Disable 3G / GPRS

any one here know how to stop Jade accidently connect to gprs/3g services....?
as normally i also accidently clicked on the youtube or the browser....
my last bill i'm been charge $42. for nothing....
used the NoData but didnt help......
i just need MMS not internet browsing.....

I am not sure how that happened but I presume you accidently tap "Lauch Browser" or "Youtube" in the Internet tab of TF2D. If that's the case, then you should disable the Internet tab (using M2DC). If you really need to use the browser or Youtube, then use the conventional way, i.e. Start Programs.

I've not tried the advanced one. But for me, the basic M2DC works fine for me all these while. It's not a good idea to have both.

Create a new data connection. I usually give it name "None". Set invalid settings, so your phone is unable to connect to GPRS with it. Set your data connection to this invalid profile . If you need more step-by-step instructions, let me know.

What is sluggish? The M2DC or the new Manilla theme? I've got no problem. M2DC completes in <10 secs after apply. I installed M2DC on my SD card too. See this lead http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3307819&postcount=15

7) Select "None" if you would like to disable your data connection (or select your previous connection if you would like to use it, in my case named "Vodafone")
8) When "None" data connection is active and some app is trying to get data connection, you will get this error. The data connection will not work, so it will not cost you anything .

Yes, Questions!
I'm not really waiting for a data-connection bill, So I'd like to know something: Does this Completely the 3G/GPRS connection untill you switch to another setting again? And can I use Wi-Fi without touching this 'Blockade'? Since my parents pay my monthly fee, I'm not really looking forward to accidently getting a data-connection bill, so I'd like to have some verification

1) This should completely disable your data connection. I tested it on GPRS and it worked with my service provider. It basically prevents you to reach GPRS access point. You can download SPB Wireless Monitor (evaluation 30 days) and try for yourself. But I know that PocketPCs sometime act in a very strange way, so even when I am 99% sure, no guaranties from me, sorry .
2) Sure, you can. That is exactly how I used it.

Thanxs Fenikso for the info and guide.....

at last i solve my initial problem......
- Applied "Any Button Wake-Up "
- Then my "Accidently" problem appears....
- Applied the Fenikso step guide.- Solve the problem...
- And another thing that i realize that i also "accidently" call someone from the contact.
- Found the Softkey Lock Phone - Solve all my problem.....
But still thinking is there Autolock function built-in , tried the Diamond step but no luck.....

Thanks Fenikso for the info and guideness.....

How to turn on 2G/ or turn off 3G but still use 2G

As title...
I read someone was using 2G instead of 3G to save the power. But I can't find the place on my x10 to turn off 3G and leave 2G on.
Any one can point it out?
Thanks

Settings -> Wireless Controls -> Mobile Networks -> Network Mode
WCDMA only = 3G Only (My setting)
GSM only = 2G Only
GSM / WCDMA preferred = 3G preferred, 2G if a 3G connection can't be established

The way I do it is by going to my dialer and entering *#*#4636#*#* into it. After you enter that (don't push send) it will pop up with a menu. Select "Phone Information" and look for a dropdown labelled "Set preferred network type".
Mine has four options:
* WCDMA preferred (default)
* GSM only
* WCDMA only
* Unknown
I set it to GSM only to turn off 3g and use a 2g network.
Alternatively there are several apps in the market that claim to do this. The X10 seems to only give two options in its settings menu. 3g only or 3g preferred with a 2g fallback. At least that's how it is on my phone. Just those two options.

I only have two options.
WCDMA only.
GSM/WCDMA preferred.
Rogers, Canada.
Thanks rynoon, that works... now it shows G instead of 3G..

3 options here:
WCDMA only = 3G Only
GSM only = 2G Only
GSM / WCDMA preferred

There is a nice (free) Tool on the market:
"Show and Switch 2G/3G".
It brings you a shortcut to the dropdown menu.
Additionally I make use of: "Toggle Data Widget" to enable / disable data traffic easily by tapping it.

It's a bit disappointing that the best the market has to offer is effectively a shortcut to a menu screen.. I'm not an Android programmer, but how hard can it be to make a widget that allows you to toggle between 2g, 3g and no g (!! wireless data off!).. surely can't be that hard?

Doesn't work. All those software just show up the wireless setting. But the 2g/3g option doesn't show up in the regular X10 menu. Only rynoon's post works.
That may just apply rogers X10. Not sure other country.

belazor's method works fine in the UK... that's how I've been managing my data settings for the last couple of months.

its completely impossible because android doesnt allow this.

I must allow it.. because there is a menu option that allows you to manually do it.. what ever settings that is changing could be replicated in an app/ widget. Or is this only something that can be accessed at root level?

