My N82 is always connected to WAP, is this normal?

Hi there, I am on 02 and just got a new Nokia N82. I have noticed that there is always a packet data connection made to '02 Postpay WAP'. If I hold in the red key it asks me if I want to disconnect the data connection and when I select yes, it starts the connection again moments later and at the top left of the screen under the signal bar, there are 2 arrows pointing away from eachother with the letter "E" above it. Also whenever I finish a call I get a message saying 'packet data connection active' which is annoying me. Is this normal behaviour for the phone? When I went into active connections is says that the connection to 02 wap has been made for x amount of hours, and i never turn the phone off so it's always connected. Also it shows that data has been transfered and this worries me as I only get 1Mb allowance of WAP per month before I am charged for it. Any help on this issue would be much appreciated.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

It does this to allow you to connect quicker. It shouldn't be costing you anything in data but it may be slightly reducing battery life.
You can change it's behaviour in the following menu:
Menu > Tools > Settings > Connection > Packet Data > Packet Data Connection
Change it from "When Available" to "When Needed".
If this has no effect it could be another program running in the background thats causing the connection to stay open. The most common cause is email software.

  • New connection very slow - is this normal ?

    Hi
    I just had option 3 broadband installed today but seem to be stuck on an IP profile of 2 Mbps. It was supposed to be 6-8, probably 7 Mbps.
    The line is clean and I tried the quiet line and it was very quiet.
    I understand there's a 10 day bedding in period, but wouldn't it start high and go down from there ?
    How long will I have to wait at 2 Mbps ?
    Cheers

    2mb is the starting point. You need to stay connected 24/7 for next 10 days as that is initial training period. if still 2mb after training then come back to the forum. Bt will not help during training period

  • In 2 Node RAC clients always connect to Node 2...

    Dear all,
    I have installed RAC 10gR2 on Oracle Enterprise Linux Version 4 Update 5. ASM as storage option on iscsi shared storage.
    In Enterprise Manager I can see 2 instance are UP! i can connect to oracle from any one of the node. All services are running fine on both nodes.
    But when i connect to RAC database from any client machine it always connect to the second node where database instance BSS2 is running and never connects to BSS1.
    I use this query to check which instance:
    SELECT
    instance_name
    , host_name
    , NULL AS failover_type
    , NULL AS failover_method
    , NULL AS failed_over
    FROM v$instance
    UNION
    SELECT
    NULL
    , NULL
    , failove_type
    , failover_method
    , failed_over
    FROM v$session
    WHERE username = 'SYSTEM';
    My tnsnames.ora contains the following entry:
    ORA_DEVP, ora_devp.world =
    (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 192.168.0.63)(PORT = 1521))

    (DELAY = 5)
    I dont know why id do not connect to Node 1. RAC is running but the very basic feature is missing in my configuration. Kindly help.
    Regards, Imran

    Well, looking at this query more connections are on node 2 while very few are on node 1. Maybe this is because of instance load balancing BUT clinets are connecting to both nodes.
    Thanks Jonathan.
    Another thing is that i can not establish Transfer Application Failover (TAF) between the node, like if i am connected to node 2 from a client machine and when i stop instance running on node 2 and again try to run query from client it lost connection. Infact it should have transfered to node 1 instance.
    Following is the entry on my tnsnames.ora file on both node (same on both nodes)

  • Always Connected Client

    Hi Experts,
    I am getting started with the Netweaver Mobile - always connected
    is there any client to install on my PDA .... isn't it the same as occasionally connected or it is different??
    please clear it to me

    Hi Ahmed,
    Occasionally connected clients and Always connected clients are different. 
    Always connected clients enables the users to directly access the business application online using mobile devices such as pocket PCs and Blackberry wireless handhelds.
    You can refer the below link to get more details on always connected clients.

  • Always connect to Airport Extreme

    I've got the following setup:
    - One Airport Extreme in my living room connected to the internet
    - One Airport Express next to it for Airtunes (set to join the Airport Extreme's network)
    - One Airport Express in my study (set to extend the Airport Extreme's network)
    When I'm in my bedroom (on the far end of my house), my iPhone can barely connect to the Extreme. So that's why I bought another express to extend the network. This works great.
    But now my iMac (located in my study) is always connecting to this Airport Express. Probably because it is right besides it. The internet speeds are about 10mbps when my iMac is connected through the Express, and 40-45mbps when it is connecting to the Extreme. So the connection to the Airport itself may be better, but the actual internet connection is a lot worse!
    Is there any way to force my iMac to connect the the Airport Extreme? Or maybe someone has another solution?

    Thank you Bob! I've tried this and it seemed to be working.
    Still, my iMac should be able to do this automatically. But apperently it just looks for the closest Airport, while it should be looking for the fastest connection to the base station.
    My iMac can choose between the following connections:
    - Airport Express: Which reaches a max download speeds of 10mbps
    - AEBS: 2.4 ghz: Which reaches a max download speeds of 40mbps
    - AEBS 5ghz: Which reaches a max download speeds of 50mbps
    And it chooses the absolute worst. Even when I disconnect the Airport Express, it refuses to connect to the 5GHZ connection and goes with the slower 2.4GHZ.

