why wont 3g/gprs disconnect by itself?

[habs101]

i'll give u guys a scenario..

i open outlook
check email

everything is done.

I close the task but the 3g / H icon still shows connect and the timer keeps moving.

Or even when i update the weather..... it updates, downloads and all, but the icon still shows connected and stuff.

Oh my old touch , once i checked my email etc, it would disconnect by itself or the weather.

is there a way to prevent this or set a timer that after 10seconds of no connctivty to disconnet?

You know, just today I was looking for the same thing since I didn't want a data connection to drain the battery. When playing around in Schap's Advanced Config Tool under the connection settings, there's an option in there to disconnect after "x" seconds, which you can set to 10, 20, 30, 45 secs or even minutes. I haven't had a chance to play around with it too much, but initial observations are not very positive. For example if I wasn't using Opera to browse it does not disconnect, however when I exit, the data connection was stopped. I tried the same thing with the HTC home weather app and it didn't disconnect after the update. So not really sure, again this was only playing around with it for a few mins.
