Well, I've scoured the forums for a straight answer, but haven't been able to find one, so I'll ask here...
What exactly does the popular NoData (.cab) block in terms of functionality?
For instance, with it on, will I still be able to make/receive calls? Send/receive SMSs? MMSs?
I understand it disables GPRS, but I'm not sure what functions it disables as a result.
Thanks!

You will still be able to make/receive calls? Send/receive SMSs? MMSs.
AS I understand it it toggle a registry value to remove your data bearer ie GPRS or 3G

Works well if you don't have a data plan with your phone. I don't use data because I'm usually in a hot spot with wireless internet so I check my emails that way. I use NoData to ensure my phone never connects to gprs or 3g so I never have any unexpected charges
Right from the source...
It lists your GPRS connections, and allows you to disable them so that they won't be used.
are there any that go on the home screen?
Actualy i had bad experiance wit nodata, i took fathers sim card (same call provaider). that card had gprs enabled from provider side. i instaled nodata on mine kaiser, set it to disabled, close program, reopened to check if it saves settings, then opened i-explorer. i wasnt connected to wifi at that point, i opened page (random page) and whola, it still connected to gprs and and opened page. so after that i deleted program and now i seek other program that can disable gprs...

Did you click Exit instead of clicking the cross in the top right corner? Have used nodata on several carriers and never had it connect when not wanting it too.
Another way is that if you can change the GPRS access point to work rather than internet it will not connect, but not fast transaction on PPC, smartphone used to be faster with regards connection settings.

I believe you have to hit Exit (right soft-key) instead of the "X" button so that NoData saves your settings. So open it, toggle your connections to "Disabled", hit Exit and click OK/Yes in the message box. To re-enable data, toggle connections to "Enabled", Exit and then OK/Yes. It works great for my brother and cousin on their BJII's since they don't have data plans.

To be honest had always ticked the X "and has worked" as always thought exit would close and activate connection, but just tested set it and use any of them, Exit or X and it works.

Friends,
Anyone know the hack how to remove the 3G icon via registry hack? I looked around and didn't see anything out there.
Also, I no longer use AT&T data plan, how do I automatically set wifi connection to trigger when viewing web pages, email?
Please advise and thank you for your help!
tvos
1)Dont think you can remove the 3G icon, but i use wktask to cover it up and other unwanted icons(battery, volume, etc) its adjustable.
2)If you dont use the dataplan i suggest using Modacco Nodata to disable gprs and medianet. Its a good way to make sure you dont accidently use their service. can save you a loottt of money!
3)As for automatically set wifi, dont think there is one. Its just best to leave it on. In my opinion wifi doesnt consume that much battery when its on(aside from just being used to surf, etc. and it shuts off when phone is sleeping). But then again, you have to consider the issues of wifi availability, and configuration settings(wep, etc).
thank you for the quick reply!
I figured a way how to keep medianet, that is in the network settings by not selecting it for primary dial connection.
Looked everywhere to turn off the GPRS icon couldn't find it.
tvos
heres another quick reply!
as mentioned in my earlier post, use this for a quick way to enable/disable medianet and gprs.
Thanx for the info..
The one thing that bothers me is the GPRS icon at the top with the message "no data connections are found" message.
I wish there was a way to remove that.

Can anyone tell me how this works on the wings.
When using Fring you can actually tell it to conect via wifi etc. but what i want to know is does mesenger do it as well or does it go straight to the gprs. Also when you go online via IE. does it default to the GPRS. I dont see anything that says to use the WIFI conection first and it looks like messenger and IE use the GPRS instead even though i have wifi enabled or am i wrong here.
Thanks ahead
By default, all aplications (IE Mobile, Messaging...) use GPRS, 3G (or other cellular network). If WiFi is on and available, all aplications are using WiFi instead of GPRS. (Only Fring has a bit different connection handling)
What Moneytoo said, only sometimes when I enable WiFi on the phone it wont turn off the data connection so I usually do that manually in the connection manager.
When you are discussing the process of connecting to gprs, I will add one question. Is there a posibillity to initiate 3G/GPRS connection without any app? E.G.: When I want to initiate a connection, I have to use some app which initiates it itself. But there are some, which can't handle this - so I have to for example check my e-mail first (altough I don't need it at the moment) and then the connection stays on and I can use second app. The button in conn manager for data connection is disabled, so I can't use it.
ok
OK thats good to know as i always have the wifi on at home. Just wasnt sure if messenger and IE use it or not as to be honust i dont see any diff. in load speed etc. I would have thought it would work faster via wifi the say gprs.

Very true, but I notice (and speculate) that you only cannot select enable or disable the Data connection unless you change or add another connection, or the phone is using it. If I wake up in the morning my phone is using data since I have the HTC home screen with its weather application, hit comm mngr and data is grayed out, but once the phone wakes up or I select Wifi and it starts working again the option to disable data comes up.
For me I just load or refresh the weather page and my data is connected, its set to always be on and since my plan is unlimited I dont worry about it.

