So I've been struggling with this with my TP2 (Telus's network), I can't afford the Data at the moment and I'm sure someone else must have had this issue.
So go to Settings>All Settings>Connections
"Manage my existing connections" from there click on your provider's network and go to Edit and follow the procedure as per usual but where it says use automatic IP, select manual and enter 0.0.0.0.0 (the default) click servers and do the same again for the dns etc. This setting stays after a reset. The other settings (if you create a new connection or have a data block from telus) go away on a soft reset or network refresh on their side.
I hope it helps.
I would imagine a program like they have for the Touch HD called HD Tweak is available. For the HD you can disable the data connection in the settings.
Just create a new profile with no modem or apn. select your profile if you want to disable data.
have you tried the little app called NoData?
i installed on all my devices, you can toggle to Enable or Disable Data connection .it works very well

Hi guys, I'm so pissed of!
My phone is online via wlan, but while I say check for updates it used my sim card to go online! This'll cost me aalot of money
How can I force my phone to go online ONLY if it's connected via wifi? Is there a way to disable the connection via the simcard?
Yes, there's a program called "NoData" which allows you to do just that.
Maybe you could change your Network Management settings.
Open "All settings", select the third tab (connections) and tap Connections. Select the second tab (advanced) and tap "Select Networks". There you can select how programs connect to the internet. Choose a profile that uses no modem and it should work.
The only program that refuses to stay disconnected while not on Wifi is the Youtube “program” when I accidentally start it again .
Hope it helps.
Thanks guys! I tried nodata and it works. I tried to select another profile but I thinkt that I f*cked that one up aswell Nodata is ok atm
Only downside I can't see if I am in my homezone or not :/
Hi,
If I read the HTC Desire manual page 128:
Code:
[B][U]Turning the data connection on or off[/U][/B]
...
Press HOME > MENU and then tap Settings > Wireless & networks.
Select the Mobile network check box to turn on the data connection; clear the check box
to turn off the data connection.
We can simply check/uncheck the above option to turn on or off the data connection.
Did you get any problem for turning it back on (from off) ???
Because I read the old HTC Hero (which has this option as well) has problem with this.
When you turn off data, and turn it on again, the phone cannot use data connection unless you soft-reboot.

No probs with mine
I've used this method since last Saturday, saves so much battery on my Desire and when I want the net, I can turn it back on easily enough or if at home just use Wi-Fi.
No problems getting it to turn back on again.
Does this mean I'll have to manually turn data off if I want to use wifi?
Reason why I ask is because I checked my net counter and all my data has come from the data (3G) portion of my phone whilst nothing via wifi.
Probably me being a bit naive as I thought once wifi was on the phone would know to use that automatically as opposed to 3G...
EDIT: Just had a look on my phone and under settings --> wireless and network --> mobile network (uses phone for data connection when wi-fi unavailable) is checked...so would I be correct in assuming that when wi-fi is available data won't be used??
and in Mobile Network Settings --> enable always-on mobile data (uses more power on some mobile networks) is checked (could this be the culprit?)...
Thanks for your feedback, that is certainly a good news.
Btw, does HTC provide a small widget to toggle this easily?
Or you must go through the settings -> Wireless Network -> ... ?

there is a widget you can add on your screen to do this (and others) goto widgets then scroll to settings hit the arrow on the right and you get several icons you can drop
airplane mode
bluetooth
gps
mobile network (data)
wifi
Press and hold the power button, it's an option on the quick list.
(Hello)
BACKGROUND
'been trying locale aiming to enable data conn at certain time, check email, and close data conn again, using plugin powersave to open/close data conn. I think this plugin uses the "apn suffix method" to enable/disable apn.
Previously I had widgetpro installed to enable/disable manually data connection.
Widgetpro CAN -as an option- use the same method to enable/disable data conn, but I never needed it, 'cause in my case it works without that feature.
FACTS
Whenever any locale situation triggers change in data connection (working properly), widgetpro will never work again enabling data connection manually... so I wont use locale (promising app) anymore unless any advice of you can help me...
If anyone has any idea/experience to fix it, please wave your hand
Thx
I have a plan with 350 MB, but I overstepped it this month. So, is there a program with which I can totally disable 2G/3G data for certain period of time (until 22nd ) and to continue to use voice and WiFi?

Do try APNDroid. Its free and able to do exactly what you ask!
Basically it will disable your 3G by changing the APN values and backing it up. Once you need to use 3G again, it restore the original values to your APN settings.
No reboot required! 3 to 5 secs is all it takes to disable/enable 3G
Great, just tried it. Thanks a lot. I only hope data connection won't start somehow by itself
Be aware that sometimes, when you uninstall APNDroid it can mess your APN values and you will have to re-enter them manually

Can't say I encounter this.
You encounter this before? Perhaps you might want to let the author know so can fix it?
APN droid is perfect dont worry.
If you uninstall it with your connection off, you can fiz this by going to your apn settings from Settings>Wireless...>Mobile Networks...>Access Point names>the current apn>Rename it and remove the apndroid from the name.
Thats it.
I would recommend 3G Watchdog. It automatically switches to 2G when you reach previously defined data limit.
APNDroid didn't help, data connection was still turning on after WiFi wents off
But this helped
1. Type *#*#4636#*#* on your dial pad
2. Select "Phone Information"
3. Press "Menu" soft key
4. Select "More"
5. Select "Disable Data on Boot"
6. Reboot
I can also recommend to use '3g Watchdog' combined with 'APNDroid' (both free)
3g watchdog will let you set your monthly data allowance (350MB) so that it resets its counters at a specific date you set (i.e. the 1st of each month) You can then set 3g watchdog to turn off your data connection (via APNDroid) when you've used a percentage amount of data of your choice (i.e. 99%/100% of your allowance for that month).
I'm using APNdroid and 3GWatchdog together and they work great so far.
One thing you have to be careful of is if you are using a task killer. If it kills 3GWatchdog and then you use your data connection, the data you send or receive won't be added to the amount of data in 3GWatchdog.
So be careful with it, especialy if you set your task killer to autokill applications
I recommend data-on-demand. It's free and shuts off your 2g/3g automatically + post reboot without having to mess with the settings. When you want to start it back up again, just go into the settings and set it as turned on.
The best program to enable/disable 3G i recommend Smoda Widget.
You can find it free in the market
Battery Defender works greats for me.
Quick Settings.
It's on the market, one click to disable APn and wifi along with other things, ringer, brightness, bluetooth etc.
Every time I turn on my phone, it asks for enabling packet data which is very annoying.
I've disabled everything but couldn't fix it. Any solution?
Try flash again or hard reset
Thank you very much, hard reset did the job then I tried to find it.
If I set default connection in Application profiles, I'll get that problem.
Not sure which one from the list. I have to recreate the connection and don't set in there to fix it
Go to settings, network and activate packet data.
I don't wanna activate it
check social networks connection
It happens if I set for "Samsung Apps" =/
It happens if I set any Connection in Application profiles.
It would be great if I could disable that annoying notification without removing the Connections
