Hi All,
I have a HTC TD2
I am wondering if there is a way to set up auto turn off data connection after x mins of not using data connection? then when launch application that requires data connection, it will automatically connect?
my data connection is 3g.
Thanks!
Try this ap, I haven't used it as I have unlimited data but it should do what you want.
Original thread and developer are here.

Is there a way to make sure I do not use Cingular Data Service for any internet?
I have it all set to my Wifi only, but when i turn WIFI off and try the net, It still loads pages! I hope i am not using data? I do not have a data plan, yet.
Any thoughts?
How do i completley disable gprs?
Not wishing to be funny.....but are you sure that it's not loading the page from cache?
delete the gprs data setting in connections.
Hi All,
New to my fantastic HD Touch so apologise if this is an obvious question..
If I have wifi enabled and data connection enabled, if i go onto the internet or, say, Youtube for aguments sake, will it use the Wifi connection as a priority over the data connection?
I ask because i want to keep my bills down without having to manually keep turning the data connection off (it connects every 5 mins to check for email)
Thanks
Loving this forum by the way!!
Depends on how the connection is set up. You can check your config by going to settings->connections->connections->advanced->select networks
There is then a drop down under the heading "Programs that automatically connect to the internet should connect using:". When I bought mine this was set to "Contract Internet" which basically means my vodafone data connection. I managed to run up a bill of over £50 before I spotted this (this was before I moved to a decent data package).
I changed this setting to "My Work Network" and it then used the wifi in preference to the cell connection. However, I think (although haven't scientifically tested) that if a program gets a cell connection before the wifi is activated then it may not automatically switch over if wifi is subsequently enabled.
BTW I tested all this using a $10 app called GPRS Traffic Monitor (which can monitor HSDPA as well as GPRS) to see if the traffic figures rose while browsing the net with wifi on and off. After changing my settings the data usage figures only went up if wifi was off.
Is there a way to allow the phones data connection to connect and then turn itself off again?
For example, I have my work email set to sync every 4 hours, I usually have my data connection turned off to save battery life. So when it comes to sync time the data connection turns itself on, I get my emails sync'd but the data connection stays on, wasting battery life! Not good... is there a way to allow the data connection to turn itself off?
Also, how do I set up my internet connection so that when I have a wifi connection (which has already been setup) available it connects to that automatically instead of the data connection?
Thanks.

By default, if you're connected to a wi-fi, it should be automatically chosen to connected to the internet. Only in absence of wi-fi that data connection (3G) is invoked.

Actually, there's no impact on battery usage when you're on data connection. Jade was design to work on 3G connection. There's a thread discussing this subject.
AFAIK, there's no way to automatically disconnect data when your'e done
When i'm home i've connected my HD2 to wifi. When i'm using programs who use a dataconnection (f.i. opera) how do i make sure these programs use wifi first if available and use 3G GPRS when there's no wifi connection available?
Thanks
Simple, make sure that data connection is off when you are at home, turn wifi on, login to your router at home and you can be sure that all apps are going to use wifi instead of data connection over 3G.
When your data connection over 3G is off and you start any app which requires (let me call this) `data transfer` - your data connection over 3G will turn itself on (3G has higher priority than Wifi and has been set-up as default).
From other point of view - when you turn on any data connection (over WiFi or 3G) and than lets say Opera, Opera will work under this particular connection. Example : You turned data connection over 3G on, than Opera, than Wifi. Turn 3G off and try to do any action with Opera (ex. link click, whatever which requires transfer of data) you will see data connection over 3G turning itself on again (even if there is Wifi still available).
Thanks for yor answer. Is it possible to change the priorities with a registry adjustment?
You only need MoDaCo NoData.
You can easily turn off every data connection with it. WiFi stays on tho.
I always use that tool when i dont want data conn to be on.
I'm just wondering does the hd2 automatically choose wifi over data connection if they are both enabled?
Or do I have to close the data connection under comm manager to force the hd2 using wifi?
Thanks.
from my own personal experience it chooses wifi.
i've watched youtube vids etc without if effecting my 3G/HSPA download quota.
