What Is Meant By Dormancy Mode? How Does It Occur.?

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.

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.

Thanks, for explaining the method.

One more question - can i use anything instead of [4.2.21] , like www.yahoo.com ?

Can why did you mention [4.2.21] particularly?

Thank you.

^^ 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.

Thats right, its 4.2.2.1 or 4.2.2.2

Yes, you can use any domain name or IP to ping.
