[Q] Thunderbolt Data Disables and Won't Re-Enable - Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Okay. So I have a Rooted Thunderbolt, running 2.2.1 (can you even update at all rooted?), and I'm running Superpower. At least once to twice a day, I have to turn radio off completely or reboot to get data back on. Superpower disables data, and then when I check, it just says powering on, and it never does.
Is there a fix?
This is getting rather annoying. I'm not gonna leave data on all the time because as we know the battery life is less than a Macbook.

Try switching airplane mode on and off. When ever mine drops it always work.

That's how I usually do it. But isn't there a way to prevent this issue? Not just bandage it.

Same issue on my TB, and the only way I know how to fix is to enable then disable airplane mode. Quite annoying.
I hate when people log on just to post "I hate this phone!", so I want o make it clear that I like this phone overall, but the main benefit of 4G data is definitely diminished by the fact that I frequently have to manually disable/enable the radio for data to work at all when I am not in wifi area.
Any suggestions?

Too bad our batteries die in 4 hours if left on 4g :-D. Why can't they just make a 3600mAh stock battery?
Lol, on the topic of the data. Its definitely annoying. Though I had Data Switch installed, and after uninstalling, it doesn't fail to enable as much. Who knows. Brilliant QC.

[Q] Gin-Sen-Tazz Data Drop Issues...

Hello,
I have been having some issues with the Gin-Sen-Tazz Rom for Eris. First of all, this ROM is AMAZING. It is extremely smooth and easy to OC my Eris on this one. The only problem is that my data just drops on its own. Now, I've been wanting to list this on the [FIX] 3g Data drops on GB Sense Roms Thread but couldn't due to my less than 10 posts (or post it on the actual Gin-Sen-Tazz ROM thread). I'm not sure if my problem is the same as those on the [FIX] 3g Data drops on GB Sense Roms Thread. I've done those steps but still it just drops. The way it does it, usually when the screen is off and after a while of inactivity, it just goes out (the whole 3g/data). As if I manually turned off the data. When I try to turn it on (either via the widget/shortcuts or through Settings) it just say "turning on..." but doesn't. I have reverted back to a different ROM but remember something saying about..."Radio" something something in the "Wireless Networks / Mobil Network" check box. The data will never turn on unless i Restart the phone and even then it turns off after a while. I've installed the ROM MANY times, done all the wipes, all the Reverting Back to Stock and all that and avoided doing the *228 AFTER the ROM install. I'm hoping one of you genius' who are inventing these things, and by the way - GREAT JOB! could help me out. Please let me know if I need to add something to this lengthy question.
Thanks!!!
Does data work alright when running stock 2.1 after flashing Flashback21 v2?
I'll post a link to your question in both the 3g data drop fix thread and the Gin-Sen-Tazz thread so more people can come and help you figure this out.
Thanks for putting this in the dev forums for us... I'll have to load up gst in the am and check, but if I'm not mistaken, there are some powersave settings that might affect that. I'll report back tomorrow.
thanks!

I'll do some digging around when I get a chance too. What radio are you using BTW? Not 100% certain its that but I know on inc certain radios don't play well with gb sense. I know when I was running gst with the hero radio I didn't have and data issues but I did with the radio from Eris ota. I'll do some digging though and see if I can find anything. One thing you can try in the meantime though. Instead of rebooting, have you tried switching airplane mode on for a few seconds then back off? Doing this usually got my data back on for me instead of having to reboot.

The 3g drop is a known issue w/that rom. It happened daily to me the entire time I was using that rom. If you reboot the phone, like the others said,you will get the data connection back. I think the airplane mode trick works too.

Yes, Sir. Works like a charm...I'm using xtraSENSE right now and it works great. I've noticed, you know how on some phones/ROM's you can go into settings and have it automatically turn off data after so long of not using it. I've had that option on my Thunderbolt (when the screen is off) and when you turn on the screen the data connects, well, its kind of like that, except, it never connects and the setting reads something like "Connecting to....." can't remember the rest. I've noticed the xtraSENSE automatically disconnects data but connects perfectly when I turn on the screen.
Thanks!

