manually connecting and disconnecting gprs connection on spv

[Guest Benzyg]

Hi,

I can't understand how to operate the spv so that I can connect and

disconnect my GPRS data connection ,manually.

As for now, I am running the internet browser and it is establishing the

connection.

How can I control the connect/disconnecting to the GPRS connection?

Thanks

It'll connect whenever you use any GPRS app. The only exception is when trying to "automatically" register All-Explorer it doesn't get it right and if you've connected by using something else first it works...

To disconnect press the hangup key, otherwise it'll disconnect at some stage when it feels like it (timeout?)

I find the dropping of the connection between webpages annoying - i always sign in to MSN before a long browsing session - the time taken to sign in is worth it cos the GPRS stays connected instead of hangging up between links!!!

I think the mail checker creates a new connection when it does its thing. Which requires it to disconnect when its done...maybe. Weird and anooying one, roll on 3G

I had the same problem, but solved it by changing one of the settings.

Goto Settings - Data Connections.

Click the Menu softkey and change the value under Idle disconnect after to 10minutes. Note that the value None does not refer to Never, but actually disconnects as soon as no data is being sent or received.

I was on a site that spoke about how I could surf GPRS for free, if I piggybacked my internet connection on my PC using the SPV in the cradle. Now I cant get MSN or IE to work on my SPV. Help me to return settings to ones that actually work!!

"Automatic" doesn't work once you remove your SPV from the cradle, which is a pain.

Under data connections, you want to select "The Internet" under GPRS connection if you want to use passthough to access the internet from your PC's connection. You then need to change this back to "Orange GPRS" once you reomove it from the cradle for normal GPRS to work correctly

Automatic does work once you remove the SPV from the cradle, if you change the ORANGE WAP connection to connect to WAP instead of the internet - otherwise it tries to use the WAP connection to conect to the internet - and fails.

I've no idea if this breaks WAP (probably) but that doen't bother me too much, as the only useful service on wap for me is the "Where's my nearest" service - which does not work on the SPV ;)

Ta, never thought to look for configuration options in data connections ;)

"Where is my nearest?" should work if Circuit Switched WAP is used, but will not over GPRS.
