Helo my beloved community!
So, since the HD2 utilizes quite a lot of the data connection quite frequently (mostly for weather updates), it would be good to have an option to disconnet the data connection automatically. I presume that this is probably a registry hack. This feature can be found for example in TD2/TP2 Tools. I don't want to wait until HD2 Tolls (or Tweaks or something else) shows up (I hope it will quickly because its always something very welcome!), so maybe someone could answer quickly where to tamper with the registry to do that?
Thx in advance!
any update on this?
my gprs doesnt shutdown when its not being used

I've used an old tweak I found which seems to have done the trick, not really watched it closely enough to find out as not had time yet.

thanks for the reply but ive installed the cab and restarted but it doesnt seem to do anything
I just did the mentioned reg edits but it didn't seem to work. Then installed the cab to countercheck for my mistake. Didnt change the result, didn't work...
Even though I noticed the CacheTime setting existed from the start and was set to 600 (10 minutes).
SuspendResume original value was "~GPRS!"
Data charges are not so much the issue, I'm just concerned it might drain the battery quicker if the connection remains open permanently.

Try to do the regedits like this:
SuspendResume=GPRS_bye_if_device_off
CacheTime=5 (decimal)
VPNCacheTime=5 (decimal)
It works on my TD2, which to my knowledge has the same WM6.5 as the HD2 does. By the way, did You set the end call button long press to "terminate data connection"? If You did, then UNDO it

Right, You can't check it, as none of the HD2's hardware buttons are configurable Just ignore that question. Anyway, I think Ive figured it out to some point. It looks like the registry hack works whenever the phone connects to the web to for example browse the internet or update stocks. But it DOESN'T WORK if the phone connects to download weather updates. It looks like the Sense weather app is somehow preventing the data connection to shut down. But I think it only happens when automatic weather updates downloading is set.
hmm you do appear to be correct... now why is the weather app hanging onto the data session
Well, just tried setting both CacheTime and VPNCachetime and when checking mail I can confirm it works.
Thanks a lot! Mail checking schedule set up.

absolutely no idea I think someone smarter than us should try to find the answer. Ive already done a rather brief look around the registry and tried to find something that would get the weather app such privileges but with no success. Im thinking of addressing a new topic about that, so its more visible to the community

Twitter app doesn't close the data connection either
This is really annoying me. My battery was draining fast and could not find out why. Now I have found out that it is because I am constantly connected to Mobile Web on O2. I have tried terminating it but it starts again. Even after unchecking auto update for weather and twitter it still turns on and never off. I have mail set to download automatically but if i turn that off too then what is the point of having this phone and feature?
I have tried the setting in HD Tweak app to turn off data after 1 minute but noy joy.
Any help? Pleaseee.

Theres one more thing you should check out. The biggest connection-demander was always the NOT PROPPERLY CLOSED OPERA. If you use the opera browser, be sure to close it NOT with the X in the upper right corner, but through Opera Menu->exit function. If you close it with X, it only goes minimized and does not shut down the connection. Even if you close it, because opera is still running, after some time it will want to refresh a page and conect again. Thats why you have the imression that the phone connects by itsself. Thats not the phone, its opera

I did the above and it works thanks!
Also as stated, weather, opera etc will keep your data connection active...so end task and it should shut down a few seconds later.

I have installed a shortcut to taskmgr in my quicklinks - so if i see something constantly running i end task...it shuts it down rather than minimising it which is what happens when you hit the little X in most cases. The taskmgr tip is in the sticky at the top of the page.

Yes I know what you mean but you can't kill the weather app or twitter in this fashion as they run within Sense itsself. Besides, killing processes is not the point. The point is to have an automatic data disconnection, so you dont have to do or kill anything

Hey guys,
Can any one tell me what the VPN cache time was originally set as?
I don't want my phone to connect to 3G or EDGE automatically, I want to manually have to switch some slider or something to avoid getting huge bills. I tried installing "Touch X add 3G commmanager.cab" which in itself seemed to work, but I don't see any extra buttons anywhere...

Go to the settings tab and open "Wireless controls". You should see a new 3G item in there.
I don't... Perhaps because I'm using the Dutch version?

