How to disable GPRS warning?

I have the Fuze version on at&t network. I've disabled 3G on AT&T's side so there is no way to connect through there.
Nevertheless, my phone ALWAYS tries to connect to the 3G network and i've disabled 3G connections using Nodata.cab, advancedconfig, diamondtweaks.
Still, the warning signs always come up:
"there is a problem connecting to the gprs service in your registered home network warning"
and this occurs, when I turn on the phone and many other times.
Is there a way to disable this warning? I know I cant connect, its because i disabled it!!!!

anyone? it comes up like 50x a day andi have to click OK to make it go away every single time

Have you unchecked the auto update setting for the weather program? Doing this worked for me.

did that, but didnt fix the problem. anything else that can be auto updating or trying to contact the 3G network?

Go to start -- settings -- connections -- connections --advanced -- select network.
Here I think you can change the defaults so that when ever a program tries to use internet it will either use wifi (if available) or nothing....
I have blocked the wireless internet access on all my lines and this is how I solved the problem of getting gprs disconnect warnings.
Hope this helps.

Is it possible to just disable this warning?
I'm switching between my personal and business SIM cards quite often, and I have the data connection disabled on the business card, while on personal I have a data plan, so I want to be always-online.

I disabled aGPS and now i dont get the warning as much. (remember, i disabled GPRS from att side).
when i start my phone, i get 1 warning (i used to get 3?)
maybe i'm on the right track...

But the point is not to disable features so they don't auto-connect to the Internet.
The point is for the OS to try to onnect automatically, but when it failes - it doesn't have to scream that to your face every 5 minutes.

I'm bumping this thread cause I did the same thing and want to know how to disable the message as well.

still no answer to this

Translating from Dutch, so bear with me:
Go to Personal > phone > network settings and put the band on GSM.
Note that you won't be able to use the 3G + H data connections then.

my father has the same problem on his Diamond, need help!

bump, i have the same problem as well
any solutions?

i have a solution.
download > install > and run NOGPRS.cab aka No Data. that will shut it up. i just had the same problem and i did that and now i havnt gotten any... i think i might get like one if i turn the phone on and off and what not, but other then that its fine.

Solution to GPRS warning message
Go to settings > Connections > Connections > advanced > select networks >
now check both options to 'my work network'
click ok
and reboot
the irritating message will go away.
until you again reinstall the sim into your phone and it will automatically reconfigure the settings.
Just repeat the above process.

solution
1. Tap Start.
2. Tap Settings.
3. Tap Phone.
4. Tap the Network Tab.
5. Tap the Network Selection Drop down.
6. Tap Manual.
7. Tap the desired network.
8. Tap Ok.

[Q] Sprint TP2 6.5 Data Roaming in Europe?

I just went to France for three weeks with my Sprint TP2 running Windows Mobile 6.5 (official Sprint upgrade, with Sprint SIM installed). I signed up for Sprint's unlimited data roaming plan before I left. When I arrived, my phone worked OK only for phone service with Sprint's European partners Orange F and F SFR - data roaming refused to work despite my following Sprint's written directions. I contacted Sprint and we tried various configuration changes, but after none of them worked, Sprint shipped me a Sprint TP2 running 6.1 (Sprint SIM) which worked fine for both phone and data roaming with default settings. Now I'm back in the US but would like to resolve the issue.
Questions for any XDA experts out there:
Where are the settings for SIM data roaming kept on the phone? (I couldn't find relevant settings in the TP2 Registry.)
Are there particular settings I should change to allow data roaming?
Are there any 'hidden' settings that might resolve this problem?
Could 6.5 have caused a problem that didn't exist in 6.1?
Any other ideas? Let me know if you need more information.
Many thanks!

not sure what settings they gave you.. but i can direct you in one place:
comm manager -> settings (right bottom soft key) -> Phone -> this is where i would go ..... check out network tab and GSM/UMTS services tab... use Get Settings to look deeper
let me know if that helps

There are a few likely possibilities:
1) The original SIM account information was improperly setup as voice only (quite likely).
2) The default connection info wasn't configured in the connection tab with the GSM data, and was still trying to connect to #777 (CDMA data line). This would obviously fail.
WM6.5 should work fine with data on both GSM and CDMA.

In the connections settings under manage existing connections you need to have the following to have Sprint dataroaming on GSM
Access Point = cinet.spcs
Server assigned IP and DNS

Thanks for the replies. As you could tell, I'm not an expert on this issue, and I've noticed that different versions of the TP2 apparently have different menu structures. So I have some follow-up questions:
For gamescan:
"1) The original SIM account information was improperly setup as voice only (quite likely)." Is this something that only Sprint can change, or something I can modify on my phone? (I would assume it's phone-specific, as the otherwise identical TP2 Sprint shipped me worked properly for data roaming.)
"2) The default connection info wasn't configured in the connection tab with the GSM data, and was still trying to connect to #777 (CDMA data line). This would obviously fail." Where exactly is that setting on a Sprint phone? I haven't been able to find it yet.
Thank you for the reassurance that 6.5 should work properly.
For highc:
"In the connections settings under manage existing connections you need to have the following to have Sprint dataroaming on GSM
"Access Point = cinet.spcs
"Server assigned IP and DNS"
Where are these settings on a Sprint 6.5 phone? I would have assumed that they're somewhere on the Comm Manager page, but I can't find the above under Phone or under Data Connection.
For mboguc:
The Get Settings button for GSM doesn't seem to have any settings that relate to data or data roaming. The only settings relating to roaming seem to be on the Get Settings tab for CDMA, which weren't accessible in Europe w/ GSM.
Again, I appreciate the feedback and hope to be able to narrow down the problem with assistance.

