Does anyone know what NI did to disable the cell standby service in their latest patch? I'm trying to put together a generic fix to disable cell standby and leave 3G intact.

Hey all,
I'm using Cyanogen's newest (4.2.6) and I'm curious if there's a way to turn off the cell antenna kind of like airplane mode. The problem I have with airplane mode is no wifi. The reason I'm curious is because I work in a place with no reception and it kills the battery as well as causes problems with texting on the Roger's network once I'm back within range.
I know you can do this in the hero roms, I'm wondering if anyone knows of any apps or options somewhere that might do the same in a non-hero rom.
From your dialer call
*#*#4636#*#*
Then Phone Info and then
"Turn off Radio"
I am not using a sim and have apn turned off. However theres is still a cellular indicator in the taskbar, and it changes as if picking up signals.
Why is this happening, when there is no cell network at all?
Simply because for emergency call you don"t need simcard
aaah i see! i was pretty used to the stock android emergency only icon on my milestone... wish there was some way of disabling the radio entirely to save even more battery though
Airplane mode disables all RF if you want to save battery...
You can also download Airplane Mode WiFi, which allows you to switch WiFi and Bluetooth back on whilst the GSM radio is off.
Regards,
Dave
Thank you for the tip dave.
EDIT: as it turns out airplane mode already allows you to toggle wifi independantly in all 2.0+ versions of android COOL!
Hi I'm running 4.2.2 cm10.2 and I used one of the flash able packages for unlocking lte (.27/.84 radios). Now whenever I am connects to my wifi overnight th next day when I leave my wifi network my cellular data is grayedout and I can only bring it back by rebooting my phone. Turning the radio off and airplane mode don't fix this, I have to reboot the phone.
Any ideas as to why this is happening or suggestions?
Thanks!
I have suffered from this problem for a while now. When I am on wifi at home or elsewhere and then go out of range and the phone should flip back to a 3g/4g signal all i get is an exclamation mark next to the signal bars. I then have to carry out a reboot to enable use of 3g
This happens about 80 percent of the time
Anyone else seen this?
I feel the same. I fix it with a tasker profile. When I lost wifi signal Airplane mode active for 5 seconds and then switches off. Since turning it on and off airplane mode reconnects the 3g.
Sorry for my english.

Hi
I have had my Z1 for 2 weeks and am experiencing the same problem. My usage of the phone requires that I switch between WiFi and either of the 2 SIM cards for data on a very regular basis. The Mobile data connection does not activate when coming off WiFi and I am forced to mess around switching the phone off and on etc in order to reactivate the Mobile data.
a) Is there a quick work-around to overcome this issue ... & ...
b) Will the OTA CM13 udate in March overcome this?
Thanks for your time in shining any light on this problem.
I'm playing with tasker trying to create profiles for things without much success. Could you please give me some help on setting up the profile for this?
Thankyou
I have the same problem. I usuallt swithc from 3g to 2g and then to 3g again, and the signal comes immediately
Every one got that problem . Y can try other flyme 4.5.4.3 (eng only) or zui . Modem works perfectly (except hotspot+4g)
This is just my opinion when I use this phone, Xperia XA.
I have just bought it for 5 days. At night, cell standby eats my battery about 40%. So I check in Setting -> About phone -> Status -> SIM status and you know what I see: SIM card I use for calls is EDGE and another one I use for mobile data is HSPA (I didn't turn on mobile data). I guess calls SIM should be GSM (EDGE is for data too, not only text and call) and data SIM should be GSM too (or at least is EDGE or GPRS), because I didn't turn on mobile data so I think that is problem that eat my battery.
Both EDGE and HSPA (or HSPA+) is for data, it consume more battery than GSM.
Another surprise is when I take 1 SIM out my phone, I turn on my phone, switch it to LTE(prefered)/WCDMA/GSM. Check again at same place (SIM status) - I didn't turn on data, too. And I saw, my SIM card, with no data, running at LTE (my signal is 0). So I came up with this, Xperia XA choose wrong mobile type network, make it drain fast.
I just want you guy who use XA, do same thing that I do and check if it wrong.
Thank you you guy.
UPDATE: Check my conclusion downthere.
Hey, after a night with out SIM 2, SIM 1 run at EDGE, I only lost 3% (from 99% to 96%). That really good.
Sorry, I can't upload screenshot. Internet at my country is down.
In Battery (Setting):
Cell standby: 40%.
Phone idle: 44%.
Conclusion
Way to fix battery drain problem by cell standby (for Dual SIM XA - mine is F3116):
At night, deactivate Data SIM, switch another to GSM only and sleep. I only lost 3% after 8 hours.
When you wake up, activate Data SIM and enjoy the day.
Hope it help you guy.
