how to block data on android?

---

Is there a way to block data connections while running android?
I already use the nodata cab for windows but the data works while running android.

there are differnt ways:
1. easiest is to change the apn in wireless-settings (is reversible)

2. delete apns-conf:

• make system writeable (mount /system -o rw)
• remove /system/etc/apns-conf.xml
• restart and wipe Data in androidloader

3. modify sysinit.rc

• make system writeable (mount /system -o rw)
• open /system/sysinit.rc with vi (or any other editor)
• comment out following lines
  

  service setupmodem /setupmodem.sh
     console

Run the modem app. Click disconnect.

you will have to do this everytime you reboot your phone.

Hope that helps

use apndroid

for polymod's eclair:

go to Settings>Wireless & networks>Mobile networks>Access Point Names> then select your APN and then press the menu button...delete the apn. after that it will not connect again even after reboots.

if you find you need to use data again (in case of emergency...)
just go back to Access Point Names and select 'Reset to Default'. in the menu.
