Android :: Turn Off Calling And Use Data Only?
Feb 23, 2010
I am using PDANET and tethered to my laptop. My laptop is sharing my connection with my XBOX 360 at work (lol). Works unbelievably well.
My only problem is, I need to stop my a-hole friends from calling me while I'm at work playing some games.Is there a way to prevent phone calls and text messages to inhibit those from kicking my data connection off while tethered using PDANET?I have done searches all afternoon and can't find anything relating to it.Please don't suggest Airplane mode.

I got a ListActivity. I update the activity using onContentChanged() API. My problem is that each time I call the above API the list scrolls to the top. Is there any easy way to turn this "feature" off?

I have a ListView whose position should be changed automatically along with the data. So, when the adapter's data has changed (adapter is calling notifyDataSetInvalidated), I'm calling setSelection. This has no effect. If the call to setSelection is done later (e.g. in a click handler) it is working.
The second problem is, that the ListView maintains the scroll position of the list although the data is completely invalidated, that makes no sense IMO.
It looks like a call to layoutChildren before the call to setSelection does help in this case, but layoutChildren is protected.
What is the correct way to do this?

I'm on a limited data plan so it would be good if I could time my phone (hero) to turn 3g off when im in bed. I have locale but that only does wifi. Is there an app that will do the same for mobile data?

Is there an app that will allow me to turn off all data and have just the phone work?
I love all the notifications I get but when I'm sleeping I need to hear the phone ring if someone calls but I don't need woke up everytime a sports score is posted or I get an e-mail.

This may seem like a really dumb question but I have been told several different things by several different people who should know. Does the Vibrant connect to a Wi-Fi and use it for data and calling? I have a Blackberry Curve at present and I have no reception inside my house. I connect my Curve to my Wi-Fi network and can do all data things and talk with zero dropped calls. I'm hoping to be able to do this with the Vibrant. If I can't I will have to consider another phone (I can't live with no reception in my house). I don't care if I can tether from it, I just need ot be able to use the Wi-Fi for data and calls on the handset.

My dad works in a secure building and needs a phone without a camera. He's with ATT and uses a dumbphone. He wants an android phone he can swap his sim card into while not at work. He has neither a data plan or a texting plan because he doesn't use them. He's considering an unlocked Legend or N1 if he can find an app/widget that will disable the data network radios on his phone, so he can only use the wifi. Would this work, or are there better apps/widgets you guys know of?

I have a questions guys, for work i'm allowed to make voice calls but i am not able to use any data transmissions (internet, texts, etc.). I have a lot of stuff on autosync and i know i can turn that off using the power control widget but it seems that doesnt stop ALL data from transferring. Is there an app or a way i can turn off All DATA while still keeping voice calling as an option?

The first thing I would like to be able to put on my phone after getting it set up and what not when I get it tomorrow (THANK GOD WAITED TOO LONG HA HA), but I would like to be able to have the option to turn the data off when I don't need it and turn it back on when I want it.If that makes sense?I tried searching on the board, maybe I didn't search in the right spots. I am not entirely sure, if so I apologize. Was curious if anyone knows of any apps that are free and easy to use?

travelling to Europe from the UK and need to turn off all data for the duration of my stay (would cost me $17 per day at my current usage)
This is easily done with one setting on my iPhone, but I am unsure how to get the same done easily with my Galaxy S.I really need to make sure that all data is off in order that I don't come home to a monster bill!

Any reliable way to turn off Background Data on ICS and JB?
My LG G2X is running CM7 (but beautifully skinned for ICS!) and turning off Background Data gives me a 30% improvement in battery life and eliminates most of those annoying status bar advertisements. I really REALLY don't like the privacy vulnerability of my phone checking in with Google Play in the background. For example, occasionally when I check Google Play, my desktop icon for Bing suddenly "disappears" (gasp!)
Meanwhile my Galaxy Tab is running JB and maintains a constant connection with Play. I get regular notifications demanding that I update my apps. And guess what - on my Galaxy Tab my desktop icon for Bing sometimes disappears on it's own! :P
There is an option to restrict background data, but you need to set a data limit, you get an annoying alert in the status bar - and it doesn't work (restrict <> disable)!
I sync nothing with Google and want my privacy.

