Disabling data connection to 3G and GPRS

Hi,
I am using a Palm Treo Pro, and it automatically connects to 3G or GPRS when I try and open google map or internet explorer. I have tried switching data connection off in the comm manager, but it will connect to them automatically when I runs the applications. Is there anyway I am disble my phone from using 3G or GPRS unless I choose to?
Thanks.

opening internet explorer and accessing google maps requires data connection that's why it will always look for your network connection service such as 3G and GPRS.
however, if you want to disable them what you can use instead is wifi connections.
try to do the following:
Go to Start>Settings>Comm Manager
1. Turn on Airplane mode (it will disable automatically all other connections including your data connection which is grayed out)
2. Turn on Wi-Fi mode (it will automatically turn off airplane while retaining off state of the other connections. you will notice that data connection still stays grayed out)
3. Press Exit
4. Then tap ok
If you are near to your router or a hotspot, you will notice in the agenda view that your phone state is off but our wifi is on and connected to your wifi router.
you can still open and browse the web and connect to google maps.

  • E71 disable data connections on roaming

    is there a system setting or recommended application to disable data connections in roaming?
    on my other phone running android there is a switch on the menu and on top of that there is a switch app which disconnects connections and changes apn to prevent reconnecting.
    I'm looking for similar solution for nokia e71... thanks!

    i know about that but I do not want to be going to every application and making sure that it is configured not to use data...
    I want global system setting which cuts out internet connection.
    On android there is a nice program called apndroid which changes apn url temporarily and reverts back to original when you run it again. 
    I'm not familiar with programming on symbian but is there API access to apn settings so it could be changed by a script or software?

  • Disable Data Connectivity of Client User

    i need some help from u fellows. how can i disable the data connectivity of client users.

    In oracle to make a connection every user needs a username & password, and if you lock that user accout as Eric mentioned then he/she would not be able to make connection through any program like sqlplus or ODBC. By sitting in oracle you cant prevent a user to use MS-Access but in order to import the data from oracle to Access they need the login credentials in oracle to get the data and if you block that then they cant have access to the oracle data.

  • Phone an sim disabled says connect to itunes and input ime number

    it lit in red says connect to iTunes phone disabled..sim is locked as well

    Hey janalp,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    If your device displays a message saying it's disabled, follow this article. If the sim is locked you will want to see if it has a PIN to unlock it.
    iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
    if you never synced your device with iTunes, if you don't have Find My iPhone set up, or if you can't get to your own computer. You'll need to put your device in recovery mode, which will erase the device and its passcode. Then you'll restore your device as new or from a backup.

  • Data connectivity CR 9 and Oracle 11.2

    Dear Forum
    I have a quick question that i am sure someone will answer quickly.
    Is it possible to connect to a oracle 11.2g dbase using CR9. (we have a client who is still using cr9 They have just upgraded there dbase to 11.2)
    With Kind Regards
    Paul

    Hi,
    Unfortunately, CR 9 is not compatible with Oracle 11.2 as datasource. You can request your client to upgrade to Crystal Reports 2008 or latest CR 2011.
    Thanks,

  • Excel 2013 data connection to SharePoint list - charts won't update unless i manually refresh

    I have a list called 'donations', and a connected workbook stored in an SP Document Library. On my sitepages homepage, I put an excel web part connected to a chart called "Total Donations". 
    I'm storing the Data Connection file on a Windows shared drive and I've given my Excel service account R/O to that drive. I'm using the Secure Store Service for my data connection, and it's refreshing data (but only when I open the Excel document).
    I think this is because I've set the data connection properties to 'Enable background refresh', and 'Refresh data connection when opening', and 'refresh this connection on Refresh all'. 
    When I do a refresh from the web part on the home page, nothing updates :(  Anyone want to point me in the right direction?  I was going down the rabbit hole on PowerPivot services (thinking cannon to kill a fly), but couldn't find anything relating
    to this particular use case.
    P.S. I don't want to use the 2010 Chart Part because it's a POS.
    Anyway, any direction would be helpful.  Thanks.

