sorry if this has been posted before, but I am on my Flyer and can't figure out how to search from tapatalk. I had to use airplane mode to fix it, but is there a better way? I am using the newest LeeDroid ROM.

You could also use LTE On/Off from the Android Market. It's intended for the Thunderbolt, but gives access to the same menu as the above link. I just hit the "turn off radio" button near the bottom, and my Flyer stopped trying to connect to cell towers with non-existent hardware
I tried that, it just went back on again!
How do you delete the phone APK?
No reason to delete phone or telephony apk.
In settings, under "Power", untick fast boot to disable it. Reboot, and allow device to fully charge to reset battery stats. Cell standby will no longer show in battery usage stats.
The new update from HTC for Android 2.3.4 (11/14/11) removed cell standby

Easily accomplished with an app in the Market called Tasker. It's over $6 but worth it to me. There's also Locale, SettingProfiles, etc but Tasker seems more feature-rich and more actively dev'ed.
When I was not rooted I was getting great battery life using Juice Defender, spend the little bit of money to get the Pro version. It will come on at a time you select to search for gmail or MMS as soon as 15m or every hour, it also has a night sch where it never lets the internet connect. You can also block apps from reaching the internet which I did often on App that wanted full internet access (yea right), it will also turn off WiFi after screen off if you select that as well. It has a ton of options and like I said was getting great battery life while lettting it manage my phone. It will also reconnect to the internet as soon as you screen on. So there you go Auto everything.

Your phone can do that by default if you go to wireless settings → press menu button → advanced settings → disable wifi on sleep.

If your connected to WiFi it will use less power than 3g or 4g, its when your not connected and its searching for a connection that it eats up battery. I toggle WiFi on as soon as I'm home or around WiFi and off as soon as I leave.
Thanks guys fir the info I will try that

Hi Guys
I've got a BestBuy WIfI only Flyer and I'm running Paul O'Brien's HoneyComb 3.41.405.1 and it runs great.
The battery life seems similar to GingerBread but I've noticed that the thing using most of the battery is the mobile radio (via 'battery use' in settings). When I switch to Airplane mode and then turn on WiFi battery life does in deed seem to be much better !
I could leave it in Airplane Mode - I just have to put up with the irratating airplane mode lock screen instead of the beautiful HTC sense one but I'd like to understand why the radio circuitry appears to be turned on. It suggests something is not quite right.
Can anyone shed some light on this ?
Thanks
PS - Since the battery life is about the same as with GingerBread I wonder if the mobile radio circuitry was getting turned even in the standard HTC rom as well ?
Are you using Twitter? THat killed a lot of battery when I was on HC.
I don't think Twitter is running. It is installed but I've NEVER signed in.
In any case all data would surely be over WiFi? The Issue here is that the mobile radio (I.e the 3G circuitry) is appearing to draw some power from the battery on a WiFi Only Flyer !
On initial set up when it asks for if you use 3g of wifi you may have clicked next so it tries to use 3g. the only way is to wipe data and when it asks for wifi or 3g you pick wifi only.
There is an issue if you do not declare wifi only during initial setup screens then the cell standby code runs continuously trying to initialize a non-existent radio, and eats the battery. The only way to fix it is as described in the post above.
Thanks Guys
I'll try wiping the flyer. Whats the best way to back-up my apps under HC?
Regards
There is a way to fix this through the easter egg menus hidden in the flyer. There's a thread on how to do this somewhere, but I'll give the instructions here anyway.
Open the flyer's calculator app.
Put the flyer in landscape mode so you can see all the advanced function keys.
Enter: !+!+4636+!+! and hit = .
From the easter egg menu which comes up, select "Tablet Information."
Click "Turn off radio."
That's it!
Note that you have to do this each time the flyer reboots. It isn't sticky. Luckily the symbols entered into calculator ARE sticky, so just go into it again and hit equals (unless you have to use the calculator for something else, of course. I recommend downloading a different app, like RealCalc, for everyday use).

Titianum backup is what I use.
Battery life better now
Hi Guys
I used the Calculator 'Easter Egg' to turn off the mobile radio.
I've been running the Flyer ON-STOP for the last 8 hours and I've got 8% battery left. For 6 1/2 of those hours I've been watching YouTube videos (Just left it playing through my playlists) so it's been using WiFi for at least that long out of the 8 hours.
Seems like pretty good battery life to me !
Thanks again
Is anyone else having this issue? Every time I wake the phone from sleep I see the wifi with no bars, then a second later it is full again. I found a thread where One X users were reporting the same issue. I have it set to always on and even have checked the increase wifi performance check box as well.
Also, sometimes using the bookmark widget the phone won't load a webpage despite showing a strong wifi connection, I have to turn wifi on and off to correct this
Must be an ICS thing because my Touchpad does the same thing.
On a side note, my iPhone does the same thing too.
in your wifi settings hit menu and click advanced. there is a setting to set the wifi not to turn off during sleep.

