Please bear with me. This is not new about the data usage.
The data traffic generated from my SGS 2 is costing me a lot that I had to disable the Data Network Mode. I simply need to use packet data to send and receive MMS and sometime for Assisted GPS.
How can I control packet data (3G/3.5G) data traffic?
And
How can I restrict it to certain usage (e.g MMS and AGPS)?
Thanks for your help.
You can try droidwall you can set each app to use either wifi or 3g only, or both.

go to the andoid market and install traffic counter extended... the best for me
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.carl.trafficcounter&feature=search_result
Just turn mobile data off and only turn it on when required .

I use a widget called dataEnabler from market. works great for me
Guys... thanks for all your replies.
I guess I found a solution and I would like to share it with you.
Simply I installed SmartAPN and that solved the problem for me.
I switched Data Network Mode on and I disabled Data and enabled MMS.

Hi to everybody.
Do you know if it possible through a registry update, to not allow data connection if the xda is in roaming?!
Hope that someone has an answer or a glue!! I really need it guys, belive me!
Try Modoca no data (search for a cab file), it does not exactly disable data when roaming, but allows you to turn data connection off and on...

Thanks for the replay, but this not useful for me, I mean, I can turn data off and on simply changing the data connection on settings. Maybe this cab is faster than open everytime Start->Settings->Connections->Connections->Advanced->Select Network, but I always need data connection because of push email service, and turn of it only on roaming because of traffic cost under roaming. Any other ideas?
Anyway?
if better , perm disable of GPRS will be good .
Try NoData to disble GPRS. Personally I'm not having much luck with it as my TD2 keep closing it down in background.
Alternative is to deliberately set an incorrect APN so it cannot connect even when it tries.
I don't know of any method of setting a default connection type.
NoData.cab works fine in my device, but HD Tweak can do the same job, so I removed it.
Would like to do the same too, and then have my weather and emails be updated via my home network thru wireless only...
any one able to do this?
Of course you can! Using 3g or any other paying data connection when WiFi is available is simply foolish

Done spose you would like to tell me how please...i am not that clued in with the HTC device just yet...and have used alot of my data already...which i have to pay for...
Thanks..
With pleasure:
Some people say they can deactivate gprs,3g etc within windows..but as I emptied my sim credit within a minute when I first started my Topaz, I decided not to worry anymore by installing Modaco's NoData.cab (it's free,google for it) and disabling all costly data connections from my operator. After a few days I realized that nodata.cab was no longer needed because I had also HD Tweak, who can do the same.If you use it go to point 6. and disable the 3 last settings. So it's up to you:NoData.cab or Hd Tweak...and I'm sure even others utilities work aswell.
Or you simply delete the settings for 3g conections and the software will decide to use WIFI it's avaible instead 3G (because it will not work without settings.)
How do you do that? In this case you would have to do the network autoconfig again if you need 3g etc..anyway this discussion is funny because it is rare to find a thread with multiple solutions recently....I was getting bored of unsolved problems . Cheers !

If you activate wifi the wm will use this

i try it right know to be sure.
I have SPB monitor instaleted to verify the traffic.
If 3G it's active and you enable WIFI the application it will use 3G.
If the 3G it's close and open WIFI the application it will use WIFI and don't open 3G.

So it's not about "deleting" anything, you're just using another application (costs USD$19.95). May be a solution
You understand me wrong.
First solution about deleting the connection was the simplest one if you want to use only WIFI.
Second : "I have SPB monitor instaleted to verify the traffic."
I use this app ONLY to verify and to be sure were the app goes to made traffic not for directing the app.
SPB Monitor tell you if you have one or more connections how much traffic you made...
and I see what I tell you if I have 3G closed and WIFI activated the traffic was made on WIFI and 3G remain closed.
But if you have 3G connected and start after that WIFI the 3G will made the traffic.
OK I understand, may I ask you again what are the steps for your first solution?
1. if you don't want to warry about 3G connection and you don't want to use it.
-"Connection setup/menu" disable auto configuration
-"Connections/manage existing connections" and delete all the connections
- enable WIFI and all the programs will use WIFI(will be the single way)
2. If you want to use 3G and WIFI
-when you use WIFI be sure/verify the 3G connection it's closed(click on the status bar-signal strenght icon and if it's active disable it)
-afterthat enable WIFI
Otherwise if 3G it's active will be the first option for applications to acces the internet.
Try to enable Autodisconect (ADV CONFIG or HDtweak) of data connection after you use it to disconnect automatically for you.
I hope I help you.
Solution 1 doesn't work here,wasted a couple of euros ..back to my good ooold system.
i still can't disable it, i just bomb $400 for activating gprs ..
new to WM phone , so ... kinda slow .
If you only want to use wireless all the time, try the following:
Go to Start | Settings | Connections
Click on Connections icon
Click on Advanced tab
Click on Select Networks button
Programs that automatically connect to Internet should use
My Work Network
Programs that automatically connect to a private network should use
My Work Network
Cheers to SEX1 on whirlpool...

