C3-01 Packet Data explanation needed

Can someone explain how the packet data function works on the C3-01 and what all the submenus under the connectivity menu mean.  The manual does not cover any of this.  I only want to connect via WiFi and do not want the phone to be able to access or download any data via GSM at all.

 Go into Settings.  Go into Configuration.  Go into Personal Configuration Settings.  Now, press Add New (visible if you don’t have a previous Personal Setting created) or press the Options button. When you have pressed the Options button, choose Add new.  When you have pressed Add New, you will get a new menu, which will give several options to choose from.  Now, scroll down and choose the Access Point and press Select. (Please note that this option is not available on the Nokia 3220 model and maybe on some more models, you can instead use the Services option instead of the Access Point option on the Nokia 3220.) Do not choose the Web option, since this will not work with Opera mini.  Now go into Access Point Settings.  Go into Bearer Settings.  Go into Packet Data Access Point.  Now, enter you APN address corresponding to your provider. Then press OK.  Go back to the Personal Configurations Settings menu, where you now should be able to see an Access Point selected.  Now press the Options button, and then choose to activate this Access Point.  Now you should be able to start Opera Mini, and all other internet based applications.

  • N80 & Orange packet data

    I wonder if anyone else has had the same experience as I've had, I was just playing with my Orange N80 and when I looked in the log file I found the data counter had registered all sent data as 3.05MB and all received data as 4.72MB and all I'd done was look on Orange world a few times and checked out the sport on BBC mobile - which I know is very economical on data, however when I first got the phone I was trying out the camera and didn't realise that my pictures were being uploaded to Orange until I turned off the album feature but there weren't many photo's anyway but at £1. or so a MB this could get very expensive! I called Orange who, whilst being very polite, couldn't help very much other than to advise me to check my next bill and reset the data counter and compare the following bill! Anyway, I've since turned off just about everything as Orange seem to set all connections to a default setting of always on and I now get prompted for any connection other than for calls and sms which has the added bonus of increased battery life - not much mind but still better. Now call me cynical if you will but how many people will run up huge data bills before they realise they need to change the default settings to off which,imho, should the case anyway. Since turning off the packet data, online album etc though, I experience less problems with the handset too!

    Just mention my findings on this
    I too myself have seen a high amount of data being classed as transmitted via orangeinternet even though I have my accesspoint set to my home network, set the connection to only when needed and also changed the softkey menu so now says camera instead of home.
    I rang orange about this and advised I was not happy the phone stated I had transfered 3mb of data in less than 2 days of using the phone, and that I don't use their webpages and if checked previous bills they would know this. I have been told that so far no data is being shown as being used, and when get my bill it will be looked into then if I am charged for anything.
    Incase you may not know if you dont have the internet package you will be charged £10 per mb from orange.
    I think I have now found out what the problem is, if you connect the data cable to the pc it will go into offline mode and you can transfer whatever you want. The minute you unplug the cable you go back into online mode and the orangeinternet automatically connects and whatever you have transfered by cable gets added to the orangeinternet connection.
    Hopefully when get bill I should be able to dispute any charges for this, especially as I've phoned them about it.

  • "Subscribe to Packet Data First" (Bit of feedback)

    I recently bought a Nokia 6021, which offers Bluetooth connectivity and E-mail function (send and retrieve). I got some setup advice Forum members.
    Bluetooth was easy to set up, and I now use the phone in the car with a handsfree unit, which clips on the sun visor.
    Very satisfactory.
    E-mail was (much) more difficult to set up.
    I kept getting an error: "Subscribe to Packet Data First".
    It turned out that the fundamental problem lay in the fact that Vodafone Support had incorrectly given me the settings for a "Contract SIM card" when in fact I operate mine as a "Pay-As-You-Talk SIM card".
    Specifically they got me to insert "Internet" as one of the Bearer Settings parameters - when it should actually be "pp.vodafone.co.uk". "pp" indicates PrePaid.
    So watch that point, all you PAYT Users!
    It wasn't a 6021 problem ... it was a question of identifying the right kind of SIM card.
    Incidentally, when the 6021 retrieves e-mails, if the message is too big (I think above 100k), it fetches the message header, with sender's ID, etc., so that you can identify who has e-mailed you even if you can't read their message/file. Suits me perfectly.
    Thanks for the advice I got from Forum members.
    Best regards - Charles

