Android :: G1 Constantly Using 3G Or GPRS
Oct 19, 2009
Recently my g1 has started using 3G or GPRS almost constantly, like its auto checking e-mails or somthing.If i disable the 3G option it uses GPRS insted.I have reset the g1 to factory defauts, only APNdroid and ToggleWIFI installed, but it still keeps doing it.(APNdroid was installed so i could turn off ALL 3G/EDGE/GPRS connections)This is slowing down my connection when i do use GPRS/3G/EDGE.Why is this happening ??? and how can i stop it, without using APNdroid?This is a T-Mobile G1, using firmware version 1.5, build number CRC37

I have recently upgraded to the HTC DESIRE on o2, So far all I have seen is the "G" = GPRS, so far I have not seen 3G, E, or the HDPSA or what ever it is :-). Does o2 support anything else but "G" on this handset etc etc, or is my phone faulty ? I live in the UK and so far today I cant even use my internet - O2 have said there are having issues with 3G but didnt say where in the UK or maybe this is Nation Wide ?

I'm a android application developer novice.
I'm try to get latitude and longitude value via android.Location class, but sometime my system can't to get The correct value is lat: 0.00 and lng: 0.00, Perhaps It's return incorrect value because Android detect by GPS only.
Now, I know that location value can detect by GPRS/WIFI, and how do I get It ?

I am currently in China and therefor run a VPN on my PC to connect to the outside world, I would also like to run the same VPN (PPTP) on my android. I can connect via VPN if I am using WiFi but when I try to connect over GPRS/Edge I can't get any connectivity. All web pages load with the standard "web page not available" and apps, eg. the market place, won't connect either. I would have thought that if it was a carrier issue (CMCC) I wouldn't be able to connect to the VPN in the first place. So is this a Android issue, a setup issue or a carrier issue? And can you actuality run a VPN over GPRS om Android?

Is there any app or some thing like that, that I could use it to turn on mobile Internet 2G (EDGE/GPRS) or 3G (UMTS/HSDPA). I now turn off/on mobile Internet with Toggle Data widget, that changes APN type to "-" so it can't work. I am asking this because i use GPS tracker app. And I can turn it on with sms with code: "gps_tracker_start But if i want to report my location I need to be connected to Internet. So I could see my android phone even if it is not connected to internee. So is there any option to turn on mobile Internet remotely?

I just got an x10(android 1.6) , it seems like d phone can automatically access network/gprs whenever it feels like, this may cause a huge bill on me n also drain all battery power within d day, unlike older phone(not that old), gprs will be in use when needed n shutdown when not needed.
The only way to stop all this auto 3G downloading/uploading is to manually disable all the mms feature in the mobile networks or kill all task(kill task appilcation). And if i wanted to use those gprs, again i have to manually turn on all these setting, whereby traditional handphone need not do all these , which i find it more convinient unless subscriber has all the free DATA given.
Hopefully the os/software can be upgraded better to understand a user needs whenever needed and not automatically downloaded data as if noone bizness.

I am planning to give mobile phone development a shot and was thinking about making some simple multiplayer games. I know latency over local wifi is probably fine but what are the issues with latency over GPRS/3G?
I've searched and the best I've seen is someone saying it was 'high', without presenting any concrete numbers. I suppose latency fluctuations are important as well - does anyone have any info on this?

I own an android dual sim phone running on Android 4.0.4
My GPRS was working fine but I dont use it alot since I have WiFi. Now after sometime I wish to use GPRS but its not working.
I have tried to reset the Access Point Settings and ensured that the settings are correct by matching them with a frd's phone. Everything looks fine but the GPRS is not working. What to do?
I have tested it on two different networks to see if the issue is at my network's end but the GPRS didn't work on both.

I am a junior software developer working mostly in c#. I am being tested at work by my boss for a new role as an android sdk developer. I passed the first interview and now he wants me to write a small application which boasts certain simple features such as communication via GPRS service and handling data (i guess he means use a sqlite table to store some input). Anyone got any simple ideas you can throw at me to give me a good starting point.

