just got my dna a few days ago and love it, much better than my d2g. anyway, i'm annoyed by all the stupid icons in the notification bar and was wondering if there is anyway to turn some of them off. like the location icon, even thou i have all location services turned off. i also dont like the wifi network available icon, is there anyway to stop the phone from searching and notifying on its own? i've looked all over the settings menu but cant find anything. im not rooted yet but are there any apps to help with this without rooting?
thanks
Settings > WiFi > Menu > Advance > "Network Notification" turn off. You can also modify the build.prop file ex:
wifi.supplicant_scan_interval=135
You can add to build.prop under Additional build props if you don't see the scan interval.
I don't know what ROM your on but I'm on CM.
His: HTC DNA
Hers: LG Optimus G

I wanted to know fro you all out there if the was a way that the 3G will come on when it is needed and then turns it self off after it is done? Is there a setting or and app that i can use? I hate having to turn it on and off when i want to use it. Help me please i am kind of new to android but i am loving it so far. And always thanks for your help.
Ok I guess I am going to be the nice guy here.
To stop apps from constantly pulling data:
On the home screen, go to: Menu > Settings > Wireless Settings > Mobile Network > Uncheck Always on mobile. Than accept the dialogue that pops up that tells you some apps will be angry.
Now if you want to toggle if apps can use data, put the mobile network widget on your home screen. Click it on to allow, click it and keep if off now to not allow data pull.
Hope this is what you are looking for.
Hi there
I have a Motorola Atrix 4g, from ATT.
Everytime I turn off the screen I spot getting any notifications(im talking about any new email, whatsapp msg or google talk notifications). And i get them after I turn the screen on. I looked for battery saving options but didnt find anything.
Can someone help me with this? Why can this be happening?
Thanks in advance
Menu > Battery & data manager > Battery Mode
Hi, I recently installed CM7.1 on my HTC Legend and everything has been running great - theres one issue that is annoying me.
There seems to be a notification that alerts whenever the network signal is lost and found. This wouldn't be an issue except my phones signal at work keeps coming and going so the notification is constantly going off.
I'm considering going back to the stock ROM. Is there a setting or way of disabling this notification?
Thanks in advance
Is it wifi or 3g notifications?
Pretty sure its the 3g notification as I normally disable the wifi
When you go into the settings menu there should be an option for notifications. See if there is a disable option in there. Otherwise, I'm not sure.
No, cant see anything specific. But theres all sorts of overrides and things in the profile bit, must be some sort of conflict
Hey everyone, I just got the ota update last night and love it! Everything seems to be running smoother than expected.
My only question is how wifi works now. It seems to just turn itself on whenever it wants. I checked settings and turned off wifi during sleep, but can't find a setting to keep wifi off when i want to. Is this a feature of ics?
Thanks for any help!
When I opened the stock browser for the first time, I got a little popup saying Wifi had automatically been turned on, and asked me if I wanted that behavior to continue. I've yet to find that option anywhere in the settings menu though.
Might want to check smart actions and see if that is causing wifi to automatically turn off/on.
Yeah I remember seeing that pop up and couldn't manage to find the setting either. Do you remember what it said exactly?
Checked smart actions, but don't have any enabled right now.

That option is gone, don't know why....in the same boat
without any normal explanation

Google either choose simplification or flat out removed the setting. As for why in some sense it makes things simpler for developers and virtually most (not all obviously). Linked two articles out of the multiple google search results below that pertain to the question.
I maybe totally going out on a limb to guess (and I am, not something I am to fond of doing honestly) since GPS/Location services only turns on when it is needed maybe the option was unnecessary?
Granted the choice would be nice, but so far I haven't seen anything in my usage that shows GPS location is a battery killer. In fact I get a lot more active use out of my phone now as it is then I did previously on Oreo, which is rather nice IMHO.

fyi...
The option seems to be there.
On the Pixel phones you can enable it via "developer options" -> "featured flag"
Samsung decided to ditch this feature flag, why i don't know.
But with tasker and my unrooted S9 i could enable the battery saving mode.
Although you can't verify i think it works.
As i use Life360 which triggers the GPS when opened and haven't seen the GPS icon since i toggled to battery saving mode.
So as lomg as it works i'm happy.
Task:
Location Mode - > Mode: battery Saving
