Fully Working!!! AUTO DATA DISCONNECT after 60 seconds. SAVE BATTERY LIFE!

[mxl180]

--------------------------------------------
DO NOT DO THIS TWEAK... still having an issue.
--------------------------------------------
The following will automatically disconnect DATA connection after 60 seconds. Previous auto disconnect tweaks had issues with receiving calls. This doesn't have the issue.

1. Navigate to HKLM\Comm\CommMgr\Planner\Settings\

2. Delete the following key: "SuspendResume"

3. Add "CacheTime" value of 60 or more (if it didn't already existed)

3. Soft Reset the device

It will Disconnect when idle for 60 seconds. (previous auto disconnect tweaks will NOT allow you to answer while data is on)

Thanks wizkidd04

you can also do this in advanced config and diamond tweak

Advance Config and Diamond Tweak does not fully work for CDMA devices. Test out the problem by turning data on and call your phone. It will ring, but you will not be able to answer.

If you use Advance Config or Diamond Tweak you will be UNABLE TO ANSWER a call while DATA is connected.

I can now answer calls while DATA is ON. It will Disconnect when idle for 60 seconds.

60 is kinda short... I usually look at a web page for more than 60 seconds. Some pages like PPCGeeks take at least 63 seconds to read all the posts.

How much battery does this actually save? I have my email check the server every 30 minutes.Thanks

Virtually none, or it actually makes it worse depending on how often you have things using the internet in the background.

Push email - will never go idle, so no disconnect
Periodic checks, NET LOSS since the startup time to re-connect data is longer, and much more power draw, and now happens every 15, 30, or 60 minutes.

If you only use your data once or twice a day, you might save 1-2% battery in 12 hours. Maybe.

The other issue is caused by advanced config (blows some setting, it's putting a GSM-specific value in) - reg fix is in every "survival guide" I've seen, including the sticky here in this forum.

Bottom line, don't bother. But +1 for the find.

i can tell you from using the setup of having my data connection shut off after 1 min for 2 weeks now, and i had my phone with it on or default for 2 weeks before that. from what i have seen it saves a ton of battery use.

Well, if you actually measure the draw of the connected but idle mode vs not connected, you will see that it is essentially identical. Then measure the draw of re-connecting vs coming out of idle and you will see the draw is much higher, and longer to re-connect then to come out of idle. Net battery loss for anyone who connects often (many times in an hour, for example)

I'm glad it works for you.

Correct if you measure the power draw of connected but idle vs disconnected...there's no difference. BUT try to measure standby connected vs standby disconnected. I dont know how measure this with windows mobile, but I can measure it with PalmOS and there's big difference.
