Database Develop

HELP!!!Toggle Data

yesterday i download an app called toggle data from the market and tried to see if it worked. well it worked turning of data but now my phones data wont turn back on. keeps saying disconnected even when i make a testing shortcut.
and i uninstalled itconfused. can anyone download the app and post it so i can install it bk to my phone to see if i can get it to turn my data back on. if that fails i don't know what to do.HELP!!! plz

Edit: Just read camurphy's post below. He (or she) is the developer of the toggle app and explains how it works in detail.

Hi djlucklu,
I am very sorry about the trouble my application caused you. jashsu is correct. It is similar to APNDroid however it modifies the APN type of each APN on the phone. It sets APN type to a single hyphen and this prevents the phone from connecting to that access point. It stores the original value of APN type into a database when disabling, and when re-enabling it restores these values. This method works perfectly on my development G1 and in the emulator however unfortunately for about 50% of people it seems something is failing.
Go to Settings -> Wireless controls -> Mobile networks -> Access Point Names and edit each access point in the list. Make sure that APN type is not set to a hyphen. If you clear the value (it will be displayed as '<Not set>') the phone should try and connect to that access point.
I hope this works for you and once again I am very sorry about this.

Hey again, I located the bug that prevented the app from working on your phone. Version 1.1 is now published on Android Market and that bug is fixed.
Clearing the value of APN type for all the access points on your phone should let you connect to the Internet again.
Apologies again for the inconvenience.

I have a problem reconnecting, I have to reboot/or toggle airplane mode on-off before I can reconnect.
Im no expert on HSPDA but I have had a simmilar problem with incorrect WAP/HSPDA settings on my old nokia where if I put the settings in wrong I would have to reboot the phone before it would connect (this was using Nokia PC suite on my computer)
I had 2 simcards "Vodaphone" and "Three" Ie if I forgot to change the setting to from "3internet" to "vodanet" I would have to reset the phone.

What about mms?
Hi Cameron
I just downloaded your app and it works fine.
My only issue is that it also disables the mms apn. I'm then even not notified that I received an mms until I reactivate it by putting back manually 'mms' in the APN type of the mms apn.
Would it be possible to avoid disabling APNs that have 'mms' as APN type?
Thank you
The G.

Hi FuentesGG,
I released version 2.0 today that is in the form of a home screen widget. When you add the widget to your home screen it allows you to specify whether you'd like to leave MMS enabled. Hope this helps

i love the app, thx camurphy

Hi Cameron,
I've just installed the update to 2.0 and after installing the widget on my screen when the button is green I'm not able to connect and when it's not green.... I'm not able to connect too!
Could you please provide me a solution as the previous advise from this post doesn't work on my phone (HTC Magic from Proximus in Belgium!)
Thx in advance.

Ok... that's working now!!
I've restored my APN settings! Thanks for the app but... that would be great not to break all connections when update is installed!

Thanks !!!

This is just great!!
The widget works fine and visual feedback on the widget is perfect.
Big thanks ;-)

Hi camurphy. I installed your widget today and as soon as I used it I am unable to send sms. I can receive them but not send them. I've tried factory reset and reflashing. Replacing the mms.apk. everything I could think of. I hope you have a solution. Thanks in advance

[Q] Data Enabled Option

I am using an N1 and set it up with Tmobile web2go using the internet2.voicestream.com apn for data and epc.tmobile.com for mms. Now on my G2, I am able to toggle data enabled on and off. On the N1 however, that option is not even available to me. Is there an APN setting I have to have if I'm using web2go or something? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have the data on off option on my nexus one. Though I am using cyanogen ROM but I thought the option was always there...

That is what I thought too but does not seem to be the case. I have the option on my G2. It had micromod's 2.3 on there before and same thing, had no option to toggle data on off, reverted back to stock, still no option. I am assuming its something with APN settings, just not sure what.

Does turning off the mobile data or background data option turn it off? Think its under accounts in main settings.

That option *should* be in Settings --> Wireless & network settings --> Mobile networks.

Yes I know it should be there but it's not. I've also noticed this same exact think on my friends Captivate. There has to be a fix for this.

The option is there on my stockish FRG83D:

Hmm, in that case you could perhaps try one of the various applications available that will toggle your APN settings. I use JuiceDefender; you could use it to create a widget to toggle your data connection from your homescreen.

It's my brothers phone. I'm going to take a look at it later, he said he bought it rooted, had gingerbread on it before hand but asked the guy to revert it to stock before selling it. We'll see.

Ah, so it may or may not actually be stock. If he's looking for a stock experience, I'd suggest following the instructions found in the wiki for reverting back to stock. Otherwise, I'd highly recommend a CyanogenMod ROM for maximum speed and utility.

If it was reverted back to Eclair then it won't have the option, it was added in Froyo.

