Data Constantly In Use

So for the second day straight my phone battery has dropped to half in about 4 hours screen off in my pocket... After closing every program and turning off data sync, the 3G connection is still constantly in use. I downloaded a network traffic program to check usage, and to my surprise my phone had downloaded over 60MB in just 1 hour. I restarted the phone and the problem seemed to be fixed, however it's started back up again, even after restarts and switch from airplane mode and back.
I'm already using SwitchPro, I have all sync options turned off already. The problem didn't come up until a few days ago.
I haven't installed any new programs or widgets in the last couple of daysIs anyone else having a similar issue? Have you been able to solve it?

I had the same issue then I flashed Fresh. Now it is working proper. I would suggest flashing a dif ROM or factory reset.

Load aLogcat or Quicksysteminfo , from market and look at your logcat file. The cause will be obvious from there. If the phone is "idle" and the logcat is recording what's doing the data moving, you can then kill it.

Is it me or is the hands free Bluetooth constantly running even when unchecked.Maybe im looking at the log cat wrong but it appears that way

It looks like location services was using all that data. I think anyway, I'm not sure If read the logcat right, but a lot of that information dealt with location stuff. I went to settings, privacy, and disable google services from using my location and the constant 3g seems to have stopped.
Why would it just go ape **** like that after having the phone for 3 weeks?

I just noticed the same problem, turns out it was the people app that was causing it. I killed it and data traffic stopped. You can launch it from the menu and it loads back up and is fine. Just seems to be when it starts by itself when you first boot up the phone.

Data Locks/Freezes

Hello all.
I've been searching and searching for a solution to my issue. But I haven't found anything related to it. The problem I'm running into is that the data on my phone locks up and refuses to release if I use the data a lot on my phone. A lot meaning generally surfing the web, watching videos (via YouTube/Netflix), browsing the Market, using Google Maps, etc. Not that it won't lock when I'm using Gmail, or updating weather, or checking Gas prices, which it does. But they usually don't use data like the previously listed apps do.
The down arrow next to the H lights up and stays lit, a solid green. When data works, both the Up and Down arrows light up. And I notice that once it's just the Down arrow, data stops working. My phone slows down to an impossible crawl. Everything basically stops responding. Now if I'm quick enough on the draw and I notice that it's about to do it, and I enable Airplane mode, it cuts all of my connections. Then I disable Airplane mode and I can use the data again for a bit. But because of this problem, I have to restart my phone once a day (at least).
Data works fine (when it doesn't lock), and is really fast. Don't have a problem with that.
I'm currently running:
MDJ eVo Sense rEVOlution 2.3 (Froyo)
Baseband: 15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14
Kernel: 2.6.32.15r7.7-g187ebc6
on T-Mobile US Network
Everything else on this build works brilliantly. This one snag makes this otherwise amazing phone, extremely frustrating. I hope someone can help me out.
Thanks!

It's probably kernel related , so try using either Hieros, Tytungs or other kernel
You can also right after the error reboot into recover and go into Advanced and hit fix permissions

Having this problem too. But it works a few time to use a reboot or airplane mode. But after a serveral times doing that it really got stuck and the data connection doesn't come back anymore. Also noticed that my phone get's warm (under the battery)....
Update: Noticed that my data got stuck everytime after using the browser :S

Possible fix for wifi freeze

Ever since I downloaded gingerbread I have noticed (and I know I'm not alone) a wifi freeze that would occur everytime my screen would turn off. I've tried countless factory resets, reflashing recoveries, and apps like wifi reassociate and nothing seemed to work. When I reset my phone it would seem fine till I uploaded my go launcher app . Since then it wouldn't work, so I tried uninstalling it and vuala it works again and flawlessly might I add. I use the wifi off Wm screen is off feature in advanced settings and once I turn on the screen within 5 seconds the wifi is on again as well. Hopefully this is a fix for others as well..

sorry but just to clarify, are you saying that wifi freezes with go launcher only?
because I think that many users here are using launchers that differ from go launcher and yet they are facing this issue.
btw I am using stock 407 since a week and never once the wifi froze (touch wood!)

What I've noticed is that when WiFi stops working after the Dell Streak has been on standby for a while is that if I switch the device to Airplane Mode, then off Airplane Mode, it works properly, till it's been on standby for ages again. Small annoying glitch, but I deal with it.
It never freezes while in active use.

I'm using DSC 0.66b with Phoenix kernel and also noticed a problem with Wi-Fi freeze, but I fixed it by simply going to Settings > Wireless & networks > Wi-Fi Settings > Advanced and changing Wi-Fi sleep policy to never and then letting Green Power app to manage my Wi-Fi. Good enough for me, maybe this will be useful to someone else as well. Cheers.

I have tried 'wifi fixer' but it's not working for me...Can one please explain what is causing the problem actually? Is it caused by device or OS

Tried it, but after a few days uninstalled

The first few days it worked. But after awhile Wifi Fixer started giving me issues, specially using 100% of the CPU. I unistalled it. I couldn't take my Streak being slow.

The same thing was happening for me also. However, the problem went away after I re-flashed the 407 recovery and installed the Olleh ROM again on my streak. Fingers crossed !!

I was able to fix my wifi problems by setting up a static IP on the phone and router. I have a detailed post in the DSC Rom thread...

I've noticed a lot that with 407 the wifi shows as connected, but won't work until I turn wifi off and on again.

