View Full Version : GPRS timeout and disconnect on off with new firmware+Radio

Hi all,
before I upgraded my SX66 to the new SX66 firmware + latest Radio, GPRS timeout was very long (like 15 minutes) and didn't disconnect on power off, so that things like MSN messenger could keep working when the phone was off.

After the upgrade, the timeout is very short and now the phone shuts off GPRS wen it turns off. I actually noticed that it takes the phone 1 second to turn off while it was instantaneous before.

Anyone knows where this is set, if it can be changed, if it's a known issue...?

I am thinking that since here in the US, GPRS is billed by the MB (or these days is unlimited), a Cingular Radio ROM might be fairly lax with timeouts, whereas a French Radio (which I think the latest radio I have is) might want to disconnect very quickly since (I think) GPRS is billed by the minute in Europe.

Any thought or corroborating experience?
