I've been searching both around the forums and through the settings on my phone, and can't seem to find anything. Is there a way to disable incoming calls (like airplane mode), but still allow wifi access?

After flashing to the 3.2aku rom from molski, I realized that when I'm surfing the net (gprs is connected), it will turn my incomming calls into missed calls after a few rings. I remember seeing a registry tweak for this, but I can't find it. I tried the GPRSworkaround tweak, but that didnt work. Help?...
Question
Do you have direct push?
no

Hi,
Anyone know if there is any setting that disables data connection automatically switch on?
I find it quite annoying at some point, i was using wifi to surf the net as well as having window live messenger on. But once i dc-ed from wifi (it auto reconnect back to access point) and the data connection automatically switch on (cost money for data connection), which i don't want it to happen.
Please assist, thank you.

You can also download HD Tweak it allows you to do this, also check what your email etc settings are as It shouldnt connect unless it needs to
Opps~! my bad fellow gurus
I guess the search sure is useful.

Good day gentlemen!
Automatically?
I'm very lazy so is there a solution to automatically block the data-connection while using wifi?
Or maybe you can tell me how to detect wifi being turned on so i can write my own program...
Thanks
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.
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.
Back story: I've always rooted in the past, but purely for entertainment / backup purposes. Now however, I actually NEED root for my phone to function as I believe it should due to a "glitch" in the system. Please reference the thread that I started in the google help forums here (sorry can't post outside links):
I'm a new Project Fi customer with a Nexus 6P. The phone is fantastic, but I'm having a problem making calls while at home. The Project Fi CSR that I chatted with was not very helpful and was only able to tell me what I already knew.
The problem is that one of my neighbors has a Sprint "home cell tower" device (I believe it's an Airave but no way to know for sure) that my phone connects to when I attempt to place a call. When I hit send, I hear 3 beeps followed by an automated message "We are unable to complete your call at this time, please try again later; Message 12: Switch 2195"
Currently, my only option if I want to make a call is to turn on "airplane mode" and then turn wi-fi back on so that it reconnects to my home wi-fi and then place the call. Obviously this is not ideal as it's not really practical to turn airplane mode off and on when I come and go from my house.
Is there another option that I am missing. It seems almost too obvious that there should be a "prefer wi-fi calling when available" toggle somewhere, but I don't believe there is.
Any ideas / suggestions?

and which I proceeded to find a solution for as detailed here (sorry can't post outside links):
I've found a better solution (or at least a more convenient one) to this problem. This solution is also workable for people who feel that wi-fi calling would be more reliable in specific places than their cellular connection for making phone calls. The only caveat: you need to root your phone for Tasker and System Settings to function as required for these tasks. I have used the apps Tasker and Secure Settings to set up a rule for my phone that will automatically turn off the cellular radios and leave wi-fi on when I'm at home. When my phone connects to my home wi-fi as identified by the SSID of my home wireless router, Tasker initiates the Task to turn the cell radios off thus forcing all incoming and outgoing calls be routed over wi-fi. When my wi-fi connection is lost (when I leave home), Tasker initiates another task to turn the cellular radios back on. This has been working flawlessly for about 3 weeks on my phone, and requires absolutely no user input after the initial setup. I highly recommend this solution as it is far more convenient than having to use separate dialer apps when at home and away.

Long story short, I need to use Tasker and Secure Settings to manipulate airplane mode based on my location as determined by the wifi SSID to which my phone is connected. I ALSO would like to be able to use Android Pay. Unfortunately, Android Pay doesn't work unless I remove SU from the /su/xbin_bind folder, and if I do that, then Secure Settings doesn't work.
I attempted to use tasker to automate the renaming of the SU file when the Android Pay app is started and then rename the file back to SU after Android Pay closes, but the results only work sometimes... it's flaky at best and I don't know why. Sometimes Android Pay works, sometimes not, other times Secure Settings Works, and sometimes not.
Does anyone have any suggestions for me? Is there going to be an update to Secure Settings so it will work with systemless root without having the create the symlinks? Is there a way to use Tasker to turn off the cell radios only without the need for the Secure Settings app? (I'm a relative novice with Tasker)
Thanks,
Adam

Don't bet on a Secure Settings update. It seems a dead project.
You can do it without secure settings, as you're rooted (as per this post)
In tasker, instead, set your task to perform Code -> Run shell -> Command: "settings put global airplane_mode_on 1; ; am broadcast -a android.intent.action.AIRPLANE_MODE --ez state true" -> Check Use Root checkbox, for going into airplane, change 1 to 0 and true to false to disable and return to normal operation.

Thanks for the reply and info! I'm not terribly proficient with Tasker, but I'm going to give your suggestion a shot. If it works, that would be great!:good:
