Here's a registry tweek that works very well. It stops the data connection after 60 seconds (or what ever duration you desire).

To Stop Data Connection
go to : HKLM\Comm\ConnMgr\Planner\Settings
delete the "SuspendResume" line
add a new line called "SuspendResume"
select the type to be String
value of the key set to "GPRS_bye_if_device_off" (without quotes)
select key name CacheTime
change the key value to 60 (for 60 seconds before disconnect)

Extract the zip, copy over the cab, and install.

that sounds fishy. those sale reps get paid for how much stuff they can sell to you.

But I do use this little trick that prevents unnecessary connections. All you have to do is set up a password for your CDMA connection, then when your phone wants to connect it will prompt you for your password. I left all the fields blank, so that all you have to choose is "OK" to connect or "Cancel" to dismiss the request. It will not connect until you make a choice. To do so, follow these steps:

Start
Settings
Connections Tab - Connections
select "Manage Existing Connections"
Select your Data connection (it has number #777) - Then hit EDIT
Click Next past the screen "enter a name for the connection"
Click Next past the screen "Enter the number exactly as it should be....."
You will now come to the screen to set a User name and password.
*Leave all fields Blank" - (or fill them in if you want to, I prefer blank)
Click Finish - You are Done!!

Now whenever your phone seeks to make a connection it will prompt you for your username and password. Assuming you have left/set the fields blank, then all you have to do is make the choice between "OK" to connect, or "Cancel" to dismiss

i dont see a manage existing connections under my connection tab.

i know on the Sprint Mogul, if you go into the registry under HKEY_CURRENT_USER, go to ControlPanel, then PhoneExtendFunction then CDMA, and in the CDMA folder find FlightModeSwitchByPnHEndKey and change the value from 1 to 0 it will allow you to hold the "end call" button for 3 seconds to shut off the data connection. if you hold the end key for 5 seconds it'll put the phone into Flight mode, at which point you can press the end call button for another couple of seconds and the phone connection comes back on.

It says for WM5, but you know how that goes...some 5 run on 6 and vice versa....this programs works great on my 67 saw this on another thread...even if it is for GPRS it still works for CDMA, maybe it will work for the 68 as well.

I've been using PocketToolman, it has a toggle for data connection that actually works, unlike the communication manager. Works pretty well.
