Cell standby consumption

Hey guys, just got my new play and loving it. However no matter how much I use it, the cellular standby ALWAYS consumes more battery life than display. That includes playing hours of final fantasy games on it. And yes I do have juice defender set to aggressive. So Whats the deal here? Cheers!

Juice defender gave me worse battery life than without it. I would recommend putting a shortcut to your settings on a home screen and turning off data manually instead. JD eats CPU cycles and thus uses unnecessary battery power.

Go into settings, wireless and networks, then tap mobile networks. Go to network operators and change the search mode from automatic to manual problem solved

[Q] How to force Samsung Galaxy GIO to stay on 3G ?

I am using GIO as wireless access point for my notebook, but in 90 % of cases when I am calling someone or someone is calling me it automatically switches to 2G and of course dropping internet connection.
When using it as AP its always connected to charger.
There is no option in stock rom to make it stay at 3G , there is only option to force 2G.
Was trying to uncover "secret" menu using "any cut" application but no luck with it.
I am using stock 2.3.4 Android , was trying 2.3.6 but there is no option to force 3G either.
I saw there is such menu to force 3G on SGS2 / SGN but not on GIO
How can I force Samsung Galaxy GIO to stay on 3G while talking with someone ?

press the menu buttons, go to settings, see if you can select hardware or something, enable it and save

Could you check please if radio is working for you on default app / Spirit FM ?

if you're using stock rom, try this combination *#2263#
select wcdma band preference then select wcdma all
if want to restore the setting, just repeat the combination and select automatic

Is there a way to set an APN and have it stay?

If there is that would be nice, LTE is killing my battery. I'm rooted on stock, but I'm not terribly opposed to switching to another touchwiz rom if necessary. Thanks!

I would imagine setting up the 3G APN and deleting the LTE APN would do the trick.

Doesn't let you delete the old one

Oh, didn't see your edited post. I assumed you were on a custom rom. In case of stock, no idea, sorry.

Oh ok, thanks anyways!

You shouldn't have to delete the old one. You **should** be able to make a new one and set it as the default.

Yes either use new apn and set as default or better yet just change the network mode of the phone to the second option so that it never looks for the lte in the first place! (GSM/hspa auto mode instead of GSM/hspa/lte auto mode). U should see this network mode option if not use dialer *#2263# and then select any non lte option u want. If ur rooted then u have options! But simple network mode change is by far easiest. Settings/more settings(under data usage) mobile networks and network mode.

It's 4g, don't be fooled by the icon. I think it's fixed in the nightly

I might be wrong but I thought that I had read somewhere that it stays on 3G to conserve battery then switches to 4G(H+) when you actually use it.

That's correct! Since 4g eats more battery. Makes since bro!

[Q] what app can do screen off auto turn to 2G,screen on turn back to 4G?

I want to save battery life ....

I do not know about the app but there is one problem. Sometimes I download large files and i do not want to keep my screen awake all the time. But if it switches the connection to 2g from 3g (or vica versa) it disconnects for one second and the download fails.. So that could be a problem for downloading large files.

if can set the timer,that problem can fix

Juice defender can do that I think. Haven't tried it myself I don't use that app anymore, but I believe there was an option in it to toggle between 3g and 2g. However, you have to have root access and a kernal/rom that supports it. Stock kernals don't support allowing you to switch between 2g to 3g without doing it manually yourself through the settings, so you probably need to find a custom one that does.

You'll need a mod ROM to get full use of Tasker for battery improvement. Stock ROM doesn't allow 2G/3G switching.
I understand that CM10 allows this.
Someone should confirm, as I've stuck to rooted stock rom in SIII and plan to keep the same on Note II.
