HTC Desire : Can Turn Off GPRS Access

Jul 24, 2010

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?

LG Eve : Turn On/off 3G GPRS Setting

Oct 15, 2010

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.

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?

Android : Auto 3G - Gprs - Access

Apr 30, 2010

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.

Samsung Galaxy S : GPRS Keeps On Going Back - Turn The Flight Mode On/off

Sep 2, 2010

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.

Samsung Galaxy S :: Understanding GPRS Settings (New Access Point)

Oct 5, 2010

I recently got a new SIM card (same provider, Telkomsel, but for a different area code in Indonesia). The settings are supposed to be automatic, and I do indeed have a "Telkomsel GPRS" under "Mobile networks" > "Access Point Names". The 3G on the old SIM worked pretty well, without having to do anything, but this one gets only rare and short-lived connections to the net. I've rung up Telkomsel a few times now, and they're supposed to be fixing it soon, but it's a few days and I'm getting impatient. One of the help line people suggested manually entering a new access point, but the info he gave me was a bit confusing.

Samsung Galaxy S :: Re-enabling GPRS - Can't Switch 3G Access Back On

Oct 24, 2010

When I first bought my Samsung Galaxy S, I shut down everything 3G related as my internet bundle didn't kick in until this week. Now I can't seem to switch 3G access back on. I've downloaded APNdroid, but I've clearly left something crucial switched off as 3G still not working. The instruction manual isn't very useful.

Samsung Galaxy S : Turn Off GPRS Completely And Also Monitor What Applications Are Accessing The Service

Nov 14, 2010

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!

HTC Desire : No GPRS/3G - Don't Have A Indicator For My Connection

Jun 19, 2010

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.

Android :: Connectivity On Android / No Access Points For 3G Or GPRS

May 5, 2010

I have a couple of questions about connectivity on Android, if anyone has any insight it would be great. What is the default when an application wants to wirelessly connect? Is it WLan? And if WLan is switched off or there is no access points around is it 3G or GPRS? Is a device always ip connected? Or when its disabled from WLan or 3G does it's lose its IP address?

Is an application, for example the browser only ever connected to one IP address? Or can it be connected to multiple addresses for each radio such as GPRS or WiFi (WLan)? Can an application decide which connection to open a socket to? For example can I create an application and decide whether to connect the socket to the WLan or GPRS? Or does the OS decide? Finally how do native applications handle connectivity? In the same manner?

HTC Desire :: Only Getting GPRS Signals When Surfing Internet

Aug 7, 2010

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).

HTC Desire :: Calls Going Straight To Voicemail / Not Sure About GPRS Data Usage

Jul 27, 2010

There have been numerous times when people have tried to phone me and it's gone straight to voicemail. I know when using GPRS you can't use voice and data at the same time but I can't figure out what's using the data stream. I only have the weather application which updates every 3 hours but even when it's not due an update this issue has occurred. Can anyone suggest how to figure out what's using data? The only fix I can think of is to turn off Internet while in a GPRS area assuming the problem is a clash of data / voice.

So I use the task killer...and at the moment say when I kill tasks it'll tell me there is about 200M avaliable memory free...if I use the phone for a day it'll maybe go down to 150M even if I am still killing apps and there is nothing in 'running services'.
