I recently flashed CleanROM 4.2 and I have noticed my WiFi is randomly changing. For example, earlier I turned it off because I noticed it was on and I turned it off, now I see it is on again about an hour later. In addition, this morning at home I had the WiFi turned on and connected to my home network, the phone kept dropping the connection, only.to find that WiFi was shutting off in the settings. I doublechecked my phone settings and I have it set to "always keep WiFi on during sleep" and I have it set to "never auto turn on WiFi". Can anyone help me with this?
Thanks-Dan
wrong section, but i have the same problem.

Sorry, just figured this is where it should. I'm sure the mods will move it to it's proper home...
Others have suggested turning off "auto WiFi" in dock mode. We'll see what happens....

The dev section is for threads that involve direct development only.
E.G. You made a ROM, you made a tool that helps Dev a ROM or flash ROMs, you discovered a new root method, ETC
A good rule of thumb... If the main point of your thread ends in a question mark... then it probably does not belong in the Dev section.
As far as wifi... have you checked all the modes that cause wifi to enable automatically when you open the market app or browser?
I guess Verizon wants you to be on wifi as much as possible, and the setting default to enable wifi when you open those apps.
having this problem as well. I have checked to not turn on wifi under wifi settings, deleted car and home dock apps, not sure what else could be causing it.
its an ics problem, I believe. I have it on joels rom, too.

doesn't fix it. it's an ICS problem
wifi will turn itself OFF too for no reason, even when you have 100% signal. it's an ICS problem.
Not sure if related, but I have noticed that the Wifi doesn't seem to be as strong on the rezound as it was on my Incredible. The incredible had amazing far reaching Wifi abilities compared to this one.
Just got the Rezound, has the strongest wifi signal then my Thunderbolt and my Samsung GS2. Running stock for now, this is the most dependable device I have owned and I have many phones. Everything just works the way it's supposed to.

It is not just an ICS problem. My phone is unlocked and rooted but I still have the stock ROM. My wifi also shows 100% but has turned itself off.

Thanks but I did try the dock mode setting and it still turns off while showing 100%. It may last for several hours but then will disconnect. To get it to work again, I have to toggle wifi off and then back on. Then I'm good to go for a little while again.
I tried to find this dock mode setting and couldn't find it. Where is it?

When you open dock mode from the app drawer and hit the menu capacitive button it's in settings. Auto connect wifi when plugged into dock, or similar.
I don't have dock mode in my apps list, to get to it I have to tap the clock on my home screen, then tap the dock mode button.
At any rate, the setting in dock mode seems to have fixed my WiFi issue, its been fine for a couple of days now.
go to wifi settings and click on menu and click advanced...you'll find wi fi sleep policy, click on it and chose never...thats it!
Wrong, that's not it. Like I said in my original post, I've already looked to make sure that's not it. I've just learned to live with it as one of the quirks.

hey all
I am looking for a widget that can simply turn the screen off, I press and the screen goes off.
I have searched but cant find anything that works
Thanks
I have seen a couple of apps in my travels go have a look in the android development I'm sure an xda member cooked one up a few weeks back,and from what i remember android does not switch off straight away like WM does it has a delay built in
I was looking for one of these some months ago.
I was told that there wasnt one which stopped the screen straight away, however I found on. UNFORTUNATELY, I can't find it again. (I am on my third Streak)
It wasn't badged as a screen off, but it was a single widget which locked the device (aka turned off the screen, as if you had pressed the power button)
I would love to find it again!
Screen off
http://android.konreu.com/applications/screen-off/
I don't see the point myself, why don't you just hit the power button
Yyhat link doesnt work no item found, the power button is in a weird spot for my liking and since i use no lock and open with th volume button
Then why don't you do a google search for an android app called 'scren off'

Pick up your android phone and go to somewhere called the 'android marketplace' you may even have an app already installed for that so no need to search for that thank goodness.
In the search bar enter 'sreen off' it should be at the top of the list
i have a question, maybe this is android related, maybe streak, not sure.
I come from WM6.5 background, so forgive me if this is a 'duh' question:
when I am listening to music, or recording or, anything really, if the screen turns off, it shuts the whole phone down. including wifi (loses connection)
is there a way to have the screen dim/off to save battery, but still be active.
biggest is music/recording. when I am recording something (meeting, etc) I have to force the screen to stay on in order for it to continue recording. same thing goes for uploading to youtube - i have to keep the screen on for it to continue it's connection.
Am I missing something??
Thanks for the help
try an app called "free power widget"
you can adjust the screen timeout so it is short or long
you can easily adjust screen brightness
you can adjust the wifi lock and a bunch of other settings.

