Packet Connection Always On

My N8 has developed what I like to call a packet connection fetish.
For some reason, even though it's set to when needed, and no online widgets are use, it is seemingly keeping a packet connection open (double arrows under 3G text). If I look at the connection status it says inactive, yet it's still open.. If I close it, it stays closed until a connection is actually needed, but then it stays open again.
What is causing this?
I have powered off the phone and turned it back on, but it goes right to opening a packet connection even as soon as the phone boots up.

Do you have Whatsapp installed? This apps requires constant connection and you WILL NOT be able to override it. (you can set the priority to WLAN instead of 3G, but then it will connect to Wifi all the time if it's available and 3G when it's not). In either cases, your battery will last you less than 10 hours.
If you do not have Whatsapp, then I would suggest you looking at your Destinations to see if there is an errant MMS access points. Some users have complained (me included) that the N8 does not like MMS access points as it will try and connect all the time. My solution was to delete the MMS access points.

My apple tv(3rd Gen) total screws. connection always break down, nothing changes on the setting!!! no movies, no iTunes, only seconds than it is gone!!

One month after purchase and perfect functioning my apple Tv is screwed! I can not stream any content to since the connection always breaks down after second, also itunes etc cannot be accessed!!
I did everything, changed Routher channels to all possible options(13 different and although everything worked before), resetted at the PC ( Was not possible to wifi, connection broke doWn), also resetted the Router. I switched of HD and all kinds off things, no sign of change!
I found out that actually some apple TV's have a problem with the wifi chip, might be one of those?
Contacted Apple, they are exchanging it against a used and repaired one?!?! Hello?! It is one month old!!!! No scratches!! And I still had to wait before they checked mine!!!
I want a new one!! Support is an hilarious excuse for a company that sells this kind of quality image!!! I am hugely disappointed!!
Did anyone else have this kind of problems?

So you are having a network connection issue. Have you run the network diagnositics to test the connection? Have you trying using a wired connection to isolate if it is a WiFi issue?
I can not stream any content to since the connection always breaks down after second
How are you streaming? AirPlay? ATV menu?

I did everything,
Clearly you have not done everything since the problem has not been found. Lets try to stick to reality here.

It is not likely if you just bought it new. You can google for the model numbers that were specificly recalled though if you want to check.
Did anyone else have this kind of problems?
A lot of the issues posted are network related. Most come down to WiFi issues. Streaming video rarely works well over WiFi unless you have extremely high end WiFi hardware to support it. Any streaming video product will work better connected via eithernet.

Wifi connection alway disconnect after update to iOS6

After update to iOS6 for a month, I found the wifi connection alway disconnect and need to reconnect severaly times. Plese help to suggest for setting up.

Hello there cyldevil,
I would recommend using this article if the Wifi is grayed out in settings.
iOS: Wi-Fi settings grayed out or dim
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1559
Here is also some additional info on troubleshooting wifi in general on your device from iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1398
Be sure that you are in range of your Wi-Fi router (access point).
Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and turn Wi-Fi off and then on again.If unable to do so, see this article.
Confirm that your Wi-Fi router and Cable or DSL modem are connected to power, turned on, and indicate that they are connected to the Internet.If not, refer to your network administrator or ISP for assistance.
Restart your iOS device.
Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and locate the Wi-Fi network to which you are connected. Then tap > and Forget this Network. Try to connect to your desired Wi-Fi network again.
Note: You will need to enter your Wi-Fi password again if your desired network requires one.
Turn your Wi-Fi router off and then on again2. If your ISP also provides cable or phone service, check with them before attempting this step to avoid interruption of service.
Update your device to the latest version of software.
Update your Wi-Fi router to the latest firmware2.For AirPort Base Stations, see this article for information about firmware updates.

3G-GPRS CONNECTION ALWAYS ON....

How do I stop the 3G/GPRS connection being always on. There is an option for 'Always when needed/available' but this doesn't make any difference.
Apparently this is down to certain applications set to connect automatically, but there doesn't seem to be a way to identify these....
Any help or tips will be greatly appreciated.

