Friends,
Recently I bought N900 . I have a fixed data plan . But whenever i try to use VOIP for calling, the automatic updates run without invoking and eats up too much data. Please suggest how to turn off or disable automatic updates.



Moderator EDIT:


Disabling Auto Updates Check

You may want to disable the automatic software updates checks that occur upon internet connection, in order to consume less bandwidth when using 2G/3G connections. That is not possible but you may increase the interval to something less bothering. You can do so by editing the gconf file found in /var/lib/gconf/apps/hildon/update-notifier and changing the check interval from 1440(24 hours) to a much larger value (the value is read in minutes, 525600 is 365 days). The value must not exceed 2,147,483,647:

Code:
gconftool -s --type int /apps/hildon/update-notifier/check_interval NEW_VALUE
