Although I received some tips about this topic in another thread, being them not enough to solve the problem, and being that thread title completely misleading about my issue, I open a new thread to ask:
how can I have my program starting a GPRS connection without asking user intervention? My phone has 2 operator-locked access points, so I can't define a "default" one, and I'm always asked which one I want to use every time a program try accessing internet. Can I override the request in python?

I tried:
import socket #imports the Module
#apid = socket.select_access_point() # Skip user request
ap = socket.access_point(1)
ap.start() # start an GPRS connection
ap.stop()

It does not work: ap.ip() reveals the connection IS active, but upon using it to upload a file (with ftplib.FTP), I get a "(0, 'getaddrinfo failed')" error.

From what I read in the other thread it really seems you have no solution, mate..
ap.start(), <network code>, ap.stop() here in my phone works just fine without setting default AP nor selection dialog showing up..

hi cassioli
sorry for asking this stupid question what sort of connection you are using a WAP or GPRS connection.

Hope you get this question

Actually I don't know, phone is operator locked, so I can't edit or even view settings. I only know there are 2 APN named "3" and "3 MMS" ("3" is for "H3G"). I think the first one is a GPRS connection, as it works with a midlet of mine which requires GPRS connection to work rather than WAP... But it's also the same which works while browsing with internal browser, which maybe is a WAP browser... or not?
Guys, I'm quite confused....

Isn't there any other module apart from socket to check/access connection status?

hi cassioli
as far as i know the error you are getting is due to the wap connection. I suggest you to try with some other operators GPRS connection and i think that will work. Or contact your operator they can explain you about your connection type.
but i am very much sure the error you are getting is due to wap connection.

Hope this will help you
