Re: #777 undoing the data disconnect hack :/

Question: Everyone is wanting to disable/turn off their data connection to SAVE BATTERY, correct?
Did anyone do any testing on actual device battery amperage draw with the suspendresume set to #777?

I have in the past. Here's the deal, the arrows which show data connectivity lie to you.
If you set the SuspendResume to #777 and the CacheTime to 60 the phone will do exactly what you are telling it to do. Disconnect data after 60 seconds of inactivity. What I did during testing was to monitor the current draw after the data disconnected using #777 (arrows still showing) and the amperage draw after data disconnect using other means (regedits) with the data arrows not shown.
The results were exactly the same. The #777 does it's job and quite well it just doesn't turn off the data arrows. It also doesn't screw with answering the phone.
Using advanced config to modify anything dealing with disconnecting the data will have some negative effect on answering the phone.

My device currently draws about 57mAps when on, with no apps running and the backlight dimmed using normal settings with the data connection arrows showing. This is the same that I got with my TP. Pretty darn good.
