Well, background data is required when you want to access market or want to sync your contacts, calendar, and events with google...if you don't need market, you can disable this option...
If you want to, you can create a dummy APN with no server address. Once you connect to it, the mobile internet will stop connecting.
COuld you teach me how to create? I am abit not sure about this.
Go to Settings>Wireless & Network>Mobile Network>Access Point Names>Menu>New APN.
Now type the Name as 'Off' and type the APN as 'dummy' and save it. When you select that APN, your Mobile internet will turn off.
Cheers.

Any way to disable gprs in the handset. Some of my applications are using gprs for updating and my service provider is charging me like anything. I have wifi and want to use that alone for data... is there a setting somewhere which will help me in disabling GPRS
i tried the nodata ( nogprs) application but its not working for me

Do you need GPRS at all? If not, go to Settings->Connections->Connections->Manage existing and delete everything.
Setting > Connection and select "my work network" as internet connection instead of your provider's one.
You can change it back anytime you need to really use GPRS

In the registry you’ve got the following key:
HKLM\Comm\ConnMgr\Providers\{7C4B7A38-5FF7-4bc1-80F6-5DA7870BB1AA}\Connections
Export this key to enable GPRS later on.
Go inside your data connections and you’ll find a key, “Enabled." This key has a value 1, change this for every connection to 0.
There, you're done.
You could try to go to the Comm Manager and disabling "Phone" and activating Wi-Fi.
Hope this helps!
Try the Moto Toggle Widget on the market. Requires root, but works
Is there an option on the 8525 to disable GPRS completely? I have MediaNet blocked on my account, just to be on the safe side. Being overly cautious, I even changed the settings for GPRS from the AT&T defaults by using fake letters for the connections.
With that said, it is annoying that when I lose connection with the Wi-Fi, it tells me the GPRS failed. It's like, hello -- yea I know, I don't want it on my device!
I have used Wi-Fi successfully to find websites at home, work, and a local restaurant. I even used it to send a yahoo IM without needing MediaNet, which uses data or even messaging. The next thing that needs to be addressed is avoiding the GPRS messages.
Oh yea, when IE opens, I would like to get rid of the AT&T screen as the default. I tried to delete the page, but it wouldn't let me do so! Is there a way to change the "homepage"?
Thanks for all future help!
Yes there is. Go to start>settings>connections> connections> and edit everything you see there and delete it (tap and hold). I have this done because i also don't have a data plan.

That was a temporary fix. It doesn't say GPRS error anymore, but now it says:
"
Error S7019: Cannot connect to server. Please
check your data
connection and try again.
"
I've only tried it on "Xpress mail" so far, it may be only on that program. Does Xpress mail only work on the AT&T MediaNet connection?
If anyone is still reading this, I recently removed both the AT&T and Cingular Xpress Mail programs from the device. Haven't checked other programs to see if it's still trying to access the AT&T internal internet. However, that was the program that created the previous error posted.
Hi everybody!
I have a little issue using my work's exchanger server connectivity on HTC Touch Pro.
Issue: To access internet, my provider uses their "walled garden" APN, which allows me to access their services & general web.
This APN, however fails to work with Exchange.
To overcome this, they have given me another APN, which allows me to access Exchange/Push & Internet but not their services.
Now, it is really, REALLY annoying have to change APNs every time I need to access different info (web vs. provider's page) and I have not been able to find anywhere to specifically point Active Sync to use the required APN as it only has option for "Internet", which I assume is the generic active access point
Dialling rules also are useless as I'm using HSDPA with no proxy to access web.
Apologies if this is all too confusing and thank you in advance for your assistance

Thank you!!!
So I have done that and can have 2 multiple APNs running at the same time!
It seems, however, that both connections have to be "ON" at the same time as when all APN are disconnected, it doesn't chose the correct data account but always the one that is higher on the list.
Is there a way to overcome this - is there a way to prioritise which data account I want to be used first?
Thank you again

Hi, I have a HTC Kaiser with BlackBerry Connect and I don't have the issues you describe. BBC creates it's own APN which is not used for anything else. In 'Connections' I have 'My ISP' set to use the Vodafone APN I manually defined. Under normal circumstances BBC keeps its own APN connection active, if I open IE or another app that uses the Internet then the Vodafone APN activates and the apps send their traffic over this connection.
One issue I have is that there is no way to disconnect only one APN connection, when you click 'disconnect' both APN connections are closed, however a few seconds later the BBC one reactivates.
EDIT: Sorry, scratch that... For some reason I though you were using BBC - don't ask me why, obviously my brain was wandering elsewhere. But back to your original problem. I don't use Exchange ActiveSync and I don't know if you can configure ActiveSync to use a specific APN like BBC? You might be able to configure the Exchange Servers URL to be in your Exceptions list so it uses your 'My Work Connection' instead of the 'My ISP' and therefore uses a different APN? I am not sure if it would work, but worth trying?

you don't need anything. just read the manual
You could use the application "Data Controller", i have it installed cause this annoyed me aswell.
Data controller allows you to shut down any non-wifi signal your phone is currently transmitting (like the data link & wap etc.)

Thank you for the hint, but searching for it I found a new 'version' updated to work with Manila Windows Phone, called Manila Dial-up Enabler/Disabler.
Now what I do need, it is to find a way to use facebook through wifi/wlan ..
Has anybody already discovered how to have facebook using only wifi or activesync connections?
I will Copy/Paste the steps since new users cant post links
Prevent your phone from using the data connection when you want to ensure that it will never connect to the Internet via GPRS/3G.
On the Home screen, slide to the Settings tab and then tap Wireless controls.
1-Tap Menu > Connections and then tap Add a new modem connection.
2-Enter Offline as the name of the connection.
3-In the Select a modem list, select Cellular Line (GPRS), and then tap Next.
4-Enter Offline as the access point and then tap Next.
5-Tap Finish.
6-Tap Manage existing connections and then select Offline.
7-Press BACK and then tap Done.
Restoring the data connection:
1-On the Home screen, slide to the Settings tab and then tap Wireless controls.
2-Tap Menu > Connections and then tap Manage existing connections.
3-Tap the name of your mobile operator's data connection.
4-Press BACK and then tap Done.
Hope this will help
Is there a way to ONLY set my dataconnection for MMS, but NOT for everything else? because I pay a lot when it's on.. my HD2 uses the dataconnection for everything, but I only want my WLan for apps. And for MMS data.
yes actually
try this:
http://www.modaco.com/content/pocket-pc-software/246171/new-free-utility-nodata/
I havent tested it working on hd2 but I used it on my old omnia and it worked flawlessly.
(you could also just remove the internet settings but not the mms settings, they are stored seperately, but this will remove your ability to connect to the net in the future if you need to.)
great I will try it this evening thanks
edit: won't this stop my entire dataconnection (included mms?)
found sth else: will try this tonight: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=datacontroller+cab
no, nodata allows you to specify which data connection is enabled and which is enabled, mms and internet use different connections so they appear seperately in the list to enable/disable.
