Random GPRS Connection

[Guest Kris Rennison]

Hi all, and great forum you guys have here ;) Its been very useful to me since getting my i900 Omnia

Anyway, a brain teaser: I have updated my firmare to DXHH3 and all is well - apart from my GPRS connection randomly starts itself for no reason

It's particulary frustrating as I dont want to run up a huge GPRS bill as il lock my phone, put it in my pocket, take it out two hours later and its been on GPRS for an hour and a half :S

Anyone have any ideas? Is it just due to the DXHH3? has anyone else had this issue?

Thanks in advance, and keep up the good work guys :wacko:

Yea ;) Checked this morning and the GPRS had been on 9 hours... There is a app called nodata.

Have it installed forgot to add it after flash, It allows you to toggle the phone ability to use GPRS,Edge 3G great for roaming

thanks a lot! ;) ill install it now.. it seems a bit awkward tho that you need to install a 3rd party app to stop your phone tryin to murder you financially... anyone know the root of the issue

i phoned up the gadget helpline and they said "its because its microsoft software and its always gonna have issues" lol!

Totally agree better to be safe though, Just hoping data is billed on downloaded content compared to connection time.. Which im sure it is?

[Guest Kris Rennison]

yeah you're right, but still - if its been connected for that long, lord alone knows what its been downloading

From a few searches ive found tht if you disable automatic time update it will stop the random connections.. im gonna give tht a shot, and failing that i'm going to go for that program

thanks a lot for your help ;)

If you have XTRA (Enhanced GPS) with automated updates, it will always try to open/reopen a GPRS connection. Obviously push email or scheduled email syncs do the same.

If you install SPB GPRS data monitor you will see, that this all day connection uses no more than 0.05MB
