gprs auto disconnect on wm6.5

anyone knows how it's possible to get the gprs connection automatically closed after X secs/mins?
I've already tried this one:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\ConnMgr\Planner\Settings\
SuspendResume = GPRS_bye_if_device_off
CacheTime = xxx (where xxx are seconds before auto disconnect, for me the best value is 60)
and this one:
http://www.gb-soft.cz/xdaii/product_gprs-umts_tweak_wm61_diamond.htm
but no success...
there are only solutions for wm5 and wm6...but not for wm6.5....
any ideas?
tnx.

I've tried this Reghack on my Xperia R3AA 6.1 ROM, but it doesn't seem like I have success either. I'm trying to figure it out, because when I initiate the connection myself, it seems to disconnect properly, but if another program opens the connection while in standby, it seems to always stay open.
This issue started happening for me after installing S2U2 v2.01, which seems to keep the device from entering TRUE standby mode (power savings, not just screen off). A_C is aware as I PM'ed him, because this never used to happen with S2U2 prior to the recently released v2.
I'm still trying to test, but this problem is usually related to some background process keeping the CPU going, so your device uptime never pauses (check with AE Button+, Uptime). I feel like I'm so close to getting the *perfect* setup on my phone, but this battery issue is the one thing holding me back right now...

I can confirm the s2u2 issue, so for the moment I think I'll try to get back to v1...

I've the same issue with wm6.5 slide to unlock screen...
without any screen locker the automatic disconnection seems to work fine.
now I try with s2u2 v1

I don't use S2U2 or the default Windows Lock screen, yet my data connection stays open all the time.
The best solution I came up with was this:
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\Phone]
"Flags2"=dword:A
That disabled the data connection while pressing END on the homescreen. Saves time instead of launching the connection managers to end it.
It's annoying and has to eat battery.

Is there any auto solution of disconnecting on WM6.5?
I did not find any yet :/

still nothing?

use de free bandswitch 1.2.any...
it´s great program.

I have a solution that works for me:
HKLM\Comm\ConnMgr\Planner\Settings\
SuspendResume = just delete everything, leave it blank
CacheTime = xxx (where xxx are seconds before auto disconnect, for me the best value is 60)
Restart your phone.
I hope it will work for everybody!
PS. I have a GSmart S1205

Data Disconnects in Sleep

Well it's been an eventful month
Lost old faithful (700wx), bought an 800w just returned it due to keyboard issues, got a treo pro this morning.
Got my pro activated this morning, which seems to be very nice.
But of course things were going too well... lol
I have an IM app that I keep running along with some email apps.
They maintain a connection and notify me about messages.
As soon as the screen turns off, the data cuts out and doesn't kick in again until I turn the phone back on.
I tried Wifi the same thing happens.
Does anyone know how to get around this?
________________________________
Another related topic. The programs in question normally run in the background. When I hit the "X" they should keep running in the background like they did on my other two treo's. On this guy when I hit that X on either app it completely exits.
Is this some kind of OS configuration I need to change?
Thanks,
Kenny

Well I figured out the "X"
Still can't get the data connection to stay on though

Well I found diamond tweak that always keeps the connection on so that'll work.

Can you share the reg change plz? I'd like to do the same while slinging wifi

There is a program called "advance configuration tool" that has a setting to keep wifi on while the screen turns off. Download it and give it a try, the setting is kind of hidden, once you install go to the bottom right softkey and seach for it there. I do not remember exactly where it is but you could google it and you will surely find it.

That works with Wifi connection, should works with dataconnection
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Power\State\Suspend\{98C5250D-C29A-4985-AE5F-AFE5367E5006}
-change (Default) DWORD Dec to 1
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Power\State\Resuming\{98C5250D-C29A-4985-AE5F-AFE5367E5006}
-change (Default) DWORD Dec to 1
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Power\State\Unattended\{98C5250D-C29A-4985-AE5F-AFE5367E5006}
-change (Default) DWORD Dec to 1

^^ Awesome thanks for posting the individual reg changes!
I don't use Advance Config Tool because it messes with some of my reg changes I made so everytime I open/close ACT it changes some stuff and I have to go back and reset them in the reg...

I have the problem that the device does not check my email account. Do I understand it correctly, that no data sessions are active in sleep mode? No GPRS (or above)?!
What's that for a config? You buy a phone where you can set up your mail account to check every 10 minutes your email account but in 99% of the time the phone is in sleep mode and therefore does not check mails...?!
Please say that's not the reason for my problem...

Would these work to keep the GPS alive when I lock the keyboard. I want to turn on GPSTuner and toss the Treo Pro in my pocket. So far my choices are a) leave it unlocked and risk making an unintended call from the trail or b) locking the device using "keylock" and then the GPS shuts down so the GPS does not record my hike.
Is there a way to keep the GPS alive while Keylock is engaged?

The three registry changes did not keep the GPS active when Keyguard was engaged. Shucks. So again...
Is there any way to keep the GPS alive while Keylock is engaged? Thanks.

Is this a problem with all treo pro devices?! Also flexmail does not check mails regularly... The programm is also configured not to close while pushing X...
This is really a really big bug... This phone is almost not usable...

I noticed this article regardin setting up an email account:
http://kb.palm.com/wps/portal/kb/common/article/32429_en.html
Last sentence is:
IMPORTANT: The device power-off timer is reset each time you synchronize. If your sync interval is shorter than the power-off interval, your smartphone doesn't turn off.
If I do understand it correctly that means: power of = no email checking...
this works at any damn phone... such a "feature" is really inappropriate.

