This morning, my phone’s battery ran out so, on the way to work, I charged it with my car charger. As soon as it accumulated a sufficient charge, I turned it on and continued merrily on my way.
Then when I reached the parking lot, I noticed that fring was on! I checked the data connection counter and found that I had been online without my knowledge for almost 30 minutes. I quickly disconnected. Good thing Globe has recently lowered their wireless data rates to P5 for 15 minutes.
Still, I definitely don’t want a repeat and wake to discover that I’ve been online for hours and hours. I didn’t immediately found a way to turn off the auto start feature. But finally, after a quick search on the net, I found that the switch can be found in fring->Options-> Settings->Personalize->’Automatic Start’. No more auto start!
