I have an AT&T Fuze. I dont have Data Plan with it and I really do not want to accidentally use it. I have disabled the settings of the Media Net but sometimes I still think if I missed disabling some settings. I just want to use my Wifi for all my browsing and apps. AT&T mentioned to me that they can put a hold on this line that I cannot use Data Plan. Has anyone tried that?
I am sorry if this is not the right place to put this.
Thanks for looking
You can have ATT block data, but you will not be able to use MMS either. If that does not bother you, then that is definitely the way to go.
Or you could search for a cab called NOGPRS and that will solve your problems.

I searched for it and found the NoDATA cab. In the settings it says GPRS and MEDIA NET disabled.
Hopefully it is right
thanks

Hello,
I would like to know if anyone knows how to disable the internet access on the Touch Pro for i do not have a Data Plan for my phone yet, and i do not want to be billed for unnecessary data being used unkowingly.
Thanks in advance
i really haven't seen such a tool, but the safest way that i could think of is to change ur network setting to fake ones like random numbers and address, so in case of some app connecting on its own u wont be charged!!
ditto that. just remove the settings for media net.
thanks i shall try it out =]
I changed my "connections>advanced" settings to point to "My Work Network" rather than "Medianet" and disabled data in the wireless manager. I can still connect to my wireless network and use the internet but if I'm not on that it just times out. I'm checking my online billing every day since doing that as I'm still not 100% trusting of it but it seems good so far.
Just install this freeware app http://www.modaco.com/content/pocket-pc-software/246171/new-free-utility/
Works great.
I dont have a data package for my fuze so i want to disable it from connecting when i load an app that uses internet. I wish to have wifi as my default connection.
Is there a simple way to do this?
Search for the nodata app. It will allow you to disable all data connections other than wifi. I am in the same situation as you and it works out fine for me so far.

or you could just go to your connection settings and under advanced select My work network in both drop down boxes...
um you could just go to the connection settings and delete the dial up profile
Or you could just go to Comm Manager and turn off Data Connection.
go to settings, then Communications and turn off your data connection.
yeah but he doesnt have a data connection that wouldnt stop it from dialing up would it?
If there's no wifi - it will automagically turn the data connection back on (when it needs one - weather/email/etc.). Why there's even a switch.... i dunno.
Well i did disable so it didnt even come up so i dont get charged even the smallest amount. However youtube doesnt work with wifi, everything else does.

I have disabled data connection and Youtube works great for me over wifi, so don't worry, it's not a software limitation.
I cant figure it out then, it doesnt seem to work over wifi. Perhaps your just a lucky fuze user.
Edit:WOW JUST POSTED THIS, Tried it and now its working lol
You can always ask your service provider to put a data block on your account, just to be on the safe side

This might sound noobish, but do you have a step by step?? Is it on Settings>Connections>Advanced>Select Netwoks>....?? Thanks in advance.
Search and dowload NOGPRS cab. It should be a zipfile with a cab in it. Run the cab on yout phone. You should now have an icon that says Nodata. This allows you to toggle the connection so it can come on freely when needed by an app, or not come on at all even if an app needs it. Pretty self explanatory. No need to create fake accounts, or delete anything. If you delete stuff, then when you need to use it if ever, you have to re-enter everything. This eliminates that.
Hi All,
Im new here and very new to Windows Mobile (So far the experience has been great)
I have been trying to figure how to disable the data connection opening automatically (By a request from an application)
I disable the data connection from the Settings > Communications, however for example Garmin just re opens the connection for me (Which is rather expensive from were i am from)
As a work around i stay removing the Data Connection Profile and re creating it every time i need to use it once again...
Any ideas since its getting quite annoying..
Thanks!
search for NOGPRS cab. great program. lets you toggle for when you need it or dont./
Thanks for the Tip m8

Thanks! Just what I need. I only want to disable data when abroad.
Worked like a charm!
for those of us on at&t in the US, the YouTube app does not connect if I am connected to AT&T Data connection as well as a wi-fi at the same time. I used a registry editor (according to this post)and removed the value "wireless.cingular.com:80" from the Proxy setting under the key HKLM\Comm\ConnMgr\Providers\{EF097F4C-DC4B-4c98-8FF6-AEF805DC0E8E}\HTTP-{436eF144-B4FB-4863-A041-8F905A62C572}.
However since I flash so many ROMS, I would like to have this as a cab so that I can do it as a routine rather than remember the Registry key all the time.
Can anybody make a cab out of this?
Try this cab. You can also disable it in your network settings.
Thank you!!
thanks
thanks a bunch
This has been boggling me since I had the phone....why do the apps that come with the phone not use the data connection? I was killing me!
Thanks tons for this cab file! It did the trick...now all my apps (Opera 9 & Youtube) can use it without issue...3g or wifi. Awesome!
With the proxy, it prevents you from tethering.
Just like GPS they try to charge for everything but there is no need to pay for anything but a simple data plan.
F**k AT$T!
I've done my searching throughout this forum and can't seem to find the answer I'm looking for. I'm familiar to a minor degree in coding but not that adept to the Android yet. The phone has been rooted.I was wondering what file if any I can delete or move in the phone that will prevent the phone from accessing data through the network. My kid has the phone and seems to forget to shut the data off and I'm getting charged like crazy for the surfing she thinks is through Wi-Fi.
Thanks In Advance, apologies if this has been answered already!
You suggest looking into Onavo or 3G Watchdog.

Thank-you for your reply. What I'm looking for is a way to disable the ability of the phone to cennect to the internet through the network. My kid uses the phone and is running up my data bill. I can easily tell where it's at through the providers web site. I just want it shut off completely so I it just can't connect anymore.
TIA
So you basically want it permanently disabled? You might be able to do that my changing the APN settings, but the easiest way would probably be to call the carrier and tell them to disable all mobile data on the account.

Actually, that was the first thing I tried, their suggestion as expected was to buy a data add-on. Wasn't very helpful. I'll take a look at the APN settings as you suggest and go from there.
Thank-you for your help!!
