I am using LauncherPro and my 4G radio seems to turn on by itself automatically a few times a day. Is anyone else having this issue?

Are you using a rooted phone? if so what rom and what else have you added to it. Plus, if this is the issue, uninstall and use HTC sense, if it sill does it. then maybe your hitting the button?
do you have the 4g switch on your homepage? i heard that can cause problems when launcherpro crashes and reloads your 4g will be on. something worth looking at.
If you're using the non HTC 4g widget that was floating around, one of the bugs it has is it always starts off as "ON" when you boot...
It happened to me that the GPS turned on automatically, and I didn't open maps or anything, draining my battery. So when it starts doing this funcky stuff, just reboot.
I was rooted but now I'm not so I am back to stock. I did install the custom widget that was posted on this forum but no longer have it installed as I am using the one from Switch Pro now. I uninstalled the other one.
I had the same problem after installing the new SwitchPro Widgets. I resolved it by turning off the 4g Network notification. Settings>Wireless&Networks>4g Settings>Network Notification.
But doesn't that just turn off the notification? I don't want the radio coming on when I don't need it.
Turning off the notification caused the 4g to not auto enable, for me. I can't say why, just that it worked. I never saw the auto enable issue prior to installing SwitchPro Widgets, which I think are great by the way, so I'm not bashing the product.
I will give that a shot.
Thanks.
You're not alone
Was having the same problem with SwitchPro for my rooted incredible (also not 4g but 3g). I think it had something to do with how this and maybe other apps poll/access the settings for mobile network. Uninstalled switchpro and all is better.
its too bad i love the interface of switchpro
I had the same issue. I turn off 4G notification and everything is good now.
I use Switchpro.
Thanks, I didn't know what was turning on my 4G by itself, but now I know SwitchPro is the culprit.

That doesn't work. I don't even have the notification turned on and it still does it. It's because of SwitchPro as it never turned on automatically until I installed it.

Happened to me too, but he's somewhat right.
I had 4G Network notification turned off when I installed SwitchPro, but my 4G was automatically turning on also, especially after reboots.
So here's what I did to fix it.
Turn on 4G
Turn on Network notification
Turn off Network notification
Turn off 4G
Still have SwitchPro installed and 4G toggle on my widget, but 4G hasn't turned on automatically since...

Interesting... I'll try that.
Bump. Anyone have any success resolving this issue. Tried the above solutions with no luck.

Well this turn on/off notification kinda work but only for a while...
If you do the trick, 4G won't tun on automatically anymore. But if you manually turn on 4G and then turn off and reboot your phone (actually you don't need to reboot, a flight mode is enough to show the effect), 4G will be turned on automatically again...
Again, non of the 3rd party switches figured out how exactly this 4G switch work.

This is also how i did it.
Can this be done? I tried switching on airplane mode, and then enabling Wifi/BT individually -- won't let me.
So, how do I turn off the cell radio, but turn on Wifi to take advantage in-flight wifi?
Also, when using local media, I'd like to sometimes turn off the cell radio to save power but listen with my BT headset.
I'm probably a total dufus and this is obvious, but I can't find it. This was easy to control on my WM Omnia II. I still like my Epic a bajillion times better, but this is a bit annoying.
Airplane mode cuts off all communications. Hence, "airplane mode"
There's some apps that'll let you do that, as well as Froyo when we get it officially, or if you want to run a leaked version.

Tasker will allow you to switch off the radio only. You would have to just set up a widget for that particular task.
In the leaked froyo, I had airplane mode on to test it and I put the wifi on byaccident and it was working with no cell signal, but I figured it was just a bug with it considering its beta and when ever I did tht before, airplane mode will cut off. I'm glad to know its a part of froyo now...that's going to come in handy

I'm running Android 2.2 and it isn't working for me -- once airplane mode is enabled, Wifi and BT will not turn on.
I would hope that in a future version of Android they will simply add the cell radio to the icons so it can be turned off like the others.
Can't you go to your settings, under wireless and networks, and disable 3g data?

Since they offer wifi on airplanes this is wrong

You can however it will still be looking for a cell signal to use for voice.
Exactly. I don't get reception in the building I work in, so I don't want it to drain the battery trying to find signal.
I'm running stock EC05 and I can turn wifi on in airplane mode (I can't speak for bluetooth though). GPS, however, does not work once you turn airplane mode on.

That's odd. I am running SFR 1.1.1 and if I turn on airplane mode and then push the Wifi icon, the text changes to "on" but the blue light never turns on -- it's as if it's trying to turn on but can't.
GPS works just fine -- it never switches off in the first place when I turn on airplane mode.

