[Q] My GSM signal dissapears completely after a while

Hey guys,
I have a very enoiing problem, when i start my X10 up my GSM signal is good, but after not using the phone for like 3 hours (while in the main time just being in sleepmode), I've got no signal at all anymore and have to restart the phone. This problem doesn't happen if I haven't used my phone for like half an hour and i use it again (while in the main time just being in sleepmode). Is this a wrong setting or something like that? because normally my signal is great, except when I haven't used it for a while (like 2 hours or more)
Regards, Meikrekel

Have any spooky task killer app ?

Nope, that isn't the problem. Tested it, but that ain't the problem

I had this and similar other issues. Turned out to be the se backup app. I use titanium so simply removed the stock backup.
Maybe worth a look for you mate. Use titanium to freeze it first to confirm.

Thank you so much, it seems to work. I didnt have a connection before i removed it, after removing it i already had connection again=D

Ok this is strange, your solution worked for 2 days and now the problem is back:s

The only advice I can offer is that I only used to get this when an app, for whatever reason, accessed the sim.
For me it was the se stock backup app.

I lose my signal on gsm but seems that is the firmware (026)

GPS Without A-GPS

Has anyone of you owners of DHD able to get the gps lock just incase you don't have internet connection for A-GPS to work. I had an iPhone 4 who will lock to GPS in few seconds even without a sim card and on dhd its impossible or will take very long to lock location without AGPS . IT'S THIS a problem or I am doing something wrong

I was recently out of my own country and data roaming was set to off. I never realised it at the time but everytime I tried to use GPS (Copilot Live) it took literally 20 mins to get a lock, apart from once and then I had access to wifi. Sounds like this was the problem

i usually get the lock well under a minute without any DATA connection like edge or wifi when i'm outdoors,
indoors it needs good 4-5 mins to get a lock.

Strange because iPhone 4 locks in minimum 7 seconds even without a simcard . That's means that DHD is using a cheap GPS receiver which will become unusable without data connection.

There is something called "Hotfix".
If you have previously locked on a GPS signal, it will be faster to lock for the 2nd time.
BUT, if you started from a "coldfix" (means if you try to lock for the first time or quite some time after the 1st lock or far away from the location of your first lock), it could take minutes to lock.
However, I have to admit that DHD tends to have a slower lock...
Correct me if I'm wrong.

A-GPS dosent need a web connection, it uses the internet once a week to download the latest sat data to make gps lock quicker..... you can use apps like gps toolbox to download the latest A-GPS data.

Doesn't the DHD download the A-GPS data automatically in the background?

No you need an app to download the data, maybe some apps can be set to auto download the data though

Then what app is the best? It only needs to be able to download the A-GPS data, nothing else.

Search for gps toolbox in the market, there is a free and paid version, both let you download the latest sat data

I checked while reading this topic and my DHD got a lock within one minute of GPS (satellite only) being turned on. I had the phone in airplane mode before I turned it on so it was in effect a cold lock. I'm indoor at night so there's no direct line of sight either. Quite fast in my opinion.

I get gps lock within 3 to 10 secs with or without wifi,data. I have installed open gps tracker and first I ran it for 30 mins.
I don't know if that app is helping in gps lock.

IPhone 4 locks in 7 seconds without a sim. You will never be able to geotag your photos in any android phone cause most of them have cheap and lousy GPS which relies on AGPS data for lock. Geotag will work best on iPhone if you give AGPS option to iPhone it works instantly

AGPS is only used to locate the sats, you fool lol it downloads a file with the latest sat positions, so you device knows where to look speeding up sat lock lol no wonder you love the iphone, you have about as much processing power as one

Not sure which you want to fix - you asked 2 totally unrelated questions in one thread. Probably not a good approach. Nobody reading your thread title will come in here to answer a GPS question.
As for that GPS question, make sure in Settings, Location & security you have Use GPS Satellites checked.

I've found that when I think its off it really isn't. I long press the power button and that's what turns it off at least for me. Now I press the power button once maybe twice lightly to wake it

Er could it be your screen's wet or fingers are wet? My x10 will have this problem if there's moist between your fingers and the screen.

Hmmmm ok, there is some logic in that, I'm field worker so always inside and outside speciay from 7 pm I'll try that (that i dont get it out from the pockets outside) maybe its water, hot and cold all the time from 6,7 pm tnx in advance

[Q] Alarm When Phone is Off

Ok i keep it straight..
Its my first Android device (The S4.)
Switching from my nokia c7 i've had this issue of alarm not going off when phone's off..
Actually i faced this problem that day when i had only 4% battery left (obviously it wasnt going to last that night)
So i turned off the phone and thought the ALARM would wake me up the next day..( as my nokia always did )
But to my surprise it didnt...
I did search for some solution on xda but no luck..
But then i saw the link of alarm working WITH PHONE OFF on the Rival HTC ONE..(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2406083)
So i was wondering whether the devs would be able to make some app..(Or refer me if theres any as i couldnt find one..)
Thanks for your precious time..
Regards.
Me
EDIT : So i was going though some more stuff on this matter and found something relevent..
Like there is a real time clock running on pc (that keeps time even when its off)..
Maybe HTC does use that to make its ONE power on ..
I think some files in the kernel can be edited for some progress on our s4 ( I am completely a noob and have no idea about kernels n all , i just read it somwhere)..
Maybe some real pro can help us out here, by studying htc one's files.. and try to make it work on some other 'SmartPhones'.

+1 to that plenty of time phone nearly dead and would love to do this if possible

The problem is that some 'smartphones" never really turn off.
My Blackberry Storm was one of those and my guess is that the previous phone you had didn't either.
If the phone is in deep sleep mode, then it can wake up.
If on the other hand, it's off, and I mean really off, there is nothing you can do.
The current crop of Android phones turn off; not go into a deep sleep.

Then how can HTC one do it..
I mean it may go to deep sleep..
But can't our s4 go to deep sleep..?

I am! Have not test it... I always love that feature on my Sony Ericssons And nokias. IPhone never had it. Would love to have the function here on the s4. But again I have not try it. I will tomorrow

When your screen is off your phone is in deep sleep. At least should be i dont know how they did it but when you turn off android phone its off. No alarm. Maybe they have modified fly mode and altered frequencies for cpu gpu etc to be just enough to ring alarm with almost zero power consumption. But again its not off. I miss that too. Its like where to **** is my charger or hope my alarm rings

With screen off battery goes down by more than 8-10%
I don't think that's deep sleep.. (in deep sleep battery shouldn't drain more than 2-3%..)
Yup if HTC can do that y cant Samsung.. Or other devs..
Thanks for the reply..

It's not a matter of firmware/software (which you clearly don't understand), it's a hardware thing. The hardware isn't capable of it.

You probably didn't read some of the replies on that thread..
It doesn't work on AOSP or other roms but only on SENSE rom..
So it is A MATTER of firmware./software..
So I think it can be achieved..

Check your apps. I have 4% over night data off. Once i broke power button on lg p990 so few days i had to live with no deep sleep to be able to turn screen on with volume buttons and man, drain was over 15%/hour.

Dude only 4%,Thats great for you..
Do you use any battery app.. Or its by default..?
I've removed one phone lock app which did save me about 7% drain but still cant get it below 8%..for ( 8-9 hours of sleep )
But i'd still love this alarm feature..

Just test it and no, it does not work.

Yes. Software-based. The question is that if a 3rd party app have access to the system to create an "auto on" or if is something that needs to be manage on the OS itself. Maybe with root access?

Maybe some tweaks in the kernel..
