I constantly listen to podcasts on my commute to and from school, where service is extremely spotty, it drives me INSANE when I miss some important part and have to rewind because the sound cuts out and the phone beeps every minute or so.
I've been searching around several forums trying to figure out how to turn off the beep and the consensus seemed to be there was no way to disable it. That being said the most recent information I found was from the beginning of last year. I'm wondering if any progress has been made or will I just have to put my phone in airplane mode on my commutes? I'm running 2.2 NebulaRom if that is of any use.
go to
Settings -> Wireless and network -> Mobile Networks -> Data Roaming Guard
then turn it off,
My phone doesn't beep when it loses service or roams with this turned off.
Try this "fix" for spotty coverage.

Also look into the Roam Control app.
This post was the top hit on my google search and just wanted to confirm that on my HTC Desire you can change this via:
Settings -> Wireless & networks -> Mobile networks -> Data roaming sound
(Play sound when connecting to roaming network)
I too found this very annoying on the train, so glad to get rid of it!
There's no such option on my Epic. Maybe because this is a change from EI22 which I'm still running? No way to disable the sound without putting the phone in silent mode. Never has been one.

Hi!
I was playing around with my friends Nokia E71 and was amased by how easily it handeld connections, with WIFI off i choose to reciever new e-mails, in a flash the phone started the WIFI and let me choose between available WIFI networks or if i wanted to use the 3G. After i downloaded the new e-mails the phone automatically turned of the WIFI...
On my X1 on the other hand i have to go to the comm manager turn on wifi press another button to choose between different routers, go to the e-mail press update, and when it's done i have to turn the wifi off again.
Is there any solution for getting my phone more like a nokia
I would like to choose connection before the phone automatically connects to 3G, and also that it automatically starts wifi scan and turns it of when I'm done.
If not is there anyway I can adjust which connections are allowed? Because right now I'm traveling in USA and I have a prepaid card, so i don't want to use 3G for getting my e-mails or go surfing, I know that if i'm connected to WIFI it doesn't connect to 3G but in the crappy hotels I'm living in the WIFI comes and goes and sometimes my phones jump over to 3G...

As for your second question regarding adjusting which connections are allowed, I use an application called NoData. It allows you to toggle the connections. It's a good way to save yourself from going over your telecom-plan.
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.
On my old HTC dash I was able to turn off all services independently in a way that i could insure that my phone was off yet I could still use my WiFi. This worked well for vacations so that i did not receive any roaming charges for people who may call my phone while gone. The only thing I think that may work is an app called apndroid? Any other suggestions?
Force EVDO?

you can have wifi on in airplane mode...in sense there is also a setting to disable the mobile network. it even has a convenient little widget. or in mobile network setting u can set it to home only. out of home network evdo wont work with that. u can also change it to only sync data and background services with wifi. if that helps at all

Are you on Sprint? As I understand it, most of the unlimited data plans have no roaming these days...
When you go to wireless and networks and enable airplane mode, you are still able to turn your wifi on..
Nothing should have to be changed to allow this...
When I turn off Mobile Network, I am still able to place calls... I just lose EvDO.
Because after you turn off mobile network, when you press call, it automatically turns it on for the duration of the call.
Turn airplane mode on, and see if you can hit wifi...

Mobile Network != phone radio.
If you turn off Mobile Network, it's turning off data only. The only way to turn off the phone radio without turning on Airplane Mode is to go into *#*#4636#*#* turn it off in Phone Info.
However, wireless should work just fine in Airplane Mode. Just use the Wi-Fi on/off widget from HTC or the Power Control android widget.
While i have an unlimited plan I will be outside the US where there may or may not be sprint coverage. I have turned on airplane mode from both holding down the power as well as from the settings menu. Both options do not allow you to turn on wifi after airplane mode is on. I am still running stock 1.5 sense android. Not sure what others are running.
Hello,
I apologize if I have missed this asked in the forum, or in the phone settings for that matter but is there a way to disable the notification sound on the phone. I seem to be getting notifications whenever it connects/disconnects my wifi or whenever it changes service from GPRS / Edge / 3G.... at least I believe this is whats causing the notifications as there is nothing noted in the notification bar. I have disabled the notification for "Network Notification" however this just means I don't get notified about open networks in the area.. it still notifies me when my home wifi connects.
Other than that I'm loving the phone! I was rocking a G1 with a Cyanogen ROM which was great but was looking for something to be a bit more snappy... I will say i've been very surprised at how snappy this is.
if you go under the 'mobile networks' area under 'wireless & networks', there is an option to play a sound when you go into roaming. also under the wifi settings there is a check box for a notification when an open network is available.
check that out, should solve the issue
Thank you i0nicx , i ended up stumbling upon this on my own but u are correct this is what fixed the issue :

How do I turn off network notifications, I go to advanced tab in wifi, and network notifications is grey and I can't uncheck it. Wifi on is killing the battery, and I turn it off but when I go by any wifi network it automatically turns on. Is there a way to stop this or am I stuck with this also. The more and more I go through this phone, the limitations put in by sharp make me want to get rid of this phone. It's a great phone, but the user limitations are really killing this phone, and I dont see sharp helping to alleviate problems. Sharp is gonna have a hard time in the American market, just for the fact of poor programming and support every website for any root or anything always points to xda, I would think these companies would appreciate xda's input and concerns. Its more about money than the people. Sorry about the rant, but I can't count the times people of xda have emailed sharp and they could give 2 craps about what we want.
You have to have wifi enabled to toggle that option. If wifi is disabled, that field is grayed out. But, with that being said, I have noticed that when I disable the wifi it will re-enable itself after a short period of time. Another issue that I have is sometimes I will get "Avoided poor internet connection" while that option is disabled, and the internet connection in question is in fact functioning properly and bandwidth is exceptional. All the more reason that we need to achieve root and take back control of our devices.
