Hay all,
I downloaded the HDTweak last night an set it up to disconnect from a data connection after 1 min.
A mate sent me a picture message which uses Orange Internet / Orange MMS.
Sure enough after 1 mine after it had been recieved an MMS it dissconnected.
But later in the evening I got another MMS I checked an it hadn't disconnected & had been on for 45 mins!
Basic:
1. Is there a better way for this to DEFO disconnect after recieveing an MMS?
2. If left open are there any charges?
3. I've noticed it go from G to H to E during / after it has recieved an MMS would the
change affect it auto disconnetion?
I'm quite new to all this an havin't done any ROM-ing an don't really want to just yet.
Many Thanks
I too am having a similar problem (and new to Win Mobile). I'm on the stock Orange phone, ROM version 1.19.61.1 WWE.
If I use Opera or Email, once I close the application (and I'm making sure its closed and not in background). The data connection stays active (confirmed by checking Comm Manager).
I installed HDTweak and set disconnect to 1 minute, however after leaving it for 30mins the connection was still there.
For such an advanced phone, there must be a way to disconnect the data connection when the applications using it have shutdown?
The data connection will only disconnect if its not being used.
Although u maynot think its being used, apps like Quick GPS, RSS Hub, Manila Weather, Manila Stock have an auto upate option.
If you check the options for these apps and make sure they aint set to auto update then that might help solve the prob.
Personally I use 'No Data' software which gives you the option to 'toggle' either Internet, MMS and WAP on or off.
I mostly surf via wifi and update weather, emails, stock etc via wifi so its a handy piece of software to have as I have Internet & WAP disabled constantly so phone only uses wifi connection I have active.
If you want to use Orange Internet via data connection (GPRS etc) you can 'toggle' internet On, then once you have finished using it, toggle it Off again

Open each app i.e. QuickGPS then click on Menu > Options > and untick 'Auto download when data expires'
For weather & stock tabs, click on each then menu > settings > and make sure auto download is unticked
Follow same procedure for other apps installed
There is a very easy alternative that I use always....Press the end call button once (vibrates once) that is pre assigned to end data connection.
You should see the icon change form 3G/HSPDA to the earth logo and hey presto all offline.

I recently got the HD, but since I live in Canada I figured it wasn't worth it to get a data plan (Can only use EDGE and prices are outrageous). As such, I'm wondering if there are any apps or methods to block data.
I would still want to be able to use wifi for internet and such, but stop EDGE from working. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you!
Goto the Comm Manager and turn Data Connection off? Don't know what that does to wifi which has a seperate on/off? That failing, could you not disable data from your operator?
what works for me is to set networks for automatic internet access to "company network":
Start - settings - connections tab - connections icon - extended tab - select networks - automatic internet access => set to company network
I have a german device so had to guess english names ... be warned.
if you make the change and try to update weather data you should get an error.
Set it back to your phone provider should make it connect (and charge you) again.
I called my carrier and asked for data transfer to be blocked.
Start - Settings - Connections
Tap the Connections icon
There you might see an entry for your mobile provider - in my case I see
"Vodafone Live"
- Add a new modem
- Edit my proxy server
- Manage existing connections
Tap 'Manage existing connections'
You will see a list of modems (in my case I see 'Vodafone Live')
Tab and hold the modem
Choose delete
Anyone tried MoDaCo's NoData utility?

dwnload tweaks 3.3. There is an option to disable one or al of your data connections.
You need to install compact framework 3.5 first (google it if unsure).
Soooo i have been playing with my HD2 too much and now my mobile internet usage is close to my monthly limit.
I switched off weather, facebook & microsoft exchange active sync and switched off data services to Off in wireless controls under settings. But somehow the phone is still initializing data connection and have data coming in/out.
Is there anyway to turn off data services completely??
There is an answer for this one (one of the possible ways) on HTC official suport page under FAQ. Sorry but i can't post an external link due to spam prevention.
Kill one letter from your providers accessname. Like vodafone.de = vodafone.d If you need the access later, add the letter again.

That will give you error messages all the time though.
Go:
Windows Key
Settings
Wireless Controls
Menu (at the bottom right)
Connections
Advanced (Tab)
Select Networks (Button)
Then change "Programs that automatically connect to the internet should connect using:" to "My Work Network"
or try this one wich is working perfectly for me
go to Settings - Wireless Controls-[put 3G and Data Connection Off]
then open BsB Tweaks-Menu-Data Connection-Tick Disable in here
then restart the phone and you never use data again appart of you WiFi

Use Modaco Nodata, its a free cab you can download of its site here
http://www.modaco.com/content/pocket-pc-software/246171/new-free-utility-nodata/
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.

First disable Google Location Service.
Then disable all the HTC Sence automatic update services: Weather, stocks etc
Then make sure that automatic send/recieve for Email is disabled.
And remember Microsoft MyPhone to manual syncronication!
All this stopped my HD2 from going online then it didn't want it to!
guys, it does happen sometimes - it gets reconnected even if you try diasbling the data connection.....what works for me is..just switch the phone off and restart and then disable the data connection.

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
