Turn data off and keep it off

mabmarc · #1 (**permalink**) 12-05-2008, 05:25 PM

Is there a way to turn the CDMA data off and keep programs from restarting it. I am looking for a hard shut off switch. The comm manager off button just kills the connection but lets any program turn it back on.

Anyone know of a program or hack that can do this? I would be nice if it was convenient and could be turned on or off pretty simply.

I used a couple of REG files like this on my Mogul:

Vision Off.reg

Code:

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\ConnMgr\Providers\{7C4B7A38-5FF7-4bc1-80F6-5DA7870BB1AA}\Connections\Sprint PCS]
"Enabled"=dword:00000000

Vision On.reg

Code:

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\ConnMgr\Providers\{7C4B7A38-5FF7-4bc1-80F6-5DA7870BB1AA}\Connections\Sprint PCS]
"Enabled"=dword:00000001

Then use a program like TRE to make it so you can execute REG files, then create a shortcut to these REG files in your Program menu, then you can map these shortcuts to your Start menu.

You would obviously need to tweak the file to reference the correct connection.

Look at this thread - someone else plus myself posted our methods for keeping data mute. The regkeys that bcrooker posted would appear to be the same as in that thread.
