Until now i had 2.1 jailbreak version on my iPhone 3G 16gb and now upgraded it to 2.2.1 and jailbreak it. In BossPrefs i cannot longer put the edge to off. I can only put 3g to off and wireless... I just don't want to get a large bill so i want to disable iPhone connecting to the internet via edge and 3g... Please help!

In help section they sad to try to post here for this...
 
OK. Now i don't have mossprefs anymore and I have SBsettings... When i click on edge button i turns red but than i turn of my wireless and go to safari, and my iphone loads a page, so edge is working... WTF??
 
Now i restored my iPhone and again quickpwned it and again the same thing... Whe i click on EDGE icon i SBsettings it turns red and then a click refresh and it turn green again... It just wont stay red! This is really frustrating and I'm a bit pissed of... Please help me, I'm out of ideas!

Forget what other people have said. Use BossPrefs. Way more reliable, and when it says something is off, it is actually off. SBSettings is only if you want to quickly change something, and half the time I turn something off it stays on or crashes my iPhone.

Once you have BossPrefs re-installed again, there should be a toggle for Edge. If not, go into Config and make sure Show Edge is on. Then go back, and turn off Edge.

Even when it is off, it will still show a little 'E'. This cannot be helped, but I assure you it is off.

OK. I'm gonna do that now. And I know that when it is off that little "E" is shown. It was all fine and working when i had 2.1 on my iPhone. But now when i turn in bossprefs to off i wont go to off...

Ok. I got bossprefs but it wont turn to off. In bossprefs i click on off and little circle is animating for 3sec and just go back to on... I don't know what I'm gonna do now...
 
Thats weird.
Theres 2 ways to turn off edge in bosspreffs.
Did you look further into the settings for the 2nd way to disable it?
You can always also call your cellphone company and tell them to block all internet data to your line.

What is other way in bossprefs... And about calling company, I have T-mobile and I'm in Croatia. They sad when I bought iPhone that there is no way to turn that off...
 
If you go into Settings, General, Network, Cellular Data Network, and screw around with the settings... It wont be able to work AT ALL.

So if you just want to use WiFi, nothing else, this should work.

Go to this website in safari on your iPhone
http://www.unlockit.co.nz/

Chose Disable Data (FakeAPN)

It should block data usage until you delete it in your system preferences menu.

Now if this doesnt do the trick either Im going to fly to Croatia to help you out in person :D
