Hello All,

I am a new N900 user. Just got the phone few hours back.

The phone is complete for me. The only thing missing is a good social networking application with customizable Homescreen widget.

However the main aim of writing this post is to know that why the N900 doesn;t disconnects the Wi-Fi/3G after the application using it is closed.

thanks,

Try searching/downloading the app called AutoDisconnect..

but yeah it would've been cool to have this feature out-of-the-box..

Hey there Welcome to t.m.o
Unfortuantely N900 doesnt do it you need to download this application more info here

why should it close the connection?

does your computer shut down wlan after you have closed web browser?

No it doesn't. however N900 is a cellphone and not a Computer which can be plugged in to the mains 24/7.

Thanks guys for the Auto disconnect application.

So Autodisconnect application will disconnect Wifi if i am browsing continuously for say 30 minutes and the time for check is set to 5 minutes right?

You are welcome but haha dude what you just said is insulting N900 is a COMPUTER
It runs Linux and only thing that reminds me that its a phone is my operator's name..hehe to be even more precise N900 is a internet tablet with a SIM card slot

True. Apologies for that. Battery drain worries me.

N900 is a Super Computer.

No, it only disconnects the connection if there is less than xxx bytes of data downloaded in xx minutes.

xx = settings in the autodisconnect application.

So for example, i have it set at 512 bytes/min and 5 mins.

Of course it depends on usage patterns but looking for wi-fi and negotiations are using much more energy than keeping connection alive.
