[REQ] Looking for gprs/wifi switch app
Hi, I'm looking for an app that asks me if I want to connect to a wifi network whenever a program tries to connect to the internet.
If that hasn't been made, then maybe you know an app that can turn of gprs completely, as in making it impossible for an app to use gprs when it wants internet acces.
thanks if you can help me
please help
NoData allows you to disable GPRS/3G entirely on your phone if you want so that the device will only be able to connect to the internet over WiFi (if available):

hi, i would like to disable gprs totally on my htc touch
is there any free programs i can use out there?
or would i be able to set a setting?
i just dont want my gprs to kick in when i lose my wifi connection.
thx
you can just remove the grps settings from myisp in connection settings
then it cant connect
This'll do it.
Now when I start Opera or any other internet program, it automatically connect to 3g or Edge network, if there is no wlan.
But I'd like to be asked before connection is made or at least have the ability to disable going automatically online for programs, which use the internet.
Is this possible ?
Tnx

You can use NoData:

I made a fictieve connection " No 3 G " and told the phone to connect to this
connection if it wants to go to the internet. Every time an internet releated prog is started I now get the no connection message and the link to the network settings...
So now I can choose to activate the working connection or to leave it disconnected...
Hope this is helpfull...

Sometimes when I use Wifi for quick download of stuff and after I turn it off, I get the message that it cannot connect to a GPRS connection. Why is that?
I double checked that the apps are closed and I was using WiFi only.
thanks,
Had the same problem and fixed it with Switch OFF GPRS (MoDaCo NoData) cab

How can i disable the 3g GPRS connection, and enable WIFI only
Thanks a lot!!!
No Data will allow you to stop data connection.
so now if i closed my Orange network, the WIFI should work?
It is still doesnt work, do you have any idea how to configure it?

Course it will there seperate
All you do is block Orange connection when you want and unblock when needed
This program doesn't help me , because even i close it the GPRS still work.
But than i take the SIM from the phone, or turn off the phone feature, the internet connection is unavailable.
I think that all problem that was in some topics about the WIFI speed , is because of they used the GPRS internet and not the WIFI.
So , there some more complexive problem with internet WIFI in HTC HD.
Just try to take out the SIM and than surf in internet with WIFI? There is no way!!!!!
the connection icons on the top of the screen clearly show which data connection is active
the manual describe the meaning of all the top screen icons
settings->connections->connections->advanced-select network
pick my home network or whatever the non isp connection is named on your phone
and all data connections when there is no wifi or activesync connections to get free network from will fail with an error == you will never get a grps connection again
before you turn it back to my isp or what it's named on your device
I have been trying for a long time trying to figure out a way to use Samsung Omnia Pro b7610 wifi connection for all applications which require internet connection like windows update, widgets, browsing internet. No matter what i do, it doesnt work, although I managed to somehow use wifi for browsing internet by using IE but no other service. When I go to "Manage my connection", it shows me no option for making a wifi connection, it only shows make/edit modem connection, VPN, proxy settings and if i go to advance settings it shows my GPRS connections only for editing, if I want to make a new connection, it asks me for dialing properties only related to modem.
Please help me out, what should I do. Another thing on the top bar where all the icons are displayed for network, battery, there is an "E" in a box, as far as I think it is my GPRS connection/data connection, but when I click on this icon it takes me to network settings where there is no option for disabling it, like it does in case of wifi icon.

when you create/edit your gprs setting, you need to make sure in the "select a modem", you are using GPRS. Then you will need to setup your access point. I.E., Tmobile would be either internet2.voicestream.com or wap.voicestream.com.
i have all the GPRS settings, which my service provider sent me and I saved them. It shows all the info like access point, user name, password but my problem is not this, I do not want to use GPRS at all, instead I want my wifi to be my default connection for all internet related tasks, I want to disable GPRS.
The icon for GPRS at top task bar which is "E" in a box, does not disappear no matter what I do, I want to pay for GPRS charges for accessing internet instead I want to use wifi for this purpose, please help me out to disable this E icon, when I click on it, it takes to network settings, where all the settings are like Select band, select network -manual/automatic, wifi, 3g- which I have turned off, no GPRS enable or disable function.
My problem is simple, i want to use wifi as a default connection like we do on our PC/laptop, so that all the applications which need internet access can use wifi instead of GPRS or data connection.
Regards
i have managed the same problem with a freeware named NoData
there you can enable & disable GPRS/WAP connections
google for 'modaco nodata'
