Hey guys I've been using android since the dinc 1 and just got around to buying JD Ultimate after seeing how much battery the balanced/free mode saved me, and wanting/needing a wifi/data auto toggle. Instantly I am regretting this. It spontaneously turns wifi off when the phone is on, sometimes wont even let me connect without closing JD... Am I doing something wrong or is anyone else having this issue? and if I am not at fault how can I get an alternative to this app?
Thanks Guys

Hi all,
I seem to be having a problem with the Enable Always On Mobile Data setting. From my understanding (and certainly what happened in my previous ROM) is that if this is unchecked when the screen was off/phone not in use the G/3G/H connection was disconnected and you could see this when you turned the phone back on and it took a few seconds for the connection to be made.
Since installing VillainRom 10.3 and the latest Modaco rom this is not happening. Whenever the phone is switched on from standby the connection is still on. I have checked the awake time incase something is stopping the phone from sleeping but it seems fine. I have also been through all my apps and checked sync settings to make sure nothing is keeping the connection active but it shouldnt be.
As I have got this on two different roms I am pretty sure its not an isolated case and others must have experienced the same. Has anyone had this problem and is there a fix?
Thanks,
Michael

In my expiriences with Wifi it turns it off when the phone is asleep but the icon still remains for me at least so my guess would be it's the same for 3G etc. And it isn't like it's a huge battery drainer unless you have a weak signal

Yeah, I think its 15 mins for WiFi but have tried leaving it for 3G and its still connected. Difference in Battery is quite substantial to be honest (weak signal area). ~3 days compared to 1 day

Hmm that sucks then... Will tell you if I find a solution There's probably an app for it
cheers, Juicedefender does a similar thing but will be another app running, using battery itself. Bit of a pain, especially when I know android cando this by itself. Anyone else having this issue?
Hi there.
Getting kind of worried and irritated at the same time. My phone has recently been turning itself off and it seems the only way I can get it back on is removing the battery and putting it back in. Lock button doesn't work to turn it on. This happened a few days ago when I was sitting by a fire so I thought it might be the heat, but even then, my phone heats up often if I'm playing games etc. it also happened just a moment ago when my phone was just laying on the floor.
Has anyone else had this problem?
Anyone..?

And what ROM might you be using? Stock or a custom one? Giving a little info never hurts

Dunno what a lock button is, but when you say the phone turns itself off, are you sure it hasn't just frozen? Next time it happens, press and hold the power button for about 8 seconds. If there is something still alive in the phone it should turn off/reboot without having to remove the battery.
And yes, lots of others have seen this type of behaviour. I have personally seen this freeze, "slow" reboots and "fast" reboots. Lots of threads out there about this type of stuff. I have no idea why it happens. I don't even know if its a hardware or software (app or OS) problem. And I don't think anyone else knows either ...
My phone was returned for replacement 1 week ago and it now appears to have been sent for repair / investigation / lost (take your pick).
I'm on stock rom by the way
I have the same problem. It started a few weeks ago. I had about 4 reboots/shut offs per day.
About one week ago it just stopped.
I haveno idea why it started or stopped.

i have the same problem right now, at first i believe that because i havent set a lock, maybe my phone turn off in my pocket by accident, but today it happens again just over my desk..... curious????
So yesterday I upgraded to ICS. I am running stock phone with no mods done to it.
I am attaching some pictures for you guys to see what the problem is. The battery level starts from when Unplugged the phone to download ICS.
Now I am connected to wifi all day and night because I get no signal in this place. Its a basement appartment. As you can see, I went to bed, and for some reason mobile network signal popped on the entire time while I was sleeping. This has NEVER happened before. Then I got up and took my phone and put it on the charger and as you can see it automatically went right back onto wifi Fine.
My question is what is going on with that? My only conclusion is the cell standby which was on for 5 hours and 4 mins as you can see in the picture.
It also says switch to airplane mode to save power in area with no coverage. Is that what it is doing ?? and how do I take that off??. I cant go the whole night without having service and not getting anything.
Why would my wifi go off?
And incase you ask, no I do not have any juicedefender on my phone
Thanks guys
The phone shuts off the WiFi when data comes on... That part is normal.
However, I have not the slightest clue why your mobile network would just turn on by itself when not being used. The color of your data readings is a different color than I've seen also. Very strange

I guess I will see what happens tonight. Something is turning off Wifi when the phone goes on standby or when I dont use it for a while I am assuming. Just no idea how that can happen. There are not any settings I can set for it either to stop it. Hope some people on the board have an idea
EDIT: Wait I think I found a solution. What do you guys think?
Maybe this needs to be on always.

Yup, you should have the first one selected if you want wifi to stay on while your screen is off.
Today I noticed that although I have my wifi turned off, from time to time throughout the day it randomly turns on without me doing anything. Has anyone else experienced this? I'm thinking it may be some app or another turning it on, but I'm at work right now and don't really have time to troubleshoot it.

I too have noticed this. Here's a question that may blow away my theory - Do you use AT&T Smart WiFi?

Indeed I was using AT&T Smart WiFi. I just turned it off. We'll see if that seems to make any difference.
I use the dumb wifi (i set it on or off as I need to... need NFC tags now) and no problem what so ever.
Ok, so I stopped using Smart WiFi. I have not seen the wifi turn on randomly since.
Bet your battery life improved along the way...
Yeah, battery life has been improved. Although it's still not great. I'm waiting for a custom ROM to fix it, but Android OS uses like 54% of my battery. Pretty sure that's more than it should.

Well, I tried searching for this answer, but couldn't find it, so I apologize if it's somewhere out there. I'm VERY new to all this smart phone technology, so please bear with me. I bought this phone because it looked very similar to a tablet I currently use and figured it couldn't be THAT hard to figure out. I have figured out about 90% of it, but there are some issues that I just can't find an answer to; i.e. how to answer the phone using the swipe option. Sometimes it will work very simply an other times I can swipe til I turn blue in the face and nothing happens. VERY frustrating and I end up missing the call. Is there an alternate way to answer? Next question is what apps can I safely stopped that came factory installed? My battery is draining BIG time, as in, the phone can sit on the counter and be 100% charged and I can pick it up 2 hours later and it's at 80%. I stopped the daydream application and turned off the location option, as well, but I simply don't know what else I can turn off. I have installed a 16 mb external SD card so that I can have my photos sent to it instead of internal storage in the hopes that that conserves battery power, and have only two or three applications installed on the phone, as I mainly want it as a PHONE not as a game playing tablet, which I already have. When I click on "battery" it states that it's collecting data on usage and to please wait. After 10 minutes of waiting and nothing happening, I gave up on that option. And not to throw a dozen questions at you, but the phone also seems to be slower in changing screens. I also had it plugged into my car charger on the way to work and a call came through, but the phone didn't light up so I missed the call b/c nothing I did would make the answer screen appear! I have closed all running applications after using them to conserve battery power (by holding the button between the back button and the menu option button) and I'm at a loss for what else to do or what may be the problem. I don't know what rooting the phone is, or if that will even help. I don't know what mobile data storage is, but mine is turned on. The phone is only a couple of weeks old, so I find it hard to believe the battery itself could be the problem. ANY help would be GREATLY appreciated! Sorry if I sound like a moron, but up to this point, I was using a Samsung slide with no games/internet/etc., so this is kind of like culture shock to me!
