Disable EDGE/3G/GPRS Data On iPhone Using SBSettings Data Toggle

Advertisements

A data toggle has now been added to the Cydia app, SBSettings, which lets you enable or disable EDGE/3G data connection. This data toggle seems to be working even on the latest iPhone 3.1.3 OS. By setting a bogus IP address of 1.1.1.0, SBSettings Data Toggle switches off your data connection, thus saving you bandwidth and keeping your iPhone running longer.

For the unaware, SBSettings is a jailbreak app available for free in Cydia. It lets you quickly toggle various iPhone settings such as 3G, EDGE, Processes, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, SSH, Brightness, and so on right from your iPhone’s Homescreen. You can enhance the functionality of this app by bringing in add-ons, such as Data Toggle. Considering that you already have this jailbreak app on your iPhone, below are the steps to install the Data Toggle, an add-on of SBSettings.

In order to install the Data Toggle, launch Cydia, go to ‘Sections’ tab and look for SBSettings Addons. Now choose ‘Data Toggle’ from the list. After you install the package, restart Springboard. Launch SBSettings menu and you can now toggle data connection on or off. When data is turned off the ‘E’ icon for the Data Toggle is shown in red, and green otherwise.

A drawback of this app is that when you re enable the data connection, your iPhone will hang for about 15 seconds, due to reloading of commcenter by the program. A future update may fix this issue, though.

In order to use SBSettings Data Toggle, you need to jailbreak your iPhone.

    Hi, I have a iPhone 2g with 3.1.3 and it is using all my money connecting to the net, so I downloaded sbsettings from cydia and installed, I turned everything off (data, ssh, edge, etc) but still somehow it does eat all my money credit. Any suggestions please how to resolve this.
    Thanks

    I have the same problem of some of you guys. I use whited00r firmware 3.1.3 on my iPhone 3G. When I turn sbsettings Data/Edge off it changes my internet gateway to 127.0.0.1 instead of my ISP’s IP. Browsing the web is dissabled but my cell company charges even more. My last facture shows a lot off data traffic while I was sleeping with data disabled.
    It’s very annoying. The only way I found to dissable traffic (and keep my facture growing) is to delete APN settings manually and restore it when I need to. I hope someone knows how to repair this issue in sbsettings because i love it.
    Iphonenodata.com does that, change APN settings.
