It was said that:
Carrier has FD Enabled + Phone has FD Enabled = Good
Carrier has FD Disabled + Phone has FD Disabled = Good
Carrier has FD Enabled + Phone has FD Disabled = Bad
Carrier has FD Disabled + Phone has FD Enabled = Bad
So what "bad" effects does it do when it is disabled and if your carrier supports it? anyone care to explain?
ex.
- does it make your battery life worse?
- does it make your data speed slower?
Been testing for days but didn't really see much of a difference. Either FD Enabled or Disabled.
TIA!
anyone?
battery saving as it allows the data connection to quickly turn off/on when not transmitting data
^you mean that when FD is enabled with carrier support FD right?

Yes, it would seem that way, you can phone your carrier to confirm if they support FD, and you can get fast dormancy toggle in play store to toggle on/off
In my case turning on/off fast dormancy has minimal, if any, effect on battery life.
U asked if globe supports fd.. but you dont even know the effects? -.- lol..

I think he is right to ask even if he doesn't know its effect. Nothing wrong with that.

Yeah i know it's a good question.. but it is unnecessary to make another thread. Overriding his previous thread would've lessen the redundancy of the FD topic and this could actually help out a lot of users
Again, nice question bai!

If enabled, your mobile data is constantly running. If you disable it it goes into a sleep mode 5 minutes after your screen goes off. It also is in a sort of a on-demand state when disabled so it shouldn't interfere with new emails etc being pushed to your phone. I would recommend disabling as it will save your battery life significantly since we don't have root yet.
Hi,
On my Razr I every now and then get a message that background data has been deactivated when I'm starting Google play, however I never disable it. I go inte options (as the message tells me to) and I see that background data has been disabled, I activate it but after it while it deactiviates itself. Very irritating.
That's interesting. Are you on ICS?

Make sure you are not running any smart actions

depends on your triggers, i would check how you have it triggered to turn off.

Smart Actions
i think the other users are 100% correct. i had the same problem and it was indeed smart actions. at first i thought it was a great app, but ultimately stopped using it. the battery life on the device is so good that i can have on the wifi / gps / 3g / bluetooth and the battery still lasts until bedtime.
i was suprised that smart actions would let you disable background data...
Hi
I read for other handset ways to manage the "fast dormancy" feature.
More info here (i didn't see the video).
The summary is that if your carrier does not implement this feature, your phone wastes battery.
Do you have some new about this for our phone(s)?
Someone knows how to detect if fast dormancy is used by carrier?
Do you see any kernel wakelocks by fast dormancy in "better battery stats" app?
Hi
Here are my stats... A lot of tipe spent for fast dormancy.

Well, apart from HW related, is has to do with your telecom provider (if it's supported or not)
A good answer is this one on this topic
If you search XDA there are hundreds of references on Fast Dormancy
Have a unlocked Rezound that I'd like to use as a media device.
Why? Because the device continues to work well. I have a spare battery and chargers, holster and case. It can do wireless (802.11). Plus memory space as well as SD card capabilities.
I think if it was possible to disable the cell modem within the phone, battery life would be increased. Would love to find a ROM that minimizes the bloatware, allows you to disable the cell portion of the phone but maintain the device's other functionality.

I haven't seen a rom that lets you kill the cell radio all together and still keep wifi on. You can kill mobile data or put it in airplane mode when you don't need wifi either.
Install LTE on/off and turn off radio, WiFi can still be used, done.

@rjh20136 I'm partial to Sense ROMs and recommend Ineffable Deus for Sense 3.6, EclipticRez v9 (MHL fix included) for Sense 4. I use EclipticRez with either Sense 4 Car Mode display or XBMC app as a media device. I also use Poweramp and Google Music with ViPER4Android sound mod for car audio. Snuzzo's Funky kernel 3.7 version can underclock to 96 MHz to save battery more, try it out.

As Pmania said, toggle Airplane Mode first and then toggle WiFi back on by itself. I do this myself.
You can also access the Phone Info hidden settings on some ROMs by punching in "*#*#4636#*#*" on the stock dialer.
This panel controls global radio settings and can toggle the cell radio on or off independent of Airplane Mode. Do be careful not to select anything you're unsure of like changing regional frequencies.

To be fair, the grammar and lack of uppercase letters in the first post did not make it 100% clear you meant a specific app title rather than a generic toggle just for the LTE band. Mjones and likely others misunderstand at a glance.
I'm guessing the app is "LTE OnOFF - HTC Thunderbolt" by Cunning Logic. This app accesses that same hidden Phone Info panel accessed by the code I previously mentioned. Would recommend for the OP if the Airplane Mode trick is not preferable and the dialer code doesn't work on their particular ROM.
Other useful apps like Battery Monitor Widget can access the hidden settings too (BMW does it under the main menu > Tests button > Phone Information)

Actually it does.
I'll be trying this. Will back phone up just in case I ever have to press back into service but I see an S4 in my near future...
I second the *#*#4636#*#* method. There is a button in there to do exactly what you want.
