Data connection limitation app

---

Hi,

Does anyone know of any app that restricts data connection to only when in WCDMA (UMTS 3G) network?

Reason why is that i use my Dopod D810 to surf the net and download files. However i have managed to rack up $320 in roaming charges for internet usage even though i am on a 1 GB XSeries plan on 3.

I was not aware that i was roaming at all. So in future, i want my phone to automatically disconnect when "Roaming".

Is there such an app? I have tried Bandswitch but i couldnt get it to do what i wanted.

use search.

There is an app called trinity hacks or something that adds this feature.

Are you sure? I have Trinity Hacks v0.3 and it doesnt seem to have this feature.

What i want is for my phone to automatically disconnect once it is "roaming" onto Telstra's network from the 3 network.

Yes,

Trinity Hacks v0.3 --> Phone tab --> 'Enable GSM/UMTS Band Selection'

Ticking this enables a new tab under 'Settings' --> 'Phone' --> 'Band'

Switch it from 'auto' to 'WCDMA'

Then you will never incur roaming charges on Telstra network.

Yeah i already have that setup.

What i want is to be able to Roam to Telstra so i get full PHONE coverage, but once it goes to roaming, i want the data connection to automatically disconnect.

What you have asked me to do is to permanently connect only to 3G which means i cannot get reception everywhere.

Does that make sense?

What you want is not possible without some serious programming! The Radio stack can be set to connect to GSM, UMTS/WCDMA or either, but you can't split voice and data functionality.

Hi,

Thanks for all your replies, but im not asking for voice and data functionality to be split. The phone can already tell whether it is roaming or on the home network. Isn't it just a matter of getting this information from the phone possibly via the OS API and then when the phone returns a value to signify that its roaming, then the program will disconnect the connection, just like pressing the disconnect button, but this time programmatically?

Im not asking for someone to write something like this, but if something already exist like this.

Maybe this reply is not needed anymore sinds the thread is one month old. Still, I use spb grps monitor. It has a lot of customization option. Maybe it has a feature that will do the trick. I'm not going to look into it myself. Just wanted to give you a headsup.
