3g not working after uninstalling toggle data widget !! - XPERIA X10 General

my 3g isn't connecting at all now.. not showing the 3g sign in the notification, and not able to connect to anything.. I downloaded this app called "Toggle Data Widget" after a bit i figure i didn't have much use for it, i unistalled it... now im stuck with this situation... anybody help?

Have you checked your network settings? in wireless is it set to gsm only? need to set it to gsm and wcdma preferred. Also check you have an entry under apn settings.

Sent from my X10i

yea i have it set to gsm and wcdma preferred, but i just noticed that it took off my username and password under my apn settings, anybody with rogers wanna share their settings for me

nvm figured it out... just hit the default settings and it works now

I have somewhat the same problem. I installed Juicedefender today, and found out that after disabling 3G, getting the 3G connection back is problematic. I tried and deinstalled all apps which had APN control. Now I'm left with a 3G connection which is very hard to find, even planemode and reboots don't work initially. After going trough the MMS and mobile network (don't know if it's the correct translation, I have a Dutch version) settings, I sometimes randomly get a 3G connection, and then it stays on as long as I don;t disconnect it. and the 3G speed also seems allright its just when I manually disable it, getting it back is a huge pain.
Any idea how I can fix this, or at least measure the 3G reception ?

Cingular 8525 - Can we disable GPRS/EDGE and use only Wi-Fi ?

Is it possible to setup the 8525 so that it only connects to internet through Wi-Fi and not any of the other options? Based on some threads, it looked like Cingular has disabled this option, but I am not quite sure. Thanks.
The only way I was able to do it was to call Cingular Tech and have them disable the GPRS on their end, now if I go to PIE and the WiFi is off, the GPRS/EDGE Connection pop-up opens, then I get an error message saying the network could not be found and a dismiss icon....
The only way it will connect to IE is through WiFi now.

if you go to settings then connection and delete the connection settings for gprs it will not connect and you can use wifi only
however i seem to keep getting gprs not connected error if i do so?
I'm having the same problem. I'm totally green to the high tech world. Heck this is my first attempt at anything greater than using my calculator function in a phone So if someone could walk me through what I need to do to set my phone up so I can connet through wifi i would reaaaally appreciate it.
I had Cingular put me on the no data plan (not even pay per use). In case that makes a difference.
Thanks in advance for the help.
All I did was go in to the connection settings and change the User name and Password. I do not get any error messages stating the network cannot be found. I get a login screen with User/Pass and Domain. I just click cancel and it drops back to IE.
Now I do not have to worry about accidentally connecting to their service.
well,we can very much achieve it -- In the internet settings in connections,select both of them to My ISP,edit it to nowap.cingular.com
Make sure setting is set to Internet,not work!
I did it and I use only wifi all the time!!
The previous solutions are not really workable for me since I don't want to delete my cellular data connection, I just want to be able to turn it on and off as I choose. With Windows Live, I can have a Wifi connection and turn off cellular data in the comm manager screen and it will just open the cellular connection again.
A hack to turn off the "auto connect" for the cellular data would be great. Make it like the BT or WIFI, where I have to go to the comm screen and turn it on. That choice would be great.
Anyhow, I am thinking of making the Work connection as the default, then deleting all work connections. Then when I actually want a cellular data connection, I could manually select it and say connect. I'm not sure if the applications will close it and try the work connection again or not. I will try it and post again, probably tomorrow.

This works wonders:

ETA: This is what I have been using to deal with gprs autoconnect on my 8525 and it's perfect for my uses. You just start the program and toggle on or off the data connections.
Gprs Disable
It really works thanks for your research

HSDPA Keeps Turning Itself Back On

In the Comm Manager, I try to switch Data Connection (HSDPA for me on Orange UK) off, but it keeps coming on.
I don't want it on!
Is there a better way to keep it switched off until I request it to be re-enabled?
Should only come on when an app requests data access. Have you got something running in the background? Quickgps perhaps?
i can't turn mine off via the Comm Manager unless i put the phone in GSM only. fyi, the HD 3G bands don't work in the US.
Windows Live Messenger is running in the background but that should be sorted by the WiFi which is on.
I go into the Proxy Settings for Orange Internet and untick the box that says that "this connects to the internet". But then it automatically ticks itself again and connects!
Perhaps it's an Orange problem?
Don't think so - I'm on Orange too and it doesn't happen. Anyway, it's the phone's choice to connect to HSDPA, it has to actively make the connection.
My best guess is your phone is losing connection with your wifi for short periods, and thus resorting to the backup hsdpa.
I think I've found a solution:

