E75 unknown data connection keeps appearing

I have just finished configuring the email client on E75 (this may or may not have relevance)(Fw:211.12.01). Since then an unknown data connection keeps coming up. No application is running, but there is an active connection, shown by the icon and by the connection manager. If I disconnect it from the manager, it comes back again in a couple of minutes. The data rate is 5-10 kB/hour, so no large data traffic is made.

 

However, I do not like at all that the phone initiates 3G connection without my permission, or without being able to figure out exactly what application is doing it. Automatic updates, mail check, agps, etc. are all set to off.)

Has anyone experienced this? Is there any utility to find what exactly is using the data connection?

I will try a backup, reset, restore, but this won't make me any satisfied with this product.

Re: E75 unknown data connection keeps appearing

do you setup your email with push mail, e.g. always need to update via a connection, and once there are mails in the server, it could tell you with "@" icon at top-right, you can configure it as sync periodicaly.

Re: E75 unknown data connection keeps appearing

with a data connection the phone will always be in touch with the 3g.

the phone always connect with the network to assure your possition. it does that always and does not need your permission. it is the same with data.

 

what you can adjust is if the phone needs your permission every time it connects with 3G.

in that way you can manage the connection, but if yo are a frequent user, it will keep asking a lot.

Any VOIP/SIP client or application configured ? If yes, you may want to take a look at /t5/Connectivity/E75-WLAN-automatically-reconnecting-after-SIP-VOIP-Service/m-p/640284

Re: E75 unknown data connection keeps appearing

It is already set to when needed.

 

BTW Factory reset and restore does not help. Is there any utility to show running processes / active data connections for the processes?

Re: E75 unknown data connection keeps appearing

Finally, I have found a solution (sort-of). Factory reset, no complete reload, just the addressbook, and calendar. Otherwise reconfigure everything by hand, takes some time, but now there is no unknown connection.
