So one of the first things I did on all my previous phones was block notification for the app which hid the persistent WiFi calling notification. It seems samsung hid this for some stupid reason. Any way to hide it now?

If you set wifi calling to only when there's no network signal, then the icon won't be there till wifi is the only available connection. Doesn't really solve your problem if you want wifi calling all the time but if you have unlimited minutes there's no need for wifi calling when you have full bars.
The notification annoyed me so much, I simply disabled Wifi calling. Don't need it anyway.
Ingenious idea for t-mobile lol. Put it there so people turn it off. Though I guess it's more samsung I'm sure.

Why would T-Mobile want that? They would prefer you use Wifi instead of their network IMO
That allows them to have more customers with less congestion. Plus all plans have unlimited calling/text nowadays
Oh I agree, my comment was sarcastic and why I think it's samsungs doing.

If you're looking for a "reason" for the notification, it's much more simple and not at all devious.
It's to prevent Android from kiling the Wifi Calling function, much like many other apps that have to maintain a notification to keep the app in memory.
It wouldn't be as bad if they moved it to the right like on the m9

Is there an application out there like this that is freeware? i would love to track the other phones from my phone, but more so so the others on my family plan do not know i am doing it (otherwise they turn off their phone..lol)
ttttttttttt
this would be awesome!
as intriguing an idea as this is, it would require upper level network capabilities that only your service provider can provide. this is also possible if your phones have gps.
Don't quote me, but i'm pretty sure that is the only way.
there has to be some evil genius on here that can do it.
still no evil genius figured this out yet lol... years later..!! =(

It looks like it is good for Windows Mobile platform. I lost Samsung Rant. Does anyone know any sms I can send to my lost phone to retrieve its location?
TIA

This app is able to track other phone's location silently from one's phone.
It is here,

No more support on window mobile tracking app. So far I know still window mobile tracking app has the best choices but sadly they are no longer available..
Just wanted to let you guys know since the deveoper just came out with an update specifically for the N1.
Before this app I would be at my house and even though I had a Wifi signal on my N1 showing I wouldn't be able to use the internet and have to turn it off and on to get a real signal again. With this app I haven't had to do that once in the last 3 days.
Oh and it's free
How about a Link?

I think he means a link to the app, which he can probably just search for in the market.
I would like to know what exactly this app does.
The app description in the Market says that it is useful for all versions of Android, and that it maintains a wifi connection which all versions of Android have problems maintaining... but it breaks commercial wifi hotspots or something.
Can someone please explain what exactly this app does and why I would need it.
probably this one:
http://www.appbrain.com/app/org.wahtod.wififixer
oh great, good explanation.
one guys says doesnt work at all, one guy says fixes all issues one guy says I dont get it. Well, I'm convinced I need this.
honestly ill probly just try it lol
Try it and let us know!
no it dose nothing on my n1 with CM
i have so many problems when i try connect to wifi on my home router it sometimes connect and sometimes doesn't i don't understand why
i have reception bars on the my wifi it just says cant connect
but when i disable the wifi security i works every time
anyone have any ideas
EDIT: i just tried changing the wifi channels to 1 to 10... i testd them all and i got one to work... i think the nexus one has trouble connecting to some channels
Is it possible to get the mobile signal strength on GT 7.7
I had try lots of ways but can't successful.
What you mean "get"? To get it as a function in your own app's code or just you want to see it?
Turn off WiFi and you'll see strength bars in notification popup (on the place where you usually see WiFi signal bars).
There are plenty of apps like this one that display signal info:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.cellsignaltester.moby
You can also get that in the About page of the device settings. What exactly are you after?
nooooo, use this one instead, this Widget is better

It's all the same data obtained from the phone. A widget tends to suck battery and performance so that's why I recommended a simpler app. Since there are a ton of them, it's really incumbent on the end user to decide what they like.
All of that apps doesn't work on SGS2/Tab7.7 (Exynos-based chipsets).
No, they work (run), but unable to show correct signal level due to a "bug" in modem FW. They always show +85dbm. So the only way to see correct signal strength is the system signal meter in statusbar.
Any way to update the modem driver to fix the Bug ?

Don't think so. Samsung does not care about it - still not fixed even on SGS2, which is already on the market for a long time. Maybe it will be fixed with ICS release, nobody knows.
Whenever I connect to the internet on my N4, something keeps chewing up all the data bandwidth, so much so that my HSPA connection ground to a halt this morning!!
What is the best way to determine what is using up all the bandwidth without going through every single app and disabling them one by one?
Any good apps that will track this?
Please don't mention the "Data Usage" within Android Settings - to me it is almost useless!

for me 3G watch dog and data usage gives almost similar number +-2%. Other than 3G watch dog I used phone usage from play store.
There are firewall available which makes you choose which all apps you want to use your data. (MIUI had great inbuilt option which I used year ago)
The Data Usage app built into Android 4.2 does work for you?

You can even look at a day by day usage, by touching the graph and moving the white handles around.
Set a Warning notification by moving the orange handle..
Hello guys, may I ask you, if I set the "allow background activity" to restricted is this bad for my notifications?
They will arrive asap?
What restricts this mode?

it shouldn't make any difference
Left that on. To be fair, it only used 1% according on my stats, so it's not causing any issues.

It was disabling misscall notification in S9+. I'm yet to thoroughly understand what this android system activity "consists of".
I've set it to restricted some days now and all notifications are arriving at their time.
No missed call notifications are missing.

In S9 plus it was blocking in a way that miss calls weren't shown on time and was delayed once restricted, in Oreo in my usage . Don't know if anything has changed after that.
But one thing is for sure: The more the phone is used ,the more the battery consumption of android system activity. So technically, if it's restricted, some ongoing services are affected while the phone is in use.
