I have agalaxy s2 and have the GPRS pack enabled from Vodafone.
Every 2 minutes my phone flashes with a message about the usage of gprs data and how much i have left. This causes screen to come on and phone to vibrate. This message is similar to the balance messages sent by network after each call (not an sms, just message with OK button)
Any option to disable these messages. Everyone i know if being annoyed with this.
Vodafone India tells me they dont know how these messages can be stopped.
Is there an app or something that can block these ?
This is happening because you might have installed Juice Defender or similar software that switches off your 3G/Edge (data) connection when your screen is turned off. There are 2 options for you to try:
1. Ensure that your data connection is always ON even after you turn off the screen. OR
2. If you are rooted, try this app: Prepay Widget

It might work even if you are not rooted. Give it a try.

Hi I would like to see a solution for this too. Not that I get those messages now and then, but whenever sending an sms I get a box like that telling I have been changed 0.00 rs which is actually annoying. I will try the app, however there any other way than rooting to stop the pop up?
@OP u got sense 3.0 UI in GS2?
got a reply from Vodafone email support that it cant be turned off.
wonder if there is an app that that block these messages.
I've turned off battery apps like Juice defender so i dont get many notifications
A tech rep saying it can't be done is a worthless response.
At the very least you could investigate options like:
Removing the process via Root Explorer (or similar app)
Freeze whatever the app or process is that is doing this in Titanium Backup.
Flashing to a stock (non-branded) firmware that doesn't include this crap.
Flashing to a custom firmware that doesn't include this crap
Its not a installed app that is doing this ! The service provider sends a flash message with the usage details.
Isnt there any apps that can block these. I'm sure it will be very popular with Vodafone users if someone makes one.
There should be some kind of MOD to push the pop up message mentioned by the OP in the first post to the notification bar at least.

AFAIK, it has been already dicussed here and no one came up with a solution. So we are left with no other choice .

WHAT firmware and what version of whatsapp are you using?
Is your wifi kicking out a good signal?

I have the exact same thing, no matter what Rom, firmware, kernel, version of Whatsapp, router, modem, whatsoever. It sometimes just happens, no idea why.
When this happens I have a good signal. I'm on 2.3.6, and have the latest whatsapp version.

What did the Whatsapp developers say when you contacted them?
yeah these issues still exist... got it now on my device.
got I9100 on latest cm10 nightly (8th Sept.) with latest whatsapp version. and if you read all comments on the market you'll see that many ppl got these problems. sad
same issue here with i9300 stock ics
it works only on mobile data and when i turn the wifi on Whatsapp doesn't work
tired of deleting and reinstalling but same issue !!!
BTW my device is not rooted ..
i have been using what's app for good 4-5 months now and today i just got this issue. whats app won't work on wifi unless i turn it off and turn 4g on. i tried uninstalling and deleting the folder and did a clean install. it still won't work.
Just hit me last night
Got the same prob since last night!!!
tired to uninstall and reinstall it + boot my device million times and still won't work over wifi but my damn slow edge network!!
i have sent a email to whatsapp costumer's service and still waiting for their reply
These are issues related to the whatsapp Servers or sth. For me it works again. Without reinstall and so on. Just wait ... and tell them bout the problems
I've had this same problem for at least 6 months... doesn't work on WiFi but is fine on data...
What seems to happen is when you turn on WiFi it works fine for a while... but then stops getting or sending messages completely... just sometimes randomly it may start working again... say if you have lots of messages backed up to receive... at times it may start working again... but that means asking you people to bombard you with messages and still its not a sure shot solution...
Quite annoying I must say... especially considering reception is really bad in lots of areas and WiFi is the only way...
WIFI Whatsapp
Sort of same problem here, when i am on wifi and whatsapp and my phone is on there is no problem receive and send.
But when the phone is on standby after 10 to 15 min no more messages receiving, wifi is on.
when i turn the phone on and open whatsapp the messages pop in....
On data without wifi no problem.
WIFI setting always on.
Same problem buy not consistent. I have found a kind of fix, if your rom supports it, I use the long press back to force close function, then restart usually solves it. Alternately, pressing home, then swiping it off the task switcher sometimes helps too. Sometimes all you have to do is wait it out.
Was this problem solved in any of the updates. It appears as though I'm having this problem on one of my phones. It's the stock ROM with great wifi signal.
EDIT: I realize this is the S2 forum and my problem is an the optimus, but I am inclined to believe this is a whatsapp problem

The same problem started happening in the past couple of days. I a using CM 9.1. I enabled the Kill Application on long press of back button and you're right--After I did that and launched WhatsApp, the waiting messages (with the clock icon) went through and I got a check mark, then two.
Weird. All the other apps are working fine with Wi-Fi.
Same problem on my HTC sensation

