its a question that i have been waiting for.
seems like any push data is affected because the app shuts down data to save battery.
I know you can set it so it switches on for a 1min every 15mins but if you have GTalk or constant emails being pushed, it means you wont get them until the app switches the data back on to reteive the emails/messages.
this is my understanding on how this app works.
if there is a program that auto switches ur phone to 2G when idle or screen is off, then i think this is a better solution.

This one does turn on when your screen does lol..
But earlier it stopped my data working even with screen on, i had to go into settings and disable then re enable and it worked! maybe it was cus i was at work and it tried to connect when i had no signal.. i dunno

Re: juicedefender
it's a known problem and the developer is working on a fix. I won't be using it until it is

Is it? Whats the fix? Just turning it off and back on? Because disabling JD didnt work..

This happened to me yesterday as well. Only way I could get mobile internet back again was to reboot

Hi,
I installed JuiceDefender two days ago. Since then, I have had wifi problems. I can't be 100% sure that they are caused by JD, but I had no wifi problems before that, using several different networks.
My phone is SE Xperia X10, but I understand that the app works the same way on both phones.
The problem is:
When wifi is enabled, it takes several seconds to enter the "wireless networks" menu in settings. It then takes 20 seconds entering the "wireless settings" menu. During this period, the screen goes black. Sometimes, I get a message that the wifi app has crashed. Also: When I connect to a network, it works fine for 1-5 minutes, but after a while the phone does not seem to receive any data, even though it says "connected". The same wifi network works perfectly on my computer.
I have tried rebooting the phone, uninstalling/reinstalling JuiceDefender, etc.
Has anyone experienced anything similar to this? Any hints on how to solve the problem?

Re: juicedefender
happened again today with mobile data at work, it turned it self off. does the developer know about the bug?

Re: juicedefender
yeah he does. A beta was released which was slightly better but not perfect. Guess it's just a case of waiting

Re: juicedefender
I think I might just keep charging mine but leave juice installed because I like the push notifications so ill disable juice for now!

Juicedefender is not in market anymore.

I bought this a few days ago and it has been working great but i was just prompted to update to the latest beta and nows things are not running too good.....may need to disable for a while.

uninstalled mine. just cause i wasnt getting good internet at work. seems better now. still a good app in theory. better than anything winmo had to offer.

Ive left it on but dont use it anymore.. Battery seems to have improved anyway

Re: juicedefender
the developer has released a beta to try and fix the issues. looks like the different carriers are causing problems with resuming the apn connection
Sent from my HTC Desire using the XDA mobile application powered by Tapatalk

Gotta say, seems to be working without an issue on my phone
One thing i would like to know tho is that i can see the settings to change the rules for activation of wifi and apn but i would like to set these to 1m every 30mins rather than 15mins, is this possible ?
I only seem to change it to 2m for every half hour...seems to defeat the pont in changing it...What have i missed ?

It's absolutely helped my battery life. I think it's just about doubled it overall. I haven't bought the full version yet but I do intend to. Not because I want the extra features, but to support the work done on the free version - superb!

Found the cause of Wifi turning itself off despite sleep policy being set to never...

[This is probably only UK related but may be relevant in any Vodafone region]
OK, so Ive posted here and on Modaco a number of times regarding an issue that was driving me nuts. Whenever I moved out of range of a known WIFI ap for more than a few minutes, wifi would just turn off, and not turn itself back on when I came back in range. I would have to manually turn it on before it would connect.
Well, for the past week I have been looking at the various apps on my phone and looked at anything with Wifi permissions and uninstalled each one by one to see if that solved the issue. Nothing changed until I uninstalled the My Vodafone app. Turns out that the issues with my phone auto connecting to BTOpenzone APs are related to the wifi off. The My Vodafone seems to continuously tries connecting to BTOZ APs and after it fails a few times it switches the wifi off it seems. Since its removed my phone has been working normally.
So there you have it. This will mean nothing for most, but hopefully someones sanity will be spared with this info.

I don't have that app, but thanks for letting us know.
My wifi has no problem so far.
Are you sure its not setting your AP to ignore due to poor speed?

