In Android 2.1, more specifically the Backflip running it, how can you disable the data connection completely. Don't suggest APNDroid or similar app. I want something simple and built in, like dial a number and go through a menu.

During an exam, I can get in trouble if my phone goes off, even if it just vibrates.I've noticed that even when I have my phone in silent mode, it still vibrates when I receive a text message. How do I turn this off? I do not use the phone for anything other than calling and texting; I have no apps or email accounts or google or anything else set up with the phone. I wouldn't even know how to use them, to be honest. I just want silent mode to mean everything is completely silent, no vibrating or anything.

Is Rooting of Backflip and Installing Customized Roms Illegal?What kind of effect these roms will have on the mobile? In Many ROMS they have mentioned as Android 2.2 or Android 2.3.4.

I have the 8520, and have no data plan with my carrier in my post payment plan, i thought , since i have wi-fi at home, office and tons of hot spots. I can use my BB to access the web using free wi-fi as i have been doing with my last 4 smartphones.Big mistake. i have been charged 55 us last month, for data transfer use , i ran to my planŽs assistance office ( telcel in Mexico ), and the answer i got was. you have to get a data plan from us to be able to use wi-fi ( obviuosly i stared at her , just nodding my head ).There is no point in having a device that has acces to wi fi networks , if i cant access the wi fi network without you data plan, so i got the lady to bring the tech guy. His response was...naaahhh...it will access the wi fi. but weŽll charge u anyway. you need to disable the network from the phone and only leave the wi fi option on so you can access without any other charge, but this will leave you with no phone connection.
Is this real? did i just spend 399us in a gadget that has wi fi capabilities but will not be able to get on any wi fi connection form home or work, without being charged for data transmission over my cell providers network?cmon this sounds as stupid as it does in my head ? i would be really disapointed if i just left my old Nokia E71 SPhone, for this beautiful BB Curve 8520 THAT DOES NOT CONNECT TO THE WI Fi.

Right now I'm on a TELUS family plan with 4 people and there are no iPhones. I want to get an iPhone and have it on the family plan but also not buy a data plan. Is it possible to do this? So basically my plan would be around $25 a month with unlimited text and caller ID.

My stepmother is planning on moving to Sprint and said I could have her Backflip after she did. I don't have a data plan and don't plan on getting one soon. If I scramble the APN with her disabled SIM card, then insert mine, will it keep those settings so that I don't get caught with it?

If I pick up the milestone, which data plan would work for it. would I have to get the $30 PDA Data plan, or can ATT not recognize the Milestone's IMEI, and I can get away with the cheaper plan?

I just installed the app my data manager and I notice that something called RICH CLIPBOARD is what is using most of my data. Does anybody know what this is, and how can I stop it or reduce the usage?

Verizon Wireless now has a really good hotspot tethering plan for 4G phones. For $30/mo you get unlimited 4G tethering on your phone which is a bargain compared to the tablet plans especially considering 4G is 10x the 3G speeds.It makes we want to run out now and get a Samsung Charge so I can drop my 3gB Xoom plan. I'm going to stick with my Xoom data for now and hold out a three or four weeks for the Bionic. Hopefully Verizon won't change this offer before the Bionic comes out.

I checked out my data usage on the att website and it turns out surprisingly that i consistently use under 200mb a month.
1. I beejive im every work day for at least 2 hours on edge(don't tell my boss) but it suprisingly only comes out to only about 4mbs per day (if i used 3g would the data consumption be higher?)
2. I maybe use slingplayer 1 day a month on 3g (sad) about 10mbs i think
3. I grab email manually by opening up the mail app maybe twice a day max.
Do you think i should switch asap? or is it best recommended to view iphone 4 data usage first in case i upload 720p video (which i doubt they will let you do)

I bought an iPhone 3GS off a guy on craigslist and it works great, no complaints. But every few minutes or so I get the alert saying that I "Cannot activate cellular data network - You are not subscribed to a cellular data service", and it's really annoying because it lights up my iPhone all the time and kills my battery. It's also really annoying - it comes up whenever I'm typing a message or playing a game; literally when I do ANYTHING on my phone. I do not have a data plan, but I have used 'unlockit.co.nz' to install a Fake APN to my iPhone to block data. Rogers has also given me a data block. This has been going on ever since I bought the phone, I thought installing a Fake APN would stop it but I guess not. I can't really restore since I have a lot of stuff on this iPhone already.. but if that's the only option then I will be forced to. I used to have an unlocked Fido 3G (about 2 months ago) without data and it never gave me this alert, do you think it has something to do with my 3GS being locked to Rogers?
This phone is a jailbroken iPhone 3GS (model MC143C) running version 3.1.3 (7E18) and locked to the "Rogers 5.0" network. If it helps the modem firmware is 05.12.01.if there are no real solutions, I still have 2 months left on my warranty. Would Apple fix it or give me a new one if I un-jailbreak it?

Does retrieving music and data from iCloud use up the data plan usage? And is there an adapter that will allow me to charge the iPhone with the standard charging cord for Blackberry and Android?

Does anyone know what happens if you get an (activated) iPad micro-SIM and put it in a PC data card? Grabbing the $30/month for unlimited data before it goes away would be attractive if it works.
I'm aware I'd have to get a micro-SIM to SIM adaptor, but what else? Change the APN my PC uses? Does AT&T check the IMEI? I've been searching but no one seems to have tried it, unless my search-fu skills are failing me.

Since Verizon discontinued my Family Share Plan (which included unlimited data for $20 a month) I had to switch to a specified maximum use plan. When at home, I keep Wi-Fi on as well as Data Plan. Will the OS (4.1.1) automatically choose Wi-Fi or do I have to shut off the Data Plan to minimize usage? I installed Smart Wi-Fi Toggler but I'm not sure if I can set the Data Plan to go off at Home and On when away.

I have t-mobile as my provider, and I have their new limited $15/month data plan with my HTC HD2.I was wondering whether I can use wifi without data usage going towards my data plan.I expect that the 200MB limit will be reached pretty quickly if I cannot use wifi to balance things out.

I now have an iPhone 4 and am getting ready to sell my 3Gs. However, a family member would love to have the 3Gs but does not use texting, email, etc.Is there a way I can use the 3Gs on our ATT Family plan but without the cost of a data plan? My new iPhone 4 is on the Family Plan.Is this where "unlocking" the iPhone would apply?Very basic question - easier (for me) to ask than searching.

I recently purchased a BB Storm II. Wi-Fi was working fine on iy went I just started to use it, but since I signed up for the BB service excluding data (e-mail only), the Wi-Fo no longer works.When I enable the WiFi link, the icon remains grey! Is this how the phone was designed to work - No W-Fi without a data plan.

I have an unlocked LG incite. I am using it on a canadian carrier and do not have a data plan. I use wifi for email and other internet services. The phone has a built in GPS and i was wondering if i use the GPS if it will charge me data? I turned off the data and it still seems to pick up satelites. I have even turned off the phone function all together and it still can piick up satelites.does this mean that it does not cost data?

I'm a newb at blackberry's..actually am waiting for my first one to arrive in the mail.I do have a question about BBM. I heard you can use it to IM anyone in the world w/ another blackberry for free. I would love to use this while I'm travelling in the Uk. But don't want to have to pay any data roaming fees from my carrier. I'm with Telus and am going to unlock my phone (Tour) so I can use it there.Does BBM run off of your data plan or how would I use it while travelling?

should I leave WiFi on?? I heard WiFi uses more battery when on. I have Verizon by the way. I only use the internet to:
- Check/Send Email (Send like 2 or 3 emails a week)
- Stream music like Pandora for like 1 hour, about three times a week
- Facebook
- Games using Game Center
I thought that I would connect to WiFi only when I download apps. Because downloading apps usually takes up all my data.
Info:
iPhone 4S, iOS 5.1

If I have my BB connected to a Wi-Fi Network, which applications won't be transferring their data through Wi-Fi, even though the connection, and they would still consume my MB from my data plan?
I don't know how to make sure that the phone is navigating through Wi-Fi and when it is not! That is why I also would like to know a list of the most common app that NEVER work with Wi-Fi.

I just got the nokia e73 with no data plan but when i try to go online (using wifi at home) i get a message telling me i will be charged for data, though i was under the impression that wifi is free...the message i get is from a web2go browser: "you will be charged $1.99/mb for data access, which includes accessing mobile websites from your device......" is there any way to get around this? are others having this problem? i know others are having problems connecting to the internet but it seems that i can connect to wifi (it detects and tells me i'm connected..)
