You'll notice you always have a data connection. Above the reception bars you'll see two arrows, all the time.

my arrows are greyed out until i get a message

Exactly. That means the data connection is still in passive mode. This will drain your battery, though not as fast as a persistent connection.

I am not using Seven, or anything else that will use the data connection and I do not have any arrows.

are the arrows always there? either white or greyed out?

With Windows Live I always have the arrows. Grey means the connection is idle and white means the connection is active. They shouldn't be white all the time.

thats whats i am saying ...how does the seven program drain power?

When you truly aren't doing anything, there will be no arrows. Instead you will have a different icon representing cell strength.

Needless to say, when you see arrows, your battery is draining faster.
