Hi all
My connection icons on the top menu bar don't appear to be behaving themselves...
Normally when I get a connection either through GPRS or Wifi the arrows usually become static indicating a connection has been made. At the moment whenever a connection is made they are continuously animated, as if they are trying to establsh a connection.
Is there a setting somewhere either through a tweak or registry where this can be put back to normal?
Thanks
A silly question by a new user: how is it possible to stop an internet or data connection (no matter if hsdpa, edge, gprs) once started?
Thanks
use 'long key press' in settings, can be set to disconnect a data connection (sdpa, edge, gprs)
Use this program:

The connection stop after 1 minutes of inactivity

faulty url!
take this one:
GB-SOFT GPRS-UMTS_Tweak_WM6.1_Diamond
there you can choose the idle-time for disconnect
Anyway the manual stopping mode is to tap the bar that is on the top of the sceen...than tap the G E 3G or U icon and so you can tap disconnect.

Cool, also in stead of holding the end call button, wich locks the phone in my case,
Dubbelclicking the end call button alse ends my edge connection.
In order for your end key to stop the connection, you have to go to Settings>System>Long Press End Key>Select Terminate data connection
Then when you press and hold your end key, it will end the connection
if you prefer to stop internetconnection by shortcut, try VJKeyPress.exe 126
this one toggles internet connection
i've searched and i've searched and i cant find the resolve!
after retrieving hotmail, the connection stays active, meaning bars are lit up. for HOURS after unless i long-press-end key or something like that. even when i am surfing the web, after a page is fully loaded, the bars stay lit. on my old diamond, the bars used to go gray or "dormant" etc. therefore no tweaks i have found help (i.e. most operate with this rule "if the connection is dormant/inactive for xx minutes, turn off data" etc. well my connection remains ACTIVE unless i manually intervene)
what is causing this??? i only have spb mobile shell and spb phone suite installed. stock ROM.
hello? anyone? NO one is having the same issue or can help with this??? at this point i'd even be happy with a rude comment about how i should learn how to search coupled with a few links to threads which contain the answers! :\
I'm not sure I understand your question.
You're saying the connection stays alive after using mail or opera?
By default, WMo does not turn off data connection, so once you've made a data connection, it stays on.
Now, there are lots of programs out there that turns off data connection after a pre-set time. If you have Advanced Config on your Diamond, it's somewhere in there as well (I use SKTools and not Advacned Config so I can't point you exactly where, but it's there)
That said, many have tested battery drain and find that leaving the data connection ON or OFF makes absolutely no difference on the battery drain. It's only when you're transmitting data that drains more battery. Not sure if that's where you're coming from to want to turn off data connection

number16, my savior! i'll try to explain as best i can: when the data connection is started/being used, those left-right arrows appear above the signal strength, correct? what i call "active" is when those arrows are lit (presumably when data is actually being transferred). what i call "dormant" is when the arrows are still there but are gray/not lit (i.e. connection is still open, but not currently transferring data). well, up until a 2 wks ago, all seemed fine - the arrows would briefly stay lit when downloading a page, connecting to hotmail, etc, but then would go gray once the transfer was complete. now however, the arrows stay lit. sometimes for hours at a time even tho nothing is running, no data (that i know of) is being transferred, etc.
so what i was saying is that, yes, i know i can long-press-end key to shut it down, but that only works if i notice it otherwise it's just draining my battery. (most times it is in my pocket, and since it checks hotmail periodically, the data connection may open and stay on without me noticing). and yes, i know about advanced config setting (and actually, i DO have it set to turn off after a minute) BUT that only applies if "connection is not active for more than a minute". i.e. since my whole problem is that my data connection technically stays active, that advanced config setting doesnt work.
so my question is, what is keeping the connection active? why is it doing this? i am running stock ROM and only have spb mobile shell and spb phone suite loaded. and a few other minor tweaks via advanced config/regedit. i even tried spb wireless monitor to see what was active after a data transfer was complete (as far as i could tell) but it didnt really tell me anything.
does all that make sense?
thanks for any help you can provide...
Hello i have this issue with data connection it seems to have started since using gremote, but that maybe nothing to do with it. when bluetooth is enabled i get a icon at the top of the screen with 2 arrows pointing left and right when i tap on this it says network card connected witht he options to go to comm manager it also shows orange mms (hsdpa) and i cant use any data services such as weather tab out brows the internet on ie or opera. is i close bluetooth this goes away and arrows turn in to a H and all data connections work fine.
what have i done wrong? i was also using the phone as a router but have removed that application to no affect as it was just a trial.
can anyone advise?
thanks
ANYONE? its driving me nuts!
Upon some reading of the user manual, I have decided to edit my post.
The service icon on my Tilt (shows the big E, 3G, H, etc), which also shows the wi-fi radio and whether I'm connected to a computer, has stopped refreshing itself.
After starting up, it shows the opposing arrows with an "x" indicating no service. I do have service, though. If I do anything (activate wi-fi, connect to a computer, etc), the icon changes to that, but once done, it stays there. It doesn't refresh back to the big H (or E) that should be there, nor does it go all the way back to the no service indicator.
The most recent thing I did before this happened was to try a registry tweak to remove the clock (and hopefully put up the battery meter) in PointUI Home 2. Even after undoing the tweak, the icon still doesn't work.
Any and all help is greatly appreciated.
If it helps have things make sense, it's the big connectivity icon, not the little service icon with the bars.
If I connect via wi-fi, when I turn off wi-fi, the icon stays the same. If I connect to a computer, when I disconnect, the icon stays the two opposing arrows. After a soft reset, I get the two broken arrows.
Regardless, I never get the E or H I used to normally have.
Help anyone?
I tried installing JUVS's Large Title Bar and while the small icon on the title bar wasn't right, the large icon for the connectivity was the large H I've been missing. I do have the small H with my signal bars, but have not had the big connectivity H icon (or E or G) for a couple weeks.
Does anyone have any clue?
Is the lack of suggestions due to things not being clear, or is everyone actually stumped?
Hi
I’m having a problem with data connections and my network. In the top right hand corner on the home page, when the “G” box is displayed beside the signal bars everything is fine. However when the device detects another connection like 3G, H or E and is then displayed on the top corner instead of the “G” I cannot send/receive texts and it’s the same for phone calls. Is there a way to stop the device showing these as it is really annoying to only be able to send texts and make calls only when the “G square” is displayed. can i some how stop other data connections and just have the "G", as only when the “G” is displayed does my network work correctly. Has anyone else had this? And how can I fix the problem? Thanks in advance.
You might have tried this but disable GSM in the Comm Manager and see what happens. Might also make sure the HSDPA is disabled in the settings..
Are you using the stock ROM? what version?

Hi
Thanks for your reply. I think I may have solved it by using a new comm Manager with the option of turning 3G off, so far looks good. I will give it a few days testing and see. I will get back to you if any further problems exist, cheers.
