I was looking at some of the items in the debug test menu.
I decided to see if toggling ciphering would help with edge/3g network throughput. I've been struggling with 3g/edge speed (the flip flop thing was fixed in the first radio update by google).
So I went into the debug test menu at *#*#4636#*#* and toggled ciphering off. I'm now getting 2x better speed on Edge here at work. ~150kbps vs ~80 to timeouts with it off.
I ran the test 3times with off, 3 times with on, then 3 more with off. I used speed test with same destination selected. The phone was at the exact same position on my desk. I know there is some overhead with ciphering, but THIS much?
BTW, using stock rom with all stock updates (Only applied -update1)

I've tried having the Sense Data and Wi-Fi widgets on my home screen so I can turn off data while at home and turn off Wi-Fi when I'm not. I've also tried QuickSettings and MySettings from the app store for the same purpose. (Couldn't find the option in MySettings though.)
Anyway, it seems that my data settings end up corrupted when I use these. I've only had my Aria for a few days, so I haven't pinpointed which one is the culprit. Last night my data wouldn't connect no matter which button I pressed. I turned the phone off and back on, but still no data. When I compared my APN settings to a friend's Aria, I realized that a dash (-) had been added to a few of the settings like the server, etc. When I reset the APN settings to default, everything started working again.
Then earlier today, when I disabled my wi-fi and tried to enable the data, it wouldn't connect. I checked the APN settings and they seemed correct. I reset to default anyway, but it still wouldn't connect. This time when I turned the phone off and back on, everything worked fine.
Any thoughts on what could be causing this? Does SwitchPro have a data on/off switch? What's the most reliable way to enable wi-fi/disable cell data and vice-versa?
Let me ask another question.. if I turn on Wi-Fi when I'm at home, am I really even saving much battery by turning off the 3G data? Maybe I should just leave it on and not worry about this?
Well... no one seems to have an opinion on this one. I got rid of Quick Settings and MySettings, briefly downloaded SwitchPro, then refunded it and decided to go with Extended Controls. Really liking it so far. Haven't left the house yet to try the data on/off switch yet though and I don't get a signal at my house, so I can't try it here. I'll post results here later.
I'm sure there's lots of people out there who, like me, have not activated the wireless on their Xoom and plan on using it WiFi-only. The best thing to do is keep it in Airplane mode, as this supposedly keeps the wireless radio shut off. This is great, except if you shut your power off, Wifi will be disabled when you turn the Xoom back on. Not a big deal, and it only takes a few seconds to turn it back on, but so far I haven't really used the Xoom out of my home (so I always want wifi on)
I was restoring data after updating my Droid ROM when I thought of trying Tasker out on my Xoom. The interface doesn't look great on the big screen, but it seems to work ok? (Haven't done anything else with it yet on the Xoom). Anyway, here's the simple profile:
Context: Event > System > Device Boot
Task: Net > Wifi > Set=On
I suppose as a next step, you could probably add a wait action, and then have it check if it is actually connected to a network and disable wifi if not.
Anyone else try out Tasker on the Xoom?

This problem may have started about 11 days ago when for the first time my phone ran out of battery on me. (Had used the NAV a lot that day). I'm not sure if it is connected or not. I'm not sure when I first noticed WiFi was turned off. I think it was over the weekend, but who knows.
Problem: When I leave an area where I am connected to WiFi it disables WiFi and will not reconnect anywhere until I turn WiFi back on. When it detects the loss of the WiFi signal it will show the list of Access points it sees. I don't see it that often because usually it is in my pocket. I just watched it once or twice to see what happens as I drove away from work or home. It will go on to AT&T mobile data and stay on it even if I am in an area with a saved WiFi connection (such as home or work). I essentially have to remember to turn on WiFi anytime I get home or to work.
While looking for a problem I found a setting in the WiFi settings section under advanced. The setting is Check for Internet service "Auto switch between Wi-Finetworks and mobile networks" This was unchecked. Last night I checked it. I figured it may have unchecked itself or something when I ran out of battery last week. Well this didn't help. When I got to work this morning I still had to toggle on the WiFi.
Any ideas?
FYI, I am still on stock ROM. Anytime an update comes down it downloads it, if I reboot, it won't install so that is a good thing. I still have root and SU.
The autoswitch would do it. When you turned the auto switch setting back on did you do a full reboot? Sometimes that's the only way some settings will take action properly, even if it doesn't tell you too.

I didn't do a full reboot after changing it last night. i did this morning however after checking which recovery I had for sure... so I guess I'll find out if that took care of it when I leave work in a few hours.
My wifi speed is very slow, I try many ways I was told in internet but not luck. Until I accident found that when I do: setting->wifi -> wifi direct (it always show scanning when I press) -> stop( it stops scanning ).
After do that, the speed is significal up equal to my other device speed( htc evo 3d ). My wifi is very fast after 5-10 minutes and go down again, and I have to do my "technique" again, and again after 5-10 minutes.
My test show that, when do nothing, the speed is 50-250 kB/s, after I turn off wifi direct manually, it go up to 1.1 MB/s ( equal to my evo 3d speed test ). It so better when I trying to view youtube and it very clear happening when I do like I said.
My question is why wifi direct scanning take so much speed of my galaxy note 3? If It actually take that speed, how to turn it off? I turn it manually, and it still automatically turn on( or do something that make my speed slow ).
Anyone please help me. I am tired to turn it off manually many many times to see a movie in youtube because it make speed so slow until I do like a said before.
Thanks very much
Hi guys, has anyone experienced this? The device just sometimes rejects the fingerprint saying "enter pin after reboot". This is mostly random, a few times it was awkwardly correlated to switching from WiFi to mobile net. I felt like the frequency went down when I disabled CDMA and EVDO in the network types, but it still happens. Reducing the CPU aggressiveness to power saving did not help either (I thought maybe the power delivery cannot deal with high spikes?). After everything, I feel like it must be related to the RIL, because moving fast (in a car) and leaving the home WiFi are the main triggers. When it happens at home, I could imagine my flaky WiFi had a hickup - other devices lose WiFi sometimes too. Anyhow, I'm still not sure, and I don't exactly know where it would be logged.
Here's my setup:

Well if anyone finds this googling for the issue: Switch off night light, somehow the device is super unstable with that enabled...
