Connect through WiFi or 3G

---

Hai.

First of all I'm very happy with my HTC Touch Pro UK. Before this I used a TyTN II, also a very nice device.

With the Touch pro a have a little problem when retrieving email through IMAP. On the TyTN II the email was retrieved through WiFi if there was a WiFi connection and through 3G when there wasn't.

For Outlook (ActiveSync) on the Touch Pro this works fine, but for IMAP connections, it only wants to connect through 3G, whatever I set in the Advanced Server Settings of the IMAP account. When I choose Vodafone GPRS it connects through 3G, also when there is a WiFi connection active.

Can this behaviour be altered ?

Hope anybody has a solution for this.

I wasn't aware that this was a ROM issue. On the TyTN II it was working with the default ROM. I hoped it was just a setting somewhere...

I'll wait for some more tweaks or a new ROM..

I've got the same problem with hotmail using windows live. It always connects via GPRS rather than use the available WiFi. I have found that if the wifi is turned on before soft resetting the device - ie it then starts up with wifi on, i can sync via the wifi connection until the wifi connection is turned off and then it always defaults back to GPRS.

Hmm, I would advise (since i havent got a device here yet to test...will do tomorrow) that you go through the wifi settings and make sure it is set to access "the internet" and not "workplace" or anything else??

Helping out would be so much easier if it was sat right infornt of me...will be soon

I can wait 'till tomorrow.. No problem.. ;)

Already done that and selected Internet under Wifi. All other programs connect correctly to WiFi ie, Opera Mobile, Opera Mini, GPS Update etc.... its just email that gets it wrong.

Tried the same and results are also the same.

Did anybody find a fix for this ?

Do a search for Modaco nodata. It should allow you to disable the regular 3G data connection, which should (hopefully) force the phone to use wlan if you have a working connection.
