I am continually having to disable the Background Data option on my DZ, because something keeps re-enabling it in the background without my knowledge. This happens several times a day. How can I tell which app is enabling it?
Could be Market. You cant log in if you dont have background data enabled. So maybe its got a mind of its own and turns it on.
sometimes could be your people or facebook or email syncing in the background
Maybe silly question but have u disabled "allow always on mobile data" in mobile networks in settings?

If you mean the "Enable always-on mobile data" option then yes I have that unchecked. Is there some way of auditing which apps may be changing the Background Data setting?
Disable automatic syncing, if that doesn't do it you're better of reflashing

Auto-syncing is already disabled. Unfortunately it hasn't helped.
I haven't flashed the phone before so the prospect of doing it (and potentially bricking it) concerns me a little. I'm on software version 1.82.161.1 - is this a fairly recent version?

If I'm not missing anything you don't want your phone to connect at all? Then put something invalid for internet connection APN.
I've already done that. It's the drain on battery that I was concerned about - i.e. continually trying to connect

why dont you just disable mobile network untill you need it?
That's what I meant when I said I'd done it - I have the mobile network disabled by default. Presumably with background data enabled it will still attempt to connect frequently, and consume power, even if data is disabled?

What the heck are you using your phone for then? If you dont want any mobile data, just turn on airplane mode and then enable WiFi for data.
U sound a bit too paranoid. The chances of bricking your phone from flashing your phone one time are slim to none. Sounds like the rom is borked to me. It reminds me of people who are scared to death to click anything in windows cause there scared there gonna break something. There are people on here who WANT to brick there phone cause they want to send it into repair and not have tmobile see its s-off and can't even make the phone brick when purposely trying to.
You seem smart enough, as long as you can read your not gonna mess nothing up! They make these electronic devices idiot proof cause 99% of the users of them are idiots! (Xda users not included). If they were that easy to bust no one would even use a smart phone cause you would be hearing about it every day from all your friends/acquaintances!

Funnily enough I use it to make phone calls. When I need the occasional bit of data (maybe 2-3 times a day) I'll switch on wifi or 3G temporarily for that purpose. That way I may still have some battery left by the evening. Unless there's something else that keeps starting up and draining the battery of course....

Honestly, like the other poster said I think you're being a bit too paranoid. Just let your phone do its thing. Turn off mobile data, and turn off any app's auto-sync functions. If you absolutely don't need your phone to use data other than occasional WiFi it won't make a difference. You're not going to lose battery in any significant way with what these apps are doing.

Also, if you only need data 2-3 times per day, you should stop paying for a data plan.
I'm on a PAYG plan - 20p per Mb - so it's not a problem.
Incidentally I had a first attempt at rooting yesterday - followed the noob guide elsewhere in this forum but didn't get very far. I'm reasonably technical (a former developer) but the whole rooting thing is far from painting by numbers.

For some reason my 3g keeps disconnecting. In settings the mobile network option is greyed out, stuck on "turning on". The only thing that fixes it is a reboot.

No one has any idea why this happens?
Is your phone stock?
it seems to just show that when the phone is idle, not updating, sending/receiving, etc. i have no way to prove this, just a theory.

I had that problem when I was running adrylalyne's Vanilla FrankenROM. It's the sole reason why I had to quit running it. It was a seriously annoying once-in-a-while thing at first but once I'd been running it for about 24 hours, it seemed to happen ALL THE TIME and got to the point where sometimes even a reboot wouldn't fix it. I haven't had it on any other ROM, though.
I was running the leaked radio (2.05?) when I had that ROM. Now that I've got 2.15, I've been thinking about giving it another shot.

No, the connection completely goes away. It's not just "I can't see the 3G symbol"... The phone actually has NO data connection and it seems impossible to get it to come back without a reboot.
2.15 radio fixed that for me. Using first leak Rom still.

in order to get rid of this, you'd need to find which file or which portion of that file controls the signal indicator on the phone, and replace it with an older version of that file, from before this "idle" indicator began.
maybe the google holds the answers you seek?

Good to know. I think I will try that FrankenROM again, then.
i'm unrooted and on stock OS, just got my incredible yesterday...so far i've noticed that it seems to just stay dormant, whenever i open an app that connects to the network, it automatically lights up the indicator and starts using the data, and it doesn't seem to prevent me from actually sending or receiving data, so i don't know how i would tell if it's actually no connection or just an "idle" indicator. how did you come to that conclusion?

What you see is normal. The 3G (or 1X) indicator only lights when the data connection is being used. The problem here is that there was no data connection. I would attempt to do anything that used the data connection and it would not connect. No email, no internet, no Nav, no nothing. The programs would all open, but could not download anything.
Agreed, that's sort of what I was implying, I was referring to the OP. so the connection issues are Rom based, not related with the gray indicators. Just because its gray doesn't mean you don't have connection. Clarifying for the next person who stumbles across this thread.

To the OP, this happened to me today using Sky Raider Sense 2.5.2. I also had to restart, so it's not only you that has the problem.

What he was talking about being greyed out is when you go into Menu> Settings> Wireless & Networks, the place where you check to turn Mobile networks on and off is greyed out with the text of "Turning on..." below.

Same thing happened to me over the weekend. I was in a tiny town in Texas that apparently had no 3g and I was unable to do anything that used the data connection. Reboot didn't work, neither did changing the Mobile Directory Number to all zeros when pressing ##program>NAM-General (as was suggested on a different forum which I cannot link to). What sucks is that it's highly unlikely I can duplicate this problem since there is probably good 3g coverage around the verizon store in the city where I live. I called verizon and the person said something about that area not having access to the data network, which I don't believe because when I was screwing with the settings under ##program I managed to get a text message. My wife's Samsung Vibrant (I know, different network) had no 3g but she was still able to access all apps that required the data network.
When my wife's Incredible was stock, this happened to her. It wouldn't connect to 3G. When going into settings and checking it out, "Mobile Network" was all grayed out. After LONG discussions with Verizon Tech Dept, 2 factory resets later, they found the problem to be on their end with the phone being "lost" on their system. They reset something (didn't tell me what) and bingo! her phone had 3G again.
I just had it happen to me. Reboot fixed it, but I'd like to know why its happening so I can tell my friends at VZW to look into it...
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
Still happening to me. I told the tech that a bunch of people in the forums were saying it was a problem on their end, something about my phone needing to be removed from and then added back to the data plan, and they told me that they'd look into it. Eventually the 3g came back on its own like it always has when I have this problem, and the next day I got a text from verizon saying the issue had been fixed (which I doubt consisted of anything more than someone having the system send me a text saying the issue had been fixed). I've had this problem when my phone was stock, when I updated to the 2.05 baseband, and now that I've rooted and installed skyraider. Not exactly the experience I anticipated when I left the iphone 3g...
noticed another thing, idk if related...my gmail will "quit" working...meaning, it shows i have new emails inside the app, but they haven't pulled to my phone yet. the refresh button in the app, and the sync now button under accounts don't work, i had to do a nand wipe and restore a file from a day ago. i think it's app related, because it always seemed to happen after i updated some apps in the market, but one of the times (this last time) i didn't update the apps, i deleted them and it still happened. all other data and network connections work fine, only gmail. prolly not related, but thought i'd throw it out there
Hello everyone..
here is my problem....
I no longer have cellular service from sprint, lets say sprint disconnected it...
ok so i have my evo and a bunch of things i can still do with it.
but! why is it that i cant turn off just the "cellular" radio without it going into plane mode? keep in mind im not talking about "go into wireless mode and uncheck mobile" that only turns off 3g and leaves the phone COMPLETELY ON.
i mean, i dont have the service why do i still have to put it in airplane mode (and on evo's you cant use bluetooth while on that mode)
is there an apk that i can delete so the "phone" feature is gone and no longer shows my the strength bars without the need for airplane mode? its annoying to have to turn on my "PMP" and have to see the airplane on there.
you can use titanium backup to uninstall the phone, then keep mobile networks unchecked and your good to go
edit I think it may still search for signal

Nope, there's no real way to do it. You bought a phone, not an iPod. Live with Airplane mode or get service.
you could kill the radio process in os monitor, unsure of its exact name though

I was looking for something like this too. In an area with very little signal, having the radio on is just annoying because it never gets signal, so it drains battery forever, even more because it is constantly scanning. This is perfect for that.
Now if someone could make a widget for this switch...
How does the battery drain? If sprint disconnected your phone it won't keep searching for a network. I have my old phone that laid for over 5 days without charge when I hot my evo... that was both the moment and intercept

It will still actually be connected to the network, you just wont be able to make calls or get texts. This is required for all cell phones, so you can still call 911, or call the carrier to re-activate the phone if you ever want to.
Right, it seems I have a new phone, same old issue. I started a thread before on this, got no reply.
When I connect to the internet through mobile data (4g/3g) a pop-up appears asking me if I want to do this. Obviously I do, otherwise I wouldn't have pressed the button which enables data connection. Pretty pointless right? Read on.
After, when I'm finished on the net and I want to cease data connection to save power/money, I click again to disable mobile data and yes, another pop-up appears! This time asking me if I am certain that I want to limit my data usage and save myself some battery life. Maybe, just maybe this one time I feel like burning my battery out or racking up a nice 4 figure phone bill.
So, I've gone through the forums, found that some people managed to rid themselves of this irritation on their xperia something somethings using an app called "Elixer" I think. They find and delete/disable a certain file on their phones and problem solved. Bam. No more needless questions when trying to do simple tasks.
Anyone know where this file is on the S4? Please? Answer this time?
Last time I spent a week or so killing the hell out of my phone with superfluous mods and roms until it wouldn't turn on anymore and I had to put it through the wash "accidentally" to claim insurance. Not planning to do that again. HELP!

Seriously? Nothing. Nobody can fix this here?
I took this screenshots last night, the kernel wakelocks(smdcntl0 and radio interface) are causing the massive drain in idle state, i searched the forums and havent found anything regarding these two wakelocks, this is in Cuba were there is no internet usage whatsoever, no wi-fi, no gps, nothing, this happened after i left the phone one week in airplane mode and then, after a factory reset, inserted the sim back in, i`ve done various flash throught RSD with the latest firmware avalble and dozens of factory resets, ever since, i am fully stock, non rooted, and with the 98.18 build, any help will be appreciated, i am going crazy with this...

Airplane mode should have saved your battery tremendously (since it disable all radios) and 2g speeds should be a battery saver too, even in poor-fair signal coverage, and factory resetting should have cleared out any battery draining apps that you may have experienced before doing the reset. Have you been more active with the phone lately? From what you are stating you shouldn't really be suffering from heavy drain.
in the past month i used the same way and it lasted like 3 or 4 days(only 2g), i am not doing anything unusual with the phone(with no internet what can you do), only 2g and the occasional gaming, i resell phones here(in Cuba) so i know a thing or two about android and i can tell something weird is happening after the factory reset...thanks for the quick reply anyways...i never post anything here because of my slow LAN connection, right now i am updating through connectify(wi-fi) to the last OTA and see if that solves my problems...thanks man and sorry for my english...

So pretty much what the title says, i just updated to 8.0 today on my european version, does anyone of you know how to turn this off? When i turn it on it says data charges may apply and when i want to turn it off it just asks me to confirm, its not at all practical.
It's the same on LG V30 Oreo. I don't think it can be disabled unfortunately.

Because having it always on drains the battery faster, smartass. I turn it on only when I need something. Some of us don't need/want to be online 24/7. And with this stand-by drain I got after Oreo every bit of battery counts. The phone lasts like 70% of what it used to on Nougat. (And yes, I did a factory reset.)

Are you sure that phones have mobile data to be 24/7 online, mate? xD
It is indeed a smartphone and not a 24/7-should-be-online-machine. When I want to sleep, take a nap, or just not be bothered by emails, facebook etc, I turn wifi and mobile data off. I'm not putting my phone on silent 'cause I want people to be able to call me if there's something going on. Also, I just turn it off then I'm at home and got wifi instead. Aaaaaand also I'd like to have at least a decent UX on this damn phone if the support is crappy af anyway.
Is just a click, nothing more. And if you need to turn on and turn off data 100 times a day (just you and some of your friens..) just click that button 100 times. I'm on android from donut, and I never turned off data.