Thanks for the tip, I was looking for this.
Im going to test it to find out what is the impact to the battery.
im no expert but from trial and error i know this is the main reason for battery drain.

I'm just going by what i've read everywhere. I guess it must only be available as root.

It's true. 2G will conserve battery life a little more. Radio in general consumes a lot of power. When I was abroad, I didn't want to roam so I turned off the radio completely and my X10 lasted 3 days without a recharge.

I been having this problem that there's data connection only on a 3g network only. Forcing my phone to gsm only disables all data connection.is this just me or is this intended?

If you debrand the phone it wilk give you the option to use 2g only.

There is a free application in the market called Network. It will give you all the options we discussed.

Yep, I use Network on my Rogers-branded X10, as Rogers has locked out the option of "GSM Only" from the network settings menu (they had done this on my old iPAQ as well). The app simply gives you direct access to the *#*#4636#*#* menu. Works great.

No. It shouldn't be there when connected to wifi unless you are sending or receiving and MMS message.

mine goes away when I turn the data off.

I found the fix for this in another forum - I think the S4 forum.
You need to disable (turn off) "Caller Name ID". Go into manage apps, click Caller Name ID and select "Turn Off". That worked for me.

Thanks I also had this problem and it was annoying. It would happen once in awhile on my Note 2 but all I had to do was put it on airplane mode and it turn airplane mode back off and it would go back to normal.

I am having the same issues with both of the icons staying on in the status bar, I have tried all the suggestions and have had no success any suggestions would be helpful

so.. what does turning off "caller name ID" do? who does that affect my phone? good or bad??

It's a bloatware app... unless you use it turning it off won't do anything but disable the app

i took the OTA update to 4.4.2 the other day. since doing that, the status bar 4G icon will not go away. i've turned off the caller id app, but it's still showing in my status bar while connected to wifi. anyone else having the same issue?
and no, the icon does not go away when i disable mobile data...

That's the new normal behavior with kk.

Yeah it is normal now to stay if you are on kitkat rom. If you use xposed, you can download the module "Samsung Data Connection Icon fix" and that will get it to go away but it will make the verizon specific 4g icon turn into the normal tw icon as well

Verizon VoLTE Problem with Solution

Hi all,
I installed the 5.1OTA and could not get Verizon Enhanced LTE (advanced calling, VoLTE, etc....) to work. I tried what everyone else suggested and nothing made it work (never showed the enhanced LTE setting in the cellular menu). Here are the steps I took in case anyone else is having the same problem.
1. Re-Install radio and bootloader from here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934540313
2. Enter the hidden menu using *#*#4636#*#*
3. Go in to Phone information
4. Click the TURN ON VOLTE PROVISIONED FLAG button (wont change)
5. Click the TURN OFF RADIO button
6. Wait a few seconds (for radio to turn off) and then click the TURN ON RADIO button.
7. Observe that the TURN ON VOLTE PROVISIONED FLAG button has changed to TURN OFF....
8. Go in to Settings>>...More>>Cellular Networks and make sure that Enhanced 4G LTE Mode is enabled.
I did all this and I still did not have data while making a call. I had to go to VZW site and go into my account and tell it to activate a device on my current line. I entered the IMEI and it gave me a warning about softcard and then went right back to same screen, When I clicked next it gave me a warning that it was unsupoorted device. After this it all worked perfect although the phone is still not recognized on the VZW site.

I can confirm this works. I had the hd voice already added to my line so I had to remove it and then add it back. That seemed to do the trick for me. It hasn't disappeared as it did originally. I'll update if I lose it. Thanks OP

I installed the OTA too and I didn't see the VOLTE switch immediately either.
What I had to do was to log into Verizon and add HD voice to the lines that supported it. After I added them and checked the mobile network settings, I saw the VOLTE switch pop up.
Hope that helps.

o its under free products.. i see it now.. thanks guys.

I added the service to my line then rebooted the phone but still no sign of the setting. Maybe I should have been more patient.
No matter, this solution worked perfectly. thanks

Same here played around in dialer and no go

So..... My problem is that when I enter the settings menu inside of the dialer by dialing *#*#4636#*#* it does show the option to turn on volte provisioned flag but it does not change. Ever. I hit the button, turn off radio, let it turn all the way off, then turn it on, and it still doesnt change. Reboot, still no advanced calling options.
Anyone else having this problem?
I am on Chroma ROM so I'm hoping this isn't an issue, and if it is, does anyone recommend a good stock rom until Chroma gets updated?
Thanks guys!!!

Same problem here. I was using Vanillipop and it worked on that one but not on Chroma

I tried this and got the feature and all on my phone but tried to make a call and got an error then it turned off the features and back to square one.

