One thing that had been puzzling for me, how come I have a smart phone but I need to manually enable/disable data transfer, why can't data radio enable on demand? (and I don't use any background data, I've disabled whatever I could). Mind you, now that minimal data package offered exceeds what I use, being a data miser is becoming obsolete) I'm currently using CM7 and faux123 1.45GHz overclocked kernel, toggling data doesn't have as big effect on power consumption add it did in the past, as observed on Battery Monitor Widget. -- Sent from my Android phone with K-9 Mail.
