Comm Manager? Just because it's connected, doesn't mean that data is being sent, which is what would drain your battery. If you are seeing the connection arrown, that's standard wm6.5 taskbar icon behavior.

Thats the thing, when i look into Comm Manager, it is highlited and on. I do see the arrows and other Roms i have used when not in connection there were no arrows, are u saying ur Rom is different (just so i am understanding correctly) Also, i have nothing added or running and my battery has dropped 20% in an hour. I could be wrong but to me it seems that the connection is on and open but i cant see what for, as soon as i soft reboot or disconnect the data it comes right back on. Any ideas?

I don't have any issue with data turning back on, unless my device is checking for email or something. Maybe something you installed or a weather or push internet setting you enabled.

The one thing that may be different about my rom, is that I don't use the CDMA_RSSI dll so that I can get the nice signal bars in the taskbar. That does cause the lit arrows when data connected however. That doesn't mean data is sending nesessarly though.

Hmm, I dunno -- I haven't had one single reboot on any build of this rom ever.

This TellMe app is pretty cool. Works good for texting while driving.

Man, I've only had this ROM flashed for about 15 minutes, and it looks great. I flashed back to bone stock Sprint 6.1 ROM first (almost forgot how lame that was). Can't wait to use all the cool extras, if I could just get it to stop powering off every time I try to run Microsoft MyPhone! I'm going to have to turn off the auto sync, if I can't get this worked out. Anyone else have a cure for the shutting off by itself while running this, or another program? Oh, yeah, and that TellMe, GREAT addition!

Is there a way to map the press and hold of the end key to another function, i.e. file manager, SMS, screen rotation, TellMe, etc? Some ROMs give us the option to change multiple hardware key long-presses, but I've also seen a long press of the end key automatically over ridden by the system's function for airplane/vibrate/etc. mode.

I really want to love this ROM, but I just had to reset from a frozen screen. (and I have fat fingers, so the 6.5.1 fatty buttons at the bottom of the screen are missed)

Please don't take this as a downer, I have a huge appreciation for everyone who spends the time to make all these ROMs we keep flashing between!
