Is there a way we can make this happen?
I remember on my sensation sense ROMs, when someone sent me a MMS my data will auto turn on and when done downloading it will turn back off.
It was very helpful plus saved battery.

Titles pretty confusing. I don't think you can do that on this phone. But I doubt it'd save that much battery anyway. These phones automatically drop to a 2g or 3g connection when not in use specifically to save power.

so i just flashed this new rom (infamous s3 v2.1) i really love this rom.
but the battery dies real fast..
i never turn on my wifi. i leave the standby thing for wifi on never.
i turn off basically everything except for my data.
i usually watch a lot of korean dramas and browse the web.
i was also wondering if flashing kernels would help increase my battery life and if so, how?
i really need help guys!
thanks for taking the time to look at this
For starters, turn on wifi whenever you can. Networ data uses a lot mire battery than wifi does. Wifi only uses excess battery when its constantly scanning for a connection. turn both off when not needed.
Also, any features you don't constantly use, turn off when not needed. Smart stay, auto brightness, auto sync, etc.

I use the cpu sleeper app which turns off one core when the screens off.

Also Frosty Ics and JB roms get pretty great battery life.

Yeah I don't have any of those on like smart stay or motion and anything else.

What is this "horrible battery life" you speak of? Maybe it isn't horrible, maybe it's just to you?

Just wondering if anyone knows why when I turn of data especially, my phone can go 24 hours in one charge but leaving data on all the time diminishes the battery life. Is it a modem thing? I always had battery issue but turning off data seems to help a check lot. Thanks in advanced.

Do you often leave the coverage area? Because constantly searching for network when there is none will eat battery. Also If you have data on it will allow background apps to use the internet, which consumes power as well.
You probably are getting a much stronger signal when it isn't trying to stay connected to mobile data.
The weaker your signal the greater the battery drain. Often when you enable data you get a weaker sig.
Also make sure its not set to wcdma only.

I'm in pretty good coverage area.

It is pretty normal for you to have more battery consumption with the data on than off. I had a myTouch 3G slide that could go for 3 days if I left the data off. Check to see if you have any apps that are being synchronized too often because that could be causing your phone to die quicker than normal.
With data off apps can't update(refresh) right? That should keep them from waking the system up.

Try having wifi on when possible if you dont want to disable data.

lol! My slide was/is a beast! Dropped, kicked, slammed, scraped, you name it! Not a scratch on the glass! Cover looks like it was in an explosion!
Still use it for an alarm.

If they are set to sync they will still try. You have to turn off sync. But if they can't get out they still don't transmit so still less battery use.

Yeah that will probably fix the issue. When I was on TW, under the battery tab, I noticed that my phone would wake often during the night. Now with the data off, it stays asleep longer. I think ill have to use something like juice defender that enables and disabled data automatically

I keep losing data randomly and the only fix is to cycle airplane mode. Any idea what's going on?

I'm having the same issue but the app didn't fix anything. It only started the last week or two, and I've only been using CM10 and nothing else. I've flashed the different radios, including the new one, the L7? Did that today and still haven't noticed any thing different.
Not sure if it's the ROM after a certain date or something.
I have always had roaming on and national roaming on too. Never had issues in getting 4G until the data started cutting out completely.
Any other suggestions? I don't think apps are going to help.
It also seems that I'll have WiFi when the phone is on, but when I put it to sleep, it switches to data. When using data in the car and I put the phone to sleep, then it goes from data to no-data.
Real frustrating.

That app is just a gimmick... why else would it hide the status bar? It most likely just toggles airplane mode like i have been.
same issue also I am on codefirex 11/11/12 build. for me I will lose 3g after approx 30 mins of use and then no service....so I reboot the pH and I get 3g back.

Yes, use it now (Ulitmate) I have found nothing wrong personally. Mine's set for Data on with screen on, Data off screen off.. I don't have a schedule set or anything (i'm always off and on the phone anyway) does increase the battery life a bit.. Download, try it for a bit.. see what you think overall.
I did use it before, just the light version. it was indeed a battery extender. But now I am using ON(X).

Well i have have it on my e4gt and it works great but sometimes it force closes

Nope. IMO, battery saving apps like Juice defender burn more battery than they claim to save.

What does that app do?

Juice defender WILL help. I get about 24hrs to a charge. It simply disables data/location/wifi when not in use and can be customized to run different ways for different apps
-SlimBean...the bulimic's choice for the Galaxy III
Hope this helps. It's fully customizable and it does wonders. U can train it to learn your wifi and after a while, never touch the toggle again. Use it for games so they don't go online and pick up those annoying ads (if your unrooted). And u can schedule when the net comes on to get emails and so forth when your not touching you phone.

I've the free one. It works out pretty well. Same usage I've got on average two to three extra hours.

Been using Ultimate from the beginning and if set up correctly is the difference between night and day for battery life. It works very well with no problems whatsoever on my end.
+1 When setup properly it can save a lot of juice. Or turn data off when not needed it will save a little more than using JD. But I rather have JD running so things are seamless. For Streaming audio like Spotify I find setting for enable/screen off works the best.

Be honest and tell people you have an extended battery.
i got a small issue with JD ultimate:
i set it quite correctly i think, but then, it prevents datas from coming to my phone, even when they're enabled.
let me explain better:
i set it so datas are off when screen is off and on when screen is on.
so i turn my phone on, datas take smth like 5 to 10 seconds to enable, everything normal till here, then the small H or G appear meaning i'm connected through 3G, but even then, i'm still offline... i wait, and wait 5 mins, but still, the H or G is visible on top right of my screen but.. no data.
i disable juice defender, restart my phone, didn't solve.
then i uninstall it completely, restard my phone, and everything works fine again...
anyone could help me on this one?
Is there a certain apn I could use to only send mms and not have data turned on or be used by background app data (T-Mobile)?
Sent from my SGH-T679 using xda app-developers app
I don't think there's a way to do that, but you should actually still get MMS with your data turned off. You just won't be able to view it till you turn on data for like a few seconds. If its your data you're afraid going over or wasting only turn on to download your MMS messages which, like I said, should only take a few seconds where it'd be hard for many other apps to really get to also use it.
