I am going abroad and want to make sure that I cannot use GPRS/WAP while abroad. I still want the wifi feature. How do you dissable it to ensure that it cannot come on by itself and will only ask if needed. Any help would be appreciated.

I am currently abroad in Austria and I am trying to set up internet on my blackberry bold. I have already bought a sim card with Orange AT and paid for an internet plan. However, I still can't get internet on my phone. Data services are on and the sim card is active. My phone is not locked.
View 2 Replies View RelatedEvery time I unlock my Z2 and not connected to the internet, there will be this ‘Not connected to Internet’ notification appearing in the middle of my screen. And when I enable mobile data, this ‘Mobile data enabled’ notification appears. This notification appears on top of anything and it is blocking my view especially when I want to use the keyboard to type. Part of the keyboard is blocked by this notification. Even though the notification only last for about a second, it is still irritating. This notification only starts appearing 3 days ago, previously there isnt' this notification.

I would like to know how to disable this notification.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI've got Googe maps, BTC Mapper, and Endomondo on my phone. They all use GPS to track you, plot where you have been, and save tracks for you to chek out later. They work nice. I use them a lot for walking, running, and bicycling.My question though, is the GPS actually using the GPS satellites in orbit, or is it using triangulation off several cell towers to get my location?If it is using GPS satellites, why is it that if I turn off all connections (Mobile Network Sprint & Wi-Fi), I lose all GPS connections as well? If this device is atually getting signals from the satellites, what difference does it make if I am in a cell coverage area or not?I've read that, yes, the location is retrieved from the satellites, but to plot it on the maps takes the cell connection. If that is the case, is there an app that just logs longitude and latitude every second and stores it in a file that can be dumped to a map at a later time?
The reason I bring all this up is because, later this summer, I plan to go on a 2-week long cruise that will visit about a dozen different Carribean islands and I'd like to track my location. At sea, I won't be able to pick up a cell signal. Will the GPS tracking apps like google, still work? Even if I can't get a cell signal, my GPS should still be able to pick up satellite signals
I'll be visiting France in the next few weeks and wish to use the sat nav on my E52. In the uk my O2 contract gives me unlimited internet access but outside of the uk I am charged.I just want to check I've set up the phone to aviod these charges.I've gone into Positioning settings then positioning methods and dissabled assisted GPS and network based and left only integrated GPS ticked.Will this do the trick or is there something else I need to do?

Doesn't matter if I use the Dual Mode, UMTS or GSM. When I manually search, it gives me 2 options; AT&T and T-Mobile. When I request either one of them it tells me that I don't have access. What am I doing wrong? Is there a setting I'm missing?Settings > Connectivity > Network > Network unavailable. I'd like to see it changed. GPS and wifi are working fine.
View 10 Replies View RelatedI 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?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI've recently bought a Nokia 700 and for few days I'm experiencing this weird problem.Every single connection drops (3G, Wi-Fi and USB. Haven't tested NFC yet) at random times and I can't reconnect. It always says after that it can't connect and the connections are unavailable.After turning the phone off and then on again, everything is back to normal. I can normally connect to the 3G connection, Wi-Fi and USB.It's pretty annoying as I always have to restart my phone in order to connect via USB or to the Internet when it happens.Anyone else who is experiencing the same problem or has any solutions to this?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a 920 that has given me fits since I got it a week ago. I have had this happen at several hotel, work and home locations.What happens is that at some point during the day, I want to connect to the Wi-Fi whereever I am at. So I turn on the screen, go into Settings/Wi-Fi and I am not able to connect to anything.The Wi-Fi option is turned ON but the toggle for it is grayed out and you cannot change it (to ON or OFF). Also, there is a progress bar scrolling across as it indicates "Searching". It will stay that way for HOURS if you wait that long.I also noticed that if I go to Bluetooth settings at this point, I cannot turn that On or Off either (although the toggle is not grayed out).The rest of the phone and app functions work normal at this point.The only way to get WiFi or BT working is to reboot the phone, then everything will work for a while and at some point in time, this will happen all over again.

If I create a custom internet target for my job needs and put some WiFi access points there, the phone still makes duplicate copies of them to Internet target upon connect.

The computer recognizes the cell phone and installed drivers (contents are available through Explorer). But the PC Suite (v 7.1.51.0) doesn't show any available connections.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI could not get the Nokia 700 to connect using bluetooth DUN, to a laptop running WinXP.Really weird since this has been working for me for years with every other phone.I am using web/web which is the usual pair, but this is contract internet, not PAYG...The connection goes through the login/pwd bit OK and then fails when it says registering your computer on the network', with Error 734, terminated.Googling suggests things like disabling the multilink option but it doesn't help.I can get a connection using Joikuspot, so maybe this is a good time to drop the bluetooth But, after a lot of googling, it was solved, so here it is for those (many) with the same problem:One needs to add+cgdcont=1,"IP","internet"into the modem initialisation string box (windoze XP).Totally bizzare. I found a clue to this in some vodafone forum.Disabling multilink in the Network tab for the network connection is also seemingly required, and this proved quite difficult since windoze keeps putting that option back in.
It is curious since the phone already knows the APN because mobile internet works on the phone itself, just by inserting the SIM card. Clearly it uses the auto-APN protocol to get that. Similarly when I use Joikuspot touse the phone as a modem - no APN config needed there either. why use bluetooth DUN when one can just use wifi, with Joikuspot? Well, JS is not a great solution either. It delivers a computer-computer wifi connection which most windoze computers will not connect to, or not reliably, unless configured to ignore all "infrastructure" (i.e. access point) wifi networks. If there is a normal wifi network in range, the laptop will keep trying to use that instead and won't connect to the JS one. Also, JS offers only WEP encryption which while easily secure enough for this type of occassional usage is not correctly supported by many very modern computing devices (it confuses the h*ll out of Apple IOS stuff, for example) which support only WPA etc. Also wifi uses a lot more battery power in the phone than bluetooth.

View 5 Replies View RelatedRecently i have purchased Nokia 5233 mobile and i activated Mobile Office. Now i am facing a problem like once i exit from internet GPRS connection resumes automatically.

I am trying for some time now to set up my email account on my new Nokia E72 without any success. I hit the email setup button, chose the right access point provided by the mobile company and after I enter the email and password the message "maximum number connections in use. Close an active connection first" appears. Here I only have two options OK or CANCEL. Hitting CANCEL it just gets out of what I was doing. Hitting OK it only gives me the acces point which I am using without any other option so I have to close it. Could anyone help me with this problem please?
View 4 Replies View RelatedAfter just paying alot of monies for this handset, I feel let down...
1. Most obvious and talked about is the OVi Maps update. Iv read this is on its way, I hope its soon!
2. No MMS
3. No SMS without conversations, I hate conversations. I hate that nokia are copying iphone...
4. No copying of old SMS to N900. I was a N86 8MP user before this handset arrived today. I have about 1 to 2 THOUSAND messages, from over the years and Im a texaholic, so I NEED to save them....
5. No extra data connections, With O2 UK, I would normally have 3 connections:
O2 MMS
O2 WAP
O2 GPRS
But in addition to this, the new sim cards, automatically have a O2 postpay wap connection. So, I would like to have as many connections as I can!
6. No editing contact number description text. With, another let down, I have hundreds of contacts and about 10-30 of those have more than 2 or 3 numbers. For example, my workplace contact. I had like 10 to 11 numbers, plus other details, such as notes and emails all stored under 1 contact! For each number and note, I edited the text so I know exactly whos number it was, or what that text related to
I sure there's more, but atm since turning it on, charging, updating to latest firmware and first time boot with sim card, this is what I have found so far...
I took my phone to Nokia care center, but now the mobile data is not connecting and the wi-fi is not connection as well.
