1800PocketPC.com - Windows Mobile Apps: Auto Disconnect GPRS on PPC

  • Keith Longwell · 1 year ago
    Thank you this was very helpful for me. I have a user using a dial up modem connection connected to their pocket pc cradle. The
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\ConnMgr\Planner\Settings\Cache setting helped loads. Because the modem was staying online for 5 minutes or longer after the need was done, and programmatically I could not find any way to force a hangup.

    I set this to 15, and now 15 seconds after my last web service request is made the handheld hangs up very cleanly.

    Thank you

    Hi
    its a good information, cause here in thailand GPRS is charged by the time and not by traffic.best regards from thailand.

    how do i hack the registry, so that when an incoming call is received, to turn of GPRS.
    I have a problem with my network, when GPRS is downloading, and an icoming call is received -> the device restarts.

    Thanks

    The auto disconnect doesnt work if i leave the connection/device unused for for the specified CacheTime. Secondly, Flag2 already has value 16. but still i dont see the disconnect button

    I'm a little confused.

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\ConnMgr\Planner\Settings\SuspendResume

    We need replace "~GPRS!" with "GPRS_bye_if_device_off" (no quotes)
    or do we need add second line so it look like:
    ~GPRS!
    GPRS_bye_if_device_off

    ?
  • Saijo George · 11 months ago
    no it should look like

    GPRS_bye_if_device_off

    Thanks very much for this solution.
    And for the record: I had to reboot my Ipaq6915 in order to get the patch to work.

    this does not work for me, and it is very annoying!
    i have a touch hd.

    First of all i changed the setting in TweakHD; but it made no difference (data connection still on constantly)
    Then i changed it in advanced config ( i already had this and tweakHD installed) - and still nothing happened.
    So then i installed the cab - and still not change
    so then i started to look in the registry myself, and it appeared all to be correct.

    i made soft resets inbetween all of these.
    also, i don' think it is to do with anything constantly accessing the connection - becuase if i turn it off manually, it stays off. Its just annoying to remember to turn it off manually everytime i check email, or use the internet or whatever.

    is there anything else i can try to make it work?
  • Saijo George · 9 months ago
    thats odd, just check if you have your email connecting to the server to pull email every 5 mins or something like that. Basically you have to just make sure that the auto disconnect time you have set for your GPRS should be less say 5 mins and try setting the time between checking emails as say 15 - 30 mins.

    Hi there
    When I look at SuspendResume I get hex code
    7E 00 47 00 50 00 52 00
    53 00 21 00 00 00 00 00
    Using the TotalCommander reg editor
    Do I need a different registry editor?
  • Duncan · 8 months ago
    Not to worry - sorted now thanks.
    Great fix, maybe now my battery will live for a bit longer

    Just tried this on my HTC Touch HD and tried option 3. Like Tom, it doesnt seem to work on the HD, not sure why though!
  • Sergio Nayar · 5 months ago
    Even though this tweak do work to end the data connection at the time you specify, there's an annoying flaw!

    On some devices (i.e. Samsung Omnia i900) the 3G data internet connection drops if you place or receive a call when the tweak is applied!

    Strange but true.

    Go figure!

    Regards,
    Sergio

    HTC trinity with WM 6.5
  • PPCInformer · 4 months ago
    I am not sure this will work on WM6.5, I guess I tried it on 6.0
  • Andrew · 2 months ago
    This little registry edit (installed through .cab file) worked great for me in WM6.0 and WM6.1! Check it out!

    Have HTC Touch Pro 2. None of the above works. Connection stays active only option is to go to communication settings and then manually disconnect the dat connection.
