I think the best solution for this is just to edit your GPRS settings so that no matter how it is enabled, it cant make any connection to your service provider (example: put a different user avccount and password)

Instead of changing the username/password change the Access Point Name to something that will not connect. I have mine set to xxx. Some service providers do not require username/password, but in order to connect to GPRS you must have an Access Point.
The only downside is that you will have to manually change it back again if you wish to connect

Turn off GPRS

Anyone know how to turn the GPRS off so that it never comes on?

What you need is this ......... creates an icon called No Data, with it you can toggle on and off your GPRS, I've been using for a while and it is excellent, stops GPRS connections altogether until you want it...
Activesync it somewhere on your orbit and then click on it within File Explorer

Ah! Stew! Saviour! A million thanks... exactly what I was looking for...

Why?
Hi
Why turn GPS totally off? does it use more battery when your not using it?

Hi there MicTh...
I'm with O2 and their data tarrifs are somewhat expensive.
I use wifi a lot so don't need GPRS. There has been the odd occasion where I've lost wifi signal and the phone started connecting with GPRS...
The above program put a stop to this!

thanks i have also been looking for app like this

This can be done easily by:
Settings->Connections->Connections->Advanced->Select Networks->(in the first ComboBox) select "My Work Network" and click OK

No GPRS does it much simpler, simply toggling between on and off....GPRS can sometimes connect on demand, the phones demand not yours when receiving messages or when Quick GOS has become outdated, NO GPRS is the simplest solution I've found.......

Thanks - I've installed this - one question
I have disabled Mobile Web and O2 Active
Will I still receive MMS messages ???

No, MMS is sent and received over O2 Active which is WAP.

where do i copy files to
im new to orbit could you tell me where i place the files please

Copy it to you memory card and run the program. It will install itself.

thanks
thanks for your help ive got it sorted

now ive installed it and i click on the nodata icon it shows gprs as deactivated but if im usin wifii it says connecting to gprs is that normal or have i done something wrong.
also if it says connecting to gprs while nodata is installed does it still run up the bill,orbit is all new to me so im still trying to find my way around it im used to normal phone.

Hi,
just a question on this wifi-gprs. Is there a way to include a priority on one of the two?
I would like my phone to connect through wifi is it finds free or known connections, otherwise it should use wifi.
Anybody know of a setting to get this done?
Patrick

I have a Hermes and I can stop my GPRS connection instantly.
Please try this (also on other HTC models)...
When you still have a GPRS connection press and hold down the hangup button for 3 to 6 secs. (the red phone you use the end a phonecall) until the little GPRS icon disappears.
GPRS as a service will stay available.

Hi.
I'm sorry but I am having a noobie moment.
I have transferred the 3 NOGPRS files into My Music (cos I couldn't think of anywhere else to put it) and clicked on the "setup" file which opens revealing lines of code. But that's it, how do I install it? Where do I find the icon?
Sorry, this might seem basic to you but it is very complicated and difficult to understand for me.

u went one step too far.
just extract the NOGPRS.cab to your device,
then take your device and click on the .cab file!

Ricky's 6.1 and missing T-Zones, etc.

ever since i have upgraded to Ricky's 6.1, i can no longer access T-Zones. there is no icon for it on the start menu and the t-zone button opens Celetask. i used the "Connection Setup", but get an error message that my Internet is not set up correctly when i try to open a page. at other times i receive a message that the page cannot be displayed because the connection was lost. what am i missing? is there a direct url to T-Zones? thanks.

create a new gprs connection...
you've gotta go into your connections setting and manually create a new gprs connection and enter your gprs settings...call t mobile and ask for their data/blackberry support section, or just log into t-mobile.com for the settings you need...i just did this after going to rickys 6.1 on t mob, no prob...and [email protected] tzones by the way...opera mini 4.1 beta try it...mini.opera.com

yeah, i hear you. i tried the T-Mobile help, and they wanted me to hard boot the phone. i felt kinda sketchy, too, because it has a modified version of 6.1 and i didn't know if they would tell me to get lost since it wasn't "T-Mobile" approved. i tried these settings, too, and they didn't help. is this where you went for the programming instructions?

i just wanted to try and sign up for the $5.99/month plan. thanks.

this thread and read the second page. I think it is post #17 that looks like the information that you need. Hopefully it gets you up and running.

