I don't know about you guys, but I've used the EDGE always on tweak and when I browse it wont use WIFI, it uses EDGE, even when I dont want it to. Anyone know what I could do to reverse this? I forgot the tweak for EDGE always on, I'd like to cut it off.
Thanks.
Try this link, it should have the tweak you're looking for.

i just got the data plan (i got it for free until the 20th) and i really like it...i've relied on wifi throught all my ppc's and it's served well, but it sux being in an area not finding an unsecured connection...anyways, does anybody know how i can keepw wifi alive when i turn my display off? that's wat i love about the data plan, it keeps the internet on EVEN when the display is OFF...i couldn't get this to work on my 8125 and now not on my 8525..can anybody please help me fix this!!? thnx
anybody?.....
Didn't I reply to this already? Was it in another subforum?
EDIT: Oh yeah now I remember... your the guy that made way too many posts over in the cingular forums... did you get banned?
Don't forget to look at what I posted already about the keep internet sharing on and wifi... have a look around.
And also you can dupe ATT and get the MediaMax plan for 20 bucks if your willing to only use wap.cingular. saved me a ton of money
EDIT#2: yeah here's the other thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=341930
uhhh i never read that other post...maybe if you had better directions (or didn't even that answer the question at all) that woulda been better....no need for being stupid now buddy

found that, looks useless smart one..thnx for trying to be a genious tho
wow... you read all of that in 3 minutes? you're the genius here!
i said i saw it befor smart guy...and thnx for the compliments
Ok. I feel better. Guess we got off on the wrong foot.
What I am trying to say is that it might be possible to use the mortscript program to keep the wifi from going into standby:
"Share&KeepSharingViaUSB.mscr" Mortscript
This script is included in the attached .zip file To use this script you must first download and install MortScript from here:
http://www.sto-helit.de/index.php?mo...=view&entry=65
or here:
http://www.pocketpcfreewares.com/en/index.php?soft=1448
This is an adaptation of Xiou's Share&KeepSharing script.
It turns off Wifi radio, starts hacked version of Internet Sharing app, connects and turns WiFi radio on. Once one valid connection has been made, reconnects if Internet Sharing enabled status status changes to disabled (ie. a disconnect occurs). Also, keeps device from going into standby mode, to prevent loss of WiFi connectivity.
It's heavily documented so it should be fairly easy to view, modify and understand by looking at it in a text editor.
.....
So, it might, and I stress might, be possible to use this to keep your phone in a constant state of wifi. However you might not be able to put your phone to sleep.
It applies to internet sharing but could be applicable to your problem.
It might be a hardware issue where the wifi chipset is forced into disconnecting while sleeping.
Seems like when the HTC guys engineered this that they knew the wifi would kill the battery life so they hardwired it to disconnect when put into standby.
It looks like it's not easily done (looking here and at cingular forums). Perhaps the guy at cingy that said to untick the auto disconnect might have a lead.
However I am a genius, but only at the minimum IQ score..
Good Luck
lol kk, thnx for ur help but i think i'm convinced that i shouldn't keep it on as it does seem to waste battery power..thnx for ur help and srry for acting a bit off
just wanted to thank intrglctcrevfnk for the tip about the mediamax bundle. Just added that 19.99 plan to my account, configuered the phone and now have unlimited access.
has anybody got this problems before!? it would just randomly connect to Edge even if i turn it off, it will be back on it again after some time
is this normal? i dont have a data plan so it worries me a bit.
I believe what you are seeing is the indicator that shows when you are in an Edge coverage area - similar to your bars that indicate signal strength for making calls (that are there even if you are not making a call). As long as you don't use any data you will not be charged for any.

What appz do you have installed? I personally had forgot to tutrn off the 'auto-update' feature on GooSync before and it auto-conected to edge (or attempted to anyways) on it's own. I believe you may have a similar issue with a app trying to phone-home or something of the like. . . . .
The good thing is, if that is the case, it's not going actually get to connect to anything (typically speaking) so chances are great you've nothing to worry about.
I don't have a data plan either, you can prevent your phone from connecting to edge/3g by installing this .cab file
"MoDaCo_NoData-SNE.CAB"
Here is a direct link to download it. After you place the file on your phone, use file explorer to open and install it. It's very simple.