I have the same problem! I wish someone could solve this problem. I want the 'allow connection', 'allow connection for this session' and 'connect automatically' to reappear on my phone.
I clicked on 'connect automatically' once & this led to the 3G-GPRS connection always on problem. Just want the connection prompt to re-appear again!
Please help. Thx in advance.

Data packet connection received

On a fairly regular basis, once an hour approx, my N86 beeps and a message appears on the screen stating that a " data packet connection received". This also happens when I'm on a call and beeps in my ear.
This is only a minor annoyance but an annoyance nevertheless. Any idea what this is and what I can do about it?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

also have this problem with my N5800. I have noticed on my phone bill that I have connected to the internet every 30 min.
When I hold the menu button to see what apps are active I only ever see the "home" and "menu" logo. In my Admin settings>Packet data>Packet data connection the only options are "When needed or when available"
How is the best way to find out what app is connecting to the internet and sky rocketing my bills!!

Applet using socket connection always go through proxy server

Socket connection with socks always go through proxy server
We have two applets in different codebases using socket to talk to each other, until now nothing new, but the problem is that we are behind a proxy server with socks and because of that, the connection always go through the proxy server even with proxy override point to the applet machine. We have tried a lof of things and until now nothing worked, it looks like the socket is ignoring proxy override configuration. We would like to know if there is a way to solve this problem making the applets comunicate to each other ignoring the proxy server. It should happen when we set the plug-in option to "no proxy host", but it doesn't. Maybe it can be a bug of JVM, I don't know, just maybe, and if it's true, any other good idea would be welcome as well.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I am not very much sure if I can help you. In my previous experience, once you set the system property to use the proxy, then the jvm uses the proxy. If you want disable, in your code, you have to disable it.
like System.setProperty("socksProxyHost","someHost"), Properties props = System.getProperties(); props.remove(("socksProxyHost");

I have an IPA2 wifi 3g working fine with wifi up for 3 monthes then from two weeks it get connection but after 1 minutes stop to serf/download with signal and connection always present. With the same router are still connected others 3 pc working!

I all,
the scenario is the following:
WIFI connection with TISCALI operator. Encryption made by WPA2 EAS with router SITECOM or tested also with another router DIGICOM with WPA TPK.
From December up to end of March the IPAD2 working perfectly serfing and downloading.
By two weeks it has a very strange behavour without have changed any configuration on IPAD or network:
with WIFI turned on it discover about 4 different ntw among them the mine, I successfully authenticate with psw the my ntw,
the IPAD2 start to run with Safari without problems, but after about 1 minutes, it stop to serf or download and answer that the Server cannot be reached or the page cannot be open, at the same time the signal is present on the icon of WIFI and it is strong.
This problem is systematic: If I dissasociate the ntw and then authenticate again I start to serf again for 1 minutes (more or less) and then it stops again, this occurs every time I authenticate the ntw after a disassociation.
I made some test changing the encryption from WPA2, WPA and also without encryption but the result was always the same, after about one minute the server seems to be for the IPAD2 no more reachable while the others PC and netbook connected to the same router continue to serf/download without problems!
I also tried to change the router with a DIGCOM that I did not use generally, but the behavour is always the same.
Since the IOS was the 4.3 revisin, I made the upgrade by means Itunes to IOS 5.1 succesfully installed.
But unfortunatelly all test repeted have had the same negative result with the same behavour!
Yesterday I tried to do the complete restore of the System but the tests had the same rsult.
I really don't know how to proceed, the problem started suddenly without any action from my side....is there someone that can help me?
Thanks Massimo

Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.

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.

I replaced an old airport extreme with a new one. None of my wifi devices will connect - always say incorrect password. Reinstalled old device, works fine. Any ideas?

I have a 5 year old airport extreme. I bought a new one to upgrade for better range. I connected the new one to the internet with a few problems, but a phone call to my internet provider resolved them. With an ethernet cable from the new airport extreme to my iMac, I'm connected. However, none of my wifi devices will connect. They see the network, but it either says "incorrect password" if I'm trying a new network name and password, or it repeatedly asks me to reenter the password if I use the old ones. I reinstalled my old airport extreme and everything works fine. I'm about ready to box up the new one and return it. Any ideas?

