Sorry been looking on how to do it for forever, but can't seem to find it. I om on the tethering plan and already used up my 4 gigs of data so I am close to over using my internet data. How do I turn off the internet, without turning off the actual phone service (like texting and calling).
Thanks!!!!

I was wondering if there was an app to find out witch apps are trying to use data.
I live in BC Canada.
Data rates here are insane, so I don't have a data plan.
I have most things set to manual update.(so I can update off wifi)
My main issue is rogers likes to send me a text whenever my phone tries to use data, not so nice at 3 am, or whatever time..it's random.
I just want to know what I should do?
Any ideas?

You could disable data traffic in network settings. Mine still receives MMS, so you won't lose that. Or you could modify the APN settings
I'll give it a go.

Originally I had it disabled.
I'm guessing I switched it on somewhere along the way.
I want data but wow does it ever cost ya here in canada.

Going abroad for 1st time with this phone, how do I completely switch off all data?
Every Android phone is different and this is no exception.
Do all I need to do is go into data manager and switch of in there?

You're using an XT910, so there's a dedicated data toggle widget that works just fine. Otherwise, yes, disable both data and data roaming in the Data Manager settings section.

Settings > network > and switch off packet data... that shuts off your data completely

That's not an option under Wireless & networks (on the XT910, at least). Moto moved it to its own 'Data Manager' section instead.

Yeah thats what I thought, thanks for that.
Bizarrly though my phone doesnt have the toggle widget for data, it was 1st place i looked. its got BT, GPS, Flight Mode, Power Control, Wifi but no data one.
Just put the phone in airplane mode.

That's odd. It is grouped separately from the others, labelled 'Mobile Data Toggle' rather than 'Toggle: [something]' like the rest.

Hello all,
I have a question. Do any of you awesome XDA Peeps know of an app that allows you to select what apps sync with wifi and what apps can use the data provided by cellphone company?
I have a whopping 200mb from AT&T and I keep my mobile data turned off. I use quick settings to turn it on or off. I would like to be able to receive and send emails from my phone, but I don't want my phone to keep syncing or searching for updates, like facebook or weather. The problem I have when I turn my mobile data off is, if someone is sending me a text with a picture, I have to turn my mobile data on or else I wont be able to see the picture because my phone won't automatically download it.
Or is this something that has to be done per app?
I thank you in advanced!

I am assuming you can't download using your data plan?
Check your settings and see if you have a data limit checked on. This might stop you from using the data for apps etc . I think try enabling background data too. (Press menu in your data usage page for the options to tick) make sure you don't put a limit and enable mobile data

I would bet that you need to check (and change) your APN settings, if you aren't able to use mobile data properly.
Google for your provider's settings and enter them accordingly.

My data connection goes into idle mode if I don't use it and stops downloads... How can I prevent it??

I guess he meant 'idle'.
About the question, if its in Wi-Fi there is an option to "Keep Wifi On during sleep". Check whether an option like that exists in 2G/3G data connection settings. AFAIK, the data connection would be always live, and I do doubt whether an option for the same exists.
Sorry for the spelling...but it's not on wifi..It's on data connection and it stops send receive if I don't use it actively and hence downloads stop
