WiFi Question - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does the WiFi stay on even when the phone is in standby? If it does is it something to do with the always on data setting?

Hi again Bud,
By default when Enabled, Wi-Fi will stay on even when the phone is in sleep mode. You can set this by changing the following setting, if necessary:
Go to Menu > Settings > Wireless & Networks > Wi-Fi Settings. Now click the Menu button again and select the Advanced option. Select Wi-Fi sleep policy and then set the relevant option.
Hope that helps you out.

Which Apps are not updated to 4.0.3/4.0.4

I have the Samsung Galaxy S2 X and I'm on 4.0.3 and certain apps like Poynt/Palmary Weather and some others cause my wifi to just drop and go to 4G, this never happened when I had my Incredible S?
My palmary works fine. Doesn't mess up the connection
I think i figured it out, when i did some internet searches it says that apartments that are heavy concrete or lots of metal plus phones plugged in too close to wireless modems can cause it so hopefully that's my issue?

[Q] WiFi auto on [Sprint]

My phone keeps turning WiFi on automatically. Is there a way to disable this? I can't seem to find anything that is relevant in WiFi settings.

Look in Settings->More Settings->Mobile Networks->Automatic Connections and turn it off if it is on
Appreciate it, sprint could have put that under the WiFi settings. I swear carriers do some odd things with these ROMs.

Settings -> more -> Mobile Network -> Network Mode.
That works only on AOSP ROMs, not TW.

Ok. Are you using the AT&T version of the SGS3? What settings are you doing manually and they are not sticking? Do you mean it does not change at all, switches automatically after certain amount of time, or resets after reboot or airplane mode? There is not an app that I know of that does this directly. Most are more or less shortcuts to your "mobile networks" in settings and the Test menu found under USSD "*#*#4636#*#*". I have not found one that works the way you mention for myself (regardless of which phone I use) unless it is baked into the ROM.
Copied from some post here n backed up on my drop box. This should work on TW ROMs.
-------------
From the phone dialer enter: *#197328640#
Umts -> Debug Screen -> Phone Control -> Network Lock -> RAT_FREE_SUPPORITNG ON <- once you choose this option it will say "Now RAT Free Supporting" - this will allow you to change bands freely (no need to pull the SIM card) until your next reboot.
You can save *#197328640# in your contacts. I wasn't able to call the contact directly but from the dialer you can dial *#1 and it will pop up as a suggestion - you press that and it launches automatically. You can then go to Umts -> Debug Screen -> Phone Control -> Network Control <- this leads you to the screen you'd find in my original method with *#2263#
From here you can freely swap to whichever band you prefer and it will connect without a reboot required!
Note: After disabling RAT restrictions you can hit the menu button and choose back, twice. You'll then be at the menu list that includes "Network Control" aka *#2263# which is a little faster.

[Q] WiFi Power Saving opt out

I have searched and not found the changes needed so I'm posing the question here:
Is there any way we can have the WiFi power saving feature turned off as a default when using the stock rooted galaxy s4 rom?
What needs to be changed/done to achieve this? Simple?
Thanks!
Go into your settings, Wifi, press the menu button, advanced, then set Keep Wifi on During Sleep to Always.

Not sure about the USSD code since I'm on a modified kernel but I am assuming you can turn it off from the menu as well. Set it to off if you can and then reboot and open the menu and see if that setting sticks. Just curious, how is the power savings mode affecting you? If there is something specific, let me know.

[Q] Change default screen using smart cover feature

Is there a way to change the default screen that we see via smartcover? Right now its a notepad and the calendar and I cant find any option to change it.
You can turn it off but that's about it so far...
