how to disable GPRS

Any way to disable gprs in the handset. Some of my applications are using gprs for updating and my service provider is charging me like anything. I have wifi and want to use that alone for data... is there a setting somewhere which will help me in disabling GPRS
i tried the nodata ( nogprs) application but its not working for me

Do you need GPRS at all? If not, go to Settings->Connections->Connections->Manage existing and delete everything.

Setting > Connection and select "my work network" as internet connection instead of your provider's one.
You can change it back anytime you need to really use GPRS

In the registry you’ve got the following key:
HKLM\Comm\ConnMgr\Providers\{7C4B7A38-5FF7-4bc1-80F6-5DA7870BB1AA}\Connections
Export this key to enable GPRS later on.
Go inside your data connections and you’ll find a key, “Enabled." This key has a value 1, change this for every connection to 0.
There, you're done.

You could try to go to the Comm Manager and disabling "Phone" and activating Wi-Fi.
Hope this helps!

Try the Moto Toggle Widget on the market. Requires root, but works

How to disable GPRS connection failure notification?

I have asked my phone company to disable my GPRS access already and I have a wireless router to use Wi-Fi. However, I must admit that the constant attempts by Windows Mobile to connect my GPRS which always result in a failure notification is rather annoying.
Is there a method to disable these notifications?

Reg edit
There's a registry edit that will disable the automatic connection, or if you have advanced configuration tool you can do it there. If you don't have advanced configuration tool you can download it here.

I use pre-pay, and as the data charges are high, I only use wifi. I use an app called nodata. It lists your GPRS connections, and allows you to disable them so that they won't be used. I got this app from crc's device update, but I'm sure you could find it easily.

Oh, I recently upgraded my phone's OS to Schap's WM6 Pro, so it came with the OS. I did as you asked (disabled the auto-attached for GPRS), but unfortunately, it didn't seem to work as it continued attempting to connect, and the notification still appeared.
Thank you to you for responding. I appreciate the help!

You mean MoDaCo NoData? Oh yes, I installed the app, and used it to toggle the GPRS off, and you're right. It worked perfectly and the message does not appear to be coming up anymore! Thank you so much for you help!

[Q] Simple software to automatically disable GPRS/UMTS data while roaming?

Hi out there,
searching for a while now. Found nothing, but CommMgrPro which is way to much.
I search for a simple software to automatically disable GPRS/UMTS data while roaming and enable it back when logged into my provider again.
Would be nice to have more than one "home" provider.
Any hints? Thanks and happy holidays.

the simplest way is change your mobile while roaming
i was surprised that my htc touchpro activate
data communication automatically while i
had disactivated data com before.

Modaco NoData

Thanks. At least a simple way to enable and disable.
My problem is that i live close to the boarder (germany/france) and that i flip into roaming here really fast.
An automatic solution is needed very urgend.
Locking to my provider is ok, but the htc asks me what provider to join, when back.
All that sucks.
I cant believe that there is no solution.
Is CommMgrPro able to handle that?

Nobody?
Nobody else who got this problem and nobody who got a solution?
Is CommMgrPro able to handle that? The documentation is bad.

Maybe you can PM danielherrero.
He's the creator of CommMgrPro.

I am very interested in this as well - and from my searching seems a lot of others would be interested in an automated system.
My network provider automatically roams to another specific provider when in a non-coverage area (small pockets within metro areas and rural). The problem is that the data cost when roaming is ridiculous. I use Push Email for work and while on roaming want GPRS access to be disabled until I am connected back with my provider.
I've installed NoData by MoDaCo which is good but this requires the user to remember to enable/disable GPRS.
*EDIT*
I found exactly what I needed after a more searching - Wombat's PhoneRoam Script (Stay Connected to High Speed Networks Only). Will see whether it does the job

I agree to have more that only one network provider. Here in Belgium we can subscribe to Vodafone passport that enable to use "free" of charge the data on any Vodafone network, but when I go in France it switch to other provider and in that case my push mail is expensive... I'm also in the boarder of France.
So basicaly :
1/ A very very simple prg that disable the data automatically if roaming.
2/ A version 2 that would put all permited network provider even if roaming.
Thanks

This thing exists for the iPhone. Its a simple switch in the interface.
You can select "Data-Roaming" on/off, thats all.
Where is it in WM?

Because Apple is looking this forum (like MS) to know required features and this one is in the back log.

Modaco is fine but when you are at the border is quite difficult to follow your carrier and disable data time by time...or even remember you are switching to another country after few km and you always have one app trying to connect (Tomtom, weather, opening a mail...)
Modaco it's what I use actually but let me forget stressing an unwanted roaming data connection...
a+

Used NoData and application is still able to connect...
Hi,
I switched off all data connections in the registry (using frost Advanced Config, than also tried NoData) and in general windows mobile apps aren't able to connect... but I have a one third party application, which is somehow able to ignore that and connect even when the data connection is toggled to DISABLED...
Any ideas how to REALLY disable data connections (for roaming)...

here is the automatic solution http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=503131
this will automatically disable ALL data in roaming and re-enable under home provider without any user configuration - nothing to toggle

Internet On-Off

when i'm outside of the Netherlands I don't want my internet to connect.
Is this possible to shut off the internet?

Install attached file then run to toggle both settings and switch internet on or off.

Or you could use BsB tweak to disable data connections...

Both work
Both work like a charm!
Thankss from me and my phone-bill!
Timo

By default application sees you are roaming and don't download anything automatically. (browsers are not blocked, but, it's not automatic download.) As soon you have Wifi connection working, they'll download info. Almost every application let you choose if you want to download when roaming.

Dataconnection

Is there a way to ONLY set my dataconnection for MMS, but NOT for everything else? because I pay a lot when it's on.. my HD2 uses the dataconnection for everything, but I only want my WLan for apps. And for MMS data.

yes actually
try this:
http://www.modaco.com/content/pocket-pc-software/246171/new-free-utility-nodata/
I havent tested it working on hd2 but I used it on my old omnia and it worked flawlessly.
(you could also just remove the internet settings but not the mms settings, they are stored seperately, but this will remove your ability to connect to the net in the future if you need to.)

great I will try it this evening thanks
edit: won't this stop my entire dataconnection (included mms?)
found sth else: will try this tonight: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=datacontroller+cab

no, nodata allows you to specify which data connection is enabled and which is enabled, mms and internet use different connections so they appear seperately in the list to enable/disable.

this is what I'm looking for:
-dataconnection for MMS
-WLan for internet use of my installed programs, browsers etc.
Not sure now you make me doubt.
