Internet connection always on, draining battery

[Skywarp]

I think my internet connection is always on and may be draining my battery.
Is there a way to deactivate the constant internet connection?

Its going dormant and not ACTUALLY connected all the time. The counter may say its been connected for 8-10 hrs, but most of the time its dormant and not having a significant effect on battery.

Here you go my friends this .cab disconnects your data after 60 seconds of not being used. It's help me out ALOT, i tend to forget to lock my phone so my screen is always going on the web, which drains battery life and this .cab disconnects my data after 1 minute of me not useing data.

dont use that cab man! if u use that ur fone will have a problem disconnecting from the internet to receive a phone call! it causes the phone dialer's answer/ignore slider to become very laggy (5-10 secs) so by the time the phone responds the caller has hung up or been sent to voicemail...

i have played around with the actual reg edits that this cab makes and i couldnt get anything to solve the dialer problem. the problem is the edit changes the SuspendResume string in the registry. the stock string data is set to #777 for sprint, which is the number that is dialed anytime sprint data is used. it seems that if you change this, the phone loses the ability to properly disconnect from the internet to accept a call... ive tried all sorts of things and that dialer will not work rite unless SuspendResume is set to #777.

If anyone finds a fix to that problem I'd love to hear it. I was using the cab prior to 6.5 and I loved the fact that it would turn my internet off. However, the problems answering phone calls/laggy slider was unbearable. Thankfully I upgraded to 6.5 and forgot where the cab was located.

that does the same thing as the cab file does. I don't know. I haven't had any problems with the disconnect cab. running a custom 6.5.3 ROM.

So is that cab basically opposite of Shaggy's suspendresume cab? It appears that Shaggy's cab gets phone calls through right away but keeps the data connection alive and the cab in this post kills the data connection after 60 seconds but often keeps calls from getting through cleanly.

I guess I'll let the data connection stay alive. It doesnt' really eat that much battery.
