Dear ALL,
I need to know how to disable data Connection (Edge, 3G), because my device sometimes connect to Edge or 3G service automatically, I dont have any running programms that needs data connection or auto update !!!
At the same time I want my phone to connect only when recieving MMS messages !
Please advice !
Hi there,
you can install 'HD Tweak' and Disable the items in 'Data (GPRS/EDGE/HSDPA)'.
You can also try Nodata application from Modaco
=> http://www.modaco.com/content/pocket-pc-software/246171/new-free-utility-nodata/
Edit : Caution, Nodata stop ALL data (MMS too) so cymagnus's solution is better
nodsata can toggle mms on/off.
I cant get that HD Tweak to open, all i get is a long page full of codes and such, any suggestions?

Can you not do it manually like this? Start/Settings/Connections Tab/Connections button/Advanced tab/Select Networks button. Then in the pop up where it says "Programs that automatically connect to the Internet should connect using:
Select "MY ISP".
I think MMS will still run?
I have done it and it works, thanx alot

ahmad which way worked for u??, i think if u go to phone, options, band, select your network choose GSM, THAT will solve the problem
It's very easy and you don't need any tools!
Just go to Start--> Settings --> Connections --> Connections --> Advanced --> Secelct Networks and select 'My Work Network' from the dropdown menus.
after selecting "my work network," my main screen still shows the icon "E" does it mean anything?

Having loaded Nodata and then Tweak and found it also had a 'nodata' element I then discovered the HD built in Connection settings.
Seems to work fine.

Means you have an EDGE connection.
nodata its good and works fine on my HD
Hi. I'm not shure what you wanted to do but i'm having the following problem:
In network management if I have selected "programs ...that connect to the internet should use->Mobile Internet" then it allways uses this connection, even if i'm on wifi....and that's not good for me. If i select "my work network" and i'm not connected to wifi, it doesn't go to gprs.
I don't want to manualy set Data connection off every time i'm on wifi and then turn on when i want to use gprs/3g.
How do you do it?

If you select "Programs that automatically connect to the internet should connect using "yourproviderGPRS" (or whatever you have got that is relevant to data connection) it should connect to the internet using WIFI when WIFI is enabled and GPRS when WIFI is off. That's how mine works anyway. If I set it to "my ISP" GPRS will not autimatically connect until I manually change the settings. Hope that makes sense.
It maybe is a poor mans solution, but whenever I travel abroad I simply switch to a copy of my active account in which I deleted the password of my dataconnection. That way i am sure it won't connect. Whenever it tries to connect it will simply ask for the pw first.
You are on an active data connection only when you see the "E" as part of the 4 bars cell phone signal icon.
Not sure ? Then just tap the title bar where you see the "E" and the grey "System Status" screen comes on. here, tap on the "E" icon here and you will see the connectivity status message that says something like "No active connections" or similar.
Basically the E means that you are on "EDGE" signal.
Hope this helps !!
Cheers !!

Has anybody worked out who has the final say?
I have the Standard Built In Connections, NoData and HDTweak.
From what I can see the Built in gets overridden, i.e. with Built In set to Off using the Internet outside of a WiFi area, stills connects via the cell network.
I think adjusting the settings as suggested previously is the best route.

Hi guy,
Now, I'am using XDA Neo with the latest dopod rom, and enjoy it very much.
I always connect the internet via WLAN at my home and sometime at hotspot in public.
I found a problem, when the signal of access point is low or none my neo try to connect GPRS automatically!!!
I don't want it to be connected and don't want to delete the GPRS setting cause sometime I wanna use it in somewhere that doesn't have a hotspot.
Is it possible to do it: when I surf the internet via WLAN no matter the signal low or none, the GPRS would not be connected?
Thanks guy
Hey, I don't know if this works for you but whenever I connect to the Internet via Wifi I turn off the phone function. I'm not sure if this is a solution for you because as you might be aware you can't receive calls anymore. :wink:
If there is a more eloquent solution to this I'd be very much interested too.

Go Start>Settings Then connections tab
Click Connections Icon then the 'Advanced' button
Click 'Select Networks' then in the Top drop down selection boc " programs that automatically connect to the internet should connect using'
change this to either 'My Isp' or 'My Work Network'
'My Isp' is what i use, as this has no connection set under it
then if you have no wifi access gprs can not connect
when you wish to use gprs do the above, except select whatever you connection was originally and gprs will work again
Is there a way to disable or remove GPRS capability altogether? I don't have unlimited data and only wish to use wifi for inet access, but it keeps trying to connect to Cingular GPRS even though I removed it from the ISP settings completely.. Any ideas?

Goto
>Start >Settings >Connections > Network Cards > Network Adapters
In the "My Network card connects to:" prompt, select the value "Work" instead of "The Internet".
Did that, and if I go into IE and try to navigate to a page, it still says "Connecting to Cingular GPRS" and then connects to it... Any more ideas? It "might" be an IE-only problem since Agile Messenger tells me it can't connect when there is no connection, but IE is autoconnecting to GPRS no matter what settings I choose.
Call cingular tell them you want GPRS Data blocked, when they do it, your phone will show an x next to the signal strength indicator (where the GPRS/EDGE icon lives)
That sounds like the best idea so far... Anyone else got a better idea?

Did all that.. IE still trying to connect to Cingular GPRS.. I tried to completely remove it from everything and somehow it still wants to connect if no connection exists already.. weird...

Thas wierd. It works on mine.. If no connection exists, IE will try to conenct to GPRS but it will fail on mine. It will only work when I am conencted to WiFi. Which ROM version do you have? I have 2.24.10.1 WWE.
if u disable this option can u still send MMS?
2.25 cingular as on the ftp under ROM_Other or whatever...