There's something wrong with your connection, (that's your internet one, not the one within your head the connects your lobes together, especially the lobe containing common sense)
What you could do to stop you from losing your Wi-Fi connection when in sleep mode is try going into Settings -> Wireless controls -> Wi-Fi settings -> press menu button then Advanced -> then select Wi-Fi sleep policy and change the option to Never. This should I think keep Wi-Fi active when your screen is off (stops of the phone from switching to mobile data and by default is set to do so when the screen is off).

Coming from Windows Mobile, a SIMPLE power off app is hard to find on Android. I had one on my WM Touch Pro2 on my homescreen- simple tab and off.
Over the months of trying to find a simple FREE app- this is what I have so far encountered.
Screen Off .99 and Power Off .99- are available. But due to a so call security reason for Android, it will not power off the phone immediately- screen is off- but you can see the hardware lights on. I found another tip that you will have to modify an API to do so.
Yes, many, many, many, Google searches and this is what i found.
You can try a widget called Extended Controls. They are awesome and include a screen off widget, I use it all the time to turn my screen off.
Widgetsoid offers a hugely customisable power control widget which includes a screen lock button. It's working brilliantly for me on o2 2.2!
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
I've used Widgetsoid widgets for years, but on my new Razr Maxx, the widgets to separately turn on/off the 2g, 3g and 4g connections just don't work. Most of the other toggles (e.g. WIFI, Bluetooth, etc.) work just fine.
I live in a city with great 4G, but my work often takes me to farflung places where cell connections are spotty. I find that my battery life improves if I can control these things. For example, if I'm not downloading a bunch of stuff, it's best to leave 4G turned off. If I'm in a very rural county, the only reliable signals that I'll find are 2G. In that instance, I save battery if the 3G isn't constantly trying to connect to a distant tower (or worse, getting a flaky connection that drops frequently).
Does anyone know how to tweak Widgetsoid to make this work reliably? If if not through Widgetsoid, what about some alternative widgets that do work?
Android (Google) doesn't allow any apps to get the rights for toggle between 2G,3G etc.
They only can Link you to the Menu.

I use the same app, but you can also use the phone info app, almost exactly the same. Cdma only(prl) for 3g, there is also more options but haven't investigated them all thoroughly.

Thanks for the tip, but this is not what I was hoping to find. If I were using Gingerbread, it would only save me a few keystrokes or taps compared to just going through the Settings Menu. I'll try the toggle that you suggested and if it is "smart enough" to do the job under ICS.
FYI... under Ice Cream Sandwich, the System Settings to turn off 4G is hard to find (see below).
MANUALLY DISABLING 4G ON ICS
Use the "hidden phone code" "*#*#4636#*#*" to
reach the "Testing" screen:

Then select the pull-down for "Set Preferred Network Type."

LTE OnOff takes you right to that screen without having to remember some cooky number to dial, its really not that hard hell unless you disable the splash screen it even tells you what to select, honestly its quicker then GB, interms of what you had to do there, the downside is after each reboot you have to remember to go back and reset it.

What custom ROM are you using? Mine does the same (running MeanROM 2.7). Some ROMs are coded to purposely shut off pretty much everything except regular phone/text communication when the screen is off to save optimal battery. Personally I haven't looked into it enough to figure out how to change it though... :-\

That option has already been selected. Does not work on Wifi or 3g.
I use juice defender ultimate and I haven't noticed them stop if I customize an app to be able to run with screen off.
If I'm downloading a torrent I plug it in the wall and select never turn off in display settings. Just turn brightness down to like 5%.
I noticed it was an issue on the og EVO for me. Idk about anyone else, kinda just fixed it without asking about it.
When I was running a Sense Rom, even with those settings above, downloads would stop. I think it has to do with how many other apps you have running. As soon as Sense decides it needs some RAM to run a different app, it will kill the app currently downloading regardless of whether the DL is finished or not. At least that seemed to be my experience, and yes turning off the screen would also kill my dl's sometimes. I would recommend going to CM10 or another AOSP ROM. I have found that the latest CM10 builds Kushdeck is putting out are pretty much solid. I have been using it for a daily driver for about a month now, and I don't miss Sense at all.

