for a network/internet connection. I ran across this registry hack that works flawlessly so far on my XV6600. Depending on which value you choose it will even give you the total connect time :)

"To get just the disconnect/time online in your bubble, Tweak (or add) the following key:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\Phone]
"Flags2"=dword:00000000 = no button disconect in buble con.
"Flags2"=dword:00000008 = button disconect on buble con.
"Flags2"=dword:00000010 = button disconect and time con. on buble conection (hex)


Warm reset.. you're good to go. (This method doesn't suffer from the shutoff/connection drops problem).

Hmmmm I thought more people would be excited about this hack. Is it already well known?

Sort of. Its been around for a while, but its none the less useful.

Its strange its not enabled by default.

May I'm missing the usefulness of this hack. I just press the red phone key to disconenct.

Thank you. I hadn't previously heard about this hack, and it is quite useful. I usually connect my 4155 via bluetooth to my phone and use GPRS, and it always bugged me that I had to go into Bluetooth Manager to disconnect (or just shut off bluetooth) or see how long I've been connected.
