The device has been in standby for the last 6 hours or so, since my last post. Upon turning it on, the arrows are gone. So the data connection did go off, but no telling how long it took. I will keep a closer eye on this.

Just a heads up. I did a hard reset yesterday because when the data connection was on (active or dormant), I could not answer a call without an extended delay. The same problem was reported by Touch users a couple of months ago and they attributed the cause to Advanced Config. Some in this thread blamed Diamond Tweak. Posters in both threads suggested that only a hard reset solved their problem. I changed all of the registry settings back to default without success. A hard reset was the solution.

So I will not be re-installing Advanced Config or Diamond Tweaks for a while and I will be monitoring the data connection. I hate to blame useful software like Advanced Config or Diamond Tweaks, but one or more of their registry settings could have caused my call-answering problem. Time will tell.
