Auto Disconnect GPRS on PPC

I get my yahoo and gmail on my PPC and my PPC connects to the 3G network every 2 hours to download the mail. Once my PocketPc establishes a 3G connection it will not terminate it automatically and will stay connected to 3G, which in turn drains the PPC battery rather quickly. I found out 3 ways to get the 3G connection terminated, 2 manual and 1 automatic ( 2 of these involves Registry Editing ).
Manual Disconnection
1> When you are done with the 3G connection , just keep the call Disconnect button ( the red phone button ) pressed for a few seconds and the connection is terminated.
2> Get a disconnect button & time of connection in bubble when you click on the connectivity icon ( usually the 3G/E/H icon on top)
For this hack you will need to edit the following Key in the Registry
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\Phone\Flags2
you can have 3 options
0 - No disconnect button & time of connection in bubble
8 - Show disconnect button in bubble
16 - Show disconnect button & time of connection in bubble
Automatic Disconnection
3> With this Hack we can set a predefined number of Seconds , and if the 3G connection is idle for this amount of time the connection gets disconnected.
For this hack you will need to edit the following 2 Key in the Registry
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\ConnMgr\Planner\Settings\
the 1st key is DWORD CacheTime the number denotes the number of seconds to wait before the auto disconnect, I have mine @ 60 seconds
the 2nd key is Multiline value / String SuspendResume which can have 2 values
~GPRS! :- 3G always On
GPRS_bye_if_device_off :- timeout after CacheTime
and you will need to set it to GPRS_bye_if_device_off
Hope this helps you all.

Thank you this was very helpful for me. I have a user using a dial up modem connection connected to their pocket pc cradle. The
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\ConnMgr\Planner\Settings\Cache setting helped loads. Because the modem was staying online for 5 minutes or longer after the need was done, and programmatically I could not find any way to force a hangup.
I set this to 15, and now 15 seconds after my last web service request is made the handheld hangs up very cleanly.
Thank you

how do i hack the registry, so that when an incoming call is received, to turn of GPRS.
I have a problem with my network, when GPRS is downloading, and an icoming call is received -> the device restarts.
Thanks

The auto disconnect doesnt work if i leave the connection/device unused for for the specified CacheTime. Secondly, Flag2 already has value 16. but still i dont see the disconnect button

I’m a little confused.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\ConnMgr\Planner\Settings\SuspendResume
We need replace “~GPRS!” with “GPRS_bye_if_device_off” (no quotes)
or do we need add second line so it look like:
~GPRS!
GPRS_bye_if_device_off
?

no it should look like
GPRS_bye_if_device_off
