Hi vikino
To answer your first question, I think it may be because you are using ActiveSnyc with Push Email enabled. If you go to Comm Manager, is the switch for "Microsoft Direct Push" on? If so, when you are on a GPRS connection and make a call your data connection will drop as only 3G or HSDPA can co-exist with an active call. Like the difference between old dial-up and modern broadband internet on your landline. If you're not using Direct Push I can't think what's causing it, but it maybe the HTC Push Internet. If it's the push email thing, you may want to consider switching off "Microsoft Direct Push" from Comm Manager and then going into ActiveSync and setting the sync schedule to "As Items Arrive" manually.
Can you please clarify your second question. It's not 100% clear what is not being displayed properly.
Cheers

.....you know what? You're right, im using Push mail with my own mail server at home...and in the region i live in we dont have 3G it runs on Edge... Push internet i dont know where to set it up, i found it only in TF3D, but im not using it...If it is working w/o TF3D would be nice to know where to set it up...
The second thing is that on Xperia i had was nice small font in menu so in landscape fits all fields in without scrolling, on TP2 is much more bigger font and i have to scroll down for everything, programs and settings i found in top as icon...

Data connection question

I have the Telus Touch Pro 2 and have noticed for quite some time now it has been randomly connecting and I haven't been able to track down what program is doing it. I have disabled the push internet and even installed the NoPushInternet_v2.cab but it is still doing it.
Is this happening to anyone else?
Is there a program that can track what programs call up the Data connection or maybe the aGPS?
Thanks for any info you guys may have.

If you have it enabled, both the weather tab and the Facebook integration will use up data.
Also, if you set up an exchange account, use activesync, Windows Live account, or QuickGPS.
Google Maps can also run in the background to transmit your location data if you have it enabled for Latitude.

Make sure you used tools like memmaid or other similar tools. It will show u what services is running even though you thought those programs that you closed, actually they are not closed.
I have mine behaving the same problem like u discribed, checked the microsoft live service still run causing the problem. I used memaid to stop it from lauching. and now it fixed.

hi there
maybe this will help OP as well, is there a tweak that will allow the Data connection to ask permission before connecting?
thanks in advance

That was one of the things that really bugged me when I first got my TP2. I didn't always need data, and it annoyed me because of the batt instead of data charges. Try a program called No Data. I think the actual cab file is called nodatahtcdriver. You'd have to do a search to find it because I can't remember where I found it. It allows you to toggle your internet, data and MMS.

SMS-like or SMS replacement software options

My wife and I both now have WM phones (mine is a Tilt 2, hers a Pure) and we don't want to spend money on text messages to each other, since each text message would count twice... once for her receiving and once for me sending. (on a pay per use plan it would be $0.40 each!).
I was looking for other options. Push email is o.k. but often times there can be a minute or more delay, and my early tests of push gmail are not producing any confidence that it would push reliably.
So then I was thinking IM. It looks like IM programs would be battery hogs, and have to stay running in the background, and could easily be accidentally closed. Also, when the phone goes to sleep it seems like they then switch you to "offline".
So am I missing something? What are my sms like, non sms options?
Also does anyone have any small programs that would set up a auto-soft reset on a repeating schedule, it would be great if I could start the morning with a fresh phone. Thanks.

Yes, any non-sms messaging app for your phone would obviously use data (3G or EDGE connection) to communicate, and would need to be left on all the time to be able to receive incoming messages and notify you in real-time...so battery drain would be in direct proportion to that.
The best solution I've ever seen for that is Palringo, a free IM-integrator app that can connect you through most of the common IM networks (yahoo, AIM, Google talk, etc), or just direct through it's own (if I remember correctly)...meaning that as long as you and she both have the palringo client installed, you don't necessarily have to use any of those services to be able to IM each other. It's also free, and I seem to recall that it can be set (but isn't by default) to stay connected even when the phone goes to sleep, but don't quote me on that part.

