I am confused a bit by this. If I am browsing the internet and I get a phone call, it always works for me. The phone call comes through and then when I am done I get right back on the internet....am I missing something here?

There was a tweak that would disconnect the data connection if it was not active for a period of time. This tweak had a problem where if the data connection was active (white arrows instead of gray) and a call came in you could not answer the phone. It happened to me. I have just been leaving the connection open. It doesnt seem to eat the battery up too much. But I do wonder how much battery I would save disconnecting after every email check. Anyone?

Ah, now I see what people may be aiming for. If it can reliably be done and does actually save some juice it may be worthwhile, but I'm not volunteering to be a guinea pig for it....

Then I think you're that rare contented TP user and should leave well enough alone

the OLD auto data disconnect tweak wouldn't allow you to answer or take 5+ rings to answer while data was on
