Turn GPRS OFF!

Hello,
How do I turn GPRS OFF On an Xda Exec?
I have a successful WiFi connection set up to my Works Netork and I want to browse the internet via that. However, GPRS just will not GO AWAY & keeps on insisting that IT rather what I WANT is the route to the internet.
Hence I want it gone, nada, no more.
I can safely say that I will NEVER browse the net using GPRS or poxy WAP sites - excessively expensive crapola!
Thanks in advance,
Andy

and me! been searching but no luck yet!

not sure about 2005 but with 2003 i can just choose which connection i wanna use in connection->advanced

If you never going to use GPRS, just delete the settings:
Settings->Connections->Connections, under My ISP choose 'Manage existing connections', then long click on the GPRS setting (not sure what the name in your case will be, but it is probably the only one there) then choose delete.
You are now safe from GPRS charges.

there is not option to delete?

It is possible that on your phone the connection is set up under 'My work network', try checking there. Somewhere there should be a connection with your GPRS settings and you should be able to delete it.

i must be going blind, there is no option to delete, just edit or add

You are not going blind.
On the dialog it self there are two buttons 'Edit' and 'New'.
But if you tap and hold the connection it self (see little circles) you get a pop-up menu saying 'Delete' and 'Connect'.
It works on my Jamin, and it should work for you.

aaahhh now youre talking! ok i'll give that a go ta

oh bugger, ok thats worked BUT i thinki deleted my phone settings as now it cant find the network for calls, pratt, anyone got the setting so i can ut them back in, i dint reallt want to reset it after i got everything else working!

got it working now! ta

Same problem here, however I would like to use GPRS occasionally, so do not really want to delete the setting.
Example whilst at home, I want to use wi-fi, on the road GPRS.
Is there any tools that can turn GPRS on and off ?

Just press the E or G icon on the top bar and you should have the option to disconnect. That is, if you've enabled GPRS Disconnect in your registry. Works like a charm. Whenever I want to connect via WiFi, I just disconnect GPRS and fire up WiFi...

Disable Data and stay off!

I do not have Data on my contract (orange) and am quite happy using Wifi at home and work,but I find my phone likes to switch over when it feels like it to HSDPA etc.
In options I switch data to off but my phone likes to overide this! I have to race to switch it off to avoid an enhanced monthly bill!
Does anyone know how to stop this?
Thanks

Your phone will use which ever is giving the best signal - I would imagine wifi by default...

Or Try app like NoDate

omg, this is the zillion time when somebody ask that question
why don't you use the search option? as somebody said, "search is your friend".
ok, i will write here what can you do, beside use nodata or other application
maybe a mod can add it to wiki...
so:
settings-connections-connections-advanced-select networks
go to "Programs that automatically connect to the Internet..."
on the pop up menu chose each option that includes your phone network operator (in my case is Orange and one of the options looks like "Orange Internet") - edit - proxy settings and here uncheck the box "This network connects to the Internet"
repeat the procedure for each option that has your operator name included
a soft reset may be recomended but not absolutely necessary!
after that the network icon (G or E or whatever) will be gray and no data transmission will be allowed. if it is not grey, then your settings are not right.
et voila! There you are!
good luck!

again thanks!

How to STOP internet?

This seems a dumb question, but cant find the answer...
I go on the internet for a few mins, cose down the internet, then (discovered this by accident) if i cick on the top task bar (notification) it says i am connected to orange internet for xx time (and increasing) why doesnt the internet connection stop when i shut down the application....????
thanks

Once your device connects to GPRS/3G, it stays connected, that's normal. If you want to disconnect manually just go to the settings tab in TouchFlo, go to Communications and toggle the 'Data Connection' slider to 'Off'.

"permanently" turn off, gprs/hsdpa/3G, is it possible?

Heey Guys,
I have another question for you..
Is there anyway to switch my gprs, hsdpa, 3g off, so they can NEVER turn on automatically?
So i cannot update stocks, the weather, or go on the internet without permission or only with wifi!!?
Thanx a lot.
Mike

You could use NoData or delete all Your GSM Provider Connection Settings.

Hi -just go to Settings > Connections (tab on the bottom)
Then click Connections icon and go to Advanced (tab on bottom)
Hit " New" Internet connection (box at the top)
Type in any name you want with no settings ,then click OK ,ect.
Next time you click on the weather or internet it will come up with an "connection error "
hehe!
I mistakenly thought the weather was free - i'll look out the window now.
Cheers

Normally, if you cannot get connection via 3G, it's either due to the 3G network unavailability or the settings have changed (due to whatever reason, which do sometimes happen). Maybe you need to check the settings which must correspond to that set by the 3G network provider.

You can delete the program. ( settings - system - remove programs)
or if you want to retain the program, just delete the *.lnk file in directory \windows. This way you can only run the program from program directory/folder
