Hi,
I want to know how to disable GSM on P500 since I have no data plan. It drains my battery (about 50-60% everyday)
OR
Is there a way to keep GSM to use MMS only ? (I have unlimited MMS on my plan, but no data plan)
In parameters, I've try to uncheck "Données activées" (Must be something like "Data enabled" in english) but it still drains 50% of my battery at the end of the day.
Sorry for my english.
Thanks.
edit: hum...sorry, I think I have to look to disable 3G and not GSM...
Ok, answer to myself...APNDroid seems to do it...BUT if it disables 3G, does it mean that it can have an effect on my coverage for calls ?
BTW, my provider is Telus, can I just change APN to only allow MMS and block all other attempts to use data ? I tried it but when I add a APN, I can't select it.
Thanks
If I'm not wrong,pulling down your status bar and pressing the 4th button will disable 3g usage. This shows that it is disabled.

Thanks AsherChua,
You answered my first question, thanks for that.
I also tried to create a new APN to use only MMS, so i think (but could be wrong) it will never use data for internet usage and only MMS will work. The problem is: if I create a new APN and set the "APN Type" to "mms", the new APN will not have the toggle button to select it. If I enter anything else like "mms " (with a space), I'll be able to select it.
Anyone knows how to resolve this problem ? thanks.

I just rooted and unlocked both my phone and my girlfriends. I did exactly the same procedure for both. Then I flashed viperROM 1.2.1 and runandhide's button remaps. It's also worth knowing that the phones are sitting side by side. Both have the latest PRLs and did a profile update on mine as well, also tried to completely deactivate and reactivate.
Now that the background info is out of the way, here is my issue:
Randomly (I tried to find a pattern, none emerged) my phone will go into roaming and the network operator will switch to "31000". Except it isn't roaming, the phone does not work at all, I can't place a call or use data (I do have data/voice enabled under roaming guards). The strange thing about this is that my girlfriends phone which is literally right next to mine has full bars. The issue lasts for about 1-10 seconds and then it's back on the Sprint network.
Here is a screenshot of when it happens:

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",

}
What could be the cause? Faulty phone? I'm flashing back to stock to monitor if it happens there, I will update. Does anyone have any insight? Should I replace my phone?
Try disabling LTE and Roaming
I was having the same problem. I tried updating PRL, etc without effect. Finally went into "Settings" > "Mobile network settings". I disabled LTE ("Network Mode" > "CDMA only") and Roaming ("Roaming" > "Sprint only"). I haven't had any problems since. I'm wondering if it was a fluke and the problem will return. Hopefully someone else can verify/reproduce this solution, since this appears to be a huge issue.
Thanks for posting
I have experienced similar problems...I will try to adjust roaming settings.
I have noticed my phone will go into roam for no reason.
My phone is not unlocked and not rooted.
Whenever my phone switches to roaming on V I get this notification that my data connectivity was lost, even if I'm connected to WiFi. When I return to Sprint the message persists, i.e. it doesn't go away until I clear it.
Q: Can I disable this message somehow? It's friggin' annoying to have that little triangle in my notification area every 10 minutes (I don't get Sprint signal in my office, there is a V tower on the building literally next door).

I was trying to figure this out myself. I don't see anywhere in settings for us to turn it off though.
I also find this notification annoying.
And searched without any luck.

I too would be interested in learning how to disable this annoying 'feature'.
Thanks
Bump
Has anyone got Samsung dive to work for the new S3?
I have set up the account etc but when I use the website to track my phone or call it etc nothing happens.
I am on the O2 network in London. Any help would be much appreciated.
I set mine up yesterday and it setup fine and all, but when I went to track it...it did indeed track the phone, but it said my phone as at my home address when I was sitting in McDonald's. So...not sure why it did that but that is far from accurate!!
Calling and locating it worked from me with the original firmware. After installing Omega I tried again and it still works.
I cant get it working. I go through the motions as per below:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
...but remote controls stays "off".
Anyone who has managed to get this set up, at what point does that setting for on/off at the top become available please?

Probably silly question but have you slid the toggle to "ON" - I had that first time as well. Every time you slide the toggle over you have to re-enter your password again.
your 3G enable ?
I eventually got it to slide after various combinations of removing and re-adding the samsung account and ticking / unticking the location tick box

MMS Data
Here's the MMS settings that I'm currently using. I had to move what was stated as the proxy setting into the WAP fields. They are working perfectly for sending and receiving.
Tethering
For Telus, change the Internet APN settings, APN = isp.telus.com
Go to the Internet Sharing settings and turn internet sharing on.
After that I would suggest changing the internet APN settings back to sp.telus.com without turning off internet sharing. Mind you, this is sort of hit and miss at times. I haven't really found any reason for it to be acting like that. Here's a screenshot of the internet sharing app when I am able to get it going.
Hopefully this helps everyone out there that is having the same issues that I had. Even if you aren't with Telus you generally get the drift with how it works and where to put each value. Getting the setting values for your carrier shouldn't be very hard to do. Enjoy.

Which version is your phone? Mine is
45/2012
1232.2109.1242.1001
RM-820_nam_canada_200
and my settings screen says Cellular instead of Mobile Network. I've also been unable to get consistent LTE speeds. Had them for the beginning of last week and now I only get 3G and sometimes 4G. Thinking about doing a reset to hopefully sort it out.
EDIT: Figured it out... locale settings
For some reason my phone does not give me the option of choosing which network mode to use. Wondering if this is because I have removed some of the Chinese apps. Would anyone be able to show me where this option resides in the menus? Thank you.
Yes me too i am trying to activate volte and Real vowifi. I have installed système ui tuner but non option available. I Can eliminate thé warning high sound message but no more for instance
I have tried resetting my phone and still have no way of selecting LTE/NR/GSM on my handset. Is anyone else in the same boat?

If you have a look on the Network Profiles (Settings / Mobile Networks / Select one SIM card / Access Point Name / Press the i icon on the corresponding APN / Network (below) there is a list of network connection types : LTE, EDGE, ...
However deselecting LTE does not seem to help.
If you wish to disable 5G, you may go to Battery Settings then "Optimisations" where you'll be able to "Disable 5G".
Thank you for responding. I get the same settings, but they don't let me pick 5g. The only way I have managed it is using the android engineering menu that various apps can open.
