How can i force disconnect umts after check mail??

Hi, i m very happy with the new rom but i have a problem.
I set my emails accounts to periodically (30 minutes) check the account. With other roms when the precess was done then the connection was closed. With the new ROM the UMTS connection keeps stablished and the battery is out in a few hours. Does somebody know how to avoid it??
Thanks...

Same problem here... anybody??
Thanks in advance.

-......and the "always on" is set to 0.....

I am afraid that would undermine the whole definition of Push Mail. So it could very well be that it is impossible.
I remember reading an article about Push Mail and there one of the Microsoft engineers has been talking about that if you use GPRS the battery consumption is much and much less. But hey then whty buy a 3G phone. Also as I understand the GPRS is not able to properly handle the GSM simultaneously. At least I know in QTEK 110S when GPRS is actively downloading data you are unreachable for calls.... UMTS makes that possible.

I suppose it...but now ...
1) I cant automatically check my email (the connection keeps on)
2) I cant automatillally download the weather forecast(the connection keeps on).
......
I cant schedule any application that uses any connection because it keeps on and it drains the battery very quickly.
What can i do?
thanks

the weather program should have a seeting to use an active connection if av ailable. At least I have seen it in some weather programs. And if yours does not have it then get another one.
About other progs that need a connection. If I start IE I can just start browsing and works fine.
About you not being able to automatically check e-mail? I thought you enabled the Push email so what are you talking abouy. It automatically pushes emails to you ?????

ye, yes but what i want is when the program (mail, pocket weather, etc) finishs to use the connection then it is shutted down by the OS.
My job is Windows CE software developer and this is a problem. BEFORE (with old roms) when a program needs a connection the it requests a connection to the Connection manager. Then after use it, the program usually release it (using the connection manager). When no programs needs a connection then the connection manager shutted down the connection (if it was GPRS or UMTS). With the new ROM the connection manager doesnt shut down the connection.....

Yea you are right....
It is the disconnect part.
Well the battery drain is more then.
But hey I am not so bothered because I can load the battery at home in the office and in the car and when I go on vacation I turn the Pushmail offf

semi solved
Hi,
I ve wrote a little C program, 5 Kb. This program monitor any posible GPRS=UMTS connection. If it detects that this connection isnt used in 1 minute(no incoming bytes in one minute) then the connection will be closed.
this program hasnt UI so you will not see anything when you execute it. I will improve it adding a botton icon allowing the set the "one minute" parameter and the posibility to exit it....Obviously the program doesnt run when the device is suspended......

.. it should be placed in \windows\startup folder to run after each reset....

Hi dherrero,
Thanks for posting a great program. I had exactly the same issue as this but your program works perfectly and it disconnects it when the connection is not used for a minute or so.
The only probelm I have now is I equally get disconnected by this program when I am browsing websites with PIE and that is very annoying. I would appreciate it if you could modify this program to make it work only for email checking.
Kind regards,

Hi,
I am improving this little program. it isnt finished but it solves your problem. I recommend you to put it in rom and put a link in windows\starup.
When the system boots you will see a little white-blue icon in the bottom-right.
If you click this icon you will see a screen that show:
1) Bytes received in current connection.
2) Connections that the program has closed.
3) Startup time.
4) Connections checks done. (one each 30 seconds)
5) Last check date
6) Last close date.
And 4 buttons .
1) Disable: It's interesting for you. It disables the action of closing the connections.
2) Enable. The opposite. (by default it is enabled)
3) OK. Hide this screen
4) Close: Close the program.....
I hope it is usefull to you....

hi dherrero
from where can I download your prog?
tx for help

You have to login, or register if you havent, and you will see the link.....

Hi dherrero,
Thanks for getting back so promptly. It works nice on my device and now I can manually disable it directly from the Today screen when I need to.
A minor problem I found is that the characters on the Connection Manager control panel get truncated. This is probably due the fact that I have a Japanese ttc font installed to replace the default system font by tweaking the registry "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\FontLink\SystemLink\".
I hope this helps your development. Thanks again...

Hi again,
I always develop in VGA, using ozVGA. Now i ve changed the positions and now it looks correctly in vga and sevga.

Hi dherrero,
Thanks a lot!
It now runs flawlessly...

Data connection on demand

Okay I am really starting to regret this phone as its being a pain. I have an ATT tilt2 on Rogers and settings all work.
On my Kaiser when an app needed the Data it would turn it on and all would be good. Then after a certain amt of time of non use it would disconnect the data. Is there a setting that allows the phone to turn on the data when its needed? It seems that its either on or off.
This leads me to the second issue. About 5 times a day I get a message that the connection failed. I can then go to the settings and turn on the data connection and the internet will work again. I have never turned it off nor do I have any programs that restrict it.
Lastly, I have a bunch of factory connections that I can not use as I am not on ATT's service plus a few I created when I was first setting up the phone. I can delete some of them in connection manager how do I get rid of them permanantly?
It seems to me that there is way less user configuration in 6.5 than in 6.1 yet thanks to ATT its 3 times as large. Can anyone suggest a work around for the Data on demand issue?

I use HD Tweak and it works fairly well. Because the hardware is a little different, not all of the settings translate, but the things that are common between both phones works fine. You can find the link on this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=452505
Under section 6 (Data), there is a "Disconnect After", which I set for 2 minutes. Once the data is idle for 2 mins, it disconnects. The next time a program needs it again, the data connects again. Don't forget to soft reset after making changes.
Hope this helps

Okay got it working
Thanks its working now. I had installed that but there must have been somthing corrupt in my ROM as I was also unable to Harddpl it. I did two hard resets in a row, was able to flash then reistalled and now it seems to work fine.
Now if someone would make an app that uses different LED's for different notices similar to the Kaiser Notification app that was awsome.

