It's something that is decisive to my even considering buying a Jolla: can one use the Internet connection only manually?
Fully manually means: the device never scans for WiFi (even when on mobile internet), never connects without my consent (both to WLAN/3G), if internet connection is needed I'm shown a dialog to choose a network. This can be done on N900 and, to some extent, on N9(50)

Hi,
to my comprehension, it is exactly the way t is if you shut down wifi and data. In this case, no connection happens without prompting for wifi or data. That is the way I use my Jolla. all connections down, manually activation when i want or when I agree to a prompt / dialog box in any application (browser, email,...).
best regards
And suppose you have the prompt, select a connection, have some transfer. What happens in you go out of the WiFi's range? Is it turned back off? Can you connect manually on demand (no application needs it, but you select the network because you want to use zypper?

"What happens in you go out of the WiFi's range? Is it turned back off?" I didn't test this case, I think it's stay on because you've just turned it on in the dialog box (not sure)
"Can you connect manually on demand (no application needs it, but you select the network because you want to use zypper?" Yes sure (one action in the setting panel and you select the network you want to activate... or not)
