The WIFI without the GPRS (3g)

Hello,
I need some help about my htc hd.
I want to ensure that, then i connected to internet via WIFI, my GPRS (3g) is not connected.
How can i disable the 3g GPRS connection, and enable WIFI only
Thanks a lot!!!
No Data will allow you to stop data connection.
so now if i closed my Orange network, the WIFI should work?
It is still doesnt work, do you have any idea how to configure it?

Course it will there seperate
All you do is block Orange connection when you want and unblock when needed
This program doesn't help me , because even i close it the GPRS still work.
But than i take the SIM from the phone, or turn off the phone feature, the internet connection is unavailable.
I think that all problem that was in some topics about the WIFI speed , is because of they used the GPRS internet and not the WIFI.
So , there some more complexive problem with internet WIFI in HTC HD.
Just try to take out the SIM and than surf in internet with WIFI? There is no way!!!!!
the connection icons on the top of the screen clearly show which data connection is active
the manual describe the meaning of all the top screen icons
settings->connections->connections->advanced-select network
pick my home network or whatever the non isp connection is named on your phone
and all data connections when there is no wifi or activesync connections to get free network from will fail with an error == you will never get a grps connection again
before you turn it back to my isp or what it's named on your device

Wi-Fi as default

Is there a way of making the HD2 use wireless only when connected to a wireless connection and useing the Data connection only when wireless is unavailable?

start/settings/wireless controls/menu/connections..
then select..
you can download 'nodata' on here and use it to disable data connection when you are not using it..
I had to disable the proxy server for my 3G service provider and set the Broadcom 802.11 DHD Network Adaptor to connect to "The Internet". I did the same to my email accounts.
now it switches automaticly if wifi is on and if not it always uses 3G.
It will still connect to 3G when I wake up the phone but that's because some background apllications (like internet time and location) only seem to work over 3G. And probably for a reason.
Just gave it another try. Wifi takes over (and auto-disables) 3G connection fully. Twitter and Weather are updated fine using Wifi.
Just had a read about 'nodata' but that isn`t what i was looking for.
Ideally when in wi-fi range phone should use wi-fi.
when out of wi-fi range data connect connects
when you return to wi-fi it reconnects to wi-fi and drop data
i.e wifi connected = no data connection allowed
no wi-fi connection = data connection allowed
Basically, you need to leave the wifi on all the time for what you're asking, and that will destroy your battery life!
You can set it to not notify you of finding wifi connections in range, but it will constantly be looking for them (see All Settings, Sounds & Notifications). When it finds the one that you have told it it can use (you can only have 1 of them if you do it this way), it will start to use it. Once wifi has connected, your phone simply won't use the data connection.
It's that simple, but I'd highly recommend against it.
it's normal on mobile phones to only turn wifi on when you need it .. all phones with wifi I owned worked that way. And like johncmolyneux already said the reason is battery life and the constant searching for networks would lag your device with other operations.
I don't blame people that they keep confusing this device with a notebook as it almost is one, but then again a notebook only lasts a few hours with wifi on..

I belive this is what I need to do.
I travel between a few sites with wifi, what setting do I actualy need to change? you say "then select" but what? sorry for sounding dense.
or when your phone is in range and connects to wifi, does it automaticly use the wifi not the data conenction?

If you have wifi on, your phone won't use your data connection.

[Q] WIFI and GPRS at the same time?

Is there some way to get the GPRS and WIFI connection working on the same time?
As soon I activate the WIFI connection, the GPRS switches automatically off.

Not possible WIFI is always the first priority!!!

Hotspot i9500

Enabling wifi hotspot disconnects wifi. Also other device detects the hotspot but not able to connect to the Internet.

Advanced WiFi settings

Can someone please school me on how the Advanced WiFi settings options work?
WiFi signal weak - Does this literally "Turn Off" WiFi on my phone when the signal is weak? Or just disconnect from the network it's connected to and keep searching for other networks?
Internet unavailable - Same thing... does this disconnect from the network or totally "Turn Off" my wifi when internet is unavailable? What is internet unavailable btw?
Just disconnects the current Wifi network....
Any wifi device can connect to a network whether it has access to the internet or not. If there is No access to the internet on the network the phone is connected to it will disconnect from that network.
