Nokia 5233: log shows unwanted GPRS packet connect...

About two months ago I noticed, on the log, a big number of GPRS - Internet connections that happen at random times. I've seen them in the middle of the night (3:00-4:00 AM) or the day.
Example log:
Direction: OUT
Type: GPRS
Duration: 00:01:15
Sent: 9Kb
Received: 13Kb
Received/sent varies, up to 140Kb transfers.
This phone has no wifi or GPS, no 3G contract. I have installed GMail and Opera browser but set net connection not to be automatic, for those apps and for all others. Set app validation not to be automatic. I've gone over every network-related setting and set to 'manual' or ''after confirmation'. Packet data connection is 'When needed'. On SMS messages set the 'Dowload messages' to 'Manualy'.
I've scoured the net on this topic and read the whole manual to see how can I turn off/on internet connection but it seems it's not so easy, maybe create a 'dummy' Acces Point? I've checked all apps' settings and none can access the net unless confirmed. Can anyone point to a way or utility to check what application is making those GPRS connections? Would a soft/hard reset help stop this? Maybe even a virus checker?
Thanks in advance!

No, no mail app anywhere already installed, and I haven't installed any third-party or Nokia one apart from GMail.
Today at around 13:35 it started again. While the connection was active I cheked on Menu: Settings: Connectivity: ConnectionManager to see if there was any info about it. Nothing, it doesn't show what app or process is using/initiating it. Two bursts of 16Kb and 29Kb. Cancelled the connection and still it tried another four times to re-connect!
Ended up putting phone on 'Offline' mode which killed the attempts; after a few minutes set it back to 'Normal' and it hasn't tried any shennanigans... so far.
This is really infuriating. Thanks for responding.

Nokia X6 Always show MTP Device when connect PC

Why my Nokia X6 always show Found New Hardware "MTP Device" when connect to PC Select USB mode: PC Suite?
My PC Windows XP SP3
Is there any way to solve this problem?
Thank!

Same problem here. This is how you can make it go away.
Go to Control Panel > Taskbar & Start Menu.
Then on the Taskbar menu hit "Customize" That will show you the current items in your taskbar. You should have one that says "<no title>" - that is the MTP Device. Click on the "Hide when inactive" and change it to "Always hide".
Still, I don't think it addresses the issue directly so if anyone can tell us more about this problem it would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

Contact BSNL and request them to send the settings for GPRS.. Normally these are sent thru' SMS.. When you receive them.. open and select 'SAVE' .. Now your access points are set and you should be able to browse the net..

C3-00 Unwanted GPRS connections

10-Oct-201107:42 PM
After waiting on an answer in another topic I did put this under a new topic cause it was on a WLAN topic and the matter is the hard to controlled and unwanted GPRS connections of the C3-00
Placed the 16th of october 2001
All was set to "My action is required" in the GPRS and WiFi settings.
So all the hints I have found in the topics were checked so all the connections are set to :ASK ME FIRST ! As well as the possible auto updates were cancelled !
Question 1-4:
Is there any setting in the C3-00 for a WiFi / GPRS connection set on the SIM-card ??
Question 2-4 :
Are ALL the settings for a WiFi / GPRS connection on the C3-00 placed on the PHONE's memory ?
I have two SIM's
One for prepaid in a Finnish Network. GPRS installed via SMS of the operator
One for prepaid in a Dutch Network. GPRS installed via SMS of the operator
The Finnish SIM works as it should with GPRS : ON when needed OFF when browser is closed.
As well in Holland as in Finland ! In Finland -Elisa- and Holland in roaming -VodaFone- .
The Dutch SIM is connecting at once and after disconnecting it comes up again in short time !
It is only tested in Holland not yet roaming in Finland.
Question 3-4:
Would it be possible that the operator is starting a GPRS connection ?
Because they "know" that you installed the GPRS possibility on "their" network number.
There are a few fact's in this matter who don't leave the networks out of the problem cause.
Question 4-4 :
Would it be possible to analyse the recieved auto-SMS for setting up a GPRS connection ?
Thanks in advance
Chris7207 from Holland

Looks like this matter is to big to handle in this forum. After 10 days in this topic no answer as wel as in the C03-00 Wlan topic.
Fact is that the only goal is to get attention for the matter wich had in the c03-00 Wlan more then 200 reactions. Wich is at least three times more then other highnumbered topics.
In my opinion it is not the way it should be treated by Nokia !
It's not so long ago that Nokian laatua oli hyvaa!
Prove that it still is !