CS, yep I've tried the Airplane mode. When I do that, the mode turns on, when I turn it off, the data still does not connect...as far as Radio, I'm not sure where to find that (I even tried googling it). However, when I used that link to revert ALL back to stock and there was that option to do the radio thing as well, I did that step, too. I hope that helps and thanks a mill!

Yep, Powersave Settings lol that's the name I was looking for on my previous post. And that's a great way to explain it. I think, if that ROM had an option to turn that powersave feature off, I think that would be nice only because it would not turn off on its own. But that just seems more like a shortcut and I'm certain that, for you guys, its a piece of cake to get to the root of the glitch.
THanks!!

Yeah, I wish it'd work for me. Its a great ROM, I'd put up with it until it would get fixed.
yea post 3, 4 idk 5 more minutes
I'm ganna try turning the power save feature off on this Rom and see if that works. Great idea, never noticed that before. Only thing is for me it seems to happen more often when I receive a text or a phone call when my phones locked (or "off"). I did notice that when my phone is active and I'm using it, I see the data turn off (3g icon disappears) and I just get my phone signal, whenever I recieve a text or phone call. I have not noticed this before on other roms. But then again, I have been known to be very un-observent before....

Dunno if anyone is still following this thread, but I've had a small breakthrough with the data drop issue in the sense gb roms 3g drop issue. I had power saver mode disabled all day yesterday and my 3g never dropped! Still to early to say if this is actually working or if i was just lucky, but in my experience my 3g would drop at least 1 time a day and sometimes more. So far so good. I will report back again in a couple of days of testing to let you know if this is a working "fix".

[Q] Does the data issue still exist on MTD ROMs?

Does the issue that requires you to toggle airplane mode on/off on MTD ROMs still exist?
My SD card got booshed a while back, but I now have a class 4 card so I'm considering getting back into MTD ROMs. The only other thing that bothered the hell out of me was this data error.
Thanks
Yes. Just did it. But it's not too bad. I actually had to reboot my phone to get it to work

If you happen to use wifi alot (turn off mobile data before turning wifi on) and vice versa. The wifi to data handoff isn't perfect yet. Also after you get on rom and flash modem (ec09 has been great for me on mtd) if you have the capabilitys of doing an esn swap (activating another vzw smartphone on your number and then reactivating fascinate) do that as well. But on pool party and using those tips lead to no data dropout for me.
good day.

Battery life...WTF google

My phone started dieing overnight and I was really confused because I could've sworn I had a lot of like left when I went to bed. So I did a test tonight...
Charged to 100% at 10:30pm
All background application closed, ram cleared
Wifi and GPS off
Results: after 8.5 hours of doing nothing, I lost over 75% battery.
Screenshots are below...WTF is happening with my phone?

Looks like Google talk is keeping it awake. Never used GT before so not sure if that is normal. I am having similar (but not as drastic) with ms exchange keeping mine in awake state. I am using ics alpha 2 Rom and did not have this issue on stock GB. What Rom are you using?

It also looks like your cell signal isn't all that great so it's constantly pinging. Not sure about that though. Do you need data all the time? I use 2x battery so it severs data. Saves a **** ton of battery life.

I noticed the Google Talk but I never use it, and it's installed on my phone, but I can find a way to uninstall it anywhere. It also doesn't give me an option to log out either.
Oh and I'm running the ICS alpha 2 ROM. I don't recall having this problem with GB.
I use the ICS -1 Click Odin leak (In progress of getting a better ICS loaded) but I have noticed that I run into a lot of Battery life problems when I am sleeping... If I leave my phone unplugged overnight it always dies, I have to charge it. It's weird... Because I can be on it all day with amazing Battery life, then it just dies over night with a full charge of not even being in use...
I probably need to run some analytics to see what is killing it in the first place... I always force close my apps though...
This happens on any OS, GB, or ICS...

I had the same problem which is why I went back to GB. Remember this is an ATT leak of an unfinished ROM. they have all sorts of unfinished code and debugging running that it's bound to cause these issues.

BINGO!!! Just checked some screen capture from battery stats from GB and my cell strength was no ways near as bad as it is on ICS. Need to see if any fixes are out there. It almost all tan for signal strength on ICS vs all green in GB. Same locales for both samples.
by the way, i was getting between 1 day to 1.5 days on rooted GB oc'd to 1.84 with 4 hours screen time. Did not ever see exchange using any noticeable % of battery. Now getting 15 hours with 2 hours screen time and exchange using 6% of the battery. Not going back yet because the pro's out weigh the con's.

