E71: default access point

New E71 user here. Recently got Nokia's email app (Big @ icon in Installations) and it's nice. I have it set-up to use my router as an access point when in and around my home (router: airport) but when I go out of range of the router the access point switches to 'default'.
Is there anyway to tell it what default should be? I'd like it to be 't-mobile internet'.
I know this may be an old issue, but not sure if it has been resolved.
Best regards,
Craig

Sorry to ressurrect an old thread, but this has been driving me crazy and I have found the easiest solution and thought it belonged on the Nokia forums (especially seeing as it is the top hit in google search).
You can select your access point at any time by going to "web" (it should be in your menu for web browsing). Press Options->Settings->General->Access point. Here you can do 2 things:
1) Choose between "User defined" and "always ask"
2) By choosing user defined, you have the option to select any access point from your list to be the default
This will be for all apps that want to use your e71 to connect through access points. I have no idea why this option is nowhere to be found in the access point settings, but the option does exist

E63 Default ACCESS point

Have an old 3 handset which I'm now using for Vodafone but I can't seem to connect via Vodafone - it keeps trying to access 3. Can't delete 3 as it is locked. Have added new vodafone access point with relevant settings but can't figure out how to make it default / ovefrride 3. Any suggestions?

You'll need a Packet-data connection supported by your provider. Your provider might not allow streaming over their net. Unless you have a unlimited data plan, it's gonna cost you a lot of money. Use WLAN instead.

6120c - default access point and setting applicati...

Does anyone know how to set the default access point on the 6120, for all apps? And how to allow apps to access the internet without asking? The default browser is ok but everything else (Opera Mini, Gmail, Google Maps etc) asks for permission, then an access point. I figured it out on my N73 but can't get it on the 6120.

Thanks for the reply. I've looked in App Manager but the only context-sensitive stuff for each app is 'details' which is just the vendor and certificate, and 'settings' which is 'Software Installation', Online Certificate Check' and 'Default Web Address'.
Doh! Just got it - choosing 'open' doesn't start the app, it gives me the options I need. Problem solved!

E61i worldmate problems and default access point

I cannot get Worldmate to connect without error. Worldmate support tell me to ensure that the "device default access point" is correct. However, I have not been able to find a global default access point setting anywhere, including the help doc!
Once into worldmate, you can apparently change your access point, but the first time it looks for a global default. So I cant even get in!
My phone is working fine with GPRS and WLAN, as long as the application allows me to select the access point.
Perhaps this is a change between e61 and e61i?
Anybody have the same problem?

Both WorldMate and GolfPro2 workd when I first installed them. Now when I try to open them nothing happens.
I redownloaded WorldMate and re-installed, then both worked. After shutting down, neither work again.
How do you resolve this? Is it based on the access point?
Glenn
The exact same thing happens to me when I install other programs, like Nokia Maps or 3D pool. When I install them and reboot, both worldmate and the new installed program doesn't work. This doesn't happen with other programs that I've installed so far, like Gmail or google maps.

Nokia N73 'Define Default Access Point First'

Trying to use Youtube... and this comes up when it goes to connect to server... any help appreciated!
Thanks
Gaz

As it says, you have to define your default access point, be it 3G, GPRS or WIFI. Are you using WIFI(your home if you have one) or the public access points?
Knowledge not shared is knowledge wasted!
If you find it helpfull, it's not hard to click the STAR..

Changing default access point

At work the iPhone defaults to connecting to the corporate access point. I manually change to the guest network. How do I change the default access point to the guest network instead of connecting to the SSID of the corporate access point each day?

If you have Ask to Join Networks off, the iPhone will automatically rejoin the known network that it connected to last.
There isn't a priority list for Wi-Fi networks, but you can make the iPhone forget the network that you dont want it to join. Just tap Settings> Wi-Fi> the chevron next to the network you don't want it to join> Forget this Network.
WTH.

E71 Different Access Points for different modes?

Hi
I have just got the E71 and think it's a really good phone. I have a question about the two different modes that the E71 can switch from and to.
I would like to be able to have a "Home Mode" and an "Away Mode".
The Home Mode would use a default WLAN connection for web and push email.
The Away Mode would use a mobile web connection from my mobile provider for web browsing and push email etc.
Is this possible at all?
I have tried changing the incoming mail connection setting on one of the modes but when I switch to the other mode the incoming mail settings are what was set in the previous mode.
Hope that made sense?
Thanks in advance

I've the same question !

