satrohraj 0 Report post Posted September 8, 2007 I recently read a post about Dormancy mode and PING Method (Which prevents Dormancy mode). Can anyone give more information about dormancy mode and PING Method? Please... Thank You. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Arun 795 Report post Posted September 8, 2007 Dormancy mode is a "feature" which will make your data session "inactive" when you are not using it or idling like when reading web pages. The only benefit is that you will be able to receive incoming calls when it is in "dormant" stage as it will still be billed. Many feel it to be an irritating feature as it often feels like disconnected when trying to open a new page. To avoid the connection from going into dormant mode, you can keep your connection active throughout by running a ping application in the background. Open a Command Prompt window and type: ping 4.2.21 -t press Enter and minimize the window when you are using NetConnect to prevent the connection from entering dormant mode frequently.

Vishal Gupta 4 Report post Posted September 9, 2007 ^^ Actually that was typo. Its 4.2.2.1 and it'll improve ur speed too. Though you can use any site address for PING command. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
