HSPDA I think
Bascially when my phone download it displays a H and when it's not it displays 3G
Yes, it's HSDPA. It's faster than 3G, so it's good if you see that, it means that your provider has faster internet
On Nokia handsets, HSDPA shown as 3.5G .

uhm does that mean i have am using a premium service that requires me to pay additional lol?
it wasn't like this. It recently became H from 3g only. :X
I've never heard of HSDPA being charged as a premium service. It's just your providers network.
Anyway you can disable it from them settings if you want. Just go to Settings>Wireless and network>Mobile networks>Network mode and choose GSM only. An alternative is to use APNdroid from the market.
I disable it when I'm in a WiFi network or when I don't need a data connection because it uses more battery.
I use the "WCDMA only" (forces HSDPA on) when I want a data connection so my phone does not switch to GSM automaticaly. Be careful if you use that option though. If you move to an area with no HSDPA coverage, your phone won't switch to GSM and you'll have no network connection

That's partly right. It does not send or receive data through the mobile data connection but that does not mean it switches to GSM network. It stays connected to the HSDPA mobile network just handles the data requests through WiFi. In my experience anyway
True, but if you don't go into WiFi/Advanced/WiFi Sleep Policy and set it to NEVER, when your phone goes to sleep so does WiFi, which causes the 3G radio to turn back on and using wireless data for updates, email checks, etc.
Long story short, if you're spending a lot of time in a WiFi area, set it to never sleep to save a lot of battery and a bit of data usage.
If you're moving around a lot, leaving WiFi on when the phone is sleeping will use more power, because not only is your 3g radio on, so is the WiFis, as it's constantly looking for a known network to hook up to and scanning for new ones.

Hi I have a few questions about your comment here. I am in an office connected to wifi all day at work and when at home connected to wifi. When I look at battery usage it states
Display 46%
cell standby 19%
phone idle 12%
mario live wallpaper 9% (highest ive seen it but it is the best thing on this phone)
...
...
Wi-Fi 2% (lowest item in list)
Are you saying if i tell it to never make wifi sleep then cell standby usage will go down and i will use less network data? and battery usage will be less then if it makes wifi sleep?
Also if i do this when I am not in office/home and i disable wifi will that also save me some battery?
At the moment i just have wifi on all the time and let the phone use what it wants to.

I believe "cell standby" does not talk of ACTIVE 3.x/2.x G connections! So you should not be looking at that parameter. However it is interesting for us to know that WiFi hardly use any power. "cell standby" should only talk of when mobile is really in standby or display off, low power (suspended) mode.

3G radio uses a LOT more power than short range WiFi. When WiFi is on and connected, the 3G connection is totally turned off. Totally.
Think about it this way...once you get past the new and shiny phase of owning your device, it probably spends MOST of its time with display off and sleeping. So, it will spend a LOT of its time connected to 3g if you let the WiFi go to sleep.
Turning Background Data and Autosync off will prevent the 3G radio from switching back on when WiFi is sleeping (and prevent WiFi from using much transmitter power when awake as well). But turning off sync/background data is not ideal if you need emails or whatever as soon as they are sent, accurate weather forecasts, etc.
Least battery usage is of course in Airplane mode with WiFi and Bluetooth turned off as well, since there is no radio activity at all. But we bought these devices in part because they're connected and "always on" data is coming in.
Here is how I do it:
I use APNdroid to switch 3G off when it's not needed. I find that I only rarely need 3G. Seems that you do not need it either.
I leave WiFi sleep on because tbh I have no reason not to. When WiFi goes to sleep 3G does not autoconnect anyway because of APNdroid.
That way the phone uses plain 2G when no data are needed. When data are needed it uses WiFi most of the time and 3G only when no WiFi is available and I manualy select to put 3g on
Sorry to chair another question.. I see a 'g' logo sometimes... Instead of 3g and h. What's g?

G = GPRS ( General Packet Radio Service )
E = EDGE ( Enhanced Data rates for GSM Evolution )
3G = 3rd Generation ( I unno, wtf. )
H = HSDPA ( High-Speed Downlink Packet Access )
Basically G(PRS) operates over GSM, it's from dial-up speeds to twice as fast as dial-up.
EDGE operates over 2G, it's almost as fast as standard DSL, about 400kbits and a maximum theoretical 1Mbit.
3G operates in tandem with HSDPA, infact technically HSPA is the technology that is used on the 3G network. It is typically up to 7.2Mbps, with a maximum theoretical of 14Mbit.
HSDPA and HSUPA are specific aspects of a HSPA enabled system. They are Down link and Up link capability respectively.
When you see H, the phone is going from a stable 3G connection to a boosted power consuming ( which is why it isn't constantly on ) state in which it can download very quickly.
Settings, Wi-Fi, advanced. What does the Wi-Fi optimization tick box do?
I'm periodically losing my connection to Google services while my phone is idling on Wi-Fi. Would this help? Would it drastically increase battery consumption?

