Hey, does anybody know a way to use an android phone without a data plan? I know you can disable data in wireless network settings but then you can't receive mms. Does anybody know a way to do this?
EDIT: I should add that this is a Android Iphone not a htc hero

No. You need a data plan for MMS and SMS and calls, no way around that

Oh I was going to say, if it was on Sprint, you could get that one data plan for people with hearing disabilities... I'm sure you'd be able to receive MMS through that.

This sure is one confusing thread.
If this is a question about having an iPhone on a plan without data (it is... right?), then I have no idea. I'm assuming it's not unlocked and is on AT&T? I would think they require a data plan for iPhones, but I really have no idea.

It has nothing to do with an iphone, thats why I didn't bring it up in the first place. Its just getting android working using only wifi for data, but leaving the data corrected to 3g so mms will work

OK, so you want an Android phone to not be on a data plan, and rely on wi-fi for that stuff, but still have it connect to 3G for MMS? No, that probably would not be really feasible at all, unless someone can correct me..

Also, if it is an iPhone (we are talking about an iPhone here, right? Running 2.2 or something? I am still confused..), it does matter to know that, since I do not think AT&T allows iPhones on a data-less package anyway.

First of all, not the point
Second. My friend does have a data less iphone
See what happens right now is when he turns his iphone on (the iphone OS) a little pop up shows up and says that he does not have a data plan and data will not be used. But it still connects to the 3g network, and he can get mms.
I was asking if there was a way to do that in Android, thats all. Even if its not as simple as the iphone os. Just that it uses wifi when its needs data access.

Yeah, I don't know if it's an iPhone or Android, but either way I think no is still the answer
Being someone that just switched from iPhone to Hero you might be better off asking this on a place like sinfuliphone.com at least I think that's the site I used to go to.
Not sure what any of this has to do with a CDMA HERO though.

1. yes, the g1 and mt3g are getting updates up to 2.6 firmware
2. Nexus One is designed by google itself, hardware and software. htc is just manufacturing it
3. I don't think android phones will fade that easily. Android being such a revolutionary mobile OS, most of these phones will stick
4. Don't know sorry lol

I love the way you call someone an idiot, yet you can't even write a sentence that makes sense. He/she is asking for facts, not asking for an opinion...
Anyway, I follow a couple of Android sites and I've never heard of Android 2.5 or 2.6.. Any clarification on that? Sounds like typos to me...

It was Droid Heaven, they said T-Mobile will push out an update to the g1/mt3g next year. It will be 2.x with a few extra features, the most notable of which being flash. Personally, I don't believe but weirder things have happened

Like lets say some people didnt pay there phone bill and i wanted to grab a prepaid t mobile sim card (already tested and it let me text and call) but would flashing different roms conflict with it? would i have to go and get the service books every time?
Not sure if it's already unlocked, but you'll have to have it unlocked first. If it's already working different prepaid SIMs though, you should be all good.
Yeah i used the app from the market and it worked but i heard you cant get 3g and stuff. Im just wondering if its worth it. I cant give up my cappy

So, here's a way you can get FREE wifi tethering/mobile hotspot on your Droid Bionic so you don't have to pay Verizon twice for the same internet you are already paying for. I don't know why Verizon would block this feature especially when you consider that there's a 2GB cap on your mobile internet usage anyways.
<MOD EDIT>
We don't have a 2GB cap. I've been over 2GB's a month for almost a year without any issues.
we don't?

I am grandfathered in, Verizon throttles you once you reach 5gigs while on 3G, but they haven't been able to throttle 4G still, enjoy it while it lasts, I am at >3 gigs so far this month, and that is with no tethering!

have to agree with dragoon there, just starting out go with CM 7.0.3 or 7.1.0. easy to flash ,theme and tweek. good for a starter.
Well Ive had a rooted phone before. This is actually a down grade from what I had which was the MyTouch 4G. I used CM7 on that and loved it so I might have to give it a shot.

Thats why this thread is directed at the developers. So they could answer as to wether they were willing or not. Payment is always an option that is not above me. If I had the coding ability to do something like this, I would not be asking for help on here.

previously the wifi calling was done through an app that was active. Now it seems like wifi calling is enabled through a system setting which mean it must be built into the framework at this point. some have been able to take the additional framework stuff and add it into international roms and then port the settings.apk that has the toggle over as well. so not sure if this will ever come to aosp.

putting it like that, I can see it being an issue for aosp. I've still got my fingers crossed that someone will take it on
