Disabling data connection from service provider TROUBLES

Hey guys I am sorry if this has been covered before but I can't find it. I have an unlocked euro diamond but I'm using rogers as my service provider. I have wifi at home but when im away from home I don't want the diamond to connect to rogers data connection at all but from time to time it says its on. How do I make it so that I can use the data connection when I want to manually but at the same time automatically not connect to data from rogers?

Do a search for 'no data' it will allow you to control your data connections

do a search on this forum? Nothing really comes up with what I need.

I have a euro diamond on Rogers now aswell
I find this way works to disable data connection
All Setter --> Connections ---> Connections
once you in there see if you have anything rogers related, if yes just delete that set up (you prob let the phone set it up for you when you first start up your phone in Toronto)
as long as you don't set up a connection in that tab. It will never connect to any E and G

is this something I have to plug into like active sync to see or is it in the phone. I cant find anything called allsetter, thanks so much for helping though

it's on the phone.. slider the botton menu to Settings
THen in there bottom left there is a tab that says All Settings. Hit that then once you there.. you will see Personal, System, Connections on the bottom. Tap the Connection Tap, once you there.. you should see an icon that says Connections. Hit that also.
After that it will show all your current set up data transfer network. If you see one there. Delete it then it should be ok.
If you got more problems just continue posting here, I need to head out for a bball game will come back afterwards to help if you still need

Oh actually I see it and i deleted the rogers internet in manage settings its working nice thanks! But when im out of wifi range this means i cant update at all liek weather or anything. So what I just did disabled the E and G connection but my phone radio connection to rogers still works and everything related to data will work with wifi? Thank you so much big bro!

yes correct. now you can only update if you are in a WiFi region. If you are not then you just can't update data but your phone will still work cause that is another separate setting.
Next time if you don't want data connection, remember NOT to allow the phone auto setup internet connection setting (usually after it finishes configuring the phone setting).
Glad i can help!

The thing is that yes you are right, but when my phone comes out of stand by theres a G and then it goes into wifi after 2 seconds. Do you know why? Is it using data?

displaying G or E or H is just letting you know what kind of signal the phone can pick up.. as long as the reception bars icon does not have a G or E or H or 3G beside and has an antenna sort of thing beside the bars then you are ok.
I'm assuming it turns to WiFi right away because you have WiFi on right? Turn WiFi off and tell me if the same thing happens

yes and it makes sense thanks haha im just so new to this smartphone stuff. I want to make it run faster and better with rom updates and stuff but theres so much content i don't know where to begin. I want to do it myself but I don't want to mes it up. I just gotta learn from all of you. Thanks a lot bigbro!

what do you mean by changing view option?

i was just toggling with the view options under menu when your in contacts. It wont let me back in all people or contacts unless I restart phone. All these people were moved over from rogers sim.

not sure about this. But I'm assuming it's a ROM issue.
Are you still using stock ROM? cause when i got this phone the stock ROM was VERY slow and buggy.

yes I am lol i would like to change it but im so newb. When you have time could you help me through it?

Im going to sleep and look at the tutorial/guides tmrw and ill msg u if i need help =p. GN thanks a million

well all the ROM thread under the ROM Development section has all the instruction to how to flash a new ROM. Just REMEMBER to flash a HARD-SPL before you do any ROM updates or else it will brick your phone (dead phone)
My suggestion for ROM would be the dutty one. Been using it for the last 2 months and his ROM are clearly one of the best available out there.
The link for newest dutty ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=411707
I'm using his V3.6 FINAL (you can find it on dutty's website) not the V4 on his thread, but the instruction of flashing a new ROM is exactly the same, it has step by step instructions there for you to follow or you can go here for the instructions: http://lievenvw.wordpress.com/2008/09/18/howto-flash-your-htc-diamond-or-htc-touch-pro-with-a-custom-rom/
Hope this helps

Wanting to tether my hero to Linux, HELP!

Ok. So I have an HTC Hero CDMA with Fresh ROM 1.1. I have the wifi-tether app installed, but my desktop does not have wireless. I normally use PdaNet on Windows 7, but I am now dual booting Ubuntu 9.10 with Windows 7 Ultimate. I want to USB tether my phone to either Ubuntu 9.10 or OpenSuse 1.1. I have tried the little "Sprint MNS rig" and it fails for me every time and every way. I am open to anything! I will even wipe my phone and install a new ROM if needed! I just really want to USB tether my phone to Linux! Thanks!

Unfortunatly, the USB tether app doesn't work on our Hero.
Have you tried running PDAnet in Wine?

This worked for me.

Well I used to tether my diamond to linux all the time and afaik you should be able to get it.
Look up the guide that uses the race condition(enabling sharing before connection grabs), it's on this forum.
Setup a dial up connection in KPPP or w/e your choice is. Have the connection dial #777 and fill in anything for user/pass and that may work.
Best I can think of at the moment.

ROFLMAO.
That link works for me too.
Anyhow i can't think of a laptop that has windows 7 that doesn't have wireless? whats the use having a laptop without wireless? where did you get this state of the art beast. does it have bluetooth?

