How to turn the internet OFF on a Samsung Galaxy S2

 Whilst lots of people will be wanting to use their fantastic new Samsung Galaxy S2 to play about on the internet some people will either not have a contract that allows for mobile internet or will be wanting to save battery. One of the ways of dealing with both of these issues is to turn off the mobile internet. If you are not connected to a Wi-Fi connection your phone will always be searching for the internet even if it won't be using it. Of course if you have things synced up then the phone will syncing all the time which really drains the battery and can even add to your bill.

To "turn the internet off" you need to enter the settings menu (press the menu button
and then settings) then open up the Wireless and network sub settings men before scrolling down to the option called "Mobile networks". What you then need to do is untick the box that says "Use packet data". This will completely stop you from using the internet AT ALL on your phone and as a result you won't be able to search the net, sit on facebook or receive MMS messages.

Of course you can, at any point, go back and tick the box to turn it back on if you decide you do want to sit browsing the internet via mobile internet services (you can however still use Wi-Fi even with packet data turned off).

Hope this helps to both save you money and save your battery.
