hi is the a way to totally disable the vodafone mobile internet on my diamond permenantly,i just want to use wifi only but it keeps connecting with the vodfone network and its costing me .
Look for a program called nodata. Theres several references to it on the forums. Basically you can disable connections completely.
you can also
go to
settings->connections->connections->advanced-Select network
and choose my home network or whatever your non voda connection is called
finally tha nodata worked thanks alot for all help on this matter

Hi guys
I've got a question regarding the diamond, though it could also be possible that this is only a windows mobile question. Is it possible to *only* allow data-connections via WLAN and *not* GPRS/UMTS/whatsoever? I want to use this thing at home and at university but how does the diamond know which connection it should use? I don't want any byte sent to my provider which is quite expensive. What happens if I open Opera and WLAN is not connected? Does it auto-connect with $money-printing-machine-for-o2 or does it then tell me "hey, you are not connected. try within a WLAN-cloud"?
Thanks

if you remove the isp settings for gprs/3g/whatever
it will never use it for data
Ah, thanks! This is what I always did with my old mobiles. I thought you had to do a magic dance with wm to achieve what I wanted.
Does anyone know anyway to get opera to ask which connection to use when I fire it up?
I have search already but have only found something about 'My Work Connection' but that does'nt work.
Like th OP stated but I need to keep the data settings so I can use them when WIFI is not available.
Thanks in advance

Is there any utility like this?
Is there any utility, which will do the next:
If any program want to conect to internet it will ask me first how do I want to connect: Wi-Fi, 3g, GPRS? And I will choose...
I'm also looking for a solution for this problem.
Currently I has diabled the mobile data traffic by choosing an unconfigurated network at the "Programs that connects automaticly to Internet should connect with" screen.
This is fairy ok due to me rarly using other networks than wifi. But IF I do, I don't want to have to mess around with the network settings. I want an "choose your network" popup message.
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).
hi everyone. im new to the forums. i just recently traded out my l7 for a tilt. And i love it. the only problem is im not on a great plan. No unlimited internet or text.
So i do most of my browsing using the wifi on the phone online. but ive been wondering if there was a way to disable the phone from actually using the cell phone service to connect to the internet. Id rather just stick to my wifi that i use at home or in other locations. cuz im afraid im going to rack up the phone bill.
if anyone can explain how to do this it would help out alot.
thanks in advance.
disabled internet
what you normally do before asking for help is search the forums. The search string "disable internet" we do the trick.
try it
Might work...
If you don't mess with your settings often, you could simply delete the internet settings. Search as was suggested, but I think settings>connections>connections and deleting those settings should prevent your tilt from connecting. If you never text, ask your carrier to block data access.
NoData
i had the same problem and found that Modaco.com had created some software called Nodata
ths enables you too enable and disable all data connections.
find it here:

hope this helps
i just delete the last letter of the APN so that the device errors out when it tries to use data. will take a look at the modaco.com link thanks for sharing @madgerald
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

Hi,
Im new here, so i dont actually know if someone asked this before, so here i go
How can i prevent my diamond from using, gprs connection, for weather updates, opera, explorer, and ect.
Id like it to use wifi, for all those things but it seems he uses gprs for default, is there any settings to tell him to use wifi instead of gprs?
Thanks
settings->connections->connections->advanced tab->select network
pick the item in the dropdownbox's which are not called
my isp or something like that
then the phone cant use gprs until you set it back
There is a small app called NoData by MoDaCo which is allows do disable data connections

ok, this worked, but now how do i force weather updtates, to use wifi?
The diamond will choose to use the data-connection available. If wifi is enabled, that's what it will use, if not it will try to use something else. turn off auto update, and update the weather manually whenever you have wifi coverage.
ok,thanks for help, everything works as i want to
so anyway, one more uestion. how can i instal security sertificate into my phone? (*.cer )
