Hi,
I'm located at the border of Germany to Switzerland and Austria so my N900 is connecting to other countries' networks quite frequently. As roaming fees for data traffic are quite high: Is there a possibility to tell my N900 that it should only use the 2G/3G internet connection while it's connected to my German network?
Regards,
Britschler

You should also disable the setting for automatic network search. You should definetly set this to manual. I live near the German border and my phone used to connect to Eplus automatically. When U set it to manual it wont do that.

Settings > Phone > Network > Data roaming, as described earlier in this thread. Really, you found the thread but didn't read it?

on my home network ... i go an disable the 3g internet connection ... and after a while ... is on again ... because some app or widget needed some update ... even though i disabled the connection in settings
so ... same way ... i could disable the data connection in roaming to discover that some app needed connection and reactivated it
that was my real question

I have got the same experience - disabling 3G doesn't work in all cases.
Email is still updating, unless you swith this off in emails - settings.
And sygic keeps asking for internet connection twice an hour.
