For me it completely DISCONNECTS and return to EVDO signal.

It isn't suppose to improve the time... its normal for 2-3 rings before call goes through. Previous Auto Disconnect DATA tweaks cause an issue where it would ring but you couldn't answer. With this tweak you are able to answer.

i was on evdo, i am using the new diamond s2a and it got stuck on the green answer slide like it used to with the other method i used. so i gained nor lost anything.

so the first post should be edited saying, it works if u have the old style dialer and not s2a. someone claimed it worked with the old one, but seems it doesnt work with s2a as it hangs on answer when someone calls.

hmm your right.. I can't answer anymore

you should be able to still answer just not while your data is being used I.E. using the interenet

So has anyone found a fix for this that allows you to answer the phone during an active data transfer and yet still disconnects after 60 seconds? Sure, there's supposed to be a "fix" that allows voice and data simultaneously, but we'll see if that comes out Friday or not...

The Keepalive on these phones do not eat hardly any battery,,, the phone is not constantly connected to the network for data,,

what it does is when it connects it sends a syn,, the network replies with an ack,, then a syn/ack agreement is made,, the device is assigned an ip address,, that address is cached in the network along with the mac address, esn, and phone number of the phone,, the phone will set idle and basically hang up the connection,, every so often the phone will beacon,,, ie, send a syn packet to the server,, the server will in response update the ip cache it has stored and then the connection goes dormant/standby again,,

basically what Im saying is that even if data stays on all day you are looking at a small percentage compared to not on,,,

I paused all my email yesterday,, and left data off all day saturday,,, and from 8 am to 4 pm i had 38% battery left,,, with my normal calling that I do,,
today I turned my email back on left data on all day,,, from 8 am to 4 pm I had 40% battery left,, granted I think I made a couple less calls than yesterday,,, but basically if data was sucking down my phone like a call would then I would have been much much lower percentage than that after turning the data back on...

so dont sweat it too much
