[Q] Airplane mode with Wifi on

I spend most of my work day with no signal, so my battery dies quick constantly searching. I've now got google voice setup, so I can do everything i need over wifi, but can't enable airplane mode without it preventing wifi from working as well. I'm running SFR 1.2. Anybody have the same issue and or know a way around it?

Turn Airplane Mode on and then turn Wifi on. Wifi will go on while Airplane Mode is active. If you have Wifi on and then turn Airplane Mode on, it will turn Wifi off... just re-enable Wifi.

That's the exact same issue i'm having. I can attempt to turn wifi on, but it seems to just grey out the options with airplane mode on. From either the quick launch bar, or directly in settings i get the same issue.

Just tested this to see...
Works fine stock ec05. Must be something isolated to SRF

that's funny because I was just looking for an application that does this too. SRF 1.2 won't let you enable wifi with airplane mode on. I don't know if this is an SRF issue or if it's like that for all ROMs. anyway, I found this app [(download here)] and it works perfectly. very simple to use

It works on stock and I have also used this method with various midnight ROM's

Stock Froyo has always had this ability by default. Must be an isolated custom ROM thing.

here try this also. Turn on your wifi first, then turn airplane mode on & see if the wifi stays connected. this method works for me on SRF 1.2

I just installed "Airplane Mode Wi-Fi Tool" from the market and so far it's working great for this. There is an option you can enable to always leave Wi-Fi on when entering arplane mode.

I'm running syndicate frozen 1.2, and I have not been able to turn WiFi on while in airplane mode when I was able to do so with stock ROM.
I don't see an app called "Airplane Mode Wi-Fi Tool". Anyone with a direct link or alternative?

I used Airplane Mode Wifi from the market, and it worked fine. what's funny, is ever since installing the app and setting it to "always allow wifi during airplane mode" i haven't had a problem with it anymore on any rom or any kernel.

Hold power button for a few seconds. Select "Data network mode" to turn off mobile data. Press back button. (Soft key or hardware, doesn't matter) Turn on wifi.
What be the problem gents?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

The fact that it doesn't turn the main phone radio off, and would still leave me with a dead phone by the end of my work day. That's my whole reason. I have no signal all day at work, but plenty of wifi (hooray google voice.)

I keep a charger at work, because I get zero bars at my desk but sometimes it will send/receive texts. No wifi available for me.
Maybe you could...plug it in at work?

I plug it in when I can, but I'm the only IT guy for 300 people.. don't get to spend much time at my desk.

Juice defender

is it working for you guys? for some reason mine is not shutting off data when screen is off

Not working for me either...
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium

I am wondering if it is something with this phone. I am not using JD but rather Green Power (same as JD) and it seems to have an issue shutting off data as well. I ended up using Llama and setting a condition that whenever the screen goes off to kill data and vice versa. It has been working great.

Tried it for a day and noticed that my phone couldn't connect to data even when wifi was off other users also had the same issue so I've steered clear of it since besides while using it really didn't see much of a difference in battery life

It seems to still be working for me? It has always been working for me.. I have juicedefender ultimate don't know if that matters?

Its working for me! It always has..
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium

i have gotten both results. some days it does work, some days it doesn't. when it chooses to work and when it doesn't occur at random times, and i'm not sure what i do that makes sure that it works as it should.
i wonder if this issue and other reports of settings being reset after a reboot are phone related or firmware related...

It worked today after I went to the status page and tweaked some things.

what did you do?

In the "about" tab there are different options, this is what I have; enable after unlock is highlighted, disable on wifi (data) (4G) are highlighted, all the rest are not highlighted. Of course I have the app itself enabled with aggressive highlighted. Notifications needs to be allowed... been working ok for 2 days now.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium

Has been working for me as well. Using ultimate, advanced settings, basically have it set to turn off data while screen is off, sync every 5 minutes, using location for WiFi for home and work. averaging 1.85x. Data does not turn on when lock screen is checked, only when phone is unlocked. At that point, I see the juice defender icon has a red dot to indicate no data connection. It then turns blue and cell data turns on momentarily while wifi connects. The pull down menu indicates "screen" as the trigger got starting data.
Rooted just the other day, flashed the stock minus bloatware ROM (tesh's streamlined version 1) yesterday, juice defender still working fine.

Its working fine for me.

This thing works well for me but
i'm not sure about the features that require root. Id be very curious to hear if anyone has got the 2g/3g/4g toggle to work as well as any of the other features that require root on the stock ROM.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk

I just bought the Ultimate version. I intend to put some screenshots up after a few days to show if there are any differences between the battery life I have been experiencing with this phone and what I experience with Juice Defender installed and working on it.
Obviously, there will be some tweaking going on to get it set up properly but hopefully I will have everything figured out very shortly. I have high hopes for this application though I realize I am likely going to have to root the phone to gain access to the 2g/3g/4g toggle function. That is likely to save me the most battery power when I am out of the house and office while still allowing synchronization all of the time.

It worked good for me just had one complaint. It takes a few secs to connect from screen off. But it does save some battery.