I have a sim free Hero on 3UK that I recently upgraded to 2.1. Since doing so, I have noticed that the data turns itself on every so often.I normally use the htc widget to turn on/off the mobile data as I don't use it while at work/at home. Occaisionally, I notice that it is switched on and when I try to switch it back off, it restarts itself. I've noticed this on quite a few days now over the last couple of weeks and once it starts doing it, I can't stop it.I can only think it is down to either some app that I have installed or the synch settings, but I have checked for running processes and killed anything that looks like one of my apps.I don't really know what else to do to stop it. Has anyone got any ideas?

Im going to Germany tomorrow, lives in denmark, and i have found out that data traffic is quite expensive, so i've got two options, either to unsubscrib from data traffic in other conuntries at my phone company or find out if there is a way to set the HTC Hero to not use data traffic for homescreen widgets and so forth, as it would be nice to be able to turn it on if i need to check something urgent.

I have tried a lot of apps for finding a lost phone - Lookout, Where's My Droid, AndroidLost, Prey etc.None of them have the feature to automatically on gps and data remotely [using sms]
Only AndroidLost has this feature, but when I tried it, it didn't work.So, is there any way to turn on data connection and gps remotely, via sms?

I'm currently using the free version of Juice Defender. I'm not sure if your phone should be set with mobile data switched on or off while using Juice Defender. Does JD turn data on and then off with the phone set to off to start with, or should the phone be set to data on, so that JD can manage data access according to the chosen schedule?

Is there a shortcut or widget to simply turn off/on the data roaming option?It would be so much easier than going through home/ settings/ data manager/data delivery/data roaming/click.Don't see anything in the Market that serves CDMA or the X.

what are the settings do you have to change in order to completely stop any data connection? I have an unlimited data plan so I don't care now that there is a lot of apps using my connection, but going overseas soon, the roaming charges are really expensive. I found some settings (like sync) that I can configure not to use data connection but I am not sure if these are all.

Got my phone a couple weeks ago and absolutely love it! Problem is I'm playing with it too much and already got a text saying I am at 65% of my data usage plan well before the billing cycle will be complete. How can I turn off completely/minimize the data stream? So far I've done (Home> All programs Tab> Wireless & networks and uncheck the box for Mobile Networks) and (Settings> Accounts and Sync> Background data "Applications can sync, send, and receive data at any time"). I wanna just be able to use it at WiFi spots so I don't accrue any fees.

CYANOGEN ...STILL nothing on automatic turn data on/off to send MMS as in MIUI..
amazing no priority on this while MIUI has had this for over a year or longer..see all the messages (also many xda threads that ended in 4-5 responses each because no one had the answer)
[URL]...
If one has unlimited data and does not care about battery, then I understand why this would be low priority (or not doing mms much because of cost)..

I recently purchased a USED S4 Active, and I am having an unusual problem with it.
I will leave my house in the morning. ALl during my drive to work, my data does't work. It's on, it just doesn't have "4g" at the top, and I can't use the internet, etc. Toggling the data does not work, neither does resetting the phone. About the time I get to work (after about a 15 minute drive), my data pops back on.
Today, at work, my phone connected to a stray wifi connection (One that I have used before, so my phone remembered it) just for a minute or two. Once it disconnected from the wi-fi, my mobile data was gone. Just like when I leave my house: It was gone for about 15 minutes, just like before, and then just popped back on like everything was OK.
I don't THINK this is an issue with my particular phone, but if it is I need to know so I can return it. I've searched high and low, but no one else seems to have had this problem. So I figured I would turn to the best!
Model: Samsung Galaxy S4 Active
Android version: 4.2.2
AT&T phone, but unlocked and working under the T-Mobile network.
