The problem is, every 5 minutes or so, my phone connects to 3g internet if there is no wifi. Some app is causing it to connect.
My understanding of Maemo is that no app silently causes a new connection to be made. Apps use existing connections.

In order for such connections to exist there is an option to "Auto Connect" to "Any Connection". This is done at an interval specified by the user, 5 minutes for example.

In such a configuration, even with no apps running, your phone would connect to a 3g internet connection if there is no wifi.

Your phone seems to be functioning properly. Maybe you should configure it to Always Ask or WLAN.
