Vodafone Mobile Data - help get rid of!!

BenEadir

Hi all,

I've been using Android smartphones and Vodafone for over a year but lately I've started getting a Vodafone Mobile Data information bar at the top of any pages I browse and it's really annoying. It's a red bar with the Vodafone logo on the left, "Mobile Internet" written in white across the red bar and three icons below the bar 1. a down arrow, 2. a house with "home" written underneath and 3. a screen/phone icon with "fit" written underneath.

Can anyone shed some light on this and advise me what alternative I have to being stuck with this??

edit the apn and take out the proxy settings.

Thnaks Random, I thought it must be something to do with the APN but wasn't sure.

My APN is live.vodafone.com and the proxy setting is 10.24.59.100 port # 80. Do I just delete those numbers?

If I can can you tell me will it have any effect on performance (other than removing the bloody bar!) as I'm heading to France for a couple of weeks next week and don't want to come back to a big bill from Vodafone for not accessing data correctly while I'm over there.

Is there any benefit to using the isp.vodafone.ie APN instead? Would that mess up my billing?

Appreciate your expert input here Random.

take out the proxy ip (in this case 10.24.59.10) and remove the proxy port too. this should remove the bar for you and you shouldn't notice any other effect on your browsing in my experience.

assuming you're on prepay then you are better off to use the live.vodafone.com apn while you are roaming in my experience. rates and t&c here - http://www.vodafone.ie/planscosts/prepay/roaming/data/

Thanks Random,

I'll do that. Should I delete/amend any of the other settings?

MCC - 272
MNC - 01
Authentication type - PAP
APN type - Internet

try it out after just removing the proxy ip/port. should be all you need to do.
