Hi!
I switched off WLAN through the Comm Manager, but every once in a while it turns on automatically. I want to control this myself, so how do I turn off this behavior?

If you have an old(er) version of WMWifiRouter it's known to do this.

Settings, connections, wifi (untick turn on wifi)
You now control Wifi only using comm manager.
@samsat: the Comm Manager and the Settings one aren't the same? They sure as h*ll look the same...
Well, turned it off through the settings page, now on with CM. Will try if it sticks now. Thanks!
I'm having this same problem... After I disable Wifi, it turns itself back on 5 seconds later.
Obviously some program is doing this, but I can't figure out which one it is.
I have EnergyROM Leo 21885 + 4.49.25.57 Radio, and the only other program that I have installed is AgePhone (and I experience the problem even when AgePhone is not running).
Anyone have any thoughts as to what program might be causing this behavior?
I'm running into conflicts when connected both to Wifi and 3G at the same time, AgePhone is not able to connect to my SIP server, NAT is getting blocked.
Alternatively, is there a way to disable the connection (3G & Edge) to my tmobile and just use wifi? I'd like to have the ability to quickly enable/disable the wifi and tmobile connections so that they don't run concurrently and cause problems for AgePhone.
Thanks!

hey guys,
i'm sure this has been asked, cant find the thread...
wifi on wm6 seems to dis-connect when vario II goes into standby...
and looses watever net connection u on...
anyway of sorting this???
dude, does your computer use the internet (WiFi not Ethernet) if it's on standby? I believe it does that to save you some precious power. Be happy.

This is a default behaviour of windows mobile (even version 5 already did this) and the software that uses the wi-fi connection should take this into account.
(skype for example has an option to "avoid device suspend" when open)
I'd like to know if there's an easy way to keep the Wifi on in standby too, yes I know battery life will suffer, but that's my choice. I want the wifi on constantly for incoming VoIP calls to the mobile.
Is there anythingout there (appart from skype, i dont use skype for voip) that will keep the connection alive in standby?
Thanks
you may simply turn the screen off and this will keep the connection. not a good solution but it works, open wmp and assign a key for 'toggle screen', then you can turn the screen off easily
hello. after installing artemis touch 3.01 wwe seems that wifi doesn't work anymore. more than that, i can't find the icon for wifi. what should i do? i've reinstalled it and same thing. if someone can help me...thank you all!
Have you tried the Comm Manager
Start->Programs->Comm Manager
of course. i can't find it also in start/settings/connections. in comm manager I have: Modem Mode, Phone, Microsoft Direct Push, Data Connection, Ringer, Activesync. And if I activate modem mode, my phone mode turns off.

try and reinstall the rom again, normally that will sort it out.
the problem is solved quite simple: start/settings/system/Advanced config/Appearance and it has to be checked the "Show wireless icon" option.
Or not so easy. even if my icon is there, when i want to activate it, doesn't work. i press on, and is thinking, then still on off option is remaining. where's the problem??

Reinstall the rom... I don't have the problem and i installed it 3 times already (on different p3300 ofcourse)
allready done that. doesn't work. and same problem with the older rom, i think artemis touch 2.x and with 3.01 too, same problem.
strange.. I installed 2.1 and 3.01 without any problems so far. And you don't have troubles with other roms??? To start with the org. provided rom?
i think is a setting from me, but i don't know which one. i will install the rom again, and i'll tell you
Try:
Settings > connections > wifi > network adapters > sdio wlan wireless adapter >
use especific ip.
and if i don't know the ip, i want to connect in a club, with free pass?
when you get it working with a fixed IP, you should be able to get it working with dhcp..... As told i have no trouble with wifi using dhcp... and wifi to start with. I have the Touch 3.01 WE full running on my artemis
so, doesn't work. i've made a hard reset of my device, and when I press ON for wifi in comm manager, is thinking, and remains OFF.
If you dont know the ip
On the pc (windows i supose)
run
cmd
ipconfig /all
and you get somenthing like for the wireless adaptor
ip : 192.168.1.33
mask: 255.255.255.0
gateway: 192.168.1.1
then in the pocket pc Settings > connections > wifi > network adapters > sdio wlan wireless adapter >
use especific ip.
ip: 192.168.1.150 (150 a number is different than 33)
mask: 255.255.255.0
gateway: 192.168.1.1
in settings/connections i have: connections, csd line type, network cards, network plugin, and others insignifiant. and on network cards i have: ne2000 compatible ethernet driver, asyncMac NDISWAN miniport, bluetooth pan driver, remote-ndis host, virtual ethernet intermediate miniport, etc.

Did you try to download the Touch 3.01 FULL with Cube again and install that new downloaded one??
For wifi use "sdio wlan wireless adapter" or similar.
i will try another one, black & blue to see if is working.
First of all thanks to Schap. I am using schap's compiled WM6.
I have 2 small problems.
The first one is:
I setup a WIFI connection, than launch the application which will use Internet!
(I.Explorer or VPN, etc..)
When I do some request from any application, my PPC tries to dial a number to connect via EDGE, GPRS or HSDPA, even PPC is already connected to Internet!!
The internet explorer downloads the page without any problem but at the same time i always cancel dialing via gsm or umts line.
Is there any way to make PPC avoid dialing a connection when I connected wia Wifi???
The second one is:
I have the latest version of Trinitiy with 400Mhz Samsung and 128Mb RAM. But since i cracked and reinstalled WM6 instead of WM5, it works slowly. I clicked to Start button, menu scrolls in 3 seconds. It is like running vista on pentium III processor. Is it normal? or I made a mistake during configuration?
Is it possible to upgrade RAM?
Regards to everyone...
For your 2nd problem, can you try to disable cleartype and touchflo ?
Thanks..
Now it is working faster. But i have always the same problem concerning the wifi issue...
When I am connected to the internet via Wifi or activeSync the bottom of IE says "Connecting ... 0 KB." At the same time it tries to connect via 3G, GPRS or EDGE. Then I get a message saying "Cannot connect with current connection settings. To change your settings, tap Settings."
I have tried everything on connection->settings. But still tries to connect via cellular line even there is a connection to internet!

