Hello,
During 12AM and 7AM I noticed that the mobile network goes off. I need to open the screen and it does automatically reconnect. Is there a setting that I need to enable for the network to stay on 24 hours ? I'm using stock ROM.
Thank you.
r u using any battery saving apps like Juice Defender?
This is a built-in feature given by HTC to save power. It switches off wi-fi & data when the device is in sleep mode. You cannot change this setting in a stock ROM. you would be able to change it on a custom ROM though.

When I installed my ROM, and on first boot I was given an option for when to use data.
Wifi only, or WiFi and Mobile Networks.
Now, I am going on holiday in a week and wanted to switch it to WiFi only to avoid data roaming charges.
Can anyone help, I cannot find it in the settings.
Settings > wireless and networks > mobile network.

Obviously I looked there first. There doesn't seem to be a "WiFi Only" option.
If I just deselect Data Roaming, will that essentially do what I want?
Yes, just turn off mobile network and turn on WiFi.

In the widgets > settings widgets you can choose mobile network and wifi network (as well as gps and bluetooth) screen widgets so you can toggle them on and off.... when not wanting to use mobile data, its good to have those widgets on one of your screens (as the dashboard widgets are usually missing one or another of those 4 essentials)
saves time from going into the settings repeatedly just to turn something on or off.

It is stated in the setting that it enable/disable data packet usage over mobile network. It has absolutely nothing to do with your phone call whatsoever. What makes you think that way?
Just kidding. In extreme cases, to prevent data on moblie network, one uses firewall to block access to any applications that try to access it.

All you need to do is deselect Mobile Network. Even the description says its used to connect to the internet.
a question really easy
Does any sort of app exist? I'm rooted and for battery saving purposes, would it not be a good idea to switch to 2g automatically when the screen is off for more than a minute? Then when the phone is woken up switch back to 3g?
I'm not talking about turning data off completely as this would stop whatsapp messages coming through.

Dont know if it helps but I just made this post a few hours ago.

Not sure if that's what you need though.
It uses mobile data though... For 2g and 3g I'll try to create a new app for that
But for now yeah that's what I have
Would Tasker not be able to do that?
(I've only used it a few times recently but sounds within its capabilities)

It is built using tasker.
I tried to use Tasker for this but not sure how to configure it. Anyone successfully configure please share the steps..

if you turn off the 3g while the screen is off, you wont receive any emails is this correct?
2g... Data is data. Psst, you can watch Youtube without 3g!

It's not that simple and probably not worthwhile. 2G and 3G on standby are pretty close in terms of power usage, the only time you usually find an advantage with 2G is where the 3G signal is weaker, so less power is used keeping in touch with the 2G tower. If you fix the phone to 2G, you also save some power if moving around as the phone is only talking/listening to 2G cells, and less likely to be swapping about. When you have "auto" selected and you are moving around the phone has to monitor both 2G and 3G cells to be ready to make a handover decision, so that is extra power.
If you have the phone constantly dropping 2G to go to 3G when you turn on the screen, then back again, that all takes extra power to negotiate with the cells. Also if you get a phone call and the phone switches to 3G, this will drop all connections when the setting is changed, as you can only have a smooth handover when the phone is in "auto" mode and has already established a handover strategy.
Then you need to factor in data usage. When any applications sync while your phone is in standby (screen off) if on 2G that sync is going to take longer, and the longer it takes the longer your phone has to stay awake to wait for it to happen, and the radio is on longer transmitting, so more power is used than there might have been on 3G.
The net effect of such a setting is likely to use more power overall.

Does anyone know any working app for my One V which can automatically enable/disable the 2G/3G data connection. I need atleast the following functionalities:
1. Auto-disable the 3G data connection when screen off
2. Auto-change the 3G into the 2G connection
3. Automatically set the brightness to lowest at night time, say 10PM till 7AM (nice to have)
I've searched in the market but could not find any suitable one. Thanks in advance.
if ur rooted u can use cm10..u can switch between 2g nd 3g and for other stuff use juice defender

CM 10 have this function .

Thanks for the advice. Will try and let you know.
I have the Note 8 GT-N5100 which is the 3G version that can make calls. It was the only available version in the market here and I do not use it for its phone functions. I see it eats up 3-4% of the battery power, even without a SIM card in place. How would I turn that off, but still will be able to turn it back on when I need it for calls? Putting it to plane mode shouldn't be the solution as I like it to connect to wifi immediately.

Put it in flight mode and then turn just Wi-Fi on.

I also have the same situation.
I just put the device into flight mode and enable the other connectivity options when required like wifi or bluetooth.
It works very well

Fortunately, flight mode and "wifi on" at the same time is possible with the Note 8....
I use my Note 8 3G without GSM enabled all the time.
Wifi is still on and syncing / exchange push mail works like a charm.
Using the pull down menu to enable and disable connectivity options is convenient enough for me.
Otherwise use something like Tasker to automate 3G availability.

Wi-Fi turns on automatically and will only leave hspa connection active for a few minutes at a time. This has been going on for about 2 months and keeps getting worse.
I have tried all 3 sleep policies under advanced settings. I have tried switching Wi-Fi connection managers and utilities and have deleted them altogether as well. I have tried disabling location over Wi-Fi and mobile networks. I have reset Wi-Fi networks and disabled autoconnect when reconnecting.
There are a few other things I've also tried but basically I've tried everything I know short of clean installing-which I intend on doing when 10.1 goes stable.

It turns out that the issue was with Internet commander. The solution was disabling the option to start internet in standby under screen off settings. Unfortunately that entirely disables internet until about 5 seconds after I turn the screen back on but the alternative is to need 4 battery charges per day instead of 1 or 2.
