I use Tasker to turn off Mobile Data and turn on Location for various profiles.
What's throwing Tasker of is that turning OFF Mobile Data requires a confirmation on a popup, as does turning ON Location.
Is there a way to disable the pop ups for these two services? If anyone has a clue, I'm all ears and I thank you!

Recently, even with "background data" disabled, my Nexus One randomly use EDGE data while it sleeps. This become the problem since when there is ongoing data transfer, I won't be able to receive calls. I didn't notice this until my friends told me that they couldn't reach me.
Is there an app or an option in Android/Nexus One that I can completely turn off mobile data access until needed? I tried APNDroid, but after I turn it back on, mobile data access won't be available until the phone is rebooted.
You can't use data and voice calls at the same time? That's strange. What carrier are you using?
I'm not actually sure if there is an easy way to turn data on and off completely, but you might be able to turn syncing off and then go through all of your applications and make sure they don't automatically update or stay logged in like g-chat. I think disabling syncing only has an effect on the stuff listed under Accounts & sync settings in the Settings menu, (Google and Facebook on the stock ROM).
I'm on T-Mo.
When you're on GSM network, unless BOTH carrier & handset supports some special feature (don't remember the name), concurrent voice/data is impossible. To date, I've only seen one Nokia phone supports the feature.
<rant>
Going through every single app to make sure that it doesn't use data is a pita and not guarantee that no data will be used.
Since N1 WCDMA reception is crappy, I have to rely on GSM quite a bit. Since day 1, I had background data & auto sync disabled (only enabled when needed). --- For some reason, "background data" seems to apply to system/google-related app, but doesn't apply to 3rd-party app.
This sucks big time since it is phone first, computer second, so it kind of annoy me that background GSM data prevents me from receiving calls.

I found a way to completely disable/enable mobile data access on N1. It's a bit clumsy, but it works.
Go go Phone, dial "*#*#4636#*#*" to get into N1 Testing app.
Tap "Phone Information"
Tap menu -> more -> "Disable data connection"
Tap menu -> more -> "Disable data on boot" (just to make sure it's not enabled after you reboot the phone)
then... "GSM disconnects" should read "State: inactive ...... fail because No Error"
Some would suggest changing APN name manually or using widgets. But according to Testing app, you will still be connected to data network. Connection attempts will be made over mobile data network, but they won't go through. This doesn't guarantee 100% no data requirement. It just prevents you from hopping on the internet.
Seems like a lot of work to turn off data I agree. I'm just lucky I'm on a carrier that uses another carrier's net so it's roaming all the time. All I have to do is disable "data roaming" and data is off.
Toggle data is what i'm using - it's a free widget button to turn 3G (mms optional) on and off just like the Power widget. I've also seen another widget with a different name, but that was a black button and Toggle data is white.
Thanks. This seems to have the same effect as disabling data via Testing app.

I'm having a problem with the STAMINA mode basic functionally, which is turning off the mobile data when the screen is off. It worked in the beginning but now it just doesn't do what it's supposed to.
I've tried many solutions such as resetting the Eco mode Controller, turning off anything that might keep the connection awake, freezing programs using Titanium Backup, but nothing works. Any suggestions?
Thanks
I don't think that Stamina Mode is supposed to turn off mobile data connection anyway - it only kills the apps you didn't white-list.
It doesn't turn off mobile data, but restricts every blacklisted app from using it. So if all apps are blacklisted it will be the same as turning data off cos there should be no activity.
My 2ยข
Stamina Mode turns off data even if there's a white-listed app that would use it, eg Whatsapp.
I can personally confirm this: Stamina mode on, Whatsapp + Gmail white-listed=3G turns off after a few minutes of inactivity.
That shouldn't happen - the idea of whitelisted apps is that you'll still get their notifications. How can Gmail and WhatsApp receive new messages and notify you if your 3G is off?
Hang on - is this when you're connected to WiFI or not? If not, how do your whitelisted apps manage to work?
My stamina mode does not exhibit behaviors of turning off mobile data, I thought it shouldn't anyway. Whitelisted applications will be able to receive messages over mobile internet without issues for mine.
My old LG phone had this option but I can't find it in this. On the Bixby routines app it allows me to have it enable wifi when I get home but won't let me set it up to disable it when I leave the house.

Not exactly what you want, but turn on developer mode and enable Wi-Fi power saving mode may help.
Get IFTTT app - you can do that & tons of other cool automatic tasks. Even turning it on when you get home.

Hi, is this a safe app,ifttt?
Hope it doesn't have any adverse effect on the battery.
Thanks
Actually you can turn off Wi-Fi in Bixby routines.
Go to a routine, edit, in "then" select add or plus, Wi-Fi, select "on" or "off".
You can set it up upon leaving "X" location, turn off Wi-Fi or you can do it by a specific time to turn it off

I don't see the option to set it up for leaving X location?

If you set a routine to activate wifi in a location, leaving that location will disable wifi
Hey..
I have setup a project to system lock phone (deactivate fingerprint login etc.) if it looses connection to mobile networks. This is extra safety for my in the event someone gets hold of it.
To accomplish this I've setup a profile with the state 'Mobile Network', selected all network modes and used the 'any' trigger and inverted to make trigger whenever the state have no mobile networks. This is tested and works but..
.. whenever WIFI is on it doesn't trigger. If you disable WIFI or it looses WIFI connection it triggers.
Is this bad behavior or am I missing something?
The project in whole still works since an active WIFI connection would give me access to my phone and therefore a system lock is only needed in the event I cant reach it, ie. no WIFI and mobile data.
Thank you.
I would like to have my mobile data always on on my Android.
Is there a way of forcing it permanently on?
What I need is a situation where even if the user of the phone switches the data off, it quickly switches itself back on or just refuses to switch off.
Or if there is a third party app i can use to force data on i would appreciate.
You can find this setting in the developer settings. No need for root
The one in developer mode is one that keeps Mobile data on even when WiFi is on.
But what I need is a situation where even if the data on/off toggle in settings is switched off, it would automatically switch itself on or just refuse to switch off.
Try working around a bixby routine
