Stop Automatic Data Connection on a Windows Mobile 6.5
Posted by Jules in Smartphone PDA MDA, Technology on December 27th, 2009
If you have used the software utility ‘No Data’ before Windows Mobile 6.5, and found that the brilliant and small piece of software does not work on the latest version of Windows, then don’t despair, here’s what you can do:
1) download CeRegistryEditor;
2) install on your PC;
3) connect you PPC via ActiveSync ;
4) go to the registry key ‘HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\ConnMgr\Providers’
5) find the key name ‘WakeOnIncoming’ and change ‘Data’ to ‘0’ from multiple value (GPRS and/or CSD );
6) go to the registry key ‘HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\ConnMgr\Planner\Settings’
7) find the key name ‘SuspendResume’ and change ‘Data’ to ‘0’ from multiple value (~GPRS! and/or ~CSD! );
8) Done!
That should now stop your PDA/MDA from switching to GPRS when you don’t want it to.
Notes: you will not be able to use GPRS unless you specify select it in communication manager!
Stop Automatic Data Connection on a Windows Mobile
Have you ever notices how the twin arrows on you Windows mobile comes on for no apparent reason know to you, and costing you money?
It may well be triggered by that weather program that gives you live forecasts and was used a lot when you first got your personal digital assistant (PDA) /xda. If like me you have the use of your existing Wi-Fi connection at home or at work that you can use at no extra costs to you, but find that when the Wi-Fi connection is dropped your GPRS or another costly connection source is automatically used and that’s unbeknown to you until you check your bill.
Well, the solution is to install the No Data Utility on your PDA, and you can disable all data connections, but you must (I think!) have the program running in the background (maybe not but I don’t want to risk more of my lunch money on testing). Email me for further details!