Aren't you confusing 2 icons ?
The big plain H only means that SSDPA is available on the network. This doesn't mean you arer *using* HSDPA at this time.
The icon to look at is the one just on the right of the big H. When you are using HSDPA, it shows a little H with 2 arrows below. If it shows an antenna with the signal level bar below, you are not using HSDPA, but only GSM.
At least it's the way it works on mine. As soon as I need data transmission (like for weather forecast), it uses HSDPA since it is available. Otherwise, it uses GSM. Therefore,
mine turns itself on when i recieve a mms....could you be recieving one?
Close all applications using it!
Sometimes I forget to close Opera after using it, and it happens to me too!

HTC Weather using Wifi ???

Hi,
I did search the whole forum for answers but in vain. Whenever I access weather tab and update the info, it updates using 3G/HSDPA.
But, what I want is to update using wifi at home. Is there an option to make it use wifi instead of 3G/HSDPA?
Pls lemme know coz it wud help me save a few penny
TIA
SK
Well I did the following.
1) As I don't want any applications (in background or by request) to update via any Phone Network I deleted the internet setting.
Now I can connect via USB or Wifi and then download, both work.
If I do it when I am not connected then I get an error message (as I have no internet connection setup).
So this works for me but also means I have to remake a internet connection if and when I want to download of phone network.
I have no flat rate data plan so its my only choice, maybe others have a better idea.
really strange, mine uses wifi and if there is no wifi, it relies on gprs.

Which is correct as far as I can see.
The issue here seems to be he does not want to download via gprs and I have yet to find an option that allows you to turn it off.
The choices are Download automatically
Download weather when roaming
What is missing is that stops you downloading via GPRS but allows you to download via WIFI and when connected.
Problem

Thanks 2 all for ur reply
Actually the problem is:
I have router at home and my touch hd connects to wifi to update mails, etc.. But when I switch to weather and update, it somehow doesnt identify the wifi connection. Instead uses 3G for updating...is it happening only in my mobile?
And I guess nodata might just work...lemme chk that out ....Thanks a ton
Mine too used to use what it wanted, hspda as first choice. So i deleted the 3g configuration. From what i have read, it is a WM problem: no way to set 3G as secondary choice

start->settings->connections->connections
here you see (don't know how exactely in english, since i have italian)
internet (???)
work
under internet, "modify"
enter there, and delete your 3G account.
Now back in connections, go advanced->select (net???) [the first button over composition rules]
Here select "work" for everything.
Now, without 3G, the phone connects to internet only if you have an active wifi, otherways doesn't connect.
Wouldnt it just be easier to use the HD tweak utility to disable internet access via 3G/GPRS/HSDPA? - just a thought guys, instead of deleting settings which may be required at a later time (i.e. when no WIFI is available)
My weather updates fine via WIFI,
My emails (using a hotmail account) keep trying to update via 3G though - I can't get it to do it via WIFI unless I use Windows Live to login then update emails
Would, but as you see there are problems (and i suspect hd tweak kills also mms's, since excludes all data connections). Instead, deleting the account, is easier. I can always reinstall it with the connection wizard.
try this: disable or delete your gprs connection, enable wifi and try to download weather data. if successful, then re-enable your gprs connection and see if it still prefers to use gprs or wifi at first place.
Use modaco NoData to make sure the 3g connection is never used.
Done
Thanx a ton for ur help...I used Nodata and my work was done...sweet and simple...
Thanx
I have a similar problem, just wanted to open a topic about it
Unfortunate, weather is not updating any more, no Wifi, no 3G.
I do not mind it using 3G, but it's not updatingf, nothing works.
I am not even sure how to delete the default 3g connections.
i will try .. i hope i will not have to hard reset the phone again
Ummm... u bought £500 phone and yet can't afford a 50kb 3G/GPRS bandwidth per month?!
Quite intriguing
@zoomee
To make email use WIFI and 3G as a fallback, in email account settings change connection to "The Internet" (it's probably set to your 3G Access point e.g. "T-mobile internet")
Maybe your settings are wrong. Does QuickGPS work? If it doesn't, then check your settings. With some access points of some operators, you can only browse internet pages but not use other apps requiring internet access.
@sriramkrishnan06: no problem
I am affording a 3g Connection and Bandwidth (if that was pointed at me).
I can not get any more weather data (
I deleted as explained here some of the previous set connections to my 3g provider and also rebuild one, and still nothind
throguth Wifi it seems not to work, but through 3g, not any more
it was working before, i had to hard reset it and now it does not work any more
I think it was pointed to sriramkrishnan06.
Anyway, have you checked whether QuickGPS works or not?
The Quick GPRS works form me, Weather still does not work
I am little upset since i know i am missing something small. I am not THE thech savvy guy, but i know my whay arroud computers, (i am a web developer) still, somehow i am not able to make the damn weather work, even tried one of the "hacks" witht e weather database editoer, to load the default server, it is still not working for me.
If anyone has an idea .. please ..
If Quick GPS works then I have no idea. Are you sure you didn't mess up anything using that tool?
In any case, hard resets almost always work. If you don't want to, you could do a full backup with Resco Backup or similar, hard reset, test the weather, then restore the backup.

