It seems that the network is disconnected when the screen is off. It's a problem if you have something running (like a torrent download).
Anyone knows how to fix this?

actually amazon removed access to the wifi sleep policy setting.
Set the screen to not sleep. Widgetsoid is awesome for their widget to control this.

I'm doing that now (aDownloader has this option too). But it isn't the best solution, since the screen remains on consuming power.
Since this option is present in standard Android (my SGSII has too), maybe we can just edit some hidden settings file. Any idea?

WOW! Nice work!
And maybe a simpler way is to edit the settings.db directly in Fire with SQLite Editor?

I'm sure you could. I just like to do things manually Lol.
Wake lock powermanager from the Android market. It allows you to take out a variety of locks on the system one of which is the wake lock. Since the device isn't sleeping wifi shouldn't go off. It can also take out a lock for the screen to keep it on if that's what it takes on the Fire. I use it on my old Archos tablet running 1.5 (cupcake) which needs the wake lock to keep any music player working. But I think one of the lock types it supports should be something that works on the Fire. The only apps I use that need wifi also keep the screen on like the video player so I've not installed it myself on my Fire.

Hi, I'm looking for a free app which can automatically change profile based on time. I've tried Toggle Settings but the AutoSync toggle does not work (on nexus one). I'm specifically trying to find a app which can turn autosync off during the night to save power.
Any ideas?
Thanks
have you tried LOCALE? it has lots of plug-in for different settings.
unfortunately I guess it is not free
the price seems to be a bit excessive for Locale, trying to find an alternative.
Try Timeriffic (crap name) - but it seems to work OK - Just discovered it myself today.

I'm having trouble disabling my 3G with APN disablers such as APNDroid/APN Onoff... you can click to turn it off but the 3G will still work
I've searched around and I saw that quite a lot of people are having this problem and there isn't a solution yet...
So that's the reason I'm here, looking for a disabler that would work with the vibrant.
P/S: If the apndroid works on ur Vibrant, can you post your firmware version? I'm on stock
Juicedefender does. I think you need root though.
Vibrant vibrating nicely now,Kthx!
"Quick settings" apk had that feature. You can find it on the market for free.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
I have found out that problem. It seems that the APN changes wouldn't affect anything until you reboot your phone... that's the reason why APN disabler doesn't work because it actually just changes the setting of APN to disable it but the changes were'nt taking effect.
Is there any way to fix this?
Did you try quick settings? It works for me.

I can back this one out, I too get my APN settings off/on after I reboot.
DC Switch works great for me.
Juice Defender slowed my phone down really badly and SwitchPro widget never turned my data back on until a reboot.

Same here. I've been giving juice defender lots of chances but it just kills my phone everyone time. I've decided to manually mange it!
Been using quick settings for months. Great app.

Quick setting wouldn't work either... and that's because it disables APN the same way - by editing the APN and that wouldn't take effect until reboot is done
I had tried APNdroid a couple weeks back and it worked for me, or at least seemed to. But I wanted to integrate it into Tasker, and it would disable fine, but would not re-enable until I restarted my phone. I uninstalled and then saw that the setting had been added into Quick Settings, but it didn't seem to work, but I did note that it does the same thing as APNdroid (changes my APN), so I decided once again to try APNdroid and Tasker combo, but now APNdroid is acting the same way, not actually doing anything until a re-start. Oh well. I did flash the leaked ROM and signal seems less dodgy at home (which was why I wanted to turn of my network so it wouldn't keep trying to scan for a signal).

APNdroid does work you have to reboot for some reason after you disable.
im also on stock ROM
Hello guys... those of you having the same troubles as I had... I've found an app called Smoda widget from market that could disable data transmssion for Vibrant... it doesn't do it by renaming the APN and I don't know how it does the job... but at least it works for me now.
It's just a simple widget that turns off and remove data transmission after clicking on it... It's kinda slow... takes like 2-3 seconds but at least it works now.

Quick settings has two different ways of disabling. One is changing APN settings, like APNDroid (which won't work without a restart). The other way, however, just turns off the data, which does seem to work.
I been having issues with Pandora and various builds with Axura and I figured out my problem was not with Axura (Apology to master) but with another program called "SuperPower".
If you updated SuperPower there is a default setting called "Screen State" which for me was turned on my default where if the phone screen is turned off (automatically for me) that by default it turns on the "auto data disable" so like me if you are listening to Pandora when that songs ends it will hang or error out until you go back to your phone it will start again.
Turning off this settings will fix your pandora and other apps if you were having problems.
Super Power app
Go to "Screen State" then disable "Auto data disable"
There are exceptions you can set up so certain programs can keep using the data while the screen is off.
Its AXura not Azura

The problem with SuperPower (and Tasker and any of those application manipulating programs) is that this setting only works when the app is on screen. If you are playing Pandora in the background or through the widget, SuperPower will not override the data off switch.

Not true. And there's a download setting. E.g. phone wont turn data off if you're downloading x amount of data per second.

Yes but if you're listening over bluetooth then it's still going to disconnect regardless of data.

Is their an apk that runs so I can use NFC tags without having to enter my password every time? I found one that worked with the Galaxy Nexus, but didn't say anything about the Nexus 4
AOKP has the option under Nfc to enable this. Other than that I can't find anything on it. Been searching for a couple days now.
Apk? You mean an app? I believe Tasker can do this (maybe a plugin like Secure Settings is needed to disable the lock screen)

no aokp is a custom firmware
Can anyone who has NFC active whilst locked give me some idea on what extra battery drain is evident (if at all).

What app works for the Galaxy Nexus? I've been looking for such an app for a long time.
Is there a mod for NFC to work whilst screen is ON but password not entered?
All I've found is screen off mod - but that seems to get high battery drain.

Finally found a solution that I'm happy with. I used Exposed Installer with NFC Lockscreen Enabler Module and that did the trick. You can even configure it to only work when the screen is on with the password screen being displayed, saves on battery life a lot.

Hello!
Something I've noticed while using my old Nexus S while im waiting for Nexus 5
Go in Developer settings > Background process limit (all the way down)
set it to "At most 2 processes".
It will speed up your phone more than you can think without affecting performance.
Report your findings.
Btw I am using THIS Android 4.4 ROM with stock kernel on Dalvik.
Have fun!
EDIT: You must re-set this everytime phone reboots

It re-loads cache whenever i open up an app i previously opened. Like in messaging app, all contact icons won't get preloaded.
doesn't seems to have any impact at all on my Nexus S.
Yeah I am waiting for my Nexus 5 also!
This setting can only help you if you use memory-intensive apps, with the cost that most apps will start slower than before and also the background processes started by the apps can be killed more easily which is not always a desirable thing. Reducing the number of concurrent processes from the default can lead to unwanted consequences. These preferences aren't in the developer options by mistake, I would not fiddle with them if I don't have a valid reason. And "try this stuff, maybe it sppeds up your phone, maybe not" is definitely not one.
Eh, as i use my nexus s as an mp3 player it definitely helps run a lot smoother

Yes you can, but it will cost you some CPU processing. I find my device more responsive in airplane mode where it does not need to handle the connections. If somebody does not use these functions it's worth a try before fiddling with some random setting from the bottom of the Development menu.
