Nokia 5230 :: Constantly Connects Online - How Do I Stop?
May 7, 2010
First thing is I am very new to this smartphone thing so I may just be being think. But my Nokia 5230 constantly connects online of its own accord, I go to settings, then connection manager and switch it off but sure enough it connects again without me having done anything.Any idea how I stop this as it is costing me money that I can ill afford.
When my C6-01 is connected to my home wifi, Ovi Store allways connects to my operator's data network. If I set the phone to "Offline" mode, it's not possible to download anything from Ovi Store. Why is that? Wasn't Ovi Store supposed to work on offline mode, without a data connection, when wifi is available?
My newly bought 5230 has started to eat my credit without making a call. T-mobile said I was on t-mobile internet 24/7.They have given me unlimited net for a month to give me a chance to stop the charges - this morning I had £1.26 credit - by midday I had £1.06. When I go into the connection management screen it shows I'm in t-mobile internet - I disconnect from it, and minutes later I'm back in some sort of data transfer with the internet again
I think this application Mobitracker abuse because it was trying to uninstall and now every time the screen is no data and I have no way to uninstall because I also have no way to access the settings of the same ... error in a nokia 5230. I want a solution for people who signed up on your friends list are getting messages daily and I can not descadastra them and even sending by my phone.
can anyone tell me how to uninstall applctn in my nokia 5230 without get into setting/applctn mangr/installed apps/? Cause i cant open it to uninstall my app,
On a 5230, I've tried out sending photos to flickr. Peculiarly it seems to send at least 10 copies of every image.I'm watching it do it right now - uploading goes up to 100%, shows just one picture uploading. Then resets to 0% and starts it all over again.Status shows 1 pending, 0 failed permanently (unless I delete the upload).
Basically my problem is in the title, my phone is continuously pressing 'J' and I cannot stop it, even when the slide is closed and often when they keys are locked. I have NOT dropped the phone or anything like that, I go out of my way to keep it safe and this problem emerged on Thursday when I recieved a message asking if I wanted to auto update.
I said yes, it apparently had installed the update but then hours later this problem starts so I look online the next day and thought i'd try and manually update the firmware, which told me I did not have the latest firmware.. So I installed it, the problem remained. I look around and see that a lot of people have resolved issues with a hard reset, I have also tried this and it has not fixed my problem.
Right, so the other day my G3 started to keep rebooting randomly and gradually got worse throughout the day but would turn on and be usable for an amount of time.
I have tried the following:
Booting into safe mode Having it plugged into the wall charger Hard Reset Flashing the firmware using LG Flash Tool
Nothing has fixed the issue and unfortunately it is out of warranty. Currently it will load up but straight away reboot.
I have a new LG G4 phone from Android, and it's not even 6 months old, but it keeps restarting. The LG logo will come up, then the screen will go black, and then the LG logo will appear back up. It's been doing this for about 5 hours now, and I've tried resetting it back to the factory settings, but it goes right back to rebooting on it's own.
Ever since upgrading to the latest software 7.1.0 Bundle 1149, my Bold 9900 is consonantly rebooting. Usually after a phone call, it decides to reboot. So annoying. Its also extremely slow and the battery life is awful. Its only about 6 months old and constant problems.
I have an lg g3 and any app i try to download from google playstore it shows downloading but really does. I have tried multiple apps i tried clearing my cache restarting my phone. Nothing seems to work.
I just downloaded a nice weather app on my iPhone 4s but this app keeps sending an alert to rate it almost each time I open it.I already rated it once but it keeps alerting me. Can I turn this off in notifications?
During my use of my iPhone, a box pops up intermittently asking for my voicemail password. It then says "incorrect password." It IS the correct password. What can I do to stop this?
When my phone is in 4G or on WiFi the upload and download arrows are constantly lit up making it seem like the phone is moving data non stop. This is killing my battery life.
I'm having problems connecting my N900 to my PC via USB (Mass Storage mode). I've contacted Nokia support twice but haven't heard anything back.When I connect it up, a Windows pop-up from the system tray appears saying "This device will perform faster if plugged into a USB 2.0 slot". File transfers to and from the device are extremely slow.
