View Full Version : Some apps won't use data connection?

I'm having a problem with several applications, and I'm not sure if its problem with how they were written, or if the problem is in my WM6.

I leave my phone connected to my computer all day long. When I first started doing this, I quickly realized that it was using my computer's internet connection via ActiveSync instead of my phone's data connection. I didn't want this, and I found the option to tell ActiveSync "This computer is connected to my Work Network". After that, Pocket IE and IM+ (the two apps I use the most) started using my data connection and everything was good.

Then I started getting more apps, for example, TCPMP and Palringo. When I am connected to my computer via ActiveSync, these apps still try to use that connection instead of my data plan. The big problem here is that my work's firewall blocks things like IM and streaming media, so these apps don't work at all.

If I disconnect from ActiveSync and start up TCPMP and Palringo first, then they work just fine. It seems to stick with the phone's data connection once its established.

So, is this a problem where those programs are picking the wrong network adapter? Or is this some issue from running WM6 on my MDA? Maybe even something that's been fixed in a more recent WM6 rom? :)

Any help would be greatly appreciated! I have:
