My phone constantly transfers data eating up the battery. I manually turn off data on the comm page. It stays off briefly then begins again. Any ideas?
Try this file, unzip, transfer over, install, open NO GPRS from the programs menu and hit toggle.
That should do it, just hit toggle to re-enable.
This is posted elsewhere, try using search first.
go to activesync, menu->schedule
and set "peak times" and "off-peak times" to "manually"
I once had this when I had an MMS trying to download. Delete the MMS header from your mailbox or specify the network/connection which should be used for downloading MMS.

Check the MMS...
But the big question is... do you have push mail or perhaps a weather program?
Push especially will keep your data connection on as it is constantly polling your email...
The good news is if your are connected it doesn't necessarily mean that you are using data. If you are in a 3G area then an H icon will appear instead of the 3G icon while there is a data transfer...
If you want to stop it alltogether check out MoDaCo's NoData or the GRPS above..
No push email or other data service
I have my personal email on 30 minute retrieve increments other than that I have no other data services. My phone is just on this constant data call although no data is being transferred. This subsequently drains my battery awefully fast.
well, what is exactly the problem? is it that your pda
"is just on this constant data call although no data is being transferred"
or
"constantly transfers data" ?
More details.
The phone is engaged in a constant data call represented by 3G with the left and right arrow, however, no data is actually being transferred. The battery is draining within 8hrs on standby because the high transmit to receive ratio. Although no data is transferred the radio constantly interrogates the cell site thus throwing out unnecessary power. If I manually disengage via the communication manager, the phone will hang up the data call for a brief period, but will reengage fairly quickly. I can't find any settings that would create this situation. I downloaded the program in this post, but the phone still continues the data call. This has never happened on this phone until a month or so after installing the ROM flash with WM6, but I can't be sure if there is a direct correlation with the new flash. Thank you all for your help.

try turning off this 30 min email and make it manual to see if this is the cause...
not sure if u have htchome weather, because it will also auto update every few hours...
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=My Pocket PC keeps connecting to the Internet.
have you checked the activesync schedule time?
furthermore goto commmanager and disable direct push. if your commmanager does not show you the icon to disable direct push, install schaps advanced config and activate there the icon.
i am pretty sure that one of these two options causes the problem.
what other apps have you installed?
if all this does not help, hard reset your device and install/config one app after another.
Same Problem
I've got the same problem. I'm using the default HTC WWE ROM. At random times, sometimes twice a day, my "Rogers Internet" data connection (GPRS, EDGE or 3G) connects automatically and doesn't disconnect. If I catch it happening and click cancel, it tries again. It will not give up until the connection has been established for at least 10 seconds.
I've gone through every program I have, checking to make sure the auto update option is disabled (if there is an auto update). I do not use the direct push and therefore, activesync schedule is greyed out.
Any ideas?
I'm suprised that it drains your battery so quickly. My phone stays connected at least 90% of the day, and I usually have at least 70-80% battery when I get home from work, usually more. The only time that it gets drained quickly is when I'm browsing the web too much on NetFront 3.5...a notorious battery drainer.
Sorry I couldn't help...but maybe it's a battery issue? Since I'm connected so much and have no battery issues? Or maybe a radio change could help you?
I don't have any abnormal battery drain, just weird auto-connect problem.
are you sure you have checked every single program? there has to be something that's trying to connect to the internet to grab data. weather apps, time sync, quickgps (i know, ridiculous, i'm just throwing it out there). try looking at what processes are running in the background using a task manager. that might help you eliminate suspects.
I have Spb GPRS Monitor on my phone. I've been looking at the logs. There is no pattern to the connections and they seem to be never more than 20k connections. I've installed NoGPRS and will use that while I'm sleeping. Just weird that it connects at all.
I had a similar problem, so I installed KaiserTweak and changed the setting to disconnect from 3G after use and that did the trick for me - no more constant connection and the battery stopped heating up and dying quickly.
Hi there,
Does anyone know if it is possible to have the phone turn off the data/3g portion when not used in X amount of minutes? I know for WIFI it is possible but not sure if data/3g is possible?
Also, it seems when i have wifi and data on, the phone would use 3g over the wifi in OPERA or even updating weather in SPB mobile shell. Is this normal? Anyway to make it so WIFI is first priority over 3G?
Thanks
not normal, the phone should use the wifi first then the 3G.
ps. would be cool if an app or registry hack could switch off 3G when not in use.
I get the same issue with the WiFi not being prefered with SPB weather and also a hotmail email account. I was going to play with "NoData" but would be interested if theres a better solution
Couldn't find a better solution, I made sure to turn of HSDPA in the phone settings, change my network to GSM, then use "NoData" because I don't have a data plan. So far no extra charges.
Try the
GB-SOFT GPRS Tweak (EDGE+UMTS+3G) for WM6.1 - HTC Diamond
found in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=407264
I installed it on my Xperia and it worked.
try bandswitch.....
Does turning off/on the data/3g part harm the hardware in any way?
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\ConnMgr\Planner\Settings\
•
SuspendResume = GPRS_bye_if_device_off
•
CacheTime = xxx (where xxx are seconds before auto disconnect, the best value is 60)
after editing registry with this values it should hang up the connection after an specific amount of time without data transferred
Advance config in more setting connection you have the option
I just installed the skype panel on my Xperia trying to use it but as soon as the skype logs in, the data connection disconnects. Any ideas?
I have this option set in my registry to make sure it disconnects when I'm not using it.
CacheTime = 30
SuspendResume:
Code:
~GPRS! :- 3G always On
GPRS_bye_if_device_off :- timeout after CacheTime
I'll try setting my CacheTime a little longer but I want it to still autodisconnect after i finish with other stuff.
Also, my GPRS connection seems to only connect and receive email as I wake the device, I don't know if it's just that I always happen to turn it on exactly at that time. :S
Ideas?
before you say to search i have done a bit...
I've seen the reg tweak but that doesn't work with twitter or weather updating, I've seen an app or two that will disconnect data usage after idol time except they weren't free.
so are thee any apps that will close data connection when it is idle which is also free

