The way I'm reading it, when I see the dual arrows going in opposite directions where the signal strength meter is, it seems to be connected. I could get a day no problem on my battery (12-18 hours) whereas now I barely make it to dinner time before having to plug in. If someone know how to make the Verizon data connection disconnect after a timeout, please help. Remember, there are issues with dialing 911 as well. A big concern. I wonder if the dual *228 mentioned at the beginning of the post will help that.

I loaded a dialer found on PDAPhoneHome from Paul Hammons
http://pdaphonehome.com/forums/ppc-6...heme-here.html; download the file called Mogul Big button Dialer.zip. It's a great looking dialer and the data connection dual arrows are white when a data connection is active and shaded when inactive. I don't know if the default dialer is actually keeping the data connection active, but at least this is worth a shot!
I know it's been mentioned several times, but making sure the "Beam" setting in Comm Manager is not active will significantly improve battery life.
