After Sprint Cust support messed with my phone, now 4g in on by default when I restart my phone. I dont have 4g in my area so all it does is drain the battery. I tend to forget and leave it on. How can I change that. I want it off by default like it use to be. Please help.
For now the only way is to probably root the phone and flash a custom rom otherwise you have to wait on Sprint/HTC to release another build of froyo. Thats taking a chance too because who knows if it will even be fixed on the next release.... I've never had this problem rooted with custom roms.
This happened before I rooted my phone. Now I'm rooted with custom rom and still have the issue..

It happens to me sometimes too. I think it's the widgets (SwitchPro etc) that might be turning it on.

Yeah, if you are using switchpro it will turn 4g on by default

If you use switch pro, that is the cause. Either stop using switch pro, or use an automation app like tasker. You can set your phone to boot with 4g off. I use switch pro and have to do this to keep 4g off when booting.

You are absolutely right. Its switch pro the cause.

I contacted the developer to see if they can get a fix made.

I did too and he responded. Downloaded the update and everything is fine now. Great Support. I highly recommend Switch Pro.

So I believe I've had this issue everytime I fashed any kind of CM7 to my phone. The backup of my dolphin browser never actually restores correctly. All my other apps restore their data perfecty and work fine. But dolphin browser always just restores the app but I can never get my data back on it, so I lose all my bookmarks and saved emails and stuff which is annoying and sometimes I forget some of my passwords lol. But has anyone else had this problem? Even when I backup my bookmarks from the app itself and restore them it never gets me them back.
And the problem I'm having with 4G is it never connects or shows up. I know I need to have 3G on first, and I do, but when I turn 4G on it says "turning on" then "unknown" and it never even shows in my status bar as scanning or anything.
Also, the in-call speaker sound stays on the loudest even when lowerng it to the end. Its like that with regular talking on the phone and head phones, and no, its not from voodoo control. But is there anyway to fix this?

Tb. I always use it and it works perfectly on every other ROM I flash. Its just cm7 I'm having problems with. And no the backup isn't corrupted or anything. I'm thinking maybe it could be because dolphin runs differently on cm7?? Or has some kind of different data?

I can't imagine that the data would be stored in a different location. But you even said dolphin's own back and restore doesn't work on cm7? I would say that is a dolphin issue not a cm7 issue contact their support.

Ya that's what I'm thinking. Maybe it runs in a different way or something.
But anyway, that's not the biggest problem I'm having. I don't mind that as much as any of the other two issues.
4G, for some reason, just isn't working for me. Can anyone confirm that it actually works so I can see where the problem is from?
Also, the in-call speaker sound stays on the loudest even when lowerng it to the end. Its like that with regular talking on the phone and head phones, and no, its not from voodoo control. But is there anyway to fix this?

Not sure about the in call volume I can't test 4g seeing I don't have 4g where I live. Which version of CM7 you on? 7.2 RC2 is the latest version.

4g is working for me on cm7... or it was 2 days ago... not on cm7 right now so can't test... maybe they are working on towers in your area... they are starting deployment of lte and it has been giving their network some problems from what I've read... I know there was a big outage last week in texas because of this... maybe its that...

Maybe, or maybe not. Ill restore my backup of thunderhawk and test 4G to see if its from the ROM or the network. And I seen another tread talking about the in call sound to always being too loud so I guess that's a ROM based bug but not a big problem.

I have an epic 4g that has been replaced on a sprint line. I wanted to let the kids use it. So I have it reset and I want to get the updates but I just get an unknown error.
So the question is, is it not possible to get automatic updates over wifi once a phone is no longer on a plan?

That is correct. It is carrier pushed. Flash an FC09 ROM on it.

I think you have to toggle the flash manually for it to work and tiny flashlight is what works.

I want to save battery life ....
I do not know about the app but there is one problem. Sometimes I download large files and i do not want to keep my screen awake all the time. But if it switches the connection to 2g from 3g (or vica versa) it disconnects for one second and the download fails.. So that could be a problem for downloading large files.

if can set the timer,that problem can fix
Juice defender can do that I think. Haven't tried it myself I don't use that app anymore, but I believe there was an option in it to toggle between 3g and 2g. However, you have to have root access and a kernal/rom that supports it. Stock kernals don't support allowing you to switch between 2g to 3g without doing it manually yourself through the settings, so you probably need to find a custom one that does.

You'll need a mod ROM to get full use of Tasker for battery improvement. Stock ROM doesn't allow 2G/3G switching.
I understand that CM10 allows this.
Someone should confirm, as I've stuck to rooted stock rom in SIII and plan to keep the same on Note II.

Is it just me? After rooting and cwming my phone my system default time is always in the 1970's so it messes up the cwm back ups and things. If you have your phone on airplane mode and reboot it won't grab the time from the network so that how you can check. I only noticed it when I brought in cwm. I've tried different versions of cwm never gotten it fixed though. Oh I'm always aosp, Rom/kernel makes no difference
Can anybody confirm this? Or share any fixes?

Hey look, for a while now I have been using the script and app here.
It's called oNandroid.
- perform backups without rebooting.
- manage stored backups and the dates are correct.
- If you ever need to restore, reboot to CWM.
- It's super convenient and works perfect for me.
Problem solved...and a bag of chips!
(lots of options. Can be used with the GUI or with any script app)
Enjoy
I read something koush posted in Google+ a while back. It has to do with the way the chip set is programmed it doesn't communicate the way it's supposed to to update the date stored on the chip. I guess if you turn on airplane mode and then reboot it will default to the same date. If you pay attention every time you boot the phone it polls the server for date and time.

I figured it was something funky more or less hardware related. Are you saying there's not much hope it can be easily updated?
I can totally live with it, it's really not a big deal.
Besides sometimes it's fun to send people text messages with a 1970's date stamped on it.

Maybe it's your router or better yet the router settings. Have you tried changing any of those settings?
Am I missing something? How is it a Samsung thing? What kind of router do you have?

After looking all night I found a thread that fixed this. You have two choices really to fix or buy your router which I'm not going to do, or you can type in on your dial pad *#0011#. Then you click your menu button, click on the wifi option, and then disable the energy saver wifi mode. That made it so my phone wouldn't drop wifi connection anymore. NOTE: each time you restart your phone you need to turn the wifi energy saver off through the command *#0011#. Hope I helped some of you because this bug is truly annoying.

That stinks. I don't have any problem and I think this is only the 2nd time I've seen anything posted like this about the S4 (the S3 did have that issue and was common). I've never turned off any energy saver and mine stays connected 100% of the time. So you're saying either that or you have to buy a new router? What kind do you have now and what settings on it did you find out that cause this issue for you?
Right now I have whatever Verizon gives fios customers. It works perfectly for all my phones, tablets, and computer. Just not on my s4 unless I do the dial pad trick. I'll post a link on the xda thread when I get home on how to fix your router. It really does make me angry that I paid 600 for the phone and it does this. Hopefully Samsung fixes this soon since they acknowledge the problem

My gf has an S4 and has the same problem. We have a Netgear WNDR3500. So it's not isolated to a D-Link. She also did the dial pad trick and it seems to work for her as well. Need to find a script to run on boot to set the power save to OFF.