Hmm, interesting. I think I'm seeing the same thing with GrooVe IP periodically disconnecting from Google Voice. I had an extended email thread with a support person for GrooVe IP, and one of the things he suggested was to turn off Wi-Fi optimization. As far as I can tell, neither "on" nor "off" had any effect on how frequently the connection to Google Voice dropped.
I'd be very interested if anyone has another suggestion.

If there was any change, it was too small to notice in the limited testing I did.
I've noticed that I'm getting disconnected pretty frequently from gtalk when the screen is off. I just turned off Wi-Fi optimization to see if it makes a difference. I have my wifi always on during sleep so I can't think of anything else that would affect this.

I'm experiencing the same problem too but it doesn't have to do with the Wi-Fi optimization setting. Apparently it has something to do with the 4.2 update and our routers. Many others are having the problem too as there's a issue title for it already

That doesn't sound like the issue I'm experiencing. For example, the description there says, "Have to toggle wifi on/off to get it to connect again." Whatever is happening to cause GrooVe IP to lose the connection with Google Voice, it repairs itself automatically; GrooVe IP always reconnects within 30 seconds after a disconnect without any manual intervention on my part (not even opening the app: I'm just watching the status icon in the notification bar).

The problem with GrooVe IP/Google Voice does not occur only when the screen is off; I have watched GrooVe IP disconnect and reconnect with no provocation while I was reading an RSS feed, for example.
GrooVe IP call disruption
I have been noticing GrooVe IP calls getting disrupted all of a sudden while I am on a call on Nexus 4 (4.2 update) as well. There would be no sound for may be 15 seconds or so and then may be the call would get back to normal. Also, in GrooVe IP my bluetooth headset(Voyager 975) voice has been quite "crackly". That is, my voice via the bluetooth headset mic.

I must thank OP for bringing this to my attention. This past week my N4 have had hard time connecting wifi when I am on different floor from the router. Yesterday i read this thread and then unchecked wifi optimization. Since then, my N4 can always stay online :good:
Thanks!!!
That said, two things I can confirm with my own experience:
1, uncheck it increase wifi reception
2, battery drains slightly faster, but not much. check it only when you are very close to the router.
Similar issue but only on N4
I am having perhaps a related problem with my N4. I do get intermittent disconnect from Wi-Fi, too, but the bigger problem that I am having is that the link speed between the N4 and the router is at 1 Mbps. The status icon shows full bars with "Excellent" signal, but the actual speed is at 1 Mbps (perhaps below).
What's perplexing is that my N7 doesn't have this problem. Same exact OS (4.2.1). I see 65 Mbps, 72 Mbps, etc., on N7 while the N4 next to it shows 1 Mbps. This essentially makes it impossible to do anything in Wi-Fi including VOIP calls.
Are there routers that are known to work well with N4? My router is old and I wouldn't mind changing it if there is one.
Same issue here stock unrooted. Speeds slow to a crawl. I found to get 1mbps I can put the phone in airplane mode and shut off GPS the rest of the devices in the house on the same router get 15-20mbps

i got my 3g nexus 7 a week ago and its been fantastic. thee is, however, a minor annoyance that im curious if anyone else has experienced
i usually cut the mobile data off when using it on wifi, and ive noticed after long periods of inactivity, the mobile data will turn itself back on.
is this a known issue? im running completely stock at this point.
Just put it on airplane mode than turn on WiFi.... That way you're sure that mobile connectivity is disabled.

I do the same thing. You'll see the WiFi icon and the airplane icon both on the status bar. Without airplane mode, the cellular modem will still be on and connected to the cellular network all the time. If you have WiFi available, you're wasting battery power on the unused cellular connection. Also if the WiFi turns off to conserve power, it may start using the cellular data. That is not good if you have a limited data plan.
I've posted a question before asking if anyone knew how to create a widget to toggle the cellular radio on and off and received no response.
I generally do use airplane mode when on WiFi, but it was one of those little quirks I noticed and was wondering if it was happening to anyone else
As for a toggle widget for the 3g, I use power toggles. It seems to work, but I've wondered I'd that is actually the culprit. I could get rid of it and see, but it's such a minor issue ATM

I'm looking for app, which can turn off data, when connection to know wifi spot is made and from the other side, when there is no known wifi spots, turn data /3g back on.
I know, that if both wifi and data is on, phone use wifi, if there is known spot, but don't phisicaly turn off data connection automaticly.
I tried SmartConnectivity, Smart Wifi toggler, but it's not working, as I want.