No. Let me give you an example. Let's say your phone is set to blank out in 5 minutes. You set your email sync time to 4 minutes. After 4 minutes, your phone polls for new mail. At the same time, the phone resets the power down timer for another 5 minutes. So, by the phone continually resetting the power off for one minute longer than the mail sync time, it never powers down. And, because of that, drains the battery quicker. They're not telling you this is a "feature". They're warning you that this setup is a battery drainer -- better to lose some automatic mail syncing than lose phone power before the end of the day.

Hello kraski,
I think you mistaken me a little.
Problem is in one sentence summarized: scheduled Mail receiving does not work with Palm Treo unless you make above written steps to prevent the phone from going to standby, (most) other WM phones receive mails while in standby...
-> Where is the point to make such a "feature"? In standby the phone also receives phone calls! And SMS... And such an internet phone has to check mails also in standby, w/o discussion or not?!

terminate data connection on device sleep?

Is there any way to kill data connection when the device goes to sleep or you hit the sleep button?
Too much of a battery hit?
Any advice appreciated!
Thanks,
wab

Anyone? It would really make my day! Cheers.

Me too! So need auto disconnect.

+1 here, big battery drain

data battery drain
This was not an issue for me on my HD, while a lot of people felt it was an issue for them.
Battery drain was not noticably more with data on to data off.
I did use an email scheduler on my HD, as I had MSVC set to announce new msgs and didn't want to be woken at night.
Google Gudensoft email scheduler.
No guarantee it will work on the HD2.

I think phonealarm has this functionality

Cheers David

Thanks davwil. Although I was hoping for a free solution. Don't want to have to pay 18.50 for this basic function..
Any other experienced winmo users care to help?
Thanks!

surely theres a reg entry to enable this... need 2 know!

Hello,
replace on registry at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\ConnMgr\Planner\Settings\
SuspendResume = GPRS_bye_if_device_off
CacheTime = xxx (where xxx are seconds before auto disconnect)
Try at first CacheTime = 10 so you can test the "function".
I'm using this, that DON'T suspend at sleep, but disable data after usage.

Hey Guys,
I just tried the reg tweak, it works perfectly whilst the phone is on... however, as soon as there is an event that triggers the connection when the phone is in sleep mode it just stays connected. In my case, if the phone syncs with my hotmail account when i am using the device it disconnects perfectly .. not so much when it was sleeping!
Can u think of any other way to solve this??
I've been trying some other tweaks and cabs .. nodatainroaming.cab and the cristoff diamond tweak utility .. but they all have the same problem ..
if anyone knows a way around this .. please let me know.

I've googled around with no solution, till now, for this "issue".

I've been experiencing this issue too. The reg edit works fine when the phone is being used but when locked etc the data connection stays alive.

[Q] [SOLVED] Wlan always enabled?

Hey guys,
did anyone notice, that after rooting and/or installing the google apps, the wlan is always enabled, even when you turn off the screen?
This is pretty annoying to me, because the battery usage is much higher.
With wlan disabled the kindle battery usage is pretty low. It uses near to no power while in standby but when the google apps are installed (and therefor wlan is always enable) i loose up to 10 - 20% battery over night.
Is there anything i can do about this? Is there a way to figure out what exactly keeps the wlan from shutting down?
Thx

You happen to find anything else about this? First I saw of it.

This is actually a good thing in my opinion...

Hey again,
teookie, yes i know, to one its a bug to the other a feature but i prefer the old behavior and save some battery.
And finally i found the root of my evil.
An unknown app changed the wifi sleep settings. Sadly amazon removed this option from the settings dialog so you have to change it by hand in the settings.db .
Have a look here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=19676566#post19676566
In step 16. change the value to "0".
You can also change the value "wifi_idle_ms" (in the "secure" folder) to something lower e.g. "5000" (5 seconds), to disable wifi even faster.
Now everything works like before, the only missing thing is the app that changed it.

turn wifi off while sleeping or juice defender

*I have bluetooth,nfc,gps turned off all the time just to be clear*
Do you think there is a difference between using the juice defender app and turning in the setting that says keep wifi on while sleeping:never ??
As in do you think one is better than the other ? Does one save more battery life than the other? etc

Don't use juice defender. The more crap you have running (software wise) the worse the battery. period.

Except that the wifi setting to turn off never works, or sporadically works. Try it yourself, set it to turn off and then check its IP every so often with pings, it'll respond.
I don't use JD, but I currently use Green Power, but I'm just going to go back to doing it in Tasker as I don't need it to sync periodically. As said, one less app that way, since I'm already running Tasker.

I tried using tasker and I couldn't figure it out

Check out the free app called llama. I have it set to turn on airplane mode when the screen is off for 5 minutes and disable it when the screen turns on.

I'll type out what I have. It turns off wifi if it's on, turns it on if it was on when going off. ie: If you have wifi off intentionally, it won't turn it back on. I also have it NOT turn off wifi if it's plugged in, listed as optional below.
Note that the %WIFI variable you can either type it in (all caps) or use the button to list all variables, it'll be at the end, Wifi Status.
If you still can't get it, I can export them.. heh.
To turn wifi off:
Add profile, set it for State->Display->Display State is off, and optionally, long-press on the Display Off you just created and click Add and select State->Power->Power->Any
Add Task, name it Wifi Off or whatever
Stop - if %WIFI (matches) off
Variable Set - %wifiStatus to %WIFI
If - %wifiStatus (matches) on
...Wifi - Set Off
End If
To turn wifi back on:
Add profile, set it for State->Display->Display State is on
Add task, name it Wifi On or whatever
Stop - if %WIFI (matches) on
If - %wifiStatus (matches) on
...Flash - Turning Wifi on...
...Wifi - Set On
Else
...Flash - Leaving wifi off..
End If
