Hello, i have a problem with my Samsung Galaxy S. When i close the Mobile Connecrions and select use only 2G it still using "E" i belive its Edge still have a connection to the internet!!!
How i can close all the internet connections and use only the Wi-Fi?
Unselect 2g aswell?
2G and Edge is the same radio, when your 2G is not using data, it drops to Edge to standby until you engage onto 2G, 3G, HDPA, etc
if you want it all off, then uncheck everything, and use only wifi
i suppose you did not buy a Data Plan?
if that is the case, most carriers will throw and error back to your phone, about "there's no internet conectivity" or some other related merror message
you have to call your carrier to dissable it, else if you use data, they will charge you on a per use rate, which usually is stupidly expensive.
here what i do and have no answer?! when i uncheck everithing it's the same still getting online :S
here what i`m doing
Settings/Wireless and networks/Mobile Networks nothing is checked and same :S i`m still online. When is Unchecked 2G is HSCD or something? still online :S is there some software to cancel all connections to internet.
you can try plane mode
but that will also stop WiFi
by the way this topic should be in "Galaxy S I9000 General" not in Development section

I've had a Tilt since it launched and have run multiple different roms. What has always happened since I bought it, is that my internet connection will drop when I'm on a phone. I don't understand. I shouldn't, right? None of my other non-WM phones dropped the internet connection.
That's one of the things I loved about GSM, I could be talking on the phone (via BT) and use the internet on it, but not anymore with this phone. IM+ will disconnect all the IM clients, which is the most annoying one. I think I've heard people in this forum say they don't have this problem. Is it a flaw with Windows Mobile itself (Microsoft catering to CDMA), the Kaiser model, firmware or my phone itself?
yep, drops my HSDPA when on call as well. It's probably normal.
hey man you know you can only use the phone and the internet at the same time on a 3g conection right? if its not that then i dont know whats up try a new rom i guess
hey i just saw that another person posted in here and had the same problem on a 3g network so i tried it out i can use the phone for data and a call at the same time im using a wm 6.1 rom not sure what one maybe its a problem with the service in your area
Man, some commas would really help..
Anyway.. when you say that u can use phone and internet at the same time - have you actually tried being on the call and browse internet? It does stay connected, but there is no traffic.
I don't think it has ever worked on my Kaiser. It works on my Razr v3xx. Maybe it is 3G. For some reason, now that I put a new 6.1 rom and a new 6.1 compatible radio, my phone is almost only on EDGE when I used to always be on HSDPA. Well, the battery life is better at least. I'll try again when I connect to a 3G network, which used to be always.
I don't think my Razr was limited to simultaneous voice + data only when on 3G.

I've known this too. Tethering and phone work in 3g for me as well.
yeah i did browse to a few sites made sure it was using the data. even made sure it wasnt just cached pages. hey if ur only getting edge maybe its ur radio rom? i was getting that for awhile new rom and it went away
I'm using HSDPA, never 3G (it switches to HSDPA when 3G is available).. it's definitelly faster.. but I have battery charge issues and no traffic while on call. Perhaps 3G doesn't have those issues, I will try it out.
I do get EDGE sometimes, but it's usually same spots. I guess some towers don't have 3G i-net connection, only EDGE. Some places, however, I always get HSDPA (usually where signal strength is high)
sorry i forgot not all 3g is hsdpa i should of clarified we have hsdpa over here
I have the same problem. 3G or H data connections drop when a call is made or received. reconnects when call is over. Anyone with ideas if it is the phone, radio or rom?
Solved!! After some digging around in the forum I found out that setting a limit to disconnect your data connection will cause this problem. If your using kaisertweak go under "Data" set the "disconnect after" to disabled (default) instead of the 1 minute(advised). for some reason this will now allow data and voice to work together and wont drop your data connection while on call anymore. Good luck with your device.

I had the same problem and this fixed my issue.
I'm in the UK, and using a Touch Diamond.....on Vodafone 3G. When I'm connected to WIFI, I obviously want to use that for data, rather than use up my precious data allowance.
When I'm connected to a WIFI connection, how do I know Opera/IE/Email are using WIFI - and not my 3G connection? There are times when I'm in my house, and I know it's using my phone data connection, as it's just so slow (very limited reception 3G in my house)....whereas the WIFI should be pretty fast.
i COULD be wrong here.... but the way i know is if the WIFI icon at the top shows connected. If you rphone cant find the WIFI, it'll always divert to a data connection. Play with your phone around the house, see where you get connectivity and how strong to your wifi.

