Hi!
For those who use tasker, do you have the same issue?
I want to set internet speed to 2G when the screen is off so I can still receive my notifications but don't waste my battery
It says the option is not available for the device... any workaround?
Thanks for your help !
Would be a great tool to save battery and data when not in use.
I think we need a custom kernel. Doesn't work for me. It worked fine on gn, but I had custom kernel so not sure if it worked on stock or not.

Does anyone know what lib is needed in the kernel to make this run? I would rush towards the first kernel that integrates it!

hi guys
just wondering if anyone has got a method for this?
i am thinking it will be good if i use the nfc on my nexus 7 to triggle my galaxy nexus to toggle wifi hotspot to be on or off
this way i can quickly turn it on or off depending on where i am..
be good if someone can tell me if this is possible
btw don't patent this and then sue me
thanks
My friend had some NFC tags and I played with things like this on my HOX - it should be just the same with the N7. I used the app with the tags and was able to set up "profiles" of sorts. One for work that would turn WiFi on, GPS off, and set the phone to vibrate. Then another profile to do the reverse. I'd imagine WiFi hotspot would be listed in the huge list of things you could do too.

is there anyway to make the nexus 7 nfc reader behave like a tag?
if i can then i can make this happen already

I think you can do something like that with tasker (& NFC Task launcher?). Not sure..

Everytime I flash a new rom and go to wifi setup in begining I enter the wifi key correctly but my N7 just sits there and it says
"Saved. secured with WEP" . Never says connecting ?!?!? WTF . thanks
I have no issues. Using Linaro AOSP latest.

I'm just learning reading xda myself, if I remember correctly it's your current kernel not matching. Seems I read that on a couple different threads.???? Keep reading and someone please let us know if I'm wrong. Thank you

USB teher- doesn't function at all. No data ever transferred
Wifi- connects but doesn't transfer any data like USB
Bt- works but, data is slow ~20KB/sec
This is disappointing since I got MB regularly on my g1 despite the older radio... I'm going you guys have done experience with jelly bean and tethering.

Same here. I have problems with WiFi tethering using the stock option. I didn't try apps cause, last time I tried them (other android), they killed the battery.
Not a fan of Bluetooth, I expect it to have a bandwidth limitation, which would answer your question.
But we both share the need for wifi-based help
So I'd love some help too
TIA

Now BT tether has reached 170KB/sec which seems like the max. Though I would prefer at least 1MB.

Any notifications I get such as New messages on what app or Facebook posts only Notify me the instance I wake the device. This only happens when connected to wifi. I tried multiple access points too. This never happened to me when I was running a month old cm10.1 rom but now any rom I flash has this problem. Currently running AOKP. It's so annoying when your phone doesn't vibrate when you get a new message until you actually turn it on. Any suggestions?

Make sure WiFi sleep policy is set to always.

Yeah it is lol
It seems to be fine on latest nightly of cm still happens on other roms though
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Are the roms with the problem using a custom kernel/boot.img ?
Back when it worked a month ago, I was using francos kernel. Now I'm running cm with whatever kernel it comes with and it seems to be working. AOKP or PA still have the lag issue.

For me I've noticed push notifications don't work on any kernel that has the wakelock fixes when using WiFi with the screen off on any message type app I have tried, though gmail does work. Older custom kernels or the original kernel work fine.
Maybe your error is similar?
You might be right. Any idea if the kernel for PA or AOKP include these fixes? And does Franco kernel include these fixes?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Franco kernel introduced the fixes at much the same time as all the other kernel devs, you would to look at the respective change logs to see at what revision the fixes were implemented.
With franco kernel r34 notifications are fine over wifi.
Regards.
It's known issue, not a kernel/rom, Google's fault!

No its not, stop saying it everywhere. Original boot.IMG and other kernels pre wake lock fix work fine. I was a using message apps faultlessly for a whole month before kernels with the wake lock fixes came out

Sorry to say but Franco himself said this was Nexus 4's fault...
Don't care what franco said, with non wake lock fix kernel my message apps work fine with wifi/screen off, with wakelock fix kernels they don't... black and white. And it's not a wifi problem here because gmail syncs work fine all the time whatever kernel.
How do you account that i used them fine for @ month ? and still can if i flash a non wakelock fix kernel... but i'm guessing franco made no such absolute as you claim.
It's not Googles fault. Stock rom works flawlessly so does the latest cm build.

FYI. whatsapp been lagging on my iPhone 4 for a while too actually on 5.1.1 (i think)
It doesn't lag at all on cm or stock

Uh, yeah it is. The WiFi driver cannot offload ARP broadcast requests, so Google chose to have the phone disregard ARP requests, most likely to reduce power usage. Have you ever had a device that can't be pinged when in standby? Now you know the reason.
The driver will be updated in a future release. You can sidestep this problem on a dd-wrt router by assigning a static IP addresses to the device.
If you receive emails always on time, then you are lucky that you have a router whose ARP cache timeout is unusually long, at least longer than Google's heartbeat which is set at 15 minutes. Using mobile data does not apply to any of the above.

I did a few searches and wasn't really able to pull up much in the way of battery tweaks, what's everyone doing in terms of this? I'm currently running stock rom, all I did was fully update after getting the phone from Sprint and then rooted and proceeded to install twrp using goomanager. I'm coming from the Galaxy S2 running calks GB build, so I'm used to 3 days of battery with heavy usage! I know this phone won't be able to achieve that right out of the gate with the current level of development going on, but I'm sure I can optimize it some how. I'd consider going to a custom ROM and kernel..flashing seems similar to the S2 but I'm nervous!

I've never heard good things about those kinds of apps...maybe because they didn't get along well with custom tweaks? Do they work well with stock setups?

Tried it... and if anything I got LESS battery life because it runs in the background constantly.
@vadyr56 Download KT SGS4 Kernel, I'd also recommend to download GSam Battery Monitor and see if you have anything running in the background a little too much!
I get phenomenal battery life with no tweaks stock rooted. I turn off most things since I don't use them and thats about it.

I have everything turned on (Google Now, all Samsung Goodies like Gestures, S-Voice Voice commands, etc.) and still manage to get a day and a half with like 3-5 hrs of on screen time.
