Is there a way to disable the popup dialog when the phone is trying to search/re-search for the network?
It's a bit annoying now, with pocketdivx you can get it to turn the screen off to save battery while you're playing mp3. However everytime when the network drops off and on (train going into tunnels, me going into lift, etc), the dialog pops up saying "Searching", which turns the screen on again.
Thanks...

Hey, be pleased that you see that popup, it means the XDA is trying to establish network connectivity. As you may see, most of us complain that the XDA does not automatically attempt to reconnect to the network after signal dropoff !!
Well yes, but what I'm after is, disabling the popup balloon. The system can do whatever, reconnect/re-search the network in the background, but that popup message balloon is kind of annoying sometimes. :wink:

Hello all,
I am wondering if perhaps someone knows how to stop ALL the pop-up balloon msgs in WM2003? I there is a fix to get rid of the annoying battery low pop-up, but I want them all gone. None of them are of any use to me - the title bar icons do the job just fine!
I am especially starting to hate the "can't connect to GPRS" message when I am not in an area with good reception the phone tries to automatically check my mail...
Thanks,
xnappo
there is a regestry tweak to remove that anoying battery low pop up. search around the main site not the forum and you will find it.
Yeah, I know about that one, but I would like to know if there are any registry tweak for the GPRS popups (like can't connect because I am using the phone, can't connect to check email because there is no GPRS signal - check settings etc.
Regards,
Chris
Stop GPRS connection popups
Has anyone found a way to stop the popup balloons when the device goes in and out of service or tries to connect when it is out of service?
It is annoying to try to read offline content in AvantGo or Mobile favorites and have the balloon pop-ups appear on as it tries to connect to get other content.
In addition to the popup, when my device is out of service and tries to sync my mail it also turns the device on. Since have the device set the keep the backlight on for 5 minutes it is killing my battery life when it turns on in my pocket and I don't know to turn it off.
I am using the XDA1 on T-Mobile w/ WM 2003
I'm getting connection errors several times a day that require me to soft-reset the phone. Basically an error message pops up on the home screen from the EV or "bars" icons that says "Dialed: Phone as Modem. Cannot Connect for an unknown reason. To check your connection settings and change them if needed, tap Settings. If the problem continues, reset your mobile device according to your manufacturer's documentation and try again." I also get a nearly identical error: "Dialed: #777. Cannot Connect for an unknown reason. To check your connection settings and change them if needed, tap Settings. If the problem continues, reset your mobile device according to your manufacturer's documentation and try again."
Sometimes, the EV box will change to 1x and then back to EV and the bars display will drop for a moment and show the "antenna" rather than the arrows. This will then cycle over and over.
I am running the original ROM without much else installed (emoze, Sprint Picture Mail, and Windows Live Search). Its been getting worse in the past week (bad enough that I started searching forums for discussion of it).
Anybody having similar problems?
UPDATE - I called Sprint and they said they are aware of the issue and said that they are working on it but don't have a permanent solution at this time. What they had me do was use the dial pad to log into the phone and change the account profile and then change it back. Not sure if that did anything or not since I just got off the phone with them and haven't had enough time to see if it's helps.
I think your problem is similar to mine. I haven't gotten a chance to call them, but all I did was turn the phone communication option off then on and data connection back on.
I've owned a Touch Pro for a few months now and overall it's a good device. It has its quirks, but then again what phone doesn't? There is one problem in particular, however, that I can't seem to figure out. I've searched up and down in XDA Forums, and on Google, and I just can't find out a fix for my data connection always turning on for no reason. I have all my e-mail accounts set to "manual send / recieve", the weather program set to "update weather manually", and as far as I know there are no other programs on my phone that have access to the internet without my permission.
The problem I have is sometimes I will wake my phone up from its sleep mode, and I will discover that the data connection is active and appearing to be transmitting. Also, EVERY time I restart my phone and it goes through the boot process, the data connection will re-activate even before TouchFLO 3D opens up on the today screen. It's really annoying, because I have no idea what's causing it to do this, or why it does it at random times, or whenever I reset my device.
Does anyone have any solutions to this problem? I hate having to manually go in periodically and make sure my data connection is set to "off", instead of having it stay that way when I set it.
So no help on this one then?
I don't have a solution but I can help by bumping your thread and saying I have the same problem on Verizon. I was at a friend's place all weekend, and he has wifi all over, so I turned off data and used his wifi instead. Well sure enough all weekend my data connection kept turning itself back on. It seemed to happen only when going into sleep mode. So I kept the phone plugged in so it would never totally "sleep". Wifi stayed connected with no data connection starting automatically. Annoying especially considering the 5 GB data limit on the PDA plan.
Well I'm glad I'm at least not alone on this one. It's weird too that even though your device is on a different carrier, it still does the same thing. I wonder if it's a hardware issue?
I know that someone has to have an answer for this...
go into pocket express and press menu then go to express settings then on the top left theres a pulldown press it and go into auto updates and turn it off.. pissed me off when i got the phone.. couldnt find a fix till i started going through all the programs to find the one doing it.. and it was the stupid Pocket Express
