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?

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 hanging Data connection after automatic email ...

Hello all,
My E71 seems to suffer from hanging Data Packet Connection after automatic email retreival.
So I configured my email IMAP4 retreival and set it to automatic retreival every 15 minutes.
Then after a few hours I check my phone and there is a data connection open and active. If I check the connections it is open for a few hours, sucking my battery.
What should I do to make it automatically disconnect after email retreival?
PS: I configured my packet data settings with "Data Packet connection only when needed"
Regards,
Menno

I found the only solution is to set the frequency of update to more than 30 minutes. This really is a problem since the next interval is 2 hours, not 1 hour like in other nokia devices. I don't believe that my nokia N series had this problem, either.
This is a SIGNIFICANT issue that needs to be fixed by nokia considering they want the e71 to be messaging/email device. It is very annoying to have to be prompted to close the data packet connection to do anything; i.e. make calls, use google maps, etc. Checking e-mails only once every 2 hours is obviously not a solution either.
Get on the ball nokia!

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.

E71 Wireless Data Connection

Hi, does anyone know the setup details for a wireless data connection for the E71 on the O2 network.
I would like to pair my E71 to my TomTom GO 530. The E71 is currently unsupported by the Go 53o but you have the option to pair other phones. I need the O2 access point details, username, password and DNS settings.
TomTom give default settings on their support pages but these do not work on my phone/TomTom GO 530.
Any advice would be welcome.

B.
Thanks for your reply as it provides some helpful ideas and confirms that my issue is not totally unique. However you are describe an isssue with wifi where as I do not seem to have the problem there. My home wifi network connection seems stable. I encounter the problem whith my phone companies wireless data connection. More interestingly (although I need to do more testing to be absolutely certain) is that it appears that when I loose my abilityt to receive data I do NOT loose voice capability.
As a specific example. I am surfing the internet in front of my house (not on my home network however) and get in the car to drive ten blocks to the grocery store. I get there and can't remember the groceries I was to buy so I attempt to check the recipe on-line but can get no connection to surf. I can however call home to ask or (to save a lecture) I could also turn airplane mode on and off and that would re-establish my data connection to my phone company.
It feels like if I could do what you have done for your home connection - only on at a provder level - all would be good.
Thanks for your help.

E71 Firmware Upgrage (200...) data connection / Ma...

Since upgrading the firmware on my E71 the data connection using either 3G or GPRS has become very unstable. This has made syncing Mail for Exchange a nightmare! Took 3 hours for it to update all the contacts, (there was 615 of them), and when in 'always on' mode it's continually dropping the connection.
Have tried reinstalling both the firmware and MfE, and has made no difference to the stability. Running MfE 2.7.0.
When going into the 'Download' folder it's also dropping the data connection which means the information has not yet been able to update.
Anyone else with the same problem?

OK, here it is -
- All Internet connections working fine before update (3G/Wifi)
- Used NSS - flashed E71 to generic Euro version so i can get update ver.400.21.013,instead of ver. 300.21.012
- Successful, All Internet connections working fine after NSS flashinge (3G/Wifi)
- Started up NSU to begin update. Update done successfully
- Internet connections NOT working anymore(3G/Wifi)
- Redid update, and restore without "Settings", PC hung, update not sompleted, Phone refused to start.
- Did 3 fingered trick, phone back to life.
- Redid update with NSU - Completed successsfuly
- Did restore - minus Settings
- 3G and Wifi not working
- Did reset *#7780# , and did restore again - minus settings/memory card. Still no joy
- Did reset *#7370# and restore minus settings/memeory card. Still not working
- Did reset (three fingered trick) and restore minus settings/memory card.
- Somewhere along the way, GPRS/3G working, but not Wifi.
- Initially getting "gateway not found", now "Wlan not found" errors msg
- Formated card, wiped phone memory clean, deleted all apps

Data connection abroad with roaming disabled

Hi to all,
I live in Italy and recently I stayed for 10 days abroad (Greece) for the Christmas holidays.
As always I put the ROAMING switch in the OFF position but my operator (TIM) charged me with connection costs deriving from data connection.
They told me that even if the data roaming is disabled some apps can still connect to the Internet (email app, background synchronization, and so on, ...)
Is it possibile?
Thank you,
Raffaele

I know that you can set a specific app to use background data or not,I do not know if you can manually set exactly what you want it to use.
All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us - J.R.R. Tolkien

Disable data roaming

How can I prevent data roaming when I go to a foreign country when I still want to keep the call roaming active?
When I search a new network in a foreign country, I find the nokia messaging look activate that cause me some data roaming charge. Any way I can disable all data connection except thru the wifi device I want.

