Eventually, as Wayne suggested, I did the dreaded hard reset and restored everything from scratch. I now have WLan working on my home LAN, but as I have such lousy GSM/GPRS coverage here I haven't yet tried to see if the GPRS side is now going to work. That's for tomorrow and where I started in the first place when I found it wasn't working! :?
Thank everyone for the suggestions.
Hello Mike
I had the same problem, and after thorough search I found the solution:
start->settings->connections -> advanced
select networks : both drop-down boxes are set to
"my work network"
This prevents the automatic gprs connections.
If you want gprs you can use the wireless manager
(start->programs->wireless manager)
and there tap the red gprs icon
In other words RTFM....

Solution for Messenger Live connection issues?

I have been trying to login Messenger Live with Wifi...but it always use gprs instead when my connection is active...
and even my gprs is on...its times out..saying that i need to find a place for better connection and so on..
but why it doesnt connect directly using wifi??
Is there a way to fix the issue? it never happen with wm5's msn
Thanks again
Mike
when the gprs bubble pops up... press cancel.
then it uses wifi. problem fixed. why it tries gprs by default i would assume is due to mobile.
once i cancel works perfect over wifi until i move out of range.
I'm using Black 2.0 and changed the connection settings to 'Work network' (settings-connections-connection-advanced-select networks-my work networks) now I dont get the annoying gprs connection trying to start, just uses the wifi I have set up. Let me know how that goes.
dear all...thanks for the great help
falum...i did ur setup and i dont have the gprs pop up again...many thanks
but the other issues comes in...it often say that i cannot connect..(even when i was on gprs)...do you have the same problem beforee??
Im using the live version that is cracked (no time limited) that i download from here..im really confuse to which version i should get (since some said it expired)...
if its possible...can you direct me to the thread to the correct one??
Thanks again!

A solution to if your emails will not sync and download on 3g (but only via wi-fi)

Hi all,
I have a Touch Pro 2 on T-Mobile in the UK.
After receiving I'd quickly gone through and set up all email accounts and was happily receiving and sending etc.
However one day it dawned on me, the emails would only receive if I was connected via wifi, if i was just using 3G it would say "error synchronising".
I checked the settings 100 times and couldn't work out the the issue, even T-Mobile themselves couldn't help.
Then one day I found what I'd gotten wrong:
Go to Emails
Accounts
highlight account - Menu Softkey
Click Account in list
Edit Account Setup
Next until you get to the E-Mail setup screen with "advanced server settings" as a link at the footer.
Click "Advanced Server Settings"
Change Network Connection from "Internet" to "T-Mobile Internet"
This may be the issue with other networks as well so if you experience the same issue take a look and make sure there's no "orange Internet" etc.
Hey presto your emails will now download via all internet means as well as Wi-Fi.
Who knows why for T-Mobile Internet is actually only wi-fi and not "the other" internet on our devices.
Hope that helps anyone else in the same situation as I was.
I have the same problem but then with my provider Hi.
After a hard reset the settings aren't loaded correctly. I've also been on the phone with the helpdesk, technical helpdesk and a lot of people who really didn't understand a whole lot about phones and they all couldn't figure it out. Touch Pro 2 settings weren't available yet.
Finally I just looked up the settings from the Touch Pro and entered those manually. This worked just fine.
But, if you set the connection to "T-Mobile Internet" instead of "The Internet", it will never use WiFi for that account.
I have a TP2 on T-Mobile and my e-mail accounts are configure to use "The Internet" and it works fine.
Even with Wi-Fi off?
Is your a branded t-mobile handset in the UK?
Hi LocoNinja
I'd be very interested to now how you've got your e-mail able to use either WiFi or the phone's GPRS/3G/HSDPA connection...
Since upgrading to WinMo6.5 (official HTC update) I've noticed that I can only connect to e-mail via WiFi if I use 'The Internet' as the connection, and only connect via GPRS/3G/HSDPA if I use 'T-Mobile Internet' as the connection...
It's bugging the h*ll out of me!
Cheers in advance
possibly a t-mobile issue, as with my vodafone branded tp2 it works fine.
For example: If wi fi is enabled, it uses that. If wi fi is disabled, it just opens a hsdpa / 3g connection and uses that.
Did the same thing on the original VF 6.1 rom and with the newer VF 6.5 rom. Also works perfectly on the custom rom i am using.
Hi dazkeirle, that's what mine used to do on WinMo 6.1... I wonder if something else I've installed has b*ggered it up
Will have a tinker and let you all know if I find anything...
**Sorted it - It was WMWiFiRouter that had messed the connection up - removed, settings changed in e-mail to 'The Internet' and everything's working fine now
Pesky WMWiFiRouter V1.50 - it messes up your display time-out time too

GPRS-connection unstable

Hi Y´all!
Tried searching for this but no cigar so here goes:
I´m having periodic trouble maintaining a stable GPRS connection.
For example i start Opera & open a web page. GPRS connection is established. So far so good.
Then the site is kept open for perhaps 15 minutes without utilizing a link (i haven´t clocked it but it´s in that general vicinity).
Then i use a link, and get connection error, or perhaps minimize the browser and chek for new mail, and get sync. error.
In any case it is clear that the GPRS connection i dead. Then i go to the connection center and shut down the data connection (which indicates green - up&running).
Then i restart the GPRS connection, Either from activating a weblink or checking for mail or pretty much anything else that depends on the connection.
Then BINGO... GPRS is up and running again for another 15 minutes or so.
The fact that i had (and lived with) the same problem on my old Kaiser leads me to think that this may be about a setting somewhere in WinMO??
Is the connection perhaps "hibernating" if it isn´t used for a period??
And mainly: Does someone know howto fix it??
Perhaps i should add that i live in a small town in the arctic part of the world and we have no 3G/HDSPA coverage, There is only the GPRS connection. At home i use my private Wi-Fi link wich is humming along fine&nicely.
Please help

It's like the xDSL connections that shut down after some time of inactivity. In a normal xDSL connection you have a possibility in the equipment of selecting an "Always ON" option that sends random packets to keep the Internet session from being shut down automatically by the BBRAS/DSLAM/RADIUS equipment.
In terms of mobile world I do not know if exist a similar way of doing it.

Wifi use for email and Opera

Firstly I apologise if this has been answered already but I've tried searching and couldn't find an answer.
My email and internet works perfectly over a 3G connection but I spend a lot of my time travelling and so as not to incur high roaming charges I would like to be able to use a wifi connection for my email and internet. The problem is that even when I have a wifi connection both of these applications still try to use the 3G signal.
I expect I am probably missing something quite basic but I can't seem to work out how to make these applications use the wifi connection instead of 3G.
If someone could explain this to me I would be very grateful. If you can provide an idiots guide of step by step instructions that would be even better.
Thanks in advance for your help.

For email go into the account settings for each email account and under advanced server settings change the connection. on AT&T it defaults to Media Net. Change this to The Internet and this will allow it to use wifi if it is on.
I always set my Wi-Fi connections to connect to my Work network, and leave AT&T as The Internet. Then in the Connections settings, I switch the preferred networks for applications to access the internet between Work and The Internet depending on what I want to force the phone to use. Works for ALL applications that access the internet, not just email. For a long time I didn't even have an AT&T data plan, and that's how I forced my phone to use Wi-fi.

Thanks for the hint. But how can I change the preferred connection (e.g. wifi) using my hotmail-account for email? I can't find in the account-settings.
Any ideas are welcome!!!