Start -> Settings -> Connections -> Connections
The phone settings and Comm Manager are both wrong places to be looking.

"Start -> Settings -> Connections -> Connections
"The phone settings and Comm Manager are both wrong places to be looking."
Thanks.
However, as noted above, menus vary depending on phone carrier and OS version. HTC has hidden the Windows Phone menus pretty well in 6.5. For my Sprint TP2 running 6.5, I have the following options for Start -> Settings:
Personalize (wallpaper, etc)
Wireless Controls (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, mobile networks, push mail)("..wrong place..")
Sound & Display
Data Services (options for ActiveSync, social networks, e-mail, etc)
Location (set location service options)
Security (encryption, phone lock and reset)
Application (remove programs, etc)
SD card & phone storage (view available storage)
Date & Time
Locale & text
Updates & feedback
Other (miscellaneous settings - none appear to be relevant)
About phone (battery status, device info)
Nothing resembling Start -> Settings -> Connections -> Connections here... The Tools menu has Comm Manager, but as you note, it's apparently not what I'm looking for. No other relevant options under Tools.
Any other suggestions? Thanks.

Oh, sorry. I usually run with Sense disabled.
Just disable it in the Today menu senttings and it'll be easy to find. Bring up the Today settings and then uncheck "HTC Sense" under the items menu.
Go back to the home screen and viola, you have the vanilla Win 6.5 interface. It's faster than sense and everything is where it belongs.
You can always re-enable Sense if you want it after making your changes.

"Oh, sorry. I usually run with Sense disabled."
Ahh, thanks, yes that lets me get to Start -> Settings -> Connections -> Connections
This turns out to be the same as Start -> Settings -> Wireless Controls -> Phone -> Data Connection in Sense. Under that menu, I have two choices, Sprint and My Work Network. I gather from the above comments that the necessary fixes should be under Sprint -> Manage Existing Connections (not under My Work Network).
I assume Existing Connections is where highc's recommendations would go:
"Access Point = cinet.spcs
"Server assigned IP and DNS"
Of course, now that I'm back in the US, the only things there are for Sprint/CDMA; there's nothing there related to GSM data connections on either the Sprint 6.1 phone or my 6.5 phone... I assume there was something while I was there?
Are the GSM-related "existing settings" documented anywhere? There are quite a few choices, and I certainly don't want to brick my phone . And are these settings stored somewhere in the Registry?

You can have multiple data connections setup in there. That's the standard Windows Mobile location for what is basically dial-up networking settings.
Each "connection" is nothing more than a specialized number for an ISP (typically your carrier). You set a default connection and then the phone uses that whenever you initiate a data call.
If you switch to GSM mode and are runing off a SIM, this is where you would put the data call information for that carrier.
You cannot brick your phone by editing these settings. At worst you'll end up disabling data, but a quick call to your carrier will get you the settings necessary to get it back.
Anything that is stored on your phone will be visible here.

[Q] How to change Proxy Settings when connecting wifi?

when connecting some wifi, I need to set specific proxy to make it work. how to change that with HTC ONE S? didn't find it. and I even download two apps named "proxy settings", seemd both of them points out that is supposed embedded in 3.x android.
but I can't find it.

In the Wi-Fi list, press and hold your specific wireless network until the option 'Modify network' pops-up.
Scroll down until you reach the 'Show advanced options' at the bottom, and activate the checkmark. The funny thing about this option is, that with the checkmark on, the options list suddenly becomes larger, showing also the Proxy settings, IP and DNS. Took me three attempts before I finally noticed the change, when I was searching for the DNS options on HTC Sense.

[Q] After re-installation of factory android internet doesn't work

Hello everyone,
So a few weeks ago my phone just wouldn't start. It would get to the point where you see the samsung logo on the screen and it would turn back off. I took it to the store I bought it from and they fixed it by formatting the phone back to the factory default operating system.
Since then, the phone has worked fine but my internet just doesn't work.
Any ideas? I'd rather fix it myself than have to deal with those people again.
Thanks

Ensure correct wifi config & try static IP address
I assume by internet you mean wifi connectivity. Have you setup your connectivity properly? you can also try setting up a static IP adress (go t wireless in settings, pres and hold the wifi name and from the popup menu select "modify network config" and select the check box for "show advanced config" there you can select static). You can search on net about setting static IP address on android as well.

I don't mean wi-fi. I'm referring to my carriers internet service that's within my contact.

Mobile hotspot and USB tethering not working anymore

I have an unlocked US model (SM-N986U1). I remember when I first purchased the phone I was able to use mobile hotspot or usb tethering through my ATT plan. Today, I tried to use that function and it doesn't work anymore for some reason. Anyone has this issue resolved? I am on One Ul Version 3.0 and Android 11.

I had the exact same issue after installing One UI 3. I have a Note 20 Ultra Factory Unlocked on ATT as well!
What worked for me was the ",dun" trick.
You just need to duplicate your current APN and add ",dun" to the end of the "APN type" field.
Heres how:
Settings > Connections > Mobile Networks > Access Point Names.
Tap your current APN and take a scrolling screenshot of everything.
Open that screenshot in a floating window or splitscreen mode (for reference).
Back out of the screen you had just screenshotted.
Tap "Add".
Duplicate all the values from your previous APN into this new one (using that screenshot)
Make sure you did not make a typo!!
Now before you save,
under "APN type" add ",dun" to the end of it.
Now tap the 3 dots at the top right, tap "Save".
Select the new APN you had just created and your hotspot should work now!
If it doesnt, try toggling airplane mode on then off. This worked for me. I shared it on Samsung Members and others had reported back with success as well!
Hope this helps
P.S.
I got an OTA update today and now i have wifi calling (finally!).
(I had to manually check for it to appear)