The service providers in my country are charging for the MBs I downloaded in my GPRS/EDGE connection. So, whenever I want to disable the GPRS, I just change my default APN to something wrong and then correct it when I want to enable it again. I couldn't find another way to enable/disable. I think,Android team assumed that only 3G users with a good data plan only would use this phone. Anyway, I just want to develop an application which can do that automatically for me. However; I couldn't find how to change the APN settings in the docs. but I couldn't find how to use it. Could you please help me? Any alternative ways and/or suggestions are welcome.

I had a program that I got from the Market...I think it was called something Settings. It was a green color "gear" icon.
I think that was the program. It let's you control all of your settings for the most part such as wifi-gps etc...
For the LG EVE where do you go to turn on or off 3G?
I do not have data anymore.
I had a setting where I could turn on and off the 3G GPRS.
I no longer have that feature.
Turning off all the useless crap and using an app killer gets me a solid 2 to 3 days on 1 charge.

I have done the settings for Vodafone(India) but how do i connect to GPRS/EDGE?

I'm getting the desire on pay as you go and while I will use GPRS for apps when out and for browsing, I'd rather not have it on 24/7 draining my wallet. Can the GPRS access be turned on and off when you want it, or is it always on?

Don't know how to start , so here goes. I got my Desire a few days ago and have been slowly playing around with it. Any way whilst messing about on the internet I have noticed that I don't have a "G" "3G" indicator for my connection . I only have a "H".
Which is best...is one better than the other? I had a Nokia E71 and was more or less always connected via "3G".
I haven't changed networks, still with 3.

I don't have a Desire, but will be getting possibly the Desire HD or the next big release here in Europe. Anyway im planning on using a pay as you go plan, so im not going to have 3G. I'll mainly be using wifi.
So i just wanted to know if its possible to download any data using GPRS (i believe its called). Its really slow, but i could use it to check email and whatnot. Does the Desire allow this, or should u be on either wifi or 3G for it to work?

I've had the Desire a few weeks now and I love it. My problem is that when I surf the mobile internet. I am only getting a GPRS signal? i.e., I am only getting the 'G' symbol and the arrows in the notification bar when I am surfing. I've been various parts of the country surfing the internet but never ever seem to be able to get anything other than GPRS? - I keep reading about 3G,EDGE and HSPDA but it just doesn't seem like my Desire will connect to these, just the bog standard GPRS? Any settings I need to change?
Cos I am thinking that my web pages could be loading a lot quicker. Its just annoying because you read that 3G covers most of the UK, yet everywhere I've been going doesn't seem to show anything other than the single 'G' on the notification bar. (One interesting thing to note is that I downloaded the 3G watchdog app and that app shows you a little 3G notification in the upper bar - strangely enough this shows I have a half decent 3G signal, yet whenever I am surfing I am only getting GPRS).

I just heard recently about a friend who was using wifi on his iphone. Somehow it got disconnected, and without him knowing, it automatically connected to GPRS, and the data tariffs cost him a fortune. Apparently, it's something about 'default APN' on iphones.
I was just wondering, is there something similar for us? Perhaps I should post in the support section, but since I use galaxo, I thought maybe asking here would be more helpful. Also, I heard about APNdroid, anyone have any insight there?

All of a sudden, in my notifications area, there is something that is almost always "synchronizing my contacts". This just all of a sudden appeared. I didn't download any app for this, and my contacts don't even appear in gmail.Anyone know what is doing this? I'm always worried about what apps send all my info out. Something seems fishy. The icon that appears on the top left is gray and spins.

I'm a novice Android programmer, and to help me understand how Intents really work, I wanted to put together a small Activity which would let the user call startActivity() with any action and data they want. I tried many different combinations, including "android.intent.action.VIEW" and "http://www.google.com". No matter what combinations I use, I always get an ActivityNotFoundException. Any ideas as to why?
The code in my only Activity is below....
