I need to hard code disable the data services but not wireless and bluetooth. I'm imaginging its a regestry change (0/1)
Can someone point me in the right direction
find and install "dialup enabler/disabler"
to do it via the registry? no clue never read anything to suggest its as simple as a 0 1 toggle.

I've looked all over here, PPCGeeks and Google for a fix for this but couldn't find a thing. When I go into ISC, Sprint isn't an option in the Network Connections menu. All I see is CDMA1X. Isn't that the slower network you default to when 3g or whatever isn't available? I've installed the tethering cab and the ICS cab to no avail. I'd really appreciate any help with this. Thanks.
I had to use a registry editor. Go to HKLM\Comm\InternetSharing\Settings and change the ForceCellConnection to Sprint.
There's also an entry to delete under HKLM\Comm\InternetSharing\????.dll
I forgot what the dll entry value is, but you need to delete it. Powercycle the phone and you should be good to go! Bluetooth PAN as well as USB works for me.
1) The registry fix will allow to select (if deleted) which connection to use, or to use Sprint exclusively (if changed to "Sprint").
2) Start data connection manually before using ISC - one easy way is from Comm Manager.
I don't know if deleting the .dll key does anything. Maybe it helps with 2). But when I do 1) and 2), my ISC works.
If I don't do 2), it tries to dial the Sprint PCS connection and fails.
I didn't have to install any cabs.
I'm cooking a ROM and after I get it installed, I'll see if the hacks available fix the problem. I'll report back. Thanks for the replies.
did a search for "APN" here and didn't find a thread. anyway
just moved to a leaked ICS build for my SGS2 and the app says that it can't do it in ICS due to the OS not allowing it.
question is, why disable useful things like this? they did it a while back with allowing apps like tasker access to turn on gps (thank you secure settings). i imagine there'll be a workaround at some point but it's annoying to get new features in new versions of android but have other parts taken away. (google giveth and google taketh away).
not a rant as easily worked around but annoying
Totally agree
it was very nice feature. Now I need to switch manually between corporate and internet apn. I hope that workaround will be available soon.
APN available all the network : D for me
The problem is, due to google policy on ics, applications or services can't change your apn settings.
- So you need to switch it manually in mobile network settings, if you are using more than one, it's not very handy.
- Other problem is restoring apn settings but it's based on the same root cause.
Ofc. you can use as much apn's as you want...
Since the NT doesn't have active Bluetooth (yet) I haven't been able to get the My Location function in Google Earth to do anything. I have the Settings set up to use the wireless network method to help localize things, but that doesn't appear to work with Google. Is BT the only way go here?
Running CM7.
On Comm Manager I find that if I have my carrier's GPRS settings installed then the data connection will turn itself on whenever some program or other sneakily phones home. The only resolution I can find is the 'wrecking bar solution' of removing the GPRS connection altogether from the connection options.
Unfortunately that means using GPRS, when I occasionally need it, is a very cumbersome process of having to install and then remove the settings each time.
I tried the 'Manila Dial-up enable/disabler' mentioned in another thread, but I find that this, rather than correcting the problem, just duplicates the 'wrecking bar solution' in that with it activated I can't turn GPRS Data on at all. If I deactivate dialup disabler, then as you might expect Data turns on unprompted at the next phone-home incident. Surprisingly though, and rather uselessly, when I reactivate the dialup disabler it doesn't turn Data off! So although well-intentioned this is a rather broken solution. It doesn't achieve the requirement, which is:
Data switch on: GPRS activated.
Data switch off: GPRS deactivated.
I say to myself, SUUURELY there has to be a better answer to this? The situation is a bit like going back to the 90's with analog modems dialling unprompted and racking-up a huge bill. Seems OS programmers never learn from previous design blunders.
Have a look for what doing it, check gps software for updating satellite options, check weather app & such like.
I find GPRS on WM6.5 perfect because can easily find and stop things automatically connecting to data with bit of a hunt & also use likes of dialup enabler disabler or GB-Soft Tweak to auto disconnect connections after short a time as 1 second of zero data.
I have mine setup with GPRS always enabled but not connected, I have no rouge app sneaking a connection but even if did it would auto disconnect meaning minimal data usage charge, also this way I can simply manually check a mail plus have my mail on a schedule & the data usage is absolute minimal thus so is the battery drain due to GPRS data use.
Not so easy on Android or iOS as have to turn data off or it milks your connection constantly.
Do some research & feel free ask more questions as this should be easily sorted .
Also perhaps take a look at the modaco nodata app
http://www.1800pocketpc.com/modaco-nodata-turn-mobile-internet-hspda-gprs-3g-edge-off/
Yet another option is Advanced Config, this has options turn data off & also set time out for auto disconnect ... menu > more settings > connections .
More options are:
Go to: Start -> Settings -> Connections -> Advanced -> Select Networks
then create a new connection without any Modem settings. And select that connection as your default Data connection.
Registry control
In the registry you’ve got the following key:
HKLM\Comm\ConnMgr\Providers\{7C4B7A38-5FF7-4bc1-80F6-5DA7870BB1AA}\Connections
There are all your data connections.
Go inside every data connection and you’ll find a key “Enabled”.
This key has a value 0×1 (1) or 0×0 (0) - 1 means it the selected GPRS setting option & enabled, setting to 0 will disable this GPRS setting.
You could use mortscipt to make a custom toggle for your specific data connection. we can help here in this thread or go to the mortscript thread for help completing a custom data toggle script application.
CABs all added below as a lot of the WM5 to 6.5 stuff is leading to dead links .
I have some apps that check if there are proxies enabled on android, I've tried in a few ways, the adb that arrow directly on android is the most hidden and even then the application detects, I believe it is using a standard android API, is there any method for circumvent this?
if i set adb shell settings put global http_proxy 192.168.32.1:8888 application does not initiate any type of connection, but if I return the proxy to 0 it connects again with adb shell settings put global http_proxy :0, same for all types of app like Drony, ProxyDroid, and Default Wifi Proxy Settings, i think they use an method for detect this, have any way to set proxy direct in xml of app if i can decompile?
Is there perhaps a way to set the proxy for the specific app ?, it seems to check if there are global proxies installed.
I sincerely thank those who take the time to answer this question, it is very important to have new answers about it.
