GPRS

When I make a GPRS connection it never disconnects, if I browse a web page and then close IE and all other running apps the GPRS connection stays alive. I have to either hold the red button to disconnect to soft reset, Is there any way to get to to auto disconnect after a set time or is it supposed to do this and mine is just faulty.
It also happens with MMS, I send an MMS and it sends fine, but the GPRS connection stays on. You do not see the connection listed with'in the connections list, but you do have the arrows at the top to tell you your on a GRPS connection. If I make another GPRS call to the ISP then it hangs up the MMS connection and makes the connection to the ISP etc...
There is no option with'in the connection bubble to disconnect yet I have this option on my XDA1 which was updated to PPC2003. I can manually disconnect sessions using a disconnect option. But not on my new O2 XDAII running the latest ROM from O2.

To disconet manuley just tap and hold the o2 ikon then untick your conection. as to the timeout it is in there somewhere but i carnt rember off hand

Have you tried GB-Soft Tweak? It has settings to disconnect GPRS after a specified amount of inactive time.
My problem is somewhat different: When I use GPRS settings WITHOUT a proxy assigned, there is the bubble of GPRS connecting (with cancel) and when connected (in conjunction with GB Soft Tweak), there is a disconnect button.
But when I assign a proxy setting to the GPRS, these buttons disappears. In fact EVEN if it is connected to GPRS, when I tap on the radio icon, it stays in the state displaying as not connected (meaning there's STILL an option to connect to GPRS even if i'm already connected)
the only way to disconnect is the press and hold red button OR to use the disconnect button of my GPRS monitor (SPB)
I dunno if this is connected to GB Soft Tweak, or a bug in the OS on handling the radio.

force GPRS/3G connection

Can anyone tell me how i can force a GPRS/3G connection. At present i am using Thunderhawk II to browse the internet from my M5000 but this application does not automatically open an internet connection using GPRS/3G when i am not using WiFi. I have to open PIE first before the device will connect to the internet and then open Thunderhawk. This is a pain. Any advice? Can anyone create a little Today app to do this?

......and unlike PPC 2003, WM5 does not allow you to open a data connection by tapping on the 'G' or 'U' symbols at the top of the screen. Why not??????

go into connections and locate the connection settings you are looking for, press and hold, tap connect.

Thanks for the reply but going through the following routine everytime i need to browse is hardly convenient:
Start
Settings
Connections
Connections
Orange World: Manage existing connections
Orange GPRS Internet
Connect
Is there no way of achieving this from the Today screen?

nope
connections, or use PIE as you have indicated.

Try PhoneAlarm to force GPRS connection
I seem to recall that PhoneAlarm has a route to forcing GPRS to connect. Certainly works with my Universal. It's not always shown on the available skins, but if I use HGS6VGA CAR skin file GPRS connection is forced by clicking on one of the displayed icons. Not sure of the code this icon click invokes, but it does launch GPRS on my device.

Internet connection issue

i use my touch to surf the web alot. once in awhile, i cannot get a web page to open. it stays saying opening... if i go to comm manager and hit data connection to turn it off and then retry the web page, it forces the data connection to restart (dial 777) and everything is fine again. anyone else have this problem? is there a way to force the data connection to close when you close the browser?

internet connection automatically closed?

Hello everyone,
if internet explorer is started and a website is required, the connection manager dials my isp by phone. that´s ok.
but what I would like to know is when does the connection manager close the connection? Or does it stay online until ISP closes connection?

the connection is more then 1 thing
there is the genral connection
and a socket connection the socket connection will live as long as ie
the general connection will live as long as the phone have network connection to the isp
and the user dont disable gprs/edge/3g themselfs
which is why the charge pr MB rather then by minuts

so if the user doesn´t close the connection, the connection will live as maximal possible ... uuuuuhhh
is there a way to close the connection by a program without user pushing a button?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Press the "Call End" button and you should hear a beep, that closes the GPRS connection. You may have to press and hold the button.
Unless you set the registry key for continuous connection to GPRS.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\ConnMgr\Providers\{7C4B7A3 8-5FF7-4bc1-80F6-5DA7870BB1AA}\Connections\(GPRS connection name)\AlwaysOn
change the "0" to "1" and reset.

What about setting a HW button to start Comm manager
I´ve heard, with SKTools you can add a disconnect button to the connection-balloontip even in the trial mode.

use NO DATA. its a small app try to search it

Hi
You can get the disconnect button and timer back as follows:
HKLM\ControlPanel\Phone
create new dword value "Flags2"
value=8 show disconnect button
value=16 show disconnect button and connection time
NoData will completely disable your data connections so the phone cant connect (handy when abroard): http://www.modaco.com/content/pocket-pc-software/246171/new-free-utility-nodata/

I thought NODATA is for permanently setting GPRS off?
