Vision/Ev-DO connection not maintained

Is anyone else having this problem? After every email fetch, it appears that the 6700 drops the Vision/Ev-DO connection. If I go to retrieve email again right away (like to retrieve email for a different POP3 account), I see the "Connecting to Sprint PCS Vision..." popup again. Switching out of email and over to IE to pull up a web site does the same thing the first time. The next web page I try to pull up works fine and if I leave the web browser to use something else and come back to it, the connection is still active. I haven't done further testing to see when (if at all) the connection will be dropped if I don't make use of it for a while.

So the problem appears to be with the Messaging app dropping the connection after a fetch. I checked all of the settings within Messaging and saw no mention of being able to disable that, nor did I see any mention of how to change it in Settings/Connections/Connections.

Re: Vision/Ev-DO connection not maintained

My XV6600 does the same on occasion. Being that the OS is different makes me now wonder if there's a bug or conflict that exists that I had previously ignored. Weatherpanel forces a connection due to my settings for it, but now I'll have to reconsider what forces the drop-off in the first place. I'm doing a hard reset this weekend so I'll have a chance to play with adding and testing apps then.

I get the same issue when it comes to mail....... I don't have it with IE though. I think it is odd as they both connect the same way. I feel like after a mail check it should hold that connection dormant rather than disconnect and reconnect.

yea, mine does that too. Not sure i want it to maintain a vision connection. Arn't incomming calls blocked when vision is on? At least for 1X. Although, i don't think it was doing this before i did a hard reset a couple days ago. I wonder if it has something to do with the fact that i didn't let sprint 's autorun thing install anything after the hard reset (I did a soft reset as soon as that 3 sec till install thing came up... it never did it again). Anyway, I had to configure vision manually. Any of you guys who are haveing "trouble" do that?

Calls are not blocked when Vision is connected. They're only blocked when you're actively transferring data.
