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 Issues

Posted this @ PPC ... wanted to see if someone over here could shed some light on this for me... I have searched and the only things that I come up with are to disable the connection (manually, nodata... etc), and "there has to be something keeping it active"
It seems like many of us are having issues with the data connection not terminating after x amount of seconds. (myself included) What I am seeing with my own phone is that it will connect, download data, then go to idle (yet still active) It never seems to enter the inactive state, which is where the disconnect feature comes into play. I have searched the registry, and the only disconnect references that I can find all point to it being in the inactive state.
Does anybody know where the registry entries would be that directs the data connection to go from active/idle to inactive? I can confirm that my phone is connected by the solid white arrows next to the 3G icon, but when you bring up SPB Wireless, it shows no current activity.
Hopefully this provides enough clarification so that someone with more RegEdit experience can chime in...
Thanks

Do you by any chance have Microsoft Direct Push enabled? That will try to maintain your data connection.
(I've seen active sync go pretty wierd things. Nothing a good "End task" wont fix..)

Well... here's the thing.... I have disabled direct push for the internet... but I am not sure where the Microsoft direct push is. I have noticed on occasion that the direct push will be active (but greyed) momentarily when i close the data connection.... maybe that has something to do with it....
So now where is the direct push disable?

Are you using Activesync? Look under schedules there.. If you say "As items arrive", it will try to maintain the connection.
Nope, direct push will try to use the data connection first - so when u turn off the data connection, it will turn off, but you can turn it back on over wireless.

No active sync.... iv even deleted poutlook from the startup, as I only have pop/imap accounts set up for manual download....
Like i said tho... i find it odd that it will open the connection, stay active (but idle), and never go into the inactive state....

The behaviour is by design on Windows Mobile. Imagine having to reconnect again and again and again on your PC's broadband connection after a period of inactivity.
You can also disconnect right there and then by pressing the END CALL key for 3 seconds.

What is odd, is when I first got the phone it did not do this behavior... but with that said... and the fact that there is no noticeable change in battery life, I guess it becomes sort of moot....

Problem with Wifi hot spot

HI all.
At my work place we have open wifi hotspot. Only thing i need to do to use it is to register on it when connecting for the 1st time, when doing it on laptop it simply pops website, where i need to enter email adress and my age, is one time operation (it records MAC adress i guess). I cant get it done with my Desire, i can see network, but it wont let me open any website, tried different browsers but no luck.
Any clues?
Thanks

Most sites with free access require you to leave the registration page open, then open a second window to browse. So open new window from menu and try that?

I cant even load 1st page, and yes tried new window, changed user agent too. No luck. Bit annoying as im working on the kitchen and could have spotify running all day long, with my 500mb worth data plan that aint an option. I went through quite few different roms alredy, started on stock desire one, now im on latest OpenDesire. My mates Nokia works just fine, web browsing, radio, youtube and so on.
Thanks

treve wifi tether issue

Im running treve mod to tether wifi on my optimus g. I have the latest updates from sprint and im rooted on the stock rom. It worked fine for a while.
I then developed an issue when if I was using two conntections *ie, me on my pc and my gf on hers, It would stop working after a while of use. Now I just couldn't visit any new web pages, if I was say, watching a youtube video or playing an online game it would continue to play, But when i tried to visit a new webpage Id get the cant reach server error. This would typically occur after a few hours of use.
Then it progressed to doing this after shorter an shorter time periods when we both use the connection, to the point where we'd both surf for perhaps 20 minutes and It would stop working.
Now its to the point where whether we both use it or not the connection only lasts maximum an hour, sometimes as little as 10 min. Same thing though If im paying a game or on youtube it will continue to play thought but new pages wont load. Its like established connections stay connected but I cant make any new ones.
So, the temporary fix I've found is just the untether wait 5 seconds and retether. Its annoying.
I've tried a few different versions, most recent that I know are 11-22-12 and the one i just installed today is 3.2 beta2 modv5
My settings are what was posted here:
wlan0 (when i try others my pc cant connect)
netd-ndc (master)
send netd cliend cmd ( tried turning this off no change)
wifi driver reload (I tried checking reload 2 in addition to the first, and tried just reload 2, or none checked)
mms clamping
routing fix
Its really starting to become discouraging. I don't understand how it would work fine for a while then slowly and progressively deteriorate. (its been over the course on 8 months or so to get to this point.
soooo I my hope is that someone else has an idea, im running out!

