Guaranteed data cut off?

Hey all am about to go off roaming with T-Mobile. I know it says the data plan only works in the UK but I'm sure they'll be happy to hit me with the bill if this is not the case.
Is there a way I can 100% stop any data comms from happening?

I just make a dummy data profile with no acess point names or anything and just switch between that and my real one depending on weather i want my diamond to connect to the internet or not lol

No Data doesn't seem to work for me (unless I'm missing something)
I'll try the Dummy connection

Tried blank connection too, no joy unless I need a restart?

Sorry, must've been being dumb before. I installed Advance Comm manager so I could turn off 3G and now it seems to work but I'm not sure if I needed the latter
Cheers anyway

NoData works like a charm for me..
Just install it, run it, and toggle the three different data types.

You can use QuickSettings from the market to disable mobile networks completely. You can also in the phone settings only allow 2G.
As far as AGPS is concerned it uses Cell Towers to triangulate the location of the phone and doesnt use any Data unless you are using the Maps app which will need to download the map info.

theres a disable "use wireless networks" option. the description is "location determined by wifi and/or mobile networks"

That's not how AGPS works, it does use data, albeit a tiny amount. It receives info on the location of GPS satellites so it knows what to lock onto.

what to turn off when on holiday

im off on holiday to Vegas on wendesday with me Nexus 1, what do i need to turn off to make sure im not hit with some massive bill when i get back to the UK?
I've read stories about people being charged sh*t loads cause they left things running in the background of there phone for example then they get hit with a massive internet usage bill.
should i turn wifi off, GPS, auto sync, widgets, etc

Wifi works independent of cellular signal so you do not need to worry about that at all. GPS and Auto-Sync rely on internet access, whether wifi or cellular. Widgets will not be a bother unless they access internet, in which case you want then not to be using cellular access.
Aside from roaming phone calls, the reason people get massive bills is wireless cellular internet. So turn off cellular internet access, and use wifi whenever you need the internet.

just turn off data roaming and you're golden.

i would turn the phone completely off! when i went to germany last year i didnt dare turn on my g1, i was told i would have roaming charges even if i didnt use the phone, and it was on, in standby mode. better safe than sorry...imho
enjoy your holiday btw

Backup your APN settings and then delete them.
That way, you won't need to worry about internet charges

This worked for me in US and Spain earlier this year (UK resident on O2). Unless you've changed the default you'll probably find it's already switched off.

dont delete the apn settings, just edit them and add an XXX at the end of them. this will render them non-functional, and you can just remove the XXX when you get back home and your data will work again.

Thirded. If you're paranoid, you can turn off cellular data altogether. Erasing your APN's would work too, but that's overkill.

Err... don't bugger around with apns.
Turn off data roaming.
If you're paranoid, call your carrier and tell them to disable data roaming for you. Advise them that you're travelling and want no surprise data charges. Then they can't bill you.

Loose 3g data when Wifi is enabled with CM6.RC1

There have been a few discussions about this, but I have yet to find a solution that works for me...
I flashed CM6 today and now I'm finding that when I enable wifi, my 3g data connection is lost. Not sure this is really a CM problem, I just want to find a fix.
My setup:
Nexus One - CM6.RC1 - FRF91

what do you mean it's lost.. when you're turning Wifi on, that's the whole point (that you want to use your Wifi connection for data, and not your mobile 3G data.) Maybe I'm not understanding you?

Even with wifi on you still need 3g data to send and receive MMS. I can't replicate this problem, though, so I'm afraid I'm not much help. All I can suggest is trying a full wipe of everything but battery and rotate stats and try to flash it again. See if that helps.

It works fine for me. Are you sure you are confussing not having both icons in the notification bar with 3g being off?
I answered this question a few months ago too.

Your 3g is not lost, it just hides the icon. Go into settings and look what network you are still connected to for yourself, it will still say 3g. If you were to send or receive an mms the 3g icon would briefly pop up, send the message, then disappear. Your phone is working just fine

thanks for the help... @roger, you are correct, i didn't realize that the icon was hidden vs. actually turned off, nor did i think to go check the actual service rather than rely on the icon

APNdroid

anyone have tips for making it work on the captivate?
the current version requires a reboot, but i found that using quick reboot works too
right now im just hitting the apndroid widget and then quick reboot, does anyone know a way to make a script to tie the two together?

Get the APNdroid 2.5 beta (root required). Last I read it does work on the captivate.

Hey, what's an APNdroid?

You don't need APNdroid to turn your data off in other countries. All you have to do is Uncheck the "data roaming" box in mobile network settings.

i see. well then, that probably helped too
yay! more space on the pages to put other crap i don't need yay!
thanks
