Hi Guys,
I am on Three Australia. They offer a great data rate on X-Series when connected to their network - but the coverage in my area is not so great.
Three charge $1.95 or so per MB when you open a data connection when Roaming.
Is there an application available that will disconnect a data connection when the device is roaming and reconnect when it goes back to the Three network?
Thanks,
Blair

my gprs icon is permently on on my device G with the 2 arrows task manager says nothing running, will this use up my GPRS data?
Providing no app is accessing your GPRS then no. It's a bit like having your home PC connected to broadband ADSL but nothing actually downloading. The connection has been made but it's sat there idle.
Just ensure no application is running in the background.
You can, of course, click the "G" icon itself and then close the connection down.

but if the operator is billing out idle time (T-Mobile HUN rounds up every 5/15 mins the traffic to 10kB) it's not equal then, if there is an active conn or not.
Connection via a dial-up WAP connection take the form of an actual call and are thus are billed by time. But GPRS data calls, I thought, were billed by data transferred. I often leave my GPRS connection open all day and Orange UK certainly only bill per MB.

Is it possible to maintain a data connection and phone connection at the same time?
Currently, if my phone is connected to the internet through an HSDPA data connection, the connection is dropped when I receive a phone call over 3G.
I use my niki's HSDPA connection (FarEastTone in Taiwan) for connecting to the 'net on my home PC, but it is also my primary phone so I would like to be able to keep the internet connection alive when receiving or making calls.
Any ideas?
Thanks
EDIT: It appears to be holding the connection now, so I can stay online and talk on the phone at the same time, but it kept disconnecting last night. Here's hoping it lasts.
Hi All,
New to my fantastic HD Touch so apologise if this is an obvious question..
If I have wifi enabled and data connection enabled, if i go onto the internet or, say, Youtube for aguments sake, will it use the Wifi connection as a priority over the data connection?
I ask because i want to keep my bills down without having to manually keep turning the data connection off (it connects every 5 mins to check for email)
Thanks
Loving this forum by the way!!
Depends on how the connection is set up. You can check your config by going to settings->connections->connections->advanced->select networks
There is then a drop down under the heading "Programs that automatically connect to the internet should connect using:". When I bought mine this was set to "Contract Internet" which basically means my vodafone data connection. I managed to run up a bill of over £50 before I spotted this (this was before I moved to a decent data package).
I changed this setting to "My Work Network" and it then used the wifi in preference to the cell connection. However, I think (although haven't scientifically tested) that if a program gets a cell connection before the wifi is activated then it may not automatically switch over if wifi is subsequently enabled.
BTW I tested all this using a $10 app called GPRS Traffic Monitor (which can monitor HSDPA as well as GPRS) to see if the traffic figures rose while browsing the net with wifi on and off. After changing my settings the data usage figures only went up if wifi was off.
My aria shows connected to the wifi but it will only operate off of the networks data. On the status bar you can see the wifi connection and on the right where there is usually a check mark when your connected and using wifi data there is the arrows that show network data transfer. Any one have any suggestion on how to fix it?
Normally when the Aria is connected to a WIFI network it will use the WIFI for data transfer. If you do not want o use the 3G connection for data then hold down the power button then turn off the mobile network.
Result is failure to connect on cellular data & charges on the goPhone prepaid.
Only workaround is to disable cellular radio every time I want to use Wifi.
How can it be configured to do the usual [obvious] data network preference of USB, then Wifi, then cellular?
Repro:
Turn on both cellular radio & Wifi, sync email via Windows Live, see failure to connect

BTW, I liked your fast "similar threads" facility above. However, no answers there.
