i found that in the settings, we are only able to switch both Data&MMS enable or disable.
This there anyway to disable Data, but keeping the MMS alive.
i tried APNdroid, but after awhile, even i switch off from the APNdroid widget, i still can see the data connection come back alive..
please help!
ApnDroid works fine for me. I have MMS enabled and it never starts data connections without touching the widget.
APNdroid works for first few time switching on and off...
after that even it is off, notification stated off.
i'm seeing the data connection goes off for about 2-3seconds and come back alive.
Mine stays off, and I use it a lot of times a day! It seems I cannot help U
Search the market for an App called: "Toggle Data Widget" by Cameron Murphy.
It does exactly what you asked for...
its does work but mms is disable as well. Will try the toggle data widget.
What about APN on off by Curvefish?
It has the option to turn on MMS when you turn off APN.
It's working for me
Juice Defender will do it too...

Is there way I can permanently turn off data so that programs like mail and weather do not automatically connect to it and turn it. I don't have a data plan so I don't want to be charged for it. The only reason i don't just delete the AT&T media net settings is because I need it when I want to use MMS.
Search on "NoData".
the problem with no data is that i cant reconnect to media net after i disable it. so im looking for an alternate solution
In that case as far as I can tell, you'll probably need to turn off the relevant settings for weather and mail, etc.
That's what I figured is the only solution, but sometimes the phone will just automatically connect to data so that there is the symbol on the top bar and when I go to the communications screen, the data switch is off. Will I be charged just for being connected or only if I download something. Basically is it charged by just bytes downloaded or also by time connected.
Yeah I had the same problem when I was roaming abroad. Every day it connected at night and used for approx. 1euro50 data. By the time I was back home I received a 45 euro bill! I also disabled weather, sync and stocks. No idea what application using data connection...
MoDaCo noData allows you to turn off Internet, WAP, and MMS independently. Why is this not a suitable solution?
Yes I have searched for this but I just get threads that tell you how to put a quicklink on to turn them off. Basically everytime I unlock the phone it automatically connects to 3G, how can I turn this off?
TIA
Still got this problem, it seems to happen when I get texts or calls as well. The display will
light up and connects the 3G, even happens overnight and uses a lot of the battery. I've turned all the auto stuff off but it still does it! Any ideas???
to stop 3g altogether you can try.... settings menu all settings connections advanced networks and disable hsdpa.
Hi there
in the wireless controls the data connection (set up datta connection) seetings always stays on. When i manually turn this off i have no problems recieving and sending MMS but this only lasts for a minute and then i cant send mms or receive, i then check the wireless controls again and notice the data connection set up tab has been switched back on!!!!!!....... i have to keep going back and forth to turn this off each time i rec or send mms??
I am on T-mobile UK with an unlimited data plan
The data connection is whst is used to go on the net... MMS uses a separate connection, and AFAIK both can't be active at the same time.
So yes, that's what you need to do. When you turn data connection off it will turn on by itself again as soon as any program wants to access the net, be it auto weather/facebook/twitter/mail updates or something you check yourself.
Interesting, I've rarely seen people using MMS regularly... you seem to be a rare species
ok mmmmmm so how is this going to make things simple for me to be able to send mms as i though the hd2 was all about communication....lol......so what u are saying is that i need to go back and turn the data connection setting thing off everytime i wanna send or rec mms!!!!
Hi,
I have been using HD2 for a week now and I have noticed that the data connection with my mobile operator (O2 UK) starts automatically each time.
I notice this when I see the 3G or H or E symbol on top, then I have to go to data connection and switch it off.
If I call someone, hang the phone down and then lock it and if I unlock the phone after sometime I see the data connection turned on again.
Anyone know why this happens? Is there any way I can only turn it on when I want it and not all the time? I keep my wifi connected when I am at home.
As far as I know the apps I have are configured to not connect automatically...
metal675, couple of places to check. On your device, open activesync->menu->schedule and make sure the schedule for both peak and off peak times is set to manual. Next, go to the settings tab in manila and select location and untick HTC location service. Not sure if you've already done these or not, but these are the two things I know. Hope that helps.

Also deactivate everything in data services.
If deactivating everything wont help, please check if you closed Palringo properly (if you use it at all). Had the same problem and couldn`t figure it out - which process is turning 3G on itself. Found Palringo making problem. Closing by X doesn`t help (even when it`s not in ComManager). You have to close it by Menu>Exit to make sure.

You can also try deactivating data connections using bsbtweaks. It's an option which should prevent your device from automatically connecting whenever it pleases.
Thx all.
I think it was the location service which did the trick. I had missed that one.
Had switched off automatic update setting for all the other apps. Looks like it is working now and I dont see data connection being started now.
if your planning on using the data services alot then it might be worth getting the unlimited data/internet bolt on for £7.50 that way you dont have to worry about it, thats what i do. keeps me updated on twitter, facebook and handy for the weather as well
Thanks.
I already have the unlimited internet...but as you know its never unlimited.
Dont want my usage to be exhausted when I am not using the phone...I would rather prefer to use the internet when I need it for FB, twitter, weather etc
Hi guys,
As the tile says, is there an application that can disconnect the data connections (3g or wifi) when IDLE or by timer?
Thanks a lot for sharing!!!
this is the application already mentioned quite a few times here on the forum.
go to *Leo Hints, Tips and Registry Tweaks* which is stickie.
look here. might want to try tip no70.
I'm using it for months. does the 3G things you want it to do. great app.
Thanks a lot but those programs don't work for me. I don't know why. I turn the 3G on and it never turns off by itself...i still have to turn it off manually.
any suggestions?
the bandswitcher app.
start it. on screen activate the auto disconnect, set time. press save and tap auto.
works perfectly for me.
I do not activate 3g manually. it activates automatic then something wants internet conn
are you running cleanram? I had the problem it closed the app.

I'm using Chucky's GTX rom 6.5.5. Maybe that's why?
When I set to close idle connection in 100seconds it doesnt close it manually.
Can you show me a screenshot of your settings? Thanks a lot!!
You can use PhoneAlarm, it's not free but it worth the money.
In each profile, you can set a timer for your data connection, or completly disable it during night for example.
