Touch Pro 2 question regarding data plan, WiFi

I recently received a Touch Pro 2 from T-Mobile. Somehow, I got lucky and received it without signing up for a data plan. The phone line is on a family plan with unlimited family text usage. My questions are, does the unlimited family text service allow me to text/send instant messages using my TP2 at no extra cost? I don't want to be billed up the a hole for each text message. My second question is, is there a way I can disable the web service on my TP2 and force it to ONLY use WiFi??? I don't want to accidentally use T-Mobile's web service and again get charged a ton for usage. Thanks in advance folks!

Your phone will work with your family plan with unlimited family text usage. When you order the TP2 it is required as part of your contract to have the data plan for the life of the contract. I would check into that as you might get charged for breaking your contract. You are able to use the WIFI only by disabling the data connection.

How do I disable the data connection?? Would that interfere with my ability to text or is that seperate?

"So as long as I keep my family unlimited text service I'm free to text away correct?
As long as your phone is apart of the family plan, you receive the same services as the rest of the phones on the plan.

The best way that I know of to make sure that you don't use your data connection with out possibly effecting mms or txt messaging is to find an app called, NoData. I had found it a while ago in the Rhodium forum. I will post it when I can find it again. Using this app, you can toggle the data and internet connections as needed.

Thanks for your help. I really do appreciate it!

NoData
This is the most up to date version of NoData that I could find. Unfortunately I could not find it posted on these forums
Anyway here it is. lol

Thank you! Again, I appreciate the help. Take care!

I forgot to ask, I'm guessing the Touch Pro 2 has weather updates. Do I need to have the web data plan or is it a free "service"? My friends Samsung Highlight has weather updates and does not pay for a data plan. Thoughts?

The weather app gets its data from accuweather.com so it should update over your WIFI.

Good point but does it update automatically even when I'm not using my WiFi? I don't want to be charged because of random weather checks. Thanks stuntmonkey.

If your data connection is disabled, it would not be able to download weather data except for when you are connected to wifi.

Will my T-Mobile TP2 have the option without the need of adding the app? I was checking out pictures that other TP2 owners posted and I found this picture,

and this one as well,

It depends on which rom you are using. some of the stock roms have that feature while others don't. if your phone has an option in the settings tab that says data connection with an on/off switch than that will work. There have been instances when a data connection will still connect when requested by an application using that setting. It is worth a try if you have concerns about using another program.

AT&T hotspot - "Wi-Fi Hotspot Access Failed"?

Ever since AT&T revealed that all unlimited users are now capped to 3gb/month (5gb for LTE), aka no more 5% crap, I can't get my Nitro automatically connect to any ATT hotspots around the town. I get message in notification bar saying
Unable to confirm eligibility, please call Customer CARE at 800-331-0500.
Click to expand...

Before that, every time there is a hotspot available the phone automatically connects and nothing required from the user's side. Now I have to manually open browser and agree with their terms of service.
Anyone experiencing this?

I will test mine out to see if I get the same issue, and report back my findings.

I've had that happen a few times recently too. The app would seem to keep trying and would eventually connect successfully.

I'm having the same problem. I've been bounced back and forth between AT&T Mobility and AT&T Wi-Fi so many times. Like you I can always get in by going to the login screen and logging in with my DSL credentials. I also have a grandfathered "unlimited" data plan.
I recall this happening previously (like when I go through a McDonald's drive-thru) but I've only chased after it since March 1. It's happened in 2 different hotspots, one in Boston and one in Memphis.
I'm on a Samsung Captivate with OEM Gingerbread.

Here is my conspiracy theory:
AT&T trying make us, unlimited plan users, use all the capped data as quicker as possible to slow it done sooner, make us more pissed off and switch to limited plans.
Make sense?

Try restoring the hotspot app in Titanium Backup again and then reboot.

Can't use Titanium. I'm not rooted.
I tried clearing the application data. I'll post back whether that helps or not.

Running latest Kernelpanic rom I don't experience this problem.

I finally got my WISPr connect to work. In "Wi-Fi settings" I had "Network notification" unchecked. I checked this and then went to an AT&T Wi-Fi hotspot.
It connected!
Not wanting to leave "Network notification" checked and get all those nagging notifications I unchecked it and visited another AT&T Wi-Fi hotspot.
It connected!
See if this helps you.

It is actually nothing to do with our phones, it's ATT ****ing with us.
I've checked it with 3 different phones, all had the same problem.
Now, all three one day connecting fine another - no go.

Come to Canada it works...wait forget it we don't have ICS. ;-)

I fully believe this is exactly what they are doing. It pisses me off, but instead of switching plans I'll switch APNs. HAHA I win!

