So I have no data plan but I can do picture messages. Sometimes especially when just flashing a new ROM the phone will use data before I can get WiFi or turn data off and data without a data plan is very expensive. So I was wondering of there was a way to break my data connection preferably though a flashable zip (if i hafta reflash it with every new rom so be it) so that it can only use data for mms? Maybe if I do something fancy with apn's? If it makes a difference I'm on T-Mobile.

Taking off the battery cover should work. All of the antennas are in the cover, so removing it should greatly reduce any signal strength and quality.
Well I still want to text and get MMS.

But nvm its okay T-Mobile just added 500 MBS of data free to my account so no problem anymore turns out that was what it used.

Okay as many of you know Unlimited wifi is back, and I contacted Tmobile to enable it on my lines, but I'm not sure if it's working with my Vibrant as I'm currently running the latest version of Bionix, and I'm not sure it supports the unlimited wifi calling service. I guess I'm suppose to see an icon or something, but I don't. Any one else having this issue?
Get the wifi calling app. Then enable it. Then it will work. The rom you use supports it fully

When I turn that app on it says it's still using minutes. Supposedly this new feature doesn't use minutes.
Bump?

Unlimited Wifi Calling must be added as a feature to your account first. Then the app will not use minutes. Call customer care and have a rep add it, it's free.

Ok, I have PRL 11115 and I get 3G when roaming. Many apps that access data work fine while roaming. However some of them do not. Some say that I don't have a data connection at all. Like Weatherbug, Crackle (and a few others) and while I can text, I can't send picture via sms. All of the settings are set to allow roaming. Any suggestions?

Is there a way to modify the wifi and mobile network polling rates? My phone dies like a dog at work due to no reception.
Thanks

Wi-Fi scan is a tweak in build.prop. There is a app called .prop tweaker or editor I believe.
Idk about network though

Whenever I'm in a poor signal area I just turn off mobile data and wifi. That way you don't have to worry about your radio constantly searching for better signals when your not even using it.

I just turn my phone off completely. Great battery life, and I never have to worry about it searching for signal. Bonus: with all the new kernels popping up, when my phone is turned off it sleeps like a sloth.
Try it out!
Appreciate the replies but i use offline apps all day so i can't power down.
Anyone else know?

Are you checking the phones data usage app? If I'm not mistaken it shows both WiFi and mobile data together. Check your my Verizon app and see what it says.

T mobile doesn't support mms via WiFi. Disable that setting in any 3rd party app.

I spoke with a T Mobile rep about this and did some redditing. The problem is MMS in "3rd party" clients which even includes programs like hangouts and text secure. If you're not on their network the picture will not come through because when the server checks your connection it will only see your wifi and it won't think your wifi is authorized to see the picture. T Mobile support was only so helpful, they said they'd consider fixing it in a future patch for the phone so unless you flash a custom ROM you won't get this resolved any sooner. To view the picture turn off wifi for a second. I want a freaking data credit for that bull****. Charge me by the GB then force me to use their connection to use my phone? Boo hiss.