  • Powerpivot 2012 on Excel 2010 - External Data connections not saving passwords, having to re-enter password EVERYTIME I refresh data

    Hey Guys,
    Using Excel 2010 with latest version of Powerpivot 2012 available 11.1.3129.0
    For my SQL Server Data connections in Powerpivot I DO NOT have any issue, when clicking refresh it never asks me to enter a password and uses my Windows AD info.
    However, for my plethora of other external data connections (Informix, Oracle, Etc...) that I would like to have fluid use within Powerpivot, big problems.
    Lets start with Oracle. Below is a screenshot of my connection tab within Powerpivot.
    So as you can see, all the details are entered and Allow Saving Password is selected. Now I will close out of Powerpivot and Excel completely and re-open. I will navigate to the Powerpivot tab
    and select Powerpivot Window. And then will select to "Refresh All" and am quickly prompted with the "Data Source Credentials" window to re-enter my data source password, again.
    What I have already tried. The above method for starters in which I use a connection string under Table Import Wizard --> Others (OLEDB/ODBC)... I found it the least annoying route, although
    still have to re-enter password everytime, which is what I hope this forum can help with.
    I also have tried doing a direct Oracle connection in Table Import Wizard but also does not eliminate my #1 problem.
    I have also created an ODC file to try and use that with stored credentials within the file, also still asks for password each and everytime.
    The same thing happens with my other data connections to Informix and DB2. So any help and/or suggestions anyone has would be great. I also cant upload these powerpivots to our powerpivot gallery
    on SharePoint 2010, I have a sneaking suspicion it is due to the version of powerpivot I am currently using.
    Thanks

    Hi there,
    My company is not using Excel 2013, only 2010. So that is what I have to work with. From what I have read this is a huge hole in the Powerpivot 2012 framework and is extremely frustrating. This seems so basic and simple and like something everyone using
    this product would use, and yet it still doesnt work.
    Great feedback. Connect is the right place for this feedback on 2010 as well. Thanks!

  • Lower case edge / data connection refused on BB 8800

    Hello, I need help to activate the data service. 
    I have a new unlocked T-Mobile BBerry 8800 bought from eBay. 
    When I inserted a sim card took from my Pearl 8100 it says data connection refused.
    I upgraded the OS and now the version 4.2.1.101 platform 2.3.0.80 is installed.
    The message "data connection refused" disappeared and replaced by the provider's name. But the problem remains exist. Indicator on the top right screen displays "edge" not "EDGE". (http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=KB02623&sliceId=SAL_Public&dialogID=141640847&stateId=0%200%2066797886)
    I took the sim card out and put it into Pearl 8100. Sim card works well, emails and net browser are just perfect. I reinserted it back into BB 8800, but nothing changed, "edge" signal appears, my web icon disapearead. The handheld is functioning no more than a mobilephone.
    The technical support staff had help me through this process. They gave up and concluded something wrong with the handheld.
    Can anyone please help? 

    I am not sure what provider u are with and I assume u must have a data pakage so u are able to access these services-what it means is that it isn't connecting with RIM and u must go thru RIM to acess these services is the simplest way I can put it LOL---any way to fix ( make sure u have at least 3 bars of signal strength) go to OPTIONS- ADVANCED OPTIONS-HOST ROUTING TABLE THEN HIT THE BUTTON TO THE LEFT OF THE TRACKBALL(menu button) click register now) this regisers u with RIM u will receive a message in your messages box----if this does't work take your battery off for a min and put it back on it refeshes anything new that was done on the network----hope this helps

  • N97 packet data connection on hold

    Good day,I have a N97 with an unlimited data plan. But I´m having a problem, when I receive or make call or send text message my phone show this message “packet data connection on hold”, and when I finish the call or sent the text message the phone shows  “Packet data connection active”. There is any way that I can change this? I want to have my data connection always active.Thanks in advance for your help
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    you would have to go into the settings - connectivity- the first tab is network - select this and it tells you network mode, select this and you can set it to dual mode - umts or gms only mode. if your phone was made for your region and it supports the frequency that the network provides then it should work in 3g if it does not which is possible then it will only work on edge
