Only want WiFi. Can I prevent GPRS / EDGE ?

I dont have a data plan for my SP5m so my provider defaults any data access at a high "per KB" rate. Is there a way to prevent all GRPS/EDGE usage ? Ideally, I'd like to just be able to turn GPRS/EDGE "off".
the only thought I've had thus far is to use some "fake" settings so any attempt to use GPRS/EDGE would simply fail to connect.
Is there a solution or is my "fake" idea the way to go ? If I use the "fake" solution, what setting(s) do I need to change ?

I think all you have to do is delete the connection. Click the start menu then settings then connections and connections again. Then click on manage existing connections. Then take your stylus and hold it down on the connection name, for example for me it is tmobile, until a pop up box comes saying delete and connect. Tap on delete and your gprs settings are gone and you cannot connect.

If you want to keep your settings, maybe you can just create a new connection with fake settings and have that chosen as your connection when you dont want to use your providers GPRS.
The settings to change would be the number to dial, for me it is internet2.voicestream.com.

Goto Settings/Connections
Choose Connections, got to Advanced tab.
In "Programsthat automatically connect to internet should connect using:"
choose "My ISP". Or create new one with empty parameters..
Have fun....

deleted connection
Thanks for the easy solution (I like those types). I went ahead and deleted the GPRS connection. Things are behaving just the way I wanted !

stylus???
hmmm...I think SP5m does not have touch screen.
BTW: window mobile and window mobile smartphone are totally different OS.

This is not an easy solution to your request, but I just upgraded my QTEK 8300 to the latest Imate SP5M ROM and noticed that under the COMM Manager one can "Stop Data Services" by moving the joy stick to the icon or hitting number "5". It immediately stops the Data Flow (at least the G) disappears in the header. Not sure it is really stopping Data because when I go to WiFi and open IE, the G reappears. Might be due to the way I have my Cingular connections set up. I'll experiement some more and re-post later. I like the new ROM, snappier, the radio is much better in that I get a much better signal where I'm at.

Here's how you disable GPRS/EDGE Auto connect!!
Start > Settings > Connections > Manage my connections > Then just point to the list item and hold down until the menu pop up and select delete. Do it to all the items there such as T-Mobile / AT&T or Winmodem..etc... after you deleted everything and you go back to the connections page you will see "Add a new modem connection" under My ISP. Do not delete anything under "My Work Network"... Hope this help.

You can use Modaco NoData to disable GPRS/EDGE =D
Have a nice day

Please help with at&t media net connection...

I have at&t service with the HTC Fuze and I downloaded this 2.1 Edition of manila. I am now (after downloading and installing) having a problem connecting to the internet.. Please tell me the media net settings nd stuff that actually works.. what about proxy settings?? and it won't let me turn on the data connection in the wireless manager saying, "cannot connect for an unknown reason. To check your connection settings and change them if neeeded, tap settings...". If you know a solution please help.. I also have the NATF v4.5S ATT WWE rom... so should I have the proxy settings on and off option thing that's available on the menu like on the BJ2?
Much Appreciated in advance...

There is a cab floating around that can automate this process of setting up your phone for ATT.
I would actually go get the official HTC ATT Rom update and use that to get back up and running, I do believe it has the newest manilla in it (I could be very wrong about this).
I use RRE roms so they are setup for ATT already.
Under connection settings...manage existing connections... I have only Media Net as a cellular line (GPRS, 3g) at access point name 'wap.cingular' with user name [email protected] and password ? with no domain present. Under advanced it is Use Server Assinged IP and that is it.

Go to Settings\Connections\Connections\
Click on manage existing connections and go to Proxy settings.
Take out any proxy and check 'connects to the internet' and uncheck 'uses proxy'.
Click okay and in previous screen go to Advanced\Select Network and set both to MediaNet.
This should resolve any connnectivity issues.

[Q] att htc titan wont go to the internet

First suggestion: run Connection Setup app (from HTC Apps section in the Marketplace). If needed, you can install it using a PC.
Second suggestion: Try connecting over WiFi instead of cellular data; do you see the same weirdness?
Third suggestion: Call your operator (Simple Mobile) and ask them for help.

WiFi works just fine,when I call provider they say same things that I already did it,and about connection set up I don't have that app in HTC titan also I can't find it in market place fuf what next?

It should be in the HTC section of the market. otherwise search for "HTC" in marketplace. It has to be there. I don't know where you are, but here (germany) the apn for t-mobile internet is "internet.t-mobile". Go to T-mobile website there should be a configurator/help where they can send you a configuration sms

yes i solve problem

Mobile network is downloading items instead of loading webpage on mobile network.

Hi,
My HTC Sensation doesn't load webpages when on mobile network modus. it does through wi-fi but when i try to reach a page with my mobile network it starts downloading a file (don't know exactly what kind of file) and the internet screen just stays blank.
everything is fine if i reach the same webpage through wifi.
it's not website related because it happens with every single site i try to reach.
Thanks in advance,
Randy

I am going to go over some settings with you so you can just make sure that is not a problem with your settings getting changed.
Go to Settings/Wireless and networks/Mobile networks look to make sure you have these settings
Under Network mode make sure you have GSM/WCDMA auto checked.
Under Network operators select Search networks and when your network pops up select it. If this does not work try selecting Select automatically.

i made the steps and it looked fine when i opened the browser but after browsing to a second website i got the error again(translated from Dutch):
This type of data is not supported.
no application can be found to open this kind of file. do you want to download it?
"exit" | "Download"

Use shortcut master and search for IOT in Service Programu Hidden Menu. From there select "LTE Settings" then select operation mode and change from "Production Network" to "Lab Network"
This disabled the prompt for me.

Not sure if you've figured this out already, but you will need to search apn unlock in shortcut master. There will be an option to unlock apn, select the option and apn should now be editable.

The app that shows this annoying message its called: "qcrilmsgtunnel.apk", you can freeze it but never DELETE IT, never.
¿Why? Because if you perform a factory reset your phone will never start again, you will be stuck in the activation screen when the setupwizard its calling this app (qcrilmsgtunnel.apk), i wasted 4 hour fixing this bug caused by myself.
I think that the best option its the one provided for garikaim (BTW thank you friend)
Be warned guys
