Can anyone tell me how to turn of the 3g function on my diamond, i know it saves alot of battery power...
Go to settings, phone, band and select "GSM" on the top input.
The download Advanced config and use it to set "Enable grps auto attach" to disabled.
Ok great, thanks, hope this will save some battery power Any other stuff to turn off to save power??
You could also try installing Navdavi CommManager
AND You could also try searching before posting questions like this!!!!

Right i dont know if this is a bug or its just the way the Diamond is but i go to connect to the internet via opera...everything is fine and it connects via HSDPA. But when i close opera down...the connection is still alive ie doesnt disconnect automatically, i have to manually do it myself which is going to be a problem as i wont remember most of the time and im pretty sure the battery is going to be dead the longer i leave the connection as it is.
So is this normal??..reason i ask is with my nokia n95 i connected to the net but when i closed the browser down...the connection died as well ie disconnected automatically.
If this is normal is there anyway i can change an option that will close the connection as soon as i disconnect from the net??.
Again sorry for asking but its puzzling me as to why it would keep the connection alive even if i wasnt using the net...
Anyone help?? or is it just the way it is??.
I noticed the same thing -after coming from an iPhone and an N95.
Just go into the connection manager and close active connections after use. Its a pain, but an easy solution until someone suggests something better!

Yes, it's "normal".
You need to press the "end call" button, or configure it using the setting application to drop the data connection, or use the command manager to switch off the data connection, or use advanced config program to set the data connection to end after some minutes.
Well the way i figured it out is by using the long press key function, ive mapped it to my call end button which if i press for a few secs..disconnects me from the data connection.
I was hoping that there would be an option where you could specify when to kill the connection off ie after 10 mins of idling...ive been looking through the settings etc and cant seem to find anything...neither can i find anything in the advanced config program either other that gprs auto attach which ive disabled...

Thanks...ive had a look through the settings in the phone but cant see any option where you can specify when to drop the connection...same with advanced config...i cant see that option anywhere>??
Using 'Advanced Config' you can drop the connection after xx minutes of idle.
Programs > AdvConfig > Menu > Connections Settings.

Well either i must be blind or im looking in the wrong area but for the life of me i cannot see an option in advanced config regarding dropping the data connection.

Thank you my friend, found it and put it to 1 min...lets see how it works now lol...
ok works great, set it to drop connection after 1 min and it did \o/...now i dont have to worry about my battery getting spanked lol
Hi guys,
My battery is dies quickly if my connection is on. Is there any cab files created that allow connections to automatically be switch off after say 1min, 5mins etc? I do use push mail so would like it to come on and go off ...
Cheers in advance ...

No, you either have it on or off. If you want to kill it do this:
Disable Auto Attach GPRS with Schaps Advanced Config
Luck!

Yes, or at least DiamondTweaks purports to be able to disconnect data connections after x minutes (persumably of non-use). Note the caveat about it potentially not working in some programs and also disconnecting simultaneous voice calls at the same time so you would be wise to experiment with it first!
If you give it a try do let us know how you get on.

Theres the auto attach function which you can disable in Schaps Advanced Configuration Tool which means data connections will only be seeked when you go to use an application that makes a data request.
There is also an AUTO OFF option to auto disconnect the session after specified number of idle minutes....Not had any issues on 1.93.405.1 image with regard to call drops etc. Mine is set to 5 minutes disconnect.
Do you know if it is possible to detach (not just disconnect) again from GPRS following a connection that's no longer required? The auto-attach setting is all well and good but once you've used it and disconnected you remain attached (until you soft-reset of course).

I have battery issues when it comes to net, but I don't want to keep it as always EDGE, otherwise I wasted my money on an xperia.
Instead, I want to keep 3G on, but turned off if no internet is used for more than I mins, but turns on when I go on the internet. Is this possible?
Hi!
Take a look at WMLongLife....

Use Advance Configuration Tools --> Menu --> More Setting --> Connections --> check DISCONNECT AFTER 1 mnt --> ok then soft reset.
yo. i need when i turn off screen wifi dont disconenct.. how i can do it ? its anyoing when still connecting/disconnecting
As always, Google is your friend... find OldSAP Don`t sleep WiFI, or WiFiNoStandby, install, turn ON when you`re WiFi connected and do what you wanna do.
thx.. i was googling but i didnt find it
You can also use the Advanced Config program to make it so the wireless doesn't go into standby. So when you use the power button to switch off the screen, wifi remains connected.

yea but i dont know where in advenced config
It is in network settings. You can set wifi to turn off after no activity and turn off after a set time out.
it always disconect.. i tryied all what u post here
Have you tried advanced config but not under main menu:
Menu/More Settings/Connections : Enable WiFi on standby mode.
ahh yea... ty very much work now ... another question.. why my display go off when i am in call .. after 30 seconds.. i cannot end call
Again, Advanced Config has a setting for that, " no sleep during a call "
thx very much..
The ROM I use (wm6.5, 3.09 driver, M2.5) does not disconnect WiFi when it suspends. It drains the battery very quickly if I forget to turn off wifi. I wanna write a script to make this function (turn off wifi or not when suspending) a configurable choice, and then map to a hardware button.
I searched on web. They said that changing the key "HTCkeepwifionwhenunattended" to 0 can disconnect wifi automatically. Some of them said that this only works before next soft reset. But for me, whenever before or all after reset, it doesn't work at all. No matter the value of this key is 0 or 1, wifi connection is kept alive after suspending.
Any one tell me why? This is common or a special problem to my rom? any other methods to turn off wifi after suspend or some idle time?
Thank you guys a lot!!
anybody knows? help pls! big thanks

you should just use the Touch X DataDisconnect
TWEAK Reply
For the longest time, I had the opposite problem: I was forever annoyed that the WLAN would automatically disconnect every time I turned the device off. Then I found two very handy utilities that can fix (or unfix, in your case) that and many many other things. I use Advanced Config and DiamondTweak. Incredibly useful pieces of software.

Thanks for the reply. But this is not what i need. I want wifi disconnect automatically when screen goes black. I often forget to turn the wifi off and after a few hours finding battery drained.

I installed it. Is "turn off wifi if no activity" the right item? I change the value to Yes, and "wifi auto off timeout" is set to 30 seconds. But it still doesn't work

I find the place. It's in ACT's menu->more settings, uncheck "keep wifi on when standby". However, it still doesn't work...
Probably this setting just modifies "HTCkeepwifionwhenunattended" in the registry， which seems not make any difference in my system.
I'm going crazy...
I finally find the reason. That's because this ROM doesn't use the default wifi switch interface. It wrote its own .exe program to turn on and off the wifi, maybe by which it bypasses the registry tweaks.
By using the system wifi switches, the modification of registry works.

why you don't try Bandswitch...??
Bandswitch has a function Take control of your connections: Switch between 2G-3G Enable and disable connections. Disabling connections makes imposible to use them so you know they wont generate traffic data. Stablish and close connections. Set a time frame where connections wont be allowed (ie, when you are sleeping) saving money and battery.. Turn off/on Bluetooth and Wifi with or without time limite. When the limit expires then It is set to off state
but if you want to know the registry tweak to disable or enable the wifi connection , like here HKLM\COMM\TNETWLN1\Parms\dot11SupportedRateMask = 1 (DWORD decimal) is enabled

In advanced config app,under the Network sub category you will find "Wi-fi auto off timeout".Set the time as per your requirements.