Phone will not sync date and time automatically

Hey guys,
I just flashed my T-Mobile Dash Black with EVO's latest WM 6.5 ROM
However, I can't get the time and date to sync automatically via the network
Can someone help me out?

Did this work before with the old ROM? I have never seen this happen actually on any of my devices. Usually they are time-synced from the PC via the AS connection - which only happens if you establish a partnership and not in guest mode.

I've seen this happen on other phone models after flashing to a rom not provided by your carrier. For example, I once flashed an old Samsung phone that had Tmobile ROM to a generic Samsung ROM that had more features. The old ROM would sync the time with Tmobile whenever phone was reset or at regular intervals (I have no idea what intervals, 24 hrs, 1 week?). The new ROM, in spite of having entered all the correct settings for GPRS/WAP and selecting 'automatically update date/time' couldn't synchronize.
I suspect there's some 'magic code' carriers have in their ROMs to enable this but I haven't been able to find any info regarding this since I flashed that phone back in 2003! I purchased a Samsung SGH-720, a tri-band GSM carrier unlocked phone that also couldn't sync the date/time in spite of enabling the option.
Since you're running a modded ROM you'll have to rely on a third-party time sync app. There's a freeware one by SKTools called TSync. It's nothing fancy and won't automatically sync - you have to manually run the app but it works! I changed my date and time to incorrect values and TSync corrected both. Maybe someone else can recommend a good time sync app, preferably free
Two caveats - First, it doesn't know how to initiate an internet connection on EDGE/GPRS - it will give you a 'resource not found' error. Use IE or whatever just to establish a web connection, exit, then run TSync and it will sync with various NIST time servers. They can be edited with the included TSynccfg. Second, you obviously need to have a data plan. With the carrier provided roms no data plan is need to sync date/time.
I would really like to know how the carrier roms time sync - I used to have a Moto Razor V3 that would automatically sync and this was before I had a data plan!

Actually, my problem was fixed after I rebooted the phone.
I've noticed that with 3VO's 6.5 ROM you almost need to reboot the phone everytime you change certain phone settings and/or certain UI settings.
Which is nothing more than an inconvenience, buts it fixed now.
Thanks for the replies.

[Q] Mobile internet breaking off during tethering

Hi,
I have a really annoying problem with the Desire and hope that somebody is out there who has solved this problem already and is willing to share the solution.
I have a Desire Bravo which I used to provide internet to my desktop PC via USB tethering. But since a month or so, the phone's mobile internet (o2 Germany) goes into some sort of sleep mode when I am not actively using it on the PHONE or have constant data stream to the PC. For instance, while reading the web on the PC, I will have to grab the phone occasionally and call a web site there so that I can access the internet again on the PC. As soon as I called a web site, a download or the like on the PC works again. It must be some sort of sleep mode but I have no idea which setting it could be. I am not completely clear when this happens as sometimes it keeps awake for a good time but sometimes it interrupts very quickly.
I already have flashed a new radio 32.56.00.32U_5.17.05.23 and also the latest stable release of LeeDroid 3.0.8.2 as I thought it might be the OS. But not improvement.
It is also not the SIM / carrier as it works without this problem if I use the same SIM in an internet USB stick.
Is there some sort of user data I could try to delete?
Or could the Windows drivers (on win 7 64 bit) be the problem?
Or any other suggestions?
I have searched the web for days and did find entries but the problem is always slightly different...
Thanks a mil for any insights!
Cheers,
frotty

Maybe an easier question first: do you guys get a stable connection over a prolonged period of time when using the Desire as a mobile internet modem via tethering?
The HDSPA signal is strong and the phone is not moving.
(Now, I tried newer HTC sync drivers (uninstall, new install) - no improvement.
I tried a wipe / factory reset and started without microSD, thus no user data - no improvement.
I tried it on a different Win 7 PC - no difference.
So far I only tried HTC stock ROM-based ROMs. Would it be worthwhile to try one of the open source ROMs?
Or might it be really a carrier issue? It just started to do this breaking off a month ago... but then again, with a USB internet stick the SIM gives a rather stable connection.)

Please help a windows phone new comer

I have been using my new windows phone for nearly a day now and I have just noticed that my wifi appears to turn itself off when my phone is in standby. Is this actually the case and, if so, is there any way to prevent this?
I don't have a large data plan and I am concerned about going over my data limit.
Also, is there any way to force the device to only sync when on a wifi connection?
I hope there is an obvious solution to this issue as I like to have full functionality of the device without having to be changing sync settings all the time.
I would grately appreciate some informed assistance with these issues.
ps I have put this post in the lumia 900 section by mistake as I own a lumia 800 but I guess that the same thing applies so would appreciate any help!

Sorry my friend,
Wifi will turn itself off on standby and there is no option to prevent it... However, there are a few apps that will keep the wifi on even in stand by; apps such as "spotify" (I think) and probably most radio/music apps... you could keep it running in the background
You should note that the wifi is automaticaly turned on as soon as your phone is awake and takes over your data connection. So, you could choose to sync your emails manualy.
Hope it helps.

Google search mobility digest keep wifi on trick. The I heart radio app will do that for you.
You can also set up wireless sync in Zune.
