i just bought a htc Magic. I do not have a date plan!
How do i block all the applications that use the interent so i don't get charged for using data?
But
When i am in a wifi area i want to be able to use the applications like internet because it will be free because it is WIFI.
I have bin trying to research the htc magic... Not sure exactly what rooting is but i am interested in loading a custom driver or something along those lines. i want to be able to install apps on my memory card and remove stock apps that come with my "Rogers provider" and apps like "market"
Can anyone help me?
My HTC info
Model Number: HTC Magic
Build number: 3.05.631.7 CL#118917

The simple solution is to rename your default APN to something else.
For example:from default to default_off.
You can find this settings under settings->Wireles&Networks->Mobile Networks.
Or download application like "Apn switch" from market that wil do the same
Joze
there is no Wireles&Networks in the setting option there is Wireless controls.
Can some one help me? i want to restrict my apps on my HTC magic from using data from rogers. But if i am in wifi i don't care if they get information from that(like weather market etc.).
Also how do i delete stock apps that came on my HTC because i go into my all program and there is crappy rogers apps and some crappy HTC apps i can't delete
( i have bin getting texts fROM rogers saying that i am trying to use data)
please can some one help me. If i need a custom rom i will do that if necessary.( i like that stock rom that came with my HTC tho)
Well, have you looked in there for mobile networks and APNs or Access point names?
I have Android 2.1 installed and so I have diferent settings menu.
ok i found something that says APN i typed in default_off and saved it. ( before it said something with rogers name in it)
So now my phone woun'r try and use data?
Actualy you should have changed APN type not APN name from default to something else.
Sorry I was not clear anough.
Yes changing the name does nothing, you will need to either delete the APN settings called Rogers or Rogers MMS and/or blank all the settings in the Rogers APN.
Custom ROM's are not always needed to install apps from the sdcard. Just install Astro File Manager from the Market (free) then go to the root of your sdcard and click on the app/apk you have on your sdcard and allow it to install.
Also do not delete the Market that it used to get the apps you want using wifi unless you are downloading the apk and putting them on your sdcard to install.
You need to edit the APN and change the APN address that says something like "rogers-core-appl1.apn" to something else. Problem is, I'm pretty sure this will get repopulated on reboot.
Why not just call Rogers and have them block ALL mobile data on your account, then you have no worries.
waaaaaait a minute.
correct me if im wrong but isnt this a simple way of doing this:
settings --> wireless controls --> uncheck mobile network
for me (running official rogers 1.5 rom with sense UI update), this turns off all data services and maintains voice functionality.
when i turn on wifi and connect to a wifi network, my data services are good to know as they automatically use the wifi connection.
shouldnt this do the trick? or do not all ROMs have the setting above that i mentioned?
i wasn't able to go into Access Point names and delete Rogers but i went in and changed APN and APN address and changed it to default_off. But then i changed MMSC: "i'm not able to show you the adress" to blank. After i did that it let me delete the hole access point thanks everyone i think its going to work now haven't bin getting any e-mails from rogers.
Yea ill try asking them to block ALL mobile data to my account. But not sure if they will because they normally don't sell smart phones without a data plan.
Yea i all ready downloaded and installed astro file manager. Ill just load up apps from the pc because i think market uses mobile data because when i go to use it it says "Background data disabled"... And I'm not sure if i should enable it.
thanks everyone think it's all good now
"background data" what dose that mean? dose it mean mobile data usage or dose it just mean programs running in the background
Apps running in the background is what android does anyway. "Background data" is exactly what it says "data" that happens in the "background"(IE: when you exit the app). "Data" being information that transfers over the mobile data network.
Edit: On my MT3G on T-Mobile, changing the APN so that it's invalid (example, my APN is epc.tmobile.com I simply took out the periods) disables the data connection. It was not corrected by a reboot. However, I'm on Cyanogenmod 5.0.7 test5, not a default rom.
I'm a little confused. should i enable "background data"?
But keep in mined i don't want to use mobile data.. i only use wifi
......... bump...

I went through the flashing okay. And I was even able to unlock and do everything else including getting a code from MS. But when I get to the step that says run connection set up, it tells me that my carrier is not in the database and then tells me to manually set up my APN.
I know I did everything else okay, but I know I can't edit my HD2 registry settings because of this. And my market and xbox features don't work because of this issue.Please, if anyone has had this experience, or knows why I'm getting a "carrier not in database" when I run HTC Connection set-up. I would greatly appreciate it. I hope I'm not the only one having this issue.
Same problem here. Whats your carrier?
I already tried to add the keys manually using a registry editor. However it didn't work and the phone has locked itself again. Now I cannot even unlock it anymore using chevron (it says no connection) so I cannot launch any registry editor or try something else. Probably I have to flush it again. However what I still really need is a solution to this problem with the carrier.
I have solved the problem. My carrier is a small carrier from austria (bob). It seems that the HTC tool simply doesn't have any data for this carrier (the tool in win mobile 6.5 has known bob...). I used another sim from another austrian carrier (a1), whith this i was able to run the tool and add the registry data!
The Connection Setup didn't work for me too. Just ask your provider for the APN (Access Point Name) the Username and the Password and type it in Settings-network- add APN. Thats all.
For A1 /bob its:
APN: A1.net
User: [email protected]
Password: ppp
Yes, but entering the APN has not been the problem. I wanted to use the Connection Setup to add registry keys according to the WP7 guide. However, I already have solved this by using another sim of another carrier.
@oscar2010 did this work for u too?
I Love WP7. i got everything to work. the unlocker and sideloading apps.

