Disconnect EDGE/GPRS

I have a Tmobile DASh in US...which come with pre-installed Yahoo; I use yahoo a lot. I connect to my home Wi-fi and and then access yahoo. But surprisingly Tmobile charges for it saying each message I send and receive is send as a text message.
I think as edge is enabled yahoo is sending it default thru edge/gprs and hence the charge.
Is there any way to turn off egde or have the yahoo to connect thru only Wi-fi, as I can do for skype.
I tried to delete all the setting in edge but no help.
Please help me.

Bro, even I had the same problem when I installed it on my N4.
I had even mailed about the problem to the support section of Whatsapp, but they didn't responded.
So I switched to "VIBER" along with my friends.

whatsapp
I amongst many, with the same issue if you do a google search re whatsapp issue.
Not only can I not connect, but I did finally overcome that issue by downloading the newer version.
The other issue I experience with whatsapp is the delay in receiving messages. It seems the push service, is not running properly.
All this I have experienced since the update of Android 422.

If you can connect to other applications on your data network, but not WhatsApp, it could be that your mobile provider has configured your wireless access points to block certain chat applications. Try this if WhatsApp still will not work on data only:
Contact your mobile provider and ask them about different access point settings to run chat apps.
They will guide you through a process in which you will manually configure your data network and web settings.
Go to access point settings (APNs) and select TATA DOCOMO INTERNET apn or which ever service provider you use select Internet apn , your whatsapp will work.

[Q] No MMS over Wifi?

I think I'm losing my mind. I could have swore MMS over WIFI was possible before I rooted via the GEOHOT method, but it seems since I did the deed, I am unable to send MMS through the default Messages or Google Hangouts without disconnecting from Wifi hopping on 4G then going back. I double and triple checked I still have mobile data on while connected to my home wifi, so I'm not sure where the issue lies.
Apologies if this is a known issue but a quick thread search yielded no results of similar issue so I figured I'd ask, is this something that can be corrected or is it just due to the setup of the phone and VZW network?
Thanks all!

MMS (multimedia messages with pictures, etc..) uses data to transmit the message. It's normal for an MMS message to use cellular data service even when connected to wifi, since your home or work wifi doesn't have communication with Verizon's cell network.
SMS (simple texts with no attachments, just text) does not use data and would not need to hop over to 4G.

mms over wifi
i just tried, and sent a mms to my email thru wifi but i'm not using the stock messaging app, i have my default set to handcent and it works a bit differently. Additionally my wifi allows me to use 4g while still connected to wifi. I'm running both alliancerom and slymhyde.. i can do it on both through handcent i hopped back and forth with safestrap.

I'm familiar with the data connection handoff when send SMS vs MMS, but thanks for clarifying I just assumed the device would switch from Wifi to 4G or cellular data to send the MMS vs just not sending it at all unless the WiFi was disconnected. I might just have to try 3rd party apps I suppose and see where that takes me. I just liked how Hangouts integrated with my other Google services.
Thanks for the info!

Whatsapp and Facebook not work on WiFi

Hi
I have a Samsung Galaxy S5 SM900H, buy it for two days, I have a very strange problem in my home I have a WiFi network, connected to Wifi with my S5 I can browse the internet through Chrome, use any application that needs internet, receipt Whatsapp messages (images, Videos), Facebook Messenger, Email, Hangouts, etc., but when I try to send pictures, videos or text messages through WhatsApp are never sent and Facebook does not load the new news, it is loading and it never ends.
If I connect to 3G data network everything works fine.
There are several Samsung phones in my house and all work fine connected to the same wireless network.
In my house there is no Proxy or any equipment that restricts access to the internet.
I already delete data, cache and uninstall both applications, install again and the problem persists.
I hope you can help me, thanks.