Hi, will this solution also fix my issue? My issue being:
-No dataplan, but do not want do disable/delete 3g/gsm, because I still want to use it sporadically on the road, and recieve MMS. But only when I choose to manually.
-At the same time, I want the automatic updates of weather, push-email, stock and such, but ONLY when I'm in a known WLAN.
In simple terms, I want to deny the 3g/E/H from automatically connecting, without deleting them. At the same time, wifi should be allowed to automatically connect, and update selected services.
Is this possible?
How do I disable the phone from auto connecting to gprs? I tried testing it by launching opera without switching on wifi. The phone still connects through gprs although I turn data connection off. It will turn data connection on by itself. Even when I switch wifi on and want it to connect through wifi instead, it is still connecting through gprs. How do i solve this?
When wifi is "connected" (not only "on"), it uses wifi, no dataconnection.
If you really don't want a dataconnection, use something like NoData...
i tried NoData but it's not working. i'm using official htc wm6.5 rom.
Sorry I cannot be more precise because I don't use it anymore, but I remember there was an option to block data connection in HDTweak. Is that you want? Block dataconnection permanently? If so, you could alternatively delete your mobile operator connection in Settings/Connections. If anyone knows the registry changes involved in this,please post them so that I can make a .cab, I need it when roaming.
try MWLongLife! It's magic
this program is developed for saving battrey life by controlling 3G/2G network and data usage
you can set each program which need data access by 3G, WiFi, USB, etc.
Also, force to use Wifi rather than gprs if it's available.
Thanks for all of the suggestions. I tried installing nodata again and it worked this time.
for those interested there's also a cab to disable push internet completely (think that was the origin of your problem).
Search the forum on NoPushInternet

Yes please... I was about to post the same issue. I think the precedence in WM6.5 of using mobile wireless over WiFi is the wrong way around if the WiFi signal is strong. In my house, my WiFi is strong everywhere but 3G comes and goes. It's darn annoying to get the message about "No connectivity" when I know for sure there is a very good WiFi signal.
Cheers, Rob.
PS. Just had it whilst writing this email - "Messages cannot be downloaded to your mobile device..."
It's "WM" not "MW".

That's much better!! thanks fighter7139, gonna try right now!
Hi guys,
I recently subscribed to a 12G data plan. In the past, I've used nodata to disable data connection and used wifi when possible. Since I have a data plan, I enabled data connection and now both wifi & 3G/GPRS are activated.
My question is this, does HD when connected to wifi, use it exclusively until the connection is lost and then 3G takes over? And when wifi is re-connected, it automatically uses wifi and not 3G? The reason I am asking is because I see both the 'wifi' and 'h'/'g' status at the same time. And when clicking on it, the data connection shows that it has been in use for hours!
My concern is going over the data limit and battery life.
Thanks so much in advance!
No, it's not designed to establish only one connection at the same time. You can have WiFi and 3G connected at the same time.
thanks vcespon... i wish there is 'smart-connections' program...
I have a HD2 on the AT&T network without a data plan but have unlimited messaging plan so it allows me to use the AT&T network free for messaging. I have my wireless data turned off through the settings so that it does not connect to the network.
I was wondering if there is some way to have the data turned off all the time but automatically turned on when trying to send/receive MMS messages? Is there an app or widget or specific settings that I could use?
I'm using mdeejay Froyo HD 3.7 ROM with hastarin 7.7 kernel.
I have t mobile but usually have data off...when I get a mms, it'll have the download option...i then turn on data, retrieve the mms, disable data...that's how it work on my bangster...good luck

Yeah this is what I do too but I was wondering if there is a way to automate the process so you don't have to manually turn it on/off.
I have T-mobile but the way I do it is go to Wireless & Networks, scroll down and where it says something about Mobile Networks connect to internet, Un-check that, that disables your phone from using cellphone data to access internet where wi-fi is not available or when an accident happens

Yeah but this also blocks MMS..I want to keep MMS.
If you data is turned off you wobt be able to send ir receive mms. Mms are sent through data.
