No GPRS on roaming

Goodevening,
I am searching for a tool which turns the gprs automatic off when i am in an other country, so when i'm on a roaming network.
Is there a tool for this purpose or can i regulate this with an registery edit..
Maybe developing a tool for this is a good idea, because i think it would be a very handy tol for anyone who do not want such high gprs costs.
Thanks in advance
Ghozd

No one??

I already asked at some other places, still no success. I would be very glad if someone could give me an impulse or even the answer

Want that tool also :wink:
There are lots of tools for turning on/off bluetooth, wireless and even radio, but for GPRS there isnt (besides a change in the registry)

Can use "AdvancedConfig" tool to disable data connections.
A bit inconvenient, as You have to manually disable when going abroad and manually enable when returning to home country (would have been nice to have it done automatically) but it does the trick AND saves the extra roaming charges

That will work, but why not just save the hassle and not use your data connection whilst roaming?
Any time i've used my data connection it's been a conscious effort, such as checking email or browsing the web.

How to force data connection off but retain data

I have a data plan and many programs that set to auto connect. But is there a way that I can force the data not connect?
I am worried about when I am roaming in other countries the roaming data fees are too high so I want to shut if off but keep the voice on.

Sure. You could simply go to Start Menu - Settings - Connections - Connections and delete your existing settings. Probably a really good idea to write them down first if you don't have them!
If your phone has WiFi you can still connect that way when you are in a hotspot and check email etc. I think the only thing that doesn't work over WiFi might be Exchange ActiveSync. If you don't use Exchange even that will not be an issue.
If your phone was provided by your cellular carrier it is possible the settings could possibly be hard to delete. In that case, try making additional dummy settings which you know cannot work (if you are not sure what to put base them on some jumbled up version of what you had before that cannot work) then make the dummy settings the default choice.
If you need more info post your carrier and the phone you have and we can try to give more specific advice.

You can use an app called Modaco NoData which gives you the options to enable or disable the different connections that you have on your phone (edge, mms, etc) I use it and it's great!

WTF!!! Crazy data connection!

I have disabled the connection before, but now i can change the password, delete anything and whatnot and the fone will still FORCE connect itself to the data connection, which is gonna cost me big $$. This only happens once I open up opera/pie/google maps though.
right now my connection is basically:
Name:blahhhh
number:#97f399gg
username:sefse
password:hhhhh
domain*:xxxxxdaaa
i have tried everything, even completly deleting all the accounts.
what seems to happen is that the password goes for 5 digits to 16 somehow.
idk if that is back to what it is supposed to be with the #777 connection.
Using 3.0.1 custom DCD Rom, with opera, n some other bs programs
Anyhelp on how to stop this is appreciated

Google Maps and other apps that require data will automatically start a data connection if you initiate them.
If you turn on WiFi this should stop it because you are using another way of connecting.
Do you use your data plan from your carrier? If not you can always go to the EPST settings and disable EVDO and just use 1X. This will kill all data and just let you use the CDMA settings.

Okkkkk
I was able to attempt to activate them before and would just get an error, expectially with PIE, but now idk.
No i do not have the data plan, and im about 2-3MB into data which sucks. Im supposed to have a data block but i guess not.
To kill the EVDO settings, what would that be under?
( making the data parameters section blank did not work)
Also if i do this will i still be able to connect to Rev-A and whatnot?
[obv not do EVDO or able to send mms, but those two i can live without]

You dont neccessaraly kill EVDO all you are doing is only letting your phone see a CDMA signal. Like for making calls and such. This will iliminate EVDO / REV A , but it is simple to go back. Plus i learned that it gave me way better coverage signal, but with no ability to use data.

