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 Bubble When Connection Connects to 3G?

Does anyone know how to disable the bubble that pops up when the connection goes from no data to data (2g to 3g)? I know when it disconnects and goes back to 2g (or when data is off), nothing pops up and just shows in the icon.
Thanks!

do you mean when it connects?
If so, go to settings, sounds and notifications, events, in the drop down list scroll to connection established and uncheck 'show message on screen'

Thanks, i was looking for that too.

thanks! good info

Woot~! Nice, i had no idea i could turn that off until now. Ahhh, i love forums

ThanX a Million!!
No more annoying messages!!

Yea, this was something in Tytn2 (kaiser). When i was following tht forum, i remember that - I haven't seen it here yet, but i think it's registry related if u want to search the kaiser forum?

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'.

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
Prevent your phone from using the data connection when you want to ensure that it will never connect to the Internet via GPRS/3G.
On the Home screen, slide to the Settings tab and then tap Wireless controls.
1-Tap Menu > Connections and then tap Add a new modem connection.
2-Enter Offline as the name of the connection.
3-In the Select a modem list, select Cellular Line (GPRS), and then tap Next.
4-Enter Offline as the access point and then tap Next.
5-Tap Finish.
6-Tap Manage existing connections and then select Offline.
7-Press BACK and then tap Done.
Restoring the data connection:
1-On the Home screen, slide to the Settings tab and then tap Wireless controls.
2-Tap Menu > Connections and then tap Manage existing connections.
3-Tap the name of your mobile operator's data connection.
4-Press BACK and then tap Done.
Hope this will help
