My data connection keeps turning on by itself there by draining my battery?
Ive put all my emails to "manual" to send and recieve. what else can i do that i may be missing?
thanks
Without seeing the phone I'd say get Shaaps Advanced Config and set your data connection to shut down after 20 seconds.... that should at least help....
took for ever to find Shaaps Advanced Config so im putting the link i found right here...... http://forum.xda-developers.com/atta...2&d=1202399126
in case someone else is looking for it.
pretty cool app, just one question, what do i change in the data connections part to make the data connection only come on when i need it and to turn off when im done.....and to STAY off lol

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...
Can someone please help me on this ,i hardly use the the phone for browsing but when i check my phone i can see that the mobile web is connected even though the phone is locked and not in use (standby mode) ,i keep turning the data connection off but it keeps on turning itself back on .
1) Am i getting charged for this as it's connected to the web,i am on payg ?
2) Is there a way to dissable this until i want to turn it on manualy for browsing ?
Same with me, I would like to permanntly turn off data connection but it will always turn itserlf back on, chances are that if you are on pay as you go then you are being charged for it.
I would like you know if there is a way to actually turn off data connection since I'm going on holiday soon and don't want to come back to a huge phone bill cause my phone kept turning data on
in the UK data plans are generaly pay per byte, not time connected, so unless there is actual traffic you arent paying anything. Of course, teh fact that an app is making a connection means something is using data, though not necessarily constantly; the hd2 seems to have an inability to disconnect itself.
I use Dialup Enabler/Disabler
The auto disconnect can be a little hit and miss, (you have to leave it running for the timeout to work) however the on/off toggles work a treat. Once a data connection is disabled, it stays disabled.
Cheers for the link ,but reading through the posts it is not very usefull and only works sometimes, as you mentioned it is hit or miss ,is there anything else about ,i have done lots of searching but cant find anything else ?
yea the auto timeout is hit and miss, but the toggles work flawlessly, and you say you want to be able to turn it off till you want it back on, , which works fine.
Ive been using it for 5 or 6 months, and never once has it failed. (I dont use the timeout function, only the on/off toggles)
now ive tried many key words and phrases to search, maybe im just searching wrong or something but i cant find any fix to this yet im sure others have experienced it.
basically my data keeps turning on every 10 minutes or so after i switch it off. no programs are running, weather not set to update, youtube hasnt been set to login and neither has twitter, activesync set to usb. the only home screen tabs i have are messages, internet, photos&vid, and weather. time isnt set to update via internet. auto update of database within the data connection are turned off, auto config turned off
im on the verge of hard resetting.
not sure, but maybe WMLongLife could help to identify the culprit, as with each new connection it asks you to define connection type/access
go to settings tab / more / connections / connections / advanced / choose networks -> programs with automatic internet access use: set to "firmennetzwerk" (i guess its work network or something similar).
now your phone doesnt connect data anymore..
if you want to connect it again, you have to change that again..

Did you uncheck "My Location"?
have you tried the "no data.cab" file works for me
yea ive looked into the above solutions but didnt want anything semi-permanent.
ironically i soft reset the device about 4 times within 30min and its back to normal now...go figure.
Search for dialup enablerdisabler. Install it first thing after a new Rom. Goto start find it and disable data once and for all

i dont know what it is, how to change it, edit it. i dont know
but when i have wifi spots saved, like my house, i want to walk in, and it connects to the wifi automatically.
my iphone did that perfectly.
i have like 5 diff. roms in my phone, and i switch back an forth with them, and all have that problem.
is there something im missing?
The fact that you're flashing between 5 different ROMs probably doesn't help with the phone in general. Iphone is the iphone......that's it, no fun. Mine does the same thing, if I leave the house (I normally disable WiFi because it just drains your battery to leave it on while it keeps scanning as you drive down the road) it automatically switches to tmobile data, once I get back home it stays on data, even though it's picking up WiFi.
I have to disable WiFi, then re-enable it to connect.
exactly.
i guess ill just disable it to save batt.
Been having this problem awhile. To get MMS to go through, I have to get my message ready, with attachment attached, Turn off WIFI, and soon at the H Icon apperars I hit send, And it goes through in 3 seconds every time. If I leave WIFI on, it will go through, but could take up to 3 hours to send and then it's hit or miss, might go through, might fail. It's been this way with every ROM I've tried. I use strictly Cognition, but have flash other ROMS to see if it made a difference, and it did not.
I have tried it both ways with fast dormancy on and off, I've tried several APN settings, I've tried different settings with the build prop that pertain to AT&Ts network settings, and nothing works, Guess I'm stuck doing it the hard way. Extra 5 seconds won't be to big of a deal since i can toggle WiFi from the pull down. Suggestions are welcome
yeah same happens here, think 3g gets turned off when wifi is on but you cant send mms thru wifi
Same thing here. Tried sending an MMS when i had wi-fi on and after 2 hours it was still pending. I cancelled it, didn't try again with wi-fi off. Guess i'll make a test to see. I'm on stock KE5 no root.
I've never experienced this - MMS sends for me just fine when I'm on wi-fi. However, I have taken to splitting my APNs - one for internet and one for MMS. This way I can disable 3g/HSPA with an app if I want to, but still send and receive MMS. That may end up helping, as it should use the MMS APN with no issues when you're on wi-fi.
I think it is normal. If I connect to a wifi router to browse and it is not connected externally to the internet, I get no connection. If your wifi is on, it will use it, even if it's dead.

I've been struggling with the same problem and I think I have the solution. I uninstalled Juice Defender which messes with my WIFI/3G connection. Once I uninstalled it - everything worked.
A MMS needs a Network/Carrier APN to get sent, why should WiFi be bothering it? !!
I agree but do you think it is a coincidence now that I have uninstalled Juice Defender? I also shrunk my maximum MMS size down which helped (but still didn't work until after Juice Defender was gone)
I still have problems with my photos being sent upside down or flipped 90 degrees ut I hear that has something to do with the way Samsung saves the meta data for photos.
Regardless, MMS should really be a straightforward phone function.
