Android Auto 3G(gprs) access

[ufo3k]

i just got an x10(android 1.6) , it seems like d phone can automatically access network/gprs whenever it feels like, this may cause a huge bill on me n also drain all battery power within d day, unlike older phone(not that old), gprs will be in use when needed n shutdown when not needed.

The only way to stop all this auto 3G downloading/uploading is to manually disable all the mms feature in the mobile networks or kill all task(kill task appilcation). And if i wanted to use those gprs, again i have to manually turn on all these setting, whereby traditional handphone need not do all these , which i find it more convinient unless subscriber has all the free DATA given.

Hopefully the os/software can be upgraded better to understand a user needs whenever needed and not automatically downloaded data as if noone bizness.

any advice ?

Go on the market and download an apn application or widget.

There is also 3gwatchdog that has a data widget and will prevent you from getting expensive bill by disabling the 3g data utomatically base on your preferences.
