enable always on mobile data significance plus one

[jland22]

Hello

New to the Droid OS and forums and loving this incredible. Does anyone know what happens if you uncheck the box mentioned above in your mobile network settings does and what the significance is of leaving it on ?

Also when texting in HTC messages which is my only known way to use sms if I am composing a new message and start typing the name address it brings up almost all my contacts in threes. It did this in my people app which I linked to alleviate that specific problem but I can't seem to find anything for this instance.

When I turned off the data, gmail didn't push, weather didn't update etc. I had the same problem with the contacts and I just unsynced Google contacts and am just using backup assistant.

Certain apps will not function without the mobile data network, but you will still be able to use all the normal phone functions (call, sms, etc.)

This only happens if you aren't on Wifi. If you turn that option off yet are on Wifi (like in your home, office, etc), you'll still get data like you used to. As you see above, others are claiming you won't get notifications until after you wake up the phone - but honestly, I haven't had that experience.

so lemme get this straight...if i turn off always on mobile data, gmail will not go thru to my phone until i wake it up? and the same with the weather?

also, with it off, everything else will work as normal when the phone is awake. just when its off, there is no data pushed meaning, no gmail, facebook, weather, google voice, or google talk?

Correct. It turns off about 10 min or so after you go into sleep mode

It's really not that bad, just sync when you wake the phone up. You wont get it instantly, but do you need to?

Mine gets updates while sleeping...

I've had mine shut off since day one and get g-mail and weather updates whether my phone is awake or not!

something else is waking up your phone then and that is when everything updates.