I'm using 5800 under roaming for about five months now, I have never encountered a data roaming charge, when ever my phone tries to connect to a data network I get a warning about data roaming and I can simply prevent the connection by appropriate selection of the prompt message.
Anyways preventing the data roaming is not very hard in any symbian device, it's not very straight forward as other platforms though. You can always alter the destination setting (APN, by astound a junk piece at the end) so that your phone will not connect to data network (either on roaming our not).
Also new symbian has the one touch setting needed. My N8 allows me to select between data connection in home network, always and wifi only.

Disabling Data roaming on a Z30

Hi All,
I have managed to find instructions online for the Z10 but not the Z30.
We are a mobile sales provider and I have a customer asking for instructions to disable data roaming on the device. I was wondering if it was the same as the Z10.
The instructions I have put together are as follows:
1) Go into the settings menu --> Network Connections --> Mobile Network --> turn off under Data services while roaming.
Can anyone confirm if its the same for the Z30?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Yes, it's the same.

Nokia N96 roaming data connection

How can I disable all data connection when my nokia N96 roams to another provider?

That feature only exists on the application level on Nseries phones. For example, you can set e-mail or MMS auto-retrieval for your home network only.
There is no global setting for this.

Disable/Hide Data connection error pop ups in InfoPath 2010

Hi All ,
I am trying to hide/Disable Error Messages Shown by data connection error. I do not want user to see the error , rather I would check through rules and query the Data source again.
Is this scenario possible at all.
For ex: I have a data connection to user profile server , if it gives and error on form load , I do not want to see the error popup instead i will query the data connection again.
Thanks and Regards,
Nandini

Hello,
what would you expect to change between the first call to the data connection and the second call?
How would you "check through rules"?
I don't think the error message can be suppressed. If you don't want to query the data connection on form load, untick the box in the data connection settings.
cheers, teylyn

Data service on roaming disabled

My blackberry Z10 data service on roaming has been disabled. I am not able to click & view the options. Whereas the data service can be use when I put the SIM in other handsets.

Are your APN settings correct? Also, is this a SIM that came with the Z10, or one that originated on another phone?

How to enable greyed/disabled option "Enable background refresh in excel" in data connection properties

In Excel file,
Under what conditions, "Enable background Refresh" option will be disabled in Data Connection properties.
I got one file, which has this option disabled and I need to enable this option.
Please help

This property in the connection can only make sure the pivot table to refresh the PowerPivot data have already been loaded into PowerPivot from external data source rather than keep PowerPivot data the same as external data.

If You Are Locked Out Or Have Forgotten Your Passcode
iTunes 10 for Mac- Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
iOS- Understanding passcodes
     If you have forgotten your Restrictions code, then follow the instructions
     below but DO NOT restore any previous backup. If you do then you will
     simply be restoring the old Restrictions code you have forgotten. This
     same warning applies if you need to restore a clean system.
A Complete Guide to Restore or Recover Your iDevice (if You Forget Your Passcode)
If you need to restore your device or ff you cannot remember the passcode, then you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and re-sync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.
Try restoring the iOS device if backing up and erasing all content and settings doesn't resolve the issue. Using iTunes to restore iOS devices is part of standard isolation troubleshooting. Restoring your device will delete all data and content, including songs, videos, contacts, photos, and calendar information, and will restore all settings to their factory condition.
Before restoring your iOS device, Apple recommends that you either sync with iTunes to transfer any purchases you have made, or back up new data (data acquired after your last sync). If you have movie rentals on the device, see iTunes Store movie rental usage rights in the United States before restoring.
Follow these steps to restore your device:
     1. Verify that you are using the latest version of iTunes before attempting to update.
     2. Connect your device to your computer.
     3. Select your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch when it appears in iTunes under Devices.
     4. Select the Summary tab.
     5. Select the Restore option.
     6. When prompted to back up your settings before restoring, select the Back Up
         option (see in the image below). If you have just backed up the device, it is not
         necessary to create another.
     7. Select the Restore option when iTunes prompts you (as long as you've backed up,
         you should not have to worry about restoring your iOS device).
     8. When the restore process has completed, the device restarts and displays the Apple
         logo while starting up:
           After a restore, the iOS device displays the "Connect to iTunes" screen. For updating
          to iOS 5 or later, follow the steps in the iOS Setup Assistant. For earlier versions of
          iOS, keep your device connected until the "Connect to iTunes" screen goes away or
          you see "iPhone is activated."
     9. The final step is to restore your device from a previous backup.
If you can not restore your device then you will need to go to recovery mode.
Placing your device into recovery mode:
Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.
     1. Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but leave the other end
         of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
     2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the
         red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
          If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake
          and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release the Sleep/Wake
          and Home buttons.
     3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device.
         The device should turn on. Note: If you see the screen pictured below, let the device
         charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some charge, and then
         start with step 2 again.
     4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen.
         When this screen appears you can release the Home button.
     5. If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:
     6. Use iTunes to restore the device.
If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
Additional Information:
Note: When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup. See this article for more information.
