Completely disable service provider's data connection?

How can i completely disallow a data connection apart from regular phone calls? im running ROMeOS 2.2 at the moment, with fring (which is set to ONLY wifi) but fring also is enabling the tmobile edge and then when i delete the edge settings on the phone it goes to the "Tmobile Wmodem Link" thing, which i dont want. can someone help?

Try creating a connection setting with no APN set.

Or simply use Modaco NoData... Google it, it's free!
It's basically a toggle to activate/deactivate data connections.
I use it to avoid roaming data costs!

wow, just what i needed, thank you!!

No problem, glad I could help!

you can tell your service provider and tell them to stop ANY data connection, ATT does that, now even if I use PIE to open google ( without activating wifi) or start fring, it shows there is no data connection available.
Also if ur using fring, u can set the rule for it to connect only through wifi.

Im not sure if tmobile will do that, as all everyone wants it money. Anyways, yes as i stated in the first post, i had set it to "wifi only" yet the phone still connected through data if the wifi connection failed.
But problem is solved.

thanks for the info just what i needed

And what is your power setting under settings/connection/ wireless network?
If it's set for best battery set it to best performance and try.

Im already connected over wifi. Signal stength is fine. I just cant use the internet over that connection.

I've seen sometimes that even if your settings are fine it doesn't connect to
internet with power in battery best. Don't ask me why.
What are your settings under connections? Internet or work and so on?

I'm pretty sure it's due to lack of assignment of DNS servers from the Acesspoint you are connecting to.
You should try to manually setup DNS servers for the connection. There are plenty of free ones, google it.

battery setting: tried best performance, no difference
Internet or work: tried both with same result
DNS: changed setting on wifi adapter: dns: 208.67.222.222 alt dns: 208.67.220.220, still no internet for me
What should i try now?

Still didnt get it to work, please suggest me something.

I also had trouble using WLAN. In the end it seems, that the wlan connection was not the preferred routing, and nearly all data still flowed over the mobile connection. When using WLAN I always have to terminate any existing mobile data connections (Tap on the icons on the top, then on the data connection-type icon, e.g. stylized G for GPRS and then disconnect in the pop-up).
The weird thing is, that not all data went over mobile. DNS-Requests where sent over WLAN, but connections to webservers where routed over the mobile connection. Seems to me like a bug, as you would normally expect that all traffic is routed over the wlan once a connection is up an running.

What is the standard of your W-LAN? Is it 802.11b? Mine does not work with 802.11b but is working fine with 802.11g.

Wo use just WEP. The router cant do more.
I dont use any mobilde data connection, way to expensive with my provider.

3G/GPRS instead of Wifi/Wlan

Hello,
I have an problem. When i'm connected to Wifi and launch Opera, weather update or anything else which uses internet. The diamond makes connection with the 3G/GPRS network. The wifi is being ignored or something.
I thougt that i had seen this problem before on this forum, but i searched and can't find it anymore.
Does anybody know an solution or knows where i can find one?
Grtz

You can set network priority up somewhere, i'd be of more help but i don't remember where this is in settings

I have also been looking for a solution to set network priority as wlan first but cant find where to..

I've been reading this site a fair old bit recently! First time i've been influenced to post though. I'd also love a solution to this. Does anyone know how to change priority settings? I swear i'd turned GPRS off, but whenever I check the weather or internet, it connects, sometimes even when I have a wi-fi connection active.
I wish to only use my Diamond with the wi-fi, don't want to get raped on the data charges. Any help would be greatly appreciated Thanks.

That's the exact issue i have! Its bloody anoying!

how about using NoData or from Advance configuration utilities in comm manager actually disabling all other connections ? i've been confronted with the same problem many times and rather use the available Wi-Fi over the mobile internet connections, so that helped me

That's not good enough for me. I have a databundle so when i'm not at home i wanna use that internet. But when i'm at home i want wifi!

I think i found the problem. When you make a connection with a wifi network you can choose between "internet" and "work". When you choose internet there's nothing wrong. When you choose work it doesn't make some kind of internet connection so programs fall back to the gprs.

I'm having the same problems. I'm having a data subscription so don't want to disable it in total. What I tried was go to wifi settings --> network adapters. Selected internet from the drop down box on top (work was default for me). But Opera still connects through 3G or G. What settings did you change exactly Rik_X?

The settings that i changed is when you make a new wifi connection it asks if you want to connect as 'internet' or 'work'. You have to choose work.
With wifi networks allready configured you have to do the following:
Go to comm manager --> turn on WLAN and let it connect to the network --> then push settings --> Wireless LAN. Then go to Networkcards (in dutch its netwerkkaarten) (its under the SSID)
Then click on the connected network and change work into internet. Accept the setting and with a reconnect its works (for me)
Good luck

Dank je! This worked for me.

Moderators are working with the same

Wi-fi/imternet toggle

I am an amatuer with xda, as well as my pocket pc (I have the htc fuze{touch pro for att}), however I enjoy both and am learning more and more all the time about both. However I have not been able to find this, and was wondering if such a thing existed: a program to toggle between wi-fi and internet for other programs. You see, I don't have a data package, and don't like to pay for the internet. So I was just wondering if anyone knew of a toggle for something like that.

I'm in the same boat. I use this, and have it mapped to the PTT button. Works great.

I cliked the icon and it turned on my wifi. Is that all it does?

Not really, don't get me wrong, I will use that app on my ptt button too because it is very useful, but I was looking for an app to change other programs kind of. It seems like other functions on the phone, such as downloading a MMS, or updating your email inbox require the internet. I didin't know if stuff like tat could be changed to wi-fi instead of the data connection

Well the best solution I know of would be to use Modaco's NoData (attached) which will disable any kind of data connection. Another thing I personally do is to go into the "Phone" settings and then "Bands" and select "GSM" for the top box and "Auto" for the bottom box. Basically that turns off 3G.
If you are connected via Wifi the Wifi connection will take priority over any other connection. So whenever I want to check my email for instance, I push the PTT button to turn on Wifi and then send/recieve and no data is used.
Hope that helps!

Yeah, that does, thanks a lot!

My experience with nodata have not been all that good. Since the wifi reciver is pretty weak I find that if I fall out of wifi cover the phone will connect with 3g even if I'm running nodata.
If anyone know about a program that both activates wifi AND deactivate all other means of internett connections that would be great. I'd rather surf for free on a wifi connection that have a low signal than to pay for surfing with 3g.

I'am also searching for such a solution. I use Exchange server sync for my contacts and appointments. This sync should not go over the Mobile Internet connection, i need it only in our intranet by using WLAN/WiFi
Regardless if WIfi is enabled or not: The Touch Pro tries to connect by Mobile Internet to the Intranet-Server(!), this fails, of course. When i disable the Mobile data connection on the connections settings tab, anything is fine.
In the advanced settings of the exchange server config, i found a drop down box for the connection. But all it shows is "Internet" meaning the mobile connection. The office/business connection (=intranet config) is not available there...

Can wifi and 3G run at same time?

Can wifi and 3G run at same time? I need them together, wifi to print via wireless printer and 3G to use net.

Technically, not a problem to have both active. Problem might be that the app you want to use for wifi could map itself to the internet/3g connection group. Or the program you download with ends up switching to wifi, if that's what the phone prefers when it has two specific connections.
Usually is dependent on the program implementations now, though. But if it seems to work and then somehow fails, the app's connection preferences probably is the problem.

Thanks for the reply but I didn't get you mostly.
I am using HP ePrint app. I want wifi to connect to printer and 3G to recode data to print. Turning on wifi automatically connects to wifi. 3G turns off. Any how to force them stay together?