It is extremely difficult to fix these issues.. remotely.
If none of your wifi devices work.. that does sound unusual..
Have another try.. This time deal with the COMPUTER only.. leave everything else turned off.
Unplug the Extreme from the router.. reset it to factory.. do this full setup.
Unplug power from the Extreme.. hold in the reset button.. plug in the extreme to power and keep holding in the reset.. 10sec or so the front led should flash rapidly.. release the reset and wait a couple of min.
Now in the computer does the Airport extreme show up under wifi as new device??
Please make sure IPv6 is set to link local only to go further but it should work no matter what the settings are.
No luck clear out all the old wireless names from the computer.. reboot the computer and try again to scan for new wireless devices.
Hold the reset and try again.. it must appear in the wifi to be setup.
No sign of it the unit is faulty and can be returned.

Why NI 9219 2 wire or 4 wire connection always give 10.5K for a 100 ohms resistor

Hello,
I tried to measure resistance with a ni 9219 multifunctional DAQ.
However it always gives 10.K reading for a 100ohms resistor, irrespective of using the two wire or 4 wire configuration.
I am sure that the wiring is correct, and the resistor's resistance can be measured with a fluke 175 multimeter and Keithley DMM with no problem.
Any idea what is the problem?
Thank you!

Thank you for your reply.
I deleted all devices from NIMAX and restarted and the problem was resolved.
There was no problem with the wiring.

Can you download movies into iTunes then watch them via airplay without an internet connection? We want to be able to watch them in our RV that does have an internet connection always.

Can you download movies into iTunes and watch them via airplay without an internet connection? We want to be able to watch downloaded movies in our RV.

If you want to watch on your iPad screen, you don't even need airplay.
If you want to watch on a television screen, you need an AppleTV.
In both cases...
If the movies are purchased, there is no need for an Internet connection to the outside world. If they're rented, you need an Internet connection for the first minute or so that Apple knows that you're watching the movie. I do not know if a rented movie can be stopped and restarted without an Internet connection.

TS1741 How do I get my Apple TV to view movies if there is no Internet connect but my router and home network is fine, but my IP's drops connection always without fail twice a month for 5 hours?

I have an ISP that goes down two or three times a month like a hooker with a hundred dollar bill.
How in the crap do I keep the I tunes movies that I've purchased. And backed up to my Server which also shares a
Folder on the main Computer on a 10(TB) Hard-drive. I have two windows. Windows PC's three Apple computers
And 4 NAS BOXES,
I HAVE almost every type of computer you can imagine, to include NOTEBOOKS.
the (Network Access Storage). Have several different ones from hardware to software, or intel to D--Link.
With a total of 64 TB in hard drives, not that it matters but the boo tables are using firmware boot drives

In iTunes Preferences you should be able to change the location of where media is stored to any accessible local or network drive.
You can also store media in several locations once downloaded by re-adding files store on other drived by reference rather than copying to teh iTunes media folder (once things are in iTunes, find them in the iTunes folder, copy to the desired destination drive, then delete from within iTunes interface itself - next re-add the files by reference. This used to work by holding alt or similar when dragging and dropping to the itunes icon or setting iTunes Preferences not to copy on import).
The issue for AppleTV is that when the internet goes down it won't be able to authorise the locally streamed media to play - also you'll need at least one computer running to stream via Home Sharing. Even if you put media on a NAS iTunes is a helper app that fetched the media being played and sends it to AppleTV. NAS itunes servers don't work for Home Sharing.

N97 packet data connection on hold

Good day,I have a N97 with an unlimited data plan. But I´m having a problem, when I receive or make call or send text message my phone show this message “packet data connection on hold”, and when I finish the call or sent the text message the phone shows “Packet data connection active”. There is any way that I can change this? I want to have my data connection always active.Thanks in advance for your help
Solved!
Go to Solution.

you would have to go into the settings - connectivity- the first tab is network - select this and it tells you network mode, select this and you can set it to dual mode - umts or gms only mode. if your phone was made for your region and it supports the frequency that the network provides then it should work in 3g if it does not which is possible then it will only work on edge
