it is because i am worried that while roaming, the set may go on internet.. for example wayfinder..
tried the connection manager.. i switched data off.. but wayfinder just goes online itself..
any tweak or problem to enable me to :"lock" data access?
I have downloaded the "No Data" program from the below site and it works brilliantly, you manually go into the program and disable any connections you dont want active
http://www.modaco.com/content/xperi...4005/pauls-must-have-free-xperia-x1-software/
does it prevent the connection from becoming active or its only good for terminating connections after they connected>
cant seem to d/l it.. any direct links?
or anymore recommendations>
This program completly stops the connection being established in the first place. If you try to connect to the internet while the connections are disabled, you get an error message saying it wont connect to any networks and you have to enable that connection.
Sorry, i cant get any direct links at the min,
CommMgrPro lets you disable all the data connections automatically when your device is in roaming mode...
No Data works perfectly
No Data probably works 100% (haven't tried it), but here's what I do - go into Start --> Settings --> Connections --> Connections --> advanced --> Select Networks.
If your normal internet settings are called "My ISP", click new and create a blank group called "No Settings".
For both internet and work drop downs select "No Settings".
That way, when it tries to connect, it won't go through the "My ISP", but through "No Settings" (for which there aren't internet settings).
Dear ALL,
I need to know how to disable data Connection (Edge, 3G), because my device sometimes connect to Edge or 3G service automatically, I dont have any running programms that needs data connection or auto update !!!
At the same time I want my phone to connect only when recieving MMS messages !
Please advice !
Hi there,
you can install 'HD Tweak' and Disable the items in 'Data (GPRS/EDGE/HSDPA)'.
You can also try Nodata application from Modaco
=> http://www.modaco.com/content/pocket-pc-software/246171/new-free-utility-nodata/
Edit : Caution, Nodata stop ALL data (MMS too) so cymagnus's solution is better
nodsata can toggle mms on/off.
I cant get that HD Tweak to open, all i get is a long page full of codes and such, any suggestions?

Can you not do it manually like this? Start/Settings/Connections Tab/Connections button/Advanced tab/Select Networks button. Then in the pop up where it says "Programs that automatically connect to the Internet should connect using:
Select "MY ISP".
I think MMS will still run?
I have done it and it works, thanx alot

ahmad which way worked for u??, i think if u go to phone, options, band, select your network choose GSM, THAT will solve the problem
It's very easy and you don't need any tools!
Just go to Start--> Settings --> Connections --> Connections --> Advanced --> Secelct Networks and select 'My Work Network' from the dropdown menus.
after selecting "my work network," my main screen still shows the icon "E" does it mean anything?

Having loaded Nodata and then Tweak and found it also had a 'nodata' element I then discovered the HD built in Connection settings.
Seems to work fine.

Means you have an EDGE connection.
nodata its good and works fine on my HD
Hi. I'm not shure what you wanted to do but i'm having the following problem:
In network management if I have selected "programs ...that connect to the internet should use->Mobile Internet" then it allways uses this connection, even if i'm on wifi....and that's not good for me. If i select "my work network" and i'm not connected to wifi, it doesn't go to gprs.
I don't want to manualy set Data connection off every time i'm on wifi and then turn on when i want to use gprs/3g.
How do you do it?

If you select "Programs that automatically connect to the internet should connect using "yourproviderGPRS" (or whatever you have got that is relevant to data connection) it should connect to the internet using WIFI when WIFI is enabled and GPRS when WIFI is off. That's how mine works anyway. If I set it to "my ISP" GPRS will not autimatically connect until I manually change the settings. Hope that makes sense.
It maybe is a poor mans solution, but whenever I travel abroad I simply switch to a copy of my active account in which I deleted the password of my dataconnection. That way i am sure it won't connect. Whenever it tries to connect it will simply ask for the pw first.
You are on an active data connection only when you see the "E" as part of the 4 bars cell phone signal icon.
Not sure ? Then just tap the title bar where you see the "E" and the grey "System Status" screen comes on. here, tap on the "E" icon here and you will see the connectivity status message that says something like "No active connections" or similar.
Basically the E means that you are on "EDGE" signal.
Hope this helps !!
Cheers !!

Has anybody worked out who has the final say?
I have the Standard Built In Connections, NoData and HDTweak.
From what I can see the Built in gets overridden, i.e. with Built In set to Off using the Internet outside of a WiFi area, stills connects via the cell network.
I think adjusting the settings as suggested previously is the best route.

It gets really annoying when I was using WIFI, and suddenly the signal is too weak and it automatically connects to 3G/HSDPA data connection. I am currently not on a plan with internet usage and it charges me 20cents per KB!!
Another question - when I'm using WIFI to login MSN, why does it connects to 3G data connection whenever I press the power button and go to sleep mode
e.g. when I turn it back on 3G data connection is on...
so does it use 3G to maintain my MSN connection???
delete the internet settings
when the wifi is weak it will auto connect to 3G.
install NoData to disable 3G.

Settings> Connections
Under "Advance Tab" go to "Select Networks"
Under Network Management
The first option "Programs that automatically connect to the Internet should connect using: "My ISP" <-- set as this
Take note this will disabled incoming/out going 3G calls. Just alter the settings around when need.
NoData ftw as posted earlier

It doesn't work now if you've upgraded your rom. I think nodata is the only choice left.
Phone - Settings - "Band" (not sure of this word as I have it in french) - select GSM instead of Auto and it will only connect to Edge, not to 3G.
How to access the internet during call. It seems that the phone disable the data during call. I tried to check the "Mobile network" checkbox at the Settings but it doesn't work.
hello to everyone. my problem is this.
when i try to toggle off my wifi connection, 3g internet toggles on automatically without me asking to do so.
is there a setting i'm missing ? any help will be welcomed...
i'm running 2.2 stock on my htc legend
u will find that if u have data enabled in you Mobile Network Settings, once u are out of range of a wireless network or u switch your wifi off your mobile network will automaticly come on, if u dont want it to come on go to MENU/SETTINGS/WIRELESS & NETWORK SETTINGS/MOBILE NETWORKS and untic DATA ENABLED. that way u will have no internet access while u r out of wireless network range
but until now, mobile network stayed closed regardless of ticking or unticking the "data enabled" option. and i could choose weather i wanted to connect via wifi or the phone's data plan.. still confused...
