Do the following..

Start > Settings > Connections > Connections > Advanced > Select Networks >

(CHOOSE YOUR CONNECTION FROM THE DROP DOWN LIST).

Choose the one you want. Example MEdia Net

(After Selecting)> Edit > Click and hold on the item next to radio button (example MEdia Net).. when the popup screen (similar to windows right click) comes up click on delete. Then do the following. >> General Tab > Click the button "Delete Settings".

Repeat the steps for other items listed on the drop down list...

NOTE - You cannot delete settings for My ISP & Work Network. Which is fine.

Hope that helps.

P.S - If you ever need the settings back again.. run the Connection Setup Wizard again

Or use Modaco Nodata, which allows you do enable/disable in 2 clicks.....

Bookmarked.

I do it every time I flash, but I always have to re-figure it out.

Thanks! :)

I used to have a regular poo poo samsung phone with that irritating buttonmin the middle to connect. Every time I accidentally pressed it, it would try to connect, and I would cancel immediately. Much to my dismay, I still received connection charges just for trying to connect. Fed up, I called ATT, told them my situation, and requested the ability for my ACCOUNT to use internet be blocked--since I didn't appreciate 6-10 bucks in connection charges (sinceI didn't have a plan). They removed it (not just from my phone no., but from all phones on my account) , and anytime I pressed the button, the connection failed. Upgraded over to a tilt, with the same sim card, any media NET connection fails, since any connection is disabled. Ofcourse, removing the bloatware really helps.

Use Modaco Nodata. I am a wifi only. Here @ work, and @ home. So, no data really needed.

I have NO data plan and its the 1st thing I install. It has NEVER allowed any data, and its a toggle. :) No other setup required.

Wifi does eat batteries though.

Thanks everone for the replys, i tried getting logged into modaco but the site keeps telling me my username or passwords wrong even though they just sent me my passaword.

Would anyone that has this .cab file to disable the internet, upload it for me i would really appricate it

I believe the KasierTweak app has the option as well. Of course if you had just searched in the first place I'm sure you would have had your answer several hours ago.

The ONLY way to disable Media Net from At&t is to call them and get a WIX block placed on your account. The downside to that is you lose the ability to send/receive picture messages; regular text messages are fine.

I've tried changing connection settings, band settings, etc...

I've tried turning off 3G.

I've tried NoData.

My Touch Pro 2, WM 6.5, keeps connecting to Media Net.... Until NOW, when I had the block placed on my phone account.

I know this is an old thread, but I've been doing intensive searching on the matter, and this page keeps popping up; so I'm posting to let anyone else who's looking know.

IF ANYONE OUT THERE COULD DEVELOP A PROGGIE TO FIX THIS, I'D BE MORE THAN WILLING TO DONATE FOR IT!! (And I'll bet many others would, too!):eek::rolleyes::cool:
