hello, im new here and also new to android and i love it so far. there is one problem that im hoping to get fixed. i have to pay for each megabyte i use (it's not too expensive but it would still be nice to save). i would like to be able to disable background data (not the same a sync) when i disconnect from wifi and enable it when i connect to wifi automatically. i have tried wisync and unfortunately since i have a nexus s with 2.3.4 it didn't work. I dont see why this isn't an included feature. any help would be nice. thanks in advance

I used the trial for this app and although it did seem feature full, it doesnt have an option to enable or disable background data.

The only free way i know of doing it is to root your phone. I disable background data all the time with both CM7 and SuperAOSP.

Honestly it is a lot to explain, rooting can be quite complicated to the average user.
You should read through this tutorial and see how complicated this seems to you.

It's definitely worth doing if you want the extra features.
