Any way to adapt this so you can choose times when on and off.

My phone buzzes each night for emails

There is a simple manual solution to that problem, if you're not using the alarm function of the phone. In WM5, go to Start/Settings/Sounds & Notifications and untick the Programs and/or Notifications sections. If you then leave the phone, the screen is still there in the morning when you wake up, so you can remember to reset it!

Just a guess, but is this hard-coded for QVGA?

Hello everybody,

I installed this NoData app to disable/enable GPRS/EDGE on my HTC S710 WM6 smartphone (I installed it once via the CAB file --> explorer and once with the CABviaActiveSync utility from Paul, but both times I have the same problem).

I have 2 profiles of GPRS defined.

When I run the application, I get the following error :
An unexpected error has occurred in NoData.exe. Select Quit and then restart this program, or select Details for more information.

And when I select Details, it says :
NoData.exe
NotSupportedException
at Microsoft.AGL.Common.MISC.HandleAr()
at System.Windows.Forms.Control._InitInstance()
at System.Windows.Forms.Control.ListControl..ctor()
at System.Windows.Forms.Control.ListBox..ctor()
at Nodata..()

Anybody any ideas what could be the problem ?

Or is it just not working on a WM6 smartphone (I understand it is developed for WM5 PDA phones) ?

Kind regards,
Hager

Hi!

Thanks for the little app!
However, mine too, did not survive a soft reset. The GPRS was automatically enabled again. sad.gif
I'm running WM6 on EtenM700.

EDIT:
The app changed my "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\ConnMgr\Providers \{7C4B7A38-5FF7-4bc1-80F6-5DA7870BB1AA}\Connections\ GPRS\Enabled" to "0"
But it reverts back to "1" upon soft reset, also when IE tried to connect to internet but could not.

So you need to have the settings installed before the program works?


yes.
after updating to WM6 my settings were lost. although its supposed to be st up automaticly, it wasnt, so goto

Start - settings - connections tab - connections - add a new modem connection - then enter the info from there (that your provider supplies)

Rogers settings are:

connection name: whatever you want to call it
select modem: Cellular Line (GPRS, 3G)
Acess point name: internet.com
user name: wepuser1
password: wep


BTW thanks OP for the great App.

I am having the same issue.
When installing it asks for location then keeps the Hrs spiral and will not complete its install.
When I shutdown and restart the icon is there but I get the error.
This is on the Orange network!

Any suggestions

Quick, handy little application i've rustled up as i'm off abroad for a few days soon, and don't want to run up a huge GPRS bill.

It lists your GPRS connections, and allows you to disable them so that they won't be used.

Disable your connections before you leave, re-enable them when you return - piece of cake with MoDaCo NoData tongue.gif

Hey Paul,
Is there a Windows Mobile 6 Version of this tool available?

i installed this tool on my E-TEN X500plus Glofiish (which has WM6) and it worked perfect: ever since i bought this beautifull smartphone i was hindered bij the GPRS: i am using wifi and do not even have a GPRS enabled telephone account, whenever i want to use internet i either use my laptop or the glofiish over wifi. but now without that GPRS it works much faster!! thanks Paul for this software!

PS: i disabled Vodafone normal GPRS, normal WAPC and normal WAPG and enabled normal MMS. I have a rather cheap account on my phone (7 euro/month and 150 minutes free) and that is all i need for the phone. For internet i wanted to use wifi and now that works better than ever. wifi is however eating lots of energy, but i switch wifi off when out of range of a hotspot, and that works fine enough!

I think I had the same problem. My problem was that the my network settings hadn't been configured yet. First use the network wizard to configure your connection(s), then run NoData (when there are no connections to be toggled, you get the error). Works fine on my HTC Touch WM6 now.

In case anyone wants the REALLY quick n simple n dirty VB.net source code for this, here it is.

Requirements are obviously VS 2005, WM5 PPC SDK and the free edition of the inthehand.com libraries (for registry access).

Enjoy wink.gif

Any hope of this working on the Dash in the future? It looks like a wonderful application, it just wont run on my Dash. I've read previous posts, and some users are coming up with the same problem. I assume it's just not Dash-compatible. Looking forward to seeing something like this in the future for the Dash!

Hi guys,

New on this forum. Got here because I was looking for an App which could do exactly this.
Only problem is that I get the same error described above.

I checked and my connections ; -- there, so I don't know what else can be done.
I installed it on a Samsung I620 from Vodafone (Italy).

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Generall seems to work ok for me, disabled everything and then tried things like POP mail retreival and internet browsing and it couldn't as the connections were disabled biggrin.gif

Unfortunately, one of the connections has re-enabled itself overnight on 2 occassions and downloaded my POP mail sad.gif
Still on O2 atm awaiting switch over to Voda
Just taken off my POP email accounts as I think somehow the send/receive schedule is enabling the connection
Will just use the mobile internet sites to view and mail as I'm usually not out and about needing to check them
Have WiFi at home and work and my laptop with me to check and download email

May end up having to get a data bolt on with Voda for £7.50 per month for piece of mind but puts monthly bill up £42.50!!

Any ideas what may be causing this?
