Hello, it's possible to use a already downloaded map with one of those aplications, so you don't have to use gprs etc (a internet data connection with the cost that this have...) I think it's stupid about been downloading the same map over and over...
Anyone knows? Sorry if duplicated, I could'n find anything at all.
Regards!

Hi, just wondering if there is any app that will block all applications from accessing the internet thru data connection (not wifi), unless given express user approval - like a zonealarm popup or something? I hope something like this exists, as I want to make sure I don inadvertently connect since I only get 10 megs a month...
Any suggestions much appreciated!!
Install the Modaco Nodata cab file (http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=66173&d=1200491671)
Then you can toggle (on/) off the connection you dont want to use
Hi I need some help,
My Tytn is having problem getting google map & traffic data, windows live map & traffic data and TomTom traffic service data; also, hotmail does not load with IE either. I have T-mobile internet service I have no problem go to other web site, yahoo mail and gmail both worked. This problem started about a month ago, I did not have this problem the first two month I had the phone. I pop my sim over to HTC 8125 and google map work as it should. I should mention my Tytn is running WM6 while the 8125 is on WM5. Google map and Tomtom think I don't have data connection and windows live map just show a blank page, does anyone know what the problem is? I talked to T-mobile PDA support with no help at all.
Thanks
Hey,
I have a G4 Wizard, Model Wiza100(With a Camera). I'm using a generic MDA Windows Mobile v6 rom. I recently bought this phone off a friend, mine broke and I didn't want to pay 100s for a rather crappy go phone. I do not have the Data Plan for AT&T and was wondering if there was a way to configure my wizard to NEVER automatically connect to the internet. I'd also like to find a way to have it be able to browse while connected to wifi. Thanks guys, -Strife
Bumb. Any help guys?
Go into start, settings, connections, tap manage existing connections, general tab and tap delete settings. I think this should remove internet connections settings and you wont be able to connect.
Your phone shouldn't connect to gprs anyway unless you open your web browser or other app (like weather program) without being connected to wifi
Sweet, thanks man. I never really need to use the internet on my phone, I was just skeptical of downloading weather addons and such because I didn't want it to access the internet. Also, everytime I let someone use my phone they end up opening internet explorer anyways. I guess we will see the bill at the end of the month, but this should stop it. Thanks again.

Then download apps that let YOU decide when things get updated.
Also, you could try using NoData from MoDaCo (free registration on site required to see/download attachments). Pay attention to their warnings, though: you must have GPRS settings installed for it to work
It'll basically render GPRS inoperable unless you absolutely NEED it, then you just run NoData again, and enable GPRS, and Bob's your mother's sister's husband.
Sweet, thanks for the heads up. Seems like I had No Data on my phone from the MDA Rom. Alright cool, well now I know how to use No Data. Thanks again!
Hi,
jUst wondering if anyone knows a prgram out there that can prevent certain program/s to use internet (grps, edge, hdspda. , wifi )
Cheers,
Just use this one here http://www.pocketpc.ch/attachments/...daco-nodata-internetverbindung-aus-nodata.zip and you'll be fine!
hi, thanks alot 2SWIFT
but that is not exactly what i need.
I require an app/tool which allows most programs to use data connection, except A FEW nominated ones.
so i can put certain programs to never download data. Sort of like a Block/Ban List.
Any ideas anyone?
Does anyone know if it is possible to use the GPS receiver without any network data usage?
I have disabled the "use data network" option in settings>location but whenever I start an application requiring GPS, the data network icon automatically appears and indicates that data is being sent/received.
I know that Google Maps does require network for downloading maps etc. but the data network is also being activated by CoPilot and GPS Test, hence my assumption that it is the GPS radio that activates it.
Any advice on how to effectively disable network usage by GPS is highly appreciated.
Use APNdroid to disable mobile data completely.

On a similar note:
I would like a program that caches all the maps for the UK to my SD card, so I can use my phone as a SatNav without needing a data connection of any kind. So the phone worked out the route instead of Google servers as well. If you know what I mean.
Does anyone know of such an application?
I think there are a number of "offline" map applications available.
Personally, I have used MapDroyd which by the way is free, but unfortunately doesn't have a directions feature.
brut.all made some modifications on the stock Google Maps to enable offline maps and international navigation. His mod is somewhere in xda-developers (search for his name).

I think all the mapdata from the UK might take up a lot of space on your SD-card
there are offline navigation packages like Navigon for Android or sygic
the have the mapdata compressed into special packages
what I'm looking for is a map manager that can handle my own maps like military maps scanned into JPG images
i once had a program for WM5 http://www.sunnysoft.com/software.php?idarticle=241 that did the trick but cannot find it in android

Google iGo my way, this app turns your legend into gps-navigator. Map of teh whole russia takes about 80 megabytes, so it's not the problem
Your guys don't get it, I too have the same problem, it's not a question of maps but enabling the GPS also enables your data connection for some reason, could be the "assisted" GPS kicking in.
Google Sky Map or just a simple application like GPS Status seems to enable the data connection, even when "Mobile internet" is turned off in the Settings and both applications doesn't require data, at least the first one doesn't.
In Sky Map, having cell tower positioning works fine but as soon as you enable GPS, it turns on the data connection!
My point exactly
No I got the question, and I don't know exactly how to switch off agps. I (and I guess others who have listed offline map application) was actually answering the question in post #3.
I think (haven't tried) once you have rooted you phone, you can change /system/etc/gps.conf and remove all three urls - it might stop the gps from working altogether though.
