Turn off GPRS

Anyone know how to turn the GPRS off so that it never comes on?

What you need is this ......... creates an icon called No Data, with it you can toggle on and off your GPRS, I've been using for a while and it is excellent, stops GPRS connections altogether until you want it...
Activesync it somewhere on your orbit and then click on it within File Explorer

Ah! Stew! Saviour! A million thanks... exactly what I was looking for...

Why?
Hi
Why turn GPS totally off? does it use more battery when your not using it?
MicTh

Hi there MicTh...
I'm with O2 and their data tarrifs are somewhat expensive.
I use wifi a lot so don't need GPRS. There has been the odd occasion where I've lost wifi signal and the phone started connecting with GPRS...
The above program put a stop to this!

thanks i have also been looking for app like this

This can be done easily by:
Settings->Connections->Connections->Advanced->Select Networks->(in the first ComboBox) select "My Work Network" and click OK

No GPRS does it much simpler, simply toggling between on and off....GPRS can sometimes connect on demand, the phones demand not yours when receiving messages or when Quick GOS has become outdated, NO GPRS is the simplest solution I've found.......

Thanks - I've installed this - one question
I have disabled Mobile Web and O2 Active
Will I still receive MMS messages ???

No, MMS is sent and received over O2 Active which is WAP.

where do i copy files to
im new to orbit could you tell me where i place the files please

Copy it to you memory card and run the program. It will install itself.

thanks
thanks for your help ive got it sorted

now ive installed it and i click on the nodata icon it shows gprs as deactivated but if im usin wifii it says connecting to gprs is that normal or have i done something wrong.
also if it says connecting to gprs while nodata is installed does it still run up the bill,orbit is all new to me so im still trying to find my way around it im used to normal phone.

Hi,
just a question on this wifi-gprs. Is there a way to include a priority on one of the two?
I would like my phone to connect through wifi is it finds free or known connections, otherwise it should use wifi.
Anybody know of a setting to get this done?
Patrick

I have a Hermes and I can stop my GPRS connection instantly.
Please try this (also on other HTC models)...
When you still have a GPRS connection press and hold down the hangup button for 3 to 6 secs. (the red phone you use the end a phonecall) until the little GPRS icon disappears.
GPRS as a service will stay available.

Hi.
I'm sorry but I am having a noobie moment.
I have transferred the 3 NOGPRS files into My Music (cos I couldn't think of anywhere else to put it) and clicked on the "setup" file which opens revealing lines of code. But that's it, how do I install it? Where do I find the icon?
Sorry, this might seem basic to you but it is very complicated and difficult to understand for me.

u went one step too far.
just extract the NOGPRS.cab to your device,
then take your device and click on the .cab file!

Issue installing skype

hello. I am having an issue installing skype on my smartphone. It currently has the Rogers ROM on it (yes, I changed it again )... Active Sync gets it on the phone alright, but the issue is when it starts to install on the phone, it comes up with a notice that I have insufficient privileges to continue. I have already tried the Application unlocked, but that just tells me that my phone is not unlockable.
I search around and found that the issue may be that the installer is trying to set some registry keys that it is not supposed to and to alter the .cab file. But I cant find the .cab file on my phone anywhere, so I dont know how i can go about modifying it. The PC-side installer is just an .exe file.
I also soft-restarted my phone to clear memery, so that is not an issue eaither.
Can anybody lend some insight to this issue?
thanks

have you tried this???

The one in that total smartphone makeover thread.
Wait - are you using total commander on the phone itself? Thats what im doing. I am using XP, but when I install total commander I cannot figure out how to browse my phone with it... I googled the hell out of it, but there is no option i can see that allows me to use the phone...
Is there any insight into this issue?
thanks

I bet youve seen it before, its quite slick.
Thanks for all your help, its really appreciated. Its crazy how I can call myself very computer literate (I work as a web/app/game developer, computer repair person and computer builder), yet I'm always learning/screwing things up/figuring things out/asking for help every day! However it always feels nice to stumble on a forum where the people know what the hell they are talking about.

yeah, the folks here know there stuff.. lots of new things to learn for me too!!
id like to get skype working on my phone... let me know if you get it going... shoot me a PM.

Welcome to the forums, kaponya
If u are using the same rogers rom, all u need to do is to download the cab file in that thread, copy it into your phone using activesync or bluetooth, and then just click on it, which will execute the program, and you might be asked to restart the phone for full effect.
Cheers

Well, since a new user has bumped the skype thread, has anyone been able to direct the sound thru the earpiece, and not the external speaker, in a satisfactory way yet?

Nope, I believe that it can only be done through the speaker... I was messing around with it and I could not get it to do it through the earpiece... maybe someone knows how to do it but I tried and no success.

IE Issues after WM6.1 upgrade

Hi, I upgraded to WM6.1 over the weekend, everything looks pretty cool.. But IE can not get on the internet anymore.
I'm able to check the email okay but IE reports the following error
HTTP ERROR $CODE$
I see the Edge (E) come up when I launch the IE so that means IE is trying to open the connection but does not bring anything back.
Someone please help

That is the same error I get.

