How do you get online on your X1?
I use WiFi connectivity.
I use wifi pretty rarely (even though its available at home and in the office) ...have an unlimited data plan so its 3G/HSDPA all the way for me
Can I suggest a POLL format for this thread?
Would allow people to click their response, and you to see & track proportions (and the rest of us interested parties too!)
Data plan only (3G/HSDPA/GPRS)
WIFI only
Mix of data plan & WIFI
Neither / Only use data rarely
Haha, I did post a poll but it didn't show up. I'll try it again.
i have unlimited data and wifi hot spots with my tarrif but as yet havent used a hot spot lol i use use the data tho its abit slow as 3g coverage is poor where i live
I put 3G and Wifi
Most of the time I'm using HSDPA, but do sometimes drop back to EDGE.
Wi-Fi only ftw !!!!!!!!!! Wi-Fi is basically available anywhere these days. Why bother paying for something you could get for free? I get that there are situations like emergencies and the like, but still, free of charge forever.
P.S. When I saw that poll I was like:

Bump, I want to see more votes and opinions.

I heard that if your 3G Connection drops you use EDGE for free.
I also heard that you can also order an EDGE data plan but you are blocked from 3G Data plan.
But someone should clarify this for me.

Depends on the country/carrier.
But i've only seen the 3G icon about twice :S
Unlimited AT&T 3G/HSPDA ($15/month) plus WI-FI where available, mostly at home.
Does anybody know how to disable automatic internet connecting?
I mean, when i don't want anything from the internet, X1 is always trying' to connect to the internet. where is that option like: "disable automatic connecting" or somethink like that... it drives me crazy....

Start Menu > Settings > Connections > Connections > manage existing connections > tap and hold all the connections you see > tap on delete.
Done...if you can't do this...shame on society
Now you can use Wi-Fi without worrying about accidental 3G or media.net or EDGE access.
I sometimes use active sync, but if it's plugged into my laptop, there's not much of need for me to use internet on the X1.
I sometimes use WiFi at home and work, but the same thing - I can use my laptop or PC for the net, don't need it on the X1 much.
I have a data plan, but live in a roaming area, so limit my carrier usage around here. The signal isn't the best and the phone changes between 3G & EDGE automatically. When I head to the city it's HSDPA
hey guys
another question?
I was once bitten by a huge telephone bill where I had to pay 300$ since it seemed that when my wifi gets disconnected I was browsing using some other data connection method without me realizing that.
SO how could I 100% disable all data connection, and only have the wifi be the only way to use for internet access
thanks

Use the following app 'no data' which I've attached and toggle off Internet & wap. This way only wifi is available. If you need to use data connection again, just toggle it back on.
Hi all.
I just got a Nexus One and was wondering if there is a way to disable any data connections EXCEPT Wifi? I do not have a data plan w/AT&T any longer, but use a VZW Mifi modem as a wifi connection and do not want to incur any additional data charges with AT&T.
Thanks

I use APNDroid from the app store. or i beleive you can manually go in and change the APN to somthing else
ok in WM you can tell the phone to use the computers data connection rather than 3G, ie using your desktop computer and home LAN and it'll update the weather on the handset with out the data charges.
Can the hero do this? Does the question even make sense?
Why not just use wifi?

Because I'm guessing that wifi isn't always available. For example, when I'm at work it would be good to use the PC's internet connection to download app updates rather than relying on the ropey 3G connection - WinMob has been able to do this from the beginning IIRC.
Sorry I was thinking the desktop would be using wifi, presumably you mean using the data cable to connect?
I know this maybe an odd question, as why would you go through your phone when you could just use your laptop wifi card but does tethering to the LG E900 WP7 via usb also work if the phone is connected to a wifi network and the data turned off?
If for example, your wifi adapter on your laptop went belly up, could you use your phone to connect to your network and use it as a modem?
Or if you had no password on your laptop for the network but the phone had the password saved and you did not have the resources to retrieve it from the phone?
Just wondering as i think there is an app that does this on iphone.
Also Has anyone been able to tether using a blue tooth connection? I used to be able to do this on my old nokia 6110. lol

Interesting. Do you need to get out of diagnosis mode to use the phone once you're done tethering?
Don't know. Haven't tested the solution.