It could be that, I'll take a look at his phone if I get a chance to go home today. He is a n00b, he is a former iPhone user (not the good kind btw).

He is running Android 2.1-update1 with build EPE76. His phone is rooted, when booting I see the lock icon at the bottom. I've search the forums, can't find the original OTA update.zip file to update it to latest version. Help please?

Download the FRG83 system image from http://developer.htc.com
Use fastboot to flash system.img and boot.img from it to the phone and it will do the rest via OTA.

You are being great help Rusty, thank you. I'm following instructions here (http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Fastboot) and my phone has S-On. Since these files are straight from HTC, do I have to go through and make it S-Off?

You can't make an N1 S-OFF, as long as you see a padlock on startup you're good to go.

Thank you Rusty!, you've been great help.

[Q] the nexus one doen't remember my definitions

hey folks,
i have nexus one, build#: GRI40, android version: 2.3.3, stock.
the problem is my nexus doesn't remember my settings: my luncher, my sms app, my keyboards etc.
i dont remember when it has started (before/after the new version installation), but this is really annoying, every restart i need to set everything again.
how could i make the nexus to remember my definitions?
thanks,
evy

When you set your apps, do you check "Use this by default"? I don't have my phone with me now so I can't check the exact wording of the option but it's usually a checkbox when you select which app you want to use, or you can go to application settings.

yes, but still - when i do restart, i need to set everything again, even if i type V on the default checkbox.

GPS fix for nova v3 and v3.1

1.Enter the "hidden menu" (3845#*970#) -> GPS Test -> System settings -> MOLR Protocol and be sure "User plane" is checked.
2.Now go to SULP Settings (be sure the SLP Auto Provision is enebled)
3.Click SLP Server Setting, select server "OPEN(Google)", click the menu button on touch pad and then click "Edit"
4.Modify the "slp address" to: supl.nokia.com (do not activate TLS setting and leav certification file blank)
5.Click on the menu button from touch pad and "SAVE"
6.Open Google Maps, Igo or whatever do you use for gps, wait until it locates you! (may be slow for first time but after that it will locate you in matter of seconds)
I hope this one works for you guys as it works for me, I really get location very fast, like on stock ROM or nova 1.7.31!

Well, but according to my knowlege this has influence on A-GPS only. Nothing common with sat GPS.

Correct.
Either way, I already changed the supl to Nokia server in the upcoming Nova.
I tested it today with cold lock (sat GPS) and worked fine (app: google maps and GPS timer - 4 sats) and with A-GPS (where Nokia servers might indeed be faster than Google) also worked fine.

can i use this setting here in philippines?
i don't use A-gps
i use directly from sattelite for offline navigation

With Nokia server i got 6 sattelites locked,with Sony Ericsson server i've got about 12,14... (supl.sonyericsson.com)

The real big improvement would be if it was possible to improve the gps tracking once fixed... or without a-gps info.

Lol
That doesn't make the point mgregor, he means the SE server not a SE device.
Also I can confirm this, I've got 9-11 server with SE, 4-5 with Nokia.

dunno, depends on your location too

After editing OPEN(Google) with supl.nokia.com i`ve returned to stock supl.google.com and now everything runs very acurate and fast...
But I have noticed that if I have data disabled, it locates me much more slower.

Are you using 7275 port with Sony Ericsson server?

How to I get 'My location' status to display/update?

I am unable to get the 'my location' status section of the weather widget to actually name my location e.g. Wembley / Westminster / Boston ... Reflecting wherever I am.
I am sure that previous weather apps were able to do this. It would automatically update according to one's location. In settings, all the location options have been selected inc. GPS. The only way I can get a place name to display right now, is if I manually select a city. :-\
I am sûre that i have overlooked something very simple to allow this function to work. Any ideas would be great. Thank you

Is it possible to remove the widget on Blinkfeed screen too ? Because I had the problem on this widget. (new phone should be coming in tomorrow or the day after)

Thanks for the suggestion. Only issue is, the weather app is integrated into blinkfeed, so it cannot be temporarily removed or deleted. Not sure how to get this to work...
EDIT - After de-selecting and selecting location services, went for a reboot of system. Then, prompt box came up on screen, asking whether I agreed or disagreed for Google to collect anonymous location information. I selected Agree and now location is displayed! Solved

The actual cause is in settings, power, fast boot. Turn this off and reboot. Make sure you have location services on as well.

Ah...you're onto something right there. First time I used my phone, I had this unchecked and everything was working just fine.
Then I did check this after a reset...and it wasnt working anymore. So I will make sure it's unchecked.
Thanks !

Thx! The described method also helps if the phone has trouble to find a location indoor without GPS. I couldnt use Google Maps at home cause it would never find a GPS connection.
Now it just uses the WLAN and mobile connection to get the location. Great!
