I also see a G (or E) in the middle and at the right hand side. And yes, according the manual the icon in the middle means G (or E) is available and the icon at the right there is an ongoing connection. I'm not sure whether the connection is actually used. I think there is no traffic. But that still leaves the question what initiates a connection on your guys S710.
On my S710 after re-enabling the phone function I only see a G (or E) in the middle, but not at the right. Also after some minutes.

I think thats a bug, when I use the gprs I get the small G instead of the antenna in the upper right corner. When I disable gprs it's still there. Has to reboot to get rid of it.

check email settings
you may want to check email settings. if you have selected to check your email account every X minutes the connection will activate automatically. uncheck the box or choose "never" and see if it happens again.

nope - both email accounts set to never

Check Live Messenger
Hello,
I noticed the same issue.
I had to perform a factory reset (Clear) to solve it.
I traced this issue to Microsoft Live Messenger, which tries to connect.

I wonder if there is anyway I can get it to prompt me before using the gprs?
Sometimes, while browsing, my wifi will cut out and start using my gprs. Which is why I would like my phone to ask me whether or not it can use gprs.

My old P900 always asked.
I'm currently looking if I can create a utility to do just that.

bump as I have the same issue...
most of the times I never realise that WIFi is gone and gprs has been activated.
There must be a way to ask us if we want gprs connection before actually activating it.....

Yep, same problem here. Sometimes I even disable "Phone" in Comm Manager and turn on "WLAN" just to be sure I'm surfing via my WiFi router, and not GPRS/EDGE.

You can always disconnect GPRS via the Comm Manager. Most programs have a setting weather to chose connection automaticaly or you can set it to wifi or gprs(like Internet Explorer)

That's the problem. The GPRS connection is active, but the GRPS in Comm Manager is disabled so you can't turn it off. I've seen some registry key changes that enable you to press the "red end call" key to stop the connection, but it soons resurrects itself and re-appears, and is still not enabled in Comm Manager to disable it.
I've not seen an option in Internet Explorer on the Smartphones to choose Wifi or GPRS, you just get "Internet", "Wap", "Secure WAP", "MMS", "Work". There is no option for Wifi only.
I been looking for a little program for a while now that prompts you when your Wifi connection has lost, and whether you want to continue with GPRS or not. So far, I've not found anything.
I've noticed programs such as Fring monitor such a connection and give you the option, but I would like to see something that is a seperate process and monitors the connection itself, and not just for one program.

You can apply this regedit in the way to disconnect gprs/edge connection simply pressing red button:
to resolve this problem:
Go to: HKLM-->Comm-->ConnMgr-->Planner-->Settings-->SuspendResume
and delete ~GPRS! value.
This value was couseing phone to keep active gprs connection by any meanings.
When you delete it, red button will close the connection again
Found this one somewhere one month ago.
Tested: it works.

Same problem here.
I have seen this issue discussed on several different forums. Is it a WM6 bug?

i just leave my gprs connection setting not set up. When ever i try and connect without WIFI i cannot use GPRS. This means i cant connect to the internet unless i have availble WIFI but at least i wont get billed for un wanted GPRS

It´s sad Windows Mobile/HTC forces you to do these things just to prevent being charged withour your consent.

had to do the same thing, just deleted the whole gprs account ... I actually got billed for 214 "gprs connection" the last month, wich was very expensieve. This is actually a huge bug, hope someone will fix it soon.
Its a money eating bug!

GPRS/INTENET/WIFI problem in HTC S710

Hi Friends iam from India and i have just bought this New HTC S710 phone its a wonderful phone n m very much pleased with its functionality and features except for using the internet and browsing the websites.
Friends i have used all permutations and applied all possible tricks to start the net but the problem lies the same.
iam unable to use my GPRS and browse websites
if i put the GPRS settings it opens only the wsp:\\ websites that are in the favorites
it opens the Google but when i search something it shows me "errors like internal server error" or "page can not be displayed" or "client cannot display this page" or cannt download or connection failed etc.
although a G/E is displayed on the top right corner
I had talked with the service provider(VODAFONE, INDIA) it says i need to take proper internet settings and get the internet activated only then i will be able to use the internet as GPRS(WAP) doesnt work on this phone and they have no settings to make it work.
M really fedup as i use the GPRS quite alot but m not ready to pay them so much for the internet connections as GPRS is sufficient for my usage.
now the problem with the Wifi
whenever iam in my range of a wifi connection it detects the same properly and gets connected
to the unsecured networks or the public networks its shows a proper signal strength of 40 to 60% but when i try to open the websites it doesnt open n shows similar errors plz help me with this guys m in real need to make the net work 4 me
Thanks

