Facebook updates on N8 and internet being connecte...

Hi.
I called Nokia customer service on Wed/Thursday (My phone company instructed me to do this because of an issue i was having with the phone) and after explaining my problem, was told to follow the instructions I was given. Turns out, all this did was reset the phone to the original settings - NOT WHAT I WANTED AT ALL !!  Now, on the 'home screen' I can constantly see facebook updates. My contacts don't work properly - among other things!!  (Thanks customer service... not !). My problem was with my internet connection!
My concern is... because i'm seeing the facebook updates, does that mean my internet is running all the time? I certainly dont want to be charged for going over my monthly gig allowance because of something Nokia told me to do!  I'm not phone smart (obvioulsy) at all.  How do i stop these annoying facebook updates and make sure my internet isnt running unless i choose to connect?

It's unlikely it'll run you over your Interent allowance. I get 500MB and have facebook, emails etc delivered to my phone and generally use less than 100MB a month.
Being connected constantly does wear the battery down though so from the homescreen you can either press OPTIONS > Widgets OFFLINE (which doesn't work for me but it should?) Or remove FaceBook completely by OPTIONS > EDIT HOMESCREEN then tap the widget(s) you don't want and it should have the option to remove.
Think that should do it

    As long as the apps and ibooks are still available in the store, and you use the same iTunes account as you originally used to buy them, then you should be able to re-download them for free : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519

  • Why is my itunes trying to update my iphone and its not connected to the computer?

    This would be more for the technical side of the house, but why would the system try to update my iPhone and its not connected to the computer? is there a bug in the system?

    As of iOS 5 updates and sync can be done wirelessly, over Wi-Fi.

    Try a different USB 30-pin dock-connector cable.
    Eliminate third-party security software conflicts.

  • Playbook and internet dongle connectivity

    Can anyone tell me if it is possible to connect an internet dongle to the Blackberry playbook via the micro usb connection?
    any advice would be greatly appreciated

    You will need a router of some kind to share a USB cellular Internet dongle to create a hotspot. There are small ones available if you're a traveller: http://mobileoffice.about.com/od/mobileaccessories/tp/Top-7-Travel-Wireless-Routers.htm
    If you're trying to share a standard USB Wi-Fi dongle via MicroUSB (which doesn't make sense because the PlayBook has a Wi-Fi radio built in) then it can not be done currently because it lacks USB OTG (USB On the Go http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB_On-The-Go ) capability at this time. The driver is there apparently embedded within the OS but it does not work. No word on if ever it will gain this capability.

  • After downloading last update itunes and safari will not connect but mozilla and internet explorer does running windows vista

    Itunes and safari will not connect after installing the last update, but mozilla and internet explorer does.

    Close your iTunes,
    Go to command Prompt -
    (Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
    (Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
    In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
    netsh winsock reset
    Hit "ENTER" key
    Restart your computer.
    If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
    Now launch your iTunes, and see if it is working now.
    If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

  • Number of coaxial cable runs for TV and Internet

    Hello,I currently have Xfinity internet into my home. A single coax cable runs into my home through the conduit that was installed when the home was built. If I were to add Xfinity TV service with 3 rooms total, could I do it without needing to run another coax cable and utilizing the existing run? Can 1 coaxial cable run service both TV and Internet? I want to avoid having to run another cable from the outside of the house. The way the conduit was run makes it very difficult to tap into and I want to avoid making a hole on the side of the house. 

    As a non-technical person, I have noticed that most responses to the question about cable and internet being carried through the same coaxial cable fail to mention that the coax cable to use should be RG-6 when connecting to a cable modem.  I think most technical folks assume that's the cable in use, but I noticed that my Xfinity coaxial internet connection cable (installed many years ago) was slightly different than the cable they used to go from the other outlets to the TV cable boxes.  Upon further research, I found that the TV coax was RG-59 and would not support the internet signal being transmitted to a cable modem, only the RG-6 would work.  RG-6 is not expensive, just slightly more than RG-59, but if you're trying to move a modem and wireless router to another room and it doesn't work, that's probably the problem.
