HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\ConnMgr\Planner\Settings\
the 1st key is CacheTime the number denotes the number of seconds to wait before the auto disconnect
set it to: 60
the 2nd key is Multiline value / String SuspendResume which can have 2 values
set it to: GPRS_bye_if_device_off

i got the first line, where do i fine multiline?

A quick method - create a bogus connection for GPRS and set that as default
Settings\All Settings\Connections\Connections\Manage Existing Connections
Click New...
Enter a name... I used "Bogus Connection"
Select modem: Cellular Line
Enter the numner: Any bogus number - I used "12345678"
User Name: Anything
Password: leave blank
Domain: anything
Click OK. When back at your list of connections, select the bogus connection radio button. Whenever a program tries to access the internet and there is no WiFi, the phone will now prompt you to enter the password for the bogus connection. Re-enabling the actual GPRS connection is easy - just select the correct radio button.

Hi everyone,
I've got a similar problem. My Diamon 2 keeps connecting to SFR's wap through the EDGE network everytime I open TomTom for some strange reason...
I've just tried the woraround that Larry suggested but it didn't work for me. My phone still connects to SFR's WAP .
Maybe the easiest thing for me would be to flash HSPL and then a stock HTC ROM. Do you think it would help?

Installing a stock HTC ROM solved my problem so it looks like it was all down to the SFR customized ROM...

Modaco NoData seems to keep closing itself on my Topaz. I've tried adding to exclusive programs list in Task Manager but that doesn't help - it still keeps shutting itself down for some reason.
No idea why, getting frustrated now. Why can't WM handle data connections like Symbian...

GPS not working in the UK

I unlocked my AT&T Captivate to work with UK sim cards, and it works great. Unfortunately, the GPS doesn't seem to work at all over here. There's enough problems as it is with the GPS, but it literally picks up 0 satellites. It doesn't seem to be functioning at all!
Any suggestions?

you need to change the supl server in lds test mode, in jupiter.xml and in conf.gps(the last one might be wrong) just use a gps fix like da_g's or or plumb_bob's with google/global settings and make sure lbs test mode is set to match the other files.
plumb_bob's fix uses msbased mode for agps others default to stand alone, msbased agps will likely help it pick up those satalites. but remember you cant simply set lbs test mode and have it work all the time you really need to use plumb_bob's update or make similar edits to your configuration files. for plumb bob's fix just follow the first post.
i personally have great sucsess with da_g's control plane version and i set the lbs supl/control plane menu to;
custom config
supl.google.com
7276
off
control plane
another thing to consider is the modem.bin. you need one that has the 900 band correct? maybe try the armani one or i think kp1 from the i9088 has all the bands but needs to be set to 900 manually. it also has great gps reception.

Thanks for all the tips I'll be trying them out shortly. One thing though is that I want to use the GPS, not the aGPS, because I don't want to use data while I'm over here (it's expensive). I've cached maps and wish to use the GPS to navigate while I'm out and about. Will these changes still help me?
Thanks!

Just a quick bump. Will da_G's fix work without any data connection?
Thanks!
EDIT: well it doesn't seem to no. The only way I can get a GPS lock here in London is with 3g data enabled. That is very unfortunate and annoying, I was hoping to use maps offline!

[Q] Is anyone able to locate yourself with GPS alone?

With data from network I can identify the location instantly. However, if I uncheck "Use wireless network", I have never located myself on Googles Maps. Is it a defect on the GPS?
Thanks in advance!

Google maps doesn't includes world map installed, it only store some caches.. you still need network to download map data & network based location, GPS is used for more accurate result & yes it's true p970 gps is not so good.

Thanks for your help! In fact, I already have cache of Google Maps, then turn off the wireless connection, to figure out the performance of the GPS alone. It sucks!
BTW, I used HTC Touch before and its GPS could identify the location very quickly.

have you test with the GPS fix (in hidden menu) ?

Actually you are wrong, GPS in very good in OB.
I used it for a trip of 700 KM and it has difficulty only the first time when it aquires a position (this is normal if you don't use AGPS) like 3-4 minutes...
On the road I turned off GPS by simply locking the screen (IGO8), and on relaunch the GPS position will not take more than 30 seconds. I don't have any data on my contract so it was purely GPS!
The first time it's normal to take a very long time because a large number of sattelites have to be aquired to for pin-point accuracy. Afterword I think it works with 2-3 visible sattelites!
My previous phone was a HTC Diamond, and it was exactly the same if I dind't used the GPS app every day that downloaded sattelites in advance.

It works but it's slow (as it should be). For me it's around 1 minute in hidden menu. Best place for testing outside hidden menu is Compass app (If you don't have data connection for maps)
For hidden menu:
1. Go into the LG hidden menu (3845#*970#)
2. Go into GPS Test
Test it (you need activated GPS of course)
if it's really slow, try this (I think it's if you use network to pinpoint but everyone is suggesting it, so I will too)
1. Go into System Settings
2. SULP Setting -> SLP Server Setting
create new:
Nokia (slp address: supl.nokia.com, port: 7275, no cert and no TLS setting)
If it still doesn't work, try other variants (LGE SUPL, Spirent, etc).

Thanks everyone!
It works now! The. GPS is quite sensitive!
Sent from my LG-P970 using XDA App

In the gps test in the hidden menu, there's not such option as gps fix.
Me too, I'm interested in using my gps without the assistance of the network cells. I've already tried the three supl servers and it doesn't seems to work for me. So, if someone knows how to use it without network assistance I'll be really grateful.
Thanks in advance.

