FWIW, this was a setting in the web browser (pocket IE) for my Motorola Q. One could set the length of "inactivity" before disconnecting. I had two different "3G" icons...one for "voice", the other "data", which confirmed connection state. If the "data" session was disconnected, and the icon not visible, if I open the browser, or checked email, the icon would appear, and disapear again, after the preconfigured inactivity period.
