My old device was htc wizard. There was an option to disable gsm (phone) only. Is there any way to do this in g1? I just want to avoid calls and in the same time to use wifi. Airplane mode doesn't work for me, because it disables wifi too

Not quite the way you are accustomed to it, but there is a 'way' around it... you basically leave the phone on but you can turn on call forwarding... settings > call settings > call forwarding > always.
It doesn't turn the phone off but it won't ring either.

i was wondering the same thing, there might come out with a fix for this in the next update.
demontefixo, i was using the same solution, but I hoped for real solution to disable GSM. Anyway I will just wait
PS: This device is amazing I'm so happy with it. I wasn't using windows on my computer and laptop, and now i am completely MS free
Install anycut and Create a Software to Hidden Application named Phone Info, their you can see the Phone or Radio disable type of option. I have Tried it
It can actuall disable Radio and keep the Wifi on, But i could not renable radio and must have to reboot the phone.
Through the same Phone Info shortcut you can enable it to use WCDMA only or just prefer WCDMA or use GSM only. I think that is what mony87 was looking for.
Or you can go to:
Settings
Mobile networks
Operator selection
If you only see T-Mobile then Search Networks.
Select a non subscribed Network like ATT
It will tell you you your SIM card does not allow a connection...
But if you don't re-select TMobile the Phone Connection will turn off.
To get your Phone Connection back, just select TMobile

I thought I had the same issue but you actually can re-enable the radio after you turn it off...it just takes a while...
Bring up the dialer, type in: *#*#INFO#*#*. Shouldn't need to hit enter. Scroll all the way down, and hit "Turn off radio".

Hi there,
I would know if someone know how to create a shortcut for toggle wifi (activate and desactivate)
Thanks
I've read several threads/posts in these forums and it seems no-one has been able to come up with a way to do it. At the moment, ONLY the comm manager can turn wifi on/off.
pocketAlarm, has a today plugin which toggles wifi from a press of a single button on the Today screen, with some of its newest skins.
However, the feature does not work on all devices, but the list is expanding, so you might want to check it out.
Cheers.
Whats wrong with just clicking on the gprs icon and then turn on wifi ?

That still translate to four taps, not just one.
1. Click GPRS
2. Click Comm Manager
3. Click on WIFI toggle
4. Close Comm Manager (optional)

2 Clicks on mine.
Click GPRS icon on top menu bar.
Click on Turn on wifi.
Thats it !
In my T-Mobile 2.24 Extended Rom there are 2 executables, one to turn Wifi on and one turn Wifi off.
I will look them up for you tomorrow, I will post them in this thread.
Well molski can you upload the two executables please !!!
I will look if is work on my wizard
Here you go Kheops.
I tried both files and they both work perfect on my Wizard.
Thanks a lot mister Molski
have you a toggler?
Damn, those apps do nothing on mine (8125 w/Molski 2.26 ROM).
Sigh.

but there is still a problem that you must turn WIFI on for the first time after reboot, or no link will work, right? that was a problem on 2.3 i know, but the new os maybe got that fixed...
P.
check out vijay's app
Vijay555 has an app called VJVolubilis.exe which does pretty much what your looking for, as well as toggling bluetooth, etc. It has a wifi toggle feature, but unfortunatly doesn't seem to work on Wizards. However, the "wifi on" and "wifi off" work fine. Some people have reported not being able to use the "wifi on" feature after a soft reset until they manually turned on their wifi at least once. This can be fixed with a registry tweak that I'm too lazy to look up right now, however I found it previously on this forum with a search. If I have time I'll look it up and post in the morning (almost bedtime here in the U.S. Eastern Time Zone). The trick to this app is to create a shortcut with command line parameters to either turn on or turn off. I use claunch on my today screen where I have a wifi on, wifi off, blutooth toggle, and "make bluetooth discoverable" icons. These are on my "wireless" tab in claunch. Totally rocks.
Easy with SKSchema
SKSchema comes with a wifitoggle program. Of course it only works if you have skschema installed.
I couldn;t find one that worked the way I wanted, so I ended up using PhoneAlarm.
On my windows mobile devices I was able to go into the comm manager and just shut off the phone radio while keeping on the wifi radio. Is there a way to do that on the g1? I know that airplane mode exists but I can't turn wifi on by itself that way.
I was thinking about this last night. On my MDA, I could choose what radio I could have on. Especially handy when I travel and just want wifi. Android does not as of yet seem to allow you to do this. And I don't even think it will at any point. I wonder how we can get it in there?
There is a way, but it requires root...
From terminal, run the following as root:
radiooptions 1
radiooptions 5 is supposed to turn it back on, but doesn't seem to. Reboot may be necessary.
Works as described, I wonder why radiooptions 5 doesn't actually restore the radio???
Here is a link to all the options available with radiooptions

You dont need root to turn off the radio.... i use anycut, and make a new chort cut, activity,Phone Info.
From there you can force 2g,3g,3g preffered, or turn off radio. their is also much more.

