Gprs connexion working only after restart

So the problem is pretty much described in the title. If I use gprs after restart it works, but after a while if I try it again it just doesnt connect anymore. I use apndroid. Doesnt it connect without this app either? Just wonderin.
So any ideas why after a time of use gprs just doesnt work anymore? Maybe a setting I missed? Maybe a program i use?
Thanks a lot.

uninstall apndroid
reboot
try again
that might be causing it

I will. But now how can I turn connection on and off? Where do I start it from? Sorry for the childish questions, but I am a symbian freak not an android one.

as long as it has the APN settings configured, it will go on
you can't really turn it off easily, unless you set the phone into Air Plane Mode from settings menu

So you mean that if wifi is off, the gprs will just start when I need a data connection? No need to activate it manually?

Just uninstalled that app. Worked after restart. Then I use wifi to answer you, and now tried gprs. It just doesnt transfer anything anymore. Extremely annoying.

if you turn off WiFi it will automatically switch back to GPRS/EDGE/3G/H
as soon as you turn on WiFi, it will switch from 3G/2G/G back to WiFi

Yeah I know that. I meant that after I use wifi and turn it off, gprs wont work if I try it.

that's an interesting bug.
have you tried doing the factory reset?
or reloading a new ROM ?

I am not that masoquistic yet to factory reset the phone. ) I am trying to install that bull**** Kies now but its taking forever. Samsung is horrible at this. Is there a way that after a factory reset (or a firmware upgrade) to restore everything like it was before? ay really good backup application?

[Q] How do I turn off EVERYTHING but bluetooth and wifi

Ok, so I am about to go out of country and have no plans of using mobile data or mobile phone while I am gone. If I put the phone in airplane mode, I cannot use my bluetooth headphones, which I'd like to be able to do. So how can I COMPLETELY shut off the phone transmissions, but still allow bluetooth and wifi? Is there an app for that?
In settings you can turn off mobile data, but the phone radio still seeks out towers which I do not want it to do.

Just recently figured this one out
Download the app "Network" <-Link
Open it up, scroll down till you see the button "Turn off radio"
Click it
Turn on the wifis and bluetoofs
Now you have them enabled with the radio disabled but not in airplane mode

AWESOME. That solved it. Thank you!!

One quick follow-up question. Once I turn the radio off, if I pull down the drop down menu, it says "Looking for Service." I am assuming it is NOT using battery to look for service, even though it says that, right??

Actually, AFAIK, if you turn on Airplane mode, and THEN turn on Bluetooth and WiFi, the cell radio will still be off, but BT and WF will work still. At least WiFi works for me like that.

No. Bluetooth will not work on the hero. At least on every Fresh ROM I've ever had, you cannot turn on bluetooth in airplane mode . . . maybe wifi, but that is less important to me.

I finally found a app that works. Download Network by Philipp Mangelow in market. Start the app, scroll down until you see "turn off radio" button and press. After that just exit the app, activate bluetooth and the radio stays off. Works perfectly on my Transform. Let me know if this works for you!

nvm delete

Turning gsm radio off PERMANENTLY?

Hello all!
I was wondering of there is any way to switch.off.the gsm radio of the tab completely and permanently.
I found a solution using service code in the dialer but after resrtarting the device the annoying icon comes back onto the status.bar.
Thanks in advance!

Are you trying to convert it to a WiFi only model?

Seen that there are no updates here so I thought I'd stop by and ask how you made out?
If you still haven't done anything about it, have a look at this post

Just got a possible solution from frgking12!
I'll post it here if someone would like to try it:
I used Llama to create an Event called "Start Up" which will automatically turn Airplane Mode ON, wait 1 minute, then turn Wifi ON. This essentially makes it a Wifi only device and conserves battery life. Here are my Llama settings:
Conditions -
Phone Reboot > After Start up
Actions -
Toggle Airplane Mode > Airplane Mode On
Queue another event >
Conditions
Event name > WiFi on
Queue Delay > 1 minute
Actions
Toggle Wifi > WiFi On
Thanks to frgking12 again!

this method of turning airplane mode on and then enabling wifi also makes it so that bluetooth is disabled (and therefor won't work for my needs as I often use my apple wireless (bluetooth) keyboard with it.
unfortunately, it looks as if the post referenced by theREDlegion is a temporary fix that must be done each time you restart.
if anyone has an alternative, I too would appreciate the ability to turn off the gsm radio (and save battery life) as I too have a tmobile sgt and I also choose not to subscrube to 3g service but would rather use wifi all the time.
thanks in advance

My reference was only for the OP's original request which is an easy way to disable the GSM radio, and EASILY revert back to it working, nothing permanent. There are also widgets to do this but some of them are buggy. The fix outlined works well, the average tab user does not shut off their tabs regularly only the screen. The OP will not find that this is something they would be doing constantly. There are also scripts that can be run at boot, or apps such as Tasker which can automate these tasks.
A permanent fix would be to flash a ROM without a modem, but I'm not sure how you would get rid of the existing one. I'm sure some searching would get you places.

ooh, that's an interesting idea. shouldn't it just be a matter of restocking the tab, then flashing overcome (or any other rom of your choice that doesn't integrate the modem software), and simply choosing to not install a radio at that point?
I might experiment with that at some point (has anybody else tried it?)

Turn on/off mobile hotspot

I know I cannot be the first to ask this but I cannot find a good answer. I have a verizon phone and I tried to create a tasker action to turn on the mobile hotspot and it fails. I used the wifi tether option. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get this to work?

I'm pretty sure toggling radios needs root? I can't seem to find it right now, but there should be a "use root" checkbox somewhere in the action edit.

Can anyone confirm this? My Motorola Turbo 2 never had a root solution. Believe me I've been waiting 2 years for one.

I just setup a simple profile to test this. I had tasker turn the hotspot at a certain time. No issues, root wasn't needed(doesn't even give option to use it). What conditions are you using to turn it on?

I can't find the "use root" setting in mine...actually I can't find it in any of my profiles/actions, which is weird because I know I used it for something .
I've been using this for awhile to connect to my car head unit (Honor 6X/Cricket Wireless):
Profile State BT Connected CAR KIT ==> Action WiFi Tether Set On
with an exit task to turn WiFi back on/hotspot off when the BT connection drops.

Well, I am using Verizon Jetpack mobile WiFi Hotspot device and it's working pretty fine. I have it for 6 months now.

The Secure Settings plugin has a WiFi Hotspot toggle that works well.

All u have to do is make the profile task and tap play button. That way it will tell you if Tasker is denied/granted SuperSU rights. No need to install secure settings anymore. Just tap Grant to SuperSU. Also, check your SuperSU app as sometimes it denies Tasker automatically

What is a fast way to put cellphone "out of service" without using Airplane mode ?

What is a fast way to put cellphone "out of service" without using Airplane mode ?
The situation is the following...
Maybe someone is trying to borrow your phone to make a call but you don't want him to spend your credits so you need to instantly turn off the calling function
Is there another way ? Maybe an app ?

Ehm, why not say "Sorry, I don't have credit"?
If you have root, it's possible.

And how does another app help you instead of airplane mode?
On android 6 and up, I'd use the guest user account (by default it doesn't allow phone calls) or screen pin the app you do want to let them use

My guess is that "they" would turn airplane mode off.
Anyway, OP, if you have root, use the Run Shell action, tick the Use Root box and enter this command: stop ril-deamon
That will kill the signal.
To restart it, have another shell action with root with this command: start ril-deamon

Yeah I think that's a better option, it pops up a message on the screen like the airplane mode and the airplane symbol doesn't appear on the screen but, since it is in another language it might be helpful. Thanks !
