I recently read someone saying one can change how often android will search for a faster data connection from "always" to "specified intervals" to save battery. I now can not find the post or any mention on how to do this, if it really is possible. Could someone point me in the correct direction?
Any answers about this?
hello....i did a search for my question and all relative question before posting this and didnt find anything that really helped. i am on Jelly Beer 3.35, my problem with Google Now is that it doesnt show me any notifications in the status bar and latley it has not been showing me places near me...mainly restuarants, since thats what i usually look for. Sports scores is another thing that it stopped showing me. As far as i know everything that nees to be on is on, location, teams.... everything. could anyone give me a tip or pointer on how to get this up and going again. thanks in advance.....
Could anyone please point me to a comprehensive explanation of what individual connection status icons mean? I am talking about the G, E, etc. at the top of the screen.
I know that G stands for GSM, E for EDGE, and so on but what perplexes me is the fact that sometimes these icons are painted in solid white while other times they are sort of greyed out. What does this greying out mean? Is it that the device is reconnecting to a different cell tower at the moment? Or that no data link is currently available? Or something else altogether? It started happening recently after I changed service provider.
I would very much like to know what's going on. Please advise -- this ignorance is killing me... :-/

your assumption would be correct.
solid white shows available service, grey is limited service or unavailable.
Mister B,
Thank you for the clarification. Still, could you please be more specific as to what exactly those limitations might be?
Or better yet, could you please provide a link to a thorough explanation of all the connection status icons? That would be fantastic. I was trying to find any such document on the internet but -- unfortunately -- without success. I only found manuals to various HTC phones listing some of the solid white icons. The greyed-out ones weren't even mentioned there.

Yes I can't find solid mention of it in manuals.
an MSDN thread on this is no longer active as redirects to Windows Phone support.
seen it on several windows mobile devices going back as far as WM2003se
Definitely related to service not optimum.
If I find more relevant facts on grey icons I will update this thread.

Yes, that is exactly what I have been finding on the web. Nothing more, though. :/

Do you perhaps have that thread saved in bookmarks in your browser? Maybe we could get to it via archive.org.

Thank you for the link, however, I am afraid that none of the four cached snapshots at archive.org contains the actual images (that is, the images are no longer available at the referenced locations). What is more, the list does not even seem to mention any additional information compared to what is available in the manuals. In other words, I am back to square one.
I will continue searching and will post here if I find anything.

If I find anything I will do same ...
I'd like use Tasker to get the battery level of a Moto Mod. I'm not sure if this is possible at all... it's a bit beyond my abilities. Someone recommended this page:
https://developer.motorola.com/explore/software/mod-battery
And said it appears that it's possible to send an Intent and collect the data, but for the life of me I can't figure out where he saw that or what the intent I need to send is... Anyone know anything about this? Anyone with more knowledge than I want to give it a try?
RemoteUnlockService
As the app's name says, is a service of the system. Maybe it works with features like Smart Lock, Throw or something like that. If i find more info i'll tell you, but this is the only i think it is.