[Q] Android System showing Data Sent&Received even when all data networks are off?
I'm sorry, this topic has probably been brought up before, but Im just wondering since my data network connection is disabled even from my mobile operator it self. No 3G or GPRS are working, APN name has been fundled with, so therefore there is no way for my phone to be connected to the internet unless I use Wifi.
On the 2.3, the android system lists a whole list of system apps associated with it such as Crash Monitor, SemcHDMI control service, customized settings, diagnostic tool, download agent, account and sync setting, status bar, fmrx services, google backup transport etc and etc, and it shows that there are Data Sent and Data Received in which this number just increases out of no where. Now I'm probably paranoid by the word Data Sent and Received, because I doubled check with my mobile operator and it is assured that my data connections are all disconnected, from operator and from my phone as well.
So excatly where are these system apps sending these datas to? and where are these system apps receiving their datas from?
Wifi's not on, yet these numbers continue to increase. Not a whole lot, but it increases. Traffic Info application also shows no data usage from internet, but data usage from system apps.
Can anyone confirm this?

whatsapp problem

hello
i've installed the whatsapp on my sensation
but in the setup stage where it asks me to insert my phone number
after i do that it tries to connect and fails
error : unable to connect. please try again later
this app worked on my previous android phone
can anyone help ?

Haven't ran into this issue with my reinstall . It did not however send my phone the text I hit send and it acted like it was sending but went past it saying it was verified and let me in the program.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App

anyone else ?

No problems with whatsapp whatsoever. Been using it a LOT.

Only problem with Whatsapp for me is that most contact photos do not show, despite being 'linked'. May try to reinstall if I get annoyed enough.

No issues here. I rely on it heavily. Runs just as flawlessly as it did on my iPhone.

I would suggest just trying it from a different location... Sometimes getting in range of a new tower fixes little data issues like that for me. Or try it on Wifi. Or if you were on Wifi, try it on data network... I think you get the idea
Only issue I have with Whatsapp is sometimes it like refuses to refresh whether the contact is online or not and shows them as "Last seen......" and won't push texts through when I know for a fact the person is online. Annoying, as I will send a text expecting it to go through only to look at my phone half an hour later wondering why the person hasn't texted back only to discover a single check by my message

Not being able to use WhatsApp is no fun, so if you are having trouble connecting, keep reading. To start, there are many reasons why you may not be able to connect to WhatsApp, so we have listed a few of the most common reasons.
The most common reason why you cannot connect to WhatsApp is because your phone is not connected to the internet.
To ensure you have a working internet connection, check the following:
You have a data plan on your carrier's network or a Wi-Fi connection with internet access.
Make sure the signal strength for Wi-Fi or data network is good and that the phone is connected to the network.
Open a webpage in your phone browser to see if it loads. If it loads, your phone is connected to the internet!
Reboot your phone.
If you cannot connect to the internet through your Wi-Fi network, try connecting to a different Wi-Fi network or connecting over your phone's data network.
If you can open webpages and run other applications that connect to the internet on your phone, but WhatsApp will still not connect, try deleting and reinstalling WhatsApp. Learn how to reinstall WhatsApp on: Android | BlackBerry | iPhone | Nokia
If you can connect to other applications on your data network, but not WhatsApp, it could be that your mobile provider has configured your wireless access points to block certain chat applications.
Try this if WhatsApp still will not work on data only:
Contact your mobile provider and ask them about different access point settings to run chat apps.
They will guide you through a process in which you will manually configure your data network and web settings.
-------------------------------
Thats what I did and it worked, also try the last step of changing your access point !
Finally!!!!

Check your access point ie APN
I was facing same issues when I checked access point it was different from what I normally use. I changed it and it works fine now

Access point changing help !!!

Connectivity issues(WiFi+Calls)

Hi there, I have Moto G 16GB Dual Sim version for about 2 weeks and I have experienced some connectivity issues with the WiFi and calls also. When The WiFi is off Sim1 icon in notifications menu turns orange and when I am calling someone he doesn't hear me sometimes. When I turn the wifi on and connect to my home network the icon turns white and there are no problems. Also some of the google apps can't connect to the internet such as Youtube , Maps , Translate , Earth and Drive , but the Play store, Google Now and Chrome are fine
Here are some screenshots about the problem and the device numbers. I have switched to Art instead of Dalwik and the battery stands longer now, but the problem was there before the change. Any suggestions ?

up

Come on , this bug can't happen only to me . :crying: Any suggestions ?

I also experience this with my moto g dual sim. I don't think its a bug it just show you that you have no internet connection. Try to disconnect your router to the internet and see if it will change its colors. This is just purely cosmetic.

Mate , my google apps don't connect to the internet , but other apps can do that. My internet is good I am downloading stuff from Chrome/Dolphin with 3 MB/s and at the same time Youtube can't load a single clip ? Google drive can't update ? Also the problem with call signal is so weird. When the wi fi is off I experience problems and the icon is orange. Sometimes people can't hear me when I'm talking. Suddenly when I connect to WiFi the Sim1 icon turns white and everything is fine. How's that possible ?