It would be great if one of these programs had a "listening" service that would run in the background and then notify you of the "call" similar to an email.
I have seen a few online, (my research has just begun) that indicates "push notifications". Sound interesting, the data connection would remain active all the time that does not bother me.
I seem to have lost the setting to switch the "x" button from close to minimize. That would solve the issue with accidental closing the program. It would have to be managed via the task manager.. no biggy.. and then if I can find a soft reset scheduler it would keep the open programs from overwhelming the phone.

If you'll find one, please let me know
lost the setting to switch the "x" button from close to minimize.

it's the other way around. default for winmo is minimize, there is
an htc bundled app called taskman. it's in settings - task manager which is making apps close when you click X
plenty of other apps can change that too
and then if I can find a soft reset scheduler it would keep the open programs from overwhelming the phone.

i made myself app doing change on backlight settings every morning and evening, I changed it for you to do reset
give it a try tell me if it's working for you and if error will pop up let me know what's it saying, at least line number

[Q] Is it real push mail(Gmail)?

I've setup my gmail account on my desire HD. Sometimes it worked well, I can receive notification just when I received a mail, but sometimes it will be several minutes later, and for now, it didn't show up at all.
I've checked all settings, it's correct. And if I changed some settings at sync&Account options, it'll show push message several minutes later; but after a while, it won't work again.
I never faced these problems when I use Iphone. So could you give me some advice on this issue?

BTW, when I received a message from i.e. whatsapp messenger, the push mail notification will show up at the same time.

My GMail push works flawlessly. Instant notification as soon as I get something. No idea what's wrong with your account/settings though, sorry. The only thing you could mess up is turning synchronization off for the whole device or even only for your GMail account by accident, but you said you checked that...maybe double-check it again, that would be my only idea right now

Always remember you need data connection for gmail to work.

Thanks to all, maybe network problem.
I finally got my notification 30 minutes later. It's work status seemed not stable. And today I got my mail notification much sooner, I mean less than a minute.
Maybe it's network problem, I'm not sure because it's all OK when I used Iphone.

i get exactly the same problem...
i do notice that notifications work perfectly when i am on my wifi..however under cellular data (3G or H) sometimes the notifications can take their time..sometimes it comes immediately..and i know because i set up a notification widget at my work pc and that works flawlessly,
so what i end up doing is to set exchange for gmail!..
and that works perfect..well almost 99% of the time..
for this to work..you set up exchange put your username and no domain..
and server for gmail is m.google.com
set the update for push..and thats it..
now gmail on cellular network gets push correctly...
it sucks cuz i rather use the gmail client...but it will do for me...
so ..am guessing that if it works on wifi ..it might be an issue with the cellular network..i am with vodafone..

I'm with Optus and I get new mail notifications on my phone near instantly over 3G.

I noticed this too when I started using my phone
exchange server seems to be real push, gmail app takes a while to update for me but i like the gmail app more than the standard mail app, maybe theres a better one out there.

Mobile internet does not switch off

I have a touch pro 2 and have just come off a no data limit package to a cheap 100 mb one on o2.
Nowadays I hardly use the data on my fone but only a week after switching I get a text that I've hit my limit. I use email push but only a dozen or so emails a day. No fb or twitter. no browsing.
I notice whenever email gets pushed the notification says I'm still connected. 20 hours I was connected for but I wasn't using any online applications. Is it normal for it to sit idling like that and will this contribute to my allowance ... Seems pretty clear it does.
I've tried all the settings but nothing switches the mobile internet off automatically when I connect to pick up emails.

Just connect, grab email, disconnect. If you have to manually connect, I don't see why it's a big deal to manually disconnect. If you leave it connected, there's applications that will use the net by default - like weather, etc.

Actually I think the weather app was responsible in the first instance but it's off now.
Just doesn't make sense that it would not switch off.

What do you mean? If you switch it on, it stays on. Just switch it off when you're done.

I guess what I mean is that if a device has push email functionality is doesn't make sense that when it retrieves it, it doesn't go offline.
I'm manually connecting now and that seems to be working.
Thanks for the help so far.

If you enable the connection, it will stay enabled. There might be some app like mortscript or something that will help you automate this process, but if you manually enable it you're going to have to manually disable it, short of what I mentioned above.