That's because GPS is rx only. It doesn't need to tx to acquire a GPS lock.

Anyone know if Android 2.3 supports turning off just the cell radio?

I've been trying to figure this out as well as I'm going out of the country and will be carrying my phone.
Only way I found to do it is:
1. In the dialer press###
2. Click view, and write down your MSID# and msn#, than go into edit
3. You will see your phone number and a box on the bottom that says touch here. Touch there.
4. Keypad should appear. Just press enter.
5. Another screen showing your MSID number should come up almost instantly. Press enter again.
6. Back out of this menu and your radio will be off (may turn off sooner, once it's off it's off)
Done
*MUST USE AREA CODE WHEN INPUTTING PHONE NUMBER*
now for the important part.
Turn your radio back on.
1.same as previous steps except instead of just pressing enter when the key pad comes up, input your phone number than press enter.
2. Input your msid number on the second screen and press enter
3. Click done on the main menu. Phone will reset.
Process honestly takes 30 second once you have your msl.
Edit: only issue I have is after the reboot when u turn your radio back on, the phone asks for your gmail password again.
So occasionally, but often enough that I am bothered by it, my Droid Pro refuses to turn on data (the 3G or 1X in the notification bar) despite having perfect signal and trying to use apps that require data. It is not a setting that is wrong, I think, because sometimes the data will turn on by itself and 100% of the time can be fixed with a reboot. A reboot of course takes minutes, so I was wondering if there were a way to jumpstart the data connection besides a reboot. Turning airplane mode on and off doesn't seem to help, only a reboot does. Have many of you encountered this issue?
I've been such a problem when switching from CDMA mode to GSM.
+1
I have the same issues with GSM/3G and often also with wlan.
It sucks.
I haven't found an easy way to get back online fast. The phone does what it wants.

Does nobody else ever have this problem?? It is always fixable by a reboot but I was wondering if anyone else knows a different way?
It seems that problem is gone away with the update...

Okay so I seem to be having a slight problem.
I've had my Nexus 4 for almost a week now I previously had my HTC dream and I would have an auto airplane mode toggle since the HTC dream didn't have that great of a battery life. So when I got my nexus I got juice defender + which has night schedules and an auto airplane mode toggle as well. It didn't work. First I thought maybe its a bug in the app. Did some digging around and saw someone had the same error and tried the suggested didn't work. I figured okay maybe I'll get the same app I had before for airplane mode toggle. And behold it didn't work either. So this is when I thought to myself I honestly don't know what it could be.
My battery life isn't bad its actually really good with around a day and half of battery and a good amount of screen usage. But honestly I don't use my phone at night and that auto toggle is useful since I don't wake up easily in the morning and I usually wake up for school because my girlfriend would call me to wake up. Several calls. Either way I know I can manually switch to airplane mode but I would really like that auto toggle since I won't get the calls since I'll be in airplane mode. Anyone have an idea what's up? I'm using CyanogenMod10.1 Nightly and I'm running 3.4.0 Franko Kernel Nightly.
I also installed AOSP helper manually since JD couldn't install it.

What does this setting do?
Check out the attachment.
There is some mention of this function here but no real explanation.

I think it turns your phone on (if powered off) for the alarm to sound.
Android has more than it's share of cryptic and undocumented settings. This isn't one of them though, it does just as it says.

You'd think I wouldn't be here asking about it if that's what it was. Come on guys. I've tried it, it doesn't work like you said. It didn't power on my phone. So the question is: is this a coming feature or does it do something else completely?
No, it's the reverse of what you are thinking AFAIK. And consistent with the behaviour on my S5 i.e. prevents auto power down if enabled, so that your phone remains on (during the pre-alarm period), so that an alarm will remain viable. Your alarms will not work if the phone is powered off.
As noted in the source or more precisely, git repository annotations
<string name="auto_power_deactivate_alarm">Pre-alarm power on enabled. To enable Auto power on/off, disable Pre-alarm power on under Alarms

Confirming that if you want the auto power on/off feature enabled, you need to uncheck the alarms item. So the auto power on/off feature and giving priority to the alarm are mutually exclusive. Also note that this is a CSC specific feature, so the autopoweronoff class may not exist for all CSC versions.
.
I never even saw that setting until I saw this thread so I was guessing as to what it does.
I have the Verizon version of the Galaxy S5 and the only menu options I have are "Delete" and "Date and time".
Would be nice if that feature was available and worked, phones during the pre-Android days would automatically turn on at alarm time so you could keep your phone off at night.

IPhones have this feature. This needs to come to Android already!:silly:
