I have the garmin mobile xt 4.20.30wp on my phone and I installed and configured nodata because i don't have data plan. Why is it that garmin can still connect to Medianet(EDGE) and i struggle to keep disconnecting it?
I don't believe it needs to be connected for the GPS to work, or am i stupid?

Do you have aGPS enabled? If so, that's why.
Duh, didn't check. lol

Hi Guys,
I'm a newbie but just wanted to know if there are any gps programs that do not require GPRS activation and you can mark locations on it??
Thanks
i use Mapking (asia) and Garmin XT and neither requires GPRS activation. it helps if i download the latest data, and it can be through GPRS or any other internet connection (wifi for example), but it's not required for either to work....

I use Garmin Mobile XT for serious routing but I agree, Google maps or Windows Live are brill when you have them on Sat photo and can actuall get a visual reference of your actual location and the buildings around you. If you view the maps/photos over Activesync or a free WiFi connection (like at home) for the area you want to use, they are stored within internal memory and if you disable data connection (or better still the phone) it will use these stored maps as GPRS is unavailable.
EDIT: Actully just checked and the Google ripoff guys have stopped that. The program halts without a data connection! Bummer!
Is there anyway at all to disconnect the internet access from my phone?

There is a app called NoData. Download the app.
how do they charge you for wifi, wifi is connected apon your own networks, how do they even know if youa re connected to wifi or not?
I'm a total newby. How do I do that?

Brain overload. Just let him search for Modaco NoData and install it, as it'll fix his problem.

I'm going to be the third person to recommend installing Modaco NoData to toggle on/off your GPRS data network access.
Hope this helps!

You can call your provider and have them disable data services on their side. That way, you don't have to worry about a 3rd party patch or program not working.
Guys, please help me. whenever i connect any of GPS programs, my device automatically connects to internet. when i am in my home country this is not a big problem, but when i am abroad the fees for roaming GPRS/EDGE are huge.
can you give me any advice?

Download KaiserTweak and disable "Assisted GPS". This will configure your phone to rely solely on the internal GPS chip for routing instead of using cell phone towers as well.

Its also possible to change this with AdvancedConfig if you have it.

Yeah... what we both said.
I wish my Assisted GPS worked like that. I have it turned on, but it never connects to the internet when I turn it on.
BTW what are the server ip and port settings supposed to be?
Thanks
AT&T Tilt on AT&T network.
also on the KaizerTweak go to the Data (GPRS/EDGE/HSDPA/WIFI) section and disable the GPRS connection by selecting the 4th line where it says "Enabled:**** Web" ans set it to "Disabled" to avoid extra charging from roaming. This because QuickGPS might use GPRS or even assisted GPS might (or not) use GPRS or other Data connection.
Cheers
I can connect to my W-Lan, but the internet connection isnt shared. Cant load anything on browser, mail, wheater... My roommates use our w-lan for internet with their xda´s and notebooks, just my diamond isnt working. If it is connected over active sync i get internet, just dont want to use the cable all the time. Any suggestion? Thanks for even reading this!

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.
I have the problem that my Diamond (German Vodafone ROM 1.93.162.3) cannot auto connect to the standard internet Data connection (Vodafone web). It's working fine after a clean install from scratch, but after a while without installing anything special it no longer auto connects to the internet and I got a sync error in mobile outlook. It still connects properly with Vodafone live in e.g. Google Maps, but not with the real internet.
I still can manually connect via the installed OS program (Internet-Freigabe), but that's not very handy when you have to start a program and connect manually each time before checking your mails. And staying always online drains too much battery power.
Any ideas?
