I decided to test if phonegap WebView is live when app is in a background.
function test2(x){ $(\'\', {text: x.cmd}).appendTo($(\'
This should help: WebView threads never stop (WebViewCoreThread, CookieSyncManager, http[0-3])
Basically you have to use reflection to access the WebView's onPause/onResume methods to really make it pause and resume.