I travel a lot and i was in India Last week and this week i am back in germany and it suddenly stopped working on saturday.
Any Solutions would be really appreciated.
Try this! Worked for me !!
I used VPN which worked for me . But i wanted a permanent solution. So I upgraded the modem firmware. Now it is working fine
Sorry to post here, but Im facing the same problem on my galaxy s5. I've tried a lot of things and nothing seems to fix it. I've changed my wifi router and the problem persists.
anyone came with a solution?
The problem is on the wifi router. I changue my router two days ago and i hadnt no problem with the old one.
If you retry to download pictures, it gonna works, but its really slow. Try to changue your wifi router to a newone
***********SOLUTION*****************
Guys,
I have also faced the same problem and here is the solution:
There is a Problem which started on 10th November. BSNL has blocked whatsapp.. BSNL users can not use whatsapp through wifi or dongle.
But there is a solution for this.. :
Install " vpn one click" or "Easy Surf VPN" app
Connect to India server
Or any country
Once ur done with this, u can use whatsapp and all the other sites blocked by BSNL
Enjoy Whatsapping

Hi all,
I'm using a GSM Razr XT910 with the CyanogenMod 9 customised ROM by J.Y. Daddy (RAZR-CM9-12.05.17-UNOFFICIAL-GSM-J.Y.Daddy) and I keep receiving duplicate SMS messages. I've changed to "Original timestamp" in SMS settings to see what's going on, and it seems I'm getting the same message up to 9 times.
It happens with multiple contacts, and I'm not sure how to fix it. I'm in the UK on O2 - does anyone have any ideas for how to fix, or has anyone else experienced a similar issue?
I had this issue too.
I live in Australia and have been using J.Y.Daddy's CM9 builds pretty much since he started porting them over to GSM. I tried to narrow the issue down to a few factors and the main causes I suspected were:
1) Different kernel version to your phone's "natural" one. Have you used RSDLite to flash any different fastboot files? Or are you on rooted stock initially?
2) Handcent. I began using this app after making the switch from GOSMS a while back and shortly before the duplicate message problem began. They have actually confirmed that there is some compatibility issues with some Motorola handsets, and this is reflected by Handcent's changelog. Are you by any chance using Handcent?
3) Finally, the last cause I come up with was a network issue which is refusing to send an 'acknowledgement' packet to the provider, essentially meaning the message is never marked as received and therefore, it keeps sending the message in an attempt to correct this.
In my experience, the problem was #3. I was on Optus for a long time (The 'second place' Australian telco), and recently made the switch to Telstra (#1 telco) and the issue has been resolved. If you are on stock kernel and do not use Handcent, then unfortunately I think it may be a network issue.
Don't take my word on this though, I'm not an expert. Just speaking from experience.
Thanks Mr. Ektid, I think in my case it's probably #1. I installed a different 2.3.6 rom over RSD in order to get the Bluetooth working without causing a bootloop, so I guess that must have messed things up. I don't use or have installed any SMS apps other than stock, and I don't think it's a network issue as texts were working fine before installing ICS.
I've rolled back to Arctic for now, seems to have sorted things again. I suppose the way to fix the issue in CM9 would be to RSD a stock UK 2.3.6 rom and then flash CM9 over that - but I'm not sure if that would mean I would still get Bluetooth bootloops, as it seems like a fairly specific 2.3.6 rom is needed for that to work.
Ah well. Back to Gingerbread for a while.
I've purchased Redmi Note 3 Pro a few days ago. I'm satisfied with overall of the phone but there is one problem I'm facing.
After I quit airplane mode(every night I turns on airplane mode before sleep then turns it off in the morning), my phone won't detect the network most of the time, sometimes it detects the network but it took way too long to happen but still, it acts like there's no network. I couldn't call, sms, receive call, receive sms and use mobile data. Everytime I have to restart my phone to detect the network.
Is there any ways to fix this problem ? It irritates me a lot as I have to restart my phone everyday.
update your phone, this issue has been solved about a month ago
Yeah the new builds are much beter
Hi guys,
I also have network problems on my Note 3 Pro - but without airplane mode. My phone just randomly looses internet connectivity, sometimes completely, sometimes it drops to Edge, most of the times with a warning about roaming and data connectivity. And yet sometimes I completely loose mobile signal but a on/off airplane mode fixes it.
It's pretty irritating, I didn't have these sort of problems with my prev. phone, and I haven't visited any new places or with bad reception.
I'm running the 7.1.8.0 global stable rom.
PS: My locale is missing, and I chose Argentina on random, then disabled auto-time. Could this mess things up ?
Any input would be appreciated.

