hi all,

i have an unlimited GPRS plan and hence connected 24 hours....

however, this uses up a lot of battery and frankly, there are times when i do not wish to be online!

problem is, even if i disconnect the GPRS, it reconnect automatically after a while.

is there any way to prevent the phone to auto reconnecting?

Search the forum for the modaco nodata cab file

This great tool lets you toggle on/off the connections.

For easy use, you can create a shortcut for it on your today screen and toggle it on/off whenever you want

Hope this helps

Do you use an exchange server? If you do, it may be due to Active Sync trying to connect to the exchange server.

pfft.. you think GPRS is bad? try EVDO.. my 6700 barely lasts a day (with Activesync/push email)

you could also use a combination of mortscript and vijay555's VJVolubilis (http://www.vijay555.com/?Releases:VJVolubilis) to disconnect qutomatically at a time or period (ie, every 10 mins) you define

is there any reason nodata would give an error on a wm 6.0 standard device?

the only error that i know of is when the phone has no data connection details on it, ie a custom rom which does not include gprs settings, it will give an error until you add the settings.

use something like Advanced Config... You can disable GPRS somewhere in this program... It has many other stuff you can do with your phone...
