Please can there be a 3rd mode that can be activated by Android Intent: go 
online, check if the recipient XMPP account is onffline, then go offline again 
if so. Repeat every 10 minutes. That would be cool

Thanks for your input. But what would be the use case? Why do you want to do 
this, instead of running GTalkSMS 24/7?

The reason would be to save battery life and mobile data charges. However I now 
realise it might use more batter and data to do this than simply keep the 
connection alive. Is there any evidence one way or the other?

I also think that this would only result in increased battery consumption. Data 
charges shouldn't be so excessive, if you use a typical 2 account GTalkSMS 
setup, where GTalkSMS has a dedicated account and only 1 contact.

We currently send a tiny keep-alive and test whitespace packet every 15 
minutes. Which should not be better then doing a complete login and connection 
handshake every 10 minutes. The interval (15min) is currently not configurable, 
but I think that 15 minutes is a good trade off, between service availability 
and resource consumption.
