[Q] Simple software to automatically disable GPRS/UMTS data while roaming? - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps

Hi out there,
searching for a while now. Found nothing, but CommMgrPro which is way to much.
I search for a simple software to automatically disable GPRS/UMTS data while roaming and enable it back when logged into my provider again.
Would be nice to have more than one "home" provider.
Any hints? Thanks and happy holidays.

the simplest way is change your mobile while roaming
i was surprised that my htc touchpro activate
data communication automatically while i
had disactivated data com before.

Modaco NoData

Thanks. At least a simple way to enable and disable.
My problem is that i live close to the boarder (germany/france) and that i flip into roaming here really fast.
An automatic solution is needed very urgend.
Locking to my provider is ok, but the htc asks me what provider to join, when back.
All that sucks.
I cant believe that there is no solution.
Is CommMgrPro able to handle that?

Nobody?
Nobody else who got this problem and nobody who got a solution?
Is CommMgrPro able to handle that? The documentation is bad.

Maybe you can PM danielherrero.
He's the creator of CommMgrPro.

I am very interested in this as well - and from my searching seems a lot of others would be interested in an automated system.
My network provider automatically roams to another specific provider when in a non-coverage area (small pockets within metro areas and rural). The problem is that the data cost when roaming is ridiculous. I use Push Email for work and while on roaming want GPRS access to be disabled until I am connected back with my provider.
I've installed NoData by MoDaCo which is good but this requires the user to remember to enable/disable GPRS.
*EDIT*
I found exactly what I needed after a more searching - Wombat's PhoneRoam Script (Stay Connected to High Speed Networks Only). Will see whether it does the job

I agree to have more that only one network provider. Here in Belgium we can subscribe to Vodafone passport that enable to use "free" of charge the data on any Vodafone network, but when I go in France it switch to other provider and in that case my push mail is expensive... I'm also in the boarder of France.
So basicaly :
1/ A very very simple prg that disable the data automatically if roaming.
2/ A version 2 that would put all permited network provider even if roaming.
Thanks

This thing exists for the iPhone. Its a simple switch in the interface.
You can select "Data-Roaming" on/off, thats all.
Where is it in WM?

Because Apple is looking this forum (like MS) to know required features and this one is in the back log.

Modaco is fine but when you are at the border is quite difficult to follow your carrier and disable data time by time...or even remember you are switching to another country after few km and you always have one app trying to connect (Tomtom, weather, opening a mail...)
Modaco it's what I use actually but let me forget stressing an unwanted roaming data connection...
a+

Used NoData and application is still able to connect...
Hi,
I switched off all data connections in the registry (using frost Advanced Config, than also tried NoData) and in general windows mobile apps aren't able to connect... but I have a one third party application, which is somehow able to ignore that and connect even when the data connection is toggled to DISABLED...
Any ideas how to REALLY disable data connections (for roaming)...

here is the automatic solution http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=503131
this will automatically disable ALL data in roaming and re-enable under home provider without any user configuration - nothing to toggle

disable GPRS roaming

I want to disable GPRS roaming. GPRS for Home Network should still work. Is there an SW available or maybe some registry hack to accomplish this.
I'm interested too. Is it possible?
One alternative
Search for Modaco Nodata, this application allows you to manually enable or disable individually your data connections.
this one.....
Works great for me I use the 8125 and always use wifi

Any idea if this will this work on an HTC 6800 (aka Mogul)? It's EVDO, not GPRS.
Thanks

GPRS Connecting at startup!

Have searched for this and find nothing:
Whenever I restart my TyTn, GPRS connects automatically. I have not configured my email to check for mails at specific intervals. Please help me with this. Thanks!
I think your connection is configured as "always on". You can change it in the registry....

Indeed, or if you're not confident about changing registry use something like Tweaks2k2 to make the change for you along with lots of other little tricks.

You could try a less drastic approach:
Check:
Settings, Connection-tab, Connections, Advance-tab.
(hope this is correct, I don't have an english rom-version)
There you should be able to select which connection is automatically used. I have this on T-Mobile default connection since I have an unlimited dataplan and use direct-push.
When using the phone as modem, I have to switch this "off"/different setting eg. work connection to avoid conflicts.
Hope this helps

We like drastic, drastic is sooooo gooood!!
Seriously though the originator does not say he does not want to use GPRS only that he does not want it starting automatically. So the connection type maybe correct only it needs its bottom smacked for running off without daddy. We have ways in the registry to control such dis-respectful behaviour and baby Hermes must be punished or else get sent to bed with no active sync with Mummy.

Thanks for your help. I am quite comfortable with editing the registry. What specifically in the registry should I edit. Thanks!
EDIT: I already FOUND it! Thanks for the help everyone!!!

Disable Data and stay off!

I do not have Data on my contract (orange) and am quite happy using Wifi at home and work,but I find my phone likes to switch over when it feels like it to HSDPA etc.
In options I switch data to off but my phone likes to overide this! I have to race to switch it off to avoid an enhanced monthly bill!
Does anyone know how to stop this?
Thanks
Your phone will use which ever is giving the best signal - I would imagine wifi by default...
Or Try app like NoDate
omg, this is the zillion time when somebody ask that question
why don't you use the search option? as somebody said, "search is your friend".
ok, i will write here what can you do, beside use nodata or other application
maybe a mod can add it to wiki...
so:
settings-connections-connections-advanced-select networks
go to "Programs that automatically connect to the Internet..."
on the pop up menu chose each option that includes your phone network operator (in my case is Orange and one of the options looks like "Orange Internet") - edit - proxy settings and here uncheck the box "This network connects to the Internet"
repeat the procedure for each option that has your operator name included
a soft reset may be recomended but not absolutely necessary!
after that the network icon (G or E or whatever) will be gray and no data transmission will be allowed. if it is not grey, then your settings are not right.
et voila! There you are!
good luck!

Thanks for the replies. I will do a search next time, I am quite new to using forums
again thanks!

Money for internet

Hi,
I have got HTC HD for 3 days and HTC instead of connecting via wifi is connecting by operator (paid internet). How to completely block paid internet?
Thanks!
You could call your provider and tell them to remove that option from your plan.
Modaco nodata works good...
also, under settings--connections---advanced, make sure that everything connects to work, and not isp
So I should choose ISP? What should I choose in this row? Or how can I break in opisons my connections to operator?

NOT isp
settings--connections--connections--advanced--select networks
both tabs should say "my work network"
any program trying to use internet will use whatever connection is available (in your case and my case, wi-fi).

But is it possible to block paid connection (only by mailing my opertor?)
I had the same problem. NoData works great as does HD Tweak... Try them both!

Yes, I used to have the same problem, as I'm one of the few who don't have data plans around here...yes sad...I know. I decided to call ATT and tell them to block all data, they told me that I would not be able to receive multimedia text messages, but I really didn't care. Anytime the phone tries to connect via 3G, it simply tells me that the connection is not available.

Install attached file then run to toggle both settings and switch internet on or off.
Or you could use BsB tweak to disable data connections...
Both work
Both work like a charm!
Thankss from me and my phone-bill!
Timo
By default application sees you are roaming and don't download anything automatically. (browsers are not blocked, but, it's not automatic download.) As soon you have Wifi connection working, they'll download info. Almost every application let you choose if you want to download when roaming.
