Hallo All,
I recently upgraded my imate PDA2K to windows mobile 5.
now in WM2003 there was this small app, the wireless manager, that allowed me to manually connect or disconnect the different networks (gprs, wifi, etc.)
I can't find this app anymore, I don't know if it was enough to copy a file from the old WM2003 device, so now to connect to, say, gprs, I need to actually DO something (like connecting to messenger etc) and when I'm done with browsing I need to wait until the connection is closed by the system.
is there a way to restore wm2003 behavior? maybe a program?

thanks

i've been wondering the same thing, and it wasn't a program it was party of win2003, you clikc on the gprs icon at the top and it lists your connections and then you can connect manually. Now it doesn't show that there are any networks and askes you to set it up. So my assumsion is that it's a registery thing because there was a key that changed the display on it, and it was a bug in an imate rom that made the red hangup button disconnect gprs, a reg hack fixed that. I just havn't been able to find the keys.

ok thanks...
but then, doesit mean that whenever I connect to gprs I have to wait for the os to turn it off?
looks lie a step back imo

if you hold down the hangup button it will disconnect your gprs, or i can give you the registery hack to add the disconnect button on the G icon bubble.

regedit this

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\Phone]
"Flags2"=dword:00000000 = no button disconect in buble con.
"Flags2"=dword:00000008 = button disconect on buble con.
"Flags2"=dword:00000010 = button disconect and time con. on buble conection (hex)

those are your choices, i always set mine to 10, i like seeing the time and the disconnect button.