I'll pay you to fix this. *PLEASE*

Basic info:
- I'm on The People's Rom GS3.17
- I'm using KTweaker and running one of their profiles
- I'm ATTEMPTING to use Tasker to regulate Wifi home/out and data home/outside
So pretty much here's my problem:
I've attempted to use Taster to make sure Wifi is ON when im at home and OFF when i leave home (according to cell towers)
I've also tried to make sure Data/Wifi is OFF when screen is OFF and ON when screen is on.
But even if Tasker was working perfectly, this problem still persists and this is it:
1) When I use WiFi at home, every so often, it will just shut off (even if the screen is on) and it will revert to 3G
2) The only solution to this is to turn off Wifi, then turn it back on, and only THEN will it capture the SSID and connect to the internet.
Example shown below:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
In the above picture, "InternetOnly" is the SSID for my university and yet, with Wifi enabled, it doesn't access the damn SSID and the internet! It is using 3G. In fact, when I click to connect to that SSID, it says "out of range" which is BS. Only when I reset the Wifi connection does it connect me to the internet/ssid. Exact same problem occurs with the SSID at home. Wifi policy is set to sleep "never" btw.
As for Tasker, this is what I'm using for automation which is failing epicly (I deleted the task about cell towers because it was getting annoying):
I THINK the problem would work if I stock resetted my phone using ODIN but I don't want to
Someone please help.

Okay so it happened again; I'm at home, and it was connected to WiFi, and now it's back to 3G even though WiFi is enabled. When I click to connect, it says "failed to connect to network" even though I'm literally a few feet from the router.

In TPR you have to freeze in Titbu just like you did good move. The settings have it removed because so many people where messing things up not knowing what they where doing.

Well so far I just flashed the .zip file and removed it altogether...let's see how it goes.

Yeah the update is that even after flashing the damn .zip, the WiFi still randomly disconnects from my SSID (even though the WiFi itself is enabled)
SUPER ANNOYING!!!

Should I just change the SSID? I heard sometimes it doesn't like upper-case letters and numbers.

MMS + WiFi Calling - Show Off Your Knowledge Here!!;)

MMS is so unreliable over WiFi Calling mode. When I connect to WiFi, I keep getting a toast message saying "Access has been Restricted" and I can send SMS but can't send any kind of MMS...even with the stupid stock messenger I can't either
T-Mobile is stressing me out. I've had Verizon for 10 years up until last Saturday I'm stumped.
T-Mobile's WiFi Calling uses something called GBA Authentication which is only supposed to allow access to system apps and apps digitally signed by T-mobile.
GBA Authentication?? How can I trick this feature into thinking it IS digitally signed? Or whatever I need to do. Help?

OK this is what I know. SMS and MMS over WiFi needs a special set up on their end. It gonna be hard for you to find someone to know what they doing. Took me over 30 + calls to them. I would keep calling and have them escalate to higher tier tech

Yeah, I'm just wondering if the latest OTA fixes this…some research I just did talks about the most significant fix in the OTA is for MMS failure and WiFi Calling mode.
Are you able to test this out? I need to know if while having wifi calling enabled, mobile data DISABLED and wifi enabled, can you send yourself a picture thru text (MMS)?
Anyone?

REALLY??? Damn, i need that to work...i get NO service in my house...only WiFi. Really hoping this OTA fixes that. Thanks bud.

I do not use the stock app, I use hangouts, but even with the update MMS isn't coming through. I get a message that I have 24 hours to download them and can only do it on cellular.

It's very unreliable, will only work with the stock messaging app and only sometimes for me

MMS over WiFi will NEVER work with any messaging apps other than LG stock because the stock app hooks into the proprietary IMS framework that allows SMS/MMS to go over T-Mobile's WiFi Calling servers instead of the cellular network.
Third party developers do not have access to the IMS framework, so other messaging apps will NEVER be able to send SMS/MMS over WiFi.
That said, SMS/MMS works for me perfectly with the stock LG messaging apps over WiFi.

MMS doesn't work for me with the stock app either. FULL WiFi too. So freaking annoying! Switched to T-mobile last week...worst technical choice I've made in years. You get what you pay for WTF, and not just cuz of this either. This is just typical icing on the cake.

Not true about SMS not working over wifi with 3rd party app. I can say at least THAT works

It's probably sending it over cellular without your knowledge. Check your signal bars when you're trying to send the SMS over WiFi, they should be blank. Or go into Airplane Mode, then turn just WiFi on and try.

Airplane mode stops the phone from activating WiFi calling. But with a blank signal bar and a double check in the network section of the settings reading signal off, 3rd party apps will send text over WiFi, just not mms.

Yes, WiFi calling is enabled. I have great internet and a $200 Asus router which is nothing but awesome. No matter which router I connect to, I can almost never send MMS via stock messenger. I have no signal bars while connected to my router. Especially when I'm home, I get no mobile signal as it is
Which Network Mode are u guys on?

I can confirm on Wi-Fi calling, with the Wi-Fi calling symbol on my task bar and my cell signal icon all greyed out, I CAN and DO get SMS through hangouts. No MMS though, I get the "failed to download message.

