Block Data Network, Wifi Only?

Hey guys, I have the ATT 8525 with no data plan. I would like to know if there is a way to block my phone from accessing the ATT data network. If I want to use the internet and so forth I will do it over wifi, I just want to make sure my phone won't access the ATT data network by accident.
Thanks!

Just call Customer Service and tell them you want to request WIX Blocked.

I believe MoDaCo's NoData will do the trick..
Shuts down the data connection but wifi is still available. Made for people going overseas and such without an international data plan.
I'll post it here when I find it...
edit: attached!!

Thanks buddy.. I was also looking for something similiar.
I have a question for you!!
My problem was almost the same. I have my MMS settings and when I activate that in the Connections tab as the connection to connect to the internet inorder to receive or send MMS, then if I try to access my inbox it checks through the data connection eventhough my WiFi is active...
So will the cab file that was posted here blocks the MMS?
Thanks

yes it stops your phone from acessing any grps or edge networks. i personally just removed the grps account settngs

Unless your provider has some redirect to email feature or whatever, MMS can't be transferred via internet. They need a direct connection to the provider's servers.

Permanently Disable Data Connection?

My AT&T plan for my SMT5600 has free picture and video sending, but no data plan. My first question is, does MMS use a data connection such as GPRS? If it doesn't, how can I disable the GPRS so I don't accidently connect? If MMS does use a GPRS connection, how can I disable GPRS for IE Pocket but keep it enabled for MMS? Short and sweet, I don't want any data charges on my bill. Thanks!

wifi instead of 3G gprs

When i'm home i've connected my HD2 to wifi. When i'm using programs who use a dataconnection (f.i. opera) how do i make sure these programs use wifi first if available and use 3G GPRS when there's no wifi connection available?
Thanks

Simple, make sure that data connection is off when you are at home, turn wifi on, login to your router at home and you can be sure that all apps are going to use wifi instead of data connection over 3G.
When your data connection over 3G is off and you start any app which requires (let me call this) `data transfer` - your data connection over 3G will turn itself on (3G has higher priority than Wifi and has been set-up as default).
From other point of view - when you turn on any data connection (over WiFi or 3G) and than lets say Opera, Opera will work under this particular connection. Example : You turned data connection over 3G on, than Opera, than Wifi. Turn 3G off and try to do any action with Opera (ex. link click, whatever which requires transfer of data) you will see data connection over 3G turning itself on again (even if there is Wifi still available).

Thanks for yor answer. Is it possible to change the priorities with a registry adjustment?

You only need MoDaCo NoData.
You can easily turn off every data connection with it. WiFi stays on tho.
I always use that tool when i dont want data conn to be on.

Auto turn off data connection

Hi All,
I have a HTC TD2
I am wondering if there is a way to set up auto turn off data connection after x mins of not using data connection? then when launch application that requires data connection, it will automatically connect?
my data connection is 3g.
Thanks!

Try this ap, I haven't used it as I have unlimited data but it should do what you want.

[Q] There is no internet after switching off than on data connection

Hello..
Question... So if i will switch off data connection in settings, and than switch on back - the internet connection will not appear again.
APN added, all working fine if i will re-add APN. But nothing happens if i will turn off/turn on data connection.
It's crazy - change every time when i need APN, to use internet...
There is any solution, what i should do?
Thanks