Is there any other way to do this??? I've been having the same problem with this new ROM. No matter what i do (select "My Work Network", fiddle with the GPRS settings), it ALWAYS wants to connect to the GPRS.
I'm having the EXACT same problem as the guy who started this post.
Thanks!
OK.. Either call the cell company and tell them to remove internet capabiltiy OR you can try REMOVING your "media Net" connection from your connections. It's in the place where you select between My ISP, Work, Media Net... Just go into Media Net and click on remove/delete or whatever and see if that works for ya.

it doesn't work, no matter what i do, it tries to connect via GPRS, and then it tries to dial a modem # starting with +1415XXXXXXX. its weird. i used to be able to just delete the ISP key, but not anymore. im running 2.24 Summiter ROM.
you can always create a new connection in connections and leave it blank, then it errors with a unable to connect message, and you can always switch it back if you want the access in the future
Any idea as to how you can switch off gprs automatically after each time checking your pop email??

Just curious,...why do you have this phone?
I have a Cingular 8125 (WIZA100) that I use about 50% of the time in areas that have no coverage. But, in those locations I do have access to many WiFi hotspots.
I too would like to disable GPRS search (my phone seems to spend much of its time trying to connect to the non-existent network.) Obviously calling the carrier does not help in this situation.
I assume there is a registry hack (or some such) to kill it. Has anyone found anything on the phone that will kill GPRS but keep WiFi Running?
Txs
I have not TRIED it but I would suggest trying out Opera as it probably is not integrated with GPRS as much as IE is. Just a hunch I am going to try as well.
Hi
Is it possible to force my JASJAM to always connect to wifi even when wireless service is available.
Thanks

Your JASJAM (with default settings) should always "prefer" Wi-Fi over a cell connection. I'd take a look at your adapter settings and make sure that the WLAN/Wi-Fi one has "This adapter connects to the Internet" checked.
John
Some applications such as Windows Live (at least I've found this) still prefer to use a data call, until you cancel the connection.
You can stop it doing this if you go to Settings -> Connections tab -> Connections -> Advanced tab -> Select Networks.
If in the top box you have a "Wifi" option, select that and a data call won't be made. If not, select "New...", call the settings "Wifi" and click "ok" in the corner to create the option.
This works for me, anyway.
Hi guys,
I want my jade to check emails automatically, but only if WiFi is available.
I have no idea how to realize it in the setting. When using periodic check, my jade builds up a umts/gprs connection .
I don’t like to delete my GPRS profile or to insert incorrect settings, because I like to use it manually sometime.
Cheers,
ratsche
I guess you can do that in connection settings - connections - advanced (Einstellungen - Verbindungen - Verbindungen - Erweitert at my phone)
There you can set which connections shall be used automatically
you can set with following setting per my telco said:
-Start> Settings> Connections> Connections> Advanced tab> select Network tab> Network Management:
-Under Network Management screen, set both 'Programs that auto.... using' drop down list to "My Work Network".
i also use NoData in case anything failed to work so!
Lastly, i always check applications whether they are connected to gprs WITHOUT my notice.

Hi,
thanks for your help. What do you mean by NoData, the setting in the communication manager?
I guess, you are checking applications manually?
Yesterday my moble used GPRS without my permission again :/ (without your settings). I started WiFi to connect to my Exchange server and for some sort of reason, my jade started a GPRS connection, though there was the WiFi icon. I realized the connection only via the "spb wireless monitor" and after the synchonisation.

Hi Surf77
May I know how you check if the application is connected to gprs, instead of Wifi or wireless LAN?? I asked because sometime I use weather update.

What exactly is the problem? When connected via wifi, you are unable to surf the net, update stock & weather? Or is it just internet access?
Go to Settings > connections > wifi > wireless networks > network adaptors and set 'My network cards connects to' to 'the internet'
Would also change Settings > connections > wifi > advanced > power mode and set this at best performance
Let me know if this works
Is the problem with just surfing the internet, or no internet at all? You can try to update the weather and/or stocks, just to see if the problem is with the connectivity (in which case you should try to follow the previous advice) or with the browser itself (for example with Black Perl ROM the first time you open Opera, there is a problem with rendering of the page, so you have to close it and reopen again).

when i try to open yahoo, it says "could not locate remote server, bla bla bla... make sure your internet connection is active and check whether other applications that rely on the same connection working".
i also tried to update the weather and it says "there was a connection error while attempting to download weather data".

Are you connected to active sync or wmdc while you are trying to access the net (i.e. do you have your phone plugged into you pc)?
Check |START|SETTINGS|CONNECTIONS|USB To PC| and make sure you have "Enable advanced network functionality" checked.
If all else fails, soft reset, if that fails... hard reset
If in Internet explorer is ok then Check opera:config for a wrong proxi !
(opera keep setings from last conections)

my hd wasnt connected to pc... i even tried to connect using my 3g...
the 3g is connected but still cant browse the internet... i dont think theres a problem with my opera... since i tried to update the weather it appears the same errors..
I had this problem today - wifi connected but opera and weather updates not working.
I selected
Start->Settings->Connections(tab)->Connections(icon)->Advanced->Select Networks
and set "Programs that automatically connect to the Internet should connect using:" = "My Work Network" (was "Orange Internet").
This worked fine and I can now surf and download. I don't know if it will affect my 3g connection yet but I will try it later.
install schaps advanced config and disable "Proxy Auto Detection" in Internet Explorer section
Is your problem similar to this?

Sorry for not having the solution, just trying to determin what would be the cause.
Which firmware do you have?
perhaps it will be easier to change it directly in the registry.
one can see that this is not relevant to internet explorer only.
Code:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings]
"EnableAutoDetect"=dword:00000000
