I have a HTC Diamond GSM. I would like to disable internet access through my cellular carrier (Rogers - Canada) and keep Wi-FI access only in order to avoid data charges. How can I do that ? In settings ? In registry ?
Thanks

You can then toggle which data connections you want to disable or enable.

Many thanks - just what I needed - Cheers !!!
prob solved
Ok....problem solved...mods pls close this Thread...
Do I have it?
Collegues Desire shows a "H".
My N1 only ever "3G".
I have a HSDPA account btw.
Yes the N1 is HDSPA as well. Check the network type in Settings -> About this phone -> Status while downloading a file or something (it only use it during data transfers) to confirm. Stock android doesn't use the "H" icon.
It says HDSPA there. Thanks!

And is possible to add in custom ROM like in cyanogenmod?
If you know how link me please
What's the difference between using something like APNdroid etc to control mobile data and just going checking
[settings -> wireless & networks -> mobile networks -> data enabled]
Does this do something different?
Effectively the same operation.

Thanks for the fast reply.
Does android not allow an easy way to toggle this? Why change the APN name instead?

As in the widget to toggle data connection on/off? You have to download third party alternative.
I got charged for data even with data when roaming unchecked. Apparently A-GPS disobeys that setting. Changing/"disabling" the APN should work regardless.
I am using an N1 and set it up with Tmobile web2go using the internet2.voicestream.com apn for data and epc.tmobile.com for mms. Now on my G2, I am able to toggle data enabled on and off. On the N1 however, that option is not even available to me. Is there an APN setting I have to have if I'm using web2go or something? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I have the data on off option on my nexus one. Though I am using cyanogen ROM but I thought the option was always there...
That is what I thought too but does not seem to be the case. I have the option on my G2. It had micromod's 2.3 on there before and same thing, had no option to toggle data on off, reverted back to stock, still no option. I am assuming its something with APN settings, just not sure what.
Does turning off the mobile data or background data option turn it off? Think its under accounts in main settings.

That option *should* be in Settings --> Wireless & network settings --> Mobile networks.

Yes I know it should be there but it's not. I've also noticed this same exact think on my friends Captivate. There has to be a fix for this.
The option is there on my stockish FRG83D:
Hmm, in that case you could perhaps try one of the various applications available that will toggle your APN settings. I use JuiceDefender; you could use it to create a widget to toggle your data connection from your homescreen.
It's my brothers phone. I'm going to take a look at it later, he said he bought it rooted, had gingerbread on it before hand but asked the guy to revert it to stock before selling it. We'll see.
Ah, so it may or may not actually be stock. If he's looking for a stock experience, I'd suggest following the instructions found in the wiki for reverting back to stock. Otherwise, I'd highly recommend a CyanogenMod ROM for maximum speed and utility.
If it was reverted back to Eclair then it won't have the option, it was added in Froyo.
It could be that, I'll take a look at his phone if I get a chance to go home today. He is a n00b, he is a former iPhone user (not the good kind btw).
He is running Android 2.1-update1 with build EPE76. His phone is rooted, when booting I see the lock icon at the bottom. I've search the forums, can't find the original OTA update.zip file to update it to latest version. Help please?
Download the FRG83 system image from http://developer.htc.com
Use fastboot to flash system.img and boot.img from it to the phone and it will do the rest via OTA.
You are being great help Rusty, thank you. I'm following instructions here (http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Fastboot) and my phone has S-On. Since these files are straight from HTC, do I have to go through and make it S-Off?
You can't make an N1 S-OFF, as long as you see a padlock on startup you're good to go.
Thank you Rusty!, you've been great help.
Hi folks,
Recently flashed my Omnia 7 to the generic retail UK rom to get rid of the T-Mobile splash screen and search.
Trouble is, I have lost the 3G toggle option.
I have the option to toggle 3G data, but not the cell.
Any ideas? Is the T-Mo UK rom the only one that can switch between 2G and 3G?

Look here
That's for 3G data, not cell. Like I said in my thread post. *Facepalm*
If you are homebrew enabled the Samsung Tools app can add this for you (regardless of the rom that you are using)

Think I was too late to the party for the Chevron stuff, I assume that's what you mean.

I don't think it's possible without homebrew unfortunately. It's controlled by a registry setting, which there is no way to modify without a homebrew program of some sort.
Edit - If you don't mind having to use an ugly GUI then you could try this to toggle 2g/3g (doesn't require DEV unlock):
Go into diagnosis (##634#)
Enter code *#2263#
