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

(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.
I have an ATT Tilt2 with an unlimited data plan.
Since I installed the new ROM the data connection keeps turning off and on without warning. It is interfering with various programs that use that connection and I never know when it is going to happen.
For example: When I get up in the morning, most of the time, there is an error message on screen telling me that the system failed to dial out to make a connection.
When it is off and try to turn it on manual it doesn't work. I go to the "Wireless Manager" page and turn the "Data Connection" on. It acts like it is trying to activate then after a second or two it turns off while I am watching the switch. The only way then to turn it back on is power down the phone and restart.
I don't use WiFi very much and most of the time it is turned off. Normally, when everything is working okay the only items on are the: Phone and Data Connection.
Does anyone know how to fix this problem and keep the Data Connection "ON?"
Thank you,
Richard..
Here is the error message that pops up when the data connection fails:
Dialed:
Cannot connect for an unknown reason. To check your connection settings and change them if needed, tap Setting. If the problem contineues reset your mobile device accroding to the manufacture's documenteation and try again.
I have reset my device and this problem continues to occur. The only way to reset it is to restart the phone.
I tried to download 'whatsapp messenger' about a week ago. It didn't download but was queued instead. So I have a constant ongoing "download is queued" message in my notifications. It's annoying. There is no option to download it or delete it. Ho do I get rid of it
silly question but have you put it on a wireless connection since? there is a featrue 'data saver' which queues downloads untill you're on a fast data connection. maybe you could try turning this feature off if enabled maybe that would jump start it? or if off, try turning it on, then off?
settings -> data manager -> data saver
also maybe check the settings under data delivery, make sure background data is on