So I got my dna today
Im just at the point of almost having it setup like I like but I have some questions/issues
I wanted to try the stock email but when I put in my aol email (yes I know who uses aol still) it tells me login details are wrong something to that affect when they aren’t
Is there any settings in the camera I should set to get the best pics I can overall
I have it on wifi and at one point today I had no connection even on wifi and had to switch wifi off then back on to get it back don’t know if this was a fluke or if this is something I will experience again anyone else have this?
I use to use an app called folder organizer is there any other newer apps that are recommended to make folders..it seems the sense folders wont let me put other things besides apps in them I like putting bookmarks etc..
Since the stock email wasn’t working I went back to what ive been using for years now and that’s k-9 email but for some reason im not getting it pushed as fast as I should I have my old phone set on wifi right next to it and im getting email right away on that and on the dna an extreme delay or I have to manually hit check mail
Also I noticed with the notification light it goes off after a bit..i googled this and it seems this might be a sense thing that they have done in the past like a 5 min rule? So im guess this is on this phone too?...anyway at all around this? If not extending the time or turning it off then some sort of thing that can be set as a reminder so if its stops after 5 min then eventfully it starts up again then goes off then starts again….
and any battery saving tips i havnt really gone through the settings yet or other settings that are suggested to change?

Correct me if I'm wrong XDA but I'm pretty sure this is a built in battery saving option HTC has. Its more helpful than annoying I think. The longer your light blinks the more battery is used, may not be much but if your light blinks alot then its almost like having it on all day. Since the DNA has two notification lights (front top right and back top left) I think this is very beneficial There is no option to disable the 5 min shutoff sorry.

My best battery saving tip would be brightness. Since the DNA has the most powerful screen it uses a good chunk of battery life to keep it lit. On an empty home screen page get the "power dashboard" widget. With this put Brightness to 1, Timeout to 1, and turn Auto Sync to Off. Use WiFi and Bluetooth as needed.

Try to setup aol through other/pop email, and insert your login details.

you drag an app on top of another. And if you want to add a bookmark you just drag a bookmark on the folder
so my wifi issue is legit and seems other people are having it too
it seems when its asleep for a bit i awake it and then disconnects flashes to 4g connected back to my network but i have no activity at that moment then i have turn wifi off and on to get it back
i know its not my network no other problems with over 5 other devices and never had a problem with any phone for years

thanks but just ran into a reason its no good for me it has a limit of how many things can be in the folder
For battery, your typical tips apply. Lower brightness to lowest acceptable level. Screen timeout as low as you can stand it. Sync only those things which are absolutely necessary.
For camera, there's a thread here somewhere about getting better low light shots. Something like turning exposure up and setting iso to 200. Look around you'll find it in here somewhere.
I have had no issues with WiFi disconnects and I'm on WiFi all the time.

is this normal or is something wrong with either gsam or android, which should i trust or am i reading this wrong
another question is it better for battery life to use auto brightness or if i kept it at this level all the time?
speaking of battery life trying to figure out if my battery is doing good overall when i wake up i sit and check facebook,open 2 or 3 other apps go to a few sites and do some messaging within 35 min sometimes a min or 2 goes with the screen off in that time frame and i go down about 8-10 percent battery does this sound about right?

I've turned off auto-brightness on my phone, but I notice that under certain situations, especially under bright conditions, that my contrast will change automatically. I've noticed this when using swiftkey, that my black theme will automatically lighten to grey. Is this normal?

