May 25, 2010Have a Nokia 5230 with GPS. Am currently in Australia (live in New Zealand) for a couple of weeks and am just a little concerned now that the GPS may be getting some assistance from the local cellular network and don’t want to get home and find a Vodafone bill that equals the current deficit of Great Britain! When turn on Maps a warning comes up "Connection to network may be more costly when out of home network. In Position methods have turned off Network based but there is still an option called Assisted GPS “it wont work with this turned off” what is it does anyone know? Still have Integrated GPS selected but still needs that Assisted GPS for the GPS to work.

May 4, 2012AT&T and iPhone data use charges - WiFi and cellular link options Many people have complained about unusual data usage charges on their AT&T iPhone bills -- often 10s of megabytes in one transaction, posted in the middle of the night. Here are a couple of updates based on the AT&T support portal: WiFi vs cellular link: Connecting to a local WiFi hotspot and turning off your cellular data connection will block cellular data transmission and related charges. (Except for SMS messages, which are very small.) There are some gotchas, however: (a) If your iPhone goes 'to sleep' (the screen goes black), it will revert to the cellular data link, unless it is plugged into a charger. (b) Even if your iPhone is plugged into a charger, it will revert to a cellular data connection if the WiFi link drops, e.g. due to a momentary glitch with your internet provider or electric power supply, so.... (c) The only way to completely ensure that your iPhone will not revert to a cellular data connection is to turn it completely off. You (obviously) will not be able to receive calls, however.
Large data transactions in the middle of the night: Unusually large 'chunks' of data that are apparently sent around midnight are a related issue. You may think that you could avoid these mystery charges by making sure you have a WiFi connection running at night. A number of 'czars' on AT&T's site stated, however, that this is are simply an artifact of AT&T's billing system, which "aggregates" transactions that occur throughout the day into one summary charge, which is posted in the middle of the night. If this is accurate, the data connection(s) you use throughout the day will determine how large this 'summary' transaction will be.
Note: Our bill does not appear to square with AT&T's explanation. For example:
39 04/06/2012 09:36PM phone Data Transfer 7 KB 0.0040 04/06/2012 10:35PM phone Data Transfer 7 KB 0.0041 04/06/2012 10:41PM phone Data Transfer 369,759 KB 30.00
If all of the data from 6 April was 'rolled up' into the massive 369.8 megabyte transaction at 10:41pm, why are there two small transactions at 9:36pm and 10:35? We installed Onavo to try to get to the bottom of this;; I will post the results at the end of the current billing cycle.

Sony Ericsson :: Elm - Will Not Charge And Racks Up Data Charges By Itself
Nov 13, 2010I got my Elm in June and to start with it was fine. There was the occasional moment where I almost had a heart attack when it wouldn't charge straight away but other than that there were no problems. A few months later, an update came out which I immediately installed on my phone. After the update, the home screen would no longer show my calendar, Facebook etc. (the widgets) and I discovered that other elm users were having the same problem after the update so I wasn't too worried by it.
However, I went to charge my phone one day (it still had 20% battery) and plugged it in using a Sony Ericsson wall charger and it did not respond, not even after several hours of waiting. The charger was definitely plugged in, turned on and correctly connected to my phone yet nothing happened. I turned my phone off and on again, still nothing, even when I used different wall chargers. I tried using the USB cable and plugging it in to my laptop and luckily it responded. However, it is very inconvenient to have to plug it in to my laptop every day and it charges painfully slowly. Is anyone else having this problem and can I do anything to fix it?The other problem I am having is that the Elm is using data (which I am being charged ridiculous amounts for) on its own.
I occasionally check my phone to make sure I don't have any missed calls or texts and within the last couple of months, I have noticed that sometimes the Mobile Internet globe is visible in the top corner of the screen and I have no idea why. I haven't done anything different to the settings yet I am being charged maybe £10 a month for data and I don't know what it is being used for or why and when it is activated. My phone is always on lock in my pocket so there is no way that I could be pressing any buttons by mistake and I have made sure that no applications are running. I have tried to keep Wi-Fi on in an attempt to stop the automatic connection to the mobile network but it just runs the battery down immediately and does not stop the data being charged to my account.

