How can I monitor the active access point + data c...

My privider (o2 Germany) requires me to use different access points (APN, proxy) on my phone (N80) depending on the type of browsing I want do do (WAP vs. "normal" access), and each of them has a "high cost trap" if I use the wrong one for the particular service.
Very annoying - up to the point that I consider not using the phone for online access at all because I'm so scared to run into uncontrollably high fees.
Anyways. I wonder if there is add-on software for my phone that helps me monitor my data connection, i.e.:
* show me the currently used access point at the top of the display (yes, I know I can go into some deep menus to look it up, but that's not very helpful or even easy to use)
* automatically disconnect when the conn is idle for a while (One of the data modes is time-based, meaning I do not want to have it open all the time by accident)
Currently, all I can see at the top of the display is that I have a data connection at all, but that does not give me enough information to know I'm in the right mode for what I'm doing.

You can force a disconnect by pressing the red/hangup key for a couple of seconds when the phone is in the standby state.
And in menu > Tools > Settings > Connection > Packet data change the setting "Packet data conn." to "When needed" and leave the "Access point" setting there to "None".
When you or apps on your phone are not doing any data transfer, then regardless of whether it is a WAP or "full" Internet packet data connection, you should not cumulate any charges.
You can also move the Connection Manager app from the Tools submenu to the main menu, or even to the Active standby apps list (or the softkeys) for quicker access. No need to deep dive into menus for it then.
And for individual apps, you can usually set the default access point to whatever is best to use for that particular app. For the browsers ("Web" and "Services") you can also make them ask you to pick the access point every time you connect.

  • How can we disable the OSX Access Point functionality without disabling all wifi.

    Curious if anyone knows a way in Lion/Mountain Lion to disable the OSX access point features.
    i have about 50+ macs in our company for iOS development. lately we've had a lot of rogue AP's showing up, people bridging the internal network by activating the "become a hotspot" feature in OSX. this is a *GREAT* feature, don't get me wrong. especially the latency and ease of use.. but in our case its causing problems, and i'm looking at a way to disable the AP features without disabling ALL wifi with something like.
    /usr/sbin/networksetup -setairportpower en1 off
    this is a bit too much ,it disables the entire airport/wifi. we want to only disable the access point capabilities.
    any hardcore guru's out there have some advise?
    TIA!

    Enabling sharing services requires administrative access, so one option is to set this and only give folks standard "managed" access. The Internet Sharing service is a process called "InternetSharing" that runs as the root user and establishes all the appropriate services for the needed connection. You could technically remove or even rename this process on systems to prevent it from being used, or remove or disable its launch daemon. These files are in the following directories:
    /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.InternetSharing.plist
    /usr/libexec/InternetSharing

  • How can I monitoring the usage of an index in oracle 8i

    Dear Gurus,
    I known the Oracle 9i have this new feature "Identifying Unused Indexes" via ALTER INDEX MONITORING USAGE, but how can I monitoring the index usage in the Oracle 8i?
    Regars

    You can't in 8i. However you can look at the SQL Text in the SGA looking for anything that matches the table name that the index is for and then look at the explain plan for the selects and updates. Pain in the xxx to do but it should give you the information.

    How do i ensure the new access point is joined the controller or not

    To Verifying that Access Points Join the Controller or not there are two ways as below.
    Please go through the step by step to find the APs joined state
    When replacing a controller, you need to make sure that access points join the new controller.
    Using the GUI to Verify that Access Points Join the Controller
    Follow these steps to ensure that access points join the new controller.
    Step 1 Follow these steps to configure the new controller as a master controller.
    a. Click Controller > Advanced > Master Controller Mode to open the Master Controller Configuration page.
    b. Check the Master Controller Mode check box.
    c. Click Apply to commit your changes.
    d. Click Save Configuration to save your changes.
    Step 2 (Optional) Flush the ARP and MAC address tables within the network infrastructure. Ask your network administrator for more information about this step.
    Step 3 Restart the access points.
    Step 4 Once all the access points have joined the new controller, configure the controller not to be a master controller by unchecking the Master Controller Mode check box on the Master Controller Configuration page.
    Using the CLI to Verify that Access Points Join the Controller
    Follow these steps to ensure that access points join the new controller.
    Step 1 To configure the new controller as a master controller, enter this command:

  • Moving adobe 9 standard from 1 machine to another. How can I find the activation code on the old machine to activate on new machine

    moving adobe 9 standard from 1 machine to another. How can I find the activation code on the old machine to activate on new machine?

