Xperia X10 Mini/pro :: Understanding All Internet (cost) Settings?
Aug 24, 2010
I've been using my X10 Mini for about 3 months now. This is my first Android/smartphone device.I've been shocked so many times at the unbelievable cost of internet usage (or related) costs on the device. I'm currently in Italy (for now) and the costs here are even worse than at home. Totally, totally shocking.What I'd like to do is identify and understand, then control all the settings related to this. I hope this helps out others in the future.
1 Settings, Wireless & Network, Mobile Network, DATA ROAMING, DATA TRAFFIC . So roaming for outside your usual network, traffic is WHAT? Allow internet in general?
2. Settings, Accounts & Sync, BACKGROUND DATA, this is what? Allow apps to use internet? E.g. for weather apps etc.?
3. Anything related to GPS (various settings in location services and wireless) should be hunted down and switched off.
I've used phones since I was about 12. I've been a tech geek for as long as I know, very early adopter of 3G blah blah but I'm surprised by the complexity of the internet options on these android devices and shocked by the million ways they steal your credit.
After speaking to O2 for a few days now to send me the Internet and MMS Settings which failed to download each and every time, they have now sent me
1) Internet Settings: Homepage: http://wap.o2.co.uk/ AP address: payandgo.o2.co.uk Gateway (I) address: 193.113.200.195 Username: paying Password: password Session type: Continuous or permanent Authentication: Normal Security: Off Port number: 9201.
2) Picture messaging settings: Data Bearer: PR Access Point Node (AP): payandgo.o2.co.uk User ID: paying Password: password Authentication: Normal Gateway: 193.113.200.195 MS Message Server: http://mmsc.mms.02.co.uk:8002 Session Mode: Permanent.
Them. ^ I'm now confused as to where I enter them. I have the Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini Pro.
I have Sk17i phone and recently the screen of it got damaged. But now as per service center, It will cost me 11k rupees for the repair. The phone cost is 13.5k? How can the maintenance cost be too high?
I cant connect to internet using x10 mini pro. I have downloaded gprs settings but when I use the browser. It give an error no internet connection. I have tried everything in the support page but no luck.
I cannot get past the Set up Iphone page when trying to transfer my old 3S phone to new 4s, all my contact etc carries over to the new phone but everytime i connect back to the iTunes it ask me to do the same thing. I am trying to set the new phone back to factory settings but it asking for a restriction passcode, I dont have one???
SO my iPhone is having problems with the camera and it reboots when I open the back camera and I wanted to know if I do an erase all content and settings if that will have to do with downloading software and updating?
So I have been traveling a lot, and wherever I've been there's one common thing. it costs an arm and a leg to call back to the US from iPhone, regardless if roaming on AT&T, or using that country's local SIM.I have both Google Voice +, and Skype.GV + is nice for texting, but the nature of it's operation is you dial a number and it dials you back to complete the call, which negates the purpose because then it's still using airtime if roaming on AT&T, and if using a foreign SIM it won't dial out to connect the call to an international.Skype is great because when I'm on a hotel's WiFi or 3G network I can use it to call back to the US to toll-free numbers, however it doesn't allow free calls to standard area-code numbers (like homecell phones.Is there any alternative I'm not seeing? What do people use to accomplish this? I would love to see a company like Vonage or MagicJack come up with an application that would do what I'm looking for, but it seems like there are regulatory hurdles they're facing to accomplish it from what I'm reading online.
need to know 3ginternet settings for tata docomo in india "After changed my plan from 2g to 3g My internet is not working in ma Xperia Ray (ICS update. what i need to change in APN or internet settings to have internet in my mobile.
who has the x10 mini what exactly I should be inputting for the correct settings? I have the info off the three.co.uk page & I know where they should be entered on the phone but the info isn't exactly the same (the phone has "proxy" "port" "MMS proxy" "MMS port" which two out of these four should I enter the details from three's website I have tried umpteen times to get it right.
When I go to "settings > basic settings > settings download > O2 Pay & Go" to download my settings for Internet and MMS the 3G icon does not appear in the taskbar and then says "Could not download settings, retry?"
