How to use wifi only ( disabling internet data connection / 3g ) on any mobile phone ( Android, Blackberry and Iphone )

I MADE A BETTER TUTORIAL, CLICK HERE

note:
I'm 99% sure it works on every mobile phone. But if it not works I'm not responsible (answerable) for costs at your provider. Because something like: a. The method doesn't work on your mobile phone (something like an error in your settings) b. You didn't do exactly what I did.

Hello, I'm going to show you how to only use wifi on any mobile phone. I know that the Android and Iphone tutorials may is a little bit easy but the main reason why I made these tutorials was for Blackberry devices. Because on a Blackberry device it's a little bit harder. If you don't have an Android, Blackberry or Iphone don't worry. Watch / read the tutorials that fits the most by your mobile phone because almost all phones are the same so it's not that hard to do this for example on a Nokia.

Blackberry

Step by step:
  • Turn on your phone or unlock your phone so that you could see your home screen
  • Go to your menu
  • Go to manage connections
  • Go to mobile network options
  • Make sure data service is on
  • Go to your menu again
  • Go to options
  • Go to advanced options
  • Go to browser
  • Make sure default browser configuration is set on hotspot browser and go back (of course save changes)
  • So when you are in advanced options go to TCP/IP
  • Remove apn: "Some text" (BUT, write it down somewhere if you want to put it back on in the future)
  • Disable APN settings enabled
  • Done!
Look out! If you disable APN you are not getting instant notifications of apps. (like new message's on Facebook) Only if you start the app you can see the new message's.
Android
I'm sorry for the bad English in this video. But my sister was gone so I was able to steal her phone for 5 minutes. So I didn't prepared this video!

Step by step:
  • Turn on your phone or unlock your phone so that you could see your home screen
  • Go to your menu
  • Go to settings
  • Go to wireless and networks
  • Go to mobile networks (most times, but some times use packet data is settled somewhere else)
  • Disable use packet data
  • Disable data roaming

Iphone
Sorry I only have a step by step tutorial.
Step by step:
  • Turn on your phone or unlock your phone so that you could see your home screen
  • Go to settings
  • Go to general
  • Go to network
  • Turn off cellular data
Look out! On a Iphone you are now using wifi only. But you can't retrieve MMS, retrieve / listen to voice mail and use personal hotspot.

Concepts

Data service / use packet data / cellular data - If you disable you could do everything with your phone as normal (text messages, making calls etc.). But there are some exceptions in red (depending on your brand). But what you are disabling is the function to connect with the internet by 3g. Now you could only use the internet by wifi. (Although Blackberry can't connect with internet by wifi if data service is turned off...)

Roaming - If you enable roaming you can internet where ever you want. It doesn't matter which provider you have at that moment. But if you disable it you can only use internet by your own provider. So let's say you contract is at t-mobile and you disable roaming you can't use internet if you have an AT&T connection. While if you enable it you could use internet at AT&T but because you have a contract at t-mobile it's very expensive. So I recommend you to disable roaming always!

3g - A internet connection with an provider. This is now a days pretty expensive if you don't have a contract or over your contract's limit.

WIFI - A internet connection with a wifi router / hotspot. This is free for a mobile phone. So it's free? Yes, but you have a contract with a provider for your wifi router...

Provider - A company that connects your mobile phone with the world. By than you could send text messages, retrieve call and use internet over 3g etc.

FAQ

Blackberry - Can I still use pin if I'm using wifi only?
Yes, but you still need a blackberry service contract. (In the Netherlands it's 2,50 a month)

Tips to improve / extend iphone / ipod touch battery life

Hello,
I'm going to show you how to improve your iphone / ipod touch battery life. I'll give you 3 tips with almost no cons. But that's personally. The video will be posted soon!

video


step by step

  • Less brightness - The first and most simple tip is to use less brightness. Like any mobile phone your screen is the battery enemy. Go to your homescreen > settingsbrightness >  auto-brightness OFF! and there is almost no difference between 100% and 50% so slide the slider in the middle.
  • DePersistWifi - You need a jailbreak for this. Don't know how? checkout tutorials off tysiphonehelp. First you want to at a source and than you want to install an app that's only available in that source. But first what does it do? DePersistWifi disables wifi after 1 minute when you lock your iphone / ipod touch. And enables wifi when you unlock it again. So only when you need wifi it automatically turns on and when you don't need it (if you lock your iphone / ipod touch) it's automatically turned off. Wifi is one of the most common reasons why your battery is draining. So how do we install this etc? Open cydia > manage > right above edit > left above add > add source:  http://apt.modmyi.com/ > install the app DePersistWifi > open DePersistWifi and turn it on
    You won't get push notifications if you don't use 3g either! Because when wifi is off it doesn't check the whole time for new messages!
  • (..) and SBSettings and close background apps manually - (..) But what if you don't want to always close the app directly in the background. But sometimes you want to close all background apps at once? Use SBSettings  Open cydia > manage > right above edit > left above add > add source:  http://apt.thebigboss.org/repofiles/cydia > install the app SBSettings Now when you slide at the top of the screen (at the height of the battery life etc.) there pops up this SBSettings screen. But we want to add something. Open cydia > search > remove background sbsettings > install it So now we have everything installed to shut down everything at once. Slide at the top of the screen (at the height of the battery life etc.) and you will see an "app" with the name RemoveBG. When you have some apps in the background running and you push that button they will be closed in the background. But if you don't want to jailbreak your iphone or ipod touch you can do it manually. Go to your homescreen and press the home button twice (fast) now hold you finger on one of the apps for (3 seconds?) and now you will see "the remove" image. Press it and you will close that app in the background.
Some tips with serious cons
  • Airplane mode - When you in an airplane or just in an area without reception you can activate the airplane mode. This will disable wifi, bleuthooth, 3g (so you can't call and receive text messages etc.)
  • Disable wifi - When you not using wifi turn wifi off. Otherwise wifi will search the whole time for access points.
  • Disable location service - Just disable it. When do you really need location services? Google maps,  Facebook check in\, photo app (if you want to know where you toke that picture) but otherwise just turn it off.
  • Fetch new data (mail) - How do I change these settings? Home screen > mail, contact, calenders > fetch new data > turn off push Oke if you really want to be the first to receive a new mail you shouldn't turn it off. But when you don't care just turn it off. Use fetch instead. Now it will only check every X minutes.