I've seen this before in other Android devices.
While this isn't a complete explination, it's what I've come to know
Like other smartphones, Android phones use an ambient light sensor to automatically adjust your phone’s display brightness. This often doesn’t work too well.
It’s up to each Android phone’s manufacturer to correctly calibrate the auto-brightness feature, and they generally don’t do an amazing job. The phone may go from too bright to too dim without anything in between.
Lux is a third-party app that allows you to easily calibrate your phone’s brightness sensor, saving you battery power and reducing eye strain if your phone is normally too bright in dark rooms.

This said, someone may have more luck from the hidden menu.

So I've come from Samsung devices and am a little curious if download booster was something from Samsung or from Verizon? I notice when I have Wifi enabled my 4g connection greys out. Is there a setting to use both on the V10?

Mine does that when I'm low on signal from the tower, mostly in my office which is in my basement.
I believe it does that to save battery trying to keep the cell connection up, but I could be wrong.
V10 versions
I'm trying to buy a v10 but I don't know witch one is the international version and at the same time its not dual sim device
Can u please give me the right phone to be used in the middleeast ?
Has anyone tried to adjust the height of the keyboard in landscape mode? I find it too scrunched down. The settings has a slider to raise or lower it, but I can't get the slider to work in landscape mode. I think it might be a little bug. Works fine in portrait..
I'm currently using the TMO variant of the V10 (H901), and the smart lock does not seem to work when using the trusted places option. I have tried deleting all my trusted locations and re-enabling them. I have tried turning the location settings on and off. Nothing seems to help. Smart lock works fine when I have my bluetooth headset connected. Has anyone else had this issue? Any ideas what I could try to fix it? Thanks in advance.
I'm trying to root a V10 (LG-H900) on AT&T
The 'adb reboot bootloader' will only reboot it, and it does not bring up the bootloader.
How do you get into bootloader? Power + volume down does nothing.
AT&T just pushed out an update. Did they kill rooting?

Is there a way to pull down the top bar to just see the notifications such as emails etc without seeing all the settings? I could do this on my CM rom on my old note 2. Maybe I should be doing it a different way on this phone? Mainly trying to quick glance my email and archive it if necessary
I have quick question i was able to get v10 to unlock the bootloader but when i try to install twrp it says i have install but it didnt install. So when i read somewhere else in the forum. You have to do in various way. So when i try recoginize my device with adb its not recognizing. Any help will be appreciated,

Assuming you have USB Debugging checked under Developer Options,
First open "My Computer".
Watch under your Local Disk drive(s) in My Computer when you plug the phone via USB to see some kinda drive with an LG logo popping.(Beware it will disappear after a few seconds)
Once it shows then click on it; another window will open up with a few folders and files..
Look for the folder with the keyword SWUpdater in the folder name (or something close to that name).
Install the SWUpdater driver software found in it.
P.S: If it doesn't show the LG Logo type drive when you connect the phone to your computer, leave it connected then go to your notification on the phone. Click on "USB Connected" and switch between "MTP" and "PTP". That will force the LG to show under My Computer.
I did that using Windows 7 for my Verizon V10. Good Luck!!!
Ok, silly questions, but I've searched and can't find the answers...:
When using the camera app with the front camera, what is the slider at the bottom of the screen that goes from 0 to 8? Also with the ffc (in settings) , what does the icon with 2 faces (they're either facing the same way, or opposite ways) do?
So, my OK Google was saying that there was no mic, so I figured I'd uninstall and install it from the play store. Only now, the extra settings are gone. Like, the settings to say OK Google from any screen and the lock screen as well. Only option is to say it within the app. Is there any way to fix this? I'm on T-Mobile, rooted stock
Not sure if this has been mentioned, but has anyone noticed the colors on the screen occasionally going kind of greyed out.. Like lighter and more grey than usual, almost sort of inverted or grey scale, but not entirely? Its not a huge deal and it doesn't seem to last long, but happens sometimes. I haven't pinned down if it has a cause, or if it's just my phone or what. I wanna say it mainly happens outside in daylight rather than inside at night, but I'm not positive. Anyone noticed it also?
I was wondering if anyone knew. How to port roms? If so I have this rom I been using on my stylo that I would love on my v10 rom found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3265566 permission given. If you can port on me please and thank you
Can. Anyone make real ultimate icon theme work for v1o I want my status bar icon to look 2d look more realistic
