Re: Does your data EVER turn off by itself/timeout (as it should)?

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.
Cappy thanks. I wonder if it is the very data connection timeout setting that is causing the problem. Is the problem consistent or intermittent? I wish these tweak tools tell us exactly where in the registry the changes are made. I have both apps installed since previous versions and have not had any problems.

Will you please point me to the thread that discusses the extended delay in call answer? Thanks again.


@Lylej2k & Success100, I've had Advanced Config and Diamond Tweak. The settings work if the phone is truly not connecting between the last access and through the timeout duration. For example, if I set the timeout to 3 minutes--sometimes, within those three minutes, the arrows will go solid even though I have no known app or process running that would cause that, which in turn will cause another delay of 3 minutes. I was curious what was causing that...
