Guest kc1 Posted January 19, 2006 Report Share Posted January 19, 2006 Hi Can anyone think of a way to create a shortcut to create a *simple* (i.e. as few clicks/steps as possible) way to turn GPRS on and off as the current method for accessing the web/emails? My SP5 doesn't reliably switch off GPRS when Wifi is on, causing unnecessarily high phone bills from the lovely t-mobile uk. The people over at the SP5 forum haven't come up with anything so I'm wondering if the clever people over here ;) can think of a way to construst a simple shortcut/script/toggle application that can switch the relevant WM5 registry settings to enable/disable GPRS? Kam_ suggested a workaround by switching the GPRS profile "Connects to" setting between "Internet" and a unassigned setting e.g. "Work" in my case. Even so, that's still 13 clicks Basically, it's start> settings > connections > GPRS > 1 (T-Mobile Internet) > [right arrow 3 times] > Done > Done > Done > Done , then back to messaging :cry: And then back again to switch back For email its a whopping 16 clicks each way : Select email account > menu > options > Account Options > Select email account (again :roll:) > Next > Next > [right arrow 3 times to select the connection] > Next > Next > Next > Finish > Done > Done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest tsutton Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 Your phone may be different, but on my C500, I just hold down the Home button and from there, pressed #1 to disconnect from GPRS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you mean "doesnt reapear" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't get it to do anything. When this works for you, does it disable GPRS until you re-enable it, or do you mean it just kills an active GPRS data exchange until the next time the phone is due to sync with email?

Guest ERN1824 Posted February 11, 2006 Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 This works for me on my SP5: Using a Registry Editor, go to HKEY_LOCAL-MACHINE / DRIVERS / BUILTIN / RIL select GPRSAutoDetach and change the value from 0 to 1. After you finish checking messages or surfing the Net, press "end Call" twice and the GPRS will disconnect. ***disclaimer - do this at your own risk*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest conan_troutman Posted May 29, 2006 Report Share Posted May 29, 2006 tried the reg edit didn't work on my Qtek 8310 how ever you can hit comm manager button then close gprs how ever you have to then reboot phone for it to reconnect again later. i would only disable it if it costs you money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Casao Posted May 30, 2006 Report Share Posted May 30, 2006 I think this would be a fairly simple program to write, just an on-run that edits the registry when run. Unfortunately, I have no experience with mobile programing, so I can't help, but that's a way to go, if you wanna take a bit and look into it, or find someone else who knows more.
