Systems and methods are provided for dynamically modifying the radio state of a user device based on monitored properties of the user device. One or more device properties associated with the power of the user device are monitored to determine a radio state change for the user device based on a triggering event. The triggering event corresponds to the one or more monitored device properties, and based on the determined radio state change for the user device, the radio state of the user device is automatically modified. Based on the modified radio state, information is transmitted to a cell site, the information including modified user device capability information. Based on the modified user device capability information, the user device receives communications from the cell site.

Dynamically modifying radio states of a user device

A water resistant port and a method for using it are provided. The port comprises a moveable seal assembly coupled to a spring structure. The moveable seal assembly may comprise a plastic material on an inner surface and a seal material on an outer surface. When the spring structure is in a relaxed position, the moveable seal assembly is caused to create a seal with a gasket material coupled to a side wall of a port casing. The spring structure comprises a spring coupled to the moveable seal assembly at one end and to a guide at an opposite end in an interior portion of the port casing. The port casing comprises, on an interior surface, one or more electrical connectors adapted to receive one or more electrical contacts of an accessory plug when the spring structure is compressed and the moveable seal assembly is in an engaged position.
