Another GPRS Question

[Guest broken1]

On my S710, I use direct-push (active-sync with exchange server). I got phoneAlarm which is set so that about the time I get home, it changes my profile and activates my WiFi. I thought that direct push would work through WiFi but I see my GPRS counter is still going up? Haven't used the internet explorer or anything.

If you go into the communication pannel to de-activate GPRS, it deactivates Direct-Push. I am at home, with my wifi always connected (I disabled the disconnect on standby).

Any ideas?

3. Is Direct Push supported over Wi-Fi?

No. Direct Push requires a cellular data connection. It is not supported over Wi-Fi or Desktop Passthrough(when the device is cradled).

Due to hardware limitations, Wi-Fi cannot go into standby mode and receive notifications. So in order to support Direct Push over Wi-Fi, the Wi-Fi connection would have to be kept alive which in turn would drain the battery very rapidly.
