Simple GPRS on and off ?

[jeegnesh]

Is there a way to turn GPRS off ? I tried registry tweaks but the GPRS off option will not stick for me everytime I reset and check it unchecked again.

A Shortcut or a simple app to turn off and on would be a godsend.

holding down the hang up button for awhile disable grps on at least himalaya
and there is a program which let you connect and disconnect in the same place you turn flight mode on and off

[jeegnesh]

problem is this still allows gprs to connect when you use ie or sync email, I do not want it to connect auto to gprs unless I say so :D

then pick work rather then my isp under connections

I have a tmobile 'mda' in the us and I did a registry edit that made it so when i tap and hold the gprs icon at the top it has a timer and a disconnect button.

Add a 'Disconnect' button (and Timer) to the Connection List for GPRS


To add a Disconnect button:


HKLM\ControlPanel\Phone\Flags2 = 8 (DWORD decimal)


To add a Disconnect button and a timer display showing how long GRPS is in use for the session:


HKLM\ControlPanel\Phone\Flags2 = 16 (DWORD decimal)


To disable both the Disconnect button and the timer:


HKLM\ControlPanel\Phone\Flags2 = 0 (DWORD decimal)

bendog that a very nice suggestion, thank you.

Lucky for me as part of the t-mobile uk phone you get sbp gprs monitor included, and this sits in the task bar and has a connect and disconnect button already.

Again it does help disable GPRS till I really want to use it.

Tried this also, it doesn't seem to care, it connects anyway whenever my email interval says so.

Is there any other APIs like connection manager,RAS to dis/establish GPRS on WM 2005?

(haven't used it yet so no guarantee it works)

There is also a program called "NODATA" to disable (temporarily) GPRS...

Just need summat to log it now :(

There you go.

NoData from Modaco. Does exactly what you want. Disables GPRS until you want to turn it on again. Overrides all programs that require access to the internet. Excellent for when you are on international roaming or when your battery is dying.

So far I've tried all these on my BA (XDA IIs) to no avail. :(

However, a rather dirty solution has been to set up a new 'dummy' modem connection dialling my own number or '0' and setting that as the default. I then need to change it back to the other settings to allow web access via the 'phone.

Would rather have a nice button though...:o