I have all the same settings except I have disable wake lock checked. Not sure if that makes a difference. I haven't updated to ZVC yet just in case wifi tether has issues with it. I really want to update just to get rid of the notification. Will be paying attention to see if you get it fixed. My wifi tether has good and bad days though. I think it depends on the signal I get. Where i use it has a weak signal. Sometimes a restart works and other times I fight with it all day. On average though, I can run it all day long without issues. Oh, and I'm using the same version of Wifi tether.

I have wake lock checked also. Forgot about that.
These tether problems started before the update, I installed the update and nothing changed.
As for your weak signal, I can relate and ill tell you what I did.
I live in the country, on the sprint map I'm outside of 4g service by about a mile. I was getting a 3g signal and almost no bars, Id have to go outside to talk. I got a wilson sleek universal from the 3gstore. (not to advertise any single company you can get em all over) my talk bars went to max with it, and with the little antenna I could get a 4g signal. BUT then summer came and i assume the foliage blocked my signal. I was back to 3g most the time and 4g sometimes. So i got this outdoor universal antenna from the same place. Now I have 4glte signal all the time, ranging from 6meg to 14 meg down, so it works really well. I Just have the antenna in my window too even though its meant to be mounted on the roof.
back to the tethering, I loaded up a custom rom on my gf galaxy s3 that has the built in hotspot hack. So I'm going to see if that one works. Id prefer to keep my phone because, well, I just think the optimus G is 10x the phone. But having internet is more important. The only other internet provider in my area is cable company that has a 10 meg line going to THEM! Meaning I get 0.9 meg downloads if im lucky with them.
Im going to continue to play with the treve mod, and try to get it working again, hopefully someone has an idea.
I tried setting up access control thinking perhaps if I limit it to just the two pcs it would help ( i have a tablet, and my home theater setup all connect) i couldnt connect at all when i did this.

You know, I just thought about it. You said you have the same settings and version. This makes me think that perhaps
A; sprint has caught on to my usage and is locking it down on me? (but so far the galaxy tether has no issues, different phone on same account)
B; Is it possible some other device I have in my house is messing up the optimus g's signal?

I still can't get this working, I also tried the galaxy s3 with its native hotspot enabled and same thing, after about 10 minutes i can't access new pages, but i can watch netflix all night long.
this has to be sprint cutting my connection off right? They can tell im not accessing mobile sites or what?
anyone have an idea?

ENJOY!

It doesn't work.(for long) Im pretty sure either sprint has caught on to my usage or my local tower is acting weird, I noticed that my connection drops here and there when i browse on the phone even. Im thinking thats whats causing the tether to drop. It just happens more often with the tether than on the phone.
Its just so weird that only new connections stop, open connections will stay connected.
I ended up getting my local cable company back, they upgraded to a whopping 3.9 meg.. beats the hell out of the .9meg it was

This worked perfectly for me on stock ZVC rooted...THANKYOU so much. Been racking my brain since the update!

Question No notification or login page available for Free Wifi

I have used my phone to connect to Free Wifi in fast food shop, which requires me to click a button for Terms and Conditions.
In the past, the login page or notification will pop up automatically.
However, in recent days, even if the Wifi is connected automatically, neither login page nor notification pops up.
I try to connect that page through Chrome, by searching random words or type http://1.1.1.1
It did succeed once, unfortunately it doesn't work later.
Does anyone know how to solve this issue?

This isn't a solution, but I used to have that problem with McD's free WiFi a few years ago and my workaround was to bookmark the free WiFi terms and conditions page.
I think I also used to try to "forget" the WiFi network in Settings and then try to connect to an Internet page to force up the Terms page..
Forgive if this is useless info because I haven't seen that problem in at least a couple of years or more. and am relying on memory.

I am not sure why this happens with my Pixel 6 Pro.....
Just thinking whether there can be a proper fix

It's been a long time, but I seem to recall back when I was using public Wi-Fi (such as McDonald's) more often and if I had this problem (on some older phone), I could access the proper page manually by going to the list of Wi-Fi (long-press on the Wi-Fi Quick Setting Tile) and then maybe long-pressing on the particular Wi-Fi I want the page open for? Or possibly just click on the button to go into the details for that Wi-Fi and I think there's something there for getting to the access page.
Sorry that I can't be more specific - it's been years.