Well that would suck if the ICS radio is a step backwards over the GB radio....

Yep, it seems like the partial wakelocks are getting you.
It will go into deep sleep but then go up to 384 off and on.
Gtalk looks like the biggest culprit.
Like I said if data is off it shouldn't have wakelocks.
Another test you could do tonight is the exact same but put it in airplane mode.
It shouldn't budge much.....
I managed to find a way to log out of google talk, so I'll test it under the same conditions tonight to see if that changes anything.
Airplane mode overnight is not an option for me since I need cell service in case of emergency calls. Generally, I do notice slightly worse reception of the previous GB ROM, so the modem might be questionable.

Understood about the calls. You can get calls and texts without data though. That's why I was recommending 2x battery which is like juice defender I think. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.a0soft.gphone.aDataOnOff&hl=en
I realized I really don't need data unless I 'want' data. I do push my emails but they won't push until I turn on data. Saves a lot of battery, especially when on LTE.....
It works well for me because you can set a delay for the data. So you can turn on your screen (not unlock) and see if you got any new texts. If not, put it back in my pocket. All without data coming on. I do these quick checks all time...
Then there is a delay time you can set after you unlock.
I have mine set to 3 min. If I do get a text, I will unlock, read it and maybe respond quickly, then put it back in my pocket. As long as its not mms that's all done without data.
If I need to get data prior to the 3min there is a notification to connect the data.
I'm coming from the thunderbolt and we had to REALLY find all the tricks to save battery life. As it given to us by HTC and Verizon it was unacceptable.
At any rate, sorry for the wind there. If you're wondering, I have no association with 2X battery. I just like to spread the word when I find an app that is useful and has helped me out.

I used to use juice defender but a couple things were a deal breaker for me:
1) First was that it rendered Cerberus almost completely useless. I could not get the phone to connect using the web interface at cerberusapp.com since the phone had no data with the screen off. Sure I could have used the SMS method of activation, but I don't have another phone to text from and it just isn't as flexible as the website.
2) Every time I unlocked the phone, I had to wait 10+ seconds for data to fully reconnect before I can start using stuff. When I unlock the phone, it's usually to check something very quick, and if I'm stuck waiting, I'd rather suffer the battery loss than to wait a bunch of times.
I suspect every battery saver app has this issue, and they can probably be configured to work to my needs, but I just don't have the time and patience to be tinkering with stuff like that.

JD Ultimate has an option that allows foreground apps to force enable/disable data, which is an easy thing to set. Also, my experience with JD is that data reconnects as soon as I unlock the phone and before I can launch an app. Battery saver apps are definitely frustrating, but I find that the correct settings fix 95% of the annoyances.
I hear ya on the time thing. Just thought I'd over up that tidbit. I don't seem to have much of a delay. 2x does allow for whitelisting apps you want to run like Pandora.

Yup, that's exactly why I don't want it. If I rarely/never use the app, I don't want it constantly connected wasting my battery and data. I wish there was an easy way to turn that off. I've been reading on Google and there were posts from 1-2 years ago that said signing out of gtalk doesn't help with the wakelock, so we shall see tonight when I test it again.

Actually, there is (sort of). Purchase an app called Autostarts on the market. Open it, wait for it to finish loading, hit the menu button, then tap the 'group by application' option.
Then, scroll thru the list to Google Talk and tap it. This will expand a bunch of different conditions that Google Talk automatically starts under. Disabling every condition will cause the app to never automatically start in the background (but the app will still launch if you manually launch it). Since I dont currently have root, I cant see what the conditions are, but you might need to leave one or two enabled if you need to receive incoming calls.
Reboot your phone after making any changes.
I should also mention that if you manually launch the app, you need to remember to manually close the app if this is what you assume is causing the battery drain.
If nothing else, you can use Autostarts to help determine if Gtalk is what is causing the issue by just disabling everything for it and watching battery drain rate.
I also use another app called Battery Widget Pro by 3c which will tell you everything about the battery and what exactly is causing it to drain.
What I would do is disable everything unless it looks like its something for receiving calls (if you need to receive calls that is) and reboot the phone, then test it by using another phone to call your Google # and make sure it works.
The point is tho to disable everything you can. I personally use Autostarts to disable every user app that doesnt either have a widget or a scheduled process that needs to run in the background to perform its task. Helps a crap ton with battery life.
So looks like signing out of google talk did not help anything looking at more detail in the better battery stats it might be google maps that's causing all the wakeups

