Does anyone know if there is a widget comparable to the sense "mobile" widget, that will turn mobile data on/off, and works with the Eris? I've tried toggle data widget and switchpro and neither of them work. Thanks!

I used to be looking out for one, but I found out I always had one!
I assume your on a vanilla rom and dont have sense? use the control panel. there's a button with a circle and 2 arrows on it.
now this doesn't actually turn off 3g, it turns off active syncing. active syncing is what drains your battery when you aren't touching your phone. so if you turn it of, it will be exactly like if you turned 3G off all together. but! doing it this way, you can open up the browser, and it will still automatically load.
like, if you turn it off, your phone wont be using 3g to constantly check on your new emails, but if you went to the mail application and hit refresh it will bring in the new emails for you.
Thanks, actually I'm trying to convince myself I could use a non-sense ROM. There are many things that I love about sense and the mobile widget is one of them.
I'm on pageplus and only have 50mb of data, so I like to keep the mobile connection off unless I need it for some reason. One time I was listening to pandora over wifi and all the sudden my data usage was maxed out. I believe the wifi radio was turned off after 15 minutes because of one of the phones settings (I've since changed that setting and haven't seen this problem). Needless to say, since then, I've been paranoid.
The suggestion to disable syncing will help but I would prefer to cut the connection completely. That way, any app that might happen to be running in the background (That I no longer need) won't be able to suck away at my limited data. Or, if wifi get's turned off automatically for some reason
Are there any other suggestions?

Thanks rv, I've actually tried that one and it doesn't appear to work on the Eris. Other people have reported the same in the reviews.

I am on page plus also, and i faced the exact same dilemma trying a non-sense rom. I couldn't find anything reliable. I know its not as convenient but what about just pushing the power button for 2 secs and then selecting turn on/off mobile network from that list. I have to do this in sense sometimes because the mobile widget doesn't work occasionally.
For those that are using roms that still have HTC Framework, then a shortcut is to long press the end call button and select the last option. Which is Mobile Network ON/OFF
Atleast that's a workaround but not a complete widget replacement, sorry
Check out beautiful widgets, it's 1.99 but it might have what you need.

u should try droidwall. am on pageplus too and use this one to control the data usage. u can block some or all apps from using 3G and restrict them to just wifi. its free. try it out

Yeah that will work fine, I never noticed that was there... but do the AOSP/Cyanogen builds have this option?

I actually have beautiful widgets, but there isn't one to turn off data.
Just to post an update for anyone interested:
SwitchPro widget works great at least on White Widow. I'm assuming it works on any AOSP ROM. I tried it with a stock sense rom previously and it didn't work for me, so I'm assuming that it doesn't work with sense.
Hi,
I have a little trouble with my new GS3. The weather widget is not updating. I mean when I am travelling from one place to another, the position is not updated. I have checked in the widget settings, the box which authorizes the widget to find the location is checked, in the location settings of the phone, the use cellular for position is checked.
Even when I click on the refresh button on the widget, the position is not updated.
I have to go in the widget settings click modify and click on current city then add and it finds the correct position.
Does anyone is facing this issue ?
same here

Enabling gps does not fix the issue.
Neither rebooting it.

I have noticed something. When I open the clock app, and go to desktop clock, it updates the location even on the widget.
I know it is a really minor issue, but I can't stand something which is not working properly.
Tried something simple?
Tap widget > menu > settings > check / enable current location and auto refresh

I have tried that ;-)
Removing the widget and putting it back worked for me

Same problem here. GPS/cellular enabled, and there's no point in auto-refresh if I have to manually remove/re-add widget every time.
What I don't understand is that the opening of the desktop clock is updating the location.
For me the weather is well updating on the location the widget is set but not the position.
And for those whom their widget is working properly, the location is well updated ?
Same problem here
Hi,
I too have been having this problem. Most annoying!! However, I have found a solution. If you put the weather on the lock screen then the widget updates no problems...just as it should.

I have the problem that when I'm not home (so not on my wifi) the lockscreen updates weather (temp + location) fine. But when I'm in my house, and my wifi is connected ... it doesn't update anymore. I have to remove weather from lockscreen and start it again.
Anyone any idea ?
GPS is off .. since I use cellular (which works for the rest)
Mine does it to. It doesn't matter which weather widget I use either. The only way I have found to fix it is either restart the device, or restart the launcher. Both solve the problem. But it's annoying to have to do so.
Same here noticed it didn't even update weather when connected to wifi.
me too here, but i add another few place i always been, it will keep refresh the weather.

Check post #3.
It is activated briefly at time of update (sync schedule, every one hour for me on my settings)
Also data or wifi need to be on at the time schedule is due to sync. If not, no sync = no update

activated briefly you say --> you mean the GPS ?
so why wouldn't it update then when I'm on my wifi.
situation: at home --> wifi connected .. no update
everywhere else --> wifi on (not connected), connected with 3G ..update fine
This issue just started the other day when on wi-fi my weather widget won't update to my city just says current location then when you touch it it says cannot connect to update to your current location when you turn off wi-fi and 3g turns on it updates to my city and yes sync is on and so is my GPS ..any help would be appreciated

I've noticed that location services doesn't work unless 3g is on. I think the phone uses it to talk to the tower to get location.

I talked to HTC today because I'm having the same issue they say it's an issue with accuweather and that they are working to resolve it. But yes this issue just started with the One x over the last couple of days. They say its mainly on the easy coast.
same problem here. when i go to the weather app it just says "no weather data available"
Okay, I've been off here for a while and can't post to development threads because of my recent lack of posting anywhere. It just keeps telling me to post here instead.
I Odin'ed Geewiz 4.3 onto my Fascinate and it works great, except one big problem. I can't connect to any wifi that requires a password be input. Reason being that the "Connect" button at the bottom of the screen where you enter the password isn't selectable. Its there, but in gray and when I tap it nothing happens. The "Cancel" button isn't a problem and can be selected, though that doesn't help me any.
If the network I'm trying to connect to doesn't ask for a password, like Starbucks or some other public wifi, then I'm okay. It'll find those and I can just tap and connect to it. Really, I'm just stuck at that screen where it asks for the password. That screen seems to be the problem.
I downloaded a few wifi managers, but none have solved this issue.
Anyone know of a known problem like this or know a fix or workaround?
Works fine with my home WiFi... Are you on the base ROM with phone and 3g data support, or the GeeWiz Media build?

I'm on 4.3 with 3g. Any ideas as to why this might be happening?
Hello everyone,
I'm a cm11 user and since kitkat came out I updated to it.
As everyone know, some if not all devices running kitkat have this problem.
Nobody seemed to fix it so in this thread I'll try to find and share here all the info about this problem and, if possible, will try to keep the thread updates with the possible fix found in the net.
Now I'm with my smartphone, when I'll be back home this evening I'll post the solution that didn't work or worked for a bit.
If anyone knows some possible solution and wants to share is free to do it here, I'll add it to the OP.
About the bug:
The WiFi works for a brief period of time. After that, without disconnecting, or giving any sign of instability it just loses the internet connection.
To fix it you have to turn WiFi off or restart the phone. After some minute the phone does the same thing , finishing into an endless loop.
Thanks for reading.
Balino.

I found a workaround, just install WiFi fixer from play store.
Trying to find a way to handle this problem but actually it seems impossible.
I'll update thread when I found some other solution.

Another thing that made it "more stable" is been reducing the refresh rate in build prop from 150 to 45( cm7 fixed value but it's ok on kk).
This could cause battery drain. Not really noticed the impact on battery life anyway
