I recently applied the Kaiser tweak to disable idle connections after 1 min - this works great when the phone is on, however, when it goes into sleep mode, this fails to work.
E.G. If I click send/receive on my emails then quickly put it into sleep, turn on the device in 10min and it would have stayed connected, once it is turned on after a minute it will disconnect.
This morning I turned on the device to see that it had connected to receive emails last night and had stayed connected for hours - of course once I turned it on the tweak kicked in and it disconnected after a minute.
So my question is, how do you get the tweak to work whilst in Sleep? Any work arounds?
Thanks in advance!
Hi
If you are referring to GPRS/3G there is no problem the connection remaining active. It isn't really active unless data is being transferred, it is just the session remains ready for data. The mobile operators prefer it working this way as it is less strain on the network creating a data connection and keeping it rather than setting them up/closing them down/setting them backup again.
It doesn't use any more power by remaining up.
The software isn't shutting down the connection when you have the phone in standby as quite simply the software will not be running in standby, everything stops in standby, so the program can't run to turn off the connection, until you turn the phone on again.

Hi Philip,
From my experience I have found that even if the data connection is open with no data flow (HSDPA / 3G ) it drains the battery much more than if it were closed.
Or is this just for HSDPA?

Hi
There is a blog that explains what is happening from Microsoft.
I would guess that while the connection is active something on the device is seeing that and stopping the device from entering standby.
The actual connection itself remaining open does not drain any more power as it isn't doing anything different than just having your phone on waiting for a call.

Hi Philip,
Thanks for your response.
I have to say though from the last few days of tinkering, an open connection does drain more than a closed one even with no data flowing. This is with HSDPA, I have not tested this with just a 3G open data connection though...
Are we talking about the same things? I'm a bit new to this phone though sorry.
Thanks,
How/What do i need to do for the wifi internet sharing to continue sharing when the phone goes to sleep, I know there are apps that will keep the phone awake while the wifi is ON, but internet sharing is already battery unfriendly as it is, to top it off with the screen being ON all the time, so I would like the phone to go to sleep but the wifi still be ON, I apologize if this subject was addressed before I just couldn't find it. Thank you in advance.
TD2 Tools has a setting for allowing Wifi in stanby mode.
I've never tested it though.
Hi guys,
I know am new to this forum, so pls pardon me
I have a constant problem with my 3G connection and hotspot/teethering.
It works perfectly for few minutes, and then after some time the 3g icon keeps on blinking and goes away, and then appears. I mean I have to refresh the page again or disconnect/connect again to make it working...
Any solutions.
plz help, why no reply?
hej guys,
i have a problem regarding my i9305. when the battery is charged to 100% and i have wifi enabled and the phone is connected to my wifi router, i have the impression that the wifi anyway is scanning all the time for new networks. within two hours my battery is at ~85% with normal (almost no) usage.
when wifi is disabled - same usage as before - i am at 94% after 5 hours!
so is there a possibility to stop the i9305 from wifi scanning when it is already connected to a wifi? or is there any other issue why the wifi drains the battery that quick?
cheers
