how can i stop my phone for connecting to the internet on accident by itself. (lets say i have the phone in my pocket and it accidently clicked internet explorer and begins to connect online) any settings i can put on the phone so anytime (if pie or any mobile internet browser) is accidently clicked it will try to connect but come up with an error cannot connect so it wont accidently connect and i end up with some suprised data charges. reason being is i took data off my phone because i dont need it on my mogul. but i dont want to accidently click on the internet and it get some high data charges. i thought hmmm maybe i can just have the wifi swtich constantly on but than i also thought that might not work because i could still get charges especially if it dont find a wifi thing and also that really drains the battery. plus i have the wifi router installed on my phone from when i first got it like in august. so i dont want it to accidently start sending out internet either and get data charges. so what can i do to avoid this i called the company to tell them to take it off. but i guess it didnt work because my phone still goes online.

i dont think that you cn disable the internet completely. the only way that i can think of doing this would be to get all intenet programs that arent used (aftermarket) ninstalle from your phone. than once you do this i would say to go to internet exlorer and take it off your main list from the drop down menu so you would have to go to start program and than click it. also make sure ther are no homescreen plugins on your main screen that connect to the internet.

well the only internet programs as far as browswers go i have is pie and netfront or something like that. that already expired on me. i have some other programs but i guess i gotta figure out how to that. but to take it off the drop down list is an good idea. i guess i gotta take of the sprint music store to and sprint software store and on demand things off my drop down and home screen.

yup hat would be a very good place to start.

Re: .'.Settings To Avoid Surprised Data Charges!??.'.
 

ok i just did all that but it could still happen on accident. but i hope not. so if you of anyone finds a way to mess wit the data settings like change the "#777" dial up number to something else like "39759027502439" (some random number) so that when it dials up that random number it says like "error cannot connect" or something ill appreciate that because sprint obviously didnt take it off since they charged me for data and text i know i didnt make. but i gotta make sure of this by uninstalling all the settings so i know it wont connect.

Re: .'.Settings To Avoid Surprised Data Charges!??.'.
 

why not just use slide 2 unlock2 or the stock phone lock...It locks all buttons.it wouldnt be possible to hit internet explorer or and numbers that way.until its unlocked

Re: .'.Settings To Avoid Surprised Data Charges!??.'.
 

wow i always do that dig n too deep and skip right ver the logical thinkin..pays to be dumb eh kaos... lol jk

Re: .'.Settings To Avoid Surprised Data Charges!??.'.
 

i dug into this for you like i said and came up with a way for you to do this... told you sprint doesnt no shit since they said that it coudnt be done lol.... do this: Go to Start (menu) | Settings | Connections | Connections (icon)| than click on manage existing connections than tap and hold and go to delete if unchecking doen't work.

Re: .'.Settings To Avoid Surprised Data Charges!??.'.
 

hmmm i never really thought about that i already have it installed i really dont like it through all that much it has to much especially taking it out from the screen off. but than to what about when i have it unlocked its still possible to do hit it.

Re: .'.Settings To Avoid Surprised Data Charges!??.'.
 

once i click on the connections icon all i have is

my work network with 3 links


add a new modem connection

add a new vpn connection

set up my proxy server





than i have to tabs at the bottom. tasks where all that above is in.

than the advanced tab which has the following in it. . .

select which networks are automatically used which has 2 buttons below the select networks and dialing rules.


than the 2nd part of it has create exceptions for intranet addresses

with exceptions button under it.



so dash i dont see what your talking about.

Re: .'.Settings To Avoid Surprised Data Charges!??.'.
 

i know man but what im trying to say is i dont have that option you are talking about on my phone. i cant find it. i dont have nothing to uncheck or delete.

Re: .'.Settings To Avoid Surprised Data Charges!??.'.
 

uarntee that you do have it bro. i checked on my boys touch also and he has i and my mogul does too.

Re: .'.Settings To Avoid Surprised Data Charges!??.'.
 

alright well im trying to do it on my mogul not my touch mayb something here is wrong im not sure maybe its because i got a different rom possibly? i got the stock rom.


but to better help you help me with this ill take some screen shots of it and post what i have to show you what im talking about and than hopefully you can better help me and i can better understand what your telling me.

Re: .'.Settings To Avoid Surprised Data Charges!??.'.
 

bro im sprry but no need for screenshots since its just following the steps above.... it would be redundant truthfully...... just look at the steps and start and the start menu and go through the steps........ and i dont have a screenie app right now since i just got mmy computer back and need to get some things reinstalled.

Re: .'.Settings To Avoid Surprised Data Charges!??.'.
 

well bro i did do your steps and im telling you either im missing something or something i really dont know or maybe what your calling it is actually called soemthing else on my phone?


and so you need a "screenie app" just to view pictures i post in a forum? im just going take them of my phone using "my mobiler" and a print screen program i have on my computer. upload them to a pic hosting website like any other phone and post them on here. i didnt know u need an app to view them!?

Re: .'.Settings To Avoid Surprised Data Charges!??.'.
 

oh my bad i thought that you meant for me to take a picture...... go up to the point where you cant follow anymore than i will see what i can figure out for you.

Re: .'.Settings To Avoid Surprised Data Charges!??.'.

click on manage existing connections like said above and than tap and hold the sprint pcs #777 connection and select delete... just write it down so you can add if you wanna add the data package again.... Hopefully you get it and it is 3 down under sprint lol...

Re: .'.Settings To Avoid Surprised Data Charges!??.'.
 

or just make the internet button set to none so even if its hit nothign happens

Re: .'.Settings To Avoid Surprised Data Charges!??.'.
 

Hey so i did this a couple days ago and i realized that my phone still got online too but it didn't dial the #777 it just got online. So i used it a little for like two days so that it at least showed up on the bill but they said that i hadn't used anything since i called to turn everything off so now i can't send/recieve picture mail but i can still get my emails synced. I have the kaos rom so i dunno if that made a difference. i think i'm just gonna keep checking to make sure i'm not getting charged when i told them i don't even want to be allowed online. I was wondering if anybody who tried the koas rom had this issue.
