Is there such a thing? Possible?
I'm not talking about a toggle that'll disable it completely, but will turn it off when not in use... and on again when you start using it.
Thanks

Buy some nfc chips! I'm buying some soon, so when I go in the car it will turn on Bluetooth, data and navigation, and turn off WiFi. Then when I get to work it will turn off Bluetooth etc..

Better yet, breaks the connection when the screen is off, and connects back when screen is on.

Doesn't juice defender do something like that?
Ummm or you can just hold the power button and toggle it on and off.....
OR pull the drop down bar and toggle it on and off from there

What power saving utilities do y'all use for your wildfires? Unfortunately, toggle data hasn't been working with juice defender but other than that I'm using mainly that app to make my wildfire last longer! Also have y5 although it seems obsolete now with v3 of juice defender.
Really want toggle data, might even go back to froyo soon because of that

Do you mean turn 3G or mobile internet off? There's settings in CM7 to do that....
No I mean it used to toggle data off when screen is off and only turns on when screen is unlocked. I don't want to toggle it manually every time I turn the screen off.

Do you overclock your wildfire ?
You could try creating a serparate profile to lower CPU speed when screeen is turned off.
Or best way to save power, don't use it

There's an app by a dev here on XDA called SuperPower I think, it's also on the market. I don't use it anymore but I remember it could successfully toggle data according to screen state
Hey does anyone know how to remove the Vibration Icon from the task bar (considering that now when Vibrate is selected to always on it shows) on AT&T Galaxy S2 w/o rooting or anything like that? Trying to keep this one root free for at least another month. LOL
Thanks in advance
I was wondering the same thing, It's fairly annoying. I think Vibrate uses more battery, so it's kind of a reminder that you could disable it for better battery life.
Same here! I am used to my Cappy and still keep thinking that the ringer is off because it is showing the vibrate symbol. I keep the vibration on because I would never know it was ringing in my pocket otherwise. It would be nice to be able to use that valuable real estate in the notification bar on something a little more useful.
I was just wondering the same thing. I carry my phone inside my pockets I can't disable vibration I need it just in case I don't hear it ring.

settings-->Sound-->vibation-->only in silent mode
No. This is exactly the opposite of what we are wanting. We want to have vibration working at all times whether loud or silent but not have that dumb little icon in the top status bar
Don't see the point of having that annoying icon on the status bar at all the times. Also who's idea was to put the airplane mode toggle on the status bar , I would had prefer something more useful.

Yeah really! Why the heck would you put airplane mode toggle in place of something way more useful like a ringer toggle?
You guys make a great point about the Airplane mode I don't know what corporate big shot made that call! It would've been much smarter to have kept the ringer toggle there like @damon20r stated.
Hopefully someone will figure out the annoying vibration task bar icon sooner than later.
The Cognition X2 ROM is working on these issues. Primarily getting rid of the vibration icon and changing the flight mode toggle to Vibration+Ring/Ring Only/Vibration Only/None.

I noticed my wifi dies out when locked and getting bad battery life. I took a three hour nap and if went down 15-20%. I noticed my bfs galaxy notes wifi is constant(using the same wifi) even when his screen is off and he's at 14 hours at 40%.
So i guess my question is what is the norm as far as wifi connectivity goes and why does mine disconnect and his stay on? Defective device?

U can change the settings under wifi settings, press menu and then advanced settings.

Holy crap thank you. I had no idea there was an extra advanced menu. =]

Not really sure why this is kept under advanced settings menu..how i'd do it..
Wifi toggled off, hide wifi sleep policy.
Toggle wifi on, wifi sleep policy shows up underneath. Press on this, notification bubble(similiar to how you pick your ringtones/fonts) pops up with the two or three options..
I never understood the need to hide things in "Advanced Menus", just only show what's pertinent to what the user has enabled.
My battery was draining really quickly before I did this. Now everything is much more as expected.
Stock 3D, never rooted/flashed.
after ICS:
-power and volume button reset no longer works, have to pull battery
-pandora does not work at ALL on 3g, loading forever, works fine on WIFI/4G
-battery consumption has been horrid, maps bat usage was high, had to ENABLE latitude then SIGN OFF turning it off.. that has helped
-wifi power consumption much more than gingerbread
-enflick touch works intermittently on WIFI, could be touch issue not sure
Kind of wishing I was still on GB :/
To address each:
-Make sure fast boot is not selected in Settings.
-Known issue with the current Pandora. Download version 1.5.13 and it should work again.
-Maps eats my battery if I leave GPS on (available) all the time. Turning that off until needed helps.
-Not sure.
I do sometimes run GB ROMs instead of ICS because it can be not as good. You may think about rooting so that you can flash some of the better custom ROMs.
If you aren't rooted, do a factory reset. A lot of people have problems after updating OTA, especially with a big upgrade like this going from GB to ICS.

1) Fast boot is not enabled, still can't reboot with power button / vol buttons
2) where do i get 1.5.13? must disable auto-updates so it doesn't end up back @ 1.6?
3) what a pain disabling GPS entirely, any other work around?
I'm disappointed that you can't add wifi on/off and auto orientation in the status bar with the other useless quick settings.

If you have a rooted phone, leedroid tweaks allows u to pull down the status bar and have quick setting, wifi on/off, mobile on/off and more

I second the idea for factory wipe.
You could always root your phone and flash a ROM, but maybe you dont want to do that.

1. My phone does that too. If the ROM I'm running doesn't have a boot to recovery option, I have to shut down, pull battery, then press volume down and power.
2. I'm on my phone, but go through Q&A for the past month or so and look for Pandora not streaming over 3g (our search google). And auto update off.
3. If GPS is on, Maps will use it. I use Tasker to turn on GPS when I run Maps and shut it off when I'm done.

My ICS update went well. My EVO 3D is working better then GB. Im stock.
I am rooted.
Screen is not dimming, smart stay is off, and timeout has been changed between 15-30 seconds. Phone still does not autosleep. SmartStay is off, tried toggling it as well.
Any suggestions?
Reboot fixed it for me

Same here.
This happens every two days or so.
I'm just paranoid I will fall asleep without knowing about this and have a screen with burn in. Luckily, last night my battery was low and died so it shut off. Otherwise, i'd probably have a status bar burnt to the top of my screen.
I've found the smart stay feature to be flaky at best. I suggest people not use the feature and set a display timeout and adjust ones app settings. I know some ebook programs like to keep the screen on.

I had the same issue but since unlocking, wiping and moving to beans v2 it hasn't come back but we'll see if that lasts.

I'm assuming you are Korean based on your username... If you are playing any Kakaotalk games, including anipang, dragonflight.. so on.. kill that app after you are done playing. That will take care of it. I think that is the reason why reboot cures it.
