Today I briskly shuffled my way into 2007 and bought a smartphone (AT&T Fusion2). Question is: is it possible to set it so that it will only connect to the net via wifi and keep me from having to worry about data charges and whatnot?

Smartphone question...
- Thread starter Duuuuuuuude
- Start date
I found that, but didn't know if it killed all data transfer or just the mobile transfer...
Figured it out...didn't know I had to manually set up the wifi connection. 
Thank you sir. "thumbsup"

I've got a 3g off app for my GS2, works great for times I don't want to use mobile data. I try to keep the 4g turned off too, it's kinda spotty and screws with 3g for me.

Unless you are surfing the net and get tons of email with attachments, you shouldn't have to worry about going over the base 2GB data plans.
If you are home (or work if they allow it) once the phone connects to WiFi that is what it uses for email and web data. All texts run through the data plan.
If you want to track what you are using for data, or see what app is the offending app get this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobidia.android.mdm&hl=en
Will track both data plan usage and WiFi usage, you can set warnings for certain limits as well.
Also, go through all apps and set them to manual updates, and set Play store to only update on WiFi

Root privelages..... You can block a lot of what Google does with your phone. And stop a lot of what they see on your phone
Only with iMessage and only to other apple devices. Thats the only thing I like about my iPhone. Otherwise I hate it and would shoot it if I had another phone to use.
On a side note, iOS 7 beta 2 is promising. still some issues but pretty good.

Yes you can.. :lol:
I love my Android, and will debate on Android vs. Apple all day (as I type on an iMac..), but at least know what you are talking about when you do it.

Oh my bad, you can but you can't see it cause there is no app drawer. I admit defeat in that one. But it took iOS 5 before apple could do what android was back when android 1.5 was out...... But I am out of this. I hear enough apple vs. Android on XDA......

Can you still dial 0 and get an operator?
