I think you guys are misunderstanding the meaning of "active."

Yes, the data connection will stay ALIVE unless you manually disconnect it. This does not apply only to MDP but any time you connect via #777.

ACTIVE means that it is actually transmitting or receiving data. Normally this is indicated by white arrows, but a bug in the dialer skin causes it to display white arrows regardless of the status.

Comm Manager will only show you when data is ALIVE, not whether it is ACTIVE.

Again, data always stays ALIVE once activated unless you manually disconnect it. That is not a bug or feature caused by this ROM. It happens in all ROMs.
