Hi there. I tried instaling this app but it seems to have no effect on my WM6 HTC Touch. Regardless of what I disable the phone stille connects to EDGE and GPRS like before.
Are there any similar apps anyone could recomend? My phone keeps connecting to GPRS even though I have set all my programs to not connect automatically.

Hello. I agree with your post 100% as the same thing exactly happens to me also.( I own an HTC TYTN II -Kaiser ).
Let' s hope for Paul to find a solution for us.

I've an HTC Touch (Rogers wireless in Canada) and nodata works fine for me -- except that you need to manually close a data connection if you've already established one.

So the sequence is toggle GPRS off with nodata; then hold down the disconnect phone button (right button) until the quick list comes up. Then press the "Terminate data connection" selection. You're done.

The registry change that nodata makes works fine so if you reset the Touch GPRS will still be unavailable.

Unless I haven' t understood what you are saying, I strongly disagree with you. The purpose of the NO DATA program, I believe, is that after you set it up, i.e running this program to toggle between various connections that exist in your mobile and make the choices you wish, is to protect you and keep these settings no matter what, unless you run this program again. When you can still get connected to some of the "disabled" networks these settings when reviewed you can see that have been changed, then this program does not work.

The purpose of the app is to prevent applications from starting up a data connection. If you've already got one open then you'll need to close it manually.

What you are saying it makes completely sense.
Let me ask you something. When
1. you first setup the No DATA
2. should there any connections take place - WITHOUT YOUR OK - to a specific network although set as "DISABLED", without my OK ? and of course modify your settings to "ENABLED" as a result of this ?
3. to open one connection ( which means that you do really want to open it), it is completely logical to close it manually. In other words I do not disagree with what you are saying.

This post is addressed to Paul.
On Jan. 20, 2008 you mentioned that you are going to look into the problem that Smacmillan - and myself (agreed) - pointed out to you.

Any news or am I triggering you too soon ??

Thanks for help anyway.

Just got the HTC touch dual. I assume that this lovely little application is just what I need to turn off GPRS when abroad. Am I right?

Hi, I just installed this on my HTC P4300 and I'm getting a .net compact framework error. It says I need a newer version. I'm running WM5. Where can I get the upgraded version?

Hi. I'm trying NoData on my Vodafone V1415 (HTC S710) WM6 smartphone.
I've now installed it twice from the CAB file (previously loaded into My Documents via Windows Mobile Device Center).
The second installation was done after initial problems and after removing both NoData and Efficasoft GPRS Monitor.
Both times I have the same problem.

Bit of background first...

I have 5 profiles of GPRS defined and offered to me in NoData.

Business Email
Contract Internet
Contract WAP
PAYT Internet
PAYT WAP

I recall also that Efficasoft GPRS Monitor listed connections to be monitored such as (these are approximations as program now removed):

WWAN-Internet-1
WWAN1

I can (still) access my mail and the web via GPRS so there are valid connections present.

When I run NoData, I get the 5 profiles listed above (all showing Enabled) and when I try to toggle any of them I get the following error:

"Error

An unexpected error has occurred in NoData.exe. Select Quit and then restart this program, or select Details for more information.

Error writing to the RegistryKey"

Under Details, it shows:

"Error

NoData.exe
ExternalException
Error writing to the RegistryKey

at InTheHand.Win32.square box.square box()
at NoData.square box.square box()
at System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem.OnClick()

at System.Windows.Forms.Control._InternalWnProc()
at Microsoft.AGL.Forms.EVL.EnterMainLoop()
at System.Windows.Forms.Application.Run()
at NoData.square box.square box()"

Any help appreciated.

Hi! I have more problems

I have a HTC P3600 in WM5 Nodata worked perfectly but I have updated to WM6 (FAMAN ES 4.02 rom) and I get "unexpected error", details:
NoData.exe
NullReferenceException
in NoData.∏.∏()
in NoData.∏.∏()
in System.Windows.Forms.Form.OnLoad()
in System.Windows.Forms.Form._SetVisibleNotify()
in System.Windows.Forms.Control.set_Visible()
in System.Windows.Forms.Application.Run()
in NoData.∏.∏()

The ∏ is a square, probably it would be using any special characters????

Thanks for such a good application, very helpfull !!!!

Quick, handy little application i've rustled up as i'm off abroad for a few days soon, and don't want to run up a huge GPRS bill.

It lists your GPRS connections, and allows you to disable them so that they won't be used.

Disable your connections before you leave, re-enable them when you return - piece of cake with MoDaCo NoData

Note that if you get bizarre registry errors on toggling, you need to app unlock your device (e.g. with SDA Application Unlocker).

I got this error after a hard reset and went to go and disable the registry entries manually. It was then that I discovered that there were no registry entries! I'd forgotten to run the connection set-up wizard to create the data connections in the first place.

Paul could you add a check for this and exit more gracefully if Nodata fails to find the connections branch in the registry.
