Which service am I using - HTC TYTN II Kaiser

Hi, I have been using a mobile to just talk and SMS. Few days back bought a HTC TYTN II Kaiser and this was a quantum jump for me. Question - 1. Is it possible to have WiFi, GSM/3G and Bluetooth services active all the time ? 2. How do I know which service is being utilised by an application to communicate with outside world ? I want the phone call and SMS to utilise GSM/3G and all other to use the WiFi (home broadband). Appreciate help in laymans language. Thanks.

Most of that can be configured in your Connection Settings, go in there and take a look around.

Having everything on at the same time will severely reduce the time your device's battery will last. You may wish to rethink.

Thanks folks. I could find the setup for SMS and phone. SMS and Phone through O2 (current service provider). This is what I wanted. I now need to direct everything else to go via wireless-broadband.

@ stuntdouble
not to mention that WiFi and Bluetooth on at the same time is a trainwreck.

Thanks for the causion. I intend to turn on WiFi or Blue when I want. So no issues.

Pop quiz for experts. I see an 'E', '3G' or a 'G' at various times as the active connection medium. To connect to the internet using my home broadband, I turned on the WiFi and saw the WiFi icon in the place where the above symbols appear. Does this mean that the WiFi is active & connected to the Internet AND the 3G or GPRS or E is deavtivated ? Internet worked perfectly. Is there a priority among the connecting medium/protocols ?

[Q] Data connection problem

Does anyone know why certian application, which use data connection (3G) works properly. Examples: Opera Mini, FB Application, Fancy Widget...
while some do not work. Examples: Daily Briefing, Skyfire, Default Internet application. I get: Page can not be displayed or Connetion Error.
It is interesting that if I am using WiFi, all application works without problems.
I had many different ROMs and it is always the same.

i don't think it's an application error
rather an issue with the APN settings
what are the APN settings for your cell phone network operator?
did you configure it in Settings?

Of course I did. I am using setting from my mobile provider.
It looks like some ports are blocked because when I go into Internet app. and go to google.com I can see that there is some data transfering because the icon of 3g is red and green, also there is the green progress bar in Internet app. loading. However, after 10 seconds of doing this I get: Page is unavailable.
Completely the same in SkyFire.
On the other hand, with Opera Mini it works as it should. The page is loaded correctly.

yes, i've heard reports from other people with similar issues with some cell phone providers
try with opera mini, opera mini works differently, you might be able to bypass the blocks with opera mini

Something tells me you installed froyo and now back to eclair.

I was just about to post a new thread but this one had the same title.
Does anyone else have a data connection problem with JPK? It says my data connection is on but it wont let me use it.
This problem is very annoying and i would appreciate if someone could help me solve it.

[Q] [Troubleshooting] 3G network problem

Hi guys
I have problem with 3G connection through application, but wifi is fine. All that I can do through 3G connection is go on a internet browser and surf. But if I open some application which uses the internet so do not connect..
How I said through wifi is everithing fine, but through 3g is not.
I tried wipe, factory reset and clear cache from but nothink helped...

Goto -> Settings -> Wireless Networks -> Mobile Network -> APN
Is there anything there?
If there is find the settings for your carrier and double check them

re:
Yes, of course there is configuration for 3G work... I said in a internet browser I can surf, but I can't use internet through apps as gmail, market etc...

Can it bee that the network provider has somesort of problem with the network or the gmail and market servers they are using is down. Once i have gmail problem but that wasn't the phones fault The server Google used was down with somesort of problem. Must say that strange problems ppl has with they phone if connection via wifi works but not 3g? Then it must be fault in settings or fault i the network.

I do not think that, because I have this problem around 1-2 months

So you can not connect via 3g at all from application?

Stupid question but have u activate your data network so the phone are allowed to use data network? And the access point are right?

Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

Yeah a little bit :-D
1.yes I am sure
2.you are more smarter
3.because thats same problem have many users
4.I am not crying bro

I have a similar problem.
If the phone is only on wi-fi connection, gmail, internet, market, daily briefing (accuweather) and maps are working fine. If I switch the wi-fi off and switch APN on, only the market works.
how's that?

[Q] Data connectivity problem

hello everybody,
i have a weird problem with a rooted/romed samsung galaxy I9000 happening with mobile data:
I do receive a "unnable to connect to server" error, whenever i try to connect via web browser or play store or any data using application.
the fact is that the small 3G or H or G logo appear next to reception bars, but these ones as well as the logo aren't colored (I did noticed that these element are colored when there is data connectivity Wfi or mobile)
disabling/enabling mobile data doesn't fix anything.
most weird thing is that i am able to ping succesfully some servers, meaning that connection appear to be good.
I did try with many differents rom, kernels & radios, tried to go back to stock samsung or EZ-Base but nothing is solving the problem.
APN settings are all ok regarding my provider.
Do someone have any clue a about this problem ? I have find some thread with same things, but nver solutionned.
Many thanks for your answers.

