Disable all non-Wi-Fi Internet connections

Question

I want my phone (running Android 2.3.5) to only connect to the Internet via Wi-Fi.

How can I disable all non-Wi-Fi connections, such as 3G or similar?

This functionality is built into android so there's no need for an external tool/application.

In settings:

Wireless and networks -> Mobile Networks -> Data Enabled

Disable this and you're all set.

I don't have this option on my Droid Bionic running system 5.9.902.XT875.Verizon.en.US and Android version 2.3.4. – Gdalya May 10 '12 at 18:56

You can go on the configurations and disable the usage of mobile networks manually. If you want a more handy tool (i.e. not need to open menus), looks like this app can do it: APN Switch

APN-Switch is a simple widget that allows you to quickly enable (or disable) your data connection (3G/EDGE/GPRS) with a single click.

What I've done before is to turn on Airplane Mode, then turn on Wifi. Works like a charm on my Galaxy S.

That would disable normal cell phone functionality too, like calling and texts. – May 09 '12 at 07:30
