How to switch on / off data service to Vivaz?

While I was abroad, I experienced data roaming which is charged per KB, when I was connected to WiFi in my vicinity. I would like to know how to switch on / off data service by changing settings on my phone, SE Vivaz.

Hi,
There is no way to simpy switch data off and on with the Vivaz handset I'm afraid. However my best suggestion would be to create a dummy data account on the handset. If you set this as the account you wish to use when browsing the Internet through your network operator, it will be unable to connect. If you are using Wi-Fi, this will mean that if you go out of range, the handset will not be able to switch to your mobile network data.
This can be done by following these steps:
Settings > Connectivity > Destinations > Access Point > Add New > Packet Data > Name the account (for example, Dummy account) > Select Internet.
Once set up, go into Internet within Destinations and set the dummy account as priority 2 for Internet behind your Wi-Fi connection.
I'd also recommend tapping your Data Internet connection, selecting Edit and ensuring 'Use Access Point' has 'After Confirmation' written under it. This will ensure you are asked if you wish to use that connection before it automatically connects.
Let me know how you get on

    How to subscribe a cellular data service in Iphone 4s

    If you did not edit the Cellular Data Network settings on your iPhone and you are unable to use Cellular Data Network services, try turning off and then turning on iPhone. If the issue persists, contact your carrier about the availability and provisioning of these services on your wireless account.

  • How can i turn off 3g service on a 4s

    how can i turn off 3g service on a 4s?,there are times when i don't want to use my 3g data alowance and would like to restrect it to wi-fi only,can the 3g be turned off and on as needed?

    Yea,I found that but it also kill voicemail which does not make sense as it should still have all phone funtions(which I would think incloud VM access)but VM needs cell data to work, so I can get & make calls and know when i've missed one but need to turn on data to get or check messages.stupid program! I guess they make it so you must use 3g weather you want to or not,Thanks

  • When turning off data services, does 26 and 3g matter? (battery-wise)

  • 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.

  • 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 do I turn off location services on the iPhone 6?

    How do I turn off location services on the iPhone 6?
    Yes I already went to Settings > Privacy > Location Services, is not allowing me to turn it off.
    And yes I have disable the restrictions too.

    When I tapped the screen, there was a symbol on the left that looked like arrows going in a circle and on the right were the arrows crossed. The crossed arrows were orange, when I tapped this orange symbol, it turned to white and the songs STOPPED shuffle.

  • 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.

  • How to switch iSight off

    Hi
    I have purchested a video grabber but iSight is coming over it, do you know how to switch iSight off?
    Ta

    Technically the MBA's camera is called its "FaceTime" camera. The "iSight" name was dropped some years ago and now refers only to the iPhone's rear camera, and I'm assuming you are not referring to the external, FireWire iSight camera or its LED.
    For privacy concerns Apple decided to make software control of the FaceTime camera's LED impossible. If the LED is off, so is the camera.
    Stick tape over the LED as Klaus1 wrote. There is no other way to disable it, without physically disassembling the camera, potentially destroying it in the process.

    Sounds like a problem for forums/support from the DB provider, as this problem is normally solved through some form of HA provided by the DB (or some cluster software, but still not Java) with, normally, a shared (virtual) IP address.

  • How do i turn off the service searching?plz read

    Ok so I was stationed to Iwankuni Japan and of course my awesome iphone doesn't work out here :'-( how can i turn off the phone part so that i can still have my wifi on and it isn't searching for service?
    pretty much i want to make it an ipod touch.
    Any ideas?

    Hi there,
    Just put it into Airplane mode: settings> airplane mode on
    This will also disable Wi-Fi and Bluetooth though. To avoid this, take out the SIM card; then you'll have Wi-Fi, and all the non-phone features. Use a paperclip to press on the hole next to to the earphone recess; press firmly and the SIM card tray will pop out. Make sure you put the SIM card somewhere safe, away from magnetic sources. When you return home, simply put the SIM card back in; and you'll resume normal service, with no need to activate again.

  • Startup sound - how to switch it off?

    Just wondered if somebody knows how to switch off the sound playing when Mac Book loading? Can't find this option
    Thanks a lot!

    There is no option for turning off the start-up sound (which is actually meant to signal the end of a successful hardware check). I believe there are (or used to be) third party gadgets which might turn it off, but I always shy away from such things.
    The simplest solution is to mute your sound before you shutdown/restart.