Completely disable 3g data connections forever, save wifi
This is my first contribution to xda-forums! I'm glad I can help at all when I've benefitted so much... Thanks to all!
NOTE: After the following steps, Modaco's Nodata doesn't even register that a data connection exists! For this reason, if you occasionally use 3g, you probably will want to use Nodata, and NOT the following solution. You just might have to open Nodata and disable the data connection every time you soft-reset.
I was finally able to completely 100% block the 3g data connection on my Verizon XV6800 (aka Mogul aka Titan) was the following three steps:
1. The key culprit is HTC_CM_Guardian.exe in the windows directory. I couldn't edit it or delete it via Total Commander file explorer, but I was able to rename it! This makes the OS unable to find the program when it tries to re-set the Data connection settings.
2. Under Settings > Connections > Connections > Advanced > "Select which networks are automatically used," hit "Select Networks."
3. Under "Programs that automatically connect to the Internet should connect using:" hit "New...".
4. Enter any name you want (mine's "nodata!") and leave all the other settings blank.
5. To be safe, you may have to delete the Verizon Or "Internet" Connection on the Tasks Tab of Settings > Connections > Connections. Save and exit.
Voila! Wifi, yes; 3g, no! No more nasty billing surprises.
Modaco's Nodata program is awesome, but the problem was that HTC_CM_Guardian.exe re-enabled the data connection every time I reset the phone. Plus, HTC_CM_Guardian.exe would also thwart any effort to block data via the "Connection Settings." By renaming HTC_CM_Guardian.exe and creating a "nodata!" connection that programs auto-connecting to the internet would try to use (and fail), we get three results:
1. Modaco's Nodata doesn't even register that a data connection exists! For this reason, if you occasionally use 3g, you probably won't to use this solution.
2. When you reboot, the OS is unable to mess-up your "Connection Settings", so
3. Unless you have an active wifi connection, programs will try to connect to the Internet using the "nodata!" settings, which, being empty, will fail, exactly as planned.
Hope it helps.

Hi,
Can you tell me where to find the guardian.exe file. I cant locate it any where is it hidden perhaps. I need to disable wifi for this phone. The property that I have does not have wifi currently. So the Wifi feature drains the battery. Thank you very very much if you can provide the information.

I just use the slider switch on the side of the phone to enable/disable wifi. I use RyanMogul's ROM and it works like a charm.

I like nueWiFiSwitch - Hardware Switch (it's in Ryan's ROM I'm using) Disable the wifi switch and whenever I want to use it, I turn it on with Communication Manager.
(the hardware switch would turn on random times when putting in or out of my pocket, etc. Works great!

How to make wifi the default option to connect instead of gprs?

How do I disable the phone from auto connecting to gprs? I tried testing it by launching opera without switching on wifi. The phone still connects through gprs although I turn data connection off. It will turn data connection on by itself. Even when I switch wifi on and want it to connect through wifi instead, it is still connecting through gprs. How do i solve this?

When wifi is "connected" (not only "on"), it uses wifi, no dataconnection.
If you really don't want a dataconnection, use something like NoData...

i tried NoData but it's not working. i'm using official htc wm6.5 rom.

Sorry I cannot be more precise because I don't use it anymore, but I remember there was an option to block data connection in HDTweak. Is that you want? Block dataconnection permanently? If so, you could alternatively delete your mobile operator connection in Settings/Connections. If anyone knows the registry changes involved in this,please post them so that I can make a .cab, I need it when roaming.

try MWLongLife! It's magic
this program is developed for saving battrey life by controlling 3G/2G network and data usage
you can set each program which need data access by 3G, WiFi, USB, etc.
Also, force to use Wifi rather than gprs if it's available.

Thanks for all of the suggestions. I tried installing nodata again and it worked this time.

for those interested there's also a cab to disable push internet completely (think that was the origin of your problem).
Search the forum on NoPushInternet

Yes please... I was about to post the same issue. I think the precedence in WM6.5 of using mobile wireless over WiFi is the wrong way around if the WiFi signal is strong. In my house, my WiFi is strong everywhere but 3G comes and goes. It's darn annoying to get the message about "No connectivity" when I know for sure there is a very good WiFi signal.
Cheers, Rob.
PS. Just had it whilst writing this email - "Messages cannot be downloaded to your mobile device..."

It's "WM" not "MW".

That's much better!! thanks fighter7139, gonna try right now!

SGS 2 packet data (3G/3.5G) data usage

Please bear with me. This is not new about the data usage.
The data traffic generated from my SGS 2 is costing me a lot that I had to disable the Data Network Mode. I simply need to use packet data to send and receive MMS and sometime for Assisted GPS.
How can I control packet data (3G/3.5G) data traffic?
And
How can I restrict it to certain usage (e.g MMS and AGPS)?
Thanks for your help.

You can try droidwall you can set each app to use either wifi or 3g only, or both.

go to the andoid market and install traffic counter extended... the best for me
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.carl.trafficcounter&feature=search_result

Just turn mobile data off and only turn it on when required .
jje

I use a widget called dataEnabler from market. works great for me

Guys... thanks for all your replies.
I guess I found a solution and I would like to share it with you.
Simply I installed SmartAPN and that solved the problem for me.
I switched Data Network Mode on and I disabled Data and enabled MMS.
