I've seen this before too. Not entirely sure why but guessing it put the radios to sleep sort of to conserve battery on wifi. Like, perhaps it keeps enough signal to send and receive but doesn't need to power it enough for fast data. Just a guess though because I've still been able to send and receive texts and phone calls fine with the signal like that.

the wifi would be my guess. as for the no 3g but full signal is probably because you're standing right next to one of sprints towers.
My wifi is just as bad and my PS3 and computer are just fine... If you find out please share.

Hi I have a question, is normal that our devices eat so much battery, having the brightness in 0% ?

I think the battery statusbar is wrongly coded... I have the same results as well all the time.. Even when I don't using the screen (during night), the statusbar still shows up about 30% battery consumption...
The thing that affect battery drain the most is 3G mobile data communication in my opinion, because just turing it off, the phone got juiced up for more than 3 times as usual...

Not only turning off the 3g internet, but using for calls as well. that is why i started a discussion thread for that matter but no one seemed to respond to that. maybe it was too large to read??

Saw your thread, but I'm not that sure how I would comment or respond :X, as there doesn't seem to be any solution to fix it.
Has anyone used this option in the settings? It gives you a day old usage from minutes to data. The only thing I noticed is that it labels minutes as megabytes. Ha

Why did they call this 'Activate this device'?? Never looked at it until now, MB glitch is kind of funny though. Especially since the data usage is listed in kb!
I've used it and what it does is refresh your PRL and firmware and tries to talk with Sprint to refresh tour activation settings. Once it does it displays all your plan data.

It's funny because its entirely different from Wireless and Networks > Usage.
I guess it's their to force an activation if hands free fails, and they just needed to put something in there if the phone IS active already.

Well the usage of android is not the best way to check usage and even says on it, the one you see in the activation is what sprint sees

Whenever my phone switches to roaming on V I get this notification that my data connectivity was lost, even if I'm connected to WiFi. When I return to Sprint the message persists, i.e. it doesn't go away until I clear it.
Q: Can I disable this message somehow? It's friggin' annoying to have that little triangle in my notification area every 10 minutes (I don't get Sprint signal in my office, there is a V tower on the building literally next door).

I was trying to figure this out myself. I don't see anywhere in settings for us to turn it off though.
I also find this notification annoying.
And searched without any luck.

I too would be interested in learning how to disable this annoying 'feature'.
Thanks

When I'm in wifi the download arrow is constantly blinking. On for a sec then off. I don't have any push accounts. When on just 3g it doesn't do that at all, no data transfered unless I open a app or so something. It's murdering battery constantly connecting. I downloaded network traffic to try and see what is usually the data but it just shows "system". Using "system pannel". The data transfers are only at a few KB/s speeds so it's not large data files.
I've tried force closing all apps and it doesn't do anything. I have downloaded no apps that need constant sync. Gmail sync is stopped.

Do you use YouTube and do you have pre loading option on?

Cool I didn't even know that existed. But no, that option is unchecked.
I'll do a factory reset if needed but I don't it to come to that.
The data speeds are miniscule so it's like some odd transfer or authentication.

Now that you mention it, mine seems to be downloading quite a bit on Wi-Fi as well. My battery life is pretty good and it doesn't seem to be hurting anything. So I'm not worried about it. But just wanted to let you know mine does that too when I'm on Wi-Fi.

Over the weekend, I was out all day both days and I had pretty good battery life (easily lasted all day). Today, I was at work and on wifi all day and it died by 5:30pm (with 38min screen on time). Today was particularly bad but I've had horrible battery life every day that I've been at work. The only difference I can think of is wifi, since I actually use my phone less while I'm at work.
I've seen lots of discussion about issues with battery life that seemed to be caused by some wifi bug but I'm not sure if there's a conclusive fix other than just waiting for 5.1. Does anyone know why it only affects some users? Every review I've read says that they get 3-4h screen on time and I would have to guess that at least some reviewers use wifi.
I've disabled volte, smart network switch, and wifi calling, but those have not helped. Any other suggestions?
Gotta wait for 5.1. Same thing happened on Nexus 5.
