[Q] How to disable data please? - Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My dad has the Defy and I have tries to put a toggle on that toggles data on and off but even when he switches it off it automatically turns back on later on and starts using his data.
So do anyone know a better way to data off and on?
Thanks

Does this work for you? As I gave tried a few and they all do the same thing, they look like they're working then it just turns itself back on

You can use APNdroid
You can use APNdroid, it is very good!!!

if youre using stock froyo (2.2.1) theres already an option built in the settings.
I think it was under settings, then Data administrator and then Data delivery ? (i have it in spanish so sorry..dont know the REAL names...)
That should do the trick and don't need anything else.
Of course....APN doas the trick xD

disable data on the settings then reboot it, should work

Uncheck in settings > CyanogenMod > Lockscreen > Disable lockscreen
Restart your phone and it will work I think

International WiFi

Hello All,
I will be out of the country in the near future. The place will have free WiFi. How do I ensure I won't be billed for international data but still use the WiFi?
Thanks.

Wouldn't he get charged if he gets calls or texts? More so the latter since you can ignore calls

but if you need gps it may not work in airplane mode.
just tried this om cm9 and while in airplane mode it will not lock any sats for me. but if i take it out of airplane mode while it's trying to get a lock it will get one as soon as it finds a tower and keep it after i turn airplane mode back on. something to think about if you were going to get around with google maps in a foreign land. and i had my home wifi on for this quick, unscientific test.
on the plus side this should get you excellent battery life with the radios off.
Heeey, I just tried it. I got GPS with Airplane mode. GPS Status showed them all as normal.
Have a good trip!
Correct me if I am wrong, but if you are in a country where you do not have Sprint affiliates, you shouldn't be charged anything for using your phone for merely the wireless or the GPS functionality. Sprint has to know you will be using the phone internationally, and only then, will your connection be activated in that new country - not automatically. Isn't this true?

try this if you may: clear google play cache > force close > reboot
I did that once and it worked for me.

Turn off WiFi notification

Is there any way to turn off the wifi message in the ongoing section of the drop down menu, when you are connected to a network? I can't find a way to disable it and its taking up precious space on my bar.

I beleive he's talking about the notification in the pull down menu that shows the wifi he's currently connected to, not the open network notification.
It bugs me too. I don't think we can take it off.
