When I go to use Google Nav, my Epic goes into STANDBY mode while the app is running. Anyone else have this going on? Thanks!
Works for me and never enters standby when running

in 3g and 4g, or just 3g?

Happens in 3G

Hello,
I was wondering if there was anyway to strictly run off of 3G? I was using cm6.1 rc 2 for a bit but noticed it switches constantly between H and 3G.. and in return rapes my battery. While rooted with setcpu profiles I get 5-7 hours more battery life while running on only edge. Anyone have any ideas?

Switching from edge to 3G is a lot different from switching from 3G to HSPA+ which uses the same technology. Cyanogen just made the signal icon more accurate, because the stock rom doesnt differentiate between HSPA (3G) and HSPA+. ANybody with a standard 3G phone will tell you that running solely on 2G will save you a ton of battery. The difference from 3G to 3.5G (HSPA+), however, is negligable.
Either use 2G or use HSPA... i agree cyanogen should have an option to stop differentiating 3G fro 4G since it can be distracting.... and ignorance is bliss afterall.

so wait im running cynogen mod RC 2 will it give me a 3G icon instead of a H cuz i always get confused whether im on 3g or HSPA+(3.5g)
You can do this actually... search for the thread about editing the radio settings in system/build.prop

And there is really no battery damage from 3g to hspa switching. U could just enable 2g only in settings.

So I can't bare to be without my Epic every waking second of the day. sue me. My problem is I'm moving out of the country and am keeping my phone. I want to basically use it as a wifi enabled android powered mp3 player. Problem is I'm worried it will constantly be searching for a signal. I've removed my msid and phone number from my ##msl# dialer code, but the phone still searches for a signal killing the battery life (I've seen the difference in the battery menu between no signal and airplane mode). I would leave it in airplane mode and be happy except that you don't get bluetooth while in airplane mode. is there a way I can just get the cell radio out of the os since I'm not going to need it anymore, and still keep my bluetooth, wifi, and gps functionality?
Thx in advance for any advice

Did you check out the ##3282# menu? Might be something useful in there

You can disable just the cellular radio using Tasker... this will still allow you to use wifi, bluetooth, gps, etc...
##debug# is an interesting dialer.code as well

I don't have Tasker anymore but I believe you just create a widget with the action of Phone > Radio > Off or something to that effect.
Then when you click the widget it will simply put an X over the signal bars instead of that annoying airplane, still allowing you to use all the secondary radios.

Can I ask a question here? I live in Phoenix, Arizona and I don't get any 4G. Does anybody else have this problem? Like, come on Sprint. I'm in the capitol of the Grand Canyon State.

627 posts and you thread jack?
does anyone know how to shut off 3g without shutting off 4g? I know the 4g toggle doesn't work, which I'm fine with. 3g is what I wish to shut off. anyone?

Bump. Wow there's really no way to do this?
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using xda premium
I'm gonna keep bumping this until SOMEONE answers! There's gotta be a way to shut off 3g while staying connected to 4g. I was able to do this on every rom on my epic. Its a HUGE battery saver if your constantly covered in 4g.

the radio on this phone doesnt seem to separate evdo/cdma/4g.. when u turn off one you turn off the other.
ive found you can be in airplane mode while on wifi.. but thats about it.
bummer

Interesting
Hmmm, curious on how this will be implemented, and the benefits for the evo.
There some good info on the bottom link I provided, sprint has all the claiming 50 percent savings on your battery if you're using the optimizer. I'm willing to try it

Seems like a feature I've seen Motorola hype about their VZW phones

Is this setting going to put us on a roaming network, even if a Sprint network is available, because of better speeds or strength?
This will be interesting to try out

what makes this optimizer special? My EVO will automatically toggle my 3g/4g/wifi already. I just leave on all of my radios...when I get home my wifi turns on when I leave wifi turns off and 3g comes back on....and when im in a 4g area my 4g automatically turn on.
So I dont get what makes this any different?
I believe it will automatically turn your radios On only when you have service available. Ie. when you enter a known 4G area the phone will recognize it and will automatically turn your 4G radio on. No need for you to have it on all day scanning and wasting battery. same goes for Wifi connections.
It will be interesting to see it work. I'm willing to try it. Sprint is pushing this service to most if not all of their smart phones.

Wouldn't that mean that it is always on and make it waste your battery then?

It is sprint's idea to try and offload as many users from their network as possible. Which if it automatically selected the best network. IE wiFi or WiMax then they are not hammering their network as hard.
Haha touché
Good point

I notice it doesn't have a full change log. Is there going to be radio updates? Hboot? Looking down the list none of the updates show these, when they were added.
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium
only for non rooted phones ????
so when will the devs add this to their roms
I hope they update android and/or sense.....I know they didnt state that in the update notes but back in January when we got 2.3.5 that wasnt in the notes either.
So I'm hoping for a surprise to hold me over until my upgrade in November
I would suspect that it only has the sprint optimizer, which really is just a way to offload consumption on their cell towers..
Just curious did anyone receive this update yet?

As the title. Does your AT&T Samsung s7 edge get the random 4G signal appear when on WiFi? Only happens with home wifi and it's super annoying. Never happened on t-mobile s7 edge. Any suggestions?

It happens to me sometimes. I found that restarting your device fixes it. I haven't been noticing my data being used bc of it but I'm does worry me sometimes! Hope this helped!

I believe if you have download booster on the phone then uses data and wifi to speed up downloads.