Best battery= no data

(I hope the long time users here will bear with me while I restate something that is I think needs to be said. I see a lot of posts that either directly or indirectly reverence battery use. Here is what I do. )
I've had my amaze for a while and it has a real problem with battery use. I realized one day that I really only needed my data connection when checking, email or weather. So I now shut off the data confection unless I need it . My battery now goes all day on about 25%. I realize that some people need more frequent data, but if you are a light user, it might be worthwhile to keep data off.
I've considered buying an app that automatically turns the data on every hour our so, but haven't wanted to bother.
Note that playing games also burns through battery (due to the large screen and high processor use), but there is little to be done about that. I'm not a gamer, but when my son get ahold of my Amaze, I often bring out my spare batteries!
I'm on NRG with S-On.

Check out juice defender. The paid version has tons of options on when to turn data on or off..like screen off turns data off, screen on turns data on...etc.

Yeah, I thought about Tasker. I already own JuiceDefender, and I'm too cheap to spring for Tasker! But I may think about it, depending on how well JD works.
Back when I had my galaxy s 4g, all my old devs built this feature right into their roms. All of their custom roms on xda since gingerbread came out in fact. They would automatically shut off the phone's data completely when you turned your screen off for more than 10 seconds. And then, automatically turned it back on when you unlocked your phone. It doubled battery life easy with regular use. Even more because it was built in and didn't waste processing power running an app to do it instead.

I'm on my first day with JuiceDefender. The nice thing about JD is that it can be set to turn on the data periodically (I use once per hour). That way all the sync can occur while the phone is still off. So my weather and facebook stay up to date, but the data is mostly off.
System app built into Rom or separate app, still uses the same resources. It's not going to use less memory or processor because it's in the Rom. Just comon sence

*Common Sense; FTFY. And you're right. Now that I think about, I believe it was kernel based. Which is why it was across roms.

[Q] Battery Help needed - Moving form the Beanstown Post

Coming from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2032447&page=835
I have been having battery drain issues on beans town ROM ever since i loaded Build 7 (currently on build 10). 20% battery drop in 4 hours of sleep (even with the Wifi and 4G off)
I am trying to determine what is causing it. I have screen capture of the warnings below and the alarm screen is blank in Better Battery Stats- The other 2 attachments are from yesterday
I have Google location off.
I am strongly considering just going back to stock at this point- the drain is not acceptable.
Stock got 2 days with normal use (I have responded to other posts where they say it depends etc etc- understand that but- big but- normal use on stock for 24 hours took it down to maybe 55%- i can drop to 55% in 8-9 hours with the phone unused in sleep on this ROM )

Hi- no attitude but I am wondering if I am the only one seeing this or not. I realize this is "for free" support and people help here because they love the technology or just want to help- so i appreciate that- sorry if I gave that impression.
I live in a heavy populated area in Atlanta with strong signal, even in the house (at least 3bars). the calls i think were 1 min 47 seconds if i recall correctly. regarding Wifi- i may have turned it back on right before the screen shot as I saw the battery still going down at pretty much the same rate)
I am wondering if it is an inherent HW problem with either the battery or something with the air interface- motherboard
Based on the screenshots, your phone was on for just under 5 hours, and wifi was on for 4.5 hrs of that time, so 90% of the time. If wifi was on, but not connected and was scanning, I could see that causing significant drain. Also, do you have any theme installed? Any other changes made to the ROM itself?

