When I look at the list of connected networks, I see these:

T-Mobile GPRS (GPRS)
[my wifi] (Wi-Fi)

The wifi connection is set as "connects to: The Internet".

Sometimes when I go to check email, it'll connect to GPRS even though I have a wifi connection. Why doesn't it use the wifi? How can I force it to use wifi instead of GPRS?


t-mobile with the 2.17 ROM, 2.07 radio.

Assuming you will never want to use GPRS....if so, write down the settings

Go to Start>Connections>Connections>Delete GPRS

At least that's what I think I did

Make sure that both your wireless lan card and wireless connection are set to connet to the internet. I had my phone wifi set as connecting to "the internet" but when I clicked on my home wireless connection in the list of available access points it was set to connect to "work". Hopes this helps.
