Can I turn off the automatic wifi to Gprs when there is no wifi? or is there a manual switch. I seem to find I loose my wifi connection and then it jumps to gprs, where I dont want to do that.
Also is there any way of knowing how much I have downloaded or uploaded? or any good tools that you know will help me with this?
and....
If I want to listen to MP3 music while its in my pocket, how do I lock the buttons and screen while listening to music?
many thanks
Hi zakeen.
I had the same problem - I wanted to manually turn on the gprs.
I posted this on the Networking Thread recently:......
------------------
I have found where I can stop it from connecting the GPRS if it cant get a wi-fi conncetion. Connections icon on the connections tab (under settings), then the advanced tab, then the select networks button - "programs that automaticall connect to the internet..........". I have changed this from gprs to my isp.
------------------
I use this for the GPRS download tracking.

And you can lock the buttons by going into the settings menu and selecting system tab, then the button lock icon.
Hope this helps

Thanks I will have to try this GPRS pro, sounds good looking at it.
this is driving me nuts.
i want to connect to my wireless home network which i can but i cant find the wireless tab that it says i should have in network cards
if i hardreset the BA it finds my network and will connect no problem, but if i want to change the network password i cannot find where the settings are to do this on the BA.
i have had it once so far take me to wireless options or settings but i cant find it manually.
if i go into help its says start>settings>connections>network cards>wireless tab(which doesnt exist) gives me alist of adapters none of which work for settings i want
now i have have messed with it when i try to connect via IE it comes up that the settings are wrong and takes me back to the same place that doesnt have what i need.
i want it to use wifi as default to get on net not any grprs/phone/modem crap
where the is the wireless settings window?
its ok it was such a long time since i upgraded to WM5 that i forgot i had some patches here i needed to install
which i have and now the problem is solved
Hi all.
I need a small software where can Ichange the network settings very fast.
In the moment I activate at home with the comm manager wifi. When i go out, I turn wifi off. Then I change my network settings (start - settings - connections - connections - advanced - choose network) I change it from "My work network" to O2. Then I can use internet by GPRS.
Is there an easier way? Maybe a software (freeware)?

