Issue: Data arrows constantly on

fdtech · #1 (**permalink**) 11-01-2008, 02:28 PM

Hey all,

So im having a bit of an issue with my Touch Pro. It seems after awhile my data connection seems like its constantly transferring. I'll go into Opera and it will give me an error message saying to check the connection. A soft reset clears up the prob but obviously I dont want to have to do that a few times a day.

I dont have much installed on it at all. Anyone else running into this issue at all?

I don't run into the opera issue but my data connection was on all time time when I had weather panel on auto-update. That option was disabled and helped the situation but I found it on again today.

I use comm manager to disable it everytime I find it running.

Same problem as the OP. I even made a post about it.

try updating your profile from the programs list then soft reset. Also did you install a custom phone skin because that can break the data arrows somtimes? If you tried the first thing and it doesn't work then go into connection settings and delete the connection to sprint and remake it.

One thing im also trying to see if it helps is in section 6.1 of DiamondTweak im setting the Disconnect After time to minute. Currently monitoring it to see if it helps....so far so good.

The only skin-like thing im runnn is Spb Shell....does that count?

Are the arrows active or are they greyed? Because they do NOT use any battery if it is greyed out [inactive]. It actually takes MORE battery to disconnect and connect every time. However, if they are moving and active, there is probably a program constantly connecting to a server.

I am having the same issue. Is there a way to see what program is using the data connection?
Thanks

Changing the dialer skin can cause this problem - programs like PocketShield with the skinned dialer will cause the data arrows to stay bright even when there's no traffic.

AdvancedConfig has an option to change the dialer skin back to normal and fixes the connection arrows.

Be careful with this because using this tweak then makes the delay phone answer situation (with tf3d dialer). Then you have to use the reg edit #777 or shaggy's cab found in the Delay Answer Fix discussion on Diamond forum.

So if you're having trouble answering your phone when you have the data arrows this is why.... if not then no worries..