Ohh yeah I forgot about that. I am a Canadian Rogers user and the connection setup app doesn't support my setting so I am used to doing it for myself.

Well opera and opera mini are different. If you want opera you could go to Mikeys page and download it there http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=a1e428ed720bdf418c9e7c56ba37815f8d6dc55236f5978e
or download Opera Mini at the above link, I have not seen a hack yet for opera mini but I am sure it is around if you look hard enough.

i'll try that. thanks. i'm sure it is Opera Mini that 6.1 (Ricky's ROM) is trying to install. i'll try the link you posted, though.

tmotzones cab initially works! but then?

Hey all, I have a cab file called "tmotzones" that loads all the correct settings for the t-zones proxy. After a fresh ROM upgrade, this cab works fine...internet hits fine. But then after awhile, even though the settings appear to be there, my internet stops working. Anybody familiar with this?

yea, happens to me. you have to go into your connection settings, then go to your gprs settings, and change whatever your data connection, change what it connects to(if it says The Internet, change it to anything else) then save it, then go back in, change it BACK and save it again. it SHOULD do the trick.

IE Issues after WM6.1 upgrade

Hi, I upgraded to WM6.1 over the weekend, everything looks pretty cool.. But IE can not get on the internet anymore.
I'm able to check the email okay but IE reports the following error
HTTP ERROR $CODE$
I see the Edge (E) come up when I launch the IE so that means IE is trying to open the connection but does not bring anything back.
Someone please help

That is the same error I get.

I scanned pretty much all related thread did not find anything yet...

Hi, Newbs. When you flashed your phone did you use the "Sticky: The Guide for UPGRADING WM 6 to 6.1 with PICS and LINKS" I'm pretty sure you both skipped a step naughty naughty....
Well if you go to the Sticky and look at post #3 and run your connection setup like you were suppose too, we wouldn't be having this conversation . It honestly should be that simple.
Good Luck

Internet Explorer not working?
I've been able to figure out every other problem with my IE, but now this one has stumped me, and i need help.
i'm using Wifi, and for some reason i cant go to any websites. even a site such as google wont work.
I get an error that says "The page cannot be found. Check the name and try again."
and i know for a fact that im not typing in "http://www.google.com" wrong. its not a hard one.
its not my connection. im sitting right next to my wireless modem and router and my computer is working fine. in the Comm Manager i have full Wifi service.
There was at one point when i a site to work, but then IE went back to the IE homepage on its own and wouldnt work again.
SOOO pleaseee, if anybody can help, please do
Thanks guys =]

Not sure if this will help but...
I have found that if I switch networks from my "E" data plan to my home WIFI, or vice-versa, I have to quite IE (press the pink tmobile button and select "close" for IE) then restart it and viola it works. I seem to have to do this anytime I was using IE on one network and then connect to another without my phone being turned off at anytime in between.
Hope that helps.

If you are running Ricky's v24:
Start > Accessories > Connection Setup
Run the Connection setup, select United States and T-Mobile. I think that you'll need a reboot after the settings update.

I 2nd That
That's exactamundo correcto. Trust this man. He is dead on.

having the same problem and after running the connection set up again still getting the "http error $code$ $message$ requestURI=/"
I'm on the 5.99 t-zones. the really weird thing is right after the flash it was working then tried it about 30 min later and nothing. I've tried about 4 different variations of manual settings I can find. Any help?

I'm having the same problem with internet after upgrading to 6.1. Yes I have ran the connection setup and let it reboot, tried it twice with no luck. Txt messages still work, just doesn't seem to access any internet sites. I'm using the 19.99 plan and running Kavana's 6.1 080408 final. I have also tried using the manual settings provided by Tmobile
Any ideas?

does your MMS work?
if not call t-mobile to reenter you into their network. 5 minute call.

do the connection setup then do the tzones hack it worked fine for me and this is the second dash after my first one went out. Not one problem installing anything use search I dont post must as u see but I have done plenty of mods on thru this site without asking questions all the answers are out there just search and read.
