Hi,
I'm having a weird issue with the data connection.
When i turn it off, it will automatically turn itself on when any application that requires internet tries to connect.
I've read somewhere that the cause of this is an application that has auto-scheduling tries to connect (e.g. email, weather, ...). But this cant be, right?
Isn't the meaning of data connection "OFF" that no application what-so-ever has internet acces. Even when they sync automaticly...?
Have a look here.
Hope it helps.
download NoData u can turn off your data connection with that, or just modify the internet settings
The weather tab, stocks tab, facebook, twitter could be configured to download data periodically.
My advice is to remove these tabs and services. They're useless and a tremendous resource hog anyway.
Use the long-press end key to cut off data connection manually.
Install "Data Controller" app to disable and enable data connection whenever you want to. Disable it most of the time, during regular use. This will prevent any accidental or unwanted preconfigured access to internet. Enable it in special situations if you really need to use it. Disable it again after use.
Data Controller is easier to use than NoData. Although, both of them works fine.
Use this app to disable internet access only. Leave the mms access enabled. That way, you'll be able to receive mms anytime. Mms shuts itself down automatically after every use. So you don't have to disable this one.

Guys,
Does anyone know of a utility or tweak to stop the automatic starting up of GPRS (Web data access)? I am finding on a regular basis that it automatically does this and I have to keep turning it off.
Any ideas??

I dont know how to stop it from activating, I had the same issue with my old Touch, BUT if you goto the thread below...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=452505
...and install the HD Tweak program, there is an option where you can program in an auto disconnect after a predetermined time (i.e. 1 minute).
Not exactly what you wanted, but it might help!

Just found how to do this only last night.
Start/settings/connections/connections/advanced/Select Networks button then choose Programs that automatically connect to the internet should connect using "my ISP".
That should stop it automatically starting and internet applications will only use data when wifi is on. If you want to use it again do same but select ......should use GPRS.
Have to say it should be easier and more obvious than this!
Hi!
Going abroad and dont want to risk a huge data roaming-bill. Is there any way to turn off data roaming? Preferrably Wifi would still work, but if that's not possible then all data off.
HD Tweak is a nice little application which includes an option to disable data connections all together. I'm pretty sure this option will prevent you recieving data even if you tried to (ie not just background tasks) but will still allow wi-fi to work.
NoData

You might want to give "NoData" a go. This very small application (.cab) install creates an icon called NoData in programs. If you select this it runs the small app and asks what data connection you want to disable or re-enable.
It is ideal for what you want and many use it. Take a look at Paul's work here on Modaco (another good WM site): http://www.modaco.com/content/pocket-pc-software/246171/new-free-utility-nodata/

Search this forum for an application called NoData.

oh...since im using prepaid services, is it a must to install the nodata tweaks?
aren't there any data on/off selection under the default settings on the phone?
that is to say, if i did not off the data connections, the phone will automatically engage gprs or sort to update weather and maps which will in turn kill all the credits in my prepaid without me realizing? that's scary...
bsb tweaks let's you disable data connections. Just tried it and when trying to establish a connection it gives me an error telling me it's not possible to go online.
so the tweaks works in another words? i will only be using wifi to go online with hd2..
Soooo i have been playing with my HD2 too much and now my mobile internet usage is close to my monthly limit.
I switched off weather, facebook & microsoft exchange active sync and switched off data services to Off in wireless controls under settings. But somehow the phone is still initializing data connection and have data coming in/out.
Is there anyway to turn off data services completely??
There is an answer for this one (one of the possible ways) on HTC official suport page under FAQ. Sorry but i can't post an external link due to spam prevention.
Kill one letter from your providers accessname. Like vodafone.de = vodafone.d If you need the access later, add the letter again.

That will give you error messages all the time though.
Go:
Windows Key
Settings
Wireless Controls
Menu (at the bottom right)
Connections
Advanced (Tab)
Select Networks (Button)
Then change "Programs that automatically connect to the internet should connect using:" to "My Work Network"
or try this one wich is working perfectly for me
go to Settings - Wireless Controls-[put 3G and Data Connection Off]
then open BsB Tweaks-Menu-Data Connection-Tick Disable in here
then restart the phone and you never use data again appart of you WiFi

Use Modaco Nodata, its a free cab you can download of its site here

Is there a way to switch data roaming on/off easily on the X2? Somehow I do not seem to find any options (it is very easy on Android phones through a dedicated menu setting in the preferences). Thanks for suggestions!
Normally if you set up ActiveSync properly and you uncheck in Schedule "use above settings when roaming" you ought to be safe. Maybe you should also check the Fast Gps settings to update satellite data manually only. This is about it when it comes to default apps. If you have installed other apps, rss readers, email clients or web browsers you should pay more attention to their connection habits.
Or you can try these apps:
No Data In Roaming: automatically restricts data traffic when roaming.

Data Controller : manually switch data connections.
