Did you add a dialer?

Or he could have an app like something chking email or updating weather or trying to keep an IM connection alive.

Or you could simply use Advanced Config and uncheck "GPRS Always On".

yes i have add a dialer and have notice mine is staying on also i have to shut it off by going into the comm manager why is this and is there a fix?

Re: data connection always on
 

Why would a dialer need a data connection? What other apps do you have on your device that needs data or do updates of a some sort?

Some of the dialers "break" the icon that shows your data connection. So, it will give the appearance that it's always on.

Interesting. But to check that you could simply try to surf and see if it IS on or if it will try to dial out and connect which would let you know it really wasnt on right?

If he has closed the data connection, the antenna symbol will change to the arrows, but the arrows will stay white (active ) and not turn gray ( idle ) like when there is not data transfering.

Since the arrows are white all the time it looks like the connection is active, which is probably isn't. Battery life is the determining factor.
