Quit - GPRS O2 UK PPC2003

[Ali-Butt]

Hi Guys,

really dumb question ... how do you disconnect from gprs once connected ?


I can not see an end button anywhere !!!

cheers

[Ali-Butt]

i have just worked out that if you disable phone, it turns off GPRS...

surely that is not the correct way to do it? :roll:

[Ali-Butt]

sorry to nag .....

does anyone know how to cut gprs once connected ??


maybe its so obvious, noone knows it !


maybe its so easy, no one can be bothered to write ?


let me know please !

Install the spb gprs traffic monitor is the answer. :D

[Ken_xda]

You can also simply tap the signal sign (at the top of today screen), it'll show your GPRS connection and then you can simply tap end buttom :D Cheers

[Ali-Butt]

not on ppc2003 .,... there is no end button on the signal sign :-(

[Ali-Butt]

Install the spb gprs traffic monitor is the answer.

-----------------------------

is this the solution for PPc2003 ?? surely there must be an inbuilt feature which allows you to disconnect GPRS without the need of installing other software ??

please advise

This appears to be a "new feature" of WM2003, always on GPRS :-). It does seem to timeout the connection after a little in-activity.

I'm in the same boat and cant for the life of me imagine why they have programmed this way. I can only imagine it's a bug and will be fixed.

[slamma]

Thought I was just stupid :)
We'll technically I am I was soft restting to stop it to start with :)
Looks like I'll have to put on Spb mon

[Ali-Butt]

You can also turn off the phone (tap the reception button and click "turn phone off"

and turn it back on !
also cuts GPRS

[tenzin]

Right, Ali-Butt, it's also the way I do it ! : turn the phone" off",GPRS is also diseable, then come back to put the phone "on" ... if someone find a better way :idea: ....post-it please :D

Well the best solution i discovered is to use Sbp GPRS monitor, since you wont benefit from the Auto Connection / Disconnection while checking your email since the device will connect but never d/c. So all connections and d/c and done manually by you instead of using the Off / On methode use the Disconnect button in the GPRS monitor for the time being until they find a solution for this bug and yet you wont have to turn to phone off and on, consume power or someone calling in this exact min to find that your phone is switched off.

If you dont have Sbp GPRS monitor i am whilling to share it with the ppl having this problem.

:wink:

I've installed 2003 and it's all great. A few problems with the syncing but after 3.7 (strange, I had 3.7 anyway though since I've reinstalled it off the MS website it looks different to the 3.7 it used to be??) it did eventually work. Scary few mins though!!

I bought All-locations GPRS counter a few months back, but the one thing it doesn't really have is an end connection button. I also bought SPB's PocketPlus but it's saying that it's not compatible with PPC 2000????? Does anyone else have this problem? I've tried logging onto their website but it seems to be down all the time. This program used to automatically cut the gprs connection if say I'd loaded MSN and then shut it down. Very handy!! If anyone knows how to get past this or where they've put an update to work on 2003, please let me know.

In the meantime ARZLEB, if you could find it in your heart.... ;)

Cheers

'Always on' is a great idea, PPC2003 can disconnect automatically and re-connect when a phone call comes in so why is it an issue? The only reason I can think of is cost (if you have something polling the internet racking up MB's).
For delivering mobile applications and corporate push E-mail, this feature is essential.
These devices are not really targeted at the consumer market more at the business user so the carriers will love this feature to deliver extra services and generate GPRS data revenue.

Hi All
the best solution is the easy one , simply press on the hardware button ( the red button ) for about 2 seconds and it will disconnect the GPRS Connections !! easy ha !! :wink:
