How can I check if there is a problem with my 4G? When I turn on 4G, it automatically turns off after about 10 seconds. I've tried using it in several places that have 4G coverage, but the same thing always happens. Can someone tell me how I can check if there is a problem and what can be done to fix it? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Look at my sticky. Might have lost your RSA Keys.
joeykrim just released an app that checks your rsa keys for you, it works great.

Sweet! Thanks for the help! The app says my keys ARE present. I ran it a couple times to be sure, each time getting the same result. I still don't understand why my 4G turns off.

Does it turn off right away after you turn it on? Do you have SwitchPro or System Info Widget installed? Both of them have been known to cause that. System Info Widget was doing it to me. Uninstall and re-download it and it should clear it up.

Since I updated to the latest Fresh I've noticed 4G is always enabled by default with a reboot. I don't remember this ever happening before.
Anyone else experience this, and is there a way to disable it? I don't have 4G anywhere near me, and would like to not have to remember to disable it with every reboot....
Do you use switchPro widget? That happens to me when i use a sense rom and I restart if i have a switchpro widget out.
Same here : whenever I reboot the phone 4G is enabled... I don't reboot my phone that often but I keep remembering to turn it off.

I was blaming my 4g widget as well. Do we know this for a fact though? I havent taken the time to test.
A Fix?
Hey fellas,
I just put on the FreshEvo 3.4 on my EVO.
Now I have the '4g enabled at boot' issue.
Did you find any solution to this issue?
Thanks,
Ian
I don't use Fresh. But I was using the "Quick Settings" app. I noticed that it automatically turned on 4G on boot. Then it would constantly try to turn it on throughout the day randomly.
Everything was fine until the last update of Quick Settings.
AH HA!
[update: I uninstalled quicksettings too. No go. doing a power-on still has the 4G enabled.]
I have removed beautiful widgets and extended controls, which were new installs after FreshEvo.
Hmmm... well, the QuickSettings (which has beena GREAT app) dev comes out with updates all the time.
I'll try contacting him about the issue...
Thanks for mentioning that as an issue!!! I'll try freezing the app (thanks to Titanium) and reboot and see if that fixes the issue.

I am fairly sure that is the issue. It even happens when taking your phone out of Airplane mode. I've watched as 4G tries to fire up after taking it off. Hopefully the dev will release another update so I can go back to using Quick Settings.
still an issue...
I froze beautiful widgets and QuickSettings (using Titanium). Did a reboot, 4G on soon as the phone came up.
I'll keep searching. Please let me know if you have any other suggestions. The perils of rooting, I guess! LOL
So for some reason or another, after every reboot, 4G turns on by itself.
Needless to say, it drains battery for no good reason, and I don't know how to fix this.
Any suggestions or advice?

You are correct my friend. Throwing "swithpro" into my search immediately returned useful info.
Thanks.
Lucky you!
I can't enable 4g for the life of me... And I'm using SwitcherPro. Should I uninstall this?
switchpro used to automatically turn on 4g with me too so I uninstalled it. reinstalled it later after I sent some feedback to the dev and after a few revisions and all is good again. it does still turn on during boot up, but immediately turns off.
do you have the latest rev?

I haven't seen anything during my searching which suggests that switherpro interferes with actually connecting to 4G, but I can't know for sure.
I say, uninstall and see what happens

Not sure what the latest rev is. I've had it for a couple of months.
Either way, the "turn notification on/off" trick worked for me.
good deal. that trick didn't work for me.
I tried 1.0.1 and 1.0.2 and they both do the same thing. Whenever I am in Airplane mode wifi will not turn on. I press the button and it just freezes in the on position and then nothing happens. Never had this problem on any other rom. Any Suggestions?

This is default Samsung settings and cannot be changed at this time.

Does that only apply to EB13? DK28 and DI18 never had this problem. The only reason I ask is because I live in an area where I get no service and my battery drains 3x as fast if I dont have Airplane mode on.

I never tested it much in previous versions, but I can confirm it occurs across EB13. The setting is tweakable at a low level - and I question why Samsung didn't include it in Settings, and why even Spare Parts doesn't tweak it.

Thanks for the feedback k0nane, Im overseas right now so anything but airplane mode is an instant battery drain if I want to use Wifi. I figured this was Samsung's fault now I know. Here's to hoping EC05 fixes it, though I have my doubts.
Given that your aware of it, do you think it is something you guys (the awesome Devs) will be able to fix with time?

Yes. Thereotically, it's as simple as a settings.db change - I'm looking at it for 1.1.0.

Cool, Your my hero! Thanks again for your awesome work.
You might be able to toggle it under the testing mode (dial settings).
if I remember correctly it is something like:
#*INFO##4444# might be able to shut off all cellular connections, but still keep wifi and gps open.

That would be absolutely perfect. This is the only problem I am having with your Rom. If its fixed I will definately donate to the cause. Your Rom is by far the smoothest, fastest one out.

This did seem to work, the correct code is *#INFO*1111#
Under the Phone info menu I turned off the radio. Now I can be out of airplane mode but don't seem to be losing any battery to cell standby, only display and phone idle.
Thanks for the suggestion, this will get me by for the week. Im out of thanks for the day but I owe you one =)
Edit: Thanked you properly

Please give me advice on whats the best option that works for most people on how to re-install these apps.
Wifi is a constant love to have on my phone, i need it working like ASAP, please help.
Hello,
Awesome site!
I am currently having an issue where my lock screen will not work. As in, when my phone times out and i hit the power button, no lock screen. It literally boots right into the home screen. I have gone through all of the settings, disable, enabled, changed the type of lock and what not.
Has anyone else ran into this issue?
I am currently running :
CyanogenMod version :
10.1 - 20130704-NIGHTLY-JFLTETMO
Kernel version:
3.40-cyanogenmod-g3905ee4

Build number :

I have already searched the forums for the anyone who has a similar issue and have found nothing.
If anyone has any suggestions on how to resolve this issue, it would be greatly appreciated!
I would imagine that a fresh install would fix this and I will have no problems doing so if that is the only solution.
Looking to see if there is an actual cause for this and if it can be repaired without reloading.
Again, thank you in advance for taking the time to read this, even if you didn't provide a fix.
I think im having a similiar issue, when I timeout I cant get phone to wake ... takes like 20 seconds, like its all fragged out...
Then when it does wake its on the power down reboot menu.
This is my second s4 last one no issues.

Anyone else having lock screen issues? Can anyone provide any insight on why it is happening or what else i should try to make the lock screen behave the way its intended?
I'd hate to have to do a fresh install...and then have it happen again..
Thanks in advance..

What you described in the first post is normal. Say you're reading an online news article and your screen times out, pressing the power button instantly brings you back to that article instead of to your lock screen. It's a controllable feature in my next ROM release.

It is not normal that my phone does not lock at all under any circumstance.
Clearly, i didn't describe my issue very well in my OP.
My lock screen does not work at all, no matter what the settings are.
Thanks in advance!

You said when it times out.. and you press the power button.. it doesn't show the lock screen. I could of swore that's what I read lol.
So even if you leave your phone sit for say five minutes with the screen off there is no lock screen?

You're correct, that is what you read...that was a poor example with little to no detail.
Yes, even when my phone timed out and was left for 5 minutes, it did not lock.
I believe I have resolved the issue by disabling cLock within app manager. Once i did this, it didn't resolve the issue immediately but within the hour, my phone timed out and when I hit the power button, it was locked. I have re-enabled cLock and all seems to be working fine as far as my phone locking when it is suppose too. The issue I'm having now is that my cLock widget settings are not taking effect on the lock screen. As in, color and font boldness. I guess, its better then not working at all..
Maybe you have some insight or suggestions on how to fix this current issue.
Thanks in advance!

First time i heard of "cLock" is it an app on the play store or something? And yes that was gonna be my second recommendation, that there seemed to be an app or some other thing preventing the lock screen from showing.

I would say remove the lockscreen widget and add it again. If that doesn't work, try using a different size widget... I seem to remember having some problems with cLock but I can't remember exactly what I did..

It's the CM clock widget pretty much.
Sorry if this is posted somewhere, I did search quite a bit. Anyway, my wife's z2 force WiFi Keeps turning off by itself. I set it to always stay on even, still does it. Rebooted, still there. This is a big problem because we ran through all of our data (Verizon) because we didn't know for a while. Anyone else experiencing this? Any fix? Please and thanks!

Turning off. If she turns it on while using it, it seems to stay on, but then it'll turn off and stay off until she hits the WiFi button.

None of the above. It's stock, with a few apps she likes such as Facebook and Pinterest. Nothing that would do that.
Pure speculation, as I don't own the Verizon model, take it for what it's worth...
It sounds like Verizon software is handling this. Having previously owned both ATT and Verizon devices, I know how they love slapping their seemingly helpful "data manager" apps into the stock system apps. Usually these apps can--and often will--by default handle wireless hand-off settings.
This is where I would look first. If your not rooted, I'm not sure what your options are to block this type of app, especially if it was installed as "system", but you might get lucky, and be able to freeze it or at least deny it permissions.
Again, all speculation. I'd be really interested to know if I'm close though.
Edit: You also might look into your build.prop settings. I haven't manually poked into these since honeycomb, so I won't be much help here, but I'm sure someone here can point you at the right variables inside build.prop to see if there's an "oopsie". Again, just a thought.
