Data Connection Automatically Opens

Hi All,
Im new here and very new to Windows Mobile (So far the experience has been great)
I have been trying to figure how to disable the data connection opening automatically (By a request from an application)
I disable the data connection from the Settings > Communications, however for example Garmin just re opens the connection for me (Which is rather expensive from were i am from)
As a work around i stay removing the Data Connection Profile and re creating it every time i need to use it once again...
Any ideas since its getting quite annoying..
Thanks!

Thanks! Just what I need. I only want to disable data when abroad.

Worked like a charm!

Internet Connection does always connect

I have a problem with my internet connection.
It connects all the time, but I have no service which requires a connection.
Everything is turned off such as email, weather or a browser.
How can I find out what is causing this connection and turn it off?

PS: I am using Duttys HD Leo Holy Grail R2 Rom

Go to start/settings/connections/connections/manage existing connection/then longtap on your operator, select 'delete'.
That should do the job.
Also, in communication manager, disable Data Connection.

That is the weird thing: If I disable data connection, it instantly connects again.
And and I dont want do delete my carrier.
I need internet, but not all the time.

OK. Then you can try Modaco Nodata. You'll need to register though.

[Q] Why is my phone always active??

Hey,
i noticed that my phone is longer active than i use it
any ideas?
Screenshots attached

Because you enabled Background Data and auto-sync - nothing to worry.

Backgroud data = yes
Auto-sync = no
thats my settings since i have the phone ^^ but now it won't sleep anymore

Exchange ActivePush keeps the phone active, Latitude too. You could use the App Process Monitor, but everything looks perfectly normal.

oh, maybe i should mention that my mobile data is always off...
the phone is offline and tries to sync?

Ok, that is wierd.
You could try Process Monitor Widget from the Market to record processes running on your phone.
Its hard to tell what Process keeps your phone running.

I know you said you have mobile data turned off ...but like ItsDace has mentioned earlier - could you try logging out of / disabling Google Latitude?
it worked well in extending my battery's life.
edit: on a closer look - your mobile data does not seem to be off ... the screenshot you gave shows 'green' icons for 3G... meaning you are connected to google services over data network?

thx, i will try!

issues connecting to work WiFi

Hey All
since upgrading to CROM-i v5 i have been having some issues with connecting to me work WiFi, i never had any issues before v5 but this seems like the only place that has issues. We use Cisco access points that run through out network and we are currently using 802.1xEAP authentication. All devices need to authenticate via MAC's which i have passed onto so they can add it in but when i enter in my details it just stays at "Connecting..." and just hangs there and never ever connects.
i use the tablet at home and it connects with no issues.
Anyone have any ideas???
Cheers

Just flashed using WW and ill give it a go tomorrow when im back at work!
thanks again for the quick response sbdags!

So baggs, should I, a US user who is on 5.03, install WW version to try and make mine stop dropping connections after sleeping? I'm also having a hard time connecting to my ATT wireless router. And other places that I used to be connectable with before I got my 20x Dock. I love the dock but need wireless connectivity. I wanna watch movies in bed, err before sleepie time anyways.

It shouldn't drop a connection whatever version you are using. Can you capture a logcat from when you wake? Does the WiFi icon turn grey or stay blue....?

OK Will do

I keep trying to log into the network at home and on job sites but the wireless utility never seems to accept my passwords. I can't get a signal reading, which is bollocks as I see high signal strength from the access point in the wireless AP list. I will install logcat and capture some logs later.
I dont recall the wireless being this heniky before the newest ROM. :crying: Oh and sorry bought the bags, I see after more careful reading its "dags"!

seems to me that im not the only with this new wifi connection problemj hmmm i still havent been able to connect on my home wifi even with a reformat, factory reset and fresh install of the newest cromi 5.0.4

Wireless gone hayware!

