Couple of quick questions. Is there a way to make my phone stop searching for wifi. I turn it off then look at my phone and it tells me there is open wifi. I never use wifi so I have no need for this. Also is there a fix for the car dock not charging while using gps

You on ICS or GB? Go to settings>wifi>hit menu capacitive button>advanced>check never auto turn on Wifi. That should take care of it. On the same menu at the top there's the option to notify you if there is wifi when launching apps. You can uncheck it too.
If you're talking about the iBolt car dock sold through Verizon, Google for their (iBolt's) web site, and leave a message explaining the problem, including your address. They'll exchange for a new dock which charges properly.

Does that only work in ICS??
I would like to eliminate WiFi turning on by itself myself as a I NEVER use it, but I don't seem to have those settings in GB.
I occasionally swap to an earlier version of the kernel I'm running as I know it breaks WiFi, but there has to be an easier way to do it than that...............

I was thinking that those settings were in GB as well. I can't remember for sure because I've been on ICS for a good bit. I know the advanced menu is there. Just not sure what all was on it.

Yea I'm looking at that exact same screen in GB, except that one line isn't there.
It goes right from best Wi-Fi performance to Wi-FI proxy, that additional line your SS shows isn't there in GB.
Is there something in the Sleep Policy, or perhaps the main Wi-Fi screen (not Advanced). I remember having that option somewhere.
Might it be in the Power settings?
Open up the regular Dock program, go into the settings and disable the automatically turn on wifi setting. Even though it's only in there, it also turns it on when you use the car dock.

How do you turn off location "stamp" on pictures taken with the default camera
Probably the dumbest question I have asked on here, but how do you turn off the GPS stamp in pictures taken on the Vibrant?
A little more information:
This is my wife's phone, I have a G2.
She said this was not happening before I flashed the new Rom for her.
The phone is running Obsidian v2 - 2.2 froyo
I looked through all the camera, gallery, and settings and couldn't find anything do disable this option.
Tried searching the forums here but nothing came up.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

In the 2.1 camera the GPS toggle is in the camera settings/tools menu. I do not know if the 2.2 camera has changed.
This is where it is in a stock JI6 (2.1) ROM/Camera:

It shows up in the pictures you take in exif data, and apparently gallery can read them and it shows up there too.
I couldn't find how to turn it off on the froyo builds.
Do you guys think it has something to do with sharing your location on google ?
Constantly Drinking
If you turn off "Use Wireless Networks" in settings then it will not take the location anymore. Assuming you don't have the GPS on as well. I have not found a way on 2.2 to turn it off just for the camera like 2.1
No way to turn it off on 2.2 ( wtf)
Just turn off the wireless location and GPS directly.
pop into Airplane mode before taking a picture, fastest way to disable it I read somewhere else

On the Captivate, Airplane mode does not disable the geotagging. I guess it just uses the last known location?
A few questions...
Anyone use the stock photo album widget? I have one on one of my screens for when my phone is in its dock at work. It works fine when it is in the dock bc It's charging, and I have it set to keep the screen on when charging. However, when it is out of the dock, and the screen goes off, when I turn it back on, the most recent image is all it shows and it will not go into rotation. I have to open it back up and say "OK" to my selected pictures to get it working again. I don't have any battery saving or task killing aps, so I know I don't accidentally have it set to auto end on screen off. All I have is the stock Samsung Task Manager.
Know of any fixes for this? Maybe try another widget like it on the market?
Also, I came from an Atrix and they had a task manager that I just simply loved. It was smooth and simple and I could add what I wanted to an auto end list. As far as I know, Samsungs T.M. doesn't allow this, and all the apps I find on the market do more than I want it to. I don't want something like Juice defender or what not. Just something simple that allows me to put stuff in an auto end list when screen goes blank. Does stock Samsung T.S. do this and I am just not seeing it? Any 3rd party apps you suggest for this function?
Last thing... Know of any widgets that ACCURATELY show info like CPU speed and temp that is transparent? I like a very materialistic look and I am not liking the black background of the Antutu widgets.
Something that would look good with this...

