1. A method for transferring data between a mobile device and a host, comprising:
- sending, in response to instructions from a processor, application data requests from a mobile device to a host over a first connection at a first frequency;
receiving data from the host responsive to the sent application data requests;
selecting a power management mode, from a plurality of power management modes, based on an amount of battery power remaining on the mobile device, wherein selecting a power management mode is further based on the amount of battery power remaining being below a predetermined amount;
changing the frequency that the application data requests are sent from the first frequency to a second frequency associated with the selected power management mode;
wherein at least two of the power management modes are a low power mode configured to conserve the amount of battery power remaining on the mobile device and a normal operation mode,wherein the normal operation mode is configured to allow the mobile device to send application data requests more frequently than when the mobile device is in low power mode,wherein the frequency at which some application data requests are sent is not changed to the second frequency while the mobile device is in the low power mode; and
exiting the low power mode when an amount of battery power remaining is above a predetermined amount.

15. A mobile device located in a mobile network, comprising:
-
a battery; a processor configured to allow the mobile device to; send application data requests to a host over a first connection at a first frequency; receive data from the network responsive to the sent application data requests; select a power management mode from a plurality of power management modes based on an amount of battery power remaining on the mobile device, wherein the selection of a power management mode is further based on the amount of battery power remaining being below a predetermined amount; change the frequency that application data requests are sent from the first frequency to a second frequency associated with the selected power management mode; wherein at least two of the power management modes are a low power mode configured to conserve the amount of battery power remaining on the mobile device and a normal operation mode, wherein the normal operation mode is configured to allow the mobile device to send application data requests more frequently than when the mobile device is in the low power mode, wherein the frequency at which some application data requests are sent is not changed to the second frequency while the mobile device is in the low power mode; and exit the low power mode when an amount of battery power remaining is above a predetermined amount. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31)

32. A mobile device located in a mobile network, comprising:
-
a battery; a processor configured to allow the mobile device to; monitor a remaining battery level of the battery; send application data requests to a host over a first connection at a first frequency; receive data from the host responsive to the sent application data requests; operate in a normal operations mode when a remaining battery level is above a predetermined amount; select a low power mode from a plurality of power management modes in order to conserve the remaining battery level when the remaining battery level is below the predetermined amount, wherein the low power mode is based on amount of battery power remaining on the mobile device being below a predetermined amount; change the frequency that application data requests are sent from the first frequency to a second frequency associated with the low power management mode; wherein at least two of the power management modes are the low power mode configured to conserve the amount of battery power remaining on the mobile device and the normal operations mode, wherein the normal operation mode is configured to allow the mobile device to send application data requests more frequently than when the mobile device is in the low power mode, wherein the frequency at which some application data requests are sent is not changed to the second frequency while the mobile device is in the low power mode; exit the low power management mode when the remaining battery level is above the predetermined amount; and receive a trigger that notifies the mobile device of new data, wherein the trigger at least in part causes the mobile device to send application data requests. - View Dependent Claims (33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40)