Yes I know when I'm connected to WIFI and how strong it is....what I want to know is how I know whether my phone is using 3G/GPRS - when I am connected to WIFI and want it to use WIFI and not my phone network. There seems to be no indication to show you are actually 'using' the WIFI network over the phone network....
Settings > Communication Settings.
Turn data connection off, turn wifi on.
Do that before you use internet and your sorted.
On both my Diamond and Touch Pro, the Wi-Fi icon appears on the task bar when Wi-Fi is available. Same goes for 3G.
Also note that some programs call for a certain connection method automatically. For example, you will note that some programs initiate 3G instead of using your Wi-Fi connection. Hopefully, there is a configuration option for such apps.
Cheers.
i don't know if you notice it, but if you are connecting through E or H or G or 3G.. the reception bar instead of the antenna you will get the corresponding letter if you are currently connected to one of them
As long as your WiFi is on and none of those letters are showing up.. you will be fine
I'm in Australia, and with Telstra on their regular GSM network (no 3G). I don't have a data plan, so I don't want my phone to ever use data. Up until recently, I didn't have Telstra's APN programmed into my Dream, but I discovered that I couldn't read MMS without it in there, so I put it in. I now ocassionally see the icon with the 2 up/down arrows and the 'E' in my notifications bar when I don't have WiFi connectivity, and I can only assume that means it's using Telstra to check emails, etc. which I don't want...
I've gone in to the wireless controls and ticked "Use 2G networks only", but that doesn't seem to help it. It's going to end up costing me a lot if it keeps using data through my mobile provider. I have WiFi in 90% of the places I go, so I have no need for a data plan!
try to adjust your apn so that the username and password sections are blank. to see if that works just try and connect to a webpage without wifi on.

try downloading APNdroid. It disables all but non data apn's i think (make sure you test your phone to see if you do receive the MMS)
Also make sure data roaming is disabled ( Settings > Wireless Settings > Mobile Settings )
Gang:
I might have dropped my phone (or not).
But, it now won't connect on the 3G signal, (EDGE and GPRS seem to work).
It constantly is seeking the 3G connection "overruling" the EDGE and GPRS connections so I'm constantly missing calls and lose connections (both data and voice).
Is there a way to block the 3G connection (so it will connect on, and stay connected on, the EDGE and/or GPRS signals)? I'm over my head here, but perhaps in the registry?
For bonus: if anyone knows how to fix the 3G connection, let me know too. It "connects", but can't use data or phone in or out.
Thanks in advance.

did the options search provided not work?

Options search? Need a bit more. What's that please?
that's the stuff you got when you searched your problem.. Which is part of the rules, you need to try and figure out how to solve your problem on your own..
Go to your Comm Manager, there should be an option to toggle off 3G.
I dont use / dont give a great deal of GPRS - Edge Speed on my Galaxy Note unless i have few emails to be checked as the Social Networking and stuff like that are Blocked in my Office //
So anyways the Question is ... When i want to Connect to GPRS I click / TaP on the Power Button and select "Data Network mode" and it shows Activated and I see that 'E" symbol on the Notification Panel showing up ... but However Sometimes I dont see that getting showed up and wont be able to Connect to GPRS at all ... and the only way to resolve this is I got to reboot the Phone.
anyone else is facing this issue ? .... Mine is Vodafone Mobile connect Plan.
Ofcourse i plan to move to 3G.
Thanks

When you press power button
data network mode either activated/decactivated, you can toggle it by tapping it.
so you mean to say data network mode is not highlighted
OR
it not works even you tap it?

Hi again Ketan,
WHen I Tap on that Option it shows as Activated but i dont see the 'E' Symbol in the Notification area and hence wont be able to Connect to GPRS.
However I say this happens 2/5 times.
I am in 50-50 whether it phone issue ? or network issue ?
The same thing i also tried with "Settings - WireLess & Networks - Mobile Networks - Use Packet Data " ... most of the time it works but when i am in urgent damn it doesnt show up ... I had to reboot the Phone.
any idea where is the Issue ?
This weired thing i have seen on friend's device. Though it was galaxy fit, but i remember it was happen to perticular network, he had another sim card n thr was no issue on other. So i believe it should b network side. Try changing sim card, just buy new sim n try it.

Even i was using vodafone. I experienced the same problem. That is because of the network. The only thing you can do is whenever you lose the 3G or 2G data, you need to switch on to airplane mode and then switch it off. I used airplane mode toggle application from the market. Once you go into airplane mode and come back you will be getting the data network. But this failed to work few times. So i changed my network to bsnl and now i don't have any issues.
It looks to me Network issue .. I am also Using Vodafone.
Anyways lets see after i migrate to 3G whether this problem will be resolved or not.
Thanks
Sai
i was using 3G in vodafone. The problem was not solved thats why i changed to BSNL. So before changing the plan try it once.
This seems to be happening to me too. I have been using the Galaxy Note II with 3G on Vodafone without any issues for a month now, but today irrespective of me switching on the mobile data, the icon won't show up nor would internet work. I have restarted, toggled flight mode but no avail.

yes, I have seen this on my note, and I have used airtel 3g aim, reliance as well but still the same. only way is to reboot the phone. anything else I do will not restore data connection
