argh. Yes I think that is the issue. My phone keeps using the MMS to continuously pull data. It is still very very hot. and the activity monitor on my phone shows significant flux in activity.

Normally, I don't connect to wifi. I use only the t mobile internet. Unless I manually disconnect the MMS and reconnect using the tmobile internet, I can't access my emails or surf. I am work now. Don't have wifi here. So have to check at home.

So still hoping someonw would be able to help.

To see a connection in the list is nothing to worry about.

All connections are stored using gconf and are passive entries that aren't able do anything. It's just data, not a program.

If you really want to remove a connection, go to Settings and Internet connections. There you'll find a Delete button.

Try the apn solution in the wiki - it's not the solution I used: Frals has clearly found a better solution than the fiddly way of fixing it we used when fmms was new. If that fixes the apn problem, at least you'll know whether that's causing the overheating (which would cause the battery drain).

I find I can read some webpages but nothing else if I'm on the mms apn - what you can access varies according to provider and what they allow over WAP, I think.

Edit: Just realised you're surfing at work. Here's the solution from the wiki:

Open X-Terminal and enter: /opt/fmms/fmms_config.py and press enter.

Retire, relax, enjoy your family. It is just a phone. Not worth it.

Joorin,

the connection under settings- internet connections, doesn't allow the delection of the MMS connection.

I just did that. typed in that command in x term. pressed enter. Nothing happens. As in the internet connect defaults to MMS.

Install the application "fapn" and use that to delete the mms APN
