Data disconnects when i search in market??

every time i search in the market, after i hit search (while having the H+ up & down arrows), i get a pop up saying
Attention
A network error has occured. Retry, or cancel and return to the previous screen.
then the up & down arrows will disappear. then after about 10-15 seconds, they reappear and i can hit retry and continue the search.
this also happens occasionally when i open the market.
the market is the only app i have this problem in, so thats why i thought it was the app not my connection.
any suggestions
edit: 4.1.83 update did not fix this

Is your battery management setting set to "Battery Mode"? This mode stops data after inactivity. Try setting it to performance and see if that helps. Also, could be a issue with the tower you are connected to.

It's set to performance

I get the same thing. I am pretty sure this is a known issue with the Market app.

If you google the issue, it's spread across many different phones.

this is getting frustrating. I can search the market just fine (sometimes) but when i go to buy an app, without fail, data turns off. What the F***. ><

Keeping WiFi on in sleep mode?

Hi there, just curious if there is a setting to keep the wireless connection active while the device is in standby.
When was running CM7 my wifi stayed active even in standby or sleep, but now on Cyclonic it seems to drop the wifi connection if it stays in standby long enough. The wifi stays enabled in the settings, but upon unlocking my shift, i have to reconnect to the wifi almost everytime. Didnt need to with CM7.
Do you think its to do with the difference in software, or...?
Also, how do you rename your Shift something other than the PG06100?

Setting>Wireless & Networks>WiFi Settings>Click Menu>Advanced.
Then you have to click "never" in WiFi sleep policy.
And could you clarify on your second question?
Change it for your signature? Or as in your notification bar as your carrier label?
Shifted from my EVO.

Ok, so that was ridiculously easy...
As for the second question, see down there how mine says "sent from..." and yours says something different? Is everyones that is different just editing the text, or is there something that changes it?

You have to go to your xda settings and you can customize your signature from there.
Go into the xda app. Click on menu. And then settings. You should see it from there.

Thanks again, I should have known it would be something that I should have known...

Thanks bro, i was facing this problem in CM7.

I also was wondering how to do this. My battery lasts so much longer now.

Wifi turns on by itself?

It seems that every time I plug my s4 in, it will turn on Wifi. Then when I turn Wifi off the phone tells me "unfortunately smcc service had stopped working". Is anyone else having this issue?

I'm having a similar issue where it turns itself back on when it's turned off. This is happening even when it is not plugged in though I'm not seeing any errors when turning it off.

It is the Smart Mode located in Settings under Wifi.

That may be it. I just turned it off. We'll see what happens. Thanks!!!!!!!

Ahhh! My brain fart has been sprayed with Lysol..! Thanks Crawrj!

If that doesn't work check for a setting called "Connection Optimizer." I haven't gotten my S4 yet but on other Sprint phones it is Settings > Mobile Data > Automatic Connections > Uncheck "Connection Optimizer"
It's supposed to intelligently determine when to turn wifi and 4g on and off. Connecting to wifi will save battery over mobile data so it is best to connect to it, that's probably why they have connection optimizer on phones.

THANK YOU! After reading the description this does appear to be the culprit. And the longer you stay in one place(work) the more aggressive it seems to get.

It's not in 4.2 on our S4.

Ya it took me a min to figure it out. It's designed to read your location and connect to wifi in areas your always connected to wifi. But if you wish to shut it go to too:
Settings > Wi-Fi > Smart Mode > turn off.

Me too. Thanks so much for this. It was driving me mad. Up next: preventing it from disconnecting because it feels the wifi is too slow. UGH. Walking around my building there are good spots and bad spots. If I sit in a bad spot too long I am disconnected with no hope for auto reconnecting. Maddening.

Great info thanks.

Juice Defender vs. Smart Mode
I use the WiFi location-based trigger in Juice Defender instead of Smart Mode.
As I understand it, while Smart Mode tries to turn on WiFi for ALL of your common locations, JD can do this on a location by location basis. So, I don't like to be connected to WiFi at work, but I *do* at home. JD allows for this.
Sound right?
Thanks,
Eph

I have Smart Mode off - but Wifi still seems to come on at least once a day?
What else could be triggering this?

Not to sure. Happens to me once in awhile too. I'll go to turn on Hotspot and it says it needs to turn wifi off when I have Smart mode off. [emoji85] [emoji86] [emoji87]

[Q] Stock Rom keeps turning wifi on

I'm using the stock Rom and when I go to settings to disable Wifi, after the screen is off and I wait for a few minutes the wifi keeps turning itself on.
Anyone else experiencing this?
I'm not using juice defender or similar apps. Also my phone carrier doesnt add a custom APN that forces this.

Go into settings/wifi/settings and choose wifi on always in sleep mode. Reboot the router and reconnect to wifi. If that doesn`t help you might try a data factoey reset.

Um... but he wants to turn it off...
If it wasn't a stock rom I'd say something like profiles.

Do you use Qualcomm Battery guru? I also have this issue and I use it, so I think it is related to this.

Hi,
I just tried this and I don't see anything suspicious. If I search for Wifi, I see it's being set to ON by ActivityManager or ConnectivityManager, it doesn't seem to come from an application.
I have attached a full log and a log searching for WiFi, maybe you can help me find something?
Very much appreciate it!!
Thanks!!!

Anyone? :angel:

My Nexus 4 shows the same thing unless I actually turn off the wifi. I just leave my wifi on so when I come home it auto connects.

Weird minesays the same. I had my wifi off for at least 5hours

You have to go into WiFi settings and select one of the other features in advanced settings
TWEAKED 2.5

Because your WiFi radio keeps actively searching for an active signal unless you turn it off.

I believe the option in the advanced settings is "Scanning always available". If you turn that option off it should stop.

Simple, because the WiFi radio is on.

I have found WiFi battery usage to be very odd on the Note, at least Note 1. I used to have it turn off on screen off (settings default), but that caused battery drain. I then used Llama (Location Aware Mobile App?) to turn it off when the screen was off after a minute. Still drained.
I eventually left it on all the time I was at home or work, and it was much, much better. I guess going on and off all the time was the drag, or caused another issue.
I then used Llama to turn it off whenever I leave home or work, and turn it back on when I arrive. Happiness achieved.

I just drag down the notification bar and hit the toggle. One less active app to hog memory and battery...
Then again I also turn off mobile data when it is not needed. That spares me a full 4 days, and that's just on the s3. Imagine how long a note3 would last... (I'll know when my order finally arrives...)
