Completely disable service provider's data connection?

How can i completely disallow a data connection apart from regular phone calls? im running ROMeOS 2.2 at the moment, with fring (which is set to ONLY wifi) but fring also is enabling the tmobile edge and then when i delete the edge settings on the phone it goes to the "Tmobile Wmodem Link" thing, which i dont want. can someone help?

Try creating a connection setting with no APN set.

Or simply use Modaco NoData... Google it, it's free!
It's basically a toggle to activate/deactivate data connections.
I use it to avoid roaming data costs!

wow, just what i needed, thank you!!

No problem, glad I could help!

you can tell your service provider and tell them to stop ANY data connection, ATT does that, now even if I use PIE to open google ( without activating wifi) or start fring, it shows there is no data connection available.
Also if ur using fring, u can set the rule for it to connect only through wifi.

Im not sure if tmobile will do that, as all everyone wants it money. Anyways, yes as i stated in the first post, i had set it to "wifi only" yet the phone still connected through data if the wifi connection failed.
But problem is solved.

thanks for the info just what i needed

Setting up the internet...

Ok im confused do i get the Hotspot or the BlackBerry Unlimited Add-on for my tilt phone to get the internet to work

Well, since XDA-Developers is NOT your wireless provider, you might want to search.
1.Do you have the feature added to your account?
2.what rom are you using
3.did you search the forum

Bear in mind that each network calls their service something different, what you really want to be asking (I think, based upon your statement) is do I select wifi or GPRS/3g/HSDPA. Wifi (hotspot) coverage isnt really going to help you unless you only want internet connection in certain places.
GPRS/3G/HSDPA is for mobile internet browsing/email retrieval etc, and thats probably more along the lines of what you want.

3G mobile hotspot

alright i know i got this somewhere on another forum and found it to be a great way to wifi tether out of the box with out root
on the phone do ##778 goto edit mode enter 000000 then into the security settings change the S.IP DUN User name to [email protected] and back out of there to the M.IP Default Profile and change your DUN NAI to [email protected] hit menu and hit Commit Modifications.
I have tested and verified this works 100% with no problems.
Granted to have the 3g mobile hot spot option you need to have loaded the leaked OTA but i see this would also work when 2.2 is released!
Also sorry if this is in the wrong area and please feel free to move it where it belongs.

I am just using the wifi tether app from the market place.. I am scared if I am using the VZW app I will get hit with charges.

make no mistake im using the wifi tether app too but this is an alternative as this also gives you a widget option for turning on and off.

Sweet has anyone confirmed no charges or crazy letters from VZW??

One thing I did notice is that this method uses infrastructure as opposed to the ad-hoc mode of wireless tether.

well thats some good news then

the method which you described is on xda some place, the thread was started right near the time the phone came out in late april. it also doesnt not require root, but it is a usb tether not wifi tether. i dont believe you can do wifi tether without root

I believe this will work without root. You just need to apply the leaked OTA and make the appropriate changes in the first post. I'm not able to verify that since I'm rooted.

i cant get my laptop to get the ip address. i was able to connect to the mobile hot spot but cannot get the ip address. i tried, wep, wpa and no key. Any ideas???
thanks

have you tried repairing on your computer and also verifiying your TCP/IP settings on your laptop that its set to accept DHCP and not be static

[email protected] is the username that your phone uses to connect to the internet, and [email protected] is what Mobile Broadband Connect and the 3G Mobile Hot Spot uses to connect.
Unless you're using obscene amounts of data you shouldn't be caught. This is doing exactly the same thing that the Wifi Tethering app and PDANet does, though I can certainly understand why you'd be scared.

it works fine with wireless tether. same laptop same settings

Does anyone know if this works (with the appropriate @xxx.com) for sprint phones like the hero or the evo 4g? Couldn't find anything in their forums.
Thanks and sorry for the wrong phone section post.

I would imagine if u looked at their settings that it should work, but thats a SHOULD only way to know is to give it a shot and if it doesnt then you need to remember what the settings were prior.

Guys, be careful with this - I used to do this with my VX8300 back in the day and although it worked great, I eventually did get a letter from VZW saying to stop or they would terminate my contract, and I didnt even use it that much.
Just a heads up...

O'RLY?
I've used this for long time from the Vogue to Imagio and now DINC, nothing happened...
Did you tether to P2P? Downloading bunch of stuff? If so, you're sticking out like a sore thumb...

Yeah wonder how they would find out. It's the same exact internet connection that your phone uses. You're just "sharing" it with other devices. How would Verizon be able to tell if you're using that same internet but on a different device? Assuming of course that you aren't using it for online gaming or torrents or other bandwidth intensive applications.

The VX8300 didn't have much of a browser. I imagine if you ever did much of anything on there and didn't have a tethering plan then it would look suspicious.

[Q] What is dataroaming?

Greetings,
Listen I was wondering do I have to enable dataroaming everytime I want to go to internet? And what is actually dataroaming? Cant I just go to internet if I want without enabling?

Data Roaming means using data outside of your country (traditionally) or outside your cell phone providers region. No, you don't have to enable data roaming to use data\go on the internet (unless you ARE roaming).

I have to use my roaming to ex go to google.com on my browser

internet without verizon or wifi

is there a way to get the net on the revolution without being on Verizon's network? is there anything I can do? I have Verizon's prepaid service.

One cannot simply make internet access out of thin air; you must EITHER use Verizon or Wifi with this phone. You could try things that tether through wifi, like a Mifi or another phone, but this probably isn't the type of solution you want.
