GPRS auto disconnect for battery saving

[marco.minetti]

Hi Guys,
for everyone who wants to set GPRS auto disconnect timeout without using 3rd parties' software...

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\ConnMgr\Planner\Settings\
SuspendResume = GPRS_bye_if_device_off
CacheTime = xxx (where xxx are seconds before auto disconnect, for me the best value is 60)

Bye.

Thx

However, I cannot find the directory ConnMgr\Planner\Settings under \Comm

Sorry for not prompt reply... :S however i don't know how gprs management works under 2003SE...

Sorry...

Did you try to look for SuspendResume value anywhere in the registry?

ta-da!

great tip! i've been looking for this for a while.

so i decided i'll create a cab file, to use with my extended rom!

i've created two files: for 1 minute disconnect, and 5 minute disconnect.
here you go.

This works fine for me !!

Very Happy now!!

I'm using WM6 (official one)

 

[CameoTabby]

It works for me on WM6 too.

However, I am trying to integrate this to my own cooked ExtROM. I am new at the cooking process. So, I need someone's help to get this done.

Here is part of my oem.xml...

========================================================
<characteristic type="Registry">
<characteristic type="HKLM\Comm\ConnMgr\Planner\Settings">
<parm name="SuspendResume" value="GPRS_bye_if_device_off" datatype="????"/>
<parm name="CacheTime" value="60" datatype="integer"/>
</characteristic>
</characteristic>
========================================================

This is what I have so far. However, because REG_MULTI_SZ is one of the less used key type. I am having problem figure out what to put as the "datatype".

Can someone please help me on filling in the "????" part?

Thanks.

Cab file changes the registry but device still does not disconnect

Any suggestions? It is 60 seconds and not 60 minutes - right?

 

[Ean66]

I have installed the cab file and the registry has changed, however the GPRS still does not turn off - any suggestions?

Nice. Does this also work with 3G connections? Specifically UMTS...

 

[joachim2]

Great! It works on the lg ks20 for the 3G connections.

 

[hitman_36]

this doesnt work, any ideas? Registry has changed to:

CacheTime 0X3C (60)
CoeffBandwidth 0x10000 (65536)
CoeffCost 0x10000 (65536)
CoeffLatency 0x10000 (65536)
RetryCount 0x1 (1)
SuspendResume GPRS_bye_if_device_off
VPNCacheTime 0X3C (60)

Thanks

I was wondering... after changing this registry entry (the CacheTime one) what is the orginal value for this incase you ever wanted you ever wanted to change it back to default? I would have looked myself but I ran the .cab file before thinking to check the registry and see what it was... Thanks in advance!

I wanna say that it is set to "0" but I just wanted someone to confirm this for me before I tried to write a .cab file to get it back to default settings.

Warning!
These cabs work for "normal" sw running in Win Mobile, but it stops Java apps running under jebed.exe to connect and get data. A connection is established, but it is immediately closed down, re-opened - closed done, re-opened - closed down and it goes on like this. Had to uninstall.
