Also, couldn't the battery numbers be affected also by radio?? i.e I roam ALOT with my current radio, even around home so I am sure the constant searching for signal is also affecting my drain significantly.
I fully appreciate what ahuskins figured out. I kept thinking last night that my battery was draining faster as I surfed the net and the data kept connecting and disconnecting. Wasn't smart enough to check the fantstic battery ap NRG gave us to use! But as I mentioned my signal strength at home is about 1 bar, 2 tops, sometimes none so I am not sure if that could also affect anything. I'm so glad he figured this issue out I am ready to bury it with AVG or whatever the heck it is!
Anyways THANKS to ahuskins, great find!!! D>  |

Edit:
HKLM>Comm>ConnMgr/Planner/Settings/suspendresume
The edits made with this program seem to stick but just to be sure wait a few and soft reset.

Hey guys, thanks for the thanks! Some notes to all:
Setting the SuspendResume Dword to "~GPRS!" worked for a while, not effecting the Tachi Dialer but ultimately it will start having a hard time answering calls. It did for me during testing.
To fix just set the SuspendResume to "#777".
Once again, the idle data connection draws no current so, everyone just set that reg to #777 and be done with it.
As for those of you who have low signal reception much of the time; The radio searching for better signal WILL increase your current draw, but it's NOT the data connection. Don't know if there is anything that can be done to reduce this but it's worth investigation.
Good morning!
Edit: On the signal strength front. Do any of you who experience this have roaming enabled? My thoughts are that if your plan has free roaming and you can get a better signal doing so, why not try it? I guess this is all you coud do if you have tried a different radio. Which for many has produced better results.
