Try out advanced config linked below, it makes regedits easy to use plus it has an option to kill the connection after a certain amount of time. Run the app n u can find the option under menu>more settings> connection

That said, if you want a timeout, its as simple as a registry edit. I've taken the liberty of making two cabs to do it for you.

One for 1 minute timeout when idle, one will timeout after 3 minutes. If you have any apps keeping the connection active, like a browser, it will not disconnect.

will this time out for things like gps software?

i would like to use it, but i use other software that like to use the data connection like igo 8, garmin, or google maps...

also, is there a way to turn this off if it doesnt work like that or would i have to edit the registry?

where is the registry to change settings for this? i would like to add more time to the 3 minutes and sometimes disable it.

I hate to ask a stupid question but I use gmail (pop) and I have it go and get my email every 5min and sometimes 10min. If I use this to shut of the connection after 1 or 3 min will that interfere with my email?

Here is maybe another stupid question, I have a telus Omnia i910, I cannot find anywhere where I can turn off data connection manually.

Any suggestions.

on mine at the top, there are arrows that when you click, brings up connections. if the data connection is on, it should have an option to disconnect.

if it is not connected, it will have just my signal power beside a 1x...

no... your email will turn on the connection... then in 3 minutes, as long as it stayed idol, it will turn off after 3 minutes... if it uses the connection within the 3 minute window, then the 3 minutes has to start over.

Did you hear that 3 minutes?

yea, you'll have to start over!

[jester2043]

Thank you..but just to be sure it's 3min right?

[jester2043]

I want to remove this can someone please tell me where the registry is?

[Adrynalyne]

You need a registry editor.

PHM is free.

Its located at
HKLM\Comm\ConnMgr\Planner\Settings\

SuspendResume default is 1501 for verizon users.

cachetime is 600

Those are the only values my cabs change. I've no idea what the defaults for Telus are. I don't mean to be a jerk, so please don't take it that way.

Always back up before tweaking.
