Turning radio off....

[sk8trix]

Hey guys just wanted to know how you turn off the radio on the Atrix.I want the phone on but no radio kinda like how you can disable it on a BB
Also one other thing,when att says data plan.Do apps eat up that data or only when you go online and watch videos and such things like browsing?

I dont have an atrix but....

if apps and or widgets using data without your knowledge is a concern then you can disable background data

settings>accounts & sync> uncheck background data

if you want to completely disable your radio

long press home screen>widgets>power control>then use the airplane toggle

or

settings>wireless&networks> from here you can control your network and wireless settings

ok kool yea I dont want to play with the background data stuff because I want it to work when im not home,as I need my emails for work on time.
Only when I'm home I want to turn off all data so I can only use my wi-fi and save myself the extradata charges for going over my two GB per month so I hope this helps then.

yeah like i said shutting off data is not necessary if wifi is on , it can only use wifi or data not both
