Is it possible to turn off phone radio and keep the data connected?
 

I have 2 questions please:

1. Can I turn off the phone radio without turning off the data connection?
Reason: I want to be able to turn off my phone so I don't receive calls but I still want to be able to use my mobile internet and/or tether.

2. Can I turn off all connections without my phone going into airplane mode?
Reason: To be able to use GPS in the US but my TT7 doesn't work in flight mode. I keep only the bluetooth connection on to avoid flight mode but this does drain my battery.

As always, I appreciate any comments or answers regarding these questions or any alternatives I can use... :mrgreen:

Not sure is is possible to have the ratio off and the data connection on, but there is an application called callfirewall that is capable of blocking all incoming calls you might want to check it out, and i think you have to be connected to the internet to be able to use GPS of course i could be wrong...

1. Not possible. Not on the vogue at least cuz it lacks wifi. Your data connection comes thru the phone radio..so no phone=no data.

2. i believe if you turn the radios off individually, instead of flight mode, that you can bypass it. i havent used a vogue in a while though...so this is in theory

Actually I have heard of call firewall but I wasn't able to install it successfully... do I need to install something before it can work? The site mentions something like .NET Compact Framework 2.0. What is that?

About the GPS... it will work without data as I use it all the time. What I do is I start TT7 (thru astroGPS) and wait 5 seconds to get a lock, then I press the end button to minimize it, then I go to my communications and turn ON bluetooth and turn OFF all other connections (including "phone" and "data"), then I go back to TT7 and it works like a charm without any phone/data connection. Basically, it'll work without phone/data connection after it gets a lock on some birds...

I have tried this but the phone does go into airplane mode once I disable the last connection...

Yeah you have to install .NET Compact Framework 2.0 first here explains exactly what it is:

And you can download it from here

Have to install from your pc so your device has to be conected to the usb port.
