Quick way to switch "Internet profiles"?
 

Hi there, this might be just a case of me missing the obvious but here goes.

I use two forms of data connection on my P4000... the Telus data network and my own private WiFi. I find that switching between these two settings (telling the phone where to find the internet) is a pain. Currently I have to go:

Settings, Connections Tab, Connections Icon, Advanced Tab, Select Networks, then choose either "Telus" or "My ISP" from the drop down.

I was wondering if there is a profile switcher available to toggle between multiple settings quickly? Something like the Comm Manager.

Thanks!

i just wrote a mortscript to disconnect and disable/enable and connect my cellular connection and bound it to a button. if i want to use wifi i hold the button to force cellular data off, and the ppc uses wifi for everything (including AS!)

Here is what I did to fix it.

Start>Settings>Connections tab... Connections. Under "My Work Network" add a new modem connection to your cell provider. I dont know what your providers settings will be but I just copied the info from the "My Isp" settings for "My Connection".

Now when I am connected via wifi, the cellular data connection does not even try to connect. If I shut off the wifi, the cellular modem dials in and connects.

Now I am going to go poke around and find the reg hack for auto disconnect evdo after 1 minute to save batt life.

I hope this helps someone.

i dont know much about the 4000 but...

on the titan i have an external wifi on/off switch. when i want to go from cellular data connection to wifi. all i have to do is slide on my wifi card switch. then to disable the cellular data connection i hold the red end button for 5-8 seconds.

when i want to go back to cellular data from wifi. i just turn off the wifi card and run which ever program i want to use on the cellular network. it will automatically initiate the connectio, (ie "dialing #777)

that will do it for ya.

all new outbound connections should automatically go out over wifi if wifi is enabled. no need to disconnect data service....

good to know cause my email checks every 30 mins and very much disliked disabling my data con.

everybody gets a big thanks. I needed all this info, (or reminded of some specifics...) :cheers:=D>

I've been wanting to to add bluetooth to the top of the priority for internet (save pwr over wifi) to connect my unactivated devices, and I have it set up to do this, but now I think I can make the entire process allot more painless. and automatic as once again I'm reminded I need to take time to learn more scripts.

DCD.. care to share some commands?