Thanks for your reply. I tried but when i unchecked the "use proxy" thing, WM is re checking it again.
Maybe there is something in the band settings that i miss.
@opensea: i'm afraid pa49 was answering to my thread, your problem could depend on the coverage in your area.
@pa49: if your answer was for me i checked that, thanks anyway.
Ok, now i know it can work flawlessly doing a hardreset, so my fault..will have to put all the stuff (well not all,i guess) again. But gosh do i have to check if it works even if i put stuff like tomtom or sportypal back on? I'm sure it's either HDTweak or AndvancedConfig, i unistalled them but no use. I guess they leave "bad" settings for my purpose even if unistalled.
Well, bye

3G/Data Connection stability

Hello,
anyone has the same problem as mine? And maybe a fix
My problem is the stability of my 3G data connection. Sometimes it just hangs which means that it indicates that it is connected to 3G but when I try to sync my mail or browse to a page, it doesn't show anything and it timesout as it seems not to be connected.
I disconnect my data connection and connect again to fix the problem. I experience the problem when I leave my phone on standby for sometime.
If I have Opera running in the background, I have to exit it and start it again after the restarting data connection to be able to browse!!!
Anybody experience the same problem and maybe has a fix?
I sorta had this issue, but the phone kept switching from 3g to HDSPA and back again, not loading the web page during. So i disable HDSPA to force it only 3g. I dunno if if this is whats happening to you, but hey worth a shot no?
Where?
Where can I disable HDSPA ??

Start - Settings - Connections - Advanced Network
The tab that comes up, click on the drop down list and choose disable. Soft reset and see if your connection stabilises
thx
thanks, will try that
i Already try that but the problem persist i´m going to try with a diferent radio
I have this issue too, Its been on the last 3 radios I have used. Going to update to the latest one tonight
Have you guys tried disabling the proxy?
Settings - Connections - Connections
You will have your internet settings, and then My Work Network. Under your internet settings, click Edit my proxy server, and uncheck This network uses a proxy server to connect to the internet.
However the proxy server that already in there will dissapear, so write it down. But oddly, on my device, i cant edit it. i dunno, i guess if something goes wrong, just run the connections setup again.
This is a known issue without a solution at this point.
Here's the main thread discussing it, 30+ pages of trial & error:

It seems to be working when disabling HDSPA!! No connection problems so far
Yes, but you're also not getting 3G...
yep
I am getting 3G!
He's getting 3g but not 3.5G which is usually faster speeds.

What is that option to disable HDSPA?

I posted it early up. read the thread dude it only disables hdspa, its not the same as the 3g switcher in the comms manager, that turns off 3g entirely
to the OP, glad it worked however, my internet started workin a few weeks later with hsdpa, could be due to a better radio that i flashed. so if u flash a new radio, hdspa might still work better so be sure to test it out!
