Messenger

[Guest karl_woodbridge]

Is there anyway to keep Messenger permanently connected? It seems to be okay until the keylock is activated and then it auto logs out. I've tried ticking the box to 'sign in everytime connection is available' but this doesn't seem to make any difference. Thanks!

If you plug the phone into the PC for ActiveSunk, or your make or receive a call, GPRS gets temporarily suspended

As soon as that happens Messenger throws you back to the Sign In page

Even with the GPRS always-on tweak it kicks you off if you plug in (haven't tested making a call come to think of it)

It's just kinda poor.

Do any of the 3rd party apps get around this?

It sounds like you're dropping your GPRS connection when you press the end key. Not sure if this'll help but you could try using smartease shell config to set GPRS to never timeout.

EDIT: Not sure what happened to that link but you'll need to add ".cab" to the end of the file.

That's the thing I meant, well done crafty!

It fixes part of the problem, but it doesn't fix the whole thing.

If you hold down the hangup key to turn keylock on your gprs session will be disconnected.

However, if you push the power button briefly and choose keylock from the quick list, it will not disconnect your gprs and your messenger will remain signed in.
