I've been using the Dopod 838pro as 3G wireless modem via USB quite frequently lately and i noticed the connection only stay up for about 0ne hour whereby ftp download is running, as well as other traffic e.g. yahoo messenger running too on the PC and it shld keepalive the modem connection supposedly.

About an hour, the connection will stop and the wireless modem app will stop (we need to click 'start' b4 connect to the usb port in the first place), and the dopod 838pro will perform active sysnc instead. And on the pc end it will fail the redial, wonder has anyone out there encountered this similar problem ?

I've been changing radio rom to test, still facing similar problem. Latest radio rom on my device is 1.20 and still no luck to maintain long hours of modem connection.

Wondering is this pertaining to the operator or the device itself? I'm living in Malaysia and I'm having unlimited 3G data plan with the mobile operator, Maxis.

I used to have this problem and found it was because my phone was set up to automatically check for new emails every hour.

My direct push is disabled and no automated check email, the modem connection still won't last more than an hour

Is this with Modem Link or the Wireless Modem application?

I had the same issue when connecting my old Wizard to the laptop via Bluetooth, but NOT with the Modem Link. So I assume if you use the Wireless Modem application and Bluetooth, that maybe the issue.

this is wireless modem via USB. Initially my practice was turn off Data connection (with the tweak that data connection always-on enabled) via Comm Manager, then use Wireless Modem via USB thru dial-up networking. Yesterday I disabled always-on tweak, it seems it can last 7 hours of modem connection, will test further to validate this...thanks.
