is it possible?
when i run outlook or pie or opera (and so on...) my internet connection starts without asking anything and this is not a problem because i pay for a flat connection,
but when i'm in roaming (quite often) unfortunately i pay (a lot) for internet, so it would be nice if i could lock (or force my pda to ask me) internet connection while in roaming
is there a way to do this?
bye
Alessandro

Hi,

Start/System/Memory/Running Programs 'Stop All'
Look in Windows/StartUp folder what starts after softreset.
Sofreset is always good!
Also there are settings in the programs you use, disable them.

Done.

Cheers, Leo :)

the problem is not the unwanted connection on startup, but there are several softwares tha i WANT to connect to the internet bub i would like to tell my device not to connect if i'm not on my network operator
ie.: if i leave sype or messenger running but my device goes in roaming i begin to pay (and i don't like this)
bye

Not sure if you can make it ask first for every connect it does, but you can switch of the GPRS/UMTS data connections manually. Might depend on the ROM how easy it is, but I think it can be done from the comm manager.