Qualcomm's battery guru does this there's a learning period but after that it should perform in the manner you're describing

maybe in a few years that app will get somewhere. as it is, google location based wifi switchers aren't a good idea, unless you're using location services 24/7 anyway (latitude, gnow, etc).
I use wi-fi matic + macrodroid. When I come home, wi-fi matic detects the cell tower I'm connected to and switched on wifi. Once connected, macrodroid switches airplane mode on, and sipdroid connects to my sip provider. Once I leave and lose the wifi connection, macrodroid disables airplane mode. Then wi-fi matic sees that I left my area and switches off wifi. Totally automated
agreed... I don't use it myself(I'm a self-switcher) but I did install when it first came out and found it behaves like the op desires

Okay here is .prf i just created put it in your tasker folder(auto-import).
It works perfect.
Open tasker and import it.
On any WiFi you connect(you can change that by pressing green arrow and add your know WiFis if you would like) it disables Mobile Data(You cant receive MMS if Mobile data is off) on WiFi you connect and when you lose your connection whit WiFi it disables WiFi and kicks in Mobile Data On so you dont need to worry to disable WiFi it does automatically.
ENJOY!

Llama (just search the Play store for it, I can't post the link...) seems to be a good single app location aware solution. The first play store review pretty much says it all "More flexible than Atooma, but not brain-melting like Tasker. Just makes using your phone easier, and more helpful."
I've been struggling with Tasker for several days trying to get it to do the same thing (toggle wifi and mobile data settings automatically based on my location). I had Llama set up and working beautifully in maybe an hour and a half, which included the time to read the devs instructions and FAQ (click "View Developer's Website from the Play store).
It uses cell towers to determine your location, so there is no battery hit, or you can optionally enable wifi polling or GPS for more accurate locating. It can also perform actions based on when your wifi changes state (connects or disconnects) regardless of your location. And since it's "Tasker-like" it can perform a lot more than just handling your data connections: adjust volumes or screen brightness, launch/kill apps, even shut off or reboot the phone (only if rooted). For example, mine is set up to remove my lockscreen password when I am home and re-enable it when I leave the area of my home wifi and it was fast and simple to get configured.

With this Tasker script you have to turn on WiFi by yourself, is that correct?
Than script turns off data and turn it back ON, when you lose connection. But than again, when wifi is presented, you have to turn it on by yourself...
I think, this script is doing something similar as this app

Hello everyone, I've tried to find the answer to this from multiple websites and forums but nobody was able to give me an satisfactory answer.
Sometimes I need to turn off my mobile network but want to keep on my WiFi as I'm usually calling people through Skype, whatsapp and Facebook messenger, I've tried Airplane mode but it turns off all the communication devices in the phone i.e wifi, Bluetooth and mobile network. I was wondering is there any way in which I could keep my WiFi connected and disable only my Sim Network as I don't afford to keep on connecting and reconnecting my WiFi again and again by turning on airplane mode.
Any help would be a life saver.

Dude I don't think you understood my question here. The problem is i want to shut off my cellular NETWORK (not the cellular data) . When i put my mobile on airplane mode(it turns off my cellular NETWOK, but also turns off my wifi). I am finding a way around if this can be avoided by ONLY turning off the Cellular NETWORK not th WiFi.
Hope that clears my point =)

Bro maybe I'm not making myself clear enough here, let me tell you in detail. Look, I don't use my cellular data(by cellular I mean the Sim Network like AT&T, Orange). I use wifi to call, like on Facebook messenger, Skype. The problem that I'm facing is that where I live, sometimes the my Sim Network signals drop, therefore I turn on the airplane mode to completely shut down cellular network so I can deactivate the airplane mode later so I can get my cellular network signals back again. Now in doing this process i.e turning on the airplane mode, the phone turns off my WiFi too. That is very annoying as I'm usually connected to Skype calls through my WiFi. I was looking for a way that if we could JUST TURN OFF CELLULAR NETWORK WITHOUT THE PHONE AUTOMATICALLY TURNING OFF THE WIFI.
I hope now I cleared my point
Thanks for the help =)

Bro, maybe you aren't paying attention. The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 has the ability to operate purely on WiFi while airplane mode is enabled. So if you turn on airplane mode, initially it will turn off all networks (voice,text, wifi, Bluetooth, etc.). After that, you can manually turn the wifi back on and it will work purely from the wifi network.
Try the Do Not Disturb feature. That may be what you're looking for.
