not sure if this will help but...

before i turned weatherpanel and RSS to manual updating, i noticed that sometimes the data connection would stay open for no reason after the update occurred. and when trying to turn off the data manually via comm manager would just cause it to hang in mid air/color spin wheel. (i.e. i guess the comm "application" froze so thus i couldnt get back into it. altho it should be noted that when i used airplane mode to end the connection that seemed to work/no freezing app.)

like i said before, not sure if it was WP or RSS (or maybe neither, could have been a sub-routine or something that one of those apps uses) but turning them to manual did the trick. no more hanging/needlessly open data connections.
