how I make the phone uses the Internet with my wireless internet modem only without risk of losing my credit?
thank you

Find APN ON/OFF in the market. To easily switch off data throuhg 3G etc and leaving WIFI on.

i use apndroid, you can download it from the market. it has a great on/off widget, and it never failed.

Dash: IE Starts EDGE Connection when WiFi is off

Hello!
I believe I saw a thread that addressed this problem a few weeks ago, but I can't seem to find it now...
If I forget to turn WiFi on when I start IE, my Dash automatically starts to browse using an EDGE or GPRS connection. Is there anyway to disable the unit from using EDGE or GPRS for internet browsing? Or at least make it stop going to EDGE if WiFi is off? I don't have a data plan and don't want to be charged for access.
Thanks!
i also have the same problem and have had to resort to altering the gprs settings so that it cant connect. This is obviously not ideal as I would like to have it working in an emergency etc.
Thanks for any help!!

How did you do this? I have skype mobile installed, but it has a setting that is easy to figure out. Basically i only want to run IE over Wifi.
I'd be interested in a solution for this too. I've been deleting the GPRS settings and only entering them when I need to use it, which is less than once a month.
me too...
I'm in the same situation... is there any software to disable GPRS .. EDGE.. when the WIFI is off??....

Be careful though...depending on your carrier, and their data plan, it might be considered tethering, and they could sock you for a huge fee if you get silly downloading a ton of stuff. I use mine once in a while, to check email or one or two web pages, when I'm in an area where I don't have wi-fi for my laptop.

In addition, there is a standard application on WM called Internet Sharing - it's for tethering via a USB cable.

I'm on Tmobile and can't seem to get this to work. The WiFi Router sharing works fine, but the USB cable does not. It says it's connected to the internet but nothing ever happens and windows network troubleshooting says it can't resolve a DNS server. I'd just use the WiFi but I don't have a card in my desktop. Any suggestions?

If you're attempting to use the Internet Sharing app to no avail, try changing the Network Connection drop down, inside of the app. Try selecting T-Mobile Data, as opposed to T-Mobile Internet, and it should work for ya...peace...

That drop down has TMo Data, TMo MMS, and TMo WModem Link. I was using data like you said, and it didn't work. You can also set up new connections or edit the config on existing but nothing stands out as out of place to me.

Tip: Market app (wireless access)

As I mentioned in my earlier thread I recently bought a Motorola Defy. Like many other users that I read about before purchasing my first android smartphone I was not able to open Google Market app after a factory reset.
My hint is based on my own experience and I hope it serves someone else well with similar issue.
As I write this message I have no data plan on my contract and I intend to use wireless connection for emailing, internet browsing, and the Market app. Once I completed the initial setup I put my handset's network mode to 2G only. I was worried to be charged for accessing data on 3G.
I had no problem using the Market app initially over the wireless connection until I did a refactory reset to re-setup my handset properly second time round. It was then the Market app stopped working and not even a master reset resolves the problem and then I was considering to root the handset to remove certain folders as a solution to the problem.
Everytime I laucnhed the Market app it stuck at Terms and Services page. It then occurred to me to change the network mode to Automatic and switch off the wireless connection to see what would happen. Next time I laucnhed the Market app it took me straight to the market's home page. It took me two days to figure this out : (
Once I was in the market I switched the network mode back to 2G only and turned on the wireless again. Everything is working just fine now. For the porpose of this thread I powered off the handset and turned it on again to see if my last settings i.e. 2G only still launches the Market app successfully or not. I can confirm that the Market app works just fine over the wireless connection just fine with 2G only network mode.
BTW, the batter life of this handset is so impressive. I used it one and half day very extensively (over 20 times of restarting the handset alone) and I was very surprised lasted that long. On moderate use and proper battery management (no widgets, no 24 wireless connection), and putting it on air plane mode at nights I would get over 2.5 days before charging is required.
I can't wait for Android 2.2 release to make this handset even more productive for me : )

I think you may have a misconception of 2G versus 3G. They are different technologies. When your phone is in 2G mode, it uses one type of network for both voice and data. In 3G mode it uses another type which provides better voice quality and faster data speeds.
Either way your phone will still try to access data unless you turn off mobile data. If it's in 2G mode and you see the little "E" icon up in the notification area, it's still accessing mobile data - just at a slower rate.

