I want to intentionally disable the phone from making any phone calls. I'm running cm7.1 on my evo and I want it to be like a dedicated mp3 player with android market access.
I don't want to use airplane mode; I'm looking for a more permanent solution that can't be easily toggled.
I tried freezing com.android.phone and the dialer storage with titanium backup, but then market compatibility broke. Market returned server error.
Possible fixes (that I've thought of) :
Disabling radio driver?
Tricking market to not depend on phone?
Some phone or cm setting I'm missing?
Permanent airplane mode that still doesn't bug out wifi?
I know on cm builds of tablets (nook color and gtab) know that its a tablet and not a phone, and doesn't come with a phone option. Short of compiling my own build of cm7 (which if it's easy enough ill do), is there a way to trick cm7 into thinking it's a tablet?
I don't want to use airplane mode; I'm looking for a more permanent solution that can't be easily toggled.

Airplane mode is the only way. Once you turn it on, it's really not easy to turn it back off, you have to go to settings-wireless and networks.

Is there a way to set it and remove the option?
I know on Ubuntu Linux, specifically grub bootloader, and each of the options were available to edit on a conf file. I edited mine on my computer and added and deleted lines on mine. Does the android setting rely on a similar conf file?

As I said in my first post, that breaks market.
Please read before posting, isn't that a forum rule?

I am using tapatalk app and it won't show me all my subscribed threads, but I'm pretty sure in general a guy made a thread about how he did it for an EVO he gave to his daughter or something, it listed what you needed to remove. Sorry I realize that's not too helpful, but I will check back here tomorrow and if you didn't find it, I'll post a link.

I found it, see if this works for you. The op says market works.
I did notice the guy had to use a sense rom.

i don't want to use a sense rom, but i'll give it a shot. i'll report back in a sec. thank you very much for the fast reply!
EDIT: after reading the thread, i kinda don't want to rock sense. that thread isn't applicable is it? i'll try forking around with my cm7.1.zip and see if i can get similar results.
FFS, if you're the one that's gonna be using it, then just don't make calls. You can always toggle Airplane mode off, btw, to use the market.
Just flash amon ra and r2r going green, its sense 3.0 very stable & clean. It's got a built in option to turn off radio

Two posts above completely missed the point.
A) IM NOT LOOKING FOR AIRPLANE MODE SETTING UNDER WIRELESS AND NETWORKS.
B) IM NOT USING SENSE. JUST NO.
c) what I am looking for is a configuration file, and if you've never edited grub or Apache etc, you'll never understand what I mean. I haven't tried the apk removal yet, but I will in a sec
Thanks for your help pointing to the apk removal thread, but I'm hoping for real developer suppot here

Goodluck finding dev help. They are few and far between for the EVO anymore. I suggest downloading the Android sdk, finding some threads on here and other forums and learning it yourself. Biting the hand that feeds isn't going to help.
Boo
solved. Procedure:
1 Flash cm7 and gapps.
2 Let all the gapps install and update in the background.
3 Install titanium backup from newest updated market.
4 Make backup of dialer and dialer storage (com.android.phone and com.android.telephony)
5 Uninstall phone, and battery pull when it force close loops
6 Uninstall dialer storage after the reboot finishes
7 Wifi should still work the market!

It's time I've brought this to light, I can't be the only one?
WiFi, its problematic. Here's the thing -
- WiFi drops when : 40, 50, 60 minutes pass.
- Why? Reasons unknown, I've been told many things with no real answers.
A.) Go into WiFi > Advanced > Sleep Policy : Never.
I always set it to never, that it not the issue at all, I don't wanna hear this.
B.) It's my router, I cannot confirm this. Other devices seem to never drop WiFi so I don't know why mind does.
C.) It can be kernel related? Still cannot confirm this either, its an unknown issue.
- It only occurs on MIUI, Sense 3.5 and some other various roms.
Why? I don't know! It just happens..
- What about Sense 1.0/2.1/3.0, Cm7/9?
Works perfect, I never have WiFi drops. I don't get it..
- So it doesn't make sense? Your absolutely right. I'm damn confused, I don't understand why it works perfect on those opposed to the others.
What can I do? I've relentlessly caught them on logcats and no one answers me. I plan on catching it on screencast shortly and showing a video.
------------------------------------
Please if anyone knows or has these issues I'd like to know.
I want to get rid of this issue.
Other things odd about my phone -
A.) MIUI WiFi never dropped and possibly Sense 3.5.
B.) MIUI and Cm7 seem to act weird on my phone recently, will freeze or get real sluggish.
Thanks..
Edit: I captured it dropping, it happens exactly every 59 minutes.
Skip to 3:07 to see it drop and my phone information.

Sorry, I wish I knew what was going on. I've seen wifi disconnect before for me but only on screen off so I didn't think much of it but I've never seen it disconnect when awake like that. Just curious if it happens on different wifi networks.
Unfortunately yes, not really sure what the issue is. Its like I'm the only person who has ever encountered this odd issue.
Since you've seen most of my information can I ask if you think this might be a wifi driver error? I honestly don't think it is because on the roms I mentioned I never lose wifi.
God I'm just so frustrated on this. It doesn't make sense, pulling my hair lol.

Did you make sure wifi sleep is set to never in the ROM? Also I can try testing it but I might have to find a recovery that supports EMMC backups if any do (gave my 16gig sd card to my friend who needed it more).
I don't think it's a driver or kernel issue or it'd occur across multiple ROMs and more would be affected.

You mean in advance right? Always, one of the first things I do. If there is another sleep thing then I definitely wanna know about lol..
Did you not save any roms to emmc? 5.0.2.0 cwm uses internal memory to flash. I keep at least 7 roms in emmc and test versions on SD.

No I didn't. I didn't even know CWM supported it. Amon_ra does and it seems to be quicker too maybe. Good suggestion! Lol. I'm testing the ROM in your video but may not be able to re-create it as I don't really have time. Know any apps to test for wifi drops. I'm hoping to be able to check both kernel logs and logcat. If you want to dump the kernel log after a wifi drop do
adb shell dmesg > klog.txt
with adb. It actually dumps the current contents of /proc/kmsg which is the current kernel log and actually ongoing so it's ever updating.

Mm.. can't do anything that requires a computer. I only have the Droid Incredible, my computer died a bit after I rooted my phone.
I'm currently on Nightlie ICS, I can try getting a log at again if you want but anything computer related can't do.
For some reason I feel I'm the only person with this issue, I've searched Google low and high but people had other wifi issues unrelated to mine.
Just had a thought though.. I don't know much about the hardware but you think the way some of these devs made the rom mess with my wifi driver?
I honestly don't expect an answer or find for this issue but at least get it recognized.

Not likely, I don't think anyone did wifi tweaks and it works for most people which is what's weird.
But to get the log I'm requesting you can go a similar route with terminal emulator commands:
dmesg > /sdcard/klog.txt and link it
Precede dmesg with busybox if it doesn't recognize the command on your rom, so
busybox dmesg > /sdcard/klog.txt
Does clutch have this issue (based on warm so I expect so) or Nil's 3.5 ROM maybe?

Every sense 3.5 and MIUI, I think Pons Cm7.2 did too but I'm unsure.
So in TE - I type -
dmesg/sdcard/log.txt? I've never really got a log like this and I learned about logcat my own. Hate asking nooby questions.
Edit : got it to work on ics, looked at it but should I type that in after the wifi drop or during?

This below verbatim:

You aren't the only one its likely a large majority of users upgraded phones. I've never run into the issue but I recall people on Nils BGS roms (primary Sense 3.5 rom I used) had this issue. I know I read about the issue in other threads but nobody could resolve it since all the usual methods fail. You may be a minority but this has been an issue for some since last summer. I would say most upgraded by now so you only appear to be alone.
You sure snoop? My wifi deal is odd.. well at least I wasn't alone I suppose till now.
Anyway
- http://db.tt/ZF9c10Wb ← Klog1
- http://db.tt/P8VA9Ngw ← Klog2
Klog1 captured during the wifi drop
Klog2 captured after wifi drop
Both say something about wlan and I saw a lot of disconnect and sleep something.
Edit: Every time I Google my issue it was me I found complaining about the issue lol.

If you search "wifi" in Nils Business GingerSense 3.5 thread you will see there are seven pages of results. Page two results the most recent reports were from Halloween where people report the issue.
At post #1619, one user mentioned using an app called "Wifi Static" resolved their issue. Another mentions that setting their router to static ip connection resolved it.

Okay I do see it, what they sounds like it. So ..does it automatically assign a static IP? Not sure how to work the app, probably will read the about or FAQ.
Let me reflash a 3.5 rom real quick and try this.
As long as it works.. but what's odd is its only MIUI and sense 3.5.
Don't have this issue with OG GB or Cm7 GB, even unofficial ics.
From what I read they are saying it doesn't connect right between routers and phone? But how can it be so many routers? Its gotta be deeper than that.
Sent from my ADR6300 using Tapatalk 2
Idk man, it's been one of the most difficult to identify since it only affected a few people on the Inc. The only thing I could manage to guess is something in those roms doesn't configure correctly with certain routers. No one ever asked "which router do you have?" so that could be why it went unsolved for so long.
I don't know anything about Static ip connections or anything involved with changing wifi settings. This may help detail the different settings:

Checked the kernel logs and wifi is definitely dropping but no errors. I just wanted to reassure you that I did look at what I asked you to get me. Snoop may be on to something with his suggestion though.

Yeah I think I got a static IP down pat.
Thank you for looking, guess HTC's GB just doesn't like most routers.
As of right now before I tried mod systemui white, it put my phone in a loop. It hasn't seemed to drop wifi.
Thanks snoop for the suggestions, definitely seemed to work.

So no more hourly wifi drops?
Does this happen to anyone else? Quite often if I've been using the N2 in my home, when I go out and about my phone will not be connected to mobile data (3G) and I have to toggle airplane mode for it to kick in?

Not had this myself, sounds like the cellular connection is going to sleep and not waking when your note 2 polls for a connection. Are you on a stock rom or a custom, can you post your android version number as well, will help anyone else who posts who may have more information for you.
If your rooted you could try pulling a log at the time you switch connections see if that yields any useful data.
Same here on a german device. I use manually select the Provider. Then it connect. Thank you for the tip with the airplane mode. But I search a way to kick this big. In a german forum a member says that a Fullwipe helps.

Can anyone tell me what to look for in order to create a log? (I don't expect a tutorial just someone point me in the right direction).

Give this a go, should allow you to create a log during the time you have the problem then you can see what android is or is not doing at the time.

Not something I have had myself but my gf has this same problem with her gs3. After having a look around our seems to be fairly common on the gs3 so any help with a fix would be great. I can only assume that it's something that will be fixed with a fw update from Samsung.

I have the same issue and so does my girlfriend on her SIII.. Can be really annoying as I might leave somewhere with wifi connectivity expecting the phone to automatically connect to 3g and I miss things like whatsapp messages with no warning :/
When I realise I do use the flight mode trick to fix it but it's annoying that it happens.

Hello, please help to solve this small problem.
I was using my HTC incredible as it is but now I have moved to a region without CDMA.
I would like to use it as a field PC for my RC hobby. I looked around and all procedures I saw starts with USB debug mode but I could not turn it on as far as my device want to be registered on CDMA before. Help to make my phone free.
Present configuration:
SW 4.08.605.15
RF: 2.15.10.12.20
HW:003
Will really appreciate suggestion regarding ROM optimised for calculation.
Thanks in advance.
Do you need access to a mobile network? That's not possible as there's only cdma hardware in the phone.

Airplane mode? I'm also extremely confused - you shouldn't need to register anything if you are just using it as a pda. If it's an inactive device it should just not do anything as far as the network is concerned. If it's giving some mysterious trouble, put cm7.2 on it.

I think he means he wants to bypass the activation screen. Phone must have had a factory reset done.
Dial *228 wait a few seconds, then hang up. Do that 5 or 6 times in a row and it should let you past it.
Hey all,
I'm dusting off an old Verizon Galaxy Nexus to use as a test / development device, but am having some difficulties with it that I've never experienced in the past. Right now the device is unlocked, but running the stock 4.2.2 ROM. When I go into the USB computer connection panel in settings, it shows the either or option of MTP or PTP, but even after selecting MTP, every time I leave the screen, or even rotate the device from portrait to landscape, the option always goes back to PTP. I have never seen this before, and so far my Google-fu has not turned up anything helpful.
Hoping someone out here may have some ideas of what is going on with it. I'd like to root / ROM it, but if I can't even get access to the device as-is, I don't know that attempting to root it in its current condition is going to be super helpful.
Thanks!
I've had a similar issue with my Nexus 7 (2013). I'd like to see a solution as well.
