So I notice this occuring on Gingerbread, as well as ICS 4.0.4...
I usually have WiFi calling enabled because I use it in my house, and at my office. The problem is when I leave my house or my office while WiFi calling is enabled, it will not switch to data automatically unless I press the power button to show the lock screen. Then the data works fine.
Does this happen to anyone else? Is there a work around?
I have my WiFi set to always be enabled even during sleep.
Try toggling airplane mode instead of rebooting

I never said I had to reboot. I just have to press the power button to wake up the device in order to get service again. It's like it stays stuck in WiFi whether it's connected or not.
Check your advanced wifi options - hit the menu button when in regular wifi options - and see if keep wifi on during sleep is checked. Also maybe the idle timeout length?

I said it was in sleep mode, should I turn that off? I mean if it's on sleep, then I won't be able to get calls or messages since I'll barely have service in my basement or office...
Not sure, that's why I suggested the time out length. I don't need wifi much, but I've had similar issues coming off the subway with data not coming back immediately. Usually switching airplane mode on and off makes it work.

i have 2 gnex phones that both just updated to 4.2, and prior to the update, when i turned on airplane mode, cell data would turn off but wifi would be left on.
after the 4.2 update, one phone continues to work that way, with airplane mode on, cell data is turned off but wifi is left on. the other phone, enabling airplane mode turns off both wifi and cell data.
i know that apps are not able to toggle airplane mode anymore (AutoAP) because of security changes but why would airplane mode work differently on 2 phones running the same 4.2 build?
both phones are running stock android, no root, no flashing.
is there a setting i'm missing? was this something in the update that other people are experiencing?
thanks for the help!
Can't you just toggle wifi back on after?

yes, but it immediately shuts wifi back off.
with airplane mode on, i can go to the wifi settings screen, and hit the toggle, it turns on, scans, finds the local wifi, connects and at the same moment it connects the wifi on/off toggle flips back to off.
just seems weird that it is happening with this phone but mine is working as expected...
Then you must go back to 4.1.2 with 4.2 gapps.

any idea why it would work with one 4.2 phone and not the other?
seems odd i'd have to backport one phone but leave the other at 4.2
This happens on my Nexus 4. Airplane mode constantly disables WiFi, no matter what. And yes the app AutoAP doesn't work either.
I have found this app, Airplane Mode Wi-Fi Tool, funny that it was made for Android versions prior to 2.0.
The actual app doesn't seem to work (to enable/disable airplane mode and WiFi), but within the app lies a nifty feature in the Preferences menu under Extras:
Keep Wi-fi On
Wi-fi on Airplane Mode
Check both of those and you should be able to turn Airplane mode on and then keep WiFi on.
Cheers.

i could check "keep wifi on" but whenever i went back to that settings page, it was unchecked again. like it was refusing to save.
the rest of the settings saved.

im on ARHD 7.0.0 and even in prior versions, when airplane mode was turned on wifi would turn off but it could be turned back on. how come your wifi stays on during the airplane mod transition?
Isn't airplane mode means disable any active radio transmission includes Wi-Fi which is sent and receive data ?
If you just wanna stay off calls why don't you just use automatic redirect incoming calls to voice mail or just simply pull out the sim card?

Airplane mode is supposed to turn wifi off (its a transceiver). However, You can turn it back on while airplane mode is activated and still have the other functions off.
That how airplane mode is supposed to work, thats not a bug, every phone ive had does this

i don't know why, but wifi always has always stayed on when switching to AP mode since i got our Gnex phones in sept. (4.1 i think). wifi even stayed enable when switching to AP mode in my old crappy kin two.
and i think it must be fairly common based upon the instructions in the $30 cell service thread, but i'm no android expert so maybe i'm wrong.

