I have agalaxy s2 and have the GPRS pack enabled from Vodafone.
Every 2 minutes my phone flashes with a message about the usage of gprs data and how much i have left. This causes screen to come on and phone to vibrate. This message is similar to the balance messages sent by network after each call (not an sms, just message with OK button)
Any option to disable these messages. Everyone i know if being annoyed with this.
Vodafone India tells me they dont know how these messages can be stopped.
Is there an app or something that can block these ?
This is happening because you might have installed Juice Defender or similar software that switches off your 3G/Edge (data) connection when your screen is turned off. There are 2 options for you to try:
1. Ensure that your data connection is always ON even after you turn off the screen. OR
2. If you are rooted, try this app: Prepay Widget

It might work even if you are not rooted. Give it a try.

Hi I would like to see a solution for this too. Not that I get those messages now and then, but whenever sending an sms I get a box like that telling I have been changed 0.00 rs which is actually annoying. I will try the app, however there any other way than rooting to stop the pop up?
@OP u got sense 3.0 UI in GS2?
got a reply from Vodafone email support that it cant be turned off.
wonder if there is an app that that block these messages.
I've turned off battery apps like Juice defender so i dont get many notifications
A tech rep saying it can't be done is a worthless response.
At the very least you could investigate options like:
Removing the process via Root Explorer (or similar app)
Freeze whatever the app or process is that is doing this in Titanium Backup.
Flashing to a stock (non-branded) firmware that doesn't include this crap.
Flashing to a custom firmware that doesn't include this crap
Its not a installed app that is doing this ! The service provider sends a flash message with the usage details.
Isnt there any apps that can block these. I'm sure it will be very popular with Vodafone users if someone makes one.
There should be some kind of MOD to push the pop up message mentioned by the OP in the first post to the notification bar at least.

AFAIK, it has been already dicussed here and no one came up with a solution. So we are left with no other choice .

Hi everyone. I have recently bought Galaxy S3 and i have a whatsapp connection issue. Not always but sometimes, when i opened whatsapp, it takes long time (1-2 mins) to connect. Also sometimes when i tried to text someone it will send the message 1-2 later.
Also sometimes, i received some massages with 3-4 mins delay, i think it is because the same problem at above.
In settings, 3G is enabled also. I didnt recognize any other problem like this yet(browser etc) related with this situation. I havent any problem like this on my old phone (iphone)
Thanks for your replies...
Thats not the app, its your internet connection....restart your router

I have the same issue and its only with whatsapp, I just ignore it as the messages send with a slight delay (whilst they are waiting to send I can browse the Web etc, so not sure how it can be a router problem)

So you cannot solve the situation =(( This problem annoying me a lot..
I observed something yesterday. I enabled wifi and tried my whatsapp lots of time. The connection problem NEVER occured.
Also this morning i realize that when i sent the message and when it is waiting to send (like there is a connection problem), i checked the server status of whatsapp on application, and it says fine/server is ok. Also as "mrbubba999" said while it is waiting, i can use my browser to reach internet and there is no problem with it.
I hope the problem is related with to the whatsapp servers/application or smt like that...

From what I understood, the issues did not occur on wifi? Check your apn settings with your telco provider. May be a damaged sim card too.
The issue does not lie with WhatsApp as I just used it almost extensively everyday and there's no delay. Also, wifi does not cause any issues so it's definitely something to do with your data

Have you tried to change the connection port? There is an option in settings, where you can change the port if you have connection issues.

If there is problem on apn settings or sim card, how can i browse on the internet without any problem. Also while my message is waiting to send, i checked the server status of whatsapp but it says fine always immediately.
it happens,it goes. best way is to check whatsapp status on twiter,they have problems sometimes,it's not always the phone's fault
When you plug the phone into a computer it connects as an installer so you can install the driver and Verizon stuff. Where can I find those files to delete them? I'd like for my phone to automatically connect as MTP for file transfer without having to pull down the notification on the phone can change it.
+1 for this. Is really irritating

I disabled all verizon apps minus the mobile hotspot and now it automatically connects the storage to my computer. I never saw anything about verizon when plugging it in, but I disabled it all first.
I've got everything disabled too and still does it so idk

Try enabling developer options and then tick on usb debugging .

