What is the best way to disable the WiFi functionality of an AT&T Tilt?
I want to conserve battery life and permanently disable my users from enabling it.
Thank you for any assistance!

Is there any way that you can turn off the 3g to save battery because on other android phones like the g1 it allows to turn off the 3g and seeing this is the first 4g phone EVEERRRRRR!!! i think it should have some way to turn off the 3g capability to save battery,,any suggestions
You are able to turn off 3G completely by going to Apps>Settings>Wireless Networks>Uncheck Mobile Network
yea but there gotta b a way without disabling the internet
No way because voice and data are 2 separate signals and cant be used simultaneously. The 3g is the thing that kills the battery because it is always looking for a better signal. If you turn that off, voice will stay at "1x", thus saving battery and you can still receive sms and mms
3G has become the clearest battery drain outside of screen usage, so I'm desperately looking for an app to shut it off when I travel for my Droid. I know that for some reason this could not be developed for Verizon like other networks because of the CDMA network, but I would imagine that a solution could be developed for rooted users since getting a Wifi signal essentially turns off 3G while still allowing for texts and calls? Could the phone be tricked into thinking it has connected to a Wifi signal? I'd pay for an app like this and I think others would too....
Go to the dialer and enter: *#*#INFO#*#*
Then go to Phone Information. Then scroll down to where it says "Set preferred network type:" and change it from CDMA auto (PRL) to CDMA only.
try juice defender in the market. it basically turnes off 3G while the phone is locked saving a ton of battery life! when you unlock the phone it turnes 3G back on! only problem is it takes a little while sometime for 3G to kick back on... but you could enable the juice defender when you want and disable it when you dont need the extra batttery life! give it a try! its free so if ya dont like it you can just get rid of it!
You can also use Quick Settings which among the other settings you can quickly change allows you to disable the use of 3G. It works great on my Milestone.
Or you could use APNDroid (on the market too). It has a widget to manually switch on/off the 3G net, but still allowing to use the phone/text.

Your milestone is GSM. Quick settings does not work for CDMA phones.
To the OP, use the widget called Easy Switch. It does 3G and GPS (among other things) with the click of the button. It doesn't take you to an options menu, it just works.
+1 on APNDroid. Simple and just works.
Another option for droid is cyanogen6. I know rc2 has 3g on/off built into droids power control widget.

use cynaogen...u can turn off 3g in there
can someone who is rooted and on sgs iii bell in canada upload their modem..
I need this to try and get around the stupid at&T RAT setings that doesnt allow you to turn off lte..
We dont have lte here in new hampshire yet and you get much better battery life with it disabled.. Just toggling to 3g (also blocked without an app) is not the same thing
thanks

I don't have mine yet it'll be rogers but what I would suggest is to remove your APN settings for LTE and see if that helps. Of course take a screenshot of your old settings with that nifty new feature lol.
not a good solution changing apn does not turn off the lte.. just doesnt use it.. not what i want to do.. i want to save battery so you have to actually turn it off.
I believe juice defender does this at least there are options for this. Now I'm unsure of what methodology juice defender goes by.
Hi, I recently obtained an S4 and I was wondering if there was a rom that disabled the CDMA and calling capabilities of the phone. Since its not connected to a plan, i would like a wifi only rom in order to maximize battery life if there is one available. If not, could I edit the Build.prop in order to disable that or something? thank you
Why not just put the phone in airplane mode but turn on WiFi?
On my T-Mobile variant, there is a persistent notification for wifi calling. Is there anyway to remove this without turning off the feature?
I would also like to know. Its annoying as hell
go into the wifi calling options and choose to prefer cellular instead of wifi, at least then its not there unless you need it. there is no way to remove it (when its on) w/o root.