I said in my original post I had that set already to always... the mneu says "Keep wifi on during sleep" I have it set to always
Seems to be a known issue if the phone goes to sleep for an extended period of time wifi will disconnect regardless of the wifi setings. We will have to wait for htc or rom dev's to fix the issue.
If you get the Power Saver Settings app (free) from the market, you can access hidden power options in ICS. Two of which are "Manage my connection when screen is off" (which may or may not apply only to network data) and "Turn off Wi-Fi if not connected." Perhaps try those settings.
My WIFI was shutting off and it is sometimes a bit bumpy reactivating it every time I wake it.
So I tried setting that setting to Keep WIFI on always while asleep.
WIFI is MUCH more stable now when waking the phone.
However, it seems to be using up battery much more quickly too.

i'm having the same wifi issue with my evo lte. I even changed these settings you mentioned and the same thing has been happening for a couple days. guess we'll have to wait on htc or devs for a fix.
i changed the ghz or whatever on my fone and it seems to not die out anymore after an hour of sleep
i have the same problem which prevents me from getting email and some other notifications on time. hope htc can fix this.
Same thing happened on ICS leak for 3D. Mikey finally fixed the issue in MeanRom.

i was going to create a new thread... but found a 9 month old thread I previously started... I'm having the same wifi issues still.... since the recent update it has gotten worse. Often times at home I'llw ake the phone from sleep only to see the wifi is not connected.... so I am missing notifications/emails while it is sleeping.
I don't notice this problem occurring at work, so I'm guessing it may just be an issue this phone has with my router (Linksys WRT54GL)... but I'm not even sure what router settings I should change.

I noticed before the update that mine would do this after midnight, then after the update I stayed connected. However it's back to disconnecting after midnight again. I cannot figure out why.

Has anyone noticed when you turn on your screen after a long period of inactivity... It seems like the Wi-Fi reconnects. Is the a Wi-Fi sleep policy or maybe a bug... Or it's just me?

HTC phones have had WiFi issues like you describe in the past where WiFi turns off when screen is off even when you set the policy to always on. I hope the One doesn't have that bug.

FYI there are two power saver modes the normal one on your status bar you can check off and on. And there is another for network connections under the battery options in settings.

I have a similar issue with my HTC One and I posted it on the General HTC One Q&A forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=41259406
I contacted HTC Support a couple times, and these are their suggestions:
1. I understand perfectly how annoying this can be. I ask you to please follow this troubleshooting. Let me assist you. First of all please go to All apps > Settings > Battery or Power, and disable Fast boot. Then, please go to All apps > Settings > Developer options, and enable USB debugging. After doing this, please perform a Cache reset. This process will delete unwanted and temporary files from your phone. It will not mess up your personal files. Just follow the instructions on the attached file. Please keep us up to date with this problem. (Tried, no difference)
2. To start, we can try to boot the phone into safe mode to see if there is any difference. To start, press and hold the power button until the power menu comes up. Then press and hold on the Power off option and a popup will appear with the option to reboot into safe mode. From there, test the Wi-Fi for a day or so to see if the issue continues. You can exit safe mode by rebooting the phone normally. (I didn't try this, but instead I did a factory reset, no difference)
3. Go to Wifi Frequency Band and select 2.4GHz (I am trying this now)
Alaris, I hope this second setting you mentioned is the one I am looking for to prevent this. Will test it out tonight.
Have a unlocked Rezound that I'd like to use as a media device.
Why? Because the device continues to work well. I have a spare battery and chargers, holster and case. It can do wireless (802.11). Plus memory space as well as SD card capabilities.
I think if it was possible to disable the cell modem within the phone, battery life would be increased. Would love to find a ROM that minimizes the bloatware, allows you to disable the cell portion of the phone but maintain the device's other functionality.

I haven't seen a rom that lets you kill the cell radio all together and still keep wifi on. You can kill mobile data or put it in airplane mode when you don't need wifi either.
Install LTE on/off and turn off radio, WiFi can still be used, done.

@rjh20136 I'm partial to Sense ROMs and recommend Ineffable Deus for Sense 3.6, EclipticRez v9 (MHL fix included) for Sense 4. I use EclipticRez with either Sense 4 Car Mode display or XBMC app as a media device. I also use Poweramp and Google Music with ViPER4Android sound mod for car audio. Snuzzo's Funky kernel 3.7 version can underclock to 96 MHz to save battery more, try it out.

As Pmania said, toggle Airplane Mode first and then toggle WiFi back on by itself. I do this myself.
You can also access the Phone Info hidden settings on some ROMs by punching in "*#*#4636#*#*" on the stock dialer.
This panel controls global radio settings and can toggle the cell radio on or off independent of Airplane Mode. Do be careful not to select anything you're unsure of like changing regional frequencies.

To be fair, the grammar and lack of uppercase letters in the first post did not make it 100% clear you meant a specific app title rather than a generic toggle just for the LTE band. Mjones and likely others misunderstand at a glance.
I'm guessing the app is "LTE OnOFF - HTC Thunderbolt" by Cunning Logic. This app accesses that same hidden Phone Info panel accessed by the code I previously mentioned. Would recommend for the OP if the Airplane Mode trick is not preferable and the dialer code doesn't work on their particular ROM.
Other useful apps like Battery Monitor Widget can access the hidden settings too (BMW does it under the main menu > Tests button > Phone Information)

Actually it does.
I'll be trying this. Will back phone up just in case I ever have to press back into service but I see an S4 in my near future...
I second the *#*#4636#*#* method. There is a button in there to do exactly what you want.
