I was looking for the best way to disable data since I am surrounded by wifi in my area. I could ask AT&T to do it on their end, but it would also disable text/sms and I could really need data sometime. This small utility, by Paul O'Brien, seems to do the trick.

I still need to know what is the best way to automatically connect to wifi when a connection is needed? I am using Q-Mobile 1.2
Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks
I'd like to know this also.
Well theres a few Wi-Fi stumbler that automatically connects for you once a unsecured or an already known connection is available, but I find to kill the battery life. But I don't know of one when its needed?
Could you mort script, and add an extension to say an Opera.ink
Have mort script open the Wi-Fi stumplers automatic connection function?
Kaiser tweak will disable it and is available here:

I do know that it will disable the data option. The program from modaco may not work perfectly yet, or something is being reset by some of my settings; I will edit my post up top to mention this. I may just have to connect to wifi to update things like pocket weather (I like SBSH software, and wisbar), quickgps, and so on.
Then again, I could just shell out an extra $30 a month for data.

How can I avoid WM going to sleep when I'm transferring "big files" with WIFI ?
yes of course.. just in the battery menu configure that PDA doesn't go sleep..
cheers.
It's already done...
In fact, I'm using "Slide to unlock" (S2U2) and I'm trying to sync my RSS feeds with "pRSSreader" using WIFI. After a few minutes, the screen goes to black and wifi is disabled...
So I'm looking for a solution to get my update and lock after finish
Another possiblity: Keep WIFI activated when going to sleep....
I use this to ensure keeping skype and msn online via wlan... u will find the registry key somewhere here in this board if u like it like this (just be sure to turn wifi off when u dont need it for battery reasons)
Hey lemmings,
The easiest way is to install kaisertweak.
There is an option in the XML file under Wifi Standby Mode: Enable the function
Soft reset and you're done!

The WiFi turning off on me has bothered me on occasion. I looked and I don't see any WiFi settings on Kaiser Tweak. I'm using Version 0.4 if that makes any difference.
Thanks,

Viva Kaiser Tweak ! I've use it to enable Wifi Standby Mode.
Yea, I hate that. Good thing they made Kaiser Tweak! I would be a forever annoyed by the sim contact list showing. . Is there a solution to hid them forever?
Just changed this. Thanks!
My university has a log in for Wifi and I was tired of logging in everytime my phone went to standby. Now I'm always connected!
Battery hog though.

I downloaded the latest version, which I find out is 0.41 (my old was 0.4) and now I see the WiFi setting. Thanks!

The wifi standby freezes the phone on the Tytn.
1) I installed SMS chat thread v 1.0 which did not work. i think it is designed for touch screens and I have an HTC s730. I used the WM remove programs tool but it left behind several folders which can be seen only on the folders screen for messaging. I lso have no confirmation after send feature. The company, vito technology has not responded. Any ideas?
2)can anyone recommend a GOOD sms app for the HTC S730?
thanks!
How can I make absolutely sure my phone doesn't connect to 3G/EDGE unintentionally? I don't want it to default to this when it can't connect to a specific WiFi-signal, since my calling plan has terrible rates for data transfers.

i may have the perfect solution for this....(especially if you're operator is Tmobile)
go to start>settings>connections>connections.
manage existing modem connections.
tap and hold that connection located there and delete it.
now without connecting to a wifi signal, open your browser and type a site (ex. google.com) and if that edge/3g doesn't pop up, SUCCESS!!!
hope it works and good luck.
Is there registry hack to force phone to ask user confirmation before connecting using GPRS/EDGE/3G. All normal phones has that...

I'm not recognizing the menu choices there, is this for a s730? I did try to change user name and password in GRPS settings under Start>settings>connections>GPRS, but that didn't seem to help either.
What omadon99 suggested about a registry hack would be perfect, since I don't want to permanently disable 3G/EDGE, I just don't want the phone to connect to it and cost me money without confirmation when WiFi doesn't work.
Hi there. I have a frustration with my Xperia. I know this phone is designed to be used in conjunction with the internet, but I have limited bandwidth to use. I find that my Xperia frequently connects to the internet without my knowledge. I cannot determine which programs are connecting, but is there a way I can prevent this? I would like programs to ask permission before connecting. Is there a program I can use or a setting that can help me.
I also use SPB Shell 3.5.
Thanks
there is a program called nodata. it can disable data communication in the phone. I forget the link just search this forum or use google
Im looking for app like that too.
@clodderes nodata just disables connection and you have to manually enable it. We are looking for app that will ask you if you wish to connect each time something will want to connect and then automatically enable/disable.

I Agree. One that asks would be better, but thanks clodderes because at least I can stop my phone connecting at this time. Maybe someone knows of a program that do what we want
I'm also interested in this.
I have stock rom, PL, and I've been going over customizing my system, installing good software and in the end I got most of the free stuff at reccomended software thread even though I didn't follow it. That means your reccomendations are approved by me. Anyway...
Is there any software for windows mobile, paid or free, which installs additional connection manager/overrides default one?
I would like it to have some of those options:
-maintain different WiFi hotspots and remember their passowrds(default doesn't seem to remember the pass, it always forgets my home hotspot password...)
-ability to tell 3G etc. to cancel connection and not try to reconnect. Right now when I by mistake turn on some internet app it tries to connect, when I cancel the connecting bubble will jump out before I'm able to close the app, and it's really hard to close the app without connecting...
-being finger friendly... like most of rest of my phone now... Anyway, I can't imagine much apps to be less finger friendly than default manager so it doesn't matter that much
And basically the more options the better I've looked over net and looked trough XDA with google but I didn't find anything appropriate.
10 Button Comm Manager
Have you looked at the WM 10 Button Comm Manager by Dutty. It won't help you to remember passwords, but it has a button to turn off 3G. When you disable 3G, it won't connect to a site with 3G again until you re-enable the connection.
Well, I just tried it, but I don't really see the point. Even if I turned it off my programs would connect with Edge. I pay for the ammount of data transferred and I don't think changing to edge helps anything except for slower speed xD
Edit: I found something like that: http://www.maxprograms.pl/plik,510.html
I will try it out later, but it might, just might, do some of things I want.
My phone is pissing me off for some mysterious reason the internet connection keeps turning on . i want to know if there is some setting in the phone where i can make it so that it never dials a internet connection ever ever ever. but i still want wifi to work. help me out if you knw what i am going thru. prbly gonna get a mad bill this month
Did you search for this? IT's like the first app ever made for this phone.
You want to look at Kaiser Tweak:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=349009
Another option could be GB Soft Tweak:
http://gb-soft.cz/xdaii/product_gprs...61_diamond.htm
Never had a problem with Kaiser connecting without me wanting it to !
I use GB Soft Tweak as I like the option of instant time-out disconnect (something those useless Tw*ts at WM HQ should of thought of by now !)
Check your email account settings & any other app that uses connection.
Uhhh.... like.... NoData ?