I am facing a terrible network problem with my phone too. I have used China and Global ROMs and I cannot fix the problem. I am currently using Global 7.1.8.0
My phone does not respond to incoming calls when in sleep mode. Incoming calls go directly to voicemail. It seems that it is connected to the network while in sleep mode. However, it does not respond to the incoming call.
If the phone is awake with the screen on, it shows an incoming call.
I have tested other SIM cards, switching from 3G to 2G, reseting the phone, clearing cache, disabling "do not disturb".... The problem just does not go away. It's a shame that a phone with this much potential has a basic problem like this.

Just tested, mine rings when sleeping. But define sleeping... ? When display is off for a some time ?
I am also suspecting something with the sleep mode, it usually 'switches' to Edge or no connection while in my pocket. I am also suspecting problems with the sim card, have you tried with a new one, or card in another phone ?
Otherwise I really like the phone It brought my trust back in Android.
edit: Update > Download Update and it started downloading, then restarted, installed something, but I'm still on 7.1.8.0 ...
Auto download is ON.

I define the "sleeping mode' as phone with screen off for some time. I tried different SIM cards and from different network companies (3 and Vodafone). Same problem. My network signal is extremely unstable. I like the phone a lot too. However, network signal is something so basic on a phone that it is a shame it does not work properly.
I am also facing similar issues but xiaomi people are not recognizing the issue. They are telling that it's an isolated issue. Please post here, so that they fix this problem.
http://en.miui.com/thread-255747-1-1.html
I got a new sim card, and upgraded my plan, now I have good reception, almost always LTE, sometimes drops to H+. How I miss calls when my phone's display is turned off/sleeping. I'm getting pretty pissed of with Xiaomi about this ****
So annoying
Hope we get the 7.2.2 update soon and it fixes this problem

Got my phone yesterday and had the same problem this morning. Solved by signing out of my MI account, switching off VoLTE and rebooting. Everything works properly now. Hope this helps.

Forget my previous posts on this issue. Follow these steps as they worked perfectly for me and I had to repeat them this evening since I did a reboot.
1. Keep sim registration on automatic on both sims.
2. Power off phone.
3. Remove sim 1 and keep sim 2 (my sim 2 is 3 Mobile UK roaming. That may make a difference).
4. Power on phone. My roaming sim 2 registers immediately.
5. Power off phone.
6. Insert sim 1 (primary or local sim).
7. Power on and you should have both sims working perfectly.
8. Go to sim settings and change your preferred calls and data back to sim 1 if you need to.
These steps have worked for me twice so far. Hope it helps.
P. S. I must add that I have zero, zilch, nada issues with my Zenfone 2 running the same setup (local sim and uk T-Mobile). Love the Xiaomi so far but detest the lack of native alphabetical for the apps. Considered Nova but the free version doesn't give message counters. Any suggestions?
There is a temporary trick posted at http://en.miui.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=251620&page=1#pid4736228
I was having network problems and it seems to be much better (perhaps solved) with this trick.
I wish to know what this com.qualcomm.qti.supersaver does!

I am glad it helped you. Make sure you type the code *#*#995995#*#* twice after stopping the apk. I actually disabled this apk without any secondary problem.
I am running Global ROM 7.1.8.0. Still waiting for 7.2.2. Let's hope this problem will be fixed in the next update.
Hi,
I'm also facing network issues with 7.1.8.0 : when exiting airplane mode or switching from Wi-Fi to gsm network, I lose data connection. The only way to get data back is to reboot the phone.
Sadly, the trick from miui forum didn't work for me for this particular problem.
Il hope this problem will be fixed in 7.2.2.0 update.
@ mura20 : thanks for the trick nevertheless...
OTA 7.2.3.0 is here!
OTA 7.2.3.0 solved my problem !
Great
I also got the new ota. But how to flash? Twrp returns error 7 when I try to flash

i also have unclocked bootlader will it get bricked if i install it using the update app
I received Android 12 update for T-Mobile, Friday morning I believe. I've noticed a few bugs but nothing major. One is when creating folders for app icons and using the plus symbol in the folder trying to add more apps, it glitches and doesn't. Two I'd Bluetooth connection bug occasionally when you try to first sync your device. A restart corrected this, and one issue prior to the update and even after is the Smart Lock On-Body detection notification under settings not going away.

Yup, I got my OTA update this morning, too. I wasn't sure if we'd get it, being all too familiar with LG's updates (or lack thereof). I haven't had any issues yet but won't be surprised if there are a few niggles here or there.
This update had done nothing but brought pain to my phone