Thank you everyone for your Quick and prompt reply.
I figured it out! it was my Email Account i had setup in my Wing, All i had to do is disable the Auto Send/Receive feature. For some reason after the phone connects to the edge network to check for emails it wouldn't or couldn't disconnect itself...
HI.
My dad would like to buy a G1, but want to use his old handy contract.
There, he is able to make phone calls and write sms, but he will be charged for every kb he is using to surf the web.
This is fine for him. But how can i manage, that the G1 is not "talking" to the internetall the time. Is there any hack or app to disabel data usage? Officially, you can only say, use 2G instead of 3G. But i would like to only use wifi where it is possible and the rest of the time he would like to be offline.
Maybe you have a hint for me how to manage this.
Thanks
Delete all APNs and there you go - no data. Only when on "wifi mode"
but he wants to be able to send sms and make phone calls
changing all the apns really wont help him
i dont really think you can do anything but get a data plan
because the g1 sync with your google account
even on edge you need some sort of data plan so your phone can talk to the google servers and download updates to your contacts or calendar changes (if hes going use all that)
i think there is a different way
in the market there is an app called wisync (chk spelling)
and it synce when you are connected to a wifi connection
so i guess you could get a regular plan without data and have someone else activate the phone for you (With your dads email) and then insert your dads chip into the phone and then turn on wisync and let it sync up. the in the settings put "use only 2g networks"
hope this helps a little
Phone calls + sms have nothing to do with APNs. APNs are used only for DATA connection (MMS too), but not used for voice(except VOIP). You can delete them all and still use the "phone" as "phone" so to speak
What I would recommend for your dad is to download APNdroid which enables you to enable the dataconnection when you need it. This way you can enable or disable data connectivity whenever he wants to.

You might want to check out WiSyncPlus. It can control your APNs, has a scheduler to allow automated net access, has far more features and APNdroid+WiSync, and can drastically improve battery life. Click on the graph to zoom in. Its available on the market.
Hey guys. I have an HTC Fuze and I wish to disable ALL data features of this thing except for WiFi. Reason being, everywhere I normally am, I have access to WiFi. I also don't want to pay extra for a data plan. Everything I need to do can be done via WiFi.
I've also found that the phone keeps trying to connect to the data connection and is really eating my battery for breakfast. I've clocked it's average lifespan to around 16-20 hours or so. Is that even normal?!
So my question is this:
How do I disable Edge, GPRS, and 3G all in one fell swoop? I have ATT by the way.
Thanks!
settings->connections->connections->advanced-select network
choose the non isp settings in the dropdownbox's then your phone will fail
to make any sort of data connection
unless you got wifi or bluetooth or usb connection to a pc
I do it that way because I only pay for usage both talk/sms and data and is a bit of a cheapskate

I wanted the same thing and this little utility worked great for me:
http://www.modaco.com/content/pocket-pc-software/246171/new-free-utility-nodata
I am in the same boat, ATT with no data service. If you go to the store and tell them what you want they can block data to your phone. I think it is called "wix block" or something similar. The only downside is it blocks MMS as well.
Friend of mine just got the Vibrant from Bell,
Has anyone had luck using the front camera with Fring? I read in an update that Fring supports the FFC on the Galaxy S (presuming its the UK one they're talking about, dont know if that would matter though). Hes trying to use Fring on the Vibrant and cant seem to find an option to switch the camera to the front one.
Also, is there a way to turn off data completely? Dont have a data plan but would still like to use Wifi. I cant seem to find it in settings. Help please!
Friends phone doesnt seem to have any GPS problems that have been mentioned!
I'm not sure about the front camera, haven't tested it but the way I turn off data is by using the 'Extended controls' widget from the market. Either that or mess around with the APN settings.
Will try that. Thanks!

I go to settings > wireless & network > 3G data call settings (bottom option). if you have it, you can set it to there.
I use the prog APNdroid to toggle data... Works great as I cross over borders and dont wanna incurr roaming data charges.

+1 for APNdroid.
Just simply add the widget and you can turn on/off 3G data with one click.
What I miss from the stock Bell firmware is the ability to toggle GSM/WCDMA mode manually.
GSM won't work at all on Bell's network, but I spend a fair amount of time in the US, and a fair amount of that time out in the boonies where there is no 3G US coverage. Leaving it on just burns battery like crazy when it's looking for a signal, when it could just drop down to GSM/EDGE and sip juice.
Int'l firmware solves that problem, but IMHO the JG9 firmware on the Bell Vibrant is pretty damned solid. GPS locks faster on it than it did when I was running JM2 or JP3, and no little odd bugs like dropped WiFi, etc.
Tough call for me, but after weeks of experimenting with my Captivate and now my Vibrant, I'm pretty much ready to stay stock and wait for official Froyo.
Personally, i use a widhet call "Toggle Data" and it works like a charm. I'm with bell also.

Ok so I found this old thread. Just got my Bell Vibrant and got it unlocked to use with Rogers. Are there any new apps or method to switch from 3G to 2G or just allow me to view and change which mode I'm currently at? This will save battery.
Does the phone auto adjust to whichever mode (2G or 3G) it detects?
