Disable Internet On W995

Sat, 28 Jan 2012 16:03:53 GMT

Does anyone know how to completely disable every single internet connection on the w995 as recently it's started to connect 85 times a day costing me an absolute fortune, the t-mobile forums didn't have a bloody clue and I'm getting really annoyed.

It's only started doing this since a couple of days ago and I don't know what triggered it and I don't know how to stop it, hopefully someone knows what to do as my mother is going to be furious.

Main menu--Settings--Connectivity--Internet settings--Connect to: Here, it will be set to the T-mobile data account, so in order to disable it, either press Select and choose another non-T mobile data account from the list or, if there isn't any other account there, press Select and from Options select Create new: just give it any name you want, select and save it; this dummy data account should block mobile internet access.

Thanks for the help mate, I tried what you said yesterday and I checked again today and it's still doing it. I copied what you said exactly for internet settings and streaming settings and set allow local conn. to No aswell. I'm really stuck as to what to do now as it's just racking up the charges.

It sounds like your phone has been customised by T-mobile, which means that the data connection has been hard coded in the phone.I suggest you try a master reset and see if that does the trick: Main menu--Settings--General--Master reset--Reset all. Failing that, try running the SE update service.

Before you do any of this, don't forget to back up your phone on PC/PC Companion/memory card first:

Let me know if this works.
