since a few days ago every time i turn the wifi on and go into to select networks i dontget that screen anymore. like my home wifi works cuz it has the password. but i cant connect to other networks :S

as stated before i connect good to my homes wifi.

"GPS issue" really just signal interference ?

Yea yea another GPS thread but not complaining GPS locks perfectly fine but i noticed how much stronger and and accurate signal after putting into flight mode,,
Here is my result
in flight mode that's about 20 seconds and without flight mode about 1 min with cell on.
Also with cell on its not stable it bounces around with google map and with flightmode it locks down right to my exact position.

yea people dont have problems with GPS, i thought i didn't. Its one thing to get quick lock its another how accurate it really is
So yea try flight mode and see how much more accurate and stable signal is. It seems the cell signal interferes with GPS signal
BTW this was done with JI6
Also use GPS tool from market and when running to switch between flightmode just hold power button and switch back and fourth that way. So gps tools stays open and you can see in real time the significant impact it has

I think you are right. I did the same test myself a few mins ago. I definitely got a stronger signal faster with flight mode on.

Fair enough, but are competing phones affected in the same manner? Why do we Vibrant owners need to put up functionality disadvantages like this? Ridiculous.

Yea i tested again driving and with very good GPS signal its not as bad but still noticeable.
In flight mode i was at around 10-15 feet accuracy and when i shut off flight mode it climbed to 25-30 turned it on again and drop back down to 10feet
im wondering if it has to do with the modem, JI6 modem seems to drain battery quicker meaning its probably putting out a stronger signal for better connection and im thinking its interfering with the GPS...but IDK this probably happens with older firmwares also

[Q] Droid Pro data connectivity problems

Hello Droid Pro users,
I have this issue with the data connection for over a week now. I don't know when it's started, I've installed 2.3.6 more than a month ago and other than it was eating up my battery (before the phone managed almost 2 days, after it's not lasting from morning to evening) I had no problems with the phone whatsoever. I was at the countryside with very low reception while mates from the same provider had good reception and the data connectivity was dropping a lot.
Ever since I've realized that the reception is bad and where the coverege is not optimal (eg Cities), I'm having problems with having a stable GSM coverage. But when I have a stable GSM, the 3G or HDSPA is dropping all the time. It's like this: connected for 10 seconds, unavailable for 2 minutes and again, and again....
The strange thing is that my provider sent me a text some days ago that I've used my data package (500mb) which I've never managed before with a lot higher usage! Something is definitely not right, I was doing a factory reset but no use, same problem.
Do you have any idea what it is? Has anybody else had the same problem?
Do you know if there is a data connectivity software on the market which is trying to analyse connection errors?
thanks
Shadoan

I think that you have some app that eating your data...
Facebook?
Dropbox?
I don't know...
You can use apptraffic and see wich apps are eating your data...
See the screenshot...
Why you don't change your rom?

Thanks a lot!
What rom should be better?
I've downloaded APP WATCH and the results are the followings:
1. Enhanced Email (Corporate e-mail)
2. Android OS & Others
3. Motorola Services
4. Streaming Media
5. Google services
The rest from here is not considerable. So it's not an app and again, I did a factory reset (to the 2.3.6 obviously) with no custom applications and it was still doing it.
If you have an idea which rom could be the best to use, I'd happy to hear. I thought 2.3.6 is the newest. I can change rom from an SBF file but I don't have that in-depth technical knowledge.
Thanks again!

I am using the latest releasre from cm7 and my battery life is very good. But let me qualify that statement; I have not unlocked the sim so it sis in airplane mode; live wallpaper running and connected to wifi 24/7. I took it off the charger 24 hours ago and have 72% left. I am in the process of figuring out how to connect this phone to a gsm carrier and will spend considerable time this weekend trying diif methods. It might be your battery. If you feel like throwing it against the wall, send it to me and I will put one of my batteries in it. If it works normal than you know its the battery. Ofcourse, I should probably just send you my battery so you could test it, since its your phone. Got anything for trade? I'll send you either this phone (mint) with battery or just the battery. I need a gsm phone that connects to tmobile or at&t. Interesting to see how this ends up:

System UI frequent GPS?

Anybody else seeing that the system UI is frequently using GPS?? Approximately every 15 minutes
Why?
Can anybody confirm?

BUMP

EDIT: I have noticed that this seems to only happen on LTE, therefore leading me to believe that this is related to the problem of Google Now not working on LTE/GSM.

Google Now uses the GPS to check your location if you let it. On my old phone too (AT&T Galaxy S II running AOKP JB) I noticed the same about every 10-15 minutes. I don't think it has to do with LTE though.

Not got the phone yet but does it still do this with lte disabled? Might be its not able to get position data from cell towers on lte so it defaults to GPS instead.

Yes sorry guys I corrected the original post, it's happening every 15 minutes approximately, but not just LTE, on WiFi, LTE, H+.. doesn't matter.
App running GPS is system UI

Think I might have figured this out. GPS data location when indoors (satellite's unavailable) is impaired with LTE on.
Can anybody confirm this problem?

Turn off the top two settings in Maps > Settings > Location settings and enjoy twice the battery life.

This doesn't solve the issue it only prevents data being used for GPS lock.
But yes if the problem exists it will stop the battery being drained

Mobile Radio active bug in Lollipop

I'm getting this bug in every Lollipop Phone I own. And sadly this bug seems to be present in the M Developer preview too.
Usually my day starts with wifi but as soon as I leave the wifi connection and start using 3G the battery starts to drain.
It has gotten so annoying that I switched back to KitKat and my phones are awesome again.
Present for me on Z3 and S4

I noticed this today. Was using WiFi screen was at about 36% use and Android OS at about 6%. Switched to Mobile data, And before 30 minutes, screen was at 28% and Android OS was 30%+
Crazy really! Don't know if a reboot would fix. Back on WiFi tho and it seems normal again.

The above comment was made by me, my friend logged into his xda on my phone and i didn't know, when i knew it was too late.

Basically every app that uses mobile radio keeps the connection active and drains the battery fast.
As seen in the battery tab with "mobile radio active" for hours.
At first I switched to lollipop I thought its just an "feature" but its the bad bug.
Especially for people who doesn't charge their phone for days because of light usage

I take it you are on CM now?

The Z3 is now .77 stock KitKat, the s4 is CM11 M11

so, overall, the power consumption in KK is way better than in L? [assuming similar usage]
cause i bought this phone already on L...

On WiFi it's as good as Kitkat, the problem starts when you have mobile data enabled, from what I hear the issue carried on into the test builds of Android M.
Phonearena even did an article on the issue, and it has the 3rd or 4th most votes on Google 's bug tracker yet it's still labeled as small priority... I hope Sony fixes it by itself somehow.
