Magician - Jam - XDA Mini - How to turn off GPRS?

[janos]

Hi,

I have just upgraded to a Magician (02 XDA Mini ROM) from a Wallaby (02 XDA1) which was running an AT&T WM 2003 rom.

My question is - where has the little "disconnect GPRS" option gone from the balloon window that appears when you tap on the Net work conection icon in the start bar?

To turn on GPRS - you tap the "G" icon in the start bar - then a "connect GPRS" option appears in a balloon. On my old XDA to turn off GPRS it was the reverse. On the Magician - there is no "disconnect gprs" link, just the words "connected" in the balloon where the disconnect link should be.

Anyone have any ideas of how to effectively turn it off?

At the moment I am just turning flight mode on and off, which works but is a little tedious.

Regards,
J

Press and hold 'End' (the RED phone button) for about 3 to 5 seconds and the GPRS session will disconnect.

This used to work for the xda2 as well, though it wasnt mentioned in the user manual for the xda2. I havent read the users manual for the JAM, but I've seen this mentioned in the FAQ on clubimate.

Cheers
Sands

Hi, simply press and hold the End key (red one) for 3 seconds.
The "G" inside a square will always remain there to give fast acess to settings.

funny becuase my GPRS connections always close themselves on my Compact. I was actually wondering how to keep them open rather than auto close?

Hi!

@digger: use the following little Utility which was originally developed for Windows Smartphones - but also runs good on Pocket PC Phones.

Download it, unzip it, move the .exe to your MDAc/JAM, execute it, apply your changes and quit it - et voila...
