Hello  have several clients including myself that are unable to find a simple fix for their WM5/6 PDAs whether they be Telecom or Vodafone.

Basically the only way for the mobile device, I.E OKTA Touch / Boss / Treo 700wx /750V / Apache / Jamin etc etc, to disconnect from a the internet from an active sync with Exchange or even Pop3 is by manually disconnecting.

One of my clients has about 40 pdas in a mixture of VNZ and TNZ and they have set them to "As items arrive" basically this keeps a live connection on the device which obviously sucks the battery down quickly. When the client uses as a primary phone it is even worse.

We have tried the manual sync and you still have to manually disconnect. We have have tried the scheduled sync and still the pda's are keeping the connection live and are not disconnecting. in CDMA it goes dormant, in UMTS it stays connected.

Does anyone know of a fix that disconnects the data connection after 2 minutes or if there is a patch for WM5/6 to auto disconnect the connection if no activity?

i will google some and see what i come up with but any advice would be appreciated.