Do the following Steps:
Go into Settings
Select Cellular
At the bottom screen select "add apn"
Type "wap.cingular" in the APN field
Press the check sign to save.
Soft reset your phone and you should have data access
Also make sure you have "Data connection" On

I have the exact same issue. Down to even the same radio. Has this issue been resolved with the APN? I have no problem with data just MMS. I can neither send nor receive.
I tried:
wap.cingular alone and with the [email protected] CINGULAR1 username and password combination
proxy
ism.cingular
isp.cingular
I checked my girlfriends Samsung WinPhone 7 config on AT&T and it lists no APN settings at all yet MMS works without issue.
I am at a road block here and MMS is something I use for work almost daily. I would really hate o have to go back to WinMo 6.5.
Thanks for your time everyone,
Mike

Always use Connection Setup when setting after a hard reset or new flash. Do manual setup if no other work around. The new ROM's have a new database of carrier settings to automate connection setups.
ive looked through different threads and tried some of them but after booting to nand android i cantn send pics..i can recieve but not send...anybody else had this problem or know how to fix it?
heres is the android rom i have
DFT Android ROM for HTC LEO
===========================
This ROM was created on stock HTC Desire ROM base.
Main goals was to make ROM as close as possible to HTC Desire official stock rom.
i even copied what the thread said here http://http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=893948&highlight=problem+mms but it still didnt work
Hi,
You need to Google for your carriers APN settings and enter them correctly in Settings > Wireless and Networks > Mobile Networks > Access Point Names > Add New.
What you might want to try is following the above instruction but instead of delete the setting, press the menu button while in APN Settings and select reset defaults. then reselct your provider's setting from the list. You might need to toggle airplane mode on and off to re-establish a connection.
Depending on your carrier there are size limits to what you can send.
For instance, mine is 300kb on T-Mobile, you can adjust the size settings if you go into messaging, menu, settings, down to mms settings, try changing to 600 first, if not change to 300
(This is all dependant on you having the correct settings, if you do, try my advice)
thanks guys..i had to google my settings and found unlockr.com had them
thanks or all informations
Hello,
I need help to fix my mobile data network problem. I installed rom 2.6.8 and everything is working fine except the data network. WiFi is working fine.
Do I need to re-install the rom again and if so then I loose all settings and lot of stuff to be re-installed.
Can anyone help me to restore my data network? Please help.
I don't think you have to re-install everything. you only have to set up an APN.
Go to Settings, under Mobile networks, then choose Access Point Names.
you can see at least the original one provided by your carrier (in my case it was Turkcell internet).
if you can, stay in this screen and press the bottom left button, the menu key.
then you should see a menu bar show up at the bottom of the screen, with 2 choices: "chose your APN" or "Reset to default".
just hit "reset to default", then it will start running and within seconds you can see the APN has changed!
If you want, reboot your phone and coming up again!!!!
I hope that it can be usefull for you..
Regardss..

But this time, you have to use some backup program like Mybackup pro or titanium Backup in order to backup your data and programs.
I do need some serious help. I had to add APN manually on any HWA ICS rom, MIUI, Paranoid Android or Tytung's CM9. and after adding APN manually and rebooting the phone or switching on then off the airplane mode brings on the mobile data. everything was working fine until last three days, no mobile data is coming live. don't know why but it is terribly disturbing. I have tried every possible way to brings back the mobile data, from resetting back to default to installing ROM freshly, all three variants of rom - MIUI latest, Paranoid Android 1.4a and Tytung's version 2.2. But mobile data is not coming on - whether in default APN setting or entering APN manually - no help.
I tried the same SIM on another phone and mobile data works fine, so my operator has no problem at their side.
Can anyone help me to fix it on my HD2. I am really troubled here.
Did you make a fresh install or just installed over your ROM?
before frew days i have installed the NexusHD2-ICS-CM9 ...very cool rom,but my data connection dosen't work...i have read for the problem in the forum..but data connection dont work..i wipped cache,reinstall rom several times,install zip-s for fixing...wifi i's great,everything works fine....just i want to fix that..10x for advice.. sry if i missing something

Please post with a clear title. Also, give us some more information, such as which bootloader you used, which network you're on, whether or not the APN settings are correct etc.

Go to settings>more (under wireless and networks)>mobile networks>access point names. It should automatically detect them, but sometimes you have to input them manually, or just have to select one (even had to choose the correct one on my Dad's SGS3) and data should work. If you need to input them manually, you'll have to either find the correct settings on the internet or contact your carrier/provider and ask for them. There's an app in the ROM called 'SIM Tool Kit' which is supposed to send the settings to your phone but it comes up with an error message for me, but try it anyway.
Oh and thanks for editing the title, this is the first time someone's actually changed it after I pointed it out to them.
Windows mobile has been doing it longer.
