All I want is for my N97 to stop telling me whether the packet connection is active or paused or whatever. I don’t care. I’m so close to switching packet data off completely just to get rid of the annoyance….in fact I’m even closer to getting a new phone so I can smash this one.

1- While my phone is connected to a Wifi access point, still not all applications run using the Wifi connection, some are using the data package connection… The Nokia n97 mini should run all applications using the Wifi connection when its on, and when there's not a Wifi connection available to use the data package conenction… specially that the priority was set for the Wifi connection! But it is not working this way!!!! So what is the solution???
2- Sometimes there's a non-stop pop-up notification “data package not available” very annoying and cant figure out how to stop it!

I have more of a question than a comment. I ave a Nokia e71x. I have checked my ip address on several different reputables sites such as whatismyipaddress.com centralops.com whois.com. They all show me as being behind an unconfirmed proxy that I have a dial up connection which I reaaly dont understand how that could be but what puzzels me the most is its showing me with a ststic ip. it is my understanding that you need to request a static vs a dynanic and that you need to pay extra for a static. i did not request a static ip furthermore I aqm being blacklisted as a spammer. and when making phone calls my screen will pop up a blurb that my call forwarding has been activated again my setting show this to be untrue. I have called at&t about this many times they have been of no help other than to say that my phone should not bhave a dial up or a static ip. I have several times reset this phone back to factory default configuration doest chane a thing. Do you know what this could be

Whatever stupid notification they are, they sould be designed as non modal.
Modal: take whole input from user. Every respond from user pointed to it. User cannot access other item/menu/icon/function until it dissapears.
Non modal: while this kind of notification appears, we still can access any other function. Like baloon notification in windows.

FOR THE “PACKET DATA CONNECTION ACTIVE/On Hold” MESSAGE to GO AWAY – for N97 (prob applies to other’s as well):

Go into your Settings>>Connectivity>>Destinations>>Internet (or whichever option you use to connect to the internet; probably set to default)>>Contract Internet (or the profile that uses your Packet Data Connection). Click Edit in the options menu and then change the “Use Access Point” from After confirmation to Automatically.

That should take care of it. Note: you may need to disconnect that specific connection from Connection Manager under Settings>>Connectivity).

i like going offline with N97 and then the nice message box that keeps popping up telling me the widgets cannot be updated.

So then I need to go to options > content to offline mode.

Why do I need to do this separately????
