[Q] Simple software to automatically disable GPRS/UMTS data while roaming?

[Prof. Dr. YoMan]

Hi out there,

searching for a while now. Found nothing, but CommMgrPro which is way to much.

I search for a simple software to automatically disable GPRS/UMTS data while roaming and enable it back when logged into my provider again.

Would be nice to have more than one "home" provider.

Any hints? Thanks and happy holidays.

the simplest way is change your mobile while roaming
i was surprised that my htc touchpro activate
data communication automatically while i
had disactivated data com before.

Thanks. At least a simple way to enable and disable.

My problem is that i live close to the boarder (germany/france) and that i flip into roaming here really fast.

An automatic solution is needed very urgend.

Locking to my provider is ok, but the htc asks me what provider to join, when back.

All that sucks.

I cant believe that there is no solution.

Is CommMgrPro able to handle that?

[Prof. Dr. YoMan]

Nobody?

Nobody else who got this problem and nobody who got a solution?

Is CommMgrPro able to handle that? The documentation is bad.

Maybe you can PM danielherrero (http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=342712).

He's the creator of CommMgrPro.

I am very interested in this as well - and from my searching seems a lot of others would be interested in an automated system.

My network provider automatically roams to another specific provider when in a non-coverage area (small pockets within metro areas and rural). The problem is that the data cost when roaming is ridiculous. I use Push Email for work and while on roaming want GPRS access to be disabled until I am connected back with my provider.

I've installed NoData by MoDaCo which is good but this requires the user to remember to enable/disable GPRS.

*EDIT*
I found exactly what I needed after a more searching - Wombat's PhoneRoam Script (Stay Connected to High Speed Networks Only) (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=3076932). Will see whether it does the job :)

I agree to have more that only one network provider. Here in Belgium we can subscribe to Vodafone passport that enable to use "free" of charge the data on any Vodafone network, but when I go in France it switch to other provider and in that case my push mail is expensive... I'm also in the boarder of France.

So basicaly :

1/ A very very simple prg that disable the data automatically if roaming.
2/ A version 2 that would put all permited network provider even if roaming.

Thanks

This thing exists for the iPhone. Its a simple switch in the interface.

You can select "Data-Roaming" on/off, thats all.

Where is it in WM?

Because Apple is looking this forum (like MS) to know required features and this one is in the back log.

Modaco is fine but when you are at the border is quite difficult to follow your carrier and disable data time by time...or even remember you are switching to another country after few km and you always have one app trying to connect (Tomtom, weather, opening a mail...)

Modaco it's what I use actually but let me forget stressing an unwanted roaming data connection...

Hi,

I switched off all data connections in the registry (using frost Advanced Config, than also tried NoData) and in general windows mobile apps aren't able to connect... but I have a one third party application, which is somehow able to ignore that and connect even when the data connection is toggled to DISABLED...

Any ideas how to REALLY disable data connections (for roaming)...

here is the automatic solution http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=503131

this will automatically disable ALL data in roaming and re-enable under home provider without any user configuration - nothing to toggle :)