Maybe you should actually read some of the things you google.
The first link talks about MNS, which he said does not work.
The second link is the same thing.
The third link is this thread.
The fourth link is also MNS.

If you're going to attempt to be a smart ass, at least read the post first instead of seeing what other people say and repeat them.
AFAIK, most desktops do not come with built in wireless cards. Seems you can pick up a small selection of motherboards from Newegg that have a/b/g, but that's about it.
I repeat however, have you tried PDAnet in Wine?

My Windows 7 desktop doesn't have wireless either.
But wireless pci cards are getting cheaper as we speak. That's an option I guess?

Hey smart ass? First off, I said DESKTOP. Secondly, Lets say I DID have a laptop with Windows 7 and no wireless, you mocking it is NOT solving my problem, which is why your post should be reported for low quality. Lastly, "whats the use having a laptop without wireless?" Isn't even a sentence. Stay off my threads. Thanks
And to the guy recommending PdaNET on Wine, No I haven't dude I am looking into it right now.

Here's something else to look into
http://code.google.com/p/azilink/

If you can get the race condition to work, the KPPP connection should work.
If not, try the VPN.

As far as using Wired Tether on 2.1, it seems it runs, the Su request goes through, the computer make the "hardware plugged in noise," but as far as getting data to transfer, nothing.
However I'm at my Mom's house, and her USB ports are all screwed up, so my tests are inconclusive.

First off. Kyle i don't think your mother would appreciate you talking to ppl like that.
Second. yes i did miss read your post. my bad
Third. the second post was funny as hell. and proves you didn't do any searching on this forum much less any other.
so please stop whining and get busy trying to figure it out. if you get stumped post your errors and commands and we'll lend a helping hand.
Third have you tried proxoid?
Also i found this link
http://blogs.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendID=409949084&blogID=446443940
its for a g1 but you should be able to make it work.
so don't post asking for somebody to figure it out for you unless you search first.

Tethering works just fine for me. It comes up as a wifi access point in network manager, and it also comes up in iwlist for an essid. im using gentoo btw
And im using the wireless tether app which comes in most custom roms to do my tethering
you can download the said app here : http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/

Wired tether(the app) doesn't work. I've tried on 1.6, 2.01 and 2.1. It's an incompatibility with our Heros it seems.
And at above poster, he said NOT wireless.

First off, My mom is dead. Died when I was six jackass.
Secondly, You must not have learned your lesson about READING THE POSTS huh? I said I have been searching since 5 A.M. for an answer but all have failed, or aren't companionable.
Lastly, I have already found that. For some reason, I can not establish a connection. It will not even pick up the fact that there is a wired connection.
P.S. Proxoid is NOT what I am looking for. It does not connect like an internet connection and I have to go through every program I want to use for the internet and change the proxy settings manually. Not only that, it lags, disconnects, and the response time is terrible.

Oh, my b. And in the 2.1 build, if you go into wireless settings and enable mobile network sharing, it comes as an interface usb0 in which you can dhcpcd it to gain internet access
I haven't tested this, but you could probably get the same usb0 interface using this app: http://code.google.com/p/android-wired-tether/

Help! No Data and wifi Error

Hello all.
Ive searched (and unless I have no idea what i'm searching for) i can't seem to find an answer. I tried forum searches, browing through hundred of pages, and maybe its just me. Brain might be exhausted but here it goes. If it has already been solved then thank you in advance.
I HAD the VZW tab currently running the 2.5 alpha CDMA. After playing with it for a while I decided to go back to stock firmware because I wanted my 3g. The weird part was after factory reset and everything my baseband is now unknown and it can't pick up a signal. When i click on wifi I just get an error message. I tried a complete going back to originial stock with no root as per (i forgot to attach the link to the thread) but i still do not have service.
Under mobile networks (where there should be an option for GSM/CDMA/AUTO, that option is not there.
The activate with Verizon option isn't available that is supposed to be above wireless and networks.
Ive done factory resets, wipes, uninstalling voodoo, tried to updated modem.bin but it keeps failling.
Any suggestions?

Okay i managed to figure out wifi. I guess my mac address changed and i was using mac filtering on my router. Didnt know that address changes. Anyways anyone know how to get data back? I feel its in my modem.bin file but it keeps failing when i uploaded one that i found from a VZW tab

same issue I have
Wow I have same issue as your. Expect it is Sprint Tab. My tab couldnt pick up a signal and i tried to reuploading Modem.bin but it fail too. Let hope we have a solution

wow would not expect the mac address to change after a flash, I know that you can make it appear different >:¬}h
Had the same issue with phone, and had to manually input the ap settings from the carrier, but that was it, sorry for stating the obvious but did you try this?

The iemi and the mac adress can be changed by flashing. The data is in the system/efs folder.

I experienced the same with my SGS (GSM), though I also changed the CSC. All that was required to solve it was to manually reenter the APs.

I guess I felt that way too because i really only filtered computers at the house and no matter how many times i formatted I always had the same MAC address. Glad that I figured that one out so I at least can use my SGT in wifi mode. Now the issue is trying to get my data back on (Verizon) since I'm paying for it. *sigh*

All WiFi profiles getting deleted periodically

My phone configuration
AT&T Note 3
Stock firmware, rooted with TowelRoot, few modifications with wanam.
Haven't changed/modified anything system level on phone other than few visual changes with Wanam Xposed
Problem
All the saved wifi profiles are getting deleted. Happened twice in last month. I do not see any reason why it happened. Today, I came to work, it connected to wifi. An hour later I saw that phone disconnected from wifi and was using mobile data. I went to wifi setting to find that all the saved wifi profiles were deleted. (It only showed one saved profile "attwifi" profile which I think is the default comes with the phone). Now I have to save all wifi profiles again for work, home, friends' homes etc.
Solution
This is where you come in the picture.
Has any one of you seen something similar?
Is it a known issue?
Can this be related to Google "Sync App Data"? Is Google syncing empty wifi profiles for some reason?
Do you guys know solution/workaround for this?
(I will update the solution section when there is a solution available, so all future readers don't have to pile through pages of comments to find the right solution)

Bumping

I've been having this issue. It's a PITA!
I am not rooted.

I assume this issue is very rare and only few of us are seeing it. That's why nobody is replying to this thread. A quick google search found a lot of similar forums but no solution

It's not particularly rare- in fact I have a different but similar situation: my phone will not discover new SSID's, thus cannot connect to them.
You'll find this website isn't always helpful; this thread has had hundreds of views, yet no responses.
Tis just tough luck

I have this problem too. Not only losing l the Wifi but also all my personal settings, such as sounds in unlocking, typing etc. Drives. Me mad
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using XDA Free mobile app

Mine does the exact same thing as yours. Every couple of weeks or so all of my wifi networks just disappear. I've tried googling with no success. I just can't seem to find an answer either. I even have general/backup and reset/backup my data unchecked. My Note3 did this both when I was unrooted and now that I am rooted. It is a real pain.

Well, lets hope that someone will have a fix for that in the future. The WiFi profiles are getting wiped like once a month so its not very annoying but I hope it doesn't wipe my SD card or my personal data.
I have unchecked the Google backup for now, lets see if it fixes the issue.

@K-Alzwayed has a great thread going with a bunch of fixes it looks like #2 in his thread might fix this, you might want to check it out and see if that works for you
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2793441
For a workaround (needs root), try saving a copy of the wifi configuration file and then the next time you lose your settings overwrite the file with the backup version
Code:
/data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf

Stuck on Checking for Update after a hard reset

Hi, this is my first time making a thread and I'm not sure if this fits into the right category, anyways I've had to a factory rest since I forgot my pattern password on my Note 9 (because I'm an idiot) and now after the hard reset I am now stuck on "Checking for Updates" after the rebooting the phone and there is no skip button and I have tried doing another hard reset to still being stuck on the same page. I've let this "Checking for updates" run for about 2 hours to only get a message saying "Taking to long? Try going back and connecting to a different network" and I'm really out of options, any help would be appciated.
Thanks.

Do you have Internet access and sufficient bandwidth where you connected to?

Well I'm currently overseas over at China with very slow internet also not sure about the Mbps since its to slow to run that and I have to use Vpn since China blocks out YouTube, Google etc. so I'm not sure if that's that cause.
*edit* I've managed to run an internet Speed test with an average Mbps download of 0.30 Mbps and upload of 2 Mbps, not sure if that's any useful but hopefully it is

yeah I think it should so you should be good

I have an identical issue, on my note 8, and i am also in China. wondering if there was any solution found?
I suspect the problem might be because china blocks Google services and the phone is trying to connect to google.
Please if a solution was found, do share.

I assume you've all tried setting up without a sim and wifi disconnected? Works fine for me, it just skips the update checking on initial setup as there's no connection.

I've had the exact same problem on my galaxy s8 and had excellent wifi connection when I tried to get it going after the reset (but still tried to do it with two other connections). I removed the simcard, disconnected the wifi and it just skipped that step (looking for updates). Now the phone is working good!
(still scared that the virus hatched on once again since I didn't wipe my SDcard and put it in again (stupid). But I'm always a bit paranoid and I'm not sure it works that way)
Fixed the problem anyways. Just remove simcard and disconnect wifi.

Try setting up a wifi router with a VPN that allows you to connect to Google services. Then connect to wifi (ran through vpn) and you should be good.

I was thinking the same thing, just need to get a router with VPN, thx for the advice.

hi, my note has done the same thing, I did a factory reset... need to be able to stop the checking for updates somehow?
or find someone with a modem with a VPN instilled on it. any ideas
?

This is how to fix the problem if overseas
number one If you have hard reset your phone, and then realised I need that VPN to go online like myself in China.
turn off the WIFI on your phone, remove your sim card turn off the phone. turn your phone back on and you can set up the phone again, turn on the phones wifi and re-back up your phone from your Samsung account.
the reason why you should use Google and Samsung to back up all your things is for this reason. you don't need a VPN for Samsung.
this should work on all phones.
mine phone is a Samsung note 9 with android 9 operation system, 8gb -512gb
thanks:good:
