Gprs/Edge I want to choose when to use it

[Guest Funky Dj]

I have been looking around the forum for a solution that is straight forward and simple. I do not want my phone to use gprs for anything else then sending MMS due to the cost of data traffic.

I want to be in charge for when the phone uses paid data traffic and free data traffic.

This was not an issue when using my Nokia N80, where the phone was set to ask me everytime wether I wanted to use gprs/Edge connectiong or wifi/wlan.

So my question is simple. Are there an solution for this on the wm6/htc 710 phone?

I want to choose myself! :)

Plz help me..

Because otherwise this "handy" function will cost me a fortune(the seemless change between wifi/gprs/edge)

Same here. My E650 automaticly turns on gprs when browsing or checking email even when im connected to a wifi network, therefore there is no way to know if data is being recieved via wifi or gprs. Dont want a shock when i get my bill.

On my M3100 i was told when gprs was connecting and it never conectted when i had a good wifi signal.

I too would like to know, but for now I just go to the comm manager and turn the phone radio off and turn on the wi-fi, do what I have to do then turn the phone radio back on

Mine is the Orange SPV E650 version, and yes it randomly starts connecting via GPRS despite having a good wireless connection. It also regularly changes its Outlook Schedule to collect email 'As they arrive' (from an exchange server) - I have this set to 'manual' off peak; then the only way I can reset this is to remove the battery and reboot, a restart by itself is not enough.

So, I have emailed HTC support asking for a bug fix, or a GPRS 'off' switch or at least a message that seeks confirmation before connecting. I have also emailed my provider (Orange in my case) asking for the same things and also alerting them to the fact that this is a connection that the equipment they have supplied is making all by itself, and as such is not authorised (by me, the account holder) and therefore I will not be liable for the costs. I suspect that they will threaten to disconnect me and that I will quote various Services and Telecommunications Acts and I'm sure it will probably get messy before they fix the problem(s), however I urge you all to take the same steps and complain in the strongest terms, and threaten to not pay for the random connections that these phones are making.

They will listen in the end if enough of us make a fuss!

I do like the phone, and as such do not want to return it (them, I have several), I just want it to work properly.