I have wifi set to turn off when phone is asleep- when i wake the phone, I see that wifi is off and it will reconnect to the AP at my house.
I lost some train of thought when switching threads but i believe Wifi was off (I know it shows on in the screenshot)- which makes me think something is amiss here in HW. that is why i am pretty sure i turned off all interfaces last night and left them off.
I also have power saving mode on for the phone.
The phone is at 51% currently- I will place it back on charger to take it to 100% then turn off all air interfaces and see what happens
That a good plan?
Go into your apps and clear the data on wifi share... why if your phone is sleeping it needs to be using wifi 58 percent of the time? ...this tells me an app is waking the phone...so look and see what is causing the most wake locks...once you find the app causing the most wake locks... Delete it and reinstall... Then go into the settings of that app and set your sync to a reasonable interval... Last of all go have three hours of coffee at star bucks and use their wifi to check and see if your modem is causing the problem...
Other solutions....use sd maid and clean all system, apps, and ghost files..
Do a davlik and cache wipe in recovery
And last effort do a davlik and cache wipe with a reinstall of your rom...
Keep in mind after each step your phone will use excessive battery because it will be adding files and moving things around... SO patience is important when cleaning and installing because it may take a few full discharges and charges before it settles down and gives you a good idea of what your battery life will be like
Also I am wondering... Two days with your phone on stock... But a whole day while rom'd...i am wondering...did you play with you phone as much when stock?... I know I didn't... :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

Quick thing have you wiped both caches and fixed permissions? Sometimes that will do wonders when the phone is acting up.
Also I was just pointing out it sounded like you were giving attitude. I actually figured you were just frustrated at this point. I've seen the posts in beans thread. So I wanted you to clarify before getting flamed.
The community will get this fixed. Beans had great battery life when I ran it before switching back to Eclipse so it's something going in on your phone.

I have a great idea, get rid of the task killer or set it to manual. Task killers will destroy your battery life if set to auto kill.
Also do you have an SD card? Take it out for a few hours and see what the battery life is like. If it gets better then copy everything to your computer and format the card and copy it back.

Thanks for the pointers. I will respond to all the questions ( I think) here
I have done this previously (did not help)- suggested also by another response
1. Wiped Davlik cache and fix permissions
2. upgraded to 2.4.3 TWRP from 2.3.2
3. Wiped Davlik cache and fix permissions again (twice on 2.4.3)
4. I have not done anything with regard to the SD card- I will look at that after looking at the Wifi closer
In Wifi- I can see wifi direct share process in all in one toolbox but do not see an app- I would assume wifi is part of the kernel. I am not sure how to clean the cache or delete/reinstall the wifi direct share unless it's a .apk hanging around outside the /system/apps folder-update- i found it- cleared data and will let rthe phone run for a few hours
I did not play around with the Stock build from VZW- it was 2 days right out of the box with "normal" call use.
The reason I think it's a HW issue is that this si a replacement phone for the one the girlfriend cracked after having a new one from VZW for 20 days. That was the phone that could go 2 days on stock unaltered VZW. This I am sure is a refurb from the repair depot. I placed Beanstown 7 on it right after I got it (I practiced unlocking on the cracked original phone)

Thanks for suggestion- Advanced Task Killer is set to disable (no auto kill already). I will look at SD card once i look at Wifi
Update this morning
Girlfriend used phone for maybe 30 minutes or so this morning. I have attached the better battery Stats
I noticed that Wifi is on and running most of the time- even though it is set to turn off when phone sleeps. Is the next step then to Starbucks or can I simply turn Wifi off
When i loaded Build10, I followed the instructions.
1. Wipe Data- I did not format data
2. Factory reset
3. Wipe Davlivk Cache and cache
4. Installed ROM
Manually turn off wifi. Also do you have another battery monitor app besides bbs? Ultimately though your phone is going into deep sleep so I'm not sure what going on

Ok will do- I do not have another app but happy to buy/try another one. I do have another battery as well.
She's out with the phone for a bit- do I need to fully charge and then turn off wifi or can I reset the battery stats (assume I can) and just turn off wifi?

Is that better? Bbs should tell you what's keeping it awake. I asked about sket monitor because I was wondering what your 1 partial wake locks was.

Just my two cents...i always use titanium or romtoolbox to delete maps as google maps was draining my battery.. Also kernel can make a difference..location servives and maps keeps wifi searching and almost constantly in use and if services on and wifi off they will keep trying to reconnect. I feel running maps is a battery waste. If i need directions i will google address. Call me old fashioned but ill read,read,understand the set my path..i prefer battery life
I get almost 48 hrs out of battery with 5hrs screen...only 24 with closer to 9hrs sscreen on, was half that with locations and maps running
