Guest sc0user_75 Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 I woke up this morning to find that my 3g data connection was on - and it had been running for over 5 hours. Strange as I'd been asleep when the connection started itself up. And then again, I just looked at my phone and it had fired itself back up again. As Im not getting charged for this I'm not too concerned - but is there a reason for this happening? I've looked through all the connection settings and all seems to be OK and normal. ANy ideas?

Guest rickyburke Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 Do you have email set to poll the server periodically? What apps have you got installed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jimbouk Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 Most likely cause is activesync... I have always found that AS wants to keep a data connection alive after use (obviously thats normal when you have direct push on) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sc0user_75 Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 Ricky, Emails I have set up for auto retrieval every 4 hours. But I'm guessing that once they've been picked up/retrieved the data connection would drop itself??? Jim, no apps installed yet unfortunately. just what came on the phone. No Active Sync either. Although, I do have the Missing Sync software on the phone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jimbouk Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 Its the pop emails then. Data connection will remain connected (but passive and not costing anything) anyway. Thats normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rickyburke Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 Yeah, as Jimbo says, the data connection stays active, but no data is transferred, this used to annoy/worry me on Orange as their data packages have the potential to turn in 4 figure bills, but now on WebnWalk Max, it doesnt bother me at all. battery life isnt adversely affected either.

Guest jimbouk Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 Although my device keeps flashing over to "H" when I have nothing active at all... but as I am on OWU I dont mind either... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Swampie Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 Although my device keeps flashing over to "H" when I have nothing active at all... but as I am on OWU I dont mind either... As far as I understand, it switches to the H (with 2 arrows) only when it's downloading at HSDPA. If HSDPA is available, but no downloads are taking place (ie. when it's finished the download), then it sits at 3G with 2 arrows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sc0user_75 Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 I'll second that Swampie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
