More than 2 connections and Connection Manager

I'm using an XDA2 with the latest public ROM version from O2.
I have three GPRS connections that I use - the Internet, a work VPN, and WAP.
For day to day work I tend to use just the Internet and work VPN. Sometimes, however, I also use WAP.
Is there an easy way of connecting to WAP WITHOUT having to go into the connection manager and change my Internet settings from the Internet connection to the WAP connection?
Or, is there a better Connection Manager out there that can handle more than 2 connections?
Or, finally, is there a way to detect that a WAP connection is needed, and connect as required?
An alternative would be a program that allows you to, with the click of a button, select the two connections that you want to use (i.e. profile 1 is VPN and WAP and profile 2 is VPN and Internet).
Thanks!

I have exactly the same problem.
Too many operations to change the connection!!!
Someone any ideas?

Same here .. Having the same issue ..
It is inefficient to change the connection through Conn Manager ..
Perhaps can we do it through registry change? i.e. create several registry files, and just click the one we need when we want to connect to certain profile ..
Tried to look through the registry setting for Conn Manager, but it is confusing, they are using so many {436EF144- ....}, {18AD9FBD- ..} thingy
Maybe some expert can help here?
Thanks

Back From The Grave!!!
I was wondering the same thing!
I hate to say it, but the iPhone does wifi much simpler than Windows Mobile -- just flick a software switch and you're on, no changing settings, and no changing back when you go offline.
It's over 10 taps in Windows Mobile to do the same thing! I know there just HAS to be a simpler way to do this!

you can make you life a easier if you create a shortcut of the remnet.exe (inside the windows directory) to the start menu folder
rename "shortcut to remnet" to "connections"

Hello,
i've been searching around the web for a definitive explanation of the communication settings (Wep, Wap, GPRS, Internet, ISP, Wlan, etc.) in WM2006.
I can usually fiddle my way through setting something up, that seems to work...but i never know exactly why or what i did!
Now that i've got the HTC tytnII with built in Wlan this has become even more complicated.
For example, sometimes when i have an active Wlan connection and am surfing the internet, the phone connection pops up and asks me to connect via GPRS (Wap or Wep).
This is something that i've been confused about for some time anyway: how doese the unit know which way it should connect to the internet when i start an application?
IN any case, i've now been searching for a definitive explanation of the various settings contained in WM6.
Is there somewhere a good explanation of how it all works, so that i can understand the various settings?
Thanks in advance for any help....

Same here, I'd also like to know the difference.
For example, right now I seem to be able to configure a specific network connection to use for my Gmail synchronization. However, this ranges from 'The Internet' to 'My Internet', and just don't forget 'Work'.
Having a more profound understanding of these 'networks' and how to properly configure them is vital in this day where devices can also connect to the net using USB/ActiveSync and Wifi.

proxy config APP ?

Anybody know some application that can configure proxy (use ou not) in each connection?
I use proxy for GSM data connection to work remotly (work network), but when connect by WiFi or GPRS I don't use proxy and have to enter configuration connections to disable...
Can I assign proxy settings to each connection?
Thanks

i had the same problem as well, do a search for proxy and you'll find it, also go to start>help and search proxy and it will tell you there.

But, do you know any software that can do it???
I know configure proxy any time but i want an app that can do it for me (in each connection)!
Thanks

Change which network each connection uses (ie work, internet - make more of your own) then each one can have different proxy settings.

Ok, this thread is a little old, but it is close to what I am looking at.
I just got my bill from O2 and I have been charged £1.50 for "GPRS data" although I think it is actually MMS messages being sent or received by GPRS. I am guessing this is because it is set up incorrectly by me.
I did have it set to collect MMS over the "mobile.o2.co.uk" settings (as opposed to the "wap.o2.co.uk" settings) and wifi could be enabled, but if I tried to use the browser without enabling wifi it automatically dialled the GPRS connection.
Could someone give me an idea on how to set it so that
A) MMS messages only count as MMS messages and are sent and received by GPRS.
B) WiFi is the preferred connection for everything else.
C) GPRS is available if WiFi is not available (and preferably after getting confirmation from the user), ie I dont have to find the settings and re-enter them.
I realise this is probably not possible, but any help and/or pointers are appreciated.

[HELP] HD Tweak - Data Not Auto Disconnecting (Orange)

Hay all,
I downloaded the HDTweak last night an set it up to disconnect from a data connection after 1 min.
A mate sent me a picture message which uses Orange Internet / Orange MMS.
Sure enough after 1 mine after it had been recieved an MMS it dissconnected.
But later in the evening I got another MMS I checked an it hadn't disconnected & had been on for 45 mins!
Basic:
1. Is there a better way for this to DEFO disconnect after recieveing an MMS?
2. If left open are there any charges?
3. I've noticed it go from G to H to E during / after it has recieved an MMS would the
change affect it auto disconnetion?
I'm quite new to all this an havin't done any ROM-ing an don't really want to just yet.
Many Thanks

I too am having a similar problem (and new to Win Mobile). I'm on the stock Orange phone, ROM version 1.19.61.1 WWE.
If I use Opera or Email, once I close the application (and I'm making sure its closed and not in background). The data connection stays active (confirmed by checking Comm Manager).
I installed HDTweak and set disconnect to 1 minute, however after leaving it for 30mins the connection was still there.
For such an advanced phone, there must be a way to disconnect the data connection when the applications using it have shutdown?

The data connection will only disconnect if its not being used.
Although u maynot think its being used, apps like Quick GPS, RSS Hub, Manila Weather, Manila Stock have an auto upate option.
If you check the options for these apps and make sure they aint set to auto update then that might help solve the prob.

Personally I use 'No Data' software which gives you the option to 'toggle' either Internet, MMS and WAP on or off.
I mostly surf via wifi and update weather, emails, stock etc via wifi so its a handy piece of software to have as I have Internet & WAP disabled constantly so phone only uses wifi connection I have active.
If you want to use Orange Internet via data connection (GPRS etc) you can 'toggle' internet On, then once you have finished using it, toggle it Off again

Open each app i.e. QuickGPS then click on Menu > Options > and untick 'Auto download when data expires'
For weather & stock tabs, click on each then menu > settings > and make sure auto download is unticked
Follow same procedure for other apps installed

There is a very easy alternative that I use always....Press the end call button once (vibrates once) that is pre assigned to end data connection.
You should see the icon change form 3G/HSPDA to the earth logo and hey presto all offline.

Well, background data is required when you want to access market or want to sync your contacts, calendar, and events with google...if you don't need market, you can disable this option...

If you want to, you can create a dummy APN with no server address. Once you connect to it, the mobile internet will stop connecting.

COuld you teach me how to create? I am abit not sure about this.

Go to Settings>Wireless & Network>Mobile Network>Access Point Names>Menu>New APN.
Now type the Name as 'Off' and type the APN as 'dummy' and save it. When you select that APN, your Mobile internet will turn off.
Cheers.