I've checked out my motherboard, and it only has USB 2.0 slots. I tried them all anyway, and besides, my iPod and other USB devices such as data sticks connect to USB 2.0 no problem at all, using these very same ports.I've tried on a friend's computer, and without having to install anything, the phone instantly popped up, USB 2.0 mode, no problem. What's wrong with my computer? What a I missing? Any suggestions?
I have a Nokia 5800, just updated firmware to 40 and map to the free v3.04. I don't have a data plan so a free GPS feature is a plus for me. I played around with it and finally got it to work. However, I checked my data usage just to be sure that I was offline. The bill showed that my phone was constantly checking with AT&T network during this time. The data usage was between 6k to 8k every few minutes when GPS was active. Does free GPS and map include turn by turn navigation? Is that what the phone was doing, getting turn by turn instruction from the network?
I am going on holiday next week and this will be the first time I'm taking the phone with me (except in Switzerland where it remained in flight mode throughout). I want to ensure I don't get hit with any charges on my return.
I will be using the WiFi functionality as the hotel is WiFi enabled and I will be receiving/sending texts and phone calls. However, I do not want, under any circumstances, my phone to connect to the internet using the network as the fees are astronomical. How can I ensure that the phone only ever connects via WiFi?
I'm using ovi maps v3.01 on my 5730 XM, and whenever I open the maps application it connects to the internet using the gprs connection without asking for about 3 seconds then disconnects. and I have the setting to 'go online at startup' disabled. I get charged by the day so i want to prevent connection every time i open the maps.
I've recently installed the latest, free OVI maps for E71 but it still connects to the internet using my t-mobile data connection.I've set the Internet connection to offline, default accesspoint to "search for WLAN" and roaming warning to on. Futhermore synchronisation is set to manual.But it still connects to internet using the t-mobile internet connection and even though it's just a few kilobytes it can cost me money if I'm outside the country.This behaviour is the same as the previous version. I used it in Thailand and downloaded the Thailand map before and set the application to offline. When I wanted to know my position it connected to the internet without even asking.I discovered the connections by accident (looking at the logs) after two weeks and it cost me about 18 euros. Even though no more than 20 Kb per day was sent (and received) by default at least 200 Kb is billed per day if a connection is made.The only way to avoid the connections being made was to set the phone to flight/off-line modus though detection of my position was a lot slower so I suspect the connections are made for a rough position detection using the mobile connection points.Though now I see mainly brief connections out are made they're still connections and I would like to be able to disable it without loosing my main-phone-function (receiving phone calls).
So I've just downloaded the new free Ovi Maps for my 5800 and it's pretty nice, except for one thing: even when I set the connection to offline it still connects to the Internet every time the app is started (which, even though the app is fullscreen is visible when, for example you go into the settings screen). It seems though that after a minute or so it disconnects, but still, the old Maps app asked on startup whether to connect, this one just does without asking every time it's started.Am I missing some hidden setting?
I have Nokia C7, recently updated with Belle OS. Past couple of weeks, I am noticing "Messaging" app connects to the internet and uploads some data. This happens whenever I open Messaging to check my messages with my internet connection enabled.
I have checked for Virus/Spyware..etc, but nothing seems to be existing. I have Kaspersky Mobile security. I have also removed the thirdparty app's as well, but still I have the same issue.
If I access the Messaging app when my Internet connection is disabled, it will "Mobile Data Off", which means it tries to connect to internet.
Any whooo got myself a new phone last week (figured it was time as I had my last one almost 7 years!!) and I've been trying to set up up etc ever since. I'm now at the confused.com point I want to use my phone on the WLAN at home and I've added the service to the phone using the wizard etc however every time it connects its seems to use the futures bright internet and thus I incur download charges, ok they are only a few pence at a time but I don't know why it does this. I've set the phone to ask on connection and I pick the WLAN every time.Can anyone help me please - fyi this phone has been unlocked and unbranded and is currently using PAYG, don't know if that makes any difference or not but thought I would share