Did you do a restart after installing it? It doesn't automatically do that (or even suggest it), but it does need it.
Hi guys
I've just installed Android on my HD2, with OzDroid and the mattc build. On Windows installs I always found and installed a 'DataDisconnect' shortcut to my home screen, so with 1 tap I can stop any mobileweb or other data connections currently active.
Can anyone tell me how to do this on Android, as I've been playing with it and can't figure it?
Cheers
suuuurreeeeee... here you go!

If you are talking specifically about turning the 3g/2g data connection off all you have to do is hold down the end(red button) and choose the data disconnect option....if you are referring to programs like "nodata" under windows that stop ALL data until you manually re-enable it but don't put the phone into full fledged airplane mode then the options others are giving you should put you in right area.
"apn on/off widget" from market. simle and perfect

Thanks for your replies everyone, but this bit is exactly what I was looking for. Excuse my droidy noobiness - thanks.
On the Nook in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=888216
user xboxexpert managed to unload the phone tools on the nook and stop the nook from searching for a cell network. Since a few of us are off contract, I'd love to be able to do the same on my Tab. So I tried the same, renaming the files. It didn't work. The Tab ended up in an infinite loop of trying to restart the phone when phone.apk no longer existed. I didn't dare try restarting after renaming it when it was all I could do to get the Tab stable again without infinite app crashes slowing it down.
I like to use a bluetooth keyboard at work and airplane mode disables bluetooth, so no deal there. So does anyone have an idea on how we can disable the wireless network without being in Airplane mode?
I have the same question.... I want to use my tab Wifi only... anyone find a solution?
You can switch WiFi ob when in airplane mode.
Regards,
Dave
is there a permanent solution for it?
You can go into Phone Info via *#*#4636#*#* (or create an Anycut shortcut to Phone Info, under Activites) and switch the radio off there at the bottom of the page.

I suppose if I really want to do this then I need to get the dialer working? It seems kind of roundabout, I'm trying to disable the mobile network and phone options, but in order to do that I need to make it more like a phone first? I say that because I tried Anycut and under Activities there was no "Phone Info" activity. Thanks for the thought Hairy.
This is on a stock rooted T-mobile Tab, that I'm not planning to flash just yet. Maybe when Cyanogen is in a later beta. I'm just not that deep into hacking my devices, and while I appreciate people that do I just have other priorities.

Must be a ROM issue as I'm on JM6 and the Phone Info option is there on Anycut. I went through this myself for the same reasons, so good luck
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App
i am also in perma-airplane at home and just having wifi or bluetooth enabled.
works perfectly

Rather presumptuous of you to assume that? You can use Bluetooth too (at least on the ROMs I've used)

If you have WP 8.1 dev preview you can try:
Launch Bing or Cortana
Type in ‘USB’
Swipe left to ‘phone’
Tap Settings > USB
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now we see USB settings, but I don't know whether or not the feature works. Anyway - we see so that is already in the system.
Source: http://www.wpcentral.com/bing-search-reveals-hidden-usb-settings-windows-phone-81
Weird thing...
I was browsing registry a week ago and found these settings there. I posted to the 8.1 tweaking topic about them, with a sidenote that what happened, this didnt come tothe final build. After posting I was swiping in the settings and saw the USB -settings menu there. Then I just thought I have missed the whole usb-settings in the preview and edited my post about that.
Now that I saw the news abotu this in WPC yesteday, I went to the settings and the USB -settings is not present anymore. I dont know I probably then enabled/disabled it myself then from the settings.
Posted the reg tweak to the tweaking topic how to make the usb settings menu appear in the settings.

Me too for network profile, but I enabled USB in settings, as @Loco explained here. - of course with interop unlock, using samwp8tools and regedit-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2718311&page=4
This is the command: LOCALMACHINE (check DWORD)
Path: SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shell\USB
Key: DisableUSBControlPanel
Value: 0
I've enabled both options, but they don't seem to work on my 820 (yet). Probably why the setting was hidden in the first place... :/
this is the reason...
I activated the settings but it doesn't allert me when I connect a slow charger
with web reg you can see there are more keys to USB :
possibly just a complete coincidence but not long after enabling this I started getting issues with the phone charging, in that it wouldn't charge or connect via USB, a reset fixed it and not been an issue since. probably nothing but if more folk find this happening it might be worth while keeping track of it to potentially warn others.
after all, its not as if these settings are super secrete or against the wishes of the networks so the settings are not live for a reason....perhaps that's it.
food for thought