Depends on what you are loading honestly, a page that your mobile browser has to read, compress resize and modefy to display properly will take time to load while it does all of this regardless of how fast your connection is. Could also depend on what others are using your connection for and if your on the B or G standard. Overall I notice a fairly good increase from using Wifi but I am only on Edge here which caps at about 20kb/s where 3g can get into several Mbits/s
Right i dont know if this is a bug or its just the way the Diamond is but i go to connect to the internet via opera...everything is fine and it connects via HSDPA. But when i close opera down...the connection is still alive ie doesnt disconnect automatically, i have to manually do it myself which is going to be a problem as i wont remember most of the time and im pretty sure the battery is going to be dead the longer i leave the connection as it is.
So is this normal??..reason i ask is with my nokia n95 i connected to the net but when i closed the browser down...the connection died as well ie disconnected automatically.
If this is normal is there anyway i can change an option that will close the connection as soon as i disconnect from the net??.
Again sorry for asking but its puzzling me as to why it would keep the connection alive even if i wasnt using the net...
Anyone help?? or is it just the way it is??.
I noticed the same thing -after coming from an iPhone and an N95.
Just go into the connection manager and close active connections after use. Its a pain, but an easy solution until someone suggests something better!

Yes, it's "normal".
You need to press the "end call" button, or configure it using the setting application to drop the data connection, or use the command manager to switch off the data connection, or use advanced config program to set the data connection to end after some minutes.
Well the way i figured it out is by using the long press key function, ive mapped it to my call end button which if i press for a few secs..disconnects me from the data connection.
I was hoping that there would be an option where you could specify when to kill the connection off ie after 10 mins of idling...ive been looking through the settings etc and cant seem to find anything...neither can i find anything in the advanced config program either other that gprs auto attach which ive disabled...

Using 'Advanced Config' you can drop the connection after xx minutes of idle.
Programs > AdvConfig > Menu > Connections Settings.

Well i dont have a data plan and only want to use wi-fi when available. Should i delete the gprs settings or is there a program to disable it. I ask this because im afraid of it useing the internet and not wifi. Is there a way to do this. I tried and searched no results
thanks
Do the following to remove any data connections, other than wifi
Do the following..
Start > Settings > Connections > Connections > Advanced > Select Networks >
(CHOOSE YOUR CONNECTION FROM THE DROP DOWN LIST).
Choose the one you want. Example MEdia Net
(After Selecting)> Edit > Click and hold on the item next to radio button (example MEdia Net).. when the popup screen (similar to windows right click) comes up click on delete. Then do the following. >> General Tab > Click the button "Delete Settings".
Repeat the steps for other items listed on the drop down list...
NOTE - You cannot delete settings for My ISP & Work Network. Which is fine.
Hope that helps.
P.S - If you ever need the settings back again.. run the Connection Setup Wizard again
-Rare
I made this video so you can see . its pretty simple if you want to use your wifi connection just enable wifi and fallow steps.
start>Settings>connections>advance>Select network> choose my work network on both> then connect to your network and serf the web

Or use Modaco Nodata, which allows you do enable/disable in 2 clicks.....
Bookmarked.
I do it every time I flash, but I always have to re-figure it out.
Thanks!
wow, search could have told you this in no time flat.
I used to have a regular poo poo samsung phone with that irritating buttonmin the middle to connect. Every time I accidentally pressed it, it would try to connect, and I would cancel immediately. Much to my dismay, I still received connection charges just for trying to connect. Fed up, I called ATT, told them my situation, and requested the ability for my ACCOUNT to use internet be blocked--since I didn't appreciate 6-10 bucks in connection charges (sinceI didn't have a plan). They removed it (not just from my phone no., but from all phones on my account) , and anytime I pressed the button, the connection failed. Upgraded over to a tilt, with the same sim card, any media NET connection fails, since any connection is disabled. Ofcourse, removing the bloatware really helps.
Use Modaco Nodata. I am a wifi only. Here @ work, and @ home. So, no data really needed.
I have NO data plan and its the 1st thing I install. It has NEVER allowed any data, and its a toggle. No other setup required.

Wifi does eat batteries though.

Nice of you to repeat someone.
Thanks everone for the replys, i tried getting logged into modaco but the site keeps telling me my username or passwords wrong even though they just sent me my passaword.
Would anyone that has this .cab file to disable the internet, upload it for me i would really appricate it
I believe the KasierTweak app has the option as well. Of course if you had just searched in the first place I'm sure you would have had your answer several hours ago.

ONLY ONE way to Disable Media Net (AT&T)
The ONLY way to disable Media Net from At&t is to call them and get a WIX block placed on your account. The downside to that is you lose the ability to send/receive picture messages; regular text messages are fine.
I've tried changing connection settings, band settings, etc...
I've tried turning off 3G.
I've tried NoData.
My Touch Pro 2, WM 6.5, keeps connecting to Media Net.... Until NOW, when I had the block placed on my phone account.
I know this is an old thread, but I've been doing intensive searching on the matter, and this page keeps popping up; so I'm posting to let anyone else who's looking know.
IF ANYONE OUT THERE COULD DEVELOP A PROGGIE TO FIX THIS, I'D BE MORE THAN WILLING TO DONATE FOR IT!! (And I'll bet many others would, too!)
Hi,
I have a small problem which I hope there already is a solution to.
When I use the GPRS/Edge it costs me about $3/MB so of course I don't want to use it when not necessary.
The problem is that when using Wifi if the connection is lost the phone can switch to GPRS/Edge without me knowing which can be expensive. Is there a program or setting of some sort so I have to "press ok" each time I want to use GPRS?
I can change the settings so I always use Wifi but then I have to change the settings every time I want to use GPRS.
In short:
Default should be Wifi and if Wifi is not available I want the phone to switch to GPRS after I have "pressed ok".
There is an app called 'NoData' which will totally disable GPRS for you.
Of course, when you want to use the GPRS, you simply toggle it back on and away you go.
Can't remember where I found it now, but it's around the site somewhere. Maybe search in the development and hacking forum??
I believe it is also built in to some of the custom ROMs already.
indeed, its called nodata from modaco...