WMLongLife - or something like that - try to search it. Few trys with configuration and works perfect.
just for you information, i had to disable facebook auto updates every 2 hours to get Dial-up enablerDisabler to work with my 2 mins turn off for data.
Settings > Data services > facebook set data sync untick the box to auto update.
I found without doing this i would still find my HD2 connected for 4 hours continous and i could not understand why when i had set the auto disconnect.
hi, i have a Froyo HTC Desire there's a couple of thing I want to know.
I usually have a lot of correspondence via email (especially multiple gmail accounts) and i use my phone primarily when at home or on the go.
i set autosync and background data enabled all the time and set to update on very little intervals.
next, at work, i'll be relocated to a spot in the office that doesn't get any 3g/2g reception at all. and since i can access my mail through PC, i'm planning to just switch my phone to Flight mode while on my desk.
now my question. i've read a hundred times that Autosync eats a lot of jiuce. IF I put my phone in flight mode, and have no active connections or means to connect to any network, will Autosync still persist on connecting / syncing and drain my battery? or do i also have to manually turn background sync and autosync off?
if yes, is there an app that will disable Autosync persistence if flightmode is on or wifi/APN is off?
thanks in advance

Hi,
If I understand correctly you want to switch off any data communication of your phone.
I use a combination :
Sync Settings Version 1.0 - Free App
It places on your desktop a widget with 4 options.
wifi - on\off
Blu Tooth - on\off
Gps - on\off
Sync - Enable ..lets apps sync (incl Gmail.) Disable it disallows.
Brightness - quick controll over screen brightness
The second App I use is the DCSwitch - Free App
Creator described it best:
Code:
DCSwitch turns your data channel on/off to save battery power and/or bytes on a limited data plan.
Similar apps mangle the APN list of your phone, potentially leaving it with corrupt entries.
DCSwitch uses android's undocumented services to enable/disable the data connection in a clean, mean and concise manner.
With usig both of this apps ive been able to boost my battery life Alot. Also save some money on traffic.
Hope this helps you.
rgrds!