Hey
On which firmware did u find this issue first??

Excessive 3g usage N7000 Airtel Kolkata

I have activated 3G service on my note. Got the 2gb for Rs 450 plan. I have noticed that there is a huge difference between the usage shown my 3g watchdog (and settings>data usage) and Airtel records (by *123*11#). If I use "Internet" browser just for a minute of casual browsing and close the browser, then upon checking the balance on airtel it shows I've used 9-15mb within a minute whereas 3g watchdog reports a much realistic usage. The difference is nearly 10 times.
I have tried searching a lot online. Have got tips like restricting background usage of apps to wifi only and disabling automatic backup and restore. Have done all that and yet the problem continues.
What could be he problem? I'm totally at a loss. Its been just 3 days and I've hardly used 3g since I have wifi at home and yet as pet airtel records I have used more than 400mb. No videos or songs were downloaded and no YouTube.
Have any of you guys noticed such a huge difference between the usage reported by your device and operator? A few kb here and there is fine but 4mb cannot be reported as 40mb! Please help.

I'm sorry.. I haven't mentioned my device details. I'm on official Indian 4.0.4 rom. No root nothing.
Don't have many apps installed. Just regular stuff.. Facebook.. whatsapp.. opera mini.. and some more.

Same problem with me here in Delhi. Casually use internet just for browsing. But, the data usage is always way too high. I think it is a problem with the Airtel servers not the galaxy note.

I use 3g on my note in Mumbai(Airtel) with the same plan that you have mentioned. I have tried many data counters apps and settled on onavo because it gives me the closest value that you get on *121*11#. Still when onavo reaches 80-85% my plan gets over and they start charging per kb. But your case sounds too extreme. If as you say u don't have many apps and have no mods or custom rom then its Airtel to blame.

What about the inbuilt data usage counter in ICS? Does it show the correct usage?

Thats way too extreme bro even I'm from Calcutta although I don't use Airtel cos their network sucks at my place.
It seems the apps are eating up all your bandwidth. I am on Aircel 3G and don't have problem like yours.
Since you tried all the possible methods all I can suggest you to keep Data Network Mode deactivated when you not using it and also switch to GSM mode.
Use 3G mode only when you plan to use it because androids are way to net savvy
Atleast that way it won't be able to use the high speed network and you can still save a lot of your data.

I too noted the difference between the third party app and the stock one. As soon as i installed a third party one the stock showed very little activity. Just use the stock data monitory and track your usage and also switch to 2G when u dont need 3G to save battery and usage. Also the *121*11# dosnt seem to be working for me? I am too on Airtel (postpaid)

in my case a third party data monitor app 3g watchdog and stock ics data monitor show nearly the same usage.. difference of .01-.10 KB maybe. Try *123*11#. That shows very very high usage.

I don't gave that many apps.. lol.. what will eat bandwidth? Haha.. surprisingly in 2g mode on a 2g plan the data usage reported is somewhat believable.
Any kolkata users using 3g on operators besides airtel and aircel? Vodafone maybe? I'm thinking of porting out to vodafone.
I talked to an airtel representative and he's like go to a relationship centre and prove it first and only then we will check. I really don't think I have the time for that.

People actually use the 3g data plans?? there are other ways to get 3g .

I recommend to root your phone and get LBE Privacy Guard or even LBE Security Manager from the corresponding xda thread. It let's you restrict internet acces for every app. I use Security Manager since it offers an option to set up certain apps so you are asked if they should be allowed to access internet. Privacy Guard only offers the possinility to allow or deny internet access permanently.

I'm a little wary about rooting. What I'm planning to do is to try our sim cards of different networks in kolkata and see whether the problem persists or not. If yes then obviously something is wrong with my note. If not then its Airtel's mistake and I'd port out to that operator which does fairbl billing, retaining my existing number. I dont really see any other option left.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk 2

OK. I tried his. On my 3g plan, I started using GSM ONLY mode from network options. Now I believe the note will connect only to EDGE and not 3g, right?
With this in mind I browsed 3-4 pages on tumblr for about a minute and disconnected. My operator shows 9.5mb of usage in a minute of browsing! Is that even possible on EDGE? Can I use 9.5mb of data in one minute with speeds offered on Edge?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk 2

No it's not possible. Edge offers a data rate of 384 kbit/s. 384 * 60 /1000 / 8 = 2.88 MB. You should definitely contact your provider.
