Is there a way to tell windows phone upload Camera Roll pictures to SkyDrive via wifi only?

1

I'm a newbie on Windows Phone, I spent time on iOS and Android before and use the instant upload feature as well.

I found that on the Windows Phone, there's an option to upload Camera Roll pictures to SkyDrive which is as similar as Photo Stream or Google+ instant update did. But the problem is there is no option to tell it just upload via WiFi only, not the data plan (GRPS/EDGE/3G).

Because sometimes I capture picture while the 3G is on and do not want my phone upload it, that will eat up my data. I only have 400 MB of high-speed bandwidth, thus I'm don't want a ton of data transferred via cellular data connection.

So how can I set that feature just works on WiFi only, or prevent it upload via 3G?

Thanks!

Disable the data connection of the Cellular provider before performing the upload by doing the following:

  • Go to Settings
  • Go to Cellular
  • Set Data Connection to Off

Seeming that you misunderstand me. I don't want the phone upload my pictures until it find a Wifi connection. I may be on travel, take some picture, then turn cellular data on to access facebook, for example, then it use my data plan for instant upload. – Tu Tran – 2013-06-04T03:05:27.960

There is a registry key. It may or may not be available, depending on the phone and the availability of a registry editor.

I don't know what are you talking about. – Tu Tran – 2013-06-05T06:46:05.193

In general: I am referring to the Windows registry. Specificially: I am referring to the Windows Embedded Compact registry
