But never the less I say this more as at least in my opinion, these things are so hard core difficult to get the data off in the first place as they don't want it to be that easy.

Again in my opinion this device and any one like it are really built from the start for that to stay on 24/7 as they want everyone to be using that data connection an get hooked on it so they won't be complaining for being forced to pay extra for it if they didn't want it in the first place.

If it were easy to shut off more people would find out how much they really don't need it and then the carriers would get a lot more heat about these mandatory data plans and they don't want that let me tell you.

An this gets very supported too by all those who need data plans as they know those who are getting forced to pay are helping to keep the cost down for them and helping to pay for the development of their next faster speed network.

Sorry to whine about that on your thread fditty but I've been back an forth on this topic for months now and thats just the way this is so I don't ever see too much coming in what you are looking for outside of what I told you.

Best of luck though, hope you find something and if you do please come by an post about it.

Thanks

Thanks gTen,

When I loaded the cab you suggested, i remembered that NRG includes a similar app (just seems updated) which is called Data controller. Seems like that would do the trick but has a few too many steps to it (4-5 different things to push).

Here's the app in NRG's rom:

What I'm kind of going for is something similar to the Wifi & Bluetooth toggle switch i found around here where one click toggles it on or off.

I realize it's not really what you're looking for, but the original .cab for that is available at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=610657

I think Ageye Profile might do exactly what you want. It'll turn off or on all sorts of stuff (Bluetooth, WiFi, cellular radio, and more) based on a wide range of criteria and triggers, including time, appointments, what cellular tower you're on, whether you're synching, etc. I'll bet you could set up conditions that automatically turn off your cellular data and turn on your WiFi when you're at home. It's currently a fairly cheap paid application, but I used a free version a while back. It's probably still available somewhere.

Thanks for letting me know. I'll look into that and post back if I find something useful.
