No, as in, once you put the APN onoff widget, APN is ON.
Press it and it goes OFF.
Then if you want to use, press it and it goes ON again.

If you want to uninstall it, make sure it is ON.

What firmware are you on?
JF4 seems to have problems with APN onoff, APNdroid, APNonoff and etc with name changing APN apps.

I got kinda confused on these 3G stuff since I barely use such service...

Just now I suddenly feel like using 3G so I checked out Digi website and did an online activation... Digi then just sent an configuration message to me with tons of code(did not ask me to save setting or anything, I just received it like normal message) and right after that the blue 3G icon appeared... I didn't even have any APN on the list(I'm sure)

Then I started to wonder, what's APN for? I went on to add APN according to first page DiGi APN info and right after that the 3G icon just disappeared in few seconds

Whatever they sent you was to configure the APN (access point name).

The APN onoff , is used to turn on/off the data connection, so your phone won't 'accidentally' send out or receive data.

It is a local service with nothing to do with digi or any other carrier.

ha?? realy meh??

how come everytime i use kies to update... it says my firmware up to date already...


its already been a month since im still using the same firmware....


waiting for gps fix leh..

Go to samfirmware.com, register for a free account. And you can see the multitude of firmwares available for the SGS.

Your firmware is updated for our region. It doesn't mean it's the latest firmware available.

And also, they release the most stable and tested to work firmware over kies.

But 'latest' often includes beta releases.

I know they sent me APN setting, the thing is, I can't see any on the APN list when I check it and that time, the 3G is already working fine

Here comes the weird thing, how did 3G work without APN on the list?

how do i check my phone region?

Means you don't have data connection yet.
It just latch on to 3G network so you can make calls on the 3G network.

Enter the APN setting as listed from page 1 into your APN list.

Guys... Any good video player? i found this rockplayer universal is good cos it supports subtitle, BUT it doesnt support 5.1ch.
Any recommendation?

hi,

mind to share any free widgets for weather.. i found using weather widget quiet useful, but now I am using daily briefing packed with sgs.. any suggestion??

moxier world , i think this is the spelling.
u can also search market for this yr.no , their weather widget is nice too, highly customisable, many options.

Does the APN On/Off turn off internet except wifi completely? Means that you cannot go surf the net when it shows OFF?

I tried APNdroid and APN Onoff but even when I set these two to off, when I use something that needs the internet the 3G still runs

wifi is separate from data connection.

Wifi on will cut off the data connection.

Only use 1, either APN droid or apn onoff, don't use both.
lol.

I'm not using both. I mean both didn't work out for me.

When if switch off 3G with either of them, it will still work when I go use internet-related application/market... Is it supposed to work that way?

Or when it's switched off, then you won't be able to use it for whatever purpose already?

It's just a brand name, why don't you email their marketing communications department and ask why they decided on the Galaxy brand instead of something else. No one outside of samsung will know their exact marketing communications means.

If you want to forget about the brand, the actual model number is I9000.

Added on September 11, 2010, 12:54 amNo, it is not supposed to work that way, off means off.

Turn off your wifi if you are on wifi and try again.

Why need PM? I think Galaxy S = Galaxy Super.

There was a previous Galaxy model (maybe more than 1 model) by Samsung. So this is the 'Super' of the Galaxy product line, maybe.

Galaxy
Galaxy Spica
Galaxy S family
Galaxy 5
Galaxy 3
Galaxy tab

All running android in one form or another.

Wanna ask why the other respective handset makers why they brand it that way? If you want to know why, contact their marketing communications dept.

Is this for some marketing subject you're taking in college? Because if you are, you're better off doing some actual research on the subject via visiting their website and linking it to marketing theory. Rather than asking here.

Btw to your PM - check their website, there is a contact us button, click that, have a read, and follow instructions.

You don't really need to contact them regarding why they choose such a name anyway. Just link it to marketing theory. Whatever their strategic marketing decisions may be, their current naming strategy reflects that. Just infer and do some academic background work.
No real right or wrong answer as long as you have theory to back you up.

Anyway, this isn't the right place to ask. Probably better to ask in kopitiam or something under a general heading like marketing. And not restrict yourself to just this particular brand.

There are many other brands that follow similar naming patterns.

They should just disable the search function if offline and allow other commands like call and text.