View 8 Replies View RelatedMotorola Atrix 4G :: Data Roaming Glitch - Unwanted Charges?
Oct 24, 2011In the Battery and Data Manager > Data Delivery settings we have some options with respect to using data over the mobile networks and roaming.Last weekend my wife (iPhone) and I went to the Canadian side of Niagara falls. I double checked that on both of our phones, we had the Data roaming option disabled, but as AT&T still gets reasonable signal, I left data enabled over our home network.From time to time, the phones roamed to Rogers where we either got texts or in the case of my Atrix a notification saying were roaming and that we had disabled data so couldn't access anything. Great - I thought.The iPhone made it through the weekend just fine. The Atrix, not so much.Very early in the trip, at one point when I woke my screen to check it, I saw AT&T at the top with the data transfer indicators active (and blue). Then, the signal switched to Rogers and the transfer lights stayed on for a few seconds, before eventutally disappearing and only then did the data roaming notification pop up.
I thought this was weird, so I checked my balance, and sure enough, I had 80kB of roaming data present. Not much but at 1.5c per kB I wasn't sure I wanted to keep chancing this happening, and so resorted to turning off mobile data alltogether - which I don't think I should have to do (and DIDN'T have to on the iPhone).I'm not all that impressed. The data roaming option is a software issue - as the network by default allows it and so the onus is on "us" to make sure we don't accrue unwanted charges - but how can I if the phone just kinda does what it wants anyway?
BB Bold 9700 :: Data Roaming Charges Even Though Roaming Was Turned Off
Apr 1, 2010I was traveling in Germany and Italy, and I made sure to set "Data Services While Roaming" to "Off." However, I still did incur data roaming charges. They are really small-- like 15KB/day, but it's nonetheless annoying that my Blackberry Bold 9700 is using data even though I turned it off. I use AT&T. Does anyone know why?

Jul 9, 2010My Nokia N97 use to be in perfect condition and would charge every time i plug it in. However, lately whenever I plug it in, it charges and then it stops and says "Unplug charger from power supply to save energy" and then it says "Not Charging" and then it charges again and then it doesn't. The light near the charging slot always turn on and off multiple times. I have to play around with the charger and plug it in and out multiple times to get it to work. When it finally starts to charge, it takes extremely long to charge. It used to charge quick but now it take hours. Also, if it is charging, and I accidently touch the phone or the cord, it will immediately stop charging. Then I have to play around with the cord again so it will charge.

From July 30 to September 30th get 6GB of data for only $30 per month with unlimited Wi-Fi in over 750 locations.

IPhone :: FaceTime Charges?
Aug 25, 2010A colleague mentioned they have been charged for using FaceTime by their UK provider? It got me thinking, although it uses wifi to carry out the call, it initiates as a standard phone call so even when it switches to wifi does it still maintain that cellular connection and then the call comes out of your inclusive minutes or charges you? It got me thinking because if the new iPod does get FaceTime, with no cellular connection they obviously cant initiate the call in the same way the iPhone 4 does. Which then led me to think if you just go straight to the FaceTime button in the contacts app and use that does that go straight to a FaceTime call and therefore does not do anything cellular?

View 1 Replies View RelatedHuawei Nexus 6P :: Phone Only Charges On PC
Feb 1, 2016My Nexus 6P will not do anything but charge when it's plugged up to my PC. I am using the systemless root and Franco kernel r7. Other than that, it's stock. What happens when I plug my phone into my PC is the battery icon changes to charging, and that's it. The PC does not recognize the phone is plugged in, and there are no unknown USB devices in device manager. I also do not get a USB notification on my phone.
More details:
- I have done the complete drive install VIA the nexus root toolkit (both initial setup before this problem, then again when the problem surfaced)
- USB debugging is enabled
- I swapped cables about 3 times, no change
- Tried different USB ports on PC and laptop and even ports directly connected to the motherboard. no change.
- Tried on my laptop (Windows 10) and it does the same thing as the PC (Windows 10).
- USB settings are set to MTP, although if I change it, it seems to get stuck on charging. I have to tap MTP about 3-5 times in order for it to say it's in MTP mode again.
- Running the command adb devices in command prompt does not show anything connected.
Other than this weird issue, I have not had any problems with my phone. I also have another USB-C cable on the way, but it seems unlikely that would be the issue.