  • Backing up an external HD that's not always connected?

    I just bought a Time Capsule to backup my MacBook and an external HD. I've set up Time Machine to backup the MacBook and external HD. But the external HD isn't always connected to my MacBook. When Time Machine runs its hourly backups, if at that moment the external HD is not connected, it backs up just the contents of my MacBook.
    I've just started this process, rather than learn by trial and error I'm hoping some of you have already done something similar and can share your experience. I have a couple of concerns:
    1) If Time Machine backs up my MacBook (MB) and external hard drive (EHD) and then, on a second run, with the EHD disconnected, backs up only the MB, the next time a backup runs while the EHD is connected, will it have to start all over again copying all of the contents of the EHD? Or can it recognize the EHD content which is unchanged from the last time it did a backup with the EHD connected?
    2) When Time Machine runs out of space and starts deleting old backups, is there a risk that this way I could lose a backup copy of the EHD? For example suppose Time Machine backs up my MB and EHD. Then say for a couple of weeks I don't connect the EHD and meanwhile TM keeps doing backups and runs out of space. When it throws out the oldest backups, if none of the more recent ones contain data from my EHD, do I thereby lose that backup data?
    Apologies in advance if this question has already been answered elsewhere. I've tried searching for answers but all my searches on "time machine external hard drive" just turn up results about using TM to back up to an external HD or else talk about what format a drive needs to be in order to get backed up via TM.
    p.s. I use the EHD to store, among other things, my iTunes library. So in practice I rarely go more than a day of using the MacBook without turning on the EHD. Still, I'd like to understand how TM manages backing up of drives that aren't always available.
    Thanks,
    Ben Ellis

    it's supposed to be smart and recognize the old backups and not redo the entire backup of the EHD in such situation. but sometimes TM does not do that for whatever reasons (=bugs). hopefully it won't affect you.
    2) When Time Machine runs out of space and starts deleting old backups, is there a risk that this way I could lose a backup copy of the EHD? For example suppose Time Machine backs up my MB and EHD. Then say for a couple of weeks I don't connect the EHD and meanwhile TM keeps doing backups and runs out of space.

    yes, in that scenario you will loose all backups of the EHD. that's why you need to make sure that your TM drive is big enough and has plenty of space to store incremental backups so that this is unlikely to happen. and back up the external regularly.
    Apologies in advance if this question has already been answered elsewhere.

  • HT4199 My iphone has always connected automatically without problem to the wifi network at work, i.e.BTBusinessHub, and at home, i.e.Bthomehub. Now it tries to connect at work but doesnt manage it although it still works at home. Can anyone advise why?

    My iphone has always connected automatically and without problem to the wifi at work i.e. BTBusinesshub and at home BTHomehub but yesterday it would not connect at work. It is ok at home but again today at work it is not connecting. It appears to try but is not connecting, please help.

    You can try doing a reset, hold down the home/power button until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up - then check wifi - if that doesn't work then
    do a network reset note:  you will have to reenter wifi password again when your in range.
    settings - general - reset - reset network settings.  If that doesn't work then I would talk to your IT dept.

  • My Sony Cybershot has always connected directly to iPhoto, but I must have changed a setting somewhere, and now it opens in Finder. Very frustrating to have to locate and then drag pics to iPhoto. Would I reset in the camera menu or in System Preferences?

    My Sony Cybershot has always connected directly to iPhoto, but I must have changed a setting somewhere and now it opens in Finder. Very frustrating and I can't find where to change the settings - camera menu or Mac Preferences. Any advice?? Thanks

    No, not in iPhoto, but instead in Finder (only). I've tried going into the camera menu and making sure it's set on Mass Storage, but no difference. Then I tried Auto - but also no difference.

  • Always Connected Means What, Exactly?

    I've heard the term "always connected" bandied about with respect to version 8 "Professional". What does that mean?

    Sounds like marketing hype to me. I will take a guess that they are referring to the fact that it is web based and therefore can be accessed from most any internet connected device (smartphone/tablet/laptop/etc...).

  • My iPod used to always connect to the WiFi at home but now it doesn't. What can I do?

    My iPod used to always connect to the internet at home but now it does not. What can I do?

    Try the following:
    Restart your WiFi router by removing power to it for 30 seconds.
    On your iPod Touch use Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings.
    If this does not work test your iPod on some other networks, e.g., Starbucks, etc. If it doesn't work there it may have developed a hardware problem.

  • The wifi is always connected even when screen is off.

    The wifi is always connected. Earlier the wifi connection used to get disconnecetd after few minutes if phone is not used. I wish which of the settings are to be used so that wifi gets off automatically if phone is not used.

    Wifi will turn off, or go to sleep when the phone goes into sleep mode unless the phone is actively using wifi for something, such as downloading. It will remain connected if the device is plugged into power.
    What makes you think the wifi is "always connected"?
