I'm using EDGE on TMo and everytime i use it (Opera/google maps/email) when i'm done and close out of those programs i have to manually go into Comm Manager and switch the Data Connection off. Is there a feature that I can have it turn off automatically when not in use?

Advanced Config Tool has an option to choose how much time connection can stay idle, after that time it will disconnect.
what is the exact setting in advanced config tool?
Anyone? I don't see anywhere in the advance config tool that would set it how much time to disconnect for data/3g/edge..... i only see it for wifi..
Bottom right softkey "Menu" --> More Settings --> Connections --> Disconnect after.....

Any way to disable gprs in the handset. Some of my applications are using gprs for updating and my service provider is charging me like anything. I have wifi and want to use that alone for data... is there a setting somewhere which will help me in disabling GPRS
i tried the nodata ( nogprs) application but its not working for me

Do you need GPRS at all? If not, go to Settings->Connections->Connections->Manage existing and delete everything.
Setting > Connection and select "my work network" as internet connection instead of your provider's one.
You can change it back anytime you need to really use GPRS

In the registry you’ve got the following key:
HKLM\Comm\ConnMgr\Providers\{7C4B7A38-5FF7-4bc1-80F6-5DA7870BB1AA}\Connections
Export this key to enable GPRS later on.
Go inside your data connections and you’ll find a key, “Enabled." This key has a value 1, change this for every connection to 0.
There, you're done.
You could try to go to the Comm Manager and disabling "Phone" and activating Wi-Fi.
Hope this helps!
Try the Moto Toggle Widget on the market. Requires root, but works
I recently bought a used T-Mobile MDA Touch. Naturally it has T-Mobile finger prints all over it. If I active an application that requires the Internet, the phone connects to edge or gprs. It notifies me but doesn't need my permission. This can happen with my attention else where and since I am on a prepaid it can cost a lot of money that returns no value.
Any ideas or suggestions? Perhaps there's a switch or a or hack that would require my input before proceeding to these costly alternative?
Thanks in advance.
Schap's Advanced Configuration Tool can disable connections without rebooting system - if you need GPRS, you just start ACT, go to connections settings and tap connection you want to enable. When you don't need it, you disable it again. Works perfect for me
Thank you! Works for me, too. )
New, another invention: after blocking connection this way if you want to use it, you don't have to re-enable it. Just install Opal Comm Manager and set your connection as default in Settings -> |Connections| -> Connections. Tapping Data connection in Comm Manager will connect it, but other apps won't be able to do it Tested on Onyx 4.0.

Sorry I cant see how to do this. I have installed Advanced Configuration Tool 3.3 and disabled GPRS, and I have Opal Comm Manager installed, but latter will not let me switch GPRS back on.
Can you clarify exactly how/where to "set the connection as default" so that I will not need to go back into Advanced Configuration Tool to re-enable it every time?
hello everyone,
I have a simple question, can i set my device to connect using wifi automatically when i run an internet application instead of going to the gprs, i tried to play with the connection setting but no luck.

Hi!
I have managed this problem by defining double keypress to "backspace" key to turn bluetooth on/off and triple keypress to turn wifi on/off with AE Button Plus. Very handy tool! http://ae.inc.ru/aebplus.php
I had always assumed that any WiFi connection took automatic priority over GPRS?
On my HD and automatically :
- WiFi takes priority over GPRS/3G
- USB (ActivSync) takes priority over GPRS/3G and Wifi (which is automatically disabled, BTW)
- If neither USB nor WiFi are available, GPRS/3G is used.
Tested with IE, Opera, Mail and Weather.

First, do you get the wifi turned on automatically when you start ie or opera?
second, if yes, how did you manage to do that?

Here is how I configured (I'm translating from french, exact english terms might be a bit different) :
1. Parameters > tab "Connections" > Connections > tab "Advanced" > "Networks selection"
- In "Programs connecting automatically to Internet..." I've selected "Office network"
- IN "Programs connecting automatically to a private network ..." I've selected "OrangeWorld"
2. Parameters > tab "Connections" > WiFi > "Wireless networks" > tab "Network interface"
- In "My interface connects to" I've selected "Internet"

I turn the WiFi ON/OFF manually. (For power saving reasons, I don't want it to be ON when I can't use it)
Youc an also use MoDaCo NoData utility to explicitly disable GPRS and other mobile data connections.
You need to register to download.
Alternatively, Schaps Advanced Config V3.3 has the same disable in its advanced settings, but its buried a bit too deep in the menu's.
On my Diamond, I had a handy little application called NoData which deactivated data connections so that I didn't get charged for using mobile internet by mistake.
Is there any way to do the same thing on the HD2?
Thx.
I am also looking for an app that can do this.
I'm off abroad in a couple of weeks and I am already having nightmares about the bill I may have when I return if I can't find a way to deactivate the data!

Just use the same app
Grtz,
Degake
there is a app out there called...................nodata
oh, are you sure it works on the HD2?
nodata works fine but i use bsb tweaks to disable data connections manually before crossing the border so i can enable it just in case
Since I have no data plan with my carrier i disable connections not referring to WIFI alltogether, I just go to Settings, connections, menu, connections, advanced, select network, and put "work network" (or something, I have it in italian) to both.

there is a vey simple way to deactivate the data connection: long press the on/off key and you will get a little menu: one of the menu items is deactivate data connection. Press it and it's done.

That terminates it, but it doesn't stop it coming back on when an app tries to use it.
Is there a reason that no-one has suggested airplane mode?
no cab needed, the answer is on the HTC site:
How do I disable my 3G/GPRS Data Connection?
Follow the steps below to ensure that your phone will never connect to a GPRS/3G Data Connection.
1. Go to Start > Settings > Menu > All Settings > Connections > Connections
2. Tap Add a new modem connection > then under Select a modem, select Celluar Line (GPRS) > Name the Connection "Offline" >Tap Next.
3. In the Access point name text box input "Offline" and tap Next.
4. On the next page tap Finish.
5. On the second Connections Menu, tap Manage existing connections and select "Offline" then click OK.
Re-enable the data connection if you want to connect to the internet via 3g/Edge.
1. From the home screen, slide to the Settings tab, Wireless Controls > Data Connection.
2. Select your Country and Operator
3. Tap OK.
4. On the subsequent screen, tap Yes.
The phone will automatically configure itself with the appropriate settings.
Note: When disabling the connection in this way, your phone may report errors when trying to connect to "Offline." The error is caused by the phone being unable to connect to a data source due to the settings, and is normal.

This is what i want to know. How can we auto disconnect data connection after certain period of time. For example if i set up my device to update weather every hour using EDGE, it wont disconnect automatically but i want it to auto disconnect once the weather is updated regardless of i notice it or not. How do we achieve that?
Hello, I have installed the modaco no data app and it works a treat.

you don't need anything. just read the manual
You could use the application "Data Controller", i have it installed cause this annoyed me aswell.
Data controller allows you to shut down any non-wifi signal your phone is currently transmitting (like the data link & wap etc.)

Thank you for the hint, but searching for it I found a new 'version' updated to work with Manila Windows Phone, called Manila Dial-up Enabler/Disabler.
Now what I do need, it is to find a way to use facebook through wifi/wlan ..
Has anybody already discovered how to have facebook using only wifi or activesync connections?
I will Copy/Paste the steps since new users cant post links
