I dont want my Tilt 2 to connect to the data connection EVER! Is there a setting I can change to keep it from doing this? I only use wifi and refuse to pay for a data package.
Mike
settings /communications / data connection off should do what you are asking for
Call your carrier and have them block all data. That is the only true way.

They will not go for that, I am trying to stay under the radar for the whole manditory data package thing. are the phone and data all on the same radio setup? could I flash a wrong setup for data or anything?

Look up MoDaCo NoData, it disables data connections (such as MEdia Net and AT&T ISP GPRS). That, or go to Start>Settings>Connections>Connections>Advanced Tab>Select Networks Button and change both to My Work Network. That should block network connections over AT&T's network, since "My Work Network" is set not to connect to the internet, nor does it have any communications settings. Hope that helps

I did have them set to "my work network" copilot GPS still tried to get out. I will look for that NoData.
Thanks

This is how I disabled DATA connection on my T-Mobile branded touch pro 2.
Connections folder > Connections > Advanced > Select Networks > Drop down menu to T-Mobile Data (on programs that automatically connect to internet) > Edit > Select T-Mobile Data again > Edit > NEXT > Access Point Name : epicx.tmobile.com > Next > Next.
That is how I've been doing it on my previous WM phones (MDA, Wing) and now the Touch Pro 2
MMS will still work via data btw...It is just using diff server

It may try to get out, but it will not succeed. I just tried with Opera and it couldn't connect.

I want to change some settings of my Trinity (running WM6 on it)
I only want to use my network for calling, recieving/sending sms and recieving/sending mms. And not for internet by using GPRS or any other paid connections. What do I have to change in the settings?
The only way that I want to use internet is by ActiveSync, WiFi or bluetooth.
I have a dutch provider (Telfort, free roaming on KPN-network) I don't think that this is important but it can't harm to tell you
I also don't mind when you want to answer in dutch but english is oké to!

Go to Start, Settings, Connections, Connections, Advanced, Select networks and check your settings.
If not possible, in worst case delete the settings for GPRS.
But what do I have to change there?

You won't need a data connection for voice calls and SMS but you will need one for MMS messages. Go to Start/Settings/Connections Tab/Connections/Tasks/Add a new modem connection. Name the connection anything you'd like or leave as My Connection, select Modem as GPRS, 3G, then all you need is to enter is the APN name which I believe for Telfort is: internet. Leave all other settings default. You will also need to enter the MMS settings for Telfort; let me know if you need help with that.
If you have existing settings you can also go to Start/Settings/Connections Tab/Connections/Tasks Tab/Manage existing connections and enter the correct APN.
I have entered the correct mms settings (at least, I entered the settings that are given on the telfort site for pda for WM5. But I guess it will work fine on WM6 to )
So the problem isn't that I don't know how te use my mms. But I want to be sure that it doesn't make any other data connection. For example a internet connection or any other data connection except sending/recieving mms.

MMS will use GPRS when sending or receiving, so it uses the same access point as if you were using Internet Explorer. If you are trying to not use any data it won't work. Internet Explorer or Email Account will also use GPRS unless you have an active Wi Fi session open. I'm not sure if Telfort allows MMS server access if you don't go through their APN, so using Wi Fi with MMS may not work. You'll have to give it a try.
Isn't it possible to say that only mms has the rights to use gprs. And to only block internet and e-mail from using gprs?

This may be possible by editing the registry. Maybe someone in this forum knows how to do this. I'll do some research and let you know if I find an answer.
Ok I hope that it is possible. Everytime when I use WiFi at this moment, I'm in complete fear No but I will be more relaxed using my phone to the max, knowing it won't cost me a thing

I usually just switch my Connections settings in Settings -> All Settings -> Connections -> Connections -> Advance -> Select Networks.
Change the dropdown menu to MY ISP in both Internet and Wap options.
You will not be able to connect to anything thing through the phone network.
Easy!
Once you get back, just change it back. No software required.
hi, when i started my phone today i noticed that i diden't had any internet connection, and i did try to reboot it and shutdown 3 and start it up again but it dosen't work, and i don't see any internet connection in the status bar only connection for calls :S
Two things.
First off all, check that you haven't disabled mobile internet. On a Sense ROM you can do this via the Power menu, or via a widget.
Assuming it is enabled, check your APN settings are correct.

