Hello,
I've a problem with my new XperiaS, the wifi connection automatically switch on without reason and I can't find a way to stay off.
What can i do to make sure that does not turn on without my command?
Thanks and sorry for my english.
Hello my friend!
Try to add a widget (under "Tools" if I translate it correctly from my Greek menu) that switches WiFi on/off with a simple touch.
Hold your finger for 2 seconds on your homescreen, and on the menu select "Add Widget". From the list, choose "Tools" (the one whose icon shows a switch), and choose the WiFi switch to be added.
Otherwise, go to Settings->Wireless Connections (second choice), and remove tick from WiFi. Of course, if you need to enable WiFi again, you have to tick first...

Thanks for the answer, but i've already have a widget of this kind but also if I switch off wifi from the widget or from the Settings Menu, it turns ON automatically sometimes without reasons...
?! Most impressive!
Maybe you have installed any battery manipulation program from the market such as Juice Defender or Battery Saver etc.?
This kind of software can do that automatically if not set correctly (according to your needs I mean)...
If thats not what drag mentioned, I advise you reinstall the entire software with Sony update. Ad in repair your phone. Remember to back up everything.
It was fault of GoBattery, now there is still a bug because the phone tries to switch on the wifi (sometimes the wifi icon beacames grey, but not become white, and disappear) without succes.
Thanks for the info!

Hi.
My battery drains very quickly in my area (HSDPA). But if i force GSM then the battery lasts two or three days and i only need hsdpa 3 or 4 times by day, for example
20010-04-20 (V2.9)
1) The combo box that stores the model keeps the value when the program is restarted.
2) Fixed problems with owner names starting/ending with spaces.
3) other minor bugs
2009-11-27 (V2.8)
1) Compatibility with new Bluetooth Widcomm stack (HTC Touch Pro2, HTC Touch HD2, etc);
2) Compatibility to switch band with HTC Touch HD2
3) Compatibility to switch band with Toshiba TG01
4) switching is faster because now I dont turn radio off, just unregister and register from network. No need to enter automatically PIN code too.
2007-09-25 (V2.4.2)
Compatibility with Kaiser
Changes in 1.2.3:
Fix a bug in 1.2.1-1.2.1. Auto mode didnt work properly and switch delay action too.
Changes in V1.2.2 :
Some GSM operators intercepts http not found requests and redirects to help pages. It can cause unknown effects on bandswith who tries to look for the version number in the response stream.....
Changes in 1.2.1:
Buffer overrun bug in devices with very long radio manufacturer name (caused bandswitch fall).
Bandswith now detects if is running on WM5 or WM6 so now only switch twice if switching from GSM to UMTS band in WM6 devices. So now one only version for WM5 and WM6
Dual line support with two pin codes.
If the password(s) is/are incorrect the device will sound and vibrate and show Pin Page.
Pin enable user: remember to enter pin(s) again after reinstall.

And with gsm i can use real mail but with hsdpa the battery is empty in 5 or 6 hours. I am looking a tool to switch between gsm and hsdpa in today screen. I know that i can do it in phone/options/band but it's very boring. Can someone help me?. If now i will write a little program (today plugin) and i will post it.
Thanks

as far as i know nothing like this exists
Cool Idea.
This is shouldnt be that difficult to achieve...
Use SetHSDPA.exe and link it to the Wireless Manager today plugin. Then everytime you tap the wireless plugin it then turns on/off the HSDPA functionality?
AFAIK band selection can be done changing a setting in registry, so this can be done with mortscript.
1. google SKSchema... it's a program which will allow you to do this (it's not free, but i think the price is awesome for what you can do with it), and download it.
2. Download these scripts that someone else made...
3. Drop the scripts in the \Windows\Start Menu\Programs\sScripts directory
4. Go to your phone's Settings, and choose Menu
5. Scroll down and select any of the new scripts (I am personally using the toggle script).
**alternatively, you can assign a button to it
***additionally, I use this program's Soft Reset feature to automatically soft reset my phone at 5 in the morning to make sure that when i get up in the morning the phone had a chance to reboot and has a fresh start...
hope this helps!

Does this solution allow you to switch between 'U' and 'G' on the fly? Meaning it does not need to close one connection to achieve the other and vice-versa.
as far as i can tell from the script it turns on flight mode, toggles between 3g/Edge, depending on which one you had originally when the script was run (by changing the registry settings), and then turning flight mode off...
your phone will search for signal as it normally would...
the whole process takes about 20-25 seconds.
Give skschema a try. They have a trial, so you can try before you get it if you decide to get it. There is also a Today plugin, although i've never used it, so i can't give any input as to how good it is.
in my experience with the phone, any time you change the band selection the phone goes into flight mode
The program is finished and working
Ok. The program is finished.
1) Put it in rom.
2) Create a shortcut and put it in \windows\startup directory.
3) Then you will see a circle icon at botton.
. White circle means Auto mode.
. Green circle means GPRS mode (2g).
. Red circle means UMTS/HSDPA mode(3g).
Tapping this icon a window is showed and you can click one of the next buttons:
auto: Sets auto mode.
GSM: Sets gsm mode.
UMTS: Sets 3g mode.
Close: closes the program.
Then the registry key \\SOFTWARE\\OEM\\UMTS\\OpMode is changed and the radio is reseted. And thats all.
Enjoy it...

Is the program supposed to be attached somewhere?

