GPRS Connection

[bryanwhitby]

Having upgraded from the XDA to the XDA2 I have noticed that after receiving a MMS the GPRS indicator in the top left of the screen remains on. I can switch it off by turning off wireless and then turn wireless backon to get the normal service indicator displayed. But do I need to deactivate gprs ?? . and am I paying for it even when I am not making a call or doing things that use the internet or messaging services

Thanks for any info on this

It should close after 7-10 minutes or so.

I don't think you're paying for it being open - after all it's gprs not time-based billing

It does not switch off after 7/10 mins, But I have noticed that a symbol appears in the top of the screen showing a phone with a white circle containing a X . This shows for a few seconds then disappears, This happens often ,

thanks

After sending or recieving a MMS my xda-2 stay connected to the GPRS wap connection, it dose not cost to keeep it connected, if you wish to disconect just hold the red end key for a few seconds

Cant get it to close using red key ????
If its not costing anything then I guess its OK

even if you hold the red end key for 5 or so seconds, dose it not "beep" and theen the connection drops, again not that it matters as its not costing anyway

not sure then, But as to the icon (phone , circle and cross) i asked this ages ago and was told its to do with the IA caller id thats included on the XDA-2, The handbook shows the icon in one of the screen shots but nowhere dose it mention anything about it
