GPRS Disconnection

[Guest lrlfc]

Is there a free program to disconnect the GPRS after a period of inactivity to prolong the battery life

[Guest goodbrand]

there is nodata that paul created which you can block it coming back on with if that helps...

or you can set your email to come on demand, rather than automatically searching for emails...

I have no data installed, but my idea was to be able to automatically check my emails periodically, and disconnect after a couple of minutes without data

I don't know an automatic way, so I am not really answering the question, but the hunging button closes the GPRS connection. You can hold it down from time to time B)

There is a way that works very well, but you will need a registry editor such as RESCO, OR MEMMAID. I use both because RESCO File Explorer is a file managment app and MEMMAID is a memory management app. If you don't already have them, you must purchase them, but you can download both for trial use. In any case, here's what you must do... In the registry, Go to...

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\ConnMgr\Planner\Settings\

Find the entry called... SuspendResume. Change the string from ~GPRS! to GPRS_bye_if_device_off

Find the entry called... CacheTime. Change the value from 600 (my system default) to 60 (my preferred). This is amount of time in seconds.

Soft reset your device.

This edit will automatically disconnect your GPRS connection after 60 seconds of inactivity, without any action on your part, and it works very well.

In addition, if you are Outlook Mobile on your device, you may want to make sure that your settings are made to Manually download messages, otherwise your Omnia will also connect automatically to look for new messages -- if this isn't your preference. It will still disconnect with the edit that I described, but it will also keep connecting as well.

Hope this helps!