It should work out of the box.. afaik, you don't need to mess with the SLP servers unless you are using some sort of assisted GPS mode (with wifi or 3g connection). I'm using it straight out of the box (after installing the fresh firmware) and it works normal in the car (1-2 minutes first fix, a couple of seconds for any other subsequent fix). Getting a first fix while on foot does take a bit longer, but that's true with all the other non-android devices I've had. the OB has normal (no more, no less) sensitivity when it comes to GPS.

i think there it`s a problem in OB mine has problems with gps too , and already o try`d all kind of apps and even use the gps standalone from the fresh new update soft and nothing , fix the gps for the first time and after then i can`t travel with standalone gps

[Q] Get many satellite ,but GPS locate so a long time

Hi!
I use Topogigi 2.0, sp1, sp2 and sp3 with Neoblaze kernel ,and finish GPSFIX.
My setting about gps.conf is below:
NTP_SERVER=tw.pool.ntp.org
XTRA_SERVER_1=http://xtra1.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin
XTRA_SERVER_2=http://xtra2.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin
XTRA_SERVER_3=http://xtra3.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin
SUPL_HOST=supl.nokia.com
SUPL_PORT=7276
And my setting about GPS test (1809#*990# Hidden Menu)
MOLR Protocol = User Plane
SULP Setting part
SLP Server = Nokia (port 7276) without TLS Setting
SLP Auto Provision is on
Misc. = Auto Cold Start is on
Get Position setting part
Session type = Tracking
Open Mode = MS-Based
That's all about my GPS setting.
When I open GPS , it can get 5~7 satellites in 10~15 seconds.
But it finished locating in few minutes ,not in few seconds.
Before flash this rom ,I can get GPS position in less than 1 minute.
So I think some settings I have problems or need to fix.
Thank you!

I can quickly get many satellites, but finish position need to take a long time.
It's about wifi or 3G network?

It's Wifi, you can't lock satellites while Wifi is on.
Have you tried to turn GPS on, then reboot your phone? It works for some people, and then you have to leave your GPS on, it dosn't drain battery as long as no app is using it.

Is there any setting problem on rom?

[Q] Z3C connects to mobile internet although disabled

Hi,
currently, I don't have an unlimited data plan, but switch on mobile internet on demand, for a single day. Most of the time I'm using wifi.
Now, I own my Z3C only for two weeks. Some days ago, I was travelling and thus configured and switched on mobile internet for the first time with this phone, for a single day. I am pretty sure I switched mobile internet off in the evening.
But looking into my provider's online overview today, I noticed that since then, my phone used mobile internet from time to time (about every five hours or so). The amount of data seems to be low (<1kB), but anyway, up to today that triggered four additional days of mobile internet usage without me needing that and even without me knowing that.
Can anybody explain what's going on there - and especially how to switch that behavior off?
The phone is stock, unchanged, and unrooted (all updates installed). No MMS have been sent or received. The data usage in settings does not give any helpful information.

Your not alone, im having the same problem. I haven't found any solutions nor any reference to such problem until now. I also have stock rom, hardly any additional apps, turned off automatic updates etc. But it still connects to internet, behind my back for A SECOND, sometimes in every ten minutes, sometimes once a day. A temp solution is to delete the APN settings, but this does not solve the problem.
SO CAN ANYONE HELP US?

I have a guess. It's either Anonymous data sending or phone usage. These two .apks send anonymous data to Sony, probably even using mobile data. It's a guess tough.
Nevertheless, I have removed them since I'm rooted.

Can i somehow determine, which .apk is sending/receiving data, alldough i'm offline.

You can try Onavo, but I believe those services will be masked under OS/Android, so it's hard to pinpoint them.
Also you van try the default app in > Settings, Data Usage (Mobile Data only)

In the meantime, I found a cure: Changing Settings -> Location -> Mode from "High accuracy" to "Battery Saving" immediately stopped the network access.
According to some other forum, assisted GPS is the reason, so using either "High accuracy" or "Device only" will both cause GPS to ask the mobile network for AGPS data from time to time. It is yet unclear to me why this also happens when I have an active WLAN connection.
With that knowledge, removing ",supl" from the APN type (and saving the APN afterwards!) could also disable fetching of AGPS data from the mobile network while mobile internet is switched off, but I didn't test that yet.

Hey
thanks for the update, i'm gonna try first "device only" (i had it on high accuracy) and after the APN type change and see if i get any changes.

You have mentioned in signature that "Xperia Z3 Compact | Completely Stock - Rooted"
I would also like to root my phone but stock root. Can you help me how you did that?

As far as I understood things, that will not help, because "device-only" still activates GPS and thus still uses AGPS.
Did you try it already? What are your findings?

I just checked, it made no changes (device only). Today from 00.00 to (strangely) 11.00 clock, is the internet on/off count 53 times. I can see that the connections were 0 sec and 1 kB. So what now?

So i switched GPS off all together, and it seems to be working, no internet connection has been made. I also noticed that for a while the device changed the settings from device only to high accuracy itself. I deleted the ",supl" lets see what happens.

Actually the phone stopped surfing on its own before i deleted "supl" and i think the problem was google and its location history. Im going to test furder. Did you get it under control?

So, over a month has passed and i have some good and bad news. The good news is, that the problem for me has stopped(12.02), the bad news is, i don't know why. I made many changes and now i don't know what affected it. But my guess is that it was the deleting of "supl". Because in one month i had all the settings(location, battery saver etc) on and off and it didn't affect the data usage. 16.03 i got lollipop on my device and this also didn't change it back.