I hope this helps
I was looking into this WiFi freeze and ran into the XDA's crew. Is it possible to have mobile data working perfectly? I can't locate my sim card I believe its built in. My WiFi is set to off. My router will resume network if I turn wifi back on. The weird thing is. I have no data plan on this phone, its been down for years. I was shocked but it didn't help with the freezing, it was if I turned WiFi back on. Then the old Vibrate, Stall.ing, vibe one more time then the WiFi freeze thing.
Still on topic don't worry but that talk about go launcher. It "was" recently installed on my device. Till we all started doing data wipes Hahaa. My point is. As a fresh data restore no apps installed yet. My Google Search suggested that I use explorer, youtube or tubemate to view my search? I dont have that installed anymore I'm a changed man.. Thats why I brought up your Go Launcher theory. Maybe both launchers are interfering I guess, cuz I wouldn't know. I'm only here to give XDA's more Details so they can do what they do best...
My Samsung S738C is running 4.0.4 ics
Basebands S738CWYMJ1

Start with Go launcher or if there's anything this Noob can do. Won't be much

good job
thank you very much sir !

Wifi sucks on the KF

Hi, something that is happening to me since day one and with all the roms i tried. Basically, i can´t transfer from my pc or download from the internet any file that is more than a few MB. Every time i try to do it, the connection is lost before completing the transfer. Does anyone have the same problem? It really sucks as i don´t have a micro-usb cable always with me.

Never had that problem, use multiple access points at the house (3) and have used my unit at work (9 access points throughout the building), family member homes, client homes/businesses ... as well as my 4G hotspot.
I don't use open unsecure access points so I can't speak for them, but everything else works fine.

I have two Kindle Fires.
WiFi works fine on both of them.
I have had no such problem as you have.​

Works for me, last eve I d/l'ed a rom, took about 20 mins, but it finished fine..

Kindle's wifi is really good for me...it even works in my third Bedroom with doors closed, where few of my other devices find it hard to acquire...try checking ur modem settings...might help!

I have a sneaking suspicion that the stock ROM disables WiFi when the screen is off, or something similar.
Stock 6.2.2 rooted, was streaming music off of Grooveshark. Screen on, no problem. Screen off, after about 30 seconds the music stopped. I've also heard people complain Gmail won't sync in the background on the stock ROM, but I have found that isn't the case. It just won't sync in the background with the screen off
I am switching between Stock and the ICS port, and this eliminates the streaming problem (for me, YMMV of course).

My wifi sucks too. It was fine when i first got it but now it just constantly turns off and on. Every other device i have on my router works fine. Very frustrating. I'm tempted take my kindle back but i didn't get the warranty

You are correct, stock rom has wifi set to sleep with screen off. ''Wifi keep alive'' on the android market will fix that tho.

Worth a try but no guarantee.
Search for "wifi keep alive" in Android Market. Set your KF to "always on".

Other than WiFi shutting off with screen, the only other thing I've noticed is that the Fire doesn't seem to roam smoothly between APs.
When I'm using MSTSC to control my work PC, walking any distance always causes it to disconnect. Luckily, it only takes a couple seconds to reconnect. But, I imagine it'd cause a file copy to abort.

I have not had any issues transferring 1gb videos to my Kindle via Dropbox. Used to have this issue with My phone but then installed Juice Defender and enabled connectivity when screen is off for apps like, dropbox or Google music. worked like a charm, otherwise very happy with my Kindles wifi.

WiFi hangs and drops

Hi
I'm currently having a problem with my S4 that is driving me mad.
Ever since I got the phone I've had a bit of a problem with the WiFi connection. I've flashed a few kernels and some seems to help the problem more than others but it's still there.
What happens is the phone connects to WiFi no problems. Then maybe after a few minutes of use the phone won't give me any data. If I search a Web page it just hangs and then says unable to display web page. I then have to knock the WiFi off and back and and it cures the problem temporarily.
Sometimes the WiFi connection can be fine and last a few hours without hanging. Other times it can last a few minutes. The WiFi icon always remains on the screen and the arrows act as if data is getting processed but nothing ever happens. The odd time it will also kick itself off the WiFi and reconnect.
It's driving me mad having to constantly knock it on and off. I'm missing WhatsApp messages for hours because of it also.
Is it a common problem? If not the phone
is still under warranty so I will have to send it back but then that's me phone less for god knows how long
Any help would be great.

if you are rooted, flash this http://www.adrive.com/public/8DJWtV/WifiFix.zip
its a fix that sorted out my wifi problems

I think you should revert back to the latest stock and reset your modem. There might be some fancy settings in your modem software that need to be turned off. I read that somewhere but can't remember which ones. Just search on here.:cyclops:

Hi guys, sorry I've just seen the replies and thank you for taking the time
I shall have a blast at both your solutions and report back.
Thank you again

Well I tried the WiFi fix but that hasn't cured my problem. Today I will flash to stock rom and then re-root and see if that makes a difference. If not its off for repair under warranty and the old Nokia 8210 will be coming out of retirement for a few days lol

May be a fix?
1) type *#0011#
2) press menu button and select wifi
3) turn off power saving mode
4) restart
Alternative
1) download terminal emulator
2) type ping google.com

Hi jehbrian.
I've never heard of this fix but I'm willing to give it a go (whats the worst that can happen lol).
Done the above and indeed you get to a point where Wifi power saving mode is on. I've knocked it off and will see how I get on in the next couple of days. It does make sense that the power saving mode could be killing the Wifi every now and again.
Thanks for the tip and have a pleasant day :fingers-crossed:

I had tried that one. It spends about 10% more battery.

Does it?
Surely there must be something else that can compensate for this loss if it means the Wifi actually works. GPS? Bluetooth? Screen brightness?
My phone is on my dock so can't verify the loss of battery.

I've never noticed the battery drain... besides, S4's battery life is bad anyway.
