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

I read the links, and it doesn't seem like there is enough evidence that the tools or tweaks are the cause. I would imagine the 1-minute data timeout would help since it will make sure that the data connection is closed. At the same time, it would be a pain to wait for re-connect each time you want to get to the internet.

I also noticed that, on initial start (off of a fresh boot) of PIE, upon loading a new web page, PIE will hang for many seconds before screen control returns or screen is refreshed.
As I mentioned before, my data connection has not been turning off. 2 hours ago, I marked the setting in GPS Today that I mentioned. Just turned the device back on from standby and the connection has turned off. The time appears to be at least one hour of no activity before it shuts off. In my case it was GPS Today. Also, an incoming call will turn off the data connection. Something is running on your device that needs the data connection from time to time. You have looked at RSS Hub?

On a related note, I have been monitoring battery drain when the data connection is on. So far, no measurable effect as long as the connection is dormant.