I have had my MDA Compact V for a few months now, and it's only recently that I've had the same problem. Each time I switch on, my data connection starts or alternatively if I loose signal then get it back then I see my data connection is on again. Thankfully I have the Solo 20 package with unlimited net usage (although you're are limited to 1Gb/month) but it drains my battery really badly.
I went through every possible setting and program to switch off location settings or auto downloads/updates and I still have the same problem, but I downloaded Data Controller v1.00 from Freewarepocketpc.net and I can toggle my data connection on or off as I please.
Heres what you need
Install below cab, then use the NODATA app, select what you want off, PHONE AS MODEM and DATA are your two options I believe... Your data will never come back on... until you re-enable it that is....
PS... THIS IS NOT MY CAB, THIS IS SOMETHING I FOUND WHEN TRYING TO ADDRESS THESAME PROBLEM YOU ARE HAVING. THIS CAB WAS DOWNLOADED FROM MoDaCo BUT I DONT HAVE THE LINK... ALL RESPECTS GO TO HIM... I AM JUST SHARING WHAT HAS WORKED FOR ME IN THE PAST...
Seems it's one or the other
What sucks is on my Sprint HTC touch pro 2 (cdma), I was having a problem where I couldn't answer calls all the time, but sometimes I could, and eventually found that it was always when the data connection was showing active is when I couldn't answer a call. But when that was happening, my data connection would turn back off after a few seconds when I was done using it. It was driving me crazy not being able to answer my calls and I finally found a post that let me correct that problem, it was changing the HKLM\Comm\ConnMgr\Planner\Settings\SuspendResume value that fixed this problem... the value of this registry setting was originally "GPRS_bye_if_device_off". This setting made it so the data connection would turn off when not being used, but it apparently messes up cdma phones from being able to switch over to answer an incoming phone call if the data connection is active. I changed this registry entry to "#777" as the post said to do, and sure enough, that corrected the problem with being able to answer my calls if the data connection is active. I'm real happy to have that working now, but when I changed this setting, my data connection is now always showing active (white arrows showing in status) and even if I turn it off manually, it comes on by it's self way more often than the every 4 hours I have it set to check emails.
There is a registry setting called CacheTime under the same Settings key as the above mentioned registry entry that I changed, that when the "GPRS_bye_if_device_off" value is used, the CacheTime key value will indeed control how long the data connection stays on before automatically turning off. But When I change the Entry to "#777" which is necessary to allow me to answer calls when data is active, then changing the CacheTime value has no effect and the data connection stays on until you manually turn it off.
I'd like to find a way to turn the data connection off, while still not messing up me being able to answer calls when the data connection is active, and seems to me that if both of these things can be done separately with two different registry settings, that it must be possible to do both.... so if any of you tech wizards can find a way to do this, I'd love to see it!
Possible Fix?
Hey, I have noticed the same problem. It is annoying from a battery life aspect as well as a system slowdown when coming out of sleep. I could not find much of a workaround except one of the settings in TD3 Tools I installed. In the "Data Connection" tab you can yurn on an option that makes your "End" key also terminate an active data connections. So if you hit it after waking your phone you won't have the annoying slowdown with your Sense UI...
I recently did a factory reset and format on my Vibrant and then rooted it, but kept the stock TW and everything. Recently, whenever I opened up an app that required an internet connection like textPlus or XDA, the wifi icon on the top bar would disappear and the app would simply not work. In the wifi settings, it says the my wifi network is found, but there is no signal strength, and under the option to turn wifi on or off it would say "unsuccessful." I can then turn wifi OFF and turn it on again and the network would then have like 3 or 4 bars and is functional, but whenever I would open up textPlus or XDA, it will show an animation of the app opening but I would still see my homescreen except nothing is responsive (and the wifi icon will disappear). I can get out of this by pressing the home button, but it'll freeze whenever I turn on the apps. Anyone have an idea of what's going on?
Hi, I have the Tmobile version of LG G5 H830 and after android 8.0 Oreo update, the Wifi keeps disconnecting (it doesn't TURN OFF) some minutes after locking the phone, altough it seems like it would "turn off" bc when I unlock phone, it won't reconnect automatically, have to manually do so, network would say "saved" or "disabled". I'm not sure how long after screen off this happens but I'd say anywhere between 10-30 mins. YES, the "keep wifi ON when screen is OFF" option is enabled in "Advanced Wifi" settings. This is quite anoying bc my phone number and calls work on data/wifi (google number + hangouts) so I put my phone in airplane mode with wifi ON only when at home to avoid strong radio signal near my body so, if it disconnects, I wont get any calls or msgs or anything, might miss something important, plus, I use whatsapp web on laptop and every so often will say "phone not connected" and msgs wont update, cant send, etc, that's when I grab phone to reconnect it manually.
I just tried disabling the "keep wifi on when screen is off" setting and re-enabling it to see what happens, will let u know if fixed
Update: Confirmed, issue is still happening.
PD: Phone is not rooted, stock Tmobile ROM
try a soft reset followed by a lgup flash, see what happens

I noticed it only happens if the wifi signal is weak, say 1 bar. For now I'm just working on the reception, like leaving the phone nearer to modem and specially not covering it with anything. If it worsens I might try something drastic like that.
But hey, ty very much! Greetings from Cartagena, Colombia.
PD: I remember seeing an option in older android phones like Motorola DROID family I think they were android ICS, that said something like "skip weak signals" or smth similar and I always disabled it bc it would not connect to 1 bar signals, but I don't see such option or anything similar in this one. It seems to be in a: "skip weak signals when screen is off" mode.