Thank you for your inputs. I'm very new in the world of smartphones but learning fast.
I searched around to find out how to disable Mobile data and chosen this method *#*#4636#*#* and changed my network type to GSM for best coverage and battery life now. I can confirm the Masrket app still works with wireless connection.
Changing to GSM only does not disable mobile data.

Did that work then? You no longer connect with mobile date, I'm asking because I have now ordered my Defy but like you don't have a network plan so need a workaround.

Right ok, thanks for clarifying
In Froyo there is a mobile data toggle in the regular menus, and on all Sense phones too. Is there one on Blur phones? I guess not.
Another way to block data is to go to your APN list and fudge the entry (e.g. change epc.tmobile.com to epc.tmobile.com.nodata).

The only way I can assure you I have successfully disabled Mobile Data by looking at the reception icon in notification bar that no longer displays G, H, E, and 3G at anytime.

[Q] Concerns about data roaming

I hope I'm posting this in the proper category.
Namely, I'll be leaving my home country very soon and travel abroad and I will most certainly need to occasionally do SSH connection to my server over 3G, which leads me to data roaming. Now, data roaming at my carrier is super expensive, so I was wondering if there is a way to completely disable data while in roaming, but still be able to connect to 3G and EDGE when I explicitly tell the phone to do so (eg. for SSHing somewhere or checking in on Foursquare, refreshing Twitter timeline, etc).
I saw that there's an option to uncheck Data Roaming in Wireless & Network settings, but I would say that will completely turn off all data connections and NOT allow me to manually and explicitly initiate data connections. Is that true? Is there a way to make it connect to 3G only when I explicitly tell it to while remaining disconnected otherwise?
Allow all phone data settings on. Download APNdroid or similar (APN on off widget) from the market. Open app and set any preferences, then add widget to home screen. Activate by tapping on off on (or something like that). Green on, red off.
All it does is rename the APN settings so it "fails" to connect.

Your quite correct in that it will stop data connections, but why not turn it back on when you want to connect?, the other possibly cheaper option would be to, as long as your phone is not networked locked, buy a local PAYG sim with data and use that in your phone when you want to use 3G
Buying local sim would be wise option....
Sent from my Desire HD
A local prepaid SIM is a good idea, far cheaper than using data roaming.
Additionally, to avoid background data usage, you might want to install Droidwall and allow only the SSH app to connect to the internet.

Because I want only that one application to use the data connection when I want it to, without all other apps opening their own connections for sync and other stuff, since I have a lot of apps and accounts that sync in certain periods of time (this is an Android device, after all ).

I also vote for Fabios WiFi Tether router, I've had an issue and he kept working through it with me without delay. I usually got a response from him within 30 minutes.
I also run Private Internet Access VPN app on the phone, any device that connects to the hotspot is automatically encrypted through the VPN so Tmo can't tell what kind of traffic it is. I've used 30 gigs a month this way for months without an issue.

