I have an XDA 1
Running 4.01.12 ENG - Radio 4.21.00
Connected to the Orange Network
When I connect to GPRS to access the internet or email.
It connects up fine. If I then tap on the signal Icon
(with opposing arrows indicating its connected),
It opens a ballon window with "Orange GPRS Connected". The only options are HIDE and a settings link. The is no disconnect option.
The only way I can stop the connection is to tap Setting -> Manage Existing ->Edit and then CANCEL
Anyone know how to fix this.?
Help appreicated.

Well, here is a little cool trick to disconnect the GPRS!!
Just press the "end call button" (the red button) for 3 seconds, then it will disconnect.
Try it, it works with me in xda II, I am not sure if it works in xda I. Let us know if this little trick works in xda I.
:lol: It works. Thanks
I want to use my I-Mate Jam as a PDA only. And I want to disable the phone feature so that it wont pop up all the time to ask to put in a SIM card. How do I do that?
Tap on the "no SIM" or antenna icon in the top bar. A bubble should pop up with "turn flight mode on" link. Tap it and the phone part will be disabled.
By the way are you using Jam or Jamin?
In Jamin (which is the prophet) you can also do this through comm manager (button on the left side of the device).
I am using JAM. But I dont want to enable flight mode on as I want to use bluetooth. all I want is just to disable phone feature. I want to use this device for GPS only in my car. That is why I want to disable phone only.
Well first off you are in the wrong forum. Please check the pictures (I really don't remember what the name for the JAM is, but it is not prophet).
Second, from my experience, at least on WM 5 device you can enter "flight mode" which will turn off all wireless, then re-enable bluetooth through BT manager or similar.
The phone part will stay off until you exit "flight mode".
I recently installed a little app (GB-SOFT Tweak) that gives you an on/off button when you tick the active GPRS connection.
Does anyone know a smiliar program to do the same for the WIFI connection.
It bother me that everytime I want to switch off the WIFI I have to go through the Comm Manager
I think it doesn't exist!!
but what about the connections line item on the today screen that I sometimes see on screenshots? (see attached)
Also on the screenshot attached there is an icon for the battery which it does not show in my version of WM6. Any idea how to activate that one?
Read the wiki, it's all explained.
I own a HTC Polaris, before this I had the XDA Orbit.
Since the Polaris I miss the Bluetooth-Icon when BT is turned on. Except the blinking blue diode I cannot check if BT is turned on.
Is there a possibility to get an BT-Icon when BT is switched on?
To Admin: My provider "3 - Austria" is missing in the Provider section in my User CP.
I dont know about the missing bluetooth icon, but for your operator you could chose Australia - Three...
Thanks, but there are no kangaroos in Austria
So if you turn BT on, you get the BT Symbol next to the 3G/E/G symbol?
Unfortunately not. But what you can do is tap the connection icon*, a bubble will pop up which tells you what kind of connectivity you have. This includes BT, WLAN and max network speed (3G, G, E, ...). Other than that there's only the blue LED and the on/off indicator in the CommManager...
*it's the "first" icon, the 3G/G/E/... icon or, if you are connected using WiFi, the "tower" with those horizontal arrows.
Alternatively you can select Ireland - Three, if you're more comfortable with them. They speak a weird English too, so language wise it doesnt really matter
Your idea doesn't work either.
In the bubble I can only see the standard Icons like 3G, the signal strengh, battery status and loudness - but not BT Symbol.
wtf...? See screenshot attached...
I have a Mac so I don't with active sync and BT. But I have activated the Wireless Menü at the bottom of the start screen, so I can see if WLAN or BT is turned on/off. But thx for you help.
It actually wasnt about the connected ActiveSync but more about the shiny blue Bluetooth "B" in the top left corner of the bubble The ActiveSync connection was needed for the screenshot...
Ah okay. I have disabled dies bubble because everytime the polaris connects to HSDPA I get this bubble, and this is really annoying.
So summarized, it's impossible to get the BT icon on the top like the WLAN icon?
Alternate solution: grab battery status ext - it allows to have bt and wifi icons in the right bottom corner - from there you can switch all the things on and off, perform actions like bt pairing or wifi connection establishment.
Thanks for your help.
Is this happening to anyone?
If I go into lock screen (lock phone) with "Mobile Hotspot" enabled, the "Mobile Hotspot" stops and disconnects any device that is currently using it.
I've searched the lock screen settings and powersaving options, but I've not found any option that would keep the "Mobile Hotspot" active on lockscreen.
Thanks!
Answering to myself, maybe it's useful for someone else.
The "App Power Monitor" must be disabled or else the "Mobile Hotspot" will be shutdown when the device is locked.