That is not necessarily true. If you go into the Band tab to change the selection, it does not need to go into flight mode. It simply disconnects and reconnects with the new selection.
new option
Hi. I ve added a new option.
To avoid forget to switch back to gprs after use hsdpa, when you tap on UMTS appears a dialog about "limit time" with options:
no: No limit
1, 5, 30, 60, 120: After x minutes the system switch back to gprs.
There was a problem cleaning the notification when the app exits......
New release....
Thnx loads. I'll give it a try.
Thanks
danielherrero,
Great job, it's working on my 8525. It's just what I needed thanks.
You' re wellcome....
Thank you. Going to put it on my 8525 as they roll out 3G here in the US I think this will come in very handy.
Take Care!
Weekend App
Well done!!! Thanks...This app works great.
This is my weekend app. As soon as the weekend starts I put the phone into GSM mode only. Battery life is far better. I don't need UTMS on the weekends....when i do....2 clicks and I'm in UTMS...2 more and I'm back to GSM.
I love this plugin! cant get easier to switch auto -> umts, and umts -> auto! thanks!!
I have down loaded and am using two great cab files that I am now using on my Sprint TP. One is BT on/off, and the other is WIFI on/off. In particular I have mapped BT on/off to a soft key on my TF3d home screen (easier than having to take 3 steps to access comm manager) Quickly turn BT on and off (toggle).
Does any on know if there are any cabs out there that create a program icon to turn on, and turn off the Sprint data connection (toggle it on and off, like the sliding comm manager feature?
I would map it to another softkey on my TF3d home location. I am already aware of being able to terminate the data connection via the long press option quick list.
I like to turn off the connection, fairly quick after I use it to conserve battery.
Bump. Any one know how to do this?
as far as the last line in your post...
if you have advanced config 3.3
go to
menu > more settings > connections >
there you will see an option to automatically turn off your data connection after a specific time... from a few seconds to hours...
ive set it to 1 min... seems to be workin.
Thanks, I already did that. It works, I just like to have the ability to do it manually one click.
Hi, I'm a noob when it comes to smart phone setup, but saw the success of people here getting setup on t mobile with the Sonys Z5's so thought I'd give it a try (got an Z5c E5823 from HK).
Anyway, setup went smoothly, except for some reason under settings/wireless & networks/more/mobile networks/ I don't have the option to enable/disable mobile network traffic. It isn't that the row is grayed out, it isn't there at all. There are only four choices in this menu (Data Roaming, Preferred Network Type, Access Point Names, and Service Providers).
Anyone know how to get this selection available? Or, is it in a different place maybe?
Thanks!
Try Settings/"Data usage", it shall be in first row.
Wow, thanks! We are now rocking on t-mobile. No idea why I was so hung up on it being in the other menu.
You can add it to the quick settings buttons (pull down buttons)
When the buttons are shown there is a little (looks like a pencil, with some dots under it), this is the editor for the quick settings panel.
Just drag the Mobile Data button down.
Hi there, so basicly im using a s9+ with pie version and my problem is that i can't download big apps or spotify lists because every time i turn my screen off, it stops downloading or updating apps and stuff.What should i do ? I tried using another wi-fi connection and also clearing caches but no luck.I also couldn't see any settings about wi-fi sleep mode in pie version
Have you tried "Keep WiFi on During Sleep"?
Open up the WiFi menu from the drop down menu at the top of the screen.
Click the three vertical dots at the top right of the screen and select Advanced.
Click View More at the bottom of the screen. Then scroll the screen down to reveal more options.
Tap Keep WiFi on During Sleep and pick Always or While Charging from the three options.

They placed the WiFi power savings mode under developer options now.
Also check to see if Switch to Mobile Data is on under WiFi > Advanced menu. If it is try toggling it off and see if that helps. The Switch to Mobile Data feature has sometimes gotten a little quirky for me and switched my connection from WiFi to cellular when it thought the connection was bad... My connection was fine, but I disabled it since it hasn't always been 100% reliable for me.

Only things I can suggest is to go to device maintenance and change the settings under battery management. You could try disabling any power management options there and see if that helps.
You could also try having your phone plugged in and charging when the games/apps are downloading the additional files.
Myself for games and apps that download additional files I just end up extending the time delay before the screen turns off or enabling the enabling the stay awake when charging (under developer tools). I revert the settings when I am done. In this case the game/app was the cause (not google play because google play was not responsible for downloading the additional files), so that is about the only way I found to make it work... Maybe this will help for you also?

Will try that, thanks ! If that doesn't work i'll probably go for factory settings.
I have that issue sometimes when downloading large files try using kinscreen on playstore to keep you screen on worked for me
Remove Download Manager & Playstore from Battery Optimization
I came across this 'fix' and it has worked for me ever since.
Essentially, I never had Wifi calling unless I had no GSM/4G data connection (eg. on the London Underground). In order to activate it whenever I was connected to Wifi, I did the following:
Download Nova Launcher or Action Launcher (other launchers may work for this, but I can't confirm that it works for them)
Using one of those launchers, hard press on a homepage and click on 'Widgets', then select 'Activities' under Action Launcher or Nova Launcher
Under activities, it will give you a long list. Go down to 'Settings'
Then under settings, select 'Wi-Fi calling' (in case there is another, choose the one that is 'calling' with a small c, not capital C)
This creates a 'Wi-Fi calling' setting icon on your homepage. Click on it
You then have the option to enable 'Wi-Fi calling' if it isn't already, then below under 'Mode', choose 'Wi-Fi preferred' if the option currently reads as '4G network preferred'.
Once chosen, you should then see the 'VoWiFi' icon on the top left.
Good luck.
Actually mods, this should probably be in the 'Guides' folder, not this one seeing as it is not a question. Sorry and thanks in advance

Does this work even if it isn't supported by your carrier? I doubt that it would
