Removing GPRS on 8525?

[ohpfan]

Is there an option on the 8525 to disable GPRS completely? I have MediaNet blocked on my account, just to be on the safe side. Being overly cautious, I even changed the settings for GPRS from the AT&T defaults by using fake letters for the connections.

With that said, it is annoying that when I lose connection with the Wi-Fi, it tells me the GPRS failed. It's like, hello -- yea I know, I don't want it on my device!

I have used Wi-Fi successfully to find websites at home, work, and a local restaurant. I even used it to send a yahoo IM without needing MediaNet, which uses data or even messaging. The next thing that needs to be addressed is avoiding the GPRS messages.

Oh yea, when IE opens, I would like to get rid of the AT&T screen as the default. I tried to delete the page, but it wouldn't let me do so! Is there a way to change the "homepage"?

Thanks for all future help!

Yes there is. Go to start>settings>connections> connections> and edit everything you see there and delete it (tap and hold). I have this done because i also don't have a data plan.

That was a temporary fix. It doesn't say GPRS error anymore, but now it says:

"
Error S7019: Cannot connect to server. Please
check your data
connection and try again.
"

I've only tried it on "Xpress mail" so far, it may be only on that program. Does Xpress mail only work on the AT&T MediaNet connection?

If anyone is still reading this, I recently removed both the AT&T and Cingular Xpress Mail programs from the device. Haven't checked other programs to see if it's still trying to access the AT&T internal internet. However, that was the program that created the previous error posted.