This may be mute, going to try flashing 5.04 and see if that makes a difference. But per your request Im attaching both startup and sleep recover logs. Hope it helps. I have no network connectivity at this point!
Edit0: I did the update and at first network didn't connect. So I "forgot" and then reselected my network and now I am connected and am getting email, updates from apps, and other goodies. Will try sleep and recovery to see if that works too. Just hope it works going forward so I can watch some movies and family guy episodes when trying to go to sleep. I'm happier for now at least. If this fails I will go back to 5.02.......

hey sbdags
sorry for the late reply just got back from overseas holiday and 2nd day back at work.
i reflashed using WW and still have the same issue. i think it might be y works WiFi they must have changed something and cant connect now. might have to get them to recheck that my MAC is still in the allowed group but just so weird that it stopped working.
will have to confirm what channel they are using and get back to ya. It does find the connection but when ever it tries to connect it just sits on "Connecting..." and just times out.
Cheers

Just confirmed with our network guys here we dont have a specific channel set for wireless devices, they have set it to auto-select so it will choose the least congested channel and try and connect. They also auto-adjust down/up their power so they dont overlap with other points of the same network.
Dont know if that will mean much to ya sbdags. But i might try and dig up the older versions and see which version it started happening.
you recommend doing a wipe and then flashing? or is it fine to start from 5.0 and dirty flash the way up till it stops? also you recommend using a specific kernel? i have been using _that's kernel from version 5.
Cheers

5.0 and dirty flash up should be fine. Also stay on that 4 as that is a stable kernel until you can determine if there is a problem.

bah... loaded 4.7.0 and still didnt work, so safe to say problem with work's WiFi...
looks like ill just live with it! thanks for the input everyone!

I am not running that rom.. I would try to go into settings and when your on your wi-fi menu. I have three vertical dots in the upper right hand of the screen.. Push and a drop down menu will appear.. Go to advanced.. If you have these options turn them off.... Network notification...Scanning always available and wi-fi optimization...Than make sure if you have a wi-fi region code it is set to your location.......Hope this helps thx lj
Maybe a reboot after all that LOL!!!!

hmmmmmm just tried what you suggested @lj50036 actually got a little further than before, attempts to connect and does for a 1 second and then drops out and turns my WiFi off and then back on, and attempts to connect again and does for 1sec and then sits at Connecting... again and just keeps cycling around like that...
i was able to get a guest account and that connects no problems, but the way that i am trying right now actually authenticates through my domain account and allows me access to my works environment
thanks for the input guys much appreciated... i guess its just a lost cause.
Cheers

Wi-Fi Hotspot bypass

Can anyone recommend a way to bypass the mobile Hotspot authorization or an app they're using to activate the Wi-Fi Hotspot?

Does the Tmobile firmware allow the VoLTE? Don't believe the unlocked does, use that frequently just because of bad reception in home.

I haven't tried the Tmobile firmware on this device, but had no issues on my S7e or my S8+. Didn't have wifi calling though, but I don't use that anyway.

I just flashed the unlocked firmware on it and I could use it just fine.

I'd like to know as well. Don't want to lose volte & Wi-Fi calling by flashing a different firmware.

[GUIDE][Switching Carrier][Flashing Carrier][Flashing Unlocked] SM-N950U/U1
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-8/how-to/guide-sm-n950u-u1-t3685884

Got it working last night using a method I found I think on the S8 section.
Use "BK disabler" and search system for "tether", disable all 3. I have attached a screen shot of them.
Set up your tether options, and make sure to Enable Wi-Fi sharing.
Now try to connect to any Wi-Fi network using a wrong password. While it's trying to connect quickly enable mobile hotspot, then turn off Wi-Fi.
I did it multiple times last night, it worked every time.
if you're looking for just an app then netshare no root tethering works, but since you have to use a proxy, it only allows internet to programs where you can configure proxy settings.

May I ask what firmware is your AT&T device running?

Hi I updated from BRA8 to CRB8 and lost my ability to have a hotspot. I am using it on AT&T and now have the bloatware. Can anyone help?

I just got the Note 8, updated it all the way. I guess I'm screwed on the hot spot?

There's a program around the net called wifirouter but I think it's only working on rooted devices
