I do not have a data plan and only want internet access through wifi. In settings, I have turned off data connection. However, when I am in areas where wifi is not present and the device tries to connect to the internet, it automatically turns data connection on. Is there a way I can permanently disable data connection so that it won't do this (so that I don't incur data charges)?
Try nodata.
Awesome. Thank you - exactly what I wanted.

I was looking for something like that, thank you I will give it a try
or just don't sent up a connection setting to the internet when you reboot your device the first time after a hardreset
i didn't set up a connection so it never tries to go on G

Hi, I got my TyTNII (kaiser) on saturday and have just managed to sort out the wireless client at work.
I don't get free bandwidth from Orange so don't really want to be using my Orange web connection when I am actually connected to wifi at work. How can i set my phone to use wireless when it is connected rather than trying to open even more connections? Its really annoying as it keeps checking my email accounts and using HSDPA to do so.
Internet Explorer wont even use the Wifi
what use is a phone with wifi if it wont actually use the wifi to access the internet?
Could someone point me at the settings. There must be a setting somewhere to get it to use the connection!

I have had no problem using WiFi with IE or any other browser. I always connect to my router via Comm Manager first (enable WiFi) and then open IE or another browser and surf the net.
Just click on the network card tab when setting up wifi and make sure that the card is set to connect to "the internet".
Your device will use a valid wifi connection if its available (before trying gprs/3g)
You may also try installing a CAB called "NoData" or "KasierTweak" that will allow you to temporarily disable data services other than your Wifi. This is what I use since I am not on a data plan (yet) with AT&T.

ah yeah - just found this - it was set to 'work' simply because its my connection at work. obviously WM counts that has being different to 'the internet'
seems okay now.
Thanks for the help
If you have an active wireless connection, it will automatically use that connection instead of your data connection regardless.
Hi,
time to time my phone connects automatically to a data session (G/3G/H) for some unknown reasons (I do not have running apps requiring a data connection).
Of course there is a window appearing telling it is connecting, allowing the user to abort, but on 3G connections that is really fast and anyway that cannot be trapped when not looking at the telephone all the time.
Is there way to configure the telephone to force asking for an authorization before initiating any data connection?
And, any way to disconnect from a data session without having to switch off/on the radio unit?
Thanks
1. Not sure how to do that. I use Advance config to terminate my data connection after 1 min of non-activity.
2. You can terminate the data connection on your comm manager.

yes
Go to Start> Settings> Connections> Connections
Untick the save password box for your internet settings.
This way each time the device wants to connect it will prompt you for the password (even if the password is blank).
Just make sure you know what the password is (you can get the settings from the web).
Let us know how you get on, and I hope this helps you.

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
I am trying to setup my Diamond so 3G only connects when I want it to. I've added the 3G button to the comm manager. Even with this set to off it reconnects when the web browser is opened.
I also have the advanced config manager installed with the Auto GRPS set to disabled but still the 3G connects automatically.
Does anyone have the same problem and/or know a fix?
It will connect whenever anything requests data, as far as I know, there's no way to stop this.
Thought there may be a hidden setting maybe in the registry that could stop this. It is annoying that the comm manager says 3G is off yet there is data connection after loading up the browser. And I'm sure it just connects even without actively requesting a data connection through the browser.
What happens when you set both options in Connections to use "My Work Network" and set your WLAN as your Work Network?
use no data
then this way you don't start it unless you want it to
hope this helps

Use no data? Am I missing something or is this as simple as it sounds!? Are you suggesting that by not using programs requiring data then I will not activate the 3G connection?
It certainly is a shame that upon activating a program requiring a data connection that you cannot select the source of this data ie. 3G, wifi etc or just cancel the request entirely.
if you want it to use wifi, simply connect to wifi before you launch the application. Windows Mobile is very different from Symbian in that way (Symbian will ask for each app).
I have one question.. Please help..
Is there any way to turn off the automatic data connections (such as HSDPA, 3G, GPRS, etc.)?
What I want is that I can manually turn on/off this data connections when I want to use it or not.. Why? Because there's a time when I use Wi-Fi to browse internet using Opera Mobile, then my data connections turn on automatically (I don't realize this) and it cost me a lot of money..=(
Thanks..

Hmm interesting.. If I install and run that program, what should I do to use data connections when I need it? I need to turn off the "no data" program, or I only need to turn on data connections at comm manager?
the nodata is a program in program files when you start it up you can disable and re-enable the ability to use 3g data as you see fit
