Having upgraded from the XDA to the XDA2 I have noticed that after receiving a MMS the GPRS indicator in the top left of the screen remains on. I can switch it off by turning off wireless and then turn wireless backon to get the normal service indicator displayed. But do I need to deactivate gprs ?? . and am I paying for it even when I am not making a call or doing things that use the internet or messaging services
Thanks for any info on this
It should close
Brian
It should close after 7-10 minutes or so.
I don't think you're paying for it being open - after all it's gprs not time-based billing
It does not switch off after 7/10 mins, But I have noticed that a symbol appears in the top of the screen showing a phone with a white circle containing a X . This shows for a few seconds then disappears, This happens often ,
thanks
After sending or recieving a MMS my xda-2 stay connected to the GPRS wap connection, it dose not cost to keeep it connected, if you wish to disconect just hold the red end key for a few seconds
John
Cant get it to close using red key ????
If its not costing anything then I guess its OK
even if you hold the red end key for 5 or so seconds, dose it not "beep" and theen the connection drops, again not that it matters as its not costing anyway
John
No it does'nt
As mentioned in an earlier post a symbol appears on the top of the screen every so often
not sure then, But as to the icon (phone , circle and cross) i asked this ages ago and was told its to do with the IA caller id thats included on the XDA-2, The handbook shows the icon in one of the screen shots but nowhere dose it mention anything about it

i am having a problem with Direct Push. It resets phone connection, and disconncets me in the middle of a call. I will go from full bars to it looking for a connection in an area i know is fine. A few seconds and i have full bars again. Its really irritating. The only time this doesnt happen is when direct push is off. anyone have any ideas.
I've noticed this too. When I go to bed with DirectPush enabled, when I wake up my phone shows full bars, no missed calls or texts. But if I check voicemail, I'll have had a ton of calls that never got through. Sometimes I even have to reset the phone to use it again at all.
VERY big problem, so I've disabled it for now. Anyone else seen this?
It's was 3 bars when I received a call, but as I answered it the call disconnected and the status changed to 'No phone service'. It's the status icon with the exclamation mark.
I tried to call back immediately (while with no phone service) and it worked. During the phone call, the status icon changed to the 'No signal' icon. It was still 'no signal' after the 5 minute call finished and took a few minutes before it updated to have signal bars.
I have poor reception in my room. It's usually 1-3 bars and mostly 2 bars.
It seems like WM doesn't update the status icon fast enough. Unfortunately I wonder if phone calls can come in while WM 'thinks' I don't have reception.
Anybody else notice this?
The phone powers on fine. Once it sits for a few minutes it goes to sleep and wont come out. No matter what I do. When I send text or try and call my phone from another phone it just goes to voicemail. Then twenty or thirty minutes later it will show up. Service is in and out and when I dial out it doesnt ever ring. WHile trying to text it just says text cannot be sent. I have the hermes 200 vodaphone v1605 and I am using t mobile service. IS this something to do with the network? It just works when it wants to!!
also after charging it just stays lit up! DOenst respond to any button strokes. WHen I try and make a call it just gives me a weird symbol whre my signal strength should be
Hi,
My note 3 on the Three uk network does not reconnect data automatically after coming out of a area with no signel just stays in emergancy calls only until i either restart the phone or put it into flight mode and out again really really annoying. At work i get no signal and after finishing unless i remember to toggle flight mode i will not recive any text or phone calls until i do meaning i miss stuff.
Anyone getting really annoying having to put into flight mode and out about 5 times a day now!
