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.

You're right. I was being a spastic as normal. Cheers!

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.
Has anyone tried juice defender with the gnex and if so have you seen any differences in battery life (what are your settings)

I had juice from 645a to 11pm... All the way down to 6%... Light web surfing, email, a couple of phone calls, and pandora for an hour with bluetooth headphones connected... So i think it helped a little...
all those apps are just b.s.
all they do is disable your data when the screen is off.
you want to see some real battery saving wonder?... put it in 'airplane mode'(at least when you aren't planning on using your phone at all & not expecting any calls).
if anything, just turn off 'mobile data' when you aren't using data and that's the best thing you can do.

Pony up and get tasker at that point. I use a data toggle widget personally.
Cast by the Odinson's mighty Mjolnir!
Putting it in APM would also disable cell and text functionality.
Tasker is powerful, but not use friendly (I'm STILL reading tutorials and the wiki..), while JD is much more accessible. I'm moving away from JD because I'm seeing weird bugs on my GNex (not sure if it's JD, the GN or Verizon) and Tasker seems like it'll be the bees-knees when I get a hang of it..
Edit:
Sorry for the necro.
I am looking to buy the Nitro HD for WiFi only use and maybe occasional prepaid use. I will flash to some deodexed ROM or maybe CM9 so I am not so concerned about software issues in the stock ROM.
What I am more concerned about is - how are the cameras for Skype/Google Video etc?
Any way to turn off all radios except WiFi by default everytime the phone starts up?
Thanks.
^^bump^^
I'll chime in here, I use mine as a wifi only device. As far as Skype/google video goes, video calls are great. I don't have a Sim card in mine and the mobile settings are greyed out which I'm assuming the cellular is off.
I'm currently running the latest cm9 nightlies and the device keeps getting better and better.
Battery life is definitely better than gingerbread. Battery life is within reason for a device this powerful while on wifi. The only battery drain I've found is being out of range of a wifi area. It seems the device goes on over drive looking for wifi and within an hour, majority of your battery is dead. This might be a CM9 issue, I'm not sure on that. Just remember to turn off your wifi when out and about.
Thanks for the response. I got myself a used one for $200 today off Craigslist. Will put leaked ICS ROM on it
Looks much sweeter than my iPhone 4S!!
UP！UP!
The super screen is eye candy. Using wifi it will last for 5-7 hours, while using 3g only for 2-3 hours.
For these two reasons, i often use it only as WIFI.
Will somebody introduce a super airplane mode without shutdown of WIFI？

Get dx battery saver, put it into sleep mode, then activate wifi.

You don't need any special app. Just enable airplane mode, then enable wifi.

If there is /system/etc/settings.xml, modify it about what is airplane mode （this is, remove “wifi” in the lines of "airplane-mode" ）.

Don't forget reboots
Anyways, sold off my Nitro and moved on. Thanks for all the responses.
I was wondering if this was occurring for anyone especially when you turn on the screen and I can see that the wifi slider tab that indicates on/off turns on when I wake up the device. I also can't connect to any wi-fi networks since it just shuts off randomly within the minute or two that I connect to a network....
I am stock, rooted with Note2core kernel.
Me too
Yes, I just noticed this today, after having this phone for 2 days. I can start up a Wi-Fi connection to my home network, and after 3-4 minutes, it just drops off. Once it drops off wi-fi, it waits about 2 minutes and reconnects back to my home Wi-Fi.
Right now, I suspect that it might have something to do with power. Today is the first day that I have not charged the phone at all during the day. I am at 30% battery now. I started noticing the network shutoff this afternoon, I suspect when I was in the 50% battery range.
I put my phone on the charger to see if that might stop the wi-fi drop outs, but it hasn't yet.
I will tell you that I have done most of my fiddling using the Wi-Fi setup of the settings menu. As a check, I went in to the AT&T Smart Wi-Fi app and started my home Wi-Fi from there. My connection still dropped off after 4 minutes, but the AT&T app told me that my connection had gone into sleep mode.
I'm hoping that everything will return to normal in the morning after I get my battery back up in the 80%-90% range. I have been able to find any power setting that would cause the Wi-Fi to cycle like this.

Edited to add that I am stock, no roms or rooting.
From another thread... and it addressed the issue for me...
Delete all saved wifis.
Open the servicemode with
*#197328640#
Open the wifi menu via menu button and deactivate the energy saving mode.
Reconfigure your wifi.

ghicks, you are correct...
I tried this last night, and I have gone all night without a drop out, but I did sleep a couple of hours in there.
As a side note, I did have to reboot my phone after making this change.
Good luck
I had this issue until I froze the ATT smart wifi app with Titanium Backup. No problems since.

I also have not had this problem since I froze the ATT Smart Wifi app.
I figured it was some power saving option that I had not yet found, but I never saw it happen again after freezing all the bloat. Didn't think about it again until I saw this post.
Can someone tell me how to freeze the at&t smart wifi?
Doesn't seem that freezing the ATT app works (using Titanium Backup, selecting app, and freeze). And disabling WiFi energy saver in the engineering menu resets after a reboot...

A few of us in another thread have disabled our AT&T smart wifi app and have fixed our wifi disconnecting problem. We've done this by uninstalling any updates for the app and then disabling the app all through application manager in settings.

Thanks for the replies. It seems one can un install the smart wifi from the play store? I have not done it, but that option is available in play store.
This problem returned for me today. I have tried to use the code to reset the power save setting, but it isn't working for me.
I'm at 57% battery, and I just noticed this at around 65%.

Been about an hoursince my last update...
I turned off the energy saver mode in service mode. It dropped the wifi a couple of minutes after I did so. I verified that energy saver mode was still turned off in service mode.
I rebooted my phone, and I haven't dropped my Wi-Fi since. I went back in to service mode and verified that rebooting did restore energy saving mode to ON.
So, simply rebooting the phone is what helped me today. Since I am presently at 46% battery, it doesn't appear that battery levels alone are enough to kick this behavior in.
I don't know...
See attached pic. Obviously, it hasnt actually been off charger over a day as shown by the gain on the graph. It has actually been about 12 hrs.
Ive tried various roms (aosp, stock, dn3, 4.1.2 - 4.4). The phone has no sim, i basically use it as a glorified ipod. It is always in airplane mode, everything connectivity wise is off except wifi. Why would the cell radio be using 61% of the battery when it is supposed to be off? Is there another way to disable it?
Sent from my GT-N7105 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
After trying a variety of things, the best battery I have managed is ~22 hours, with light use, everything sync off, minimal apps.
The cell radio still eats 50%+ of the battery. Even in airplane mode, checking the radio via terminal still shows it is on.
Is there a way to just kill the radio entirely? Flash a bad image, a kernel without a modem driver... anything? It never need work as a phone again, so I'm open to anything.
