Just wondering if, when wifi is turned on and connected, if mobile data should automatically turn off?
I think it should but if you have Tmobile apps then it will stay on. I forgot which app keeps Mobile Data on. I haven't had Tmo apps since I first rooted.

That's weird. Does your data seem to be off on the battery use screen?
I think the app that keeps data on is the Tmobile MyAccount app.

Are you using stock rom unrooted or you rooted? Could be wireless issue or something else some folks said the latest update that had smith apk in it would shut your data off when your screen was off. That was on the 2.17 OTA software update.
So far there has never been any proof that it does that. Anyway's if it only shuts off when your screen is off that would help save battery.

Rogers stock unrooted. And i'm still at 1.20 software.
I need the data even if the screen is off, because otherwise i won't get my messages.

Did you install any battery saver apps like juice defender? Try disabling always on mobile data and reenable. Also try turning fastboot off and reboot phone after that

I am always on wifi so I don't need LTE, 4G, HSPA or 3G.... is there any way I can force 2G or edge only on an AT&T locked Galaxy Note i717? I've looked all over the forums and people say go into the menu and select that option, but it doesn't work. Same with apps, don't work. I've read flashing a different modem will enable that option to work, but won't I need an unlocked phone to do so?

Well like I said I'm on wifi all day and don't need LTE killing my battery for no reason. And, so I can still send or receive pictures.
LTE/Data is automatically disabled when you connect to wifi. No need to do anything. It will turn itself on automatically to receive/send mms.

So by forcing 2G I'm not going to see any battery improvement since it's automatically turned off since I'm always on wifi?

That is Apple's "innovation" for you right there. This is Android. Android turns off cellular data when on wifi and only turns it on when needed for MMS.
You notice how when on wifi you don't see a 4g icon? Send an mms and you will see it pop up long enough for the message to be sent and then disappear.
That is your phone automatically enabling/disabling cellular data when needed/not needed.
Ok, well to get this back on track I'd like to force 2G or even 3G no matter what. Any solution for me?
Dial *#*#4636#*#* and hit phone information. Scroll down and in the drop down list and choose GSM Only. Reboot.

Nope. Even on wifi, say If you're sending or receiving MMS it will use your data (4G or LTE). Also, unless you have it turned on while the phone is asleep, your phone will switch back to 4G for downloading or synchronize data. 2G takes longer to download information because of he slower speed which causes the phone to drain battery because the phone would still be downloading the data.

I can't select anything except for LTE/GSM/CMDA auto. If I pick anything else it reverts back to that.
Maybe it's just me, but it seems like I can't keep my wifi off.
Every time I turn wifi off it gets turned back on by itself.
I'm sure I'm just being a complete noob and missing something.

Sounds like Sprints "Connection Optimizer" here, I think there's a way to disable it, but I just deleted the APK from the system folder, are you rooted?

After you uncheck it, if you're rooted, use TB to freeze or uninstall so it never comes back to haunt you. I've been freezing apps until I decide if they're fully safe to delete and that I'm sure I won't want them.

Connections optimizer isn't onlyfor Sprint. Fix is probably the same, but might be named differently, but similarly.

Have you tried a factory reset?
Or toggling the data modes?
If neither of those worki would return the phone, as it wouldn't be the sim card which only affects 4g.

This just happened to me a few days ago. I used Odin and flashed the latest image. Then I did device reset under settings. That brought it back for me. All data on the internal storage gets erased though. If all that fails, you can use one of the code in the pictures attached. That should work. Hope it helps.

It is still working on my phone. Is it making the phone switch to airplane mode when you click roam only? Mine doesn't always work switching back to home only, or automatic mode, but it does switch to roaming for me every time. You may have to switch between a few different settings before it starts working or something. I got mine working when i posted this, by messing with settings, and it has worked since.
are you on RC 2.11.1? and did you buy it on the play store when it used to be on there? I got it on the play store a couple years ago, so it installs 2 other "versions" for checking my play account or something, so maybe there is something different in the app?
In the Log File, does it have any errors? Mine just says the following 3 lines...
74:RC 2.11.1
126:19.0.0.1598.7
211:RC Complete
When i was trying to get mine working, i selected each phone choice and had it force roaming, then selected home only, then automatic.
I believe i even tried the "other" option before i finally got it to work on the GS5 option.
Maybe i confused it enough to decide to just play nice with me lol. Let me know if i can try anything else on mine to see how it works.
Edit: by the way, I'm still on the factory image, just stump rooted.
Yep, 2.11.1, and yes I did originally buy it on the Play Store.
When I tap on Roam it doesn't do anything. If I choose notification, it puts the notification in the status bar, but when I use the "View network status" option in RC it still shows me connected to a Sprint tower. My log file is the same, except for the numbers in the middle row.
I'll play around with it some more and see if anything changes.

Maybe that is what let's mine force roam then. There is a program I found a while back that I used to push a PRL from my computer, it's in this thread somewhere, it lets you get msl also. But it unlocks something to let you push the prl.
