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.

I'm trying to keep my GPRS connection alive - all day
I'm using a mobile solution which relies on traffic being sent automatically via GPRS to a Qtek 2020i (service calls for field engineers)
The problem is that the GPRS appears to time out (or at least go to sleep) after a period of inactivity.
I need to keep the connection alive as having to manually reactivate it (or wake it up) defeats the object of my engineers receiving calls via GPRS.
The "G" symbol appears on a white background and has to be tapped to wake it up ("G" with left and right arrows).
Only then will the queued data be sent to the unit.
The timeout period appears to be around a couple of minutes.
I've checked the power settings - there is nothing which relates to GPRS timeout.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Would be worthwhile checking with your operator as I believe that the timeout is setup on the network not the device.
My understanding of the general issue is that the network times out the GPRS connection and the device or OS (WM2003 etc) does not properly handle reinitialising the connection or detecting that it has timed out.
Is the data really being sent to the device. We have used O2 and Orange and the IP allocated is not available from the internet unless you go with something like a VPN solution.
You could look at changing the app to request the info or at least ping a server every few minutes to keep the connection alive.
GB-Soft Tweak
There is a program called GB-Soft Tweak, which could help with the issue. I'm using it even on the MDA_PRO (as I did with the MDA2) and it's working flawlessly.
It has an option "to keep the GPRS connection always 'on'". I believe you can at least try it. It installs in "Settings" and once set, you don't need to touch anything.
It's just 13KB and I'll attach it to this message.

I will give it a try and thanks a lot man.
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....
i was in an area with no gprs today and my kaiser was constantly trying to connect, this went on unnoticed and when i looked at my gprs tracker is racked up 38mb in one hour, thank god i have a 1gb data plan. what's going on here why does it use data to connect? and is there any way to stop it from trying to repeadily connect like that? when i try to turn off the gprs connection with comm manager or gprs manager, windows will automatically try to reconnect over and over and over again.
Any chance you have ActiveSync running in the background when you check? I'm abroad at the moment and have the same problem, this is my no.1 culprit at the moment.
nope i have nothing running in the background. i don't understand how it's using data when it's not connected. i can't figure this out, i don;t even know where to begin.
sorry double post
I have the same issue! I have no data plan and my GPRS was connected for some 39 minutes the other day!!!
Anyone any ideas? Not sure if it's the MMS messaging that is causing it...?!?
figured it out, i just left the password section blank in the connection setting that was it always promts me to enter the password everytime the phone tries to reconnect
A silly question by a new user: how is it possible to stop an internet or data connection (no matter if hsdpa, edge, gprs) once started?
Thanks
use 'long key press' in settings, can be set to disconnect a data connection (sdpa, edge, gprs)
Use this program:

The connection stop after 1 minutes of inactivity

faulty url!
take this one:
GB-SOFT GPRS-UMTS_Tweak_WM6.1_Diamond
there you can choose the idle-time for disconnect
Anyway the manual stopping mode is to tap the bar that is on the top of the sceen...than tap the G E 3G or U icon and so you can tap disconnect.

Cool, also in stead of holding the end call button, wich locks the phone in my case,
Dubbelclicking the end call button alse ends my edge connection.
In order for your end key to stop the connection, you have to go to Settings>System>Long Press End Key>Select Terminate data connection
Then when you press and hold your end key, it will end the connection
if you prefer to stop internetconnection by shortcut, try VJKeyPress.exe 126
this one toggles internet connection
i've searched and i've searched and i cant find the resolve!
after retrieving hotmail, the connection stays active, meaning bars are lit up. for HOURS after unless i long-press-end key or something like that. even when i am surfing the web, after a page is fully loaded, the bars stay lit. on my old diamond, the bars used to go gray or "dormant" etc. therefore no tweaks i have found help (i.e. most operate with this rule "if the connection is dormant/inactive for xx minutes, turn off data" etc. well my connection remains ACTIVE unless i manually intervene)
what is causing this??? i only have spb mobile shell and spb phone suite installed. stock ROM.
hello? anyone? NO one is having the same issue or can help with this??? at this point i'd even be happy with a rude comment about how i should learn how to search coupled with a few links to threads which contain the answers! :\
I'm not sure I understand your question.
You're saying the connection stays alive after using mail or opera?
By default, WMo does not turn off data connection, so once you've made a data connection, it stays on.
Now, there are lots of programs out there that turns off data connection after a pre-set time. If you have Advanced Config on your Diamond, it's somewhere in there as well (I use SKTools and not Advacned Config so I can't point you exactly where, but it's there)
That said, many have tested battery drain and find that leaving the data connection ON or OFF makes absolutely no difference on the battery drain. It's only when you're transmitting data that drains more battery. Not sure if that's where you're coming from to want to turn off data connection

number16, my savior! i'll try to explain as best i can: when the data connection is started/being used, those left-right arrows appear above the signal strength, correct? what i call "active" is when those arrows are lit (presumably when data is actually being transferred). what i call "dormant" is when the arrows are still there but are gray/not lit (i.e. connection is still open, but not currently transferring data). well, up until a 2 wks ago, all seemed fine - the arrows would briefly stay lit when downloading a page, connecting to hotmail, etc, but then would go gray once the transfer was complete. now however, the arrows stay lit. sometimes for hours at a time even tho nothing is running, no data (that i know of) is being transferred, etc.
so what i was saying is that, yes, i know i can long-press-end key to shut it down, but that only works if i notice it otherwise it's just draining my battery. (most times it is in my pocket, and since it checks hotmail periodically, the data connection may open and stay on without me noticing). and yes, i know about advanced config setting (and actually, i DO have it set to turn off after a minute) BUT that only applies if "connection is not active for more than a minute". i.e. since my whole problem is that my data connection technically stays active, that advanced config setting doesnt work.
so my question is, what is keeping the connection active? why is it doing this? i am running stock ROM and only have spb mobile shell and spb phone suite loaded. and a few other minor tweaks via advanced config/regedit. i even tried spb wireless monitor to see what was active after a data transfer was complete (as far as i could tell) but it didnt really tell me anything.
does all that make sense?
thanks for any help you can provide...
For some strange reason Kaisertweak continues to 'reset' itself to disable my data connection.
I have made a simple video that shows I am on E connection only, 3G is off, as well as Data Connection.
I launch Kaisertweak to enable the Data (GPRS/EGDE/HSDPA/WIFI) tab. As a good measure I verify that the others are enabled as well.
The following screen shows one of the errors I am receiving - stating This programs requires a data connection, and will retry automatically. In the mean time, please check your signal strenght. (Error: wininetHttpError [0 12150]0)
As you can see on the ssame screen I am at full signal strength.
I have enable my data connection through Kaisertweak and reconnect to google maps to use a random search in order to start the data connection.
Searching....
Searching....
Searching....
Again - This programs requires a data connection, and will retry automatically. In the mean time, please check your signal strenght. (Error: wininetHttpError [0 12150]0)
I launch Kaisertweak again and my Data (GPRS/EGDE/HSDPA/WIFI) 'tab' is back to disable. I reenable the connection by using the pulldown.
Exit Kaisertweak and do a random search using google maps.
Searching....
Searching....
Searching....
Same error as above.
I launch the comm manager and enable 3G.
Once 3G is enabled I try to complete the random search though google maps.
Searching....
Searching....
Searching....
You will note that 3G does not connect during this search. As soon as it erros out with the same error as listed it connects to H.
I retry the search...
Searching....
Searching....
I check connectivity and although connected to H I see no active data sessions.
Searching....
This programs requires a data connection, and will retry automatically. In the mean time, please check your signal strenght. (Error: wininetHttpError [0 12150]0)
I did relaunch Kaisertweak again and my Data (GPRS/EGDE/HSDPA/WIFI) 'tab' is back to disable.
any ideas?
I need my data!! haha!! Please see attached!
You may need to pause the video at some parts to see what happens since the screens flash pretty fast at some parts.

Silly question, but does a soft reset not fix....?
Do you get the same issue if you try to launch IE?

I did do a soft reset and I was able to use my data connection for one use. Meaning after the 30seconds on nonuse it would automatically turn off as per settings in Kaisertweak.
Then I was back to the same issue as listed above.
Again soft reset, I am able to use my data connection via IE and other apps that require data, however, after the 30 seconds of nonuse the same issue occurs as listed above.
Initially I thought it was something wrong with the build. So I did reflash the phone, I did download and use a newer version of Kaisertweak.
Remove post sorry read wrong....
This is a strange one my friend. Try the ATT settings cab just for Shnitz and giggles. Also, how about you try manually disconnecting the data before Tweak has a chance, are you able to reconnect after that?
after some trial and error -
I deleted kaisertweak and associated files. Soft reset the phone. My phone is back to normal. I am able to use my data. I can manually disconnect from H and then launch IE and my data connection starts up fine. I am still unsure why Kaisertweak would default to DISABLED for data although I set it to ENABLE. I am just glad to have my data connection back without having to soft reset when I wanted to use it.
To those that have replied... thanks for your feedback.

The screen shot you displayed was for the fast sleep settings
Your data settings should look as displayed below
Sounds as if you had the "Disconnect After" set to 30 seconds