Nokia 5233 - Data Connection Freezes

hi mate,
indeed strange behaviour. have you checked that you are up to date with the latest firmware for your device thru Nokia Suite on PC, and that your SIM card is in good condition / cut properly, and that you are in an area of good network coverage and reception. also check that you have the correct network carrier settings for data/MMS/everything.

I can not get my ipod 4 gen to log into Free Wifi hotspots. It shows that it is connected but I have to internet activity. I was at several hotspot locations last night and could not get on any, but other people were. HELP.

I can not get my Ipod 4 Gen to log into free WIFI hot spots. It shows that I am connected but I have no internet activity. I was in several hot spots last night and could not log in, other people were, but I could not. HELP!

- Did the other users who successfully connected have iDevices?
- Frequently you have to open Safari/a browser and agree to the terms and conditions of the wifi spot before yo can get to the internet. Some wifi spots use Flash or Java to log on which the iPod (and other iDevices) do not support)
- Have you tried resetting network settings: Settings:General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- Does you Ipod successfully connect at home?.

Losing network connection on T61 but still showing that I am connected

Hello All,
I am having network connection issues with my T61. On any network I connect to, my downloads will randomly stop, or videos I am watching will stop loading, same with online radio, etc...
The connection will resume after about 30 seconds of being lost but is a major pain especially if I am on a vpn and have to log back in.
My network connection never reports any problems and the icons still show that I am connected.
I have reinstalled all my drivers, ran multiple spyware/virus detection, and tried to trace my network activity with no luck.
The interesting part is that if I am using skype voice my issues disappear. It seems as though the deluge of packets sent by skype forces my connection to stay alive.
Any thoughts? (other than talk to someone on skype all day)
Edit: This happens while using wireless and LAN connection

Make sure data roaming and cellular data is turned off. If you don't want to receive calls or SMS then put your phone in airplane mode and reactivate WiFi

Email app on my nokia 5233

the default email application in my nokia 5233 is not connecting to network and not updating my emails
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi Sann_,
You didn't post wrong, let's see if we can get the emails syncing. Please log in here, and check that the settings are ok. You can also delete the account from there and from the phone, and try to configure it to the phone again.
If it still does not work, and you have checked that the internet connection works, then please do the following actions and in between them check if it works.
Make a backup with Nokia Suite. Type in *#7780# followed by lock code (default is 12345). This is soft reset, no data will be lost.
You can also reinstall the phone software. The process is the same as when updating with Nokia Suite, but at the end select "Reinstall".
If the sync still does not work, type in *#7370#, also followed by lock code. This is hard reset. The phone memory will be wiped so make sure you have the backup. Restore back up.
Please let me know if it still does not work. Also please tell me what happens when you try to sync and are there error messages?

Need Help in Nokia 5233 (It's Urgent)

Some week ago I update my Nokia 5233 Firmware n now all is working fine but the problem is my gprs setting will gone but now I got GPRS setting but the problem is, I install Opera Mini browser n all r know that that when 1st time launch Opera Mini browser then the software require internet connection, when I select the connection it's shown same installation screen n then I minimize Opera Mini n I see that my operator signal is gone n after that I restert my mobile n then try again but same problem. When I used default browser it's always shown connection n when I minimize the browser then my operator signal not gone n now I maximize the browser then hang the browser. What is that? Is it problem with new firmware or my Operator? If is it my mobile problem then plz give me the solution...
(SORRY FOR MY ENGLISH)

from information you've given i'm concluding that
You've tried reset (*#7370#)
Ensured that you've successfully upgraded, i mean you didn't suffer a failed upgrade(*#0000#)
Though NSU uses user data conservation technology, you might've lost settings, which i'm sure you've checked and its there and selected correctly.
As the problem started after firmware upgrade and glitch seems to be with connectivity(i remember browser improvement was one of changelog of last update), so your phone somehow didn't get upgraded properly. Only way out is to consult nokia care in your city.
