Angry Mobile Data Forcing

Hi all,

I just wondered if somebody may be able to assist me with what for most people would be a simple problem (alas for myself, turning the phone on or off is like rocket science).

I only have a small data allowance of 250mbs because I usually have my phone enabled in a wifi area, so did want to waste lots of ££££s on data that I do not need. However, I keep finding that my phone keeps forcingmy data to be enabled, even when I remove the tick from the tick box.

I only want data when I'm out and about and when I want to check my emails, I don't want it on all the time eating up my 250mb. Why does my phone keep going back on my demand to turn off data? I'm in a Wifi zone now for example, yet the 3G symbol is flashing away eating up my data, even though I turned off data.

I have a program to do with battery saving but I couldn't find anything on that program that might solve the problem.

Any help would be good, it's tediously annoying.

And also, can someone tell me how to edit a thread once I've made it? I wanted to say that I "do not want to spend ££££s"

When WiFi is on data is disabled. I have a Droid2 and a Droid Charge and an app Quick Settings from the Market. I just tested this. As soon as I enabled WiFi the 3g symbol disappeared. I opened up Quick Settings and it confirmed that my Data was off.

Now, the phone may turn it back on, to sync Email but mine does not when I am on WiFi.

After you have made a post, you can go back to it anytime and click on the edit button at the bottom of your post, make your corrections then click save at the bottom of the window you made the corrections in.
