Hi is it possible to activate (sign in google) over wifi? instead of using data plan ?
Nope. The stickied thread called "How to register the G1 without a sim or data plan" is full of lies
Actually you can
I just did it but u have to have the Magic rom to be able to do it
Is pretty cool that way since it lets you turn wifi on then sign in

You can, just look for the "How to register the G1 without a sim or data plan" thread. You should really google any question before you ask until you are completely clueless how to do it.

Well my friend doesn't have a data plan. He wants to root his phone, but wants to know if there's a rom where you can select wifi option to activate the phone.

good luck
All of Cyanogen's roms allow you to skip the setup, connect to wifi, then login to your google account by opening up the market.

Hi,
I have a Nexus S with Koodo in Canada. I have the possibility to send unlimited MMS, but it doesn't seem to work. I called the tech support and they are telling me that the only way to be able to use that option, it is by enabling Data.
I don't have any data plan. I asked to the tech support if it was possible to block all the data except the MMS, but he said me no. The only way he gave me is when I'm trying to send a MMS, enable Data and turn it off after. The problem is that many applications automatically use the Internet when possible. For every MB, I would need to pay 3$...
Is it possible to activate Data, but blocking everything on my device? I'm sure their must be a way, like blacklisting every servers except the one dealing with MMS.
Any idea? I tried an application called Quick Settings, but it doesn't seem to work when Data is off and MMS is on.
Thanks
Have you tried to set your APN type to "mms" rather than "default"?

Is there a way to know before I activate the data that it won't sync my other applications?
I don't think so, but if you activate data with only an mms apn present, I don't think you will see a 3g icon in your status bar unless you're sending an mms.
Sent from my Nexus S using xda premium
go to settings->wifi/networks->mobile data->apns->select your apn and edit it
Scroll to the very bottom setting, make sure it says ONLY "mms" and NOT "default,mms".
Alternatively, you can root your phone and install droidwall and select exactly which apps can access 3g/wifi.
I think it's a bit silly and disingenuous for your carrier to sell you an MMS plan knowing you don't have a data plan (and that MMS uses data) but then don't show you or direct you on how to then set it up e.t.c..
With Droidwall, can I prevent some apps from using 3G, but able to use WiFi instead?

It would be easier to try it for yourself . But yes, you can do that. I've just checked

Usually MMS plans come /w a specific APN that is set to "MMS" only as barqers explained earlier. Ofc this is getting a bit more "delicate" on devices that almost require a data plan to function at all (and try to enable it themselves on a fresh setup).
Does anyone know how to enable the internet calling for the Sensation? I live in the Netherlands and have Vodafone. I have a data plan where I am allowed to use it, just see a bunch of empty fields in the settings and wasn't sure what I should put here to enable it.
Apologies I used the wrong wording when titling this thread.
Before someone pays no attention to the body of the op's posts, he's asking about voip/sip.
Sorry I can't help much, but maybe my sentence above will help people get you the info you desire.

Yeah it says to add your account settings and I don't know what those are. Will probably pay a visit to Vodafone later today.
I think you are mixing up two separate things:
1. WIFI Calling is a way to use your Mobile Operator's services via any wifi network. In this case to connect to Vodafone NL not through cell transmission but wifi. To the best of my knowledge, only Orange UK have this service in Europe.
2. Internet Calling: Using a 3rd party as VoIP provider. You need to subscribe to such a service. Your chosen provider will give you a username,password and his domain. You enter these into Settings>Call>Internet Calling and you can then use the service. There are alternative SIP/VoIP apps that can easily be found in the Android Market.

Yes I guess I did have them mixed up. Thanks for the info!
Okay, say I bought a galaxy s2 skyrocket without a plan. Then I rooted it and downloaded a wireless tether app to make my phone a wireless hotspot. I then downloaded a VoIp app like (textPlus).
What I'm wondering is will I be able to talk anywhere like a regular cell phone but without the charge? Because the VoIp app needs internet to receive/send calls and texts. And the wireless tether will provide that. So yeah, I'm just wondering if its possible to make it a phone without call/texting/data charges.
Thank you.

Oh damn. Haha well okay thanks.
When you say tether....
Dont you mean just turn on the Wifi - therefore using it on a WiFi connection?
THAT should work - in theory.

Well I meant to activate the wireless hotspot device in the phone. Thus allowing you to use internet anywhere and letting you use the VoIp app (textPlus) anywhere.
The wireless hotspot uses the cell service for the internet connection. So if the phone is not activated then no it won't work. You could use the voip to make calls when you have access to someones wifi or using an open connection by wardriving.

When you activate wifi tether the phone needs to be activated because cell service is used for the data connection. So the answer is no.

google voice over 4g data
Search on play store for GrooVe IP. It is a paid ($5) app that claims to route google voice calls over the phones data connection.
I know this probably seems a little crazy or weird. But is there any way that I could more permanently turn my mobile data connection off and still use wifi networks? If there is a way to do so I would greatly appreciate any insight or help. Thanks

Crazy indeed lol, but you should have a quick tile that says "mobile data" which you can turn off or another that says airplane mode which you can turn on. After you can turn on WiFi and use it. You might need to do this every time you reboot but it's the easiest way.

Thanks for the reply Stig. I am aware of the quick tile, I was thinking of something that is a little more permanent that would require some effort to turn mobile data back on. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Yeah I understand, figured I'd share the easiest method just in case Are you S-OFF? A more permanent method might require you be S-OFF, I'm not 100% sure but just fyi...
I am indeed S-off. But I am not a developer. Haha. Perhaps there is a way, but if there isn't that is ok too.
Just out of curiosity what is going on that you want it to be so permanent?

What about removing the sim card? I remember seeing either a thread or an xposed module that removes the no sim card notification.
Edit: there is indeed an xposed module for this, only thing though is I don't know if it will work with the M8 and the support page is some Asian language.

I want to be able to make/receive calls and use WiFi. And the WiFi has filters in place to keep things safe but I don't want to have the ability to bypass the filters simply by using mobile data. I wouldn't be able to make/ receive calls without a sim card in, right Stig?

Correct you cannot have any mobile communication without a Sim card.

If your on wifi you can make and receive calls over wifi with google voice. Just set up a free google voice number and you can call and text over wifi. Also if you have or get a phone number through magicjack you can use their app and make and receive calls over wifi. Both of these work over wifi and do not require a sim card or mobile data of any kind, you just can only call or text if you have wifi available though.

What does someone do if you want to sell or give that tablet
Before you data plan stop for that device. Even if you do a
Factory reset anyone can turn the mobile data ON!

Take the sim card out of it. Without a sim, it doesn't matter if mobile data is on or not. No sim means no service. You can use the sim in your new device if you're replacing the old one. Otherwise, throw it away.
