Disabling auto switch off Internet Sharing Lumia 7...

Is there anyway to disable the auto switch off of the auto switch off feature of the Internet Sharing on the Lumia 710?
The reason I ask, is that I want to set this up as my main Internet connection at home using the Three UK One Plan Unlimited Data plan with the phone linked via Internet Shaing to a range extender which all my family can then connect to but the Internet Sharing keeps switching off after a few minutes of inactivity.
This is obviously really annoying as I then have to go upstairs and turn on Internet Sharing again.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

There are two things you can try:
1) Keep the AC cable plugged in. It will not shut down WiFi when connected to AC, as the shutting down is a powermanagement feature as I understood.
2) Keep the screen on (unverified, just a thing you can try to keep the lock timeout to 'forever'. I believe this is related to the powermanagement as well.)

Can I use iPod Touch Wifi & Airtunes,without switching off Internet Sharing

I've got an Aiport Express connected to my stereo to stream my music library via Airtunes. It is away from my computer and does not have an internet connection hardwired to it. I would like to be able to use my iPod Touch to connect to the Airport Express, which would then wirelessly connect to the Airport Card in my mac, thus allowing the Touch to share the internet of my main computer.
Currently I can connect my Touch to the Airport card in my computer by turning on Internet Sharing, but when I do this, I lose the ability to stream my music to my Airport Express.
Can I somehow configure to stream music from my base computer AND surf the internet on my Touch via the Airport Express' wifi connection?
Thanks for any help!

Thanks Scott, Was thinking that might be the case, but was hopeful.
So, if I accept the fact that I can't use Airport Express to share internet that way, how about this related issue? I can connect my Touch by wifi to my computer's Airport Card by turning on Internet Sharing. However, when I do this I can no longer stream music from my computer's iTunes to my Airport Express connected to my stereo. The remote speakers disappear from the iTunes selection box. In order to get them back, I have to turn off internet sharing. And then Touch wifi stops working. Is there a reason that only once function would work at a time? Or do I have something configured incorrectly?
Thanks!

How can I disable auto-switching desktops?

I've long appreciated the spaces/mission control feature of OS X. However, it seems more oriented to organizing desktops by application rather than by project.
Like many users, I suspect, I use different desktops for different projects, each of which requires a variety of applications (finder, word docs, spreadsheets, etc). When I'm working on project 1 in desktop 1, I never want to be whisked away to desktop 2. In fact, I never want to be switched to a different desktop automatically. If I click on an application, I want it to open a new window for that application. If a new iteration of an app can't be opened (ie, Mail), I'd like it to pull Mail to me rather than send me off to it. Aren't apps supposed to come when we call, not the other way around?
I have unchecked "...switch to a space with open windows of that application" in System Prefences, but my desktop continues to auto-switch, especially with Finder.
In short: is there a way disable auto-switching entirely? I'd like to be able to assign windows and navigate manually without being constantly pulled away from the project I'm working on.
Thanks for the help; I really appreciate people spending their time helping others on forums like this one.

Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.
Isolating an issue by using another user account
If the problem is still there, try booting into the Safe Mode. Shut down the computer and then power it back up. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

N73 auto switch off during voice call

I know there's a topic about this auto switch off, but the reply didn't answer anything specific about this..
My N73 am using the latest firmware, the phone is superb, only if this problem doesn't occur.. It happen when I was in the middle of a conversation, and suddenly there's no voice on the other line, I tot it was my telco problem, and then when I was about to push the end call button, I only realise my phone has auto switch off itself.. Zzz.. This happen not once, but very frequently, and I'm puzzled cause sometimes I can chat for a very long time without a problem, and sometimes the auto off problem occurs many times in a day..
Anyone encounter this problem b4? Is there a fix to this? =(Message Edited by kaytse82 on 02-Jun-200707:18 AM

The best thing you can do is book the handset into a NSC for the handset to be checked out.

Can't turn off internet sharing

My brand new MacBook Pro has been working perfectly--until out of the blue internet sharing turns on everytime I boot up. I have never used internet sharing and certainly don't want to now, because I can't use my wireless network with it on.
My internet connection has been working flawlessly and I made no changes whatsoever (it simply was on once after booting up, and now is on forever), but I CAN'T turn off internet sharing. In my internet sharing preference panel it says that internet sharing is already off, but my airport menu bar says it is on. This is becoming most irritating. Any suggestions?

Are you sure this is not just a neighbour's wireless network?

CK-7W AUTO SWITCH OFF

Hi all, be gentle it's my first time!
Am having an issue with the CK-7W in that it will auto switch off itself and the phone in the cradle after a minute or two of the ignition being turned off.
Can this be fixed by not connecting the ignition sense cable on installation?
Have 8 of these car kits and it would be helpful if we know what to tell the installer next time round!
Cheers, L

Yes you can disconnect the blue wire & that will dissable auto turn off, it actually says in the instuction that you dont have to connect the blue wire because the kit will shut down if not connected to a phone for over 2 mins. I would only reconmend this if you have cradles in the car because if you have keep pairing and disconnecting the Bluetooth connection it will become a pain in the butt. It will only drain you battery if you connect the blue wire to a constant power source like the red wire.

If you enter device manager, right click, and select Scan for hardware changes, is the wireless adapter detected?
You may want to start by installing the latest drivers available from HP for your device. Some notebooks will have a separate driver set for buttons and switches that may re-enable this functionality, or an updated driver for the wireless adapter may include
updates that allow the adapter to be seen following the automatic switch.

E52 Auto Switch Off

Dear All,
I bought a New E52 Mobile, till last week it was working fine. But then my mobile started to switch off often. Can anyone help me on this.
Regards,
Shagul

Try changing your network to GSM <b>or</b> UMTS <b>not</b> Dual mode in Tools/Settings/Phone/Network.
This worked for me. Not sure why dual network should be causing auto shutdowns. Which carrier are you on?

Turn off internet sharing.

Now My Ibook says my internet sharing in on but in my sharing folder under internet is says it is off. How can I resolve and get back to my reg. network??

I've got a similar problem - but can't find where to delete the computer-to-computer network. I've deleted some locations (foolishly perhaps)... but am in a bit of a muddle.
I created the computer to computer network before setting up airport properly on my powermac - which was stupid - but now both my laptops are working fine (using airport to connect to the internet), but the powermac won't work at all with the airport. It says that internet sharing is on in the status bar, but off when in preferences. And even on, it won't share the internet with the others and neither can i use airport admin or airport utility - because of this internet sharing problem.
is there any way i can start again?
help!

6310 with CARK-91; Auto Switch Off Possible?

Hey All
My dad has a BMW with the CARK-91 kit, and used to use a Nokia 6210. When he would turn the car on and off, the phone would follow by switching its power automatically; when switching the ignition off, it would come up with "Phone will power off if not used".
Unfortunately the 6210 broke so he now has a 6310. All works fine, except that it wont switch off; it seems strange that this feature isn't available as the phone will just sit there with its lights on ad infinitum.
Does anyone know if this is available? A guy at Vodafone said it is available with a software upgrade but it seems silly since the older 6210 had it.
Thanks in advance!

Very odd. 6310 has long been a defunct phone so I cant easily examine its menu (nor can I remember anything usefull)
You might try selecting default factory settings or exploring the menu/manual. More recent phones ( eg 6230) have a menu option to ignore the ignition key. I dont remember that with 6310 but I dont remember a heap of stuff these days.
Upgrading software version should cost you nothing at a service centre (most cities/bigger towns) If you don't have one close then phone one and they will be able to advise you how to check your phones version and if there are any usefull updates available.
