I am using the Tilt. I set ActiveSync to sync during peak times "as items arrive" and then within 24 hours it's back at "manual". I think it has to do with the network switch from Edge 9at home) to 3G (at work) but I don't know for sure. Each morning after arriving at my office it occurs to me no email has arrived for a while and, lo and behold, it's set to manual again.

Hello everyone!
Just moved from a P3600 to the P4550 and noticed something strange twice in the last 4 days. When I looked at the display in the morning (phone and WLAN were off overnight.....hardly ever turn on WLAN, as I only use it when travelling) I found that WLAN had switched itself on sometime during the night. What gives?
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
This happens to me also if:
(1) ActiveSync is set to "as items arrive" (i.e. push)
(2) There is no phone signal.
Apparently AS looks for the Exchange server, and not being able to find a phone signal, turns on Wifi to see if it can connect like that.
I suppose this will also happen if you have AS set to poll mail at intervals. When the interval time arrives, I guess AS will want to go online and - not being able to use the phone signal - will turn on Wifi.
Very annoying as it drains the battery. It does NOT turn Wifi off after a while.
Oh well.

Oh - an afterthought: in CONNECTIONS I have set both programs accessing the net and programs accessing a private network configured to use MY WORK NETWORK. Don't know if fiddling around with that may stop AS turning on WifI.
Should you find a solution, please post coz I would like to fix this bug/feature too.
Hmmm.....if this theory is correct then going to flight-mode instead of just turning the phone off - should effectively not allow any kind of connections.....will check tomorrow....
Is there a way to make email accounts only automatically send/receive during normal waking hours? I an fed up with altering the options of pocket outlook every morning and evening in order to avoid being woken up with new mail every hour of the night.....
I don't believe that is posible.
if you get BandSwitch you can set the time that you reqiure a data connection,
no connection no automatic email.
This free program is for you:

You can set the send/receive schedules what ever way you want.
I have my accounts syncing from 9am to 6pm in every 30min, AND only on weekdays... There is much more functions, like close data after, use wifi and so on... Check it out...
Hello,
i use the Exchange Email Push and now i have changed my germen mobile provider. My new provider counts the data traffic in 100kb packages.
I've noticed, that the data connection went off after some minutes of inactivity. Because i use the direct push, the data connection suddenly reconnects.
So i have about 1 MB data traffic each hour, even when there is no mail.
Is there a possibility to hold the connection open?
The Kaiser tweak Option "Always On" does not work for me.
Is there a program which sends out a ping every x minutes so that the connection will stay open?
With my old provider, i had no disconnect.
Thank you

I had a similar problem after using the KaiserTweak's "auto disconnect" option (I don't remember the exact name of the option).
It disconnected after the specified period of time even if the connection was in use. After I reverted it, the problem was gone.

I have configured the Option "Disconnect After" to "Disable (Default)" but the Problem still occurs.

That's how Push email works, always checking. You can always turn off Push email and set the messaging program to check for email every x minutes.
You understand me wrong. I want the push programm to check always for new mails. But i don't want the internet connection closing every x minutes.
I need a permanent connection.

hi guys,
I've synched my device up to my companies exchange server and the kaiser uses 3G to connect the device to exchange. However, i've realised that the battery is severely killed off...can someone tell me if they share the same issue?
I'll get from 100% to 80% in 2 hours.
Do you have any suggestions?
Can i edit/change any settings to make the battery last longer AND still keep mobile web connectivity?
Hmmm...
Me and my collaegues have the same problem. We sync our Kaiser/MDA VArio III over the Inernet using EDGE. Using Active sync over the air in HTTPS. batter is dead in 2 days. Some calls, some SMSs, synchronizing every hour and in 2 days is dead. You can make some configurations like via KaiserTweak Function in user defined timeout kill EDGE/3G, or synchronize every hour or 2 hrs, not using direct push (long TCP conection etc). But in finale, battery can alive about 2 or 4 hrs longer but no more. Battery in Kaiser is little bit ****ty.
P.S. if you are often on the road, always use car charger
its a known problem that 3G drains the battery a lot. you will get much higher battery life if you turn it off when not needed. there are several threads about battery life already
Are either of you on ATT? I have posted several times about losing the ability to sync over the air to my exchange server after a rom flash. I fixed a previous rom flash with proxy settings, but its not working now. Can you provide me with the exact settings for your connection (to the internet) i.e., My ISP or MEdia net? I would appreciate it. Thanks,
Hi,
My Tytn II seems to have problems waking up from stand-by and retrieving emails at via wifi connections. I have set up the send/receive schedule to 5 minutes. The only way I seem to be able to retrieve emails via wifi is to wake the phone up manually (eg. press buttons) or wait for a reminder/alarm to sound which wakes the phone up.
Interestingly it doesn't have any problem waking up from stand-by/sleep to retrieve emails via a cellular (3G/HSDPA) connection.
I've installed KaiserTweak and set up the following:
- "Battery Resume from Suspend": 90 seconds (Max)
- "Wifi Standby Mode": Disabled
When I enabled "Wifi Standby Mode", it retrieved emails on cue, but this consumed way too much battery unfortunately, so it isn't acceptable.
I would really appreciate any ideas on how I can get the Tytn II retrieving emails according to the schedule by waking itself up from stand-by/sleep.
Thanks very much,
Prembo
It's not gonna work for you unless you enable the wifi standby mode. How can it know if you have emails if it doesn't have a data connection? The 3G connection will stay active while the phone is in standby, and as such can grab the emails on cue. But by allowing the wifi go into standby when the phone is in standby, you're effectively turning off the internet connection altogether. Either have the wifi standby turned off, or have it retrieve by 3G.
My 3G/HSDPA connection doesn't remain on permanently either.
I have it set (using KaiserTweak) to disable Data Connections (3G/HSDPA) after 1 minute of use. So my 3G/HSDPA is off whilst in stand-by mode most of the time.
However, the email retrieve schedule wakes up the Data Connection and then retrieves email. It doesn't seem to be able to however to wake up the Wifi connection and retrieve emails.
Enabling "Wifi Standby Mode" permanently leaves wifi connection active even during standby, therefore draining the battery significantly.
But it seems to be a fairly straightforward thing to wake the wifi connection up (just as it does the cellular connection) based on the email retrieve schedule.
PS. I'm connecting to the work network via wifi and therefore don't have access to work emails via cellular network.
