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?

You may want to re-read the post. This is not about whether or not I get billed. I'm not worried about data charges as I already have requested and established the data block.

Also, deleting the #777 does not work because it just comes back after reset.

Regardless of whether your method works to keep me from getting billed, this post is to get my phone to stop ATTEMPTING to connect.

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.

and CrazyChef, you are nuts man, I don't care what some sprint rep told you:

If you have a wifi connection you do not need sprints/vzw/att/sumdumfonco data plans - and will not pay for it - if you think you are using wiwi, but an evdo connect is active - you will pay for that.

I have vzw's data plan, but I didn't always, and what I speak is the truth - You can have a pda phone and use the wifi you already pay for - no 'data plan' needed.

side note: vzw uses 777 also...