    You didn't really clarify much, just repeated the same question. First of all, Adobe is a company with many products.
    Are you talking about Adobe Acrobat? If so you need to deactivate it on the old machine and then use enter the serial-number (as described) when installing it on the new machine. It will then activate itself automatically over the internet. Just keep in mind that Acrobat 9 is not compatible with Windows 8 and to make it compatible with Windows 7 you have to update it to at least version 9.2 after the installation.

  • CS3: Rotated page item: How can I get the top-right point

    Hi
    I have a rotated page item. Now I should have the top-right and the bottom left point. If I get the rectangle of this page item I only have the top-left and the bottom-right point. And I can read the rotation angle.
    - How can I get the missing points?
    Thanks
    Hans

    Algorithmically speaking (ie, this is NOT real code), isn't it just something like:
    if page.rotationAngle == 90 then
    origTopLeft = (newBottomRight.Y, newTopLeft.X);
    else if page.rotationAngle == -90 then
    origTopLeft = (newTopLeft.Y, newBottomRight.X);
    else if page.rotationAngle == 180 then
    origTopLeft = newBottomRight;
    else
    origTopLeft = newTopLeft;

  • How can we monitor the audio after the cleanup process before we actually record the trans

    I have the Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS board and I am using it to transfer vinyl records to make CDs. Before my upgrading of Creative Media Source 2 to Creative Media Source 5, I was able to monitor the audio after the cleanup prior to the transfering process. Now I can only monitor the sound at the line input point and not after the cleanup process. Is there any way that we can do that?Vinylrecord

    Assuming you mean Actions when you say "Batches", use this menu...
    1.  Click on the name of the actions set you wish to save.
    2.  Click the fly-out menu icon at the upper-right corner.
    3.  Save Actions, put them someplace on your hard drive other than in the Photoshop installation area.

    You can't delete an account, you can only stop using it.  If you're getting that error message you won't be able to create a new account on your device.  Your only options are to re-use one of the accounts previously created, or create a new account on a different iOS device or Mac (running OS X Lion or higher), if you have one.

    Is the iPad running iOS 7? If it is and you are getting the activation lock you must get the former users Apple ID and password in order to activate it. This is iOS 7 anti theft feature.
    If you cannot, you have a brick in your hands.

  • How can I change the User Password expiry date

    Hi,
    I want to know how can I change the password expiration date of my user without changing his password. For eg:-
    User password expires on 12th May 2007. I want to extend to 12th Jun 2007. Is there any option in Oracle.
    Alter User <USERNAME> password expire .....<to new date>;

    The command is not alter user set expire...
    You should modify the user's profile, and set a timeframe:
    ALTER PROFILE DEFAULT LIMIT
    PASSWORD_LIFE_TIME = num_of_days;
    This way your password will be valid from the last time it was changed and for the time frame previously defined.

  • How can I make the sort default "by date" in iPhoto?

    On one of my computers, every time I load an event, it goes to the top of the library and I have to go to "sort/by date" to get it to go to the end or bottom of the library...where I want it.
    On my other computers, the default seems to be "by date" normally....
    How can I make the default sort option "by date?"
    Thanks.

    I am not by that computer now.  But that makes sense.
    I combine events that are imported into that iPhoto.  I suppose that would qualify as manually sorting....right?
    Still, shouldn't there be a way to overide that and make "date" the default.  That is, if your observation is correct.
    (I'll take a look tomorrow....)
    Thanks!!