I scanned pretty much all related thread did not find anything yet...

Hi, Newbs. When you flashed your phone did you use the "Sticky: The Guide for UPGRADING WM 6 to 6.1 with PICS and LINKS" I'm pretty sure you both skipped a step naughty naughty....
Well if you go to the Sticky and look at post #3 and run your connection setup like you were suppose too, we wouldn't be having this conversation . It honestly should be that simple.
Good Luck

Internet Explorer not working?
I've been able to figure out every other problem with my IE, but now this one has stumped me, and i need help.
i'm using Wifi, and for some reason i cant go to any websites. even a site such as google wont work.
I get an error that says "The page cannot be found. Check the name and try again."
and i know for a fact that im not typing in "http://www.google.com" wrong. its not a hard one.
its not my connection. im sitting right next to my wireless modem and router and my computer is working fine. in the Comm Manager i have full Wifi service.
There was at one point when i a site to work, but then IE went back to the IE homepage on its own and wouldnt work again.
SOOO pleaseee, if anybody can help, please do
Thanks guys =]

Not sure if this will help but...
I have found that if I switch networks from my "E" data plan to my home WIFI, or vice-versa, I have to quite IE (press the pink tmobile button and select "close" for IE) then restart it and viola it works. I seem to have to do this anytime I was using IE on one network and then connect to another without my phone being turned off at anytime in between.
Hope that helps.

If you are running Ricky's v24:
Start > Accessories > Connection Setup
Run the Connection setup, select United States and T-Mobile. I think that you'll need a reboot after the settings update.

That's exactamundo correcto. Trust this man. He is dead on.

having the same problem and after running the connection set up again still getting the "http error $code$ $message$ requestURI=/"
I'm on the 5.99 t-zones. the really weird thing is right after the flash it was working then tried it about 30 min later and nothing. I've tried about 4 different variations of manual settings I can find. Any help?

I'm having the same problem with internet after upgrading to 6.1. Yes I have ran the connection setup and let it reboot, tried it twice with no luck. Txt messages still work, just doesn't seem to access any internet sites. I'm using the 19.99 plan and running Kavana's 6.1 080408 final. I have also tried using the manual settings provided by Tmobile
Any ideas?

does your MMS work?
if not call t-mobile to reenter you into their network. 5 minute call.

do the connection setup then do the tzones hack it worked fine for me and this is the second dash after my first one went out. Not one problem installing anything use search I dont post must as u see but I have done plenty of mods on thru this site without asking questions all the answers are out there just search and read.

why does orange safeguard block xda?

orange (uk) has classified xda as only suitible for people over the age of 18 as it contains adult content ....... i dont understand this, what adult content? its a modding community not a porn site, can anything be done about this?

When I was an Orange customer, I had to ask them to turn off safeguard, PURELY FOR XDA AND NOTHING ELSE .
They did tell me that there's a page on their site where you can add a URL for a site that you believe should not be blocked, and they'll look into it. Since I was getting it turned off on my phone I never looked into it. If you do look into this, make sure you use the forum subdomain (forum.xda-developers.com, not www.xda-developers.com). It'll probably just go off the domain name, but better safe than sorry.
You could be responsible for fixing the issue for ALL xda users on Orange!

yeah im gunna nag them about it lol its stupid tho, my fuse is on vodafone and they dont have any problems with letting me on here lol i can't use my debit card to turn the safeguard off either cuz u need a credit card lol

can i ask whether this is with the phone you are browsing or using a mobile broadband dongle
ok
i had this trouble when i first used xda
the sloution is
for mobile broadband dongle
change the APN
if you can find it it should say orangeinternet, change this to consumerbroadband and voila
xda is unlocked
now for the phone
if you find its once worked but stopped then delete everything from opera
ire cache, cookie and history
then turn off phone and remove sim card
then once it back in it should work if this doesnt then alll i can suggest is going to
sart / settings / connections / connections
then make sure it says orange internet at the top of the screen
click on mange my existing connections
on the next screen , a tab called modem, make sure orange internet is selected from list then click edit
you should then get a screen saying enter a name for the connection, leave this as it is
then press next
this one should say access point name
and ir should say orangeinternet
change this to consumerbroadband
click next then finish
you should now be able to browse xda on you phone

[Q] Data connection via USB (reverse tether)

Ive found this discussion happening in forums for other devices after some searching, but was unable to find a means of accomplishing it.
I want to reverse tether my epic to use my windows PC internet connection. I have a bad data signal at work, no wifi available.
How could this be accomplished?

I've seen this question asked in a thread in our forums tsk tsk..... no idea on the status though

I implemented this a little while ago, although I'm not sure anyone else has tried it. It's not perfect, but perhaps it's still useful.

I guess I didn't try the right combination of search phrases or filter out enough of the results to find it. Thanks to Mcasick though I have located the thread.
Now that I already have it I know just what to type into the search box to make it turn up. Reverse look-up???
