GPRS gets shut down when accidently pressing "End"

[Guest Falstaf]

When using MSN all day, keeping the phone in my pocket, i often get disconnected because the "End" button gets pressed accidently.

This happens even if the keypad is locked.

Is there some reghack, anyhthing, to diable the function that disable's GPRS on "End"-key?

Why would you want MSN connected if you are not using it?

All that is doing is costing you GPRS usage.

Probably what is happening is that when it is in your pocket it is timing out due to inactivity.

I have 5 000 kB GPRS usage included /month.

That covers staying connected and chatting every day, atleast 6 hours :lol:

Its abit anoying for instance if youre waiting for a response from a coworker and you notice after 20 minutes that you got disconnected

because you moved too much while the phone was in your pocket.

hi buddy,

thats not by accident- the end button is thought to end all kind of connections on tanager. the workaround is

a) enable dial blocking under the security setting (e.g. autamatically key lock after 2 minutes). so you have the keys logged and cant press end by accident.

:) enable the key lock via the on/off switcher, then you are still connected and have the keys locked without having to press the end button.

c) is telling the messenger to login whenever a connection is available- so even if you get disconnected after pressing end it will connect again then...

i hope there's something that helps you...

cheers, lutz

Hey :)

None of the solutions seem to work for me on my Qtek7070.

a) even when its devicelocked the "end" key still disconnects GPRS

:( same thing here as in A, key still avtive

c) I always have GPRS coverage but it doesn't log on to MSN even though the option is selected in MSN passport settings.

There must be some way to separate "disconnect GPRS" and "disconnect voice call" on event keypress:"end"

looks cryptic, i know.. but i couldnt find a better way to explain it :D

perhaps this is something that needs work done by microsoft to be possible at all?

paul? :lol:

To change this you would have to alter the entries on the radio part of the phone. This is not accessable unless you have the correct security access.

i've never seen this option in the registry, i think it's coded into the OS. - sorry