I just noticed that at first a drive that says "verizon mobile" shows up in my computer, then it goes away on its own and the media drive comes up after. Takes maybe 15 seconds or so before the media drive appears. I'll look into disabling the verizon mobile part, but at least it doesn't pop up with anything on the desktop (for me at least) and goes automatically goes away for some reason.
It does go to mtp if you wait long enough. I guess I was never that patient. It would still be much better if it would just go straight to it.
Same problem on osx here, and thing is there's not even an installer for osx. All it has in there are dll and exe. Can find any solution to permanently disable it yet. Tried disable all vz stuff and didn't work for me here.
I just had this problem a half hour ago I wanted to transfer music it ended up being the off brand usb cable I was using s soon as I connected the oem one and check the mtp box it connected and I can transfer files

I'd like the option for the phone to default to charge-only, so that damn windows popup doesn't come up anymore. I get the CD drive verizon mobile first. Then when I close that, it comes up with the SCH-I605, and I have to close that too.
My car deck can read music from thumb drives and would charge my last phone and play music from it at the same time. Deck doesn't get anything from note and note says connected as installer.
I'm rooted, usb debugging on, most Verizon bloat gone.

Run a custom kernel.

You could also turn off auto run in windows. It is a lot safer anyway (For those of us that plug in something where we don't know where it's been.)

It doesn't address the issue. It just hides the iso popup. It will still go to connected as an installer for 15-20 seconds, before your storage is available.

so i guess after 20 months of this thread being dead. no one came up with answer to this problem?????? cuz i'd like to just go straight to the mtp connection.
specially with the project i'm doing right now. where there's going to be a lot of plugging/unplugging

Flash aosp rom. Always in mtp mode.
I know this is old thread but if rooted you can rename system/etc/autorun.iso to system/etc/autorun.bak to keep the Verizon stuff from popping up when plugging in to computer. Still haven't found a way to skip installer mode though.
it's another one of verizons stupid things.
i have a sprint note 2 also, it goes straight to MTP. No sprint installer at all.
Basically this picture explains the problem in a nutshell, if I am on whatsapp and I minimize it for a while or if I set the phone to go in standby after around about 10 minutes the phone will supposedly lose connection to the whatsapp servers and not be able to receive any messages. If I come onto whatsapp and check at this time it will basically say I was seen the last time I opened whatsapp, I will not be able to see the last seen of any of my contacts, and not be able to send or receive messages. The only way I've found to fix this temporarily is to toggle airplane mode and then again whatsapp will work until I go to standby or something. I'm not sure why it's doing it it never used to do it a few months a go I'm confident I'm not the only one with this problem I've tried push notifications fixer nothing seems to help it is just losing connection to whatsapp when in standby and I have no idea why.. it's driving my crazy because I'm not getting my messages and people think I'm ignoring them and its just making whatsapp really unreliable .. anyone got any help on how to fix this? !

I do have greenify installed but effect only on maps and similar.
losing connection with only one contact
I have been using WhatsApp for a long time but lately I am having problems with one specific contact.
Sometimes I am talking with this contact and suddenly it stops, the last seen information also disappears and any message that I send get the one check mark, so it stays in the server and do not reach the other recipient. When eventually the contact comes back any message sitting in the server never is sent.
Nobody loses internet connection and all other contacts work just fine in this same period.
The same problem occurs on her side at the same time. I disappear to her.
None of us block, it just happen during conversations or sometimes we go into WhatsApp and the contact is blank it out with only the name available.
We tried cleaning the app cache, force stop, restart the phone, recreate the contact and not solves the problem. Eventually it comes back, sometimes stay on for a few hours or a couple of days, then stops. Sometimes it stays off for a couple of hours and come back, sometimes it take days to come back.
Again it is only with one specific contact, all others works just fine. This problem starts to happen about 2 or 3 months ago and it is aggravating.
The big problem is the one I need the most and vice versa.
We both use android.
Please, we need help.
Having the same exact problem, definitely frustrating as hell

Bonus Information:
- Pre restoring i had downloaded a 3rd party app
- My phone side internet connection stopped working after a while
- I had installed a bloatware disabling app, in which i disabled multiple apps, maybe it included an important TW component

- I have Clockwork mod installed
- Odin works and it stays on the downloading page and doesn't do anything that I am able to see within 5 minutes
- My phone is a Rogers variant, hardware is same as At&t and I read that they are pretty much same in every way except the custom apps each telephone company installs
- Keyboard doesn't work
- Able to access setting and not anything else
Please help? Any solution is a good one ('^') -sniff sniff

My guess is you answered your own question there. I pretty sure there was a teenie weenie portion of a valuable function you disables with that app.
Did you back up?
Try emergency firmware recovery with Kies?

Yes kies will still work. Put phone in download mode, connect to pc, select firmware upgrade in kies, type in model number, serial number, let it do it's thing. You'll then be on the latest firmware