There's a lot of talk about this. Check the [GUIDE] to voip/$30/month plans. But it sounds like google moved it into part of core services or something like that. So none of the autoap type programs work any more. But one member had this suggestion below in that other thread. Gotta buy Tasker, but should be able to get back to working like AutoAP did.
Download Secure Settings. Launch Secure Settings, go over to the Helper tab and install the helper. Then go to Tasker. Go into your task and delete the Airplane Mode radio step and the Airplane mode on step. Then hit the + at the bottom left, go to Plugins, select Secure Settings. Hit edit. Scroll down to "Airplane Mode Radios" and select it, and then select "Cell" from the dropdown. Hit the save button at the bottom left and select the check mark to create the task. Move the task where it needs to be by dragging on the right side up and down. Then create a new task, Plugins, Secure Settings, edit, Airplane mode, on, save button, check mark, move to position. You can figure out the rest. Works perfectly.
Llama works as well, it's free and looks less complicated

Many thanks. Got this working after playing with Secure Settings and Tasker, works great...:good:

keep wifi on in airplane mode
I guess I have figured out how to do it with Tasker or Secure Settings.
Both have two actions like "Airplane Mode" and "Airplane Radios", so the second one doesn't turn off anything, but set, what to control with "Airplane Mode" action. Setting seems to be system wide and permanent (saved after reboot).
Good luck
hi, i am using an original samsung book cover purchased at amazon (48 euros) and was happy with it. however, i noticed that when closed my data connection is deactivated automatically. i tried to search under the settings but i could not find it. is there any settings we could changed to enable data always while the cover is closed? one more thing, when my screen turns off, the data will also be disabled, how can the settings be changed for this? i could find the settings for this but even if i enable the data when the screen is off, it deactivated it. is it because i'm rooted with CF-auto root? i'm running nf8
thanks
Never heard of this. I checked mine and it works. I have the WiFi only one. Do you have the LTE version?
Do you have power saving mode turned on?
Trying toggling it on and off.

No, i didn't turn on the power saving mode and i also have set the timeout to never under the advance settings for mobile hotspot. This might be a bug for NF8? i have to open the cover again to activate the data.
Mobile Hotspot? You mean WLAN - settings - extended… ?!

Has anyone seen a wireless charging adaptor that comes with a connect that makes Android think it's on a dock. The situation I'm in is I use a wireless charging dock at work. I would love to set it so that when the adaptor is connected it will start the screensaver.
You can also start the screen saver automatically when the pixel is charged. Not only when it is in a dock.

I thought of that. The only issue is my phone lays on my bed while I sleep. I would like a solution that doesn't require me to turn it off and on everyday.
I've never seen one. Logically I'm not sure how this would even be possible?
Maybe you could use something like Tasker to disable screensaver based on time of day or location.

Turning the function on or off depending on something like the home wifi network may be another way.
It looks like the following shell commands can turn the screensaver on or off:
settings put secure screensaver_enabled 1
settings put secure screensaver_enabled 0
To run a shell command with Tasker it's necessary to use root. Another way to do it without root is to grant permission to an app, such as AutoTools Secure Settings.

Hi
I've got myself an OnePlus 7T and also enjoying my Pixel 4. On the Pixel 4 it is possible via third party app to automate the on/off of Dark Mode. However I cannot see it's possible with the OnePlus 7 Series?
I've heard that it's somehow possible with Tasker. But has anyone here experience with that?
Thanks.
Go into developer options. There should be an option to force dark mode

It's there, but I wouldn't use it. It makes elements/texts wrong color on many apps that probably don't support it.
I.ie grey text on black background,

Yea. Tasker makes it a breeze. You can automate it however you want.
Spesific apps can turn it on, others can turn it off.
Certain schedule, time or days, you can make it every weeknight, two hours Saturday and the whole of Sunday if you want.
Connected to WiFi networks or Bluetooth devices can enable it.
You can even have it enabled during low light only, or under a certain threshold. The list is unlimited ?

Nice. But is this system wide ? Do you have any Tasker scripts or what it's called that can do this? ?

Tasker only changes system settings, it doesn't "create" its own stuff. So basically It's simply toggling the dark mode on or off depending on the parameters you set. If your phone has system wide setting, then that's what it'll toggle.
It's an automation tool that can automate what you currently do manually.
Have you got tasker? Have you played with it?
Just create a profile you want, for example: time
Then set the parameters (example 7pm to 7am)
Then choose an action, search for dark mode. You can either set it to toggle or to on/off
If set to on, make an exit task too, again chose dark mode and off.
If you want a certain app to trigger it, then choose that app, etc. You can have an or or conditions etc.
Think: If this and this but not that then X.
Look at tasker tutorials for more parameter alternatives.
