Connect using GPRS or 3g, these connections can be set to always on, even when the Kaiser goes to sleep.
Alternaively keep the Kaiser awake, Settings>Power>Advanced uncheck Turn off device if not used. Your battery life will be very short if you leave the device awake with wifi active.

GPRS / HSPDA Killin battery ...!

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).

problems with TD 2, pls help

hello,
I have just purchased the new TD 2, it is the first phone of this kind that I use (up till now I have only used Nokia Business phones)
Although I considered myself a person that knows his way around how to use a mobile phone, I was surprised to actually be forced to read the manual for the HTC TD2 - unfortunately the information in the manual is general and did not help me at all...
ok so here are the problems I hit:
1. For internet access I have activated "Vodafone Live!" packet with my network (Vodafone) - (internet works fine with no probs)
However, whenever I am near a Wi-Fi zone I would like to use that Wi-Fi signal to connect to the internet and NOT my "Vodafone Live!" setting.
I could find NO way to select how to use Wi-Fi and not the other preset network. (As far as I can see the phone still uses Vodafone Live! and not the Wi-Fi, although I previously manually connected to the Wi-Fi and I tested on my other phone that it is working...)
2. With my other business phone (nokia) whenever I stop using the internet page the phone disconnects (the 2 arrows disappear) but with TD2 I have the impression that even when I exit from Opera or IE the phone still remains connected somehow to the internet - how can I make it disconnect and not use the battery for no reason ?
The only way I found to manually disconnect it is going to START / Settings / Communications / the Push Data Connection button to OFF.
Is there any automatic way to do that whenever I quit the browser?
Thank you in advance for u`r help

The Touch Diamond 2 will use an active WIFI connection over your Vodafone Live! connection. If you are wanting to connect to a Public WIFI zone, then simply select the WIFI connection that you want from you list on the "Connect to Wi-Fi network" screen.

If this really bothers you there are applications dotted around here on XDA devs that will automaticaly disconnect your internet connection after a preset amount of time. That said though, just because the TD2 has a connection to the internet, does not mean that it is transmitting any data and does not use up any of your internet allowance and also it will not drain your battery that much.
Thank you very much for the explanations and u`r time!
Regarding the first problem above that is good news, although I don’t like it that I don’t have full control over it.
for example I’m going abroad next week for 10 days and I rly don’t want to use the Vodafone live! option as it will cost as hell
an option where I could be prompted and asked if I want it enabled or not - would have been great...
guess ill just delete it from the connections tab and reinstall it when I get back in my country - seems to be the only safe option.
One more thing,
Whenever I try to access a video-clip over the internet (using the IE not the Opera) the phone automatically directs to the program STREAMING VIDEOS program)
And here the clip ONLY works if I select to connect over “THE INTERNET” – why ??
For example if I go to Streaming Videos / Networks, I can find the following:
Vodafone Live!
Vodafone MMS
Mobile internet
My Work Network
My ISP
Work
Secure Wap Network
The Wap Network
The internet
What the heck are all those ??? I only know of “Vodafone Live!” - and the straming video does not work when I select it … it only works when I select THE internet (like I said above)
Ah, if you are going abroad or just anywhere that you don't want to use Vodafone Live!, there is a little application called "NoData" which allows you to toggle your data connections on/off.
Will edit this post once I find where it is again.

As for streaming videos, I've never used it so can't say.

Indeed, NoData is a handy tool.
What you can also use is the following one found on XDA-devs:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=503131
It will automatically turn off your data connection when you're not on your standard network.
It isn't perfect, but it works well and the developer is really listening to all suggestions and very active.
you guys are a pice of heaven
thank you again for all u`r help
question, this program NoData, also stops Wi-Fi data transfers or just network ?
thank you
NoData will only stop phone network connections. You will be able to use wifi as normal.

How to disconnect form internet?

Hi to All,
I have recently bought new Xperia X1 for my girlfriend and I was convinced that it will allowed me to control data connection similar to the HTC Touch Pro 2 (and what I hate about Android - there is no way to control data connection and phone is permanently connected)- when I push disconnect hardware button it disconnects data connection what is great to save the battery. Do you know if it's the only way to disconnect form data connection using Communication Manager or it's possible to do some tweak?
Kind regards and thank you for your help in advance!
Max
hey
there is the nodata app from modaco, very efficient
do a quick search and give it a try
best
There is also the attached app that can be configured to auto-close after desired inactivity timeout.