Nokia email - access point

I have an N96 with S60 r3 fp2. It supports "destinations" (ie access point groups) as well as the concept of a "default" access point (group).
Only "new" apps use these capabilities. The internal imap client seems to be ok with default, but "nokia messaging" is not and will only allow a specific AP to be selected.
Since I have trouble with 3G/GSM at work I roam onto WIFI for other apps. NOkia messaging needs to do the same.
Ideas?

This works for the E71: for the time being a workaround for the access point problem:
I set my SmartConnect connection (you can only download this from the Download icon on your phone) group as the default APN, I have the client using Wifi if available and the cellular network if not. This MUST be configured at initial setup, ie when you install Nokia Messaging, change it from "default" to the SmartConnect access point group.

Access point problem

I installed a MIDlet in my nokia 6600. When application tries to open an Http connection I have to select the access point. In my mobile I have set my default access point. Still it asks me to select access point everytime. How can I make the access point selection automatic? Can somebody please help me?
Regards to everyone.

2.2mb of free space seems to be more than enough for you to create a new access point, hmm.. strange.
Would you want to try freeing some memory space by moving gallery items from the phone memory to the memory card? If it still don't work, restoring of factory settings might work but all data will be lost if you choose to restore all. The last resort would be to have a software reflashing which can be done either via the NSU or at the service point.

Access point selection

Hi guys,
I have a unsigned midlet installed in nokia 6600. This midlet opens an http connection and it asks for permission before connecting. I understand this can be solved if I sign my midlet with a trusted certificate. But phone also asks to select Access Point. I want it to be automatic. Will this problem be solved if I sign my midlet? If not what else I should do? I don't find any default access point option in the phone. Please help me.
Thanks
jmguy

think the addition of the "destinations" support in S60 wasn't thought out well enough in terms of compatability either.
There's multiple 3rd party applications that create virtual access points for VPN connections or to better support connection roaming, that appear to existing applications as just another access point, yet when this capability was added into the OS it was done in such a way that existing apps could not use it.
#fail IMO.

How can I monitor the active access point + data c...

My privider (o2 Germany) requires me to use different access points (APN, proxy) on my phone (N80) depending on the type of browsing I want do do (WAP vs. "normal" access), and each of them has a "high cost trap" if I use the wrong one for the particular service.
Very annoying - up to the point that I consider not using the phone for online access at all because I'm so scared to run into uncontrollably high fees.
Anyways. I wonder if there is add-on software for my phone that helps me monitor my data connection, i.e.:
* show me the currently used access point at the top of the display (yes, I know I can go into some deep menus to look it up, but that's not very helpful or even easy to use)
* automatically disconnect when the conn is idle for a while (One of the data modes is time-based, meaning I do not want to have it open all the time by accident)
Currently, all I can see at the top of the display is that I have a data connection at all, but that does not give me enough information to know I'm in the right mode for what I'm doing.
Thomas

You can force a disconnect by pressing the red/hangup key for a couple of seconds when the phone is in the standby state.
And in menu > Tools > Settings > Connection > Packet data change the setting "Packet data conn." to "When needed" and leave the "Access point" setting there to "None".
When you or apps on your phone are not doing any data transfer, then regardless of whether it is a WAP or "full" Internet packet data connection, you should not cumulate any charges.
You can also move the Connection Manager app from the Tools submenu to the main menu, or even to the Active standby apps list (or the softkeys) for quicker access. No need to deep dive into menus for it then.
And for individual apps, you can usually set the default access point to whatever is best to use for that particular app. For the browsers ("Web" and "Services") you can also make them ask you to pick the access point every time you connect.

Setting the Maps Access Point

I just found something quite weird when using Maps on my N82.
If I set the default access point to a configured WLAN and I set 'Go Online at Startup' to no, or if the WLAN is not available, then when I go and select 'Tools/Go Online' it automatically changes the default access point to the mobile providers on air internet access point.
So since I have downloaded all the maps for my area I was planning to leave the internet access off mostly, but should I come to turn it on, it will completely ignore the WLAN default setting and go straight to the mobile network therefore costing me money, and not only, it will change the default to this and leave it like that for next time.
Is there anyway to prevent this behaviour?
And ideally in general, is there any way to congure a set of access points to try in order e.g. try my home WLAN first, my work WLAN second and then the mobile network third? As far as I am concerned once it has asked me if it can go online I don't want to have to select the access point each time, I would rather it attempts a WLAN if possible and then if not goes mobile all without asking me.
Any thoughts appreciated.

I'm kinda in the same situtation, anyway I think it just follows the access points priority on the phone. I was able to use wi-fi in the offline mode (of the mobile)!
