Turnin’ Edge On And Off Tips
So I’ve been usin’ SBSettings to turn my T-mobile Edge Internet on and off enough that I’ve got some tips for ya.
First, unless you’ve got unlimited Internet with T-mobile, my advice is to turn Edge off (and leave it off) when your not usin’ it. This will save not only your data from push service like email, but also save power. And if ya do have unlimited Internet, turn it off when your either in wifi, or when your doing something for a long time, like watchin’ video, and don’t need data (to save battery juice).
When you turn Edge on or off, keep in mind it will disconnect Bluetooth for some reason. But don’t worry, it’s only for a second. Now that ain’t a thang’ for me, but if some of you have Bluetooth devices that will lock up if your phone disconnects from them or somethin’, then keep that in mind.
Turning Edge on or off will make your signal drop. This is your phone signal resetting itself I guess. In addition, it takes Edge about 10 to 30 seconds before the Internet will be ready. You’ll know when Edge is ready when your signal bar goes back up to where it was.
The last thing to keep in mind is that there’s a 1/10 chance that Edge will cause your iPhone to feeze when turning on or off. Make sure to save what your doing before turning Edge on or off.
Peace, J