  • N95 WLAN Browsing Costs and Packet Data

    I have recently purchased an N95 and am accessing the Internet via my home Wireless Network provided by Virgin Media instead of using the standard Access Point provided by the Mobile Operator i.e. Orange Internet - by doing this, I assume I would incurr no charges from Orange when surfing the Internet as I am using my own Broadband connection?
    A seperate question, but related, how does the Packet Data transfer work? My default Access Point for this is Orange Internet, is this a different thing to the WLAN Access Point i.e. my Home Network or is is related? Does the Packet Data work when I'm connected to the Internet or is it mainly for messaging etc? Should I change the default Access Point for this to my Home Network or leave it as it is i.e. Orange Internet?

    Hi sj219706
    In answer to your first question, there are no further costs incurred using WLAN with your Virgin Media Broadband connection.
    With regards your second question it depends a little upon how generous your GPRS = General Packet Radio Service data allowance with Orange is.
    Can I use Nokia Maps application as an example? Unless disabled an active network connection is needed, this may either be through GPRS(Orange) or WLAN(Virgin Media). If you are within range of your WLAN this is your preferred access point.

    You must first set up your phone configuration. Either by order setting (click here: https://nokiags.wdsglobal.com/standard?siteLanguageId=118 and follow the instruction) or use your default setting (already available on your phone)

  • How do I subscribe to packet data first on my Noki...

    I am trying to get onto the wap using a Nokia 7373 i have has my settings set via Nokia but its saying ' subscribe to packet data first' what is this and how do i do it?
    Many Thanks

    Once you are downloading and installing the GPRS from your Service Provider you are subscribing the Packed Data. The full form of abbreviated GPRS = General Packed Data Radio Service. Your problem is a problem with "Configuration" in the Handset. All you need to select NO from PERSONAL CONFIGURATION SETTING by following the path : Main Menu>Settings>Configuaration>Personal Configuration Settings.
    Input Data : Personal Account  : JAVA    click the java
    Home Page : www.google.co.in
    User Name : ppp
    Password : ppp123
    Use Preferred access point : YES
    NOW GO BACK TO CONNECTIVITY Menu item.
    Select : Packet  Data
    CLICK THE ITEM    : PCKET DATA SETTING 
    Put against Active  Access Point : Data Bearer  Packet Data                                                         Put against the item 'Alias for access  point'  :  Data Bearer Packed Data.                                 Put against item 'PACKET DATA ACCESS POINT' :  gprseast.cellone.in

    TO ANYONE EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM I HAVE FOUND A SOLUTION!!!!!
    I have had this phone for a week and the WLAN has been very problematic!
    To stop the phone from connecting to the GPRS instead of using the WLAN you must...
    - Change all the settings to 'ASK FIRST', this includes the internet connection under connectivity and within the saved WLANS, each must have ask first selected.
    - You must edit the packet data settings (under connectivity), it must say 'when needed' and then you must change the access point to a different point, e.g. Access point , then edit this access point, the alias can be anything (it is just a name), but the access point must be changed to the WLAN access point you are trying to connect to.
    To find this access point code you must go to ...
    Menu - settings - connectivity - WLAN - available wlans - then click edit on the WLAN you want to use. Look under 'Access point MAC', this should be a long list of numbers and letters separated by colons e.g. 1A:2B:3C:4D:5E:6E.
    This works at home because you can save the WLAN and use the preferred access point, to make this work for 'hot spots' you will probably have to write down the access point code from the WLAN you want to use and create a new access point and change access points when you are using a different connection.
    This works by saving specific access points to available WLAN locations.

  • Sorting serial packet data into queues

    I am receiving serial packet data which originates from different sensor nodes in a network. Each sensor node
    has a unique ID which is sent in the packet. The idea is to display the data in one chart and choose which sensor data to display
    by using a cluster of booleans. I was thinking of using queues to buffer the data from single nodes, so for a network of 12 nodes 
    I would need 12 queues and use a simple case structure to decide to which queue the element should be enqueued. Does this approach 
    make sense or is there a simpler way to solve this problem? 

