Ending Data Transfer: Stopping IE

[cybertoto]

When using Windows Media I see an option on the menu to stop it.. Why don't I get the same option when using Internet Explorer? there must be a way to stop IE... right?

define stop...
stop as in closing the program or stop as in stop a page from loading?
to closet the program you need to use the task manager and kill the app. to stop a page from loading you need to hit the 'stop button' left soft key while a page is loading

You should also ensure that you do not have IE in fullscreen mode because you will not see the stop button if it is set as such.

Thankyou guys... I meant stoping it for good.. so that the device is not transfering data... I think killing it probably works except that the transfer arrows still shown for a while after I have killed the application... also if I get open I.E. few minuts later it seems to connect directly bypassing the screen where it ask you if you want to connect... making me think that it is still connected even after I had killed the application...

IE only transfers data when loading a page. The two way arrows indicate a connection is available and the "do you want to connect" is just when you start the program unless you disable it as I have. (why start IE if unwilling to connect?)

The little PDA icon next to the EV is what indicates data transfer.

That being said the little PDA shouldn't come up unless there's data activity ie. internet, email, exchange, on demand, etc., however mine will stay inactive till I make any kind of connection then when the arrows are there the PDA icon shows up every so often even though I have no active data requests. The only thing I can guess is going from EV to 1x and back does it. It does not do it however if I haven't established a prior data connection in some way.

Any ideas folks?
