Completely disable internet... - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

As title says....
i have already disabled HSPA and HSUPA through sgs tools but it seems i can't find anywhere how to disable GPRS and EDGE....could someone please guide me??i dont have a data plan and i only wish to use wi-fi....
Thank's for any help!!!

just delete the APN in settings or change it to something that wont work. this will disable any data use over mobile network

Thank's for replying,i've already done that....
i use apn on/off widget...
but what i really want is to disable the function completely to reduce battery drain as much as possible...!!

Long press power and something like "Data network" deactivate that. Should cope with the settings >>> wireless ... >>> mobile network >>> use packet data .

When you deactivated everything you can't really do more. You can't remove the whole data package from the phone.

Quick settings from the market is what i use . Mobile APN set to OFF = no data unless required = switch on .

It just changes the apn config to something invalid and back.

Yes but saves trying to strip stuff out of the firmware that may be more problematic .

There's always plane mode....
Or you can just take the battery out

Go to settings->wireless & networks->mobile networks and disable the data enabled option

It just does the same i thing i already suggested while installing an extra unnecessary app?
He wants to NOT use data AT ALL. So why the xtra app? No one is trying to strip anything out of the firmware here.

This does nothing different, just change APN settings to something unusable and thats the most you can do.

How to disable Phone Internet Access

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
Google 'nodata.cab'
Download

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

[Q] Mobile Data

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.

[REQ] App to only enable 3g when needed

So I've been testing stuff out and I notice that when I have 3g turned off I get like twice the battery life. Is there an app anyone knows of that keeps 3g off unless specifically using data without having to manually use a 3g/2g toggle?

tasker would do it, its not free but its really worth the money

Would tasker do it without root on stock?
Every app I tried since 2.3.x... none seem to be able to disable your mobile data connection.
Thanks.

Looking for a app similar to the one in cm7 that can toggle 2g on and off. Haven't found anything like it yet
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
I've notice there's an option for "Use only 2G networks". Was wondering if it's possible to make, or if there already excist a widget/switch to quickly switch it on and off.

Widgetsoid is awesome, but it still only throws you into "Network settings" menu, not toggling the "Use only 2G networks" button.
Is it even possible tho? On my older phones (Desire, Desire Z) I remember it was impossible to do a button to instantly toggle between 2G and 3G.
Control Bar?

That's our best bet for now. On the g2 you could toggle.

Try xda superpower. Maybe not exactly what you're looking for but it is useful. You can set it to disable data when the screen is off, set exemptions for specific apps, and a whole bunch of other options. Its free so you might want to give it a try.

pm me if u need help with setting it up before 2.3.3 it didnt work to automatically enable data. u had to toggle it on and off. but now it works like a charm and best thing (well not best thing on tasker but best for what u wanna use it for) u can disable data completely and still recieve mms.
and btw tasker can save u lot of battery if u set it up to ur usage
edit: forgot to tell u:
search tasker on the market and go on developpers site. there shoild be a 7 days tryal version

Unwanted Network (Moviestar)

Hello all... In my trying of firmwares, XXLQE, XXLQI, UBLPH, UBLPK, I found on my phone at least, the best battery performance came from the VSLPA firmware. That is branded by Moviestar in Argentina.
My thing is more an irritation than a problem. In my wifi settings when it scans, the Moviestar network is listed and shows out of range. I remove the network manually but it comes back randomly. I want to remove it for ever as I do not think I'll be going to Argentina any time soon (not that don't want to go for sure). I hope someone knows where the network is stored so I can edit it out. Thanks in advance....
Apns are stored in apn.conf file in /system/ etc.
I dont know anything other than that.

Oh i thought you were asking about access point settings of mobile data.
To remove the wifi network you just need to long press the access point and click forget. Doesn't that work??

May be you can try Hotspot shield or Hola.
I prefer Hola -better internet this gives per app proxy & in yhe list of apps try tethering apps
you may not be able to use wifi tethering if disabled form operators side.
If you use Hola then enable unblocker, enable acceleration, then tap on unblocker see the list of apps select the country you want & Run(play) the app.
but you can try VPNs(Hotspot shield & Hola) for same & report here if it works.
Hit Thanks If i helped.

Please try this
Install the apk
Then go into Settings -> Connections -> More Networks -> Mobile Networks -> Access Point Names. Once there, press menu, and choose "Reset to default". (Make sure you have at least one apn checked after resetting defaults)
Then try Tethering. You may or may not need to reboot after resetting APNs.
Let me Know
Get Wifi tether router set interface to wlan0 then create new APN, name whatever you want, apn to fast.t-mobile.com and make sure it's set to ipv4. Set tether provisioning in build prop to false. Reboot. Enable wifi tether and try it out, should be good. I set the build prop tweaks in 3c toolbox so it should stay, tethered around 12 gigs so far with no issue.