I did the following and it worked. I had to turn on HD Voice in my verizon account. I did not have to activate my nexus 6 on my line.
type in *#*#4636#*#*. When you hit that last *, your phone will jump into the hidden settings menu. Choose “Phone info” and then scroll down until you see an option for “TURN ON VOLTE PROVISIONED FLAG.” Tap that and then reboot your phone (I had to reboot twice for some reason to get it to work). Once booted, head into your phone’s regular settings menu, tap on “More” under “Wireless & networks,” then “Cellular networks.” You should now see an option for “Enhanced 4G LTE Mode” and it should be toggled on.
Edit: There is a chance that you may need HD Voice added to your Verizon account. To do that, you will need to sign-in to your Verizon account and add the feature, which is free. http://goo.gl/eKFV5E

LTE Carrier Aggregation combinations for Google Pixel2 & 2XL

I have put together a spreadsheet what shows exactly which LTE Carrier Aggregation combinations the Pixel 2 and XL support.
Information comes from the modem config files(present in both phones vendor image).
I have made this a bit more readable than in those config files.
Based on system image 8.0.0(OPD1.170816.018, Nov 2017). Double checked the 8.1 preview taimen-opp5.170921.005 also, identical CA-s. Will update the tables when changes in upcoming builds.
What is LTE Carrier Aggregation
All the LTE Carrier Aggregation combinations in the LTE standard
Find out your MCC and MNC
Find your MNC from the Lists sheet and see which area it belongs(vzw_ca, att_ca, tmo_ca, usc_ca, sprint_ca etc)
If you don't find your MNC then you will get CA combinations from ""outcast". You will not get any 3 CA combinations, even if your network operator has enabled them on towers.

Google Pixel2 & XL LTE Carrier aggregation combinations spreadsheet

I see Rjio mentored there but I never see lte+ in my status bar. Also in sim status I don't see lte_ca why?

This is why its a shame that google remove diag function from the usb init.
If we can plug this phone to QXDM, we can try to mod the CA config

I see many tutorials activating CA and other LTE bands but m waiting for someone much experienced and senior to give us some guidance about activating LTE ca . Hope I could use my pixel 2 XL on reliance Jio with LTE + and not be jealous of OnePlus 5 users who already have LTE+ enabled.
And did anyone got it working ? Any Jio users?

I tried on pixel 2 XL but it's diagnostic mode can't be activated. Or I couldn't find a way to activate. Google don't want us to access diagnostic mode. I contacted Google support and registered it as a trouble and also send a feedback regarding this , hope they listen n activate carrier aggregation in next update.

You wont be able to activate it, yes. Because the usb.rc file doesnt have the diag value listed anywhere.
I think somehow we need to push google to put it there, although i doubt they will listen
Other solution is using custom ROM

Does Network Signal Guru need the phone to be rooted? Cause I am not rooting my phone, so tell me some other way to see it which does not involve rooting.

I dont know the other way btw. Sometimes it can be seen from *#*#4636#*#* phone info page. But i dont think thats the case with this phone.

Well, the crazy part is that if you Go to Settings > Status > SIM Status and if you are using LTE CA it shows LTE_CA, but in Pixel it always shows LTE. But as my device is not rooted and I don't have that app, I also have no idea if I would be using LTE CA, would it still be showing just LTE (like there is no LTE+ in pixel) or it would show up LTE_CA or something like that. But as you do, maybe you can answer that.
Honestly, I just have no need to root my device.
Also I tried doing *#*#4636#*#* -> it shows Voice -> LTE, Data -> LTE, No sign of LTE_CA or LTE+ or LTE-A or any such thing.

Well, the crazy part is that if you Go to Settings > Status > SIM Status and if you are using LTE CA it shows LTE_CA, but in Pixel it always shows LTE. But as my device is not rooted and I don't have that app, I also have no idea if I would be using LTE CA, would it still be showing just LTE (like there is no LTE+ in pixel) or it would show up LTE_CA or something like that. But as you do, maybe you can answer that.

In other phone, it will show LTE_CA in Data value. But again, not in this phone, LoL
it seems like that google dont want you to think too much about whether its aggregated or not, as long as the speed is still good enough. This will do fine for most user, but will frustate power user indeed.
Regarding network signal guru, it will show you the CA status and the multiplier, 2XCA or 3XCA (see my screenshot above)

OK, so, just to be clear in your phone even when the Network Signal Guru is showing CA to you, you still see just LTE in the SIM Status section and *#*#4636#*#*, correct?

I really don't know why Google did this dumb thing. This is just stupid. First of all, a normal user will never dig to the SIM Status section, and secondly, if someone is going there that means he wants to have some clarified info.
