Dormant Mode
Using Dormant mode, you can seamlessly answer a voice call
and then resume your data connection after your call ends.
Dormant mode allows you to maintain data connections so
you can easily continue to use Instant Messaging, 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 phone
supports both protocols; however, certain features, such as
Dormant mode, are available only in areas supporting the
high-speed 1X and EVDO data protocol. Dormant Mode is not
available if the area in which your are using your phone uses
the 2G data protocol.
When you launch MSN Messenger or Internet Explorer
Mobile, your phone 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” is displayed.
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.
