Completely Turn off Data

Is there anyway to completely turn off the Data portion and still have the phone features to use? I noticed that on the Droid 2 there is an option for this, but could not find it on the Fascinate. This would probably help on the battery side of things if we could turn the Data off

I have used the app "APNDROID 2.5 beta" found at:
http://code.google.com/p/apndroid/downloads/detail?name=apndroid-2.5beta.apk
This changes the APN names and thus stops data usage (WIFI still works).
Only the 2.5 or 3.0 versions work on CDMA phones such as the Fascinate.
This also works with the app "3G Watchdog" to turn off data usage when it reaches a certain level.

  • How do I completely turn off iPhone backups to my Mac?

    How do I completely turn off iPhone backups to my Mac?  I have an MBP with a 250 GB SSD running Mountain Lion that I use primarly for work and I'm getting low on disk space.  I'm having a clear out and I noticed that my iPhone and iPad back ups use about 20 gigs which is too much. Neither carries important data and my phone photos are already covered by iPhoto auto backing up to a remote library. I don't want to pay for an iCoud account. Any ideas?

    You need to sync your iPhone contacts with the Address Book on your Mac, which is as designed and intended.
    Before the first sync for this data, enter one contact in the Address Book on your Mac. Make this contact up if needed, which can be deleted later. This will provide a merge prompt with the first sync for this data, which you want to select.
    Syncing contacts with the Address Book is selected under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.
    The same applies before syncing calendar events with iCal if you aren't using iCal on your Mac for calendar events.

  • Turning off data services

    Hi, I was just wondering why you can't use wi-fi when you select to turn data services off. The problem is, is that for this 1 month I don't have unlimited data so need to make sure I don't spend much. Also will any services try to use the data service without user interaction? Thanks for your help

    Whenever i turn data services off though it seems to also turn wi-fi off somehow.
    It connects to a network however whenever i try to use anything it comes up with 'Unable to connect to the internet, please try again later.' The wi-fi diagnostics menu also says that the 'IP address no longer valid'
    Whenever i turn data services back on wi-fi goes back to normal. Weird.
    I have a feeling that you don't have the browser set as a Hotspot browser, then. 
    Even if you turn off Data Services, your Wifi Hotspot browser should work fine. I have one Bold device with no SIM even it, in which I can access and browse the internet on it via only WiFi using the Hotspot browser.

  • How to completely turn off Bluetooth and Wireless

    Hey everybody,
    I'm running Windows XP SP3 via Boot Camp and I was wondering if anyone can assist me in how to completely turn off Bluetooth and Wireless connectivity so that I can reserve as much batter life while being in class taking notes without a plug-in source, but not uninstall. I know there is a Bluetooth control panel and I disabled it there but under "connect to" its still remains there. Basically I want to have the Bluetooth and Wireless turned off completely when I startup and still have the icons shown in the taskbar to let me know that they are still there.
    Thanks!

    Joergen Thomson, I can see that you have the same thoughts like I do, I wish they could release a software that is stable and better then this.
    I dont have the energi or time to report all flaus back to cisco, this product have taking to much of my time and frustration already. Thank you so much for all the time you spend to try get this product stable and hopefully a good product.
    I have a costumer that have a webservice that is IP restricted, For now I have to define more then 93 policys openening for the same service because this doesnt handle address list and groups. And all the times I had to set it back to factory default becasue of HTTP Admin server stopped, VPN Problem, Firmware Upgrades, "Packet Loss" and so on takes alot of time becasue I need to reconfig policies back.
    For now to they release a firmware is stable I have take this piece off the network and put the back a old Fortinet 60 box.

  • HT1807 I have an iPhone 3s.  How do I turn OFF data roaming?

    I am traveling in Mexico.  I have an iPhone 3s.  How do I turn OFF data roaming?  Under SETTINGS I don't see Network. I don'r see it under SETTINGS/General either.

    What you should do, if you don't want any nasty surprises, is put your phone in Airplane mode. That turns off all iPhone radios, but you can go back into settings & turn WiFi back on.
    Do not rely on the data roaming setting to protect you.

  • Inability to turn off data -- big problem

    Well...it was great to be one of the first in Australia with an iPhone as I bought mine a week ago and then immediately left on a business trip. Roaming works fine, etc.
    But...and it's a big but....not being able to turn off data is problematic. I have not used safari or mail once since landing -- yet I've still chalked up data use. The fact that the phone is doing something in the background...sending out data over Telstra...is a pain. Its not a lot of money...but global data roaming rates are expensive. I should be able to turn it off...
    ...or give me unlimited worldwide data....
    Big shortcoming....

    I have never tried this, but I question whether or not it will work. I read in an early review of the iPhone that one of the idiosyncrasies was that wifi would not work until the phone was activitated. Without the SIM card installed, the phone won't know that it is activitated -- so your plan to use wifi without the SIM card may not work.
    Has anybody done this already with success?

  • Is there any way to turn off data and use only wi fi

    is there any way to turn off data and use only wi fi, going to a foreign country and do not want to use data but wi fi will be available. I want to be sure to use only wi fi

    Yes there is!
    Simply go into Settings, General, Mobile Data, Turn this off and make sure Data Roaming is also switched off! You can have wifi on and this will no charge your account for the data you use via Wi-Fi!

    then under system there is date & time, ptinter settings, accessibility, developer options and about phone.

  • How do I completely turn off the backlit keyboard without using F5 and F6?

    I believe my keyboard short circuited after a spill this weekend. I'm currently using a usb keyboard from Apple. I have disabled the keyboard, on my laptop, now I want to completely turn off the backlight. I've looked in the settings and can't seem to find anything. Thanks.

    hi mtbomb,
    hi Can you while the Power LED is blinking hold the power down don't let it go until the light disappeared.
      Technically the Yoga13 should turn off while holding down the power. at least 10 to 15 sec.
    I would suggest calling Technical Support if the above steps did not resolve the issue.
      It's possible that when you turn on the system, it is not going to sleep but the blinking indicates failure.
    Best regards

  • Lg chocolate touch - how do I turn off data when traveling international?

    I m going to travel international and will not be using data and don't want to get high data charges abroad, so I want to disable data before I leave and re-enable when I return. How is that done on the LG Chocolate Touch? I did not see any references to turning off data is the user manual.
    Thanks.

        I understand your concern to bypass roaming charges! Please share your travel destination, so I may advise accordingly.  There is no option on your current device to simply disable/enable data.  I suggest not accessing any data, disabling any email account and subscriptions that automatically use data.  Thank you.

  • How do I turn off data on my Extrovert 2?

    How do I turn off data on my Extrovert 2?  There is nothing in the settings to do this.  I am getting small data usage showing up even though I never go on the internet or access emails, and I have a pay per use data plan.  I don't really want any data plan at all, and didn't use to have one, but when I returned my defective phone, the rep who placed the order added a $10.00/month data plan, without my consent.  When I called to get it removed, the rep changed it to a "pay per use" plan.  I want things back to the way they were.  I don't want ANY data plan.  I only use the phone for calls and texts, and am not sure why small data amounts are showing up on some days, from .00001 to .00021 mg.

    You should be able to log into your on-line My Verizon account (assuming you're the Account Owner) and put a data block on the line, or call Customer Service and have them do it.
