Hi,
You may try to avoid the Treo to go to standard sleep mode (where network
connections get closed) and keep it in REM mode (see Treo doc about the REM
mode, specific to this device AFAIK). You should register to the
hsNotifyRemSleepRequestEvent notification and respond to it the same way
than to the sysNotifySleepRequestEvent notification.
In REM mode, the keyboard and display are off and locked, but all other OS
services are on and you app still goes on running. Of course, the device
consumption is much higher than in standard sleep mode, but it's difficult
to tell how much.
Also, you may listen to the sysNotifyNetLibIFMediaEvent notification to get
informed of the network link having gone down (at least with the same
accuracy than the network prefs).
Regards,
Seb

Subject: How to keep a Treo connected to the Internet?
Hello all,
I am wondering if there is any way to keep my Treo 650 from having to
reconnect to the Internet if it has been too long since I last used it.
It's just that it's annoying to have to wait everytime our app is loaded for
the device to connect to the Internet.
I tried having a timer run every 10 minutes to open the Net Library and then
close it. The problem with this was, it would still do this even if I was
in the middle of doing something on the device, and it turned on the screen
when it was off.
Another question I have is: why does the Palm need to reconnect if it's been
too long? Would it be bad for battery life if I kept the Internet always on
like this? Blackberrys never seems to need to perform this connection step.
Any ideas are greatly appreciated. Thanks.
