http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread...dvanced+config there's the program. after you install it click on menu (right soft key) select more settings, select connections and it should say Data Network Connection under connection name and something under status, mine says enabled. just click it til it says disabled.

Wifi is definitely toast. It wont stay on more than a second before disabling itself. I undid my changes and I'm trying another soft-reset.

I'm afraid I may have to hard reset if this doesnt resolve itself soon. At least I have the nodata program now which may resolve my issue.

You should be able to go back into epst and undo that change. I don't see why it wouldn't go back to how it was. try that program I linked ya to. adv.config.

After multiple resets and quick fingers I was able to get wifi rolling again. I hope it just stays that way!

I'm going to test the two programs you guys offered. At first glance, I'm really like Advanced Config!! I could use that with or without this problem. Adv. Config is fantastic.

I'll post back with results after I've had some time to test these two out.

Look, just go and delete the #777 connection and go into the EPST and change the pass. Only reporvisioning the device will correct the EPST and so you are safe with a hard reset. I went through this personally because for a long time I didnt have a data plan and didnt want one. Keep in mind you can also call your carrier and have them add a data block which will prevent you from connecting to them.

thougtht you had a vx6800...why's it dialing 777, isn't that sprints?

and why would you expect wifi to work without data? you can't not have a data plan and still use wifi..

even if the wifi is free, your phone will log your KB usage, thus vzw would see it, so I don't think that's possible.. and why would you get a mogul and not text, or use the web?? so you spent a few hundred bucks, just to make calls?

I see the "Thanks" button. Is there a "You Are Wrong" button?

1) Yes. Verizon ALSO uses #777
2) You most certainly CAN have wifi without data. I've done if for years. Even now, I dont have data and I still have wifi.
3) Verizon has no way to see the kb usage of a wifi connection because my traffic does not pass through their servers via their data connection.
4) That is just a really stupid question. Why would challenging my purchase of the phone EVER help me resolve an issue? Regardless, I bought this phone, because it is the ONLY phone Verizon currently offers with WIFI. (thus this discussion). I wanted a phone with WIFI because I can avoid the additional $30/month in data connection charges YOU pay and do the same thing from my phone. I have free wifi at home, at work, at school, and downtown. No matter where I am, I can text, email, gps, make free voip calls, watch videos, browse the web and more.

So today has been pretty frustrating. I got lucky getting my wifi connected last night, but I've had no such luck today.

I go to connection manager, turn on wifi and it looks for connections. It sees my network, shows "connecting" and then before it can connect, the wifi is disabled!! We're talking milliseconds here.

I cannot think of anything I did that would cause this delay to be so short. LUCKILY, I did an SPB backup shortly after my ROM upgrade. I was able to restore everything back and my wifi is up again.

...of course now I have to go back and restore all of my changes since the rom upgrade

EDIT: I finished reinstalling everything...and my wifi started disabling itself again. I uninstalled NoData and the problem seems to have gone away. I didnt realize NoData killed wifi connections AS WELL as Data. Looks like I'm back to square one. My registry changes didnt fix it, and the programs kill ALL connections, not just the Vz data connection