Wifi very week on note 4

Hello I got a note 4 and I have noticed that wifi signal connecting my router or other free wifi signal is not realy the "best thing" is quite hard .I got a note 3 neo,xcover,s3 ,a sony a iphone 4 and all of then havea bettar wifi connection.So I was woundering if,without louseng the Warranty with root,if there was a setting entering with secret codes in a secret menu and chage some settings so that the rx wifi will get bettar.
Anybody know something?
Thank's
Helen

I've heard of other models needing the Wi-Fi power saver mode disabled but rarely the Note 4.
Open your dialer and dial *#0011# tap the top right menu button and select Wi-Fi; scroll to bottom and tap the button near bottom to turn off.
You may also consider installing Wi-Fi Analytics from Google Play and analyze your network from your phone and compare to another phone on same network/same location (or simply this menu). You may have a hardware issue to resolve before considering root.

I did that but I dident noticed any chage so I will keep it like it was.I can tell u what I test .If I set the router max 56 mbps or max 130 Mbps then I have a good signal if I set ot max 270 Mbps then signal is realy very week.Now I dont know if that maybe change olso frequency of wifi and maybe taht is the probelm with the note 4 but I'm sure handy haves problem.I sort it out just setting max 56 Mbps Will be interesting to know if is possibol to change some settings on note 4 so taht olso on max 270 Mbps signal in rx will e "good" as example a free wifi in my village I think is on max 270 Mbps because my note 3 meo can connect wifi in the train instead note 4 dont have any wifi signal

Comparatively speaking, it's weaker and noted on the locations, applications and dialer code menu, right?
If so, you can exchange it if still within the exchange window (get it back quickly if that applies and don't take no for an answer). Otherwise, have it evaluated under warranty at point of sale.
I wouldn't settle for having to carry multiple devices to do what one should do unless your employer or business makes that necessary.
Not to judge your ISP provider or Wi-Fi router but your equipment may be generations out of date regarding speed and technology. But if it works to your satisfaction, good enough. Otherwise, your ISP may exchange it. I upgrade my modem and WiFi router myself to avoid the expense of leasing one; over time, it may actually pay for itself both in monetary terms and overall ease and satisfaction. A small investment if making the right timely decision. At the moment there's been movement on both the mobile and WiFi hardware. I adopted WiFi 802.11ac tech too early and now they have doubled ac connection speeds on the Wi-Fi router side. I'll wait to upgrade my WiFi router when I upgrade my phone. I think it makes sense to keep the tech relative to capabilities; upgrading too soon may not be a benefit at all and actually cost more, requiring more frequent and unnecessary upgrades.
Slow gratis WiFi outside the home? I get that too. Bummer.

I haven't helped much but you're welcome.
Do you have the option to return the Note 4 for exchange? The opportunity may only be 14 or 15 days so act quickly if you have that opportunity.
I'm thinking the weak WiFi indicates that exchange would be recommended if convenient.
I just reiterated the point because I wasn't sure if that got lost in translation.

I haven't helped much but you're welcome.
Do you have the option to return the Note 4 for exchange? The opportunity may only be 14 or 15 days so act quickly if you have that opportunity.

Disable connections optimizer. It causes your phone to change connections too often. Disabling actuality increases speed also. If you go to Wifi settings and disable constant scanning your device will not be searching for better connections. You can also force your device to stay connected with a app called Connections Stabilizer ' it directed connection and if it does lose service it resets everything causing a more stabile connection. It works best with super access but is not required.

I have (had) the same issues with my Note 4. It would always prefer mobile over WiFi after I rooted it. It got to the point it would not even connect to WiFi in places that where all ready saved to my device. It was the same on every Samsung based ROM. It kept on popping up that the connections optimizer had stopped. You can just disable it in settings. I just freeze it out on new ROMS now. It solved the WiFi issue for me.

@androodius that option is off I dont use data (the option ist available only if data is on just because I use a sim from another country so Rouming cost very mutch expecialy if I go online.But the test I did with my Netgear dgn2000 is unfortunatelly ok 100% maybe is a general wifi problem of the note 4.

I see. So it's safe to say that you leave your mobile data disconnected all of the time? Although the connections optimizer is in mobile settings it is designed to connect to WiFi. The Note 4 has a very efficient booster built in to it. It works by jumping back and forth between mobile and WiFi. On the Sprint model it is activated with the connections optimizer and/or in WiFi settings. Verizon Note 4s come with it available in settings and in the toggle notifications. With idoneapp you can enable all of the toggles on every carriers note.
I'm not sure what the exact cause of the cause of the problem is but I do know that when it is enabled in any of the 3 ways I mentioned my device stongly favors mobile data. The only way I can make it stay on WiFi is by disabling mobile data.
Are you having the problems with your Wifi so when your mobile is off you are basically getting no data?
Either way you might want to look in to the idoneapp. It has a lot of cool feature. One that may save you money is the hotspot enabler. It unlocks your APNs so you might be able to kick over to some that don't cost as much to use.