Thanks for the info!
1. Is Private Internet Access (PIA) VPN app free?
I read somewhere about a $35 annual fee, but perhaps that is not needed?
2. So by encrypting the traffic, you're saying T-Mobile does not know whether the traffic is standard data usage (e.g. web browsing on the Note 3 itself) or whether the traffic (data being used) is from running a hotspot on the Note 3 and connecting to it from an external device (laptop, table etc.)?
Just interested in understanding the technology and alternatives better (I have not needed wifi tethering on my Note 3 so far, not even the included 2.5 GB but I enjoy understanding it all either way).
I have 2 methods that I use on my phone.
FIRST THING IS TO CREATE THE EXACT SAME TMOBILE APN EXCEPT CHANGE IT FROM IP6 TO IP4.
TO BE EXACT I JUST CREATE A 2ND APN AND IN THE WAP FIELD I USE "fast.t-mobile.com" I LEAVE ALL OTHER FIRLD BLANK.
When I want to send a MMS I just activate the TMobile Stock APN. When I tether I activate my custom APN.
Now the 1st method I use is using the STOCK TETHERING option.
Activate the Stock APN and Turn On Stock Tethering. "This is IF you have the 2.5GB tethering on your account.After the tethering is activated, on the computer you have to use a custom UA string on your web browser. For me I use "Google Chrome" and I installed the plugin "Ultimate User Agent Switcher" and I use the "Kindle" option. This will allow for full web access and TMobile will think your using a Kindle tablet.
Torrents also work since you have the ip4 APN activated.
My 2nd method is using USB Tethering to my PC with PDANet. Install PDANet on your phone and on the PC. And also have the custom APN activated in network settings. In PDANet Settings, go to HIDE TETHER USAGE VERSION 2. This will allow for FULL web use without the need for changing UA Strings.
With this method, I am also able to share the connection to my LAN port which is hooked to my NetGear Router so i can then ((RESHARE)) the connection again to my XBOX and PS3 and other devices allowing them to just connect to my router as normal.
Those are the 2 methods I use. I have LTE in my area and I do about 4MB/s or 40Mbps on average.
For this current month I have used at least 107GB for the month even though my plan is 2.5GB...

Thanks a lot for the detailed instructions and info.
I am a noob with Note 3 tethering options since I have not needed it at all (not even the 2.5 GB included), so I appreciate the specifics to help my understanding.
QUESTION re. method 1, "stock tethering, stock APN but UA switcher and custom UA profile (I assume this custom profile is done via UA switcher"?):
Does this method allow streaming on the connected device (laptop or tablet)? I.e. do I just need to go to my web browser to 'activate' the tethering connection?
Or do I need to do USB tethering with PDANet to allow streaming on the device that is tethered to my Note 3?
Thanks again!

1. PIA service is not free, I got a deal off of slickdeals.net that came to something around $22 a year if I'm not mistaken. But even at $35 I think its worth it. I use it on my home PC and all my mobile devices. I don't need an ISP seeing what I browse
2. Yes, you're correct about T-Mobile not being able to differantiate the traffic. Once I forgot to turn on VPN and after a while I got redirected to their page stating that I've exceeded the allowance. As soon as I engaged VPN I was able to browse right away again.
3. Sure there are free alternatives that might work, but with this solution I know I'm 100% safe not only from exceeding my allowance but also from any other prying eyes

Using VPN does work. The problem I had with using a VPN is that you dont get your full 4G or full LTE speed since all your data has to be encrypted to go through the VPN server.
Using the 2 methods I provided you not only get to bypass the 2.5 GB but you all get FULL 4G LTE speeds to your tethered devices.

Streaming on either of my methods work. If you go with the stock wifi tether, you just have to change your APN settings under network opetion on your phone from ip6 to ip4. THis is done by just creating a NEW APN and put in "fast.t-mobile.com" for your APN setting. After that is done, you can tether to other tablets or phones perfectly since those are mobile devices. For computers you have to change the UA String of your browser to a tablet or android device.
If you use the PDA Net method, you dont have to change the UA String, since the program itself has a way of blocking what kind of traffic is going through.

I use PDANet to Tether my phone via USB.
After that connection is established, depending on your version of windows, run your router to the LAN port on your computer and in NetWork Settings in Windows, set up ICS which is Internet Connection Sharing.
After that, you may have to power cycle the router to pick up the ip address and all that but from there, everything connected to the router will get full web access also. PDANet has a feature in the settings to hide your data traffic similer to using VPN so all data is counted as Phone Data and not Tethering.
At this rate, may be a while before I turn my Comcast back on. LTE also provides low latency and ping numbers.
Only down side I can see if during online games, when the NAT is more complex due to all the routing going on.

I use my tethering mostly for playing a few online games while I am at work(They really don't expect me to work the WHOLE time do they). It sounds like the second option would work better for me since the first option requires a UA switcher which you can't really for for say World of Warcraft. Is that accurate?
Why wouldn't you use wifi hotspot? Just curious. Weighing my options. Btw, thanks, I'm tethered using pdanet!
