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.

Thanks for the suggestion. I would still like to have communication even with out the WiFi. I realize that this might not be possible and I really appreciate everyone's suggestions and help.
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.

Hi everyone
There is a way to block all data connection for my device?
I have no data plan, I wish my device asks me each time it connects to the internet (via hsdpa)...
When you go to the communications manager where u turn on/off wifi bluetooth etc, there is also a switch for data plan. When i have that as off no internet works.
[EDIT] just noticed that the data transfer switches automaticaly on if i click on a webbrowser

Exactly my problem
under settings>connections>connections>manage existing connections
you'll find the data settings for your network. Delete them from here and stop ALL data connections.

Mhmh, this is a temporary solution I've thought of
If I can find/make a program that erases and then restores the network settings, it would be great
Let's see if there is something for this in the WM API...
If you don't want anything as permant as my last suggestion then maybe go in to connections again >advanced>select network and choose the two options to 'my ISP'. This options can easily be changed back.
Very interested to know about this also as my device comes within the next 7 days and I won't have a data plan sorted.
So following John k's suggestion i can stop emails coming through automatically also?

There is a simpler fix for this, just set the email send/receive delay to "manual", so it won't download any data.
In the same way, the automatic weather update can be disabled.

excellent ... thanks mate is there anything else which is using the data connection in the background if you know what I mean? Not web browsers for instance
You might want to look up "modaco nodata". Switch your connections on and off when you want.
Any way to do this? I've only got SMS and mms working using mod but wanted to make calls using my simcard in the xoom
Look into groove IP and Google voice....
Sent from my Xoom using XDA
Glock stole my thunder. Groove IP and Google Voice works like a charm.
What about just actually making calls using my sim card without data on the mobile network itself
i would like to know this as well
I had it working from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21812012 the patch here...tho it kinda made the system unstable ...when id open phone (the dial pad? It would always force close....also the speakers & mic arent active so may be you could try ur luck with a bluetooth headset !

Do you mean calling off wifi as opposed to using a 3g or 4g network? If so, then yes you can with groove ip. I have the mz602 without mobile data enabled, and am able to call people off my google contacts with my tablet. To disable mobile data I believe you just swap your tablet to airplane mode. I havent been able to recieve calls but, from what I understand, that is just a matter of changing the settings and enabling google chat.... it is somewhere in the forums, another thing in my list of things to do
Hope this helps

Can my motorola xoom wifi work with my sim card because i wanna make phone calls with it and also receive sms and mms on, as my mobile phone
Hey all! I've tried googling/searching XDA, but I must have my terms wrong or no one is talking about it.
Question: Is there a way to restrict which mobile networks my phone will connect to?
Device: Google Nexus 5 32gb, Stock Rom/Kernel with Root access
I'm switching to a T-Mobile Simple Choice plan with free 2g data in 100 countries, and going on a cruise shortly after. A couple of the ports of call are on the list, while others are not on the list. It sure would be nice to just leave my phone on and have it only connect to the free networks. I contracted T-Mobile and was pointed to a document letting me know that I will be notified if charges are incurred, but I'd rather not get charged at all. This I could solve manually by carrying the list of countries with me and only turning off airplane when I am there, but that does seem like a pain to me.
The other problem, cruise ships have cell networks onboard now. These networks are charged as international and not included in the Simple Choice deal. Even if I am in port, I am concerned I may still connect to this netowork. I imagine there is an app I could use to at least see which network I am on (I can't find it indicated in Settings anywhere - probably blind), but I would need to prevent my phone from roaming onto that network when both are in range.
I'd really appreciate any thoughts/suggestions. The only thing I can think of is some kind of custom block that would like me restrict network connections. All way over my head.
Thanks again
Matt
You're going to have to manually select them. I'd turn data roaming off until you get some where you know you can turn it on. Also, most port of calls have Wi-Fi and I'd use that where you can. You can often even get it on the ship at a port, although you might have to find the right location on the ship where you can do that.

Thanks for the tip about Wi-Fi networks. Absolutely. Unfortunately, I'm not even sure how to manually select the network to which my phone connects. Any advice on where/how to select that?

I hope this hasn't been answered before but searching through these forums with the keyword "tether" and also searching google I have found no solutions
I am tethering my phone's data connection to my laptop, but every time I receive a phone call my connection gets interrupted. I am using my phone's data connection because the wifi here is garbage cause the family is constantly streaming videos.
So what I want is a way to stop receiving calls or even better is my data connection not to be interrupted while receiving calls. Either way is a solution for me.
As an avid gamer, even a few seconds of disconnect feels like a lifetime. Hope someone can help! :good:
Check your operator if it support VoLTE. If yes and your phone software was modified by operator than you just need to activate VoLTE in data settings and you will be able to transfer data during calls.

I'm sorry but what? Check my operator? I'm not quite sure what that means. I checked everywhere in settings and could not find something that resembled VoLTE. A more noob friendly walk through would help.
Edit: Looked around and found out that my phone doesn't have that option where some galaxy S8+ do have the option. How do I enable seeing it?

Still interrupts my connection, I still receive the call but it's just muted. If there was a way to forward all calls to voicemail maybe?
still having a really bad time over here guys help ?
ValueDD Did you enabled VoLte ? Without it data interruption during call is completely normal. If you are on 4G standard when incoming data call is detected then you phone need to switch to 2G to handle it and in this standard other data than vice call cannot be transmitted . Because of that couple years ago VoLte standard was developed which allows to handle calls in 4G technology. For VoLte working it need to be enabled on your phone which need to be supported by our carrier as a VoLte standard itself...If your phone is unsupported than you phone wouldn’t have voice over LTE switch present in the system.

Hi,
I've noticed that my data is cut off when I make a regular cellular phone call. Is that normal?
I use sim1 for phone calls, and sim2 for data, so I had expected that I could use them both at the same time. It's a little annoying because I use my cell data for an internet connection.
Does it depend on the type of connection? I think they are both 4G most of the time...when I'm a phone call on sim1, sim2 puts up a little hour glass next to the signal meter...I've not seen that before.
I'm assuming you've setup both sims correctly for their required purposes? A good read about it here.

Thanks for that!
I think I had set it up that way earlier, but have been fiddling to try to get it to work and had disabled one or two of those things.
In any case, I have now enabled them, but it still doesn't work - ie, if I make a call using one sim, the other one gets a small 'hour glass' next to it and the things using it for an internet connection get disconnected.
I wonder if there's a way to completely disable 'voice' for the sim I'm using for data only?