Can you provide the command syntax or a link to find them to manipulate the radio?

There is no command or special syntax. Here's what you need to do:
1. Download Any Cut;
2. Launch Any Cut and select "New shortcut";
3. Click on "Activity";
4. Scroll down until you see "Phone info" and select it;
5. Name the shortcut whatever you want (or leave the default) and click OK;
6. Go to home screen where you will see "Phone info" icon - launch it;
7. Scroll down and at the bottom you will see "Turn off radio".
8. Simple! Well, almost
I figured there would be a way in anycut...just wasn't thinking when I was looking through the activities. Thanks for the help.

This may be really stupid, but I see that the phone is set to GSM/CDMA auto (PRL).
Does this mean that this thing may work with say Sprint's CDMA network, if I plug in a Sprint SIM?
I read somewhere that the radio supports both GSM and CDMA (although it doesn't mean it has an antenna for both).
I don't think so that chip is 'dual'.
(and there is no list for this options)

Hm, when I enter the service menu as posted above, I get a whole bunch of options, some say CDMA Only, some GSM only. Mine is set at GSM/CDMA auto (PRL).
For a brief description of the menus, see this:

Anyway, it would be too good to be true

This specific menu does not work with this phone.
I've been trying to get a juicy theme going on but I'm having real trouble finding a switch to allow direct access to allow me to switch mobile data on and off.
SwitchPro doesn't allow me to do it, both "Data Connection" and "2g 3g" only switch it off for a few seconds and then it pops back up. If I then go into settings, Wireless, Mobile network shows as being ticked, yet says "Connection failed" - It is of course connected and functional.
Extended Controls 2g/3g and Data Network do exactly the same.
There is, of course, the native Sense UI widget...so how hard can it be if you don't want to use Sense?
Is there a widget out there that will allow me to directly switch Mobile Network (data) on and off from the homescreen?
Currently on latest Mocado R8 custom bake.
i had that problem before as well..what i did is remove the defualt apn and add them back manually..and the problem solve..u can try on this method..

you can change switch pro's settings to make it do the same thing as APNDroid too.

Could you give me a quick step-by-step?
Will try apnDroid too, thanks guys.
EDIT - apndroid simply disables it for a few seconds, it then reconnects.
widget didnt do anything.
I need one because you have to press and hold the power button and it seems a bit rough on it and we all know that these little buttons always go bad so a widget would be great for relieving the burdon on the power button.
any other suggestions, for a rooted evo?
What is the best shortcut to toggle data on/off (not WiFi)?
Thanks
Very simple actually:
1. Pull down notification down all the way
2. Tap once on your cellular network icon
3. Turn off (or turn it back on) the data
4. Your done

When I pull down notification and tap on my cellular network icon (there are two side by side - it's a 2 SIM card model) it opens a "Data usage" screen and then I have to tap on an icon that shows me another screen named "Sim cards" where I have a control named (Cellular Data) that allows me to turn it off.
Too much steps. That's why I asked.
Thanks for trying to answer.

For single SIM variant which the original poster did not specifically say it would
look like the screenshot. Which is only one click from pull down menu.
I agree it's a pain in the ass. I use a shortcut in Nova. It eliminates 1 click.

I took a look around in the Play Store and only found apps for the mediatek SoC dual SIM which of course isn't going to work here. I don't think any of the normal apps (widgets) that work on single SIM are up to the challenge. Last thought on this - maybe as time goes forward that some of the users working on custom Roms like CM & AOSP might be able to include some tricks for this kind of thing.
Anyone find a solution to this? The dual SIM version is a pain to disable data. Not to mention I want to have this done automatically with Tasker and I cannot right now... Thanks!
I am not 100% sure if this works with dual sim, however running Shell command in Tasker svc data disable/enable works great. Be sure to check root.
Don't have the Moto but 3G Watchdog includes a widget for toggling the data on/off by one touch on an icon. It works with Zuk Z1 which is a dual sim phone. Maybe you can try this.
gravitybox has this.also has toggle for smart network!
