Disable GPRS Disconnect?

---

I am running On Farias Rom. I noticed that before, when i pressed the "end" button, it would minimize the program. Now when i press the end button it disconnects me from my GPRS connection. Is there any way to stop this? With the older roms, i would only be disconnected from GPRS is i HELD the end button down for a couple of seconds. Now it disconnects me immediately after i press the end button. This poses some problem for my instant messaging programs which require an active connection. This problem is NOT solved by keeping the GPRS always on. All that setting does is reconnect me to the GPRS when i get disconnected (by pressing the end button). Is there any way to reverse this so that i only disconnect if i HOLD down the end button?

this is starting to make sense now. This is why i have to hit end twice to get back to the home screen. annoying...

I also have Faria's ROM and could not duplicate your issue. I am not saying you aren't experiencing it, just that whether I am at the today screen or in a program and I hit the "end" key (red phone icon, right?) it either takes me back to the today screen or if I am already there makes the phone beep at me.

When I held it for a few seconds it did terminate the GPRS connection, but then it kicked right back in again. I have registry wizard set to "always on GPRS"

Sorry I can't actually help...

But that's also another thing. I don't want it ALWAYS on. I need it on when i am using it. But when i am using it, i don't want it to disconnect GPRS when i press the end button. It should only disconnect from GPRS if i HOLD down the end button (yes, the red telephone key). Having my GPRS always on, and the window that keeps popping up to tell me that it is reconnecting after i ended a phone call or stopped the gprs connection gets rather annoying. Not to mention the gigantic battery drain it is to have the connection on 247

If you do not want to disconnect GPRS with the END (call) button, you can set the value of the following registry key to 1:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\ConnMgr\Providers\{7C4B7A3 8-5FF7-4bc1-80F6-5DA7870BB1AA}\Connections\(GPRS connection name)\AlwaysOn

Thanx a tonn man

Thanx for the registry key value... I am a noob, you actually saved me. I was just about to flash my current ROM just because the registry value is set to 0. & the gprs DISCONNECTS AFTER PRESSING red button. tHANX A LOT.

CHEERS...