    That seems reasonable.  You certainly need 12 of something for the data from the separate sensors. If the number of sensors can change, a 2D array might be better because you do not need to duplicate anything (such as adding another queue) to add a sensor.  However, arrays must be rectangular so if different amounts of data are received from different sensors, some method of keeping track what data is valid for each sensor will be required. The data from each sensor could be in a different row.
    You probably want to use a graph, not a chart.  When you switch the display to a different sensor, you just wire that array row for that sensor to the graph.  Charts have an internal hsitory buffer and would be much more complicated to switch.

  • N97 mini constant pop-up msg "Packet data: Packet ...

  • Feature request - Disable packet data

    I would like to make a feature request for the otherwise awesome phone Nokia Asha 302. You have done a great job there, the phone is very nice and popular.
    Can you please make an additional setting, so that we can DISABLE packet data completely? Currently, only two options are available - 'when needed' and 'always on'.
    I see a lot of people are using different bizzare techniques to overcome a basic problem - there is no setting to disable packet data. Why there isn't, is beyond me, and as far as I can tell - beyond a lot of people. It is most intuitive to make it 'yes' and 'no' in the first place, but engineers made it 'yes' and 'yes, please' instead, which does not make any sense. It is a source of MAJOR frustration and inconveniences - applications fire up the internet and keep it always on, leading to battery drain and unwanted bandwidth charges.
    So, can you please implement 3 states in Settings - Connectivity - Packet data:
    - always on
    - when needed
    - disabled
    I would go even further and ask to make a shortcut (like WiFi and Bluetooth) and a dedicated hardware key, since I think it is a base setting that needs to be easily accessible.
    Please do it as soon as possible, since it is a major shortcomming, and make a release immediately. My phone is Asha 302, but I think all S40 users are complaining of the same.
    Thank you very much and hope you will consider it.
    If other users also think it is important, please star this message.

    Yes, this is a feature which is definitely required.
    It will reduce power consumption by a lot, and also save us valuable bandwidth.
    Please consider implementing it. If there is a new release, please let us know.

  • N86 Poor Battery - Packet Data Issue

    Hi
    I have owned my Nokia N86 since July 09; what a great mobile phone apart from its appalling battery life. The tech specs say 15 days but I only get 3 days standby at most even as a very very light user. Often the battery life will drop instantly from ½ bars to zero when I open a GPS app.
    I have set up all the power saving options mentioned in other thread but I have identified an issue with the battery draining Packet Data from Vodafone. I end packet data, by holding the red key, each time I close the sider & the packet data symbol below the signal strength bar goes away. However, when I open the slider & unlock the phone I notice the Packet Data is turned back on.
    My Packet Data is set up for 'when needed'; unlocking the slider does not mean I need it! Has anyone found a way around this & is my battery life as bad as other peoples? I can’t afford to own a phone which will die on me just as I need to make an urgent call.
    Cheers
    As an aside when will Nokia finally update its firmware so when I close a program it actually closes & does not go into the background wasting battery life!

    PROBLEM IDENTIFIED BUT NOT SOLVED.
    I took my N86 into a Nokia Care Center and found the source of my poor battery life and why packet data keeps turning back on after I turn it off:
    'Vodafone Internet GPRS keeps reconnecting automatically as it is set for 3G. Other mobile networks allow you to turn 3G off when not needed.'
    Found by: settings-connection-destinations-internet-vodafone internet GPRS.
    So the ball of blame is now in Vodafones court to change their software & let users deselect 3G when required. Nokia still need to fix the firmware so battery drain/gauge is more accurate & linear.
    Any work arounds would be appreciated as at the moment this issue has reduced my battery life by ~80%.
    Cheers

    You need to get your service provider to activate GPRS and availability can vary between contract and PAYG service.

  • Nokia X2-03 - packet data help!

    I have recently bought the Nokia X2-03 and cannot connect to the internet.
    Every time I try to connect to the internet it keeps coming up with "subscribe to packet data first" so can anyone help me fix this problem? Please! 

    High most likely you don't have the needed settings. It might also be that using the network to browse internet isn't activated either. Depends on operator and what subscription you have.
    In any case you will have to contact your service provider/operator to get the settings or activate internet through in your subscription if thats possible.
    Call them or visit their website as usually most service providers offers settings to be ordered on their website. U will most likely get them as a text message.

    Hi jahjaman
    It sounds like you might need to give your network a call and check that you actually have GPRS packet data enabled on your phone.
