If you're using Erwin's CM9 ICS ROM, you can turn off Sync. This disables the market searching for updates, etc. I hope this helps

yes i did remove sync but the background data was still on. data charges on my mobile network are a bit hectic to leave background data on! thanks anyway

Llama, free app from the market.
Or tasker if you don't mind paying, with one of these you can set it up so data is only on when you want it to be.

option to disable backround data in mobile networks is in settings->data usage-> tick set mobile data limit and scroll down,you should see list of apps using data,when you open any of them,you should finally find option to "restrict background data"

For Wifi, you can set your sleep policy under your advanced WiFi Settings (hit menu while in the settings). If you set it to never, it's supposed to keep your WiFi enabled all the time. I'm not entirely positive it works properly, but I haven't dug much into it...

How set uninterrupted access to the Internet?

How set uninterrupted access to the Internet in cm7.2rc3?

if you are talking about the wifi sleep when screen is off then you can change the settings by going to menu > settings > wireless and networks > wifi settings > menu > advanced > wifi sleep policy. Change it to never.
I talking about mobile network was connected non-stop with internet. This option was in rempuzzlerom.

OK... I presume you are trying to download a large file. Another thing you can do is to set Sleep time to never and or 30 minutes. This will drain your battery. Make sure you have it plugged during your "download" period.
Hope it helps.
I need this option "enable always on-mobile" in cyanogenmod.

!! Confused !! Sorry i really dont know what your trying to achieve. Your data should be constant with the data setting enabled?? The always on setting in sense rom is in my opinion the equivalent to background sync in cm7!! This setting is found via settings/accounts and sync.

Fool me once...with JB remember to disable Con Optimizer

FYI, for the 3rd update in a row Sprint enables Connection Optimizer by default. It is a HUGE battery drainer in the past, and maybe even more so in the JB release. Remember to go into..
Settings --> More Settings --> Mobile Networks --> Connections Optimizer
and uncheck.

But does it stick as disabled when you disable it? I had that problem in LI3 and I ended up freezing it with Titanium Backup.
You have to go to /system/app and delete or rename Connection Manager.apk.
Even if you disable it. It will be turned on again.
That's the Sprint "don't use your unlimited data"
That sh** is all day long scanning for Wi-Fi.

I haven't had the issue of it turning back on. Once unchecked it no longer shows up as a battery hog and no longer turns in my Wi-Fi

Same here. But true it is sprint trying to cheat us from getting internet off 3g. That's why to get back I leave Pandora on all night almost every day. Lol talk about data usage.

It is causing hell on my phone today. Keeps flipping out and flapping my WiFi connection. Just checked it in Better Battery Stats...yep, this is the third worst offender behind screen and media services. And Sprint pushed out a buggy update that won't let people turn it off...
With this and their incredibly stupid removal of Internet Calling, I can see LJ7 being pulled or a fast update being pushed out ASAP.

I find this quite interesting... I get great life leaving it on... I have disabled many other things and restricted my background data but not this... interesting indeed
Oh here is a picture of what I get with it on... ill do some tests in the coming days to verify which setting is better

Nope this is lame..
I remember it reset like right after my cycle ended and I paid my bill but it came back a couple weeks later.
... Bump
Go to settings - apps - all tab , and select data usage. Force stop, and clear cache and data. Reboot and see if that fixes it.

Have you tried checking the limit mobile data and alert me about boxes, and then use the slider on the graph to set the limits to something unreachable?
What rom are you on? Stock or Custom and if custom which one? I notice your dock bar and app folders are different but that doesn't tell me much.

Yup and that doesn't do anything either. The only time it went away was when my monthly cycle ended then it went away but then came back. I read online about quiet a few other people having this issue on 4.3

I would back up sd card. Then do a factory reset. Something is buggy. You could also just wait for kit Kat and see if it fixes it. Should be this week hopefully for the update.

Potential fix for NK3 battery drain bug.

After having terrible battery drain with the newest update, I tried everything to fix it.
Here's what worked for me.
1. Clear the cache through recovery and reboot.
2. Disable consistent WiFi scanning and unneeded location services.
3. Disable security and bug reporting.
Step three was the most useful for me. I now have 4-5 hours of SOT like I did pre-update.
They're located in settings-about device and settings - security.
Disabling these will stop any diagnostic logging from being sent to Google and Samsung. I initially though this was the issue when my Android System battery use was through the roof and "Silent Logging Service" was on top of the list.

If you go to settings-wifi and click the three dot menu, you'll find "advanced". Disable "always allow scanning".

After tuning off your phone, hold VOL UP + HOME + PWR Button.
I have also found that disabling the unified dameon app and not using the Samsung weather widget drastically improves my battery.

In my data usage, the unified daemon has only used 20kb or so. Is this app responsible for something else?
It is used with location reporting. The Samsung weather widget will not work if the unified dameon is disabled. Other weather widgets and location reporting will still work though.

Where do you disable that at? I see in other threads with people with rootable N4s are freezing it through. TB but where do we disable at?

Nice. Thanks. Got it disabled and will test to see if it makes a difference in the battery life.
#3 makes sense because it's likely pinging the database all day long even when in poor reception areas so it burns battery
#2 is a decent idea but I bet that was enabled before the update when you had excellent battery

O yeah for sure. Will report back.
I think the culprit is actually the enhanced 4G LTE services. Once I turned that off, my battery started to resemble what it used to be before the update. If you go to settings -> data usage -> mobile data -> uncheck 4G LTE services.
Been having horrible battery after update, trying all of the following and will report back:
- Disable Enhanced 4G LTE
- Clear the cache through recovery and reboot.
- Disable consistent WiFi scanning and unneeded location services.
- Disable security and bug reporting.
Will update soon!