I think i have the same problem, but in my case, it connects internally, so, when i click the internet button, i get a delay of like 15 seconds before to get any screen. this is happennig recently... it was working fine until 1 or 2 days ago... i have the proxy settings on the internet connection... im thinking that this maybe related.
Is there an app that chooses your preferred Wifi connection when it's available, like at home, over your Data connection? I know the 3G iPhone has something like this and i'd like to have that happen on my HTC TyTn running CRCs 13.0 Windows 6.1.
Any suggestions?
Cheers

SPB phone suite is one! That's why I use it!
which part of their package does what i want? i've had a look at their site
i don't want all that other stuff that they offer - just the automatic detection of my home WiFi and connection to it - disconnecting my Data connection

I did say 'spb phone suite'
Edit, not sure if it can be 'automated' you need to select a profile.
Mine works without having Phone suite installed.
When I'm at home I activate my Wifi - open activesync and sync my info. When done I simply close my wifi connection. When I'm on the road I just open activesync and it automatically opens my defauld data connection to sync via GSM / 3G. The process works simply enough.

I don't like the manual part of how WM uses available Data connections. It should be able to
1. Power on and Connect to a registered WiFi accesspoint when available
2. Connect via GRPS/UMTS/HSDPA... when no registered WiFi AP is present and power off WiFi to save battery power
Nokia phones with S60 (not FP2) operating system do support this function.

I have mine set to turn off the wifi if no network is connected in two minutes (wireless network, power settings). Sounds like you want something that will automatically turn on wifi every time you activate your device, instead of manually choosing to turn on wifi.
Before I had the wifi set to turn off, I found that was a pain in the proverbial, as it kept telling me about networks it found that I wasn't interested in connecting to!
Hi there,
I am using my friend's old HTC Touch Pro 2 as my phone decided to jump into a glass of water.
I have set everything up but my apps (facebook, marketplace, ...) don't seem to use my wifi. I have tested this by turning off my 3G connection and trying the apps. They report, that I have to check my internet connection.
Under Wireless controls > Menu > Connections > Advanced > Select Networks there is a choice of what connection should be used for programs that connect to the internet automatically. But as I go further into these settings it only allows changes for the 3G connection. I'm not sure if this is even the correct settings.
Can anyone shed any light on any kind of solution?
Thanks in advance.
In 2015 still no answer - and I have the same probleme on my HTC TOUCH PRO2 (RHODIUM100).
Hopefully there is a genius that can answer this now

In connection manager - did you check if wifi is turned on?
Hi B-44, yes and i have no probleme connecting and surfing the net with opera or IE.
I looked further in to this, so when I go to settings>All Settings>Connections:
In advanced Network I have turned OFF both HSDPA and HSDPA/HSUPA by choosing disable - Don't like extra charges, since I don't have data plan on this number.
In Comm Manager, only Phone and Wi-Fi is ON
In Connections, there is only these options:
Add a new modem connection
Add a new VPN server connection
Set up my proxy server
Still in Connections>Advanced>Select Networks>Network Management> "Programs that automatically connect to the internet should be using:" The options are:
Lebara MMS
Lebara Internet
My Work Network
My ISP
Lebara is my phone company.
- Dailing rules
- Exceptions
-- None that I can see has anything to do with Wi-Fi. Its mostly modem or VPN. I can't add a Wi-Fi connection here unless its something cryptic as setting up an VPN or Proxy server.
Facebook, wAppstore, Windows Live, Youtube, twitter - can't connect.
Opera, IE, Bing, GetJar - can connect without trouble.
I can login to Facebook through Account Manager, but the App installed won't connect to the net.
I'm a bit lost here How is your phone set up?
JBJ
Will take a look.
btw- which system is your Rhodium running with?
WM 6.5 Professional - CE os 5.2.21887 (Build 21887.5.0.86)
I had asked just to be shure...
Now- i don't really have a solution.
As your browsers work using wifi it may be the apps.
On my wm phones i used to install SPB weather.
Some months ago on all of them SPB data update started to fail
and never ever worked again. No matter if on wm5, 6.0 or 6.5.
I couldn't find any hint or solution.
If you search the web "windows mobile facebook supported" you'll find
some entrys which won't please you.
I presume there's no solution to us using wm.
Hi again, actually I'm not so concerned about FB since I hardly use it - its more the other apps that concerns me. Like the Wappstore, Omarket, and so on, I just added FB because its built in. It would seem that there are programs that cannot, use Wi-Fi - but rather want to use 3G.
Is there someone in this forum who know how to make a registry fix or program(.exe or .cab) to re-direct programs to Wi-Fi instead of always going for the 3G net? I would be nice with a switch where you can flip between 3G and Wi-Fi, just like the Curvefish 3G On/Off widget for android http://curvefish.com/widgets/2g3g-onoff.htm
With kind regards
JBJ
I'm still searching When I have a solution I will post it here
Thanks for you effort
With kind regards
JBJ
Hi, I never found a solution - so I guess you need a data plan to use this phone with the FB and other apps that don't like to use wi-fi.
With kind regards
JBJ