Hi,
I haven't managed to get BT internet sharing working between the TP2 and my laptop. I've been trying to create a BT personal area network that enables internet sharing. Whenever i select the internet sharing option, it claims my laptop doesn't support it.
This is bogus, because i had the same laptop with the same setup working just fine through my old Tytn II. You just enabled internet sharing and away you go! How HTC have managed to mess this up is baffling (and annoying!). Trouble is i need to route my laptop through my phone or it's not very useful.
Is there any way that is known to work?
Thanks for any ideas,
Don't know if this is feasible in your situation, but can't you just use the USB cable and ICS? Tethering through BT would be slower and less reliable than using the cable.
It is easy but I'm not sure if you aware about the new widcomm btooth settings applet. In the 3rd tab, select Networking Manager > Share Internet Connection > Follow On Screen > Done.
I am having the same problems and I have tried the network manager > share internet connection but no luck. what makes my case worse is that i have the Toshiba bluetooth stack. any ideas?
gotta try that with tp2 btw yesterday when i tried to send some files from tp2 to my old hermes (tytn) it didn't work because tp2 claims 'device does not support a suitable service to perform this operation'. however the bt-link between my lap-top and tp2 or tytn works fine and i have used the internet sharing many times with my old tytn
so maby the are some issues with the newer bt? dunno
Eureka! I have manged to get a connection and i am posting this over it. But I tried so many things that I am going to have to delete the connection and start all over again so I can create a step by step guide for anyone that may be intersted. Test enviroment is TP 2 WM 6.1 (obviously) and Toshiba laptop with Toshiba stack running Vista.
You have the same problem as i did if you will get the error msg 'remote device does not support bluetooth PAN' and have a toshiba bluetooth stack. I should be back soon. Wish me luck so I dont mess up everything.
1. Enable BT on TP2 and make device discoverable
2. On laptop right click BT icon --> options --> General --> select PAN networking service
--> yes --> ok.
3. On laptpp right click BT icon --> add new connection --> custom mode --> next --> select your TP2 --> next --> select group ad-hoc network --> next --> next --> finish.
4. On your device --> open ICS --> select bluetooth PAN --> select your PC from list of BT devices --> accept connection on PC.
You should be good to go at this stage cos it works for me. If you dont mind leaving the PAN networking icon on your taskbar then you only need to do step 1 and 4 anytime you want to share your internet connection otherwise it will be step 1, 2 and 4.
Good luck and I hope someone finds this useful. I also hope in the future there will be an easier and more straightforward way to connect. There probably is now but I just dont know it. Half bread they say is better than none. cheers
If the fix from lombardo8 does not work/apply to you - try the following:
1) Setup/ connect an ordinary BT serial port from your PC to the phone.
2) Use the Widcomm BT applet as monx suggested above to setup the rest.
I have found that I cannot initiate any BT activity from my phone to the PC without a connection made from the PC to the phone first - even though the PC and phone both use Broadcomm stacks!
Also my Tytn II worked perfectly with my PC so likely not to be a PC problem.
Hope this helps...
lombardo8 - you are the dude!
this worked! indeed, i too am running the toshiba BT stack. it's the one i found before worked. I had tried creating all sorts of new connections from the PC settings, but the difference you have found is in the BT options/general settings.
Strangely, the "select PAN networking service" box was not checked. i guess this explains why PAN networking wasnt active. however, what is strange is that this must have worked before using my old TyTn II without this setting.
So once this is enabled, it makes a connection fine!
with regard to wire tethering, this is always a handy fallback, but i have found that BT usually worked quite well, once set up and working, additionally you dont need a wire.
For the life of me i cannot get it to work with my work notebook running Win7 and my netbook running Win7 & OSX
It's driving me nuts
Why can't they just leave it simple. Damn Bluetooth 2.1
Is there any chance somebody can have a .cabs to install back the old internet sharing where there is a Bluetooth PAN in the drop down list. I figured that would be alot easier.
I had the same issues with TP2 and a Mac Book Pro. It works perfectly on Windows XP on this machine but not in OSX. I found a solution for OS X though:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4101986
Thanks for the info but now i'm getting the error msg below
"Failed to establish Internet Sharing connection to remote devices as it supports only Network Access Point (NAP) mode"
What does that mean and how do i configure it in OSX?? Appreciate any help with this as i need ISC in OSX.
Well it means that TP2 thinks that your Macbook offers the internet sharing and not the TP2. I get that same message until i kill the blued and tick that mark again. Then it works until next reboot where i have to repeat the sequence again. Which OSX Version and hardware are you using btw?
Seems the new Snow Leopard fixes some issues with bluetooth. I re-paired my TP2 with Snow Leopard and this works like a charm out of the box. No more fiddling with the bluetooth daemon. Let's see if it stays that way
Just disable DHCP on laptop/PC PAN & u r ready to go.

Yes bro. v1.11 will have this feature but still Widcomm stack & bt PAN working 100%
Bluetooth ICS Windows 7 WinMo 6.5
I'd like to chime in here. I've flashed several 6.5 ROMs, but with the 23016 and 23017 sys roms I can't seem to connect bia BT ICS. The USB cable works fine. It seems that my netbook does not acquire an IP address from the TouchPro. I'd sure like to find a fix for this as I use this technology all the time.
@izzyforreal
see my post above. did u disabled dhcp on ur netbook bt pan profile?

Hi monx!
How do you disable DHCP on the PC's BT PAN profile? I'm using Widcomm/Broadcom firmware 2.1.211.299 by the way.
And if I do disable it, how will the PC get an IP address??
Thanks,

I've found the solution here. Not using the "Internet Sharing" application though but a couple of nice hacks. IT ACTUALLY WORKS!!!
See attached ZIP with files and that post quoted.

Lately I've had a need to switch what bluetooth device I'm connected to pretty often and was wondering if there was a way to use Zooper (possibly with Tasker) to create a widget that would show all my bluetooth profiles and then connect or disconnect to each one by tapping them? Getting tired of going through Settings -> Bluetooth etc to change