When I connect to my router I can go on websites and stuff fine, I want to be able to use the internet when I'm on the move also.
I am unable to connect to internet from day 1.I tried contacting with my network operator and he sent twice the downloading settings,but i didn't receive them.where can i download the applications like recorder , mp3 cutter etc.Also , the ringer volume of the phone is very low....is there any way we can increase the volume.
I just got a Xperia Ray ST18a. During the setup wizard I was able to connect to my home wifi but when it tried to download the carrier internet settings (AT&T) it would return an error dialog "Could not download settings. Retry?"
I then had the phone check for updates via wifi and it found Gingerbread 2.3.4. I installed that. I still cannot get the carrier settings. I'm trying to do this now by Settings, Sony Ericsson, Internet Settings. Same error message.
My wife has an Xperia Neo ST15a. It was setup a month ago in the same location also with AT&T. Her phone had no problem getting the settings.
Yes Data service is 'ticked' and please don't say 'Call your carrier'. I prefer that AT&T not know what type phone I am using. And YES I do realize I could go on my wife's phone for the settings, but I feel the automated method should work.
My pc companion wouldnt update my phone to 2.3.3 so i decided to flash it to get the update that way, but now that ive done that i dont have any internet settings and apparantly i need to get sony ericsson to text me them
Somehow i'm not able to access my settings anymore. It gives the following error code (translated from dutch) 'The application 'Settings' (proces com.android.settings) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again'.I haven't downloaded any new apps recently, no new SIM or SD. I've already tried removing battery, SIM card etc. and putting them back in.
i m having the xperia x10mini which i got unlock from my brother and i would like to setup the gprs for internet on it. in the phone settings there is a tap for phone settings but it is not working for me. and still i have the 1.6 android os i tried to download it but it did not update also..
i am using GPRS services for now almost an year and half. i was having windows mobile till 16th Sept'11 on which i was using gprs very happily but on 17th Sept'11, i did purchase Xperia mini from G. V. Puntambekar(Pune based dealer). The phone is now installed OS as Andriod 2.3. Ever since i have purchased the phone i am not able to use GPRS services on it. I did speak to Airtel (my current service provider) and whatever settings they have given but not able to save them on my phone bcoz it asks for MCC and then MNC code. hence after talking to Airtel somehow i got these code. but depite of entering them into the settings along with other settings, i am still not able to use gprs. i was told that once you save the gprs manual settings it creates a profile on phone but it is not saving any profile on my phone. Sony dealer is sayingthat it is a service provider problem and Service provider is saying that we have given you all the settings so it is a phone manufacturer's problem. I am getting penalised in these two contradictory statements. Without GPRS the phone is like any ordinary phone. I feel like cheated even after paying Rs.13000/- and buying Sony's product. Feels like lesson learnt that never buy SONY product again..
Our College We Have Wifi Network.But We Have To Use Proxy Address To Access.In My Mini Pro I Find The Network.But It Says Limited Access. How Can I Configure Proxy Settings In Mini Pro.
i have successfully upgraded to 2.1.Still facing some problems...My Notification tone always beeps with a vibrating mode as well...When i tried to disable the vibration mode, To my surprise i could not find SMS settings option in the SettingsSonyericsson?? menu....i have settings for camera, timescape only..So shud i repair my upgrade?
i was just wondering if i can change the settings for my camera such as, the photo's size or can it zoom while taking a picture? i'm quite confuse on how to use the camera. i don't know where is the settings for camera.
I only got EDGE using Tmobile while my other phone Xpeira Z1 can get LTE at the same location. I did set the APN manually [URL] .... since the auto download "Internet & MMS settings" didn't work. I tried to update the phone using "Update Center" but it said I have the most updated version already.
I gladly installed the 2.1 update on my girlfriends mobile and everything worked fine. However, under "Settings - Language&Keyboard" there is NO menu item for Android keyboard.... As it appears, she uses the standard T3 enty mode and simple does not like the recommended words. There is no way to set it back now and I am thinking about playing it back to 1.6 despite the advantages coming with it.
I have recently updated my X10 mini to the new 2.1. However I have tried to get into/adjust my accessibility in the settings. But nothing happens. I can't turn the tick on or off?