I cant get any reception at all... I have lost all receptioon .. on my Orange UK phone .... I'm in south wales.. normally it's fine here
Same here a couple of days ago. I just went into the menu wireless & networks, use mobile network when WiFi not available. For some reason this had been unchecked, not by me though - checked the box & happily carried on.

Yes - there's you problem. You should have an active APN here.
Press Menu then "New APN" and add in the APN details for your carrier.

hi,
how do i edit connection settings in the messages folder to make my ROM usable with my provider's MMS settings? everything is greyed out and inaccessible.
i have the info needed from a working phone...
you need to check your APN settings
i dont have that option in wireless & networks
serialteg said:

what option? if you mean "it's not there", that's the whole point, you need to add it >menu >new APN
you need to check with your telco as to what their MMS settings are
in mobile network settings what i get is data roaming, data roaming sound, enable always - on mobile connectivity, and system select (cdma roaming mode). thats it
i see the settings if i go to the messaging menu (inbox) then press menu - settings - connection settings. but they're inaccessible
Do you have a CDMA or GSM phone?
cdma...................
you really should have mentioned that, it's really very significant!
you need a ROM that supports CDMA phones, you can't just put whatever on there

dude i have a cdma rom
i can use the cell phone fine its just the mms settings are for US Cellular which is where the froyo rom comes from... thats not my company
i saw this one post a couple days back where someone edited a file inside the cell which gave him access to these settings. sadly i did not copy or bookmark the page but it was on xda.
Still stuck here fellas... Using pre rooted stock froyo cdma rom from this site.
Running 2.3.3 Generic UK ROM, boot loader locked, not rooted, just completely stock!
As soon as I enable tethering (wifi or usb) the phone drops the data connection (H, 3G, etc. disappears from the notification bar) and my laptop says connected but no internet connection, as soon as I disable tethering the data connection comes back.
I have tried disabling and re-enabling data whilst tethered and it will flick up for a second then disappear again!
This is really annoying as I used to use tethering quite a bit with my X10 Mini!
Any idea's welcome!
Thanks!
After some googling it seems I'm not the only one with this problem, but no solutions yet...

It's quite a big problem IMO, one of the major functions I want to be able to use and cant!!
i had exactly the same problem, sent the phone off to sony ericsson for repair, waiting for it to come back.... see what happens...
Oh, it works now very well. I just deleted the old wifi-network connections on the computer and now its flawless.
i am experiencing the same problem. I could tether nicely with my X10 and now with my newer and faster Arc, I can't share wifi, which is annoying when I'm out with my ipad and need a wifi connection
SE! we need a fix ASAP!
I've done some tethering with 3.0.1.A.0.145 and it worked flawlessly? Multiple devices at the same time, all of them had pretty smooth internet!
Lucky you!! lol
This problem still exists for me, I try again everynow and then and have only had it work once with a friends iPhone4 connected.
Does it help if you put ",dun" under APN settings>APN Type ?
If there is something already under APN type field just put a ",dun" next to it, save settings and try it by turning on Wifi hotspot.
Or if the field is empty just put there "default,dun" save setting and try.
Hope it helps.
My APN is default,supl and it works perfectly!

This worked for me!!!!
All you need to do is go to Settings -> Wireless & Networks -> Mobile Networks -> Access Point Names
Select your active APN
Scroll down to "APN Type" and click on it
Add ",dun" to the APN Type of your active APN. eg APN Type = "default,supl,dun"
After editing this, you should be able to turn on the Portable Hotspot without the 3G mobile data connection dropping out.
Many thanks guys! I just added ",dun" to mine. Now tethering using this (Rogers) to write this reply!

Heavy Googling mate! lol
Been bugging me since I got the phone two months ago!
I upgraded to 2.3.3 on a Droid 2. I unlocked and rooted the phone but the Wifi no matter which program I use goes to the Verizon site which warns me that I have to pay twenty dollars a month. Has anyone fixed this yet or is there a URL I can go to to solve this issue? If not can someone provide me with a one click fix to go back to the Froyo, and an URL for that?
