Dormant Mode
Section 9
Dormant Mode
With your i730 you can seamlessly transition to a voice
call and then resume your data connection after your call
ends using Dormant mode. Dormant mode allows you to
maintain data connections so you can easily continue to
instant message, download email, or browse the Web
after receiving a call.
There are two communication protocols used to
exchange data in a wireless network, 1X and EVDO. Your
i730 supports both protocols; however, certain features,
such as Dormant Mode, are only available in areas
supporting the high-speed 1X and EVDO data protocol
and are not available if the area in which your are using
your phone uses the 2G data protocol.
When you launch MSN Messenger or Pocket Internet
Explorer, your i730 establishes a data session so you can
send and receive information while using these
programs. When an active data session is established, you
will see the data session icon at the top of your screen.
To suspend your data session and resume it later, tap the
icon. The message, “Data session now dormant”
displays.
The inactive icon appears in the title bar, which
indicates the Dormant mode is active. To cancel Dormant
mode and resume your data session, select the application
you were previously using.