Yeah, this stopped happening for me too after uninstalling the My Vodafone app. Maybe that's one of the reasons why they've pulled it from the Android 4.0 marketplace.

i had that problem, just realised the problem had stopped when i got a replacement Nexus and it didn't re-install, thanks

I have the same problem OP had but i don't have that Vodafone-app (though i have a Vodafone sim)
How do i change that AP (don't know what that is) setting?

4g turns on even with wifi set to never sleep.

FIX: freeze/remove T-mobile My Account App.
How can I prevent 4g from turning on when I use wifi? As of now, I have to use the setting menu to disable data when on wifi, other wise I get some serious battery drain.
When working properly the 4g/H icon will disappear when wifi is turned on. Sometimes it will act like its working, but when I turn the screen off and wait a few mins, upon wake the 4g/h icon is back along with the wifi symbol.
Also this has happened to me on multiple roms so it's not rom specific.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA App
It is most likely an app accessing 4g. Do you have tmobile my account app installed? This is what was doing it on mine - if so either freeze or uninstall it.
I actually made a thread about this a few months ago. Do u have my account installed by tmobile? If u do uninstall it or freeze it guarantee ur problem goes away
Doh! thank you both....I do have my account unfrozen...usually I freeze it. Are there any other apps that will keep 4g on?

Hard to tell without knowing which apps you have installed.
A good app to monitor that is 3g watchdog pro. The free version is good but won't tell you which apps are using how much data. It is worth the money IMO...
Feel free to use the thanks button......

All I asked was if you knew of any other problem apps. My apps are irrelevant to a static list of apps that are known to open a 4g connection.
Also, I use the classic theme here on XDA which does not have a thanks button.
So those are few and far between from me as I have to go through the trouble of changing the theme and then changing it back.
yea dude im not sure what other apps would do that but i had the same troubles as u when i first got the phone did some of my own research and investigating and that is what i found.....tmobile my account is not ready for prime time or tmobile is trying to watch are data through an app which i seriously believe. anyways when i ditched that app everything was good wifi connects when it should and 4g never comes on when wifi is on. so everytime i flash a different rom i freeze that app and if i want to know what my data usage is i unfreeze it for a minute check it then refreeze
hope i helped

Sprint SGS3 Wifi Tether closes itself...help!

Hey guys,
I am enjoying my Sprint variant Galaxy S3 a lot, but after rooting and installing the wifi tether/hotspot app, it works great, but I am having some issues and was wondering if anyone else had the same issue or if someone knew how to resolve this issue.
The issue:
While everything works just fine for a while (I am posting this thread using wifi tether) often times I see the wifi connection has dropped on my laptop and when I check my phone the wifi tether app is no longer running. I have to restart the app and everything is fine. This is getting pretty annoying as it happens very randomly! I haven't had this issue on my Epic 4g Touch at all and was just curious if maybe there was something I was missing or if perhaps others were experiencing this as well. I drop time varies a lot...sometimes I can use the connection undisturbed for 1+ hours, but other times the app closes after 10 minutes and requires a restart...its just more of an annoyance than anything as the program does work every time its restarted, but It would be nice if I could get a solid/stable connection going despite the lackluster 3g speeds.
If anyone knows a fix or could help me out, this would be much appreciated! I did a search and couldn't find any open posts about this :[
Thanks!

Edit:
Hmm... Ok It disconnects about every 15 minutes or so... I tried changing the profiles to multiple different ones (Nexus CDMA, Galaxy S2, Generic ICS) All with the same result...it disconnects and I have to click the white wifi button to restart the tethering. :/ Happened on stock rooted and I just did a full wipe and installed the Blazer ROM and seems to be the same. Thanks again if anyone has any kind of input.

Hey man...it seems like it holds on to the signal longer and when I uncheck it, it dims the screen but it doesn't fully shut off...it seems to like that and keep the connection. When I manually turn the screen off it will disconnect me again. I hope its not my phone! Its definitely better than before!
Well unfortunately, I always have my phone plugged in when running the app so the screen being on isn't a problem for me.. there are some apps out there ( i can't seem to remember the names right now ) that will try to prevent the app from being killed by android's task manager, i'd look into them... good luck

What app to turn on/off data periodically?

I have 4G LTE unlimited grandfather plan on my S3. But as you all know, the battery drain pretty quick with 4G LTE. I cant even last a day with normal usuage. I am on on stock LH1 rooted rom. I've found that turn off data from the notification bar help with the battery tremendously but dont want to miss out important emails when im not near a computer.
What app/widget do you guys use to automatically turn data on and off periodically like let say on for 30 minutes then off for 30 minutes, or off/on permanently via manually override from the user?
I've searched on the market and Google but no luck..
Thanks guys!
I use switchpro widget. It has a data toggle that you can switch on and off as needed.
JuiceDefender claims to be able to do this. You can select how often data is enabled and the duration.
Batteryfu great app and free

thaks. will try it soon
any customized Samsung TW ROM with 15 toggles MOD will have Data On/Off switch.
+1 for recommending Juice Defender. I upgraded to ultimate, wasnt really necassary though you can set schedules for it to sync anywhere from reactivating your data every 5 minutes to once every couple hours and everywhere in between. Can set it to turn off your gps, wifi, blue tooth etc... Just my 2 cents
JuiceDefender is probably your best choice. I've been using it on every Android phone I've had and it gives you a great deal of customization if you upgrade to ultimate.

Wifi Issues in 4.2.1

Not sure if it's just me, but on my Nexus I am connected to wifi while at work and at home. When the screen turns off so does my data about 10% of the time. When I turn the screen back on it will show just the cell bars (full signal) with no data icon (H, 3G, E, etc.) and no wifi symbol. After unlock it will try and re-connect and eventually does. In my wifi settings I have keep wifi on during sleep set to "always", and wifi optimization turned off (<-- not sure what this does).
Anybody else with this issue?
Yeah I get this issue too after the update...even with WiFi sleep set to never....and the new option for WiFi performance switched off! Any help devs?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
Same for me, but try this : (this is what i do)
go to wifi settings and turn it on, wait for it to connect then turn it off, then on again.
this solves it for me but i have to do this every time i want to connect to a wifi network
This always happens to me too I just thought it was because of the new wifi-optimization so I never thought twice about it...

Same
I am having the same problem.
Now that this is buried in Q&A I expect that it won't been seen as much.
Could any deva compare the driver for the WiFi from 4.1 and check the changes using a code compare app? Should be Peru ready if someone can tell me how to get at the code inside the files I could do it..... It might help

Same problem here, any fix/solution for it?
judging from responses I guess many have tried/failed to find resolution.
in my case, and I THINK it is since 4.2.1 - can't prove it - the reception is just abysmal on my home ap [repeated, one single ap id/login]. nexus 7 beyond about 4 meters from any of the devices gets a flaky connection, will drop, reconnect in the background repeatedly. if I use wifi analyzer on the nexus it shows a "fair" signal at that spot - use it on a better device and of course it shows a better [green] signal .. surprise surprise.
my geriatric Optimus P509, the galaxy s4g, ipad mini, and venerable thinkpad x120e get good signal on the very spot.
I've tried off/on wifi, cache clearing - no sacrificial animals however...
any clues out there?
oh, and as some few others have noted, I get a different signal indication in portrait mode vs. landscape, no matter how my fingers are arranged. and just the act of flipping it into the horizontal will cause a disconnect/reconnect.

same problem, don't know how to solve. I guess (just guess) it may be relavent to power management, because it often happens at night, when I left the phone untouched for several hours. I think during this long period of time the phone goes into some kind of "power saving mode", which affects the wifi and data connection.
I'm in the same boat, I've got the same problem with mi wifi. Everything works great, except when I turn off the screen and my wifi begins to act crazy turning on/off all by itself.
I've tried latest aokp latest cm 10.1, different kernels but nothing. I'm thinking to go back to 4.1.1 to see will the issue still be there.
Report back if it works good in 4.1.1.

After flashing back to CM 10.0, everything is working perfect again, no wifi issues at all.
So it's a 4.2.1 issue... Maybe a modem + 4.2.1 issue? Or is this issue specific only for a few devices?
I'm using LF1 modem.
