How do you get online on your X1?
I use WiFi connectivity.
I use wifi pretty rarely (even though its available at home and in the office) ...have an unlimited data plan so its 3G/HSDPA all the way for me
Can I suggest a POLL format for this thread?
Would allow people to click their response, and you to see & track proportions (and the rest of us interested parties too!)
Data plan only (3G/HSDPA/GPRS)
WIFI only
Mix of data plan & WIFI
Neither / Only use data rarely
Haha, I did post a poll but it didn't show up. I'll try it again.
i have unlimited data and wifi hot spots with my tarrif but as yet havent used a hot spot lol i use use the data tho its abit slow as 3g coverage is poor where i live
I put 3G and Wifi
Most of the time I'm using HSDPA, but do sometimes drop back to EDGE.
Wi-Fi only ftw !!!!!!!!!! Wi-Fi is basically available anywhere these days. Why bother paying for something you could get for free? I get that there are situations like emergencies and the like, but still, free of charge forever.
P.S. When I saw that poll I was like:

Bump, I want to see more votes and opinions.

I heard that if your 3G Connection drops you use EDGE for free.
I also heard that you can also order an EDGE data plan but you are blocked from 3G Data plan.
But someone should clarify this for me.

Depends on the country/carrier.
But i've only seen the 3G icon about twice :S
Unlimited AT&T 3G/HSPDA ($15/month) plus WI-FI where available, mostly at home.
Does anybody know how to disable automatic internet connecting?
I mean, when i don't want anything from the internet, X1 is always trying' to connect to the internet. where is that option like: "disable automatic connecting" or somethink like that... it drives me crazy....

Start Menu > Settings > Connections > Connections > manage existing connections > tap and hold all the connections you see > tap on delete.
Done...if you can't do this...shame on society
Now you can use Wi-Fi without worrying about accidental 3G or media.net or EDGE access.
I sometimes use active sync, but if it's plugged into my laptop, there's not much of need for me to use internet on the X1.
I sometimes use WiFi at home and work, but the same thing - I can use my laptop or PC for the net, don't need it on the X1 much.
I have a data plan, but live in a roaming area, so limit my carrier usage around here. The signal isn't the best and the phone changes between 3G & EDGE automatically. When I head to the city it's HSDPA
Hi all.
I just got a Nexus One and was wondering if there is a way to disable any data connections EXCEPT Wifi? I do not have a data plan w/AT&T any longer, but use a VZW Mifi modem as a wifi connection and do not want to incur any additional data charges with AT&T.
Thanks

I use APNDroid from the app store. or i beleive you can manually go in and change the APN to somthing else
is there any app to force the streak to only try to connect to wifi and not 3g? at my work in areas wifi is spotty and when it automaticaly checks e-mails ect if the wifi is bad its using my limited data plan, i would rather it not
thanks
settings==>wireless & networks==>Mobile Networks and uncheck the Data Enabled box. Now no 3G. Reverse when you want 3G
We just got a t-mobile no-contract tablet. Randomly while trying to browse via wifi, the t-mobile prepaid screen pops up and we can no longer use the browser.
Anyone else experiencing this and have ideas how to stop it from happening? Is there a way to permanently disable the t-mobile network connection? (we are always connecting via a wifi tether and are not using the tmobile service).
Thanks
Here's a thought...call tmobile...I know what an original idea

Is your tab in airplane mode while you use wifi?

Probably a silly question, but when you say "wifi tether" it sounds like you are tethering to another phone, so are you doing this or are you connecting to a "fixed" WiFi access point? (e.g. your home DSL/cable connection).

Either... Sometimes we are tethering to an access point on our phone, other times it is the wifi at the airport.
No we are not in airplane mode.
Hold the power button in for a few seconds, then choose airplane mode. Then in settings, enable wifi.
From the wireless settings you can uncheck packet data.
Hi,
I got the Samsung i9500. Yah, the one that made me decide to go with HTC in the future....but that's another post.
In the connection settings there is a check-box that is greyed out that I cannot change. I forget what it says exactly and my phone is outside in my truck (OMW to work). However, it goes something like this: "Disable the weaker network and reconnect to the more expensive mobile data connection."
(no matter what the owner of the phone wants - you go ahead and connect to that network that's gonna cost a fortune while the free home WiFi network which is working just fine and getting fast speeds for a wifi goes unused because hey, lets face it, no one makes money that way....)
It's bad, I mean really bad. I connect at 5G speeds to my wifi. I get fast speeds from it. Why is Samsung making my phone disconnect from my wifi, then connect to my data connection which I have to pay for? WTF are they thinking that this is a convenience? For who!!??!! The phone companies?
I just want my phone to STAY connected to my wifi and NOT automatically switch to my hardly, barely not at all faster mobile data connection.
I'll get a screen shot up soon as I get home from work.
Thanks.

P.S-I've edited my post. Apologies-I was extremely angry. Although, anything I said still stands, I just don't see the point of leaving it here.