[Q] Network problem

So here I am. I'm using this forum so much and i've always found everything i need so i don't post often. But now i've a problem and i can't find out the solution.
So.. i've got a Nexus and use FoxHound ROM. I also use JuiceDefender. The problem is after a couple of times i wake the screen the network doesn't start.
I explain. I've got signal, i can receive messages and calls, but the network doesn't start. I can't access the internet. Neither market, or any app that uses mobile data. I've tried to disable Juice Defender, to manually reactivate the data, but i have to reboot and that's annoying. Any ideas?
Ah, WiFi works properly and so does bluetooth. Thanks.

Hold 'Power' button and activate 'Data Network Mode' if available.

I don't have that option.

so you disable and uninstall Juice Defender, then reboot, and it still does this?

I haven't tried to uninstall Juice Defender but if i disable it, the network doesn't restart. The fact is that if i don't use juice defender the network doesn't go off.

Uninstall JD and then check if the problems still persists or not!

The problem disapper as soon as i disable juice defender and reboot, but i think the problem is the network doesn't turn on after a couple of times i turn it off.

So, you tried unistalling it, right?
Well, you must have checked the data network settings?
Do you have any other app that can block services like NQ Mobile Security?

So... the problem was Juice Defender lol. Unless you can reproduce the exact problem with JD uninstalled.

Don't ask why but now everything works fine..

Yeah JD is deff the problem here, that why I quit using it! It for some reason sucks on the GN. Only use I have for it now is when Im at festivals and it would prop be just as easy to enable/disable airplane mode manually.

Disabling phone feature completely

Hi
Have a note 2 n7100X live demo. After playing around with it and a few ROMs cm10.1 seems to work well with no freezing meaning I can use it as a tablet device which is cool.
However, while battery performance is far from terrible 'mobile standby' is using up the most by far despite a live demo not being able to take a sim card etc.
So my question is this, is there any way to disable the phone feature in its entirety?
Cheers

Could you please post the battery stats?
I believe you can freeze the phone.apk file using titaniu backup.
Also, whether you tried having your phone in Airplane mode?
Because generally a phone will try searching for a SIM card and waste it's battery till it finds one. Putting in airplane mode disables the mobile networks. So, the phone won't look for SIM Card. Try this It might work.

Cheers for the reply
I can't figure how to take a screenshot of battery on cm but its at 67% for mobile standby. That's on overall 84% from 8 hours. Like I said not too bad so I can't complain too much but I wouldn't mind just disabling it to save a bit more
The thing with airplane is it kills WiFi too unless there's a way to stop that happening?

Once in flight mode you can turn on Wi-Fi. Phone will continue in flight mode but with Wi-Fi on.

Even with aeroplane mode on mobile standby is still chewing though the battery. Not sure if its the demo handset or cm10.1.
I've tried freezing the phone apk but of anyone else has any suggestions that would be awesome

Assuming you are on 5.0.1 Lollipop, did you factory reset after the update? Many people have experienced problems after the update but have seen factory resets correct problems.
While on the wifi settings page (the screen where you find the list of wifi networks available), touch the three dots in the upper right corner and select Advanced.
Uncheck (turn off) the option to "Always allow scanning"
You can also turn off the first option of Network notification to stop it from trying to find open networks in range.
hope this helps.

Thanks for the response,
I am on 5.0.1, I did factory reset twice, Cleaned cache multiple times
"Always allow scanning" is already turned off
Network notification is also turned off (unchecked)
Funny thing is , I put the phone in Airplane mode (wifi off too) for a while and battery graph still shows WiFi on and phone awake

The Wifi thing is a lollipop bug.
It'll always show as on even when it's off.

That bug must not hit every lollipop phone because my wifi doesn't show as on all the time. When it's off, it's off.

Weird... mine does.
Are you running any special apps (like battery savers)? What Wifi settings are you using? Is Power Saving Mode on or off?
I'm curious now. But yeah, several Note 4 users on the non-ATT Note 4 thread are reporting this issue as well and so were many Nexus users.

No battery savers or apps designed to conserve battery; power saving modes off. All I did to wifi settings was turn off scanning and notification. I have a long list of apps that I disabled since I knew for sure I wasn't going to use them. I screenshot them below if you're interested.

Ok I was wrong. My phone doesn't show wifi always on. I kept wifi off all day and it showed correctly. BUT I think it did show as always awake on the previous Lollipop update. (I'm on COC4 now).
And btw, I have all the same apps turned off as you except Samsung Push Service because it seems to not sync S Note with my Samsung account (I have a Note tablet too) and Amazon because I use it.

Update
I did some further digging , based on the amount of battery used.
1. Cerberus App was using a lot of battery, so uninstalled and re-installed it... the Constant AWAKE problem is gone
waiting a few days to make sure that problem was really gone
2. Uninstalled "LLAMA" app and now WiFi does NOT show as always on

Having the exact same issue on my galaxy s6. Just turned on clash after picking up the phone and the resolution looks like as compared to my joke Moto X (2013). It's worst when zoomed way out and fine when zoomed way in. Maggie everywhere. What the **** supercell.