First, I flashed Beans 4.3 OTA leak then his official 4.3, and both worked perfect. No random reboots or fc's. Then I just installed Sophisticated 2.0, and again no issues.
Other than the fact I keep getting a notification saying my wifi connected to my network even though it was already connected, and I always have it set to keep wifi on during sleep.
I tried searching, but couldn't find anything that sounded like my issue. I attached a screenshot of the notification I get at least a few times a day.

That is an annoyance, but thankfully one that can (newly) be turned off. Go to settings, wifi, advanced and uncheck 'wi-fi notifications'.

Thank you so much. It wasn't really a big deal, more annoying than anything. Coming from 4.1.2 I never had that, but that had that stupid wifi always in the notification panel.

(Sorry for the late reply - missed the notification on the forums.)
Glad to help - I've always hated that ongoing alert in the stock ROM. It's great to have an option to turn it off.
I love knock on, and it works great for me. But some people apparently have a problem with the phone turning on in their pocket. The Sprint ZV6 update supposedly has some changes included to address this problem, but how effective it will be is anyone's guess. I was recently involved in a discussion elsewhere as to whether it would be possible to use Tasker to prevent knock-on from working in your pocket, but I don't think it is.
I did discover another approach, though, that will work. Verified on the LS990 with BarRin v2, but it should work on any rooted G3 with a stock-based kernel. ( IF you have an AT&T or T-Mobile version, you can probably find this setting in HiddenMenu without using the Shortcut Master app, by entering the dialer codes as in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/mod-root-rid-lag-g3-t2819365)
Note that this will turn off both knock on and knock OFF. If you still want to use knock off, you'll need to use one of the many screen off apps in the play store, in combination with an alternate launcher like Nova or Apex.
1. Download and install Shortcut Master: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.vndnguyen.shortcutmaster.lite
2. Open the app and select Search from the menu. Enter hiddenmenu in the search field, and press search.

3. Scroll down and find the row for com.lge.hiddenmenu.settings.LgSrvKnockonSetting
4. Tap that row, and then tap on "Launch"
5. Change the toggle from On to Off, then back out of Shortcut Master.
You can repeat the steps to turn it back on.
Been using this since day one. Worse idea I've ever heard of, having this enabled. I'm sure other will appreciate this too.
Thanks.
also for verizon,search knock and you should find it for verizon users
Same, I disabled this right away back in Sept using the exact method posted. But awesome tutorial, pics and all. Good work!
Does it save for battery if i turn this feature off?

Marginally, yes but barely noticeable. Unless it was constantly going off in your pocket, thats a big battery waster, lol.
It has been a while since I did this trick so I'm doing my best to recall exactly what the tutorial said. I couldn't find anything via the search function and googling so I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction to help me reverse it.
So roughly a year ago, I found a performance tweak trick on (I believe) XDA that required you to use AndroidSDK to change some settings on your phone so that it, if I recall correctly, forced some of the background apps to close (or something similar...I could be completely wrong about what it did). It was a non-root method. One of the key distinctive features of using this trick was that you would not be able to see the power consumption of each app in the phone settings anymore.
Since doing this tweak, android auto would constantly disconnect and reconnect from my car and I suspect that the tweak was causing the problem (Note: I installed the ability to use android auto via a 3rd party tweak and not from the dealer). I did not have any issues with using android auto until after doing the performance tweak, hence my suspicion. I also don't have a spare android to troubleshoot whether the problem is actually my phone. There hasn't been a noticeable difference in performance on my phone either after using the tweak so I would like to reverse it.
Notwithstanding my ability to find another android phone to troubleshoot with, the alternative option would be to do a factory reset on the phone.
@DevlicK
Do you mean you can't access the app power monitor settings on your Android device?

I can, it's just that the power consumption of apps page doesn't show anything/
@jwoegerbauer
Clarification: Battery usage for software shows up as 0% and the Power Consumption Page does not show any apps using battery power (but I can still see the hardware usage e.g screen, gps bluetooth etc)
