I have a new AT&T motorola RAZR V3xx. I have installed the Gmail app and the Maps. Both work great, except that everytime I make a request it always asks me this question:
"Use data network?" -Yes, Always Ask -No, Ask Later -No, Never Grant
Obviously I have to check "Yes, Always Ask." But it gets annoying. Everytime it needs to download more information it will ask me this. I just wanted to know if there was a way around it, so that it will just always "use data network" and never ask me again... or just ask me once in the beginning.
go to applications in your mobile and move your selection over "Gmail" and open "options" or "more" goto permissions and you will get your answer there you can select ask once.

It is a bit more complicated that that. Both Cingular/AT&T and T- Mobile have restricted unauthorized access to third-party applications (i.e. applications that are not signed by them, and which you can "purchase" from the provider). Clearly, Google Maps is a third-party application.
What you need to do is to get some software for your computer that allows you to browse the filesystem in your cell phone (this is different from just allowing the computer access to the MMC/MicroSD/ TransFlash or similar card, which you can do directly on the phone). To do this: - If you use Windows, you can use "P2K Commander" or similar. But first, you need to install the USB communications drivers for your phone. Either get the Motorola Phone Tools from your provider (this may be difficult without paying for it), or get download the drivers from developer.motorola.com (you need to register for a free developer account to get this). They may also be available from third-party sites, such as http://www.modmymoto.com or http://www.motomodders.net/. Then, get "p2k commander from http://s5vi.vxxxstuff.com/commander/ (use version 4.9D for the v3xx). - If you use Linux or Mac OS X you can use "Moto4Lin", available either in your Linux distribution (Debian or Ubuntu), or from http://moto4lin.sourceforge.net/ - the Mac OS X binary can be had at: http://moto4lin.sourceforge.net/wiki/Mac_OS_X - no special drivers are required.
Once you are able to browse the filesystem on your phone (specifically, the "/a" folder containing the system software), you can delete or rename this file: /a/mobile/certs/root/x509/kjava/j2me_domain_registry.sm
You are better off backing it up (or renaming it) in case you want it back.. That's because although you now have the option "Ask once" when prompted whether or not to use the data connection when running third-party applications, the Java applications that are installed by your provider (Cingular?) will no longer work at all! (These are the applications that are preinstalled under "Games & Apps"). This is something you want to seriously consider before you delete the file.
An alternative would be to create or find a modified "j2me_domain_registry.sm" file which allows both the Cingular or T- Mobile signed applications to run, and allows third-party applications to run with the option "Ask once" as opposed to "Ask every time". Such a file will be very specific to a given phone configuration (i.e. model - v3i,v3x,v3xx etc - firmware revision, cingular/t-mobile flex configuration and so on). Although there are some success stories on http://www.modmymoto.com/, it will be harder to find the exact version of the file/files that you are looking for.
Oh, and if you DO manage to get some of these tools to talk to your phone, you may want to do a little bit of "seem" editing while you are at it. A "seem" is a series of configurations/options that control the behavior of your phone. For instance, there will be an option as whether or not to display the european GSM (900/1800 MHz) and UMTS (2100 MHz) bands under the "Network Setup" menu, in addition to the Cingular ones (GSM 850/1900 and UMTS 850/1900) or T-Mobile ones (GSM 850/1900 or UMTS 1700). Or you can choose to disable the "half data rate" option, forcing your phone to use "full data rate" for communication with the cell towers, thereby increasing voice quality.
