I bought my boyfriend the samsung galaxy fit for his birthday last month. As much as he loves the phone it seems to be wasting all his credit. He is on pay as you go (Orange). He hasnt been on the internet for a while as it was using all his credit and at the moment all he is using it for is texting people. However his £10 top-up only seems to last a couple of days. He doesnt even text that much.
I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions as to why this is happening and if there is anything we can do? We have checked his settings and that the internet is off etc but we cant find the problem.
Will be very grateful if anybody could give me any suggestions as to what the problem maybe thankyou.
iam now expert but under setting > wireless and networks > mobile networks
turn of packet data , data roamin and on only use 2g
setting > wireless and networks > accounts and sync allso turn off background data and auto sync
setting > wireless and networks > appllication settings > samsung apps wifi only
ofcourse might be diffrent on your phone and i cant remember where you switch off auto update on market apps
allso try use wifi rather than 3g for internet etc
good luck and let us know

Hi, I have a successfully unlocked Vodafone Touch Pro in the Uk. For months, I was using my tmobile sim card within the phone, and it was all fine. I got decent HSDPA signal, and when I didn't, GPRS or Edge was fine. However, I have now put my H3G (3 UK) simcard in, and whenever I don't have access to 3G/HSDPA my phone tells me I am roaming. Now, I thought this would be ok, however whilst roaming, my emails are not picked up automatically. I also get messages with facebook (official) about roaming. Is there any way to force the phone to say I am not roaming?
Thank you
Try changing your APN (access point name) from three.co.uk to 3internet. Couldn't pick up emails or access internet under gprs before I did this.
Start | Settings | Connections | Connections | Advanced tab | Select Networks | edit the 3 internet connection ...
Thanks for your reply. I can access them fine, however, because my phone thinks it is roaming (in another country, hence data charges) It will not automatically send/receive emails. I am asking whether anybody has come across a workaround for this. Thanks for reply though, Much appreciated
Have you enabled the option to "Use automatic send/receive schedule when roaming"?
Look under Start | Messaging | Menu | options
Click the appropriate email account
Hit Send/receive schedule
Hit Advanced settings
... ensure the "roaming" option is ticked
thank you so much, a real help that is
I may be pushing you guys' ability a bit far but is there a way to tell the phone I am not roaming?
Thanks for they help!
No problem.
As for the roaming indicator - not sure if you can disable it. It still shows up on mine when I'm on 2G, but it doesn't really bother me.
Shaun.
Thanks Shaun
Hey I managed to get Peep working over 3g by removing the proxy setting for my connection.
I use my HD2 on T-mobile and the connection wizard automatically puts in settings for proxy for you.
I found that If you go to Settings > wireless controls > menu > Connections
Click setup my proxy server and untick "This network uses a proxy server to connect to the internet" option
this then worked perfectly - I can't say for other networks as I only use T-mobile.
if it doesn't work for you - just delete the existing connection. go to settings > wireless controls > setup a data connection. and your settings will be back to normal.
That's just T-Mobile UK being idiots... Pity it doesn't remove the YouTube blocking...
Wow this works!
Thank you, now I can twitter without wifi

Youtube works fine for me on t-mobile. You need to register on their site and remove the adult content block.

Problem is that it requires a credit card, of which I do not have (you know, what with being under 18...).
I'll just have to wait...
Does it? i dont have one, i just deactivated it and youtube works, simple as that. Maybe it depends how you bought the phone, but my account assumes im 18 since i had to be to get the contract in the first place.
Thanks, fixed it for me , was still wondering why I couldn't use Peep over HSDPA/3G
Big thanks, forgot to check that proxy thing..

Unchecking the 'use proxy' option did not work for me - how can I delete the existing connection? All I can do it seems is either manage the connection or add a new one.
I'm on T-Mobile as well and although Opera and some other programs such as Yomomedia work fine over 3G, the HTC applications including email and Peep just do not update unless there is wifi. I tried updating the 'operator database' settings and it told me that my settings were up to date.
Update - I now have GMail working on 3G, this is how:
- Enabled exchange relationship with GMail in ActiveSync (http://www.google.com/mobile/sync/)
- Enabled Directpush in wireless settings
- Enabled 'Sync while roaming' in account settings for my outlook email account (on the device).
Normal email accounts still do not update on 3G (IMAP/POP), only the exchange system seems to work.
HTC Peep/Twitter is still not working unless there is a Wifi connection or USB to PC connection. If I try and 'update now' on 3G it says that the network is not available. I can confirm the network is available and have checked the 'download data while roaming' box in Peep settings.
Any ideas?
So, just removing the proxy didn't work for me. I found an option to update the connection database. I did this (downloads from HTC I guess) and then disabled the proxy. That fixed my Peep connection
The update the connection database, goto settings, wireless, data, menu, update database.
I hope anyone can help me with the problems i am having with HTC Peep,
Some of the time it works fine while updating. other times i get a connection error.. but thats not the worst problem. i was wondering if anyone could help me find a register setting or tweak that would set a maximum limit to the amount of tweets in htc peep, the ammount of errors and loading time of the tab seems to increase when the ammount of tweets become more and more. for now the only solution i have found to speed it up again is hard reset and i dont like that if anyone could help me i would be really greatfull!
Hi,
I am trying to figure out the different options in:
Settings => connections => advanced => select network.
What i want to do is keep wifi and data both on, so that when i open the phone from standby wifi would work in my house for data and when i head out 3G would take over the data, also when my phone is in standby mode and i have scheduled it to download my email, it should do it in standby mode via 3G or wifi without me manually tweaking the settings or manually downloading the email.
Right now, the upper option in set to T-mobile data and the lower option is set to "My work network".
please let me know,
i am sure alot of you already know the answer but i am not sure of the options.
Thanks alot in advance
I am sure there someone out there who's a little more sure about these settings than i am
please let me know.
Thanks.
Been using Raphael for nearly two years on vodafone, no problems. It was a contract phone. Unlocked out of the box, flashed spl and elite rc3 the next day. also no problems whatsoever.
Now, bought another phone and let my missus have Raph. All is good and well but for the life of me i cant figure out how to add a messaging center number, since the phone cannot SEND texts. Fine with receiving though.
Whats tried:
1. Settings > Personal > Phone > Services > VMail and Text Messages > Get settings.
Result - Reading from network and then network error, reading "Cannot read settings from the network. Try viewing settings later or disconnect data connection and try again." Data connection is on, but it can be more of the same - settings are wrong for data connection. Also tried to use my wifi as data - no dice.
2. Settings > Connections > Advanced Network > SMS Setvice > set to GSM (Originally "GSM Preferred").
Other sources indicate that its HERE that should be messahing center number filled in, but there are no fillable fields apart from pulldown to change "SMS Over", options are GSM, GSM Preferred, GPRS, GPRS Preferred. And thats it...
The card i try to run is O2 Pay-Go.
I'm out of ideas. Help...

Hi, general question for the forum about the mobile internet on the BOLT: Have you seen issues with internet connectivity (non 4G related) on your Thunderbolts? I almost always have to go into Settings and uncheck, then recheck the "Mobile networks" field b/c i'll go to the web, to the market, to an app and it won't load because the connections fails when i unlock my phone. If it's seen then i guess it's just an issue with Verizon right now, but if this is not happening to you all please let me know b/c i wanna make sure it's not the Bolt itself.
thanks in advance to peeps who can reply to this.
I have not had that problem since vzw fixed the 4G problem (outage).
