Guest z0s0 Posted May 26, 2010 Report Share Posted May 26, 2010 As per subject line - every time my phone swaps from WiFi to 3G, I get a prompt saying "Continuing Internet access will lead to traffic. Continue?" Anyone know how I can turn this off? I'm running 2.1r7, but have found this on all 2.1 builds I have tried. Thanks, Jules Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jaykay76 Posted May 31, 2010 Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 I`ve got same problem, it makes my phone unusable, because I need phone making autoswitching between wifi and edge :( :( :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Daniel Williamson Posted May 31, 2010 Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 I just left it on that screen for about 5 seconds and it dissapeared :( Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jankov Posted May 31, 2010 Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 I think that when WiFi isn't available 3G auto switces on, thats if you haven't disabled Data Service in Wireless and network settings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Gonçalo Silva Posted May 31, 2010 Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 This is very annoying. Haven't figured out how to turn it off, though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest deadphill Posted May 31, 2010 Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 Bump Same here and rather annoying!!! Cheers Phill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Gonçalo Silva Posted May 31, 2010 Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 I just left it on that screen for about 5 seconds and it dissapeared :( Dan If I leave it on the screen it doesn't disappear. It's a bigger issue when you lock your screen (and Wi-Fi disconnects) and this thing appears, meaning 3G won't work until you unlock and explicitly tell allow it. Any solutions? :| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest z0s0 Posted May 31, 2010 Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 As a side note, I think this "feature" is why I'm seeing such drastically improved battery life: The phone sleeps, WiFi turns off, and 2g/3g never turns on because of this prompt. SO the phone spends most of it's days not connected to the internet hence no push email, etc, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Josh04 Posted May 31, 2010 Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 Nope, I had drastically improved battery life on the beta 2.1 without this prompt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rikkiej Posted May 31, 2010 Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 Isn't there a switch in the network settings for 'network always on' or something? Haven't tried it yet but this might be the deal, flipping it on will make this go away? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Gonçalo Silva Posted May 31, 2010 Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 (edited) EDIT: False alarm. Sorry guys. Just fixed it. You need to enable "Data roaming" on "Mobile Networks" inside "Wireless & network settings". Since this is a Swiss ROM, I'm guessing it "thinks" it's roaming... but not sure. This fixed it for me :-) Edited June 1, 2010 by Gonçalo Silva Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Gonçalo Silva Posted June 1, 2010 Report Share Posted June 1, 2010 that does not work :( You're right. Somehow I had the impression it was working, but today I'm getting that confirmation screen again. Sorry for that. I hate this thing :| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry for that. I hate this thing :| Edit /system/build.prop This is the switch that causes the prompting ro.config.hw_new_wifitopdp=0 Change the 1 to a 0 reboot. You may have to re-enable data services. Edit : removed the region and locale settings as these are not needed (thanks Jan M) Edited June 2, 2010 by jonuwz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Epic-Emodude Posted June 2, 2010 Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 if you are in the UK, this works : Edit /system/build.prop, uncomment these 2 lines and change the region to GB ro.product.locale.language=en ro.product.locale.region=GB This is the switch that causes the prompting (just setting the region is not enough) ro.config.hw_new_wifitopdp=0 Change the 1 to a 0 reboot. You may have to re-enable data services. So I wont get the message as long as those lines of code are as you have shown? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest jonuwz Posted June 2, 2010 Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 (edited) Original post ammended. You don't need to edit these, so if they don't exist, don't worry. ro.product.locale.language=en ro.product.locale.region=GB They exist on another stock UK android phone, so I added them anyway. To edit build.prop, if you're not a cli person : Install estrongs file manager from the market (free), enable the root settings, mount /system rw, browse to /system, click build.prop, open as text, edit the file, save, reboot.

Guest n00rbert Posted June 2, 2010 Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 Thanks so much man, it works great!
