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?

Hello All,
I apologize if this has already been discussed. If it has, could you direct me to the thread?
We have a WIFI hotspot at my work. But, it requires the user to open the internet and either create a new user or log in with an existing one, which I have. I use it with my laptop fine.
But I want to use the standard IExplorer on my wm5 8125 (wizard) and auto login and not log out until I kill the connection. Is there a setting in the phone or software that allows for this? I know that there are a couple of different internet explorers like opera etc that allow for multi tabbing but I don't want to deviate from the standard IE.
Please let me know if or how this is possible.
Thanks,
CG
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 have a Windows Mobile 6 Standard based phone (actually an HP one called IPAQ 514) and would like to configure its connections.
What I want is that my phone does never connect to the internet by my phone provider but only with WLAN and Bluetooh. This means I want to disable the internet by my provider completly. Is this possible?
The setting should be used for all applications on the phone and also for those I'll install in the future. Currently I removed GPRS connections, except for MMS and I removed "DFÜ" (German). Anything more to do?
How to set up Internet Explorer?
Thanks for your help in advance.
Greetings,

I don't want to go online through my provider either so I simply deleted the media net profile on my phone. Not sure how your HP works, but something along those lines should work.
if you want better controll, you can leave all dial up/gprs connections in there for moment when you really need it, and just disable and enable the one you need. this is simple small utility, which do the trick - modaco no data - http://www.modaco.com/content/pocket-pc-software/246171/new-free-utility/
I have a Touch Pro2 which connects to the net every 15 minutes for reasons that I'm not aware of (I have Outlook and Weather set to Manual, have disabled Latitude in Google Maps, etc). SPB Wireless Monitor tells me only that system.exe or services.exe are doing the accesses.
Since my provider charges per session this can get quite expensive, so I've been forced to turn 3G/GPRS access on/off manually using NoData.
Is there a way of selectively enabling net access for designated applications only? e.g. allowing it to Opera and Outlook only by default, and selectively enabling other apps on demand?
Alternatively, is there a way of finding out which apps are trying to access the net without my knowledge? (e.g. by forcing a prompt every time an application attempts 3G/GPRS access)?
TIA for any tips
Ian

Hi,
If you grab a trial of SPB Wireless Monitor,that will show what apps and how much data has been used per application.
i think this is a greate idea. someone should really develop this.
basically the user would provide the application with an approved list of applications that can connect using the 3g/edge connection. the rest can only connect using wifi or activesync

but it doesnt do anything after it tells you this stats.
a simple application similar to "no data" should still be developed. what do you all think?
look into your taskmanager
RSSHub ? QuickGPS ?
good look

Sure, this wont stop the apps, but as the OP had asked, this will let him know what apps are accessing the NEt

I suspect that they are your Network Operator settings checking for updates or
something like that.

They make 87 connections in 18 hours - does that sound likely? It works out very expensive for those tariffs which charge a per-connection fee.
Any idea how I could disable this (or confirm that this is indeed the explanation)?
Hutchison3G sets up virtually all their supplied phones with network configurations to connect very frequently like what you describe.
See if you can simply disable your data connection. As with H3G in Australia, you dont get charged when it is simply accessing its own intranet, and when its roaming it only displays a 'lite' homepage.
Perhaps consider a non-network issued rom, or determine whether that data is 'free intranet' or not.

I already use NoData to manually enable/disable the data connection when it's required/not required. I was just hoping for a more elegant solution to stop unauthorised apps incurring data charges, while not sacrificing the convenience of automatic access for apps that I use alot (like Opera and Outlook)
hope someone develops this
You can try PPC version of ProxyCap to restrict or proxify access per application - http://www.proxycap.com/
It doesn't pop up when an aplication attempts to communicate with the Internet, so manual configuration is required. You'll need to set up proxy bypass for the applications you want to be allowed to connect and use localhost as a proxy by default, so that other applications can't communicate with external hosts. You can also filter traffic based on destination IPs and ports. E.g. an easier solution may be to allow http and https traffic only for all applications and drop everything else if you only need to use a web browser.
ProxyCap may not prevent your GPRS/EDGE/HSDPA connection from being established every time, but at least there will be application or protocol filtering in place and thus less unexpected traffic. ProxyCap does not seem to be able to filter ICMP traffic. It appears to be allowing DNS traffic through regardless of the filtering configuration too, as it can't be proxified and is required for proper name resolution.
Another alternative is PPC firewalls like
http://www.airscanner.com/products/firewall/
and
http://www.anthasoft.com/anthafirewall-firewall-for-mobile-device.php
I haven't used any of these products though and can't recommend them.
Both seem to be more user friendly than proxycap though.
Hi everyone,
I'm new to this forum, and was wondering if anyone can help me out. I have an Acer S200, and due to restrictions at work, we need to disable internet access from our mobile devices.
I have read various posts that state that this can be achieved by disabling wifi access by altering the registry keys, however none of the methods that i have come accross seem to apply to my Acer S200 mobile 6.5.
Sorry to be a pain, but does anyone know how i can do this?
Thanks in advance everyone.
alan
What are you talking about? Disable wifi? Why do you start it at the first place?
Internet access on mobiles can be done by active synch, data connection, wifi. It 's up to you to disable them by comm manager and active synch.
Maybe I get you wrong. What exactly do you need to stop?
Hi fresco,
thanks for the reply. Well, the organisation wants to prevent the devices from having the ability to connect to the internet.
I understand that there may not be a complete solution, but at the very least I would definitely like to disable wifi completely, since this is what I've read others have done. The devices do not have data connection plans, hence this option isn't a problem.
Apparently I can disable the wifi by altering the registry keys? Any ideas anyone?
Thanks.
hiya...
any ideas guys?
can anyone direct me to anything that could be remotely useful to the above?
Thanks
Hi alan,
let me get this straight.You work at an organization that has unencrypted wifi access
but doesn`t want it`s employees using it?
If your company`s wi-fi network gives access to the internet to anyone that connects to it why doesn`t the IT manager set a password to the network or enable mac filtering (prevents unauthorized devices-mac addresses from connecting to the network)?
I don`t know how you would disable the wifi chip from the registry
but if i were you i would buy a second phone for work use only.
SKTools
Try SKTools maybe there is a solution in the app.
You can disable the WiFi in registry:
Go to "[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\State\Hardware]" and change the WiFi string to 0.
In the Comm. Manager the WiFI is disappeared and you are not able to connect.
thanks brainmaster.
the method that you suggested only removes the wifi display from comm manager, however that can easily be bypassed using the windows menu, to open wifi.
thanks...
then delete that one from the windows menu from Device > Windows > Start Menu
