Hello, if this is in the wrong section I'm sorry.

Every time I connect to 3G something start downloading and it's consuming about 10mb a day (this is a problem to me because in Brasil 3G connection are charged by the MB used in the month and its expensive).
I don't know what app it is, its not my e-mail because i set to only connect with wifi, I'm thinking that maybe is the app manager looking for updates.
Can I configure the manager to only search when in WiFi connection?
I'm newbie on this.

Thanks

Wild guess, but it couold be Maemo's auto-update checking the repositories for new software. I believe the only way round it is to disable all repos in App Manager and eneable them only when you want to manually check for updates or install something.

No, you can set the update interval to an enormous value, which will effectively disable the auto-update. See http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...0&postcount=19 for the command to run

Alternatively download maemodder from the repos and you will be able to turn off the updates from within the GUI.
