Android :: Want To Turn On Gprs / Edge Via Sms
Dec 16, 2009
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 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 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?

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.

Just installed Galaxo 1.6.3.4, everything works great, except that gprs/edge capabilities seem to be switched off? They used to work before the root. I can use wifi, but cannot get any data traffic outside wifi areas.

I am unable to use Gtalk, gmail, Maps, Market, Email (all pre installed) using GPRS/EDGE (Vodafone Live) on my Milestone. But All of these works with Wi-Fi connection. I installed Meeboo Messanger, this is also not working with GPRS/EDGE.
I called Motorola Customer care, they are saying that I have to take a DataPlan from Vodafone and should ask Vodafone to activate all GPRS/EDGE settings on my mobile. So I took a DataPlan (200 Rs. 100 MB), Vodafone People are saying that all available setting are already activated on my cell. But I am still unable to use any of them above. Every time no network connection found error is coming.

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'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?

So I'm traveling next week to Mexico and don't want to get all the roaming charges so my question is does turning on WiFi mode turn off 3G and EDGE? Also, what does airplane mode exacly turn off? And is there anyway just to turn off the phone mode? My last Samsung phone was a smart phone and I had the option to just turn the phone off and not everything else.

I just got my HTC Magic yesterday and I was meddling around with it for awhile and I realized, when you receive text messages there are no vibration? Is it possible to make the phone vibrate when there are new text messages? And also, is it possible to turn of GPRS so that I wont accidentally connect to the internet with it?

I bought my new Samsung Galaxy S phone 3 weeks back. I am quite satisfied with it, but i have quite an irritating problem, my GPRS keeps on going back every now and then, like once every 2 minutes and then i have to turn the Flight mode on/off to bring it back. It might not be a problem in countries where 3G is available but here in India it's quite unsettling to see such a nuance in such a wonderful OS. I know it's not a problem with the carrier(Vodafone for me) as nokia phones work seamlessly in the same area.

Last week I was in the US and had gotten the AT&T pay-as-you-go sim. It charges 1c/kb and I thought that's not too bad since I *only* get outlook and yahoo email. Well, *before* I knew it, it sucked up $14.40 for internet access....Frantically called AT&T customer service and after a long wait, they told me that my device had access the service and downloaded 1.5Mb! I asked them if there was a way to turn off the GPRS(since I was mostly interested in their $2/day unlimited calling service) and they said they don't have a way to turn it off Tried a bunch of things like turning off auto-sync (in settings) etc...but STILL I ended up paying $40 by the end of the day!!
Is their a way to turn off GPRS completely and also monitor what applications are accessing the service? All I have to go by is what AT&T says at the website!

Is there a way to toggle or even an app to use edge only? I have the HTC Aria, and can't seem to be able to select network. It's greyed out, and not sure why. It's my first android.

I stumbled upon this article yesterday:
Hacker Spoofs Cell Phone Tower to Intercept Calls | Threat Level | Wired.com
I realize that there is a relatively small number of people who would actually try to do such a thing to intercept calls (and potentially data at some point with some tweaks), but assuming that this can easily be done and such, how big of a deal is this really? I'm not too well-versed when it comes to cell phone communications technology, so I'm just curious if anyone here can offer any opinions as far as just how vulnerable this leaves those of us on networks that use GSM like AT&T and T-Mobile. The article mentions that the hacker was only really able to make it work on 2G. Does that mean we're okay as long as our phones show we're on EDGE or 3G?

I was going to setup push email with my Edge connection (live in Pakistan, only connection available) Was going to do my APN settings. But came across a post which said that some apps required only edge but that some of them needed WiFi or 3G as well. So i was wondering, Does g mail app/ goggle Sync need Wifi/3G or am i good with just edge network Internet?

I am new to this forum and I would like to throw out this question and hopefully someone can point me in the right direction. I am developing an Android application and I would like to setup a tcp/ip type of connection between two Android phones using the 3G/Edge network. My test version will establish a connection if I have both phones on a lan using wifi but when I use T-Mobile's network a connection is not established. Could this issue be a port or ip address?

As part of an application that I'm developing for Android I'd like to show the user an edge-detected version of an image they have taken (something similar to the example below).To achieve this I've been looking at the Sobel operator and how to implement it in Java. However, many of the examples that I've found make use of objects and methods found in AWT (like this example) that isn't part of Android.My question is then really, does Android provide any alternatives to the features of AWT that have been used in the above example? If we were to rewrite that example just using the libraries built into Android, how would we go about it?

I have an Android scrollview with a white background. The fading edge is a white translucent gradient. I would like to change it be black instead of white. I have a ListView in the same project with a white background that has a black fading edge by default, but I can't find where (if anywhere) that was set.

i have a listview with a very white layout. Thus I wish the fading edge was black, instead of white as it is right now. How can I change this? As far as I can see it cant be done in xml.

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 trying to write an app that requires different PDF files to be opened and displayed on the E-Reader side of the eDGe's dual screens while the app is running on the LCD side. I've been using Better Terminal Emulator to cruise around the eDGe's file system but can't seem to find the command that opens PDF files. Does anyone know it or is there even one?

This is crazy but I have certain apps that will only work on 3G it must be my network (O2 in Ireland) as this was the same with my last handset the samsung i 8910. my question is whether it's possible to set the Desire to only use 3G (and not lock onto an "Edge only" reception) I live close to 2 cell towers - one is EDGE only and it's slightly nearer and the signal is stronger - with the samsung I could tell it to only use 3G I don't see anything like this on the Desire menu - anyone seen anything like this.

I seen on a thread that u can change your data network buy dialing #*#*4636*#*#.This evo 4g is always on 3g network but never goes to edge.Can I put the phone on gsm only and not have to worry about 3g coming on. Im asking because 3g runs down your battery faster than edge. I put it on gsm only but the 3g symbol still showing that its receiving 3g data. I know on the hd 2 you can turn it of thus saving a lot of battery life.
