"permanently" turn off, gprs/hsdpa/3G, is it possible?

Heey Guys,
I have another question for you..
Is there anyway to switch my gprs, hsdpa, 3g off, so they can NEVER turn on automatically?
So i cannot update stocks, the weather, or go on the internet without permission or only with wifi!!?
Thanx a lot.
Mike

You could use NoData or delete all Your GSM Provider Connection Settings.

Hi -just go to Settings > Connections (tab on the bottom)
Then click Connections icon and go to Advanced (tab on bottom)
Hit " New" Internet connection (box at the top)
Type in any name you want with no settings ,then click OK ,ect.
Next time you click on the weather or internet it will come up with an "connection error "
hehe!
I mistakenly thought the weather was free - i'll look out the window now.
Cheers

How to stop Facebook to automatically open a 3G connection?

How to stop Facebook app to automatically open a 3G connection even when the WiFi connection is also ON?

you don't need anything. just read the manual

You could use the application "Data Controller", i have it installed cause this annoyed me aswell.
Data controller allows you to shut down any non-wifi signal your phone is currently transmitting (like the data link & wap etc.)

Thank you for the hint, but searching for it I found a new 'version' updated to work with Manila Windows Phone, called Manila Dial-up Enabler/Disabler.
Now what I do need, it is to find a way to use facebook through wifi/wlan ..

Has anybody already discovered how to have facebook using only wifi or activesync connections?

I will Copy/Paste the steps since new users cant post links
Prevent your phone from using the data connection when you want to ensure that it will never connect to the Internet via GPRS/3G.
On the Home screen, slide to the Settings tab and then tap Wireless controls.
1-Tap Menu > Connections and then tap Add a new modem connection.
2-Enter Offline as the name of the connection.
3-In the Select a modem list, select Cellular Line (GPRS), and then tap Next.
4-Enter Offline as the access point and then tap Next.
5-Tap Finish.
6-Tap Manage existing connections and then select Offline.
7-Press BACK and then tap Done.
Restoring the data connection:
1-On the Home screen, slide to the Settings tab and then tap Wireless controls.
2-Tap Menu > Connections and then tap Manage existing connections.
3-Tap the name of your mobile operator's data connection.
4-Press BACK and then tap Done.
Hope this will help

cant log into google with Darchdroid

so i flashed to Darchdroid rom, but i CANT log into my google account. every time i try it says unable to contact server.

Skip the initial setup. Open up your settings. Go to wireless & networks. Turn off mobile network and turn it back on 10 seconds later. Then go to your account section and set up your Google account.

Mobile network [x]
Connected
^-- You don't see that? Odd... It should be there.

in wireless and network settings it says mobile networks and when i click on it it says..
data roaming
system select

Not "Mobile networks". Above that... "Mobile network" without an s on the end.

nope above that is VPN settings

I know this option isn't available with the darchdroid, but did u flash the googleshits?

Wait... After a bit of searching in Darchdroid thread, I found out that it's not there. So... they recommend you do this:

Going to USA...how do I force disable Data?

I am going to the USA later this week and don't want to get stung with huge data roaming charges. Is there any way to force data to stay off, with an option to use wifi if needed? I used to use a program on my windows mobile called NODATA...
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

Try this:
1. Type *#*#4636#*#* on your dial pad
2. Select "Phone Information"
3. Press "Menu" soft key
4. Select "More"
5. Select "Disable Data on Boot"
6. Reboot
Now data should be disabled (you won't see E/3G icons in the notification bar) and you can use WiFi whenever you want.

you can use my app "data on demand" for that (in the market). i would also recommend turning settings->wireless and network->mobile networks->data roaming OFF! this always worked for me!

I was just going to post the same thing...
Don't anybof the standard system settings provide the functionality to do the same? e.g. limit to 2g only and/or turning off data updates and/or data roaming etc. ?
Will check the app out though... If you do the keypad option, how do you then reenable or does it just come back on with a reboot meaning you have to do it each time you turn the phone on...?

Setting 2G only wouldn't stop data use, only high-speed data (though that would curtail the rate at which you can accumulate it). There is a setting to not use data while roaming, which should work, though entering incorrect data in the APN settings as I think these programs do would work too.

Settings->Wireless and Network->Mobile Networks->Uncheck Data roaming
That will disable any data use on networks other than your home-network! No other settings/configs are necessary!

Good. That's what I was hoping for/assumed it may do.

this topic should be stickied

Install APNdroid. You can place a widget on the homescreen to turn on, off APNs:

I was wondering this also as i am due to go away, but i still want to send and receive MMS (as it is included in my allowance) whilst away. So the question is, if i choose not to have data whilst roaming will this also stop MMS as this is also data? I have a suspicion that it would, so, would the only other option be to just put some bogus APN settings in for internet but keep my MMS settings as it should be? Any ideas? Thanks a lot.

Don't know why people are going into this vast overkill....
Just go into your settings, wireless networks, ensure "Enable data while roaming" is unchecked. In fact, it will be unchecked by default, at least in the Bell rom.
This setting works perfectly (I just went to the US this past weekend), so i see no reason to screw around with the APN or reboot the phone or install other hacky apps. If this box is unchecked the instant you switch to roaming your data is disabled.

Just toggle it off in data usage and don't toggle it on again. You can't permanently disable it. (It's a smartphone after all and it is meant to use the internet.)

Edit the APN n give some weird proxy and address, this should make sure that a conncetion is not established.
Also setting a global proxy will make sure you do not get data.
But if you disable the data no app can force it on.
Apart from that there is no way to disable data permanantly ( Android is meant to stay connected, thats how google wanted it )

Wipe data, wipe cache and dalvik cache. Maybe solved
