anybody else get constant data call failures when taking the phone out of sleep mode after disabling data connection always on? i was told turning it off will help battery life. the only way i can fix it is by updating my profile or doing a full data profile reset.
this has happened on both damage & fresh roms.
Did it happen yesterday about 2pm est? I have the paper at home with the instructions. I had to call advanced tech support twice yesterday and it finally cleared up around 7pm est after a couple of internet resets in advanced hidden menu. The one that worked, I didn't update profile, updated prl automatically. I cancelled when it tried looking for updates. Phone is working good today!

Have you flashed one of the customer kernels recently?
no custom kernels were used. this happened both yesterday and today with 2 different roms.
When I get that error I just do a Update Profile, it clears it right up.

i get this error when trying to connect to my PC via Internet Sharing with 3/4G.
It workes fine with WiFi though.
I will most likely end up calling Sprint to see what's up with this.

I am continually having to disable the Background Data option on my DZ, because something keeps re-enabling it in the background without my knowledge. This happens several times a day. How can I tell which app is enabling it?
Could be Market. You cant log in if you dont have background data enabled. So maybe its got a mind of its own and turns it on.
sometimes could be your people or facebook or email syncing in the background
Maybe silly question but have u disabled "allow always on mobile data" in mobile networks in settings?

If you mean the "Enable always-on mobile data" option then yes I have that unchecked. Is there some way of auditing which apps may be changing the Background Data setting?
Disable automatic syncing, if that doesn't do it you're better of reflashing

Auto-syncing is already disabled. Unfortunately it hasn't helped.
I haven't flashed the phone before so the prospect of doing it (and potentially bricking it) concerns me a little. I'm on software version 1.82.161.1 - is this a fairly recent version?

If I'm not missing anything you don't want your phone to connect at all? Then put something invalid for internet connection APN.
I've already done that. It's the drain on battery that I was concerned about - i.e. continually trying to connect

why dont you just disable mobile network untill you need it?
That's what I meant when I said I'd done it - I have the mobile network disabled by default. Presumably with background data enabled it will still attempt to connect frequently, and consume power, even if data is disabled?

Could be, there is really ****load of threads on this forum about finding out what app keeps your phone in wakelock.
Here is one.

What the heck are you using your phone for then? If you dont want any mobile data, just turn on airplane mode and then enable WiFi for data.
U sound a bit too paranoid. The chances of bricking your phone from flashing your phone one time are slim to none. Sounds like the rom is borked to me. It reminds me of people who are scared to death to click anything in windows cause there scared there gonna break something. There are people on here who WANT to brick there phone cause they want to send it into repair and not have tmobile see its s-off and can't even make the phone brick when purposely trying to.
You seem smart enough, as long as you can read your not gonna mess nothing up! They make these electronic devices idiot proof cause 99% of the users of them are idiots! (Xda users not included). If they were that easy to bust no one would even use a smart phone cause you would be hearing about it every day from all your friends/acquaintances!

Funnily enough I use it to make phone calls. When I need the occasional bit of data (maybe 2-3 times a day) I'll switch on wifi or 3G temporarily for that purpose. That way I may still have some battery left by the evening. Unless there's something else that keeps starting up and draining the battery of course....

Honestly, like the other poster said I think you're being a bit too paranoid. Just let your phone do its thing. Turn off mobile data, and turn off any app's auto-sync functions. If you absolutely don't need your phone to use data other than occasional WiFi it won't make a difference. You're not going to lose battery in any significant way with what these apps are doing.

Also, if you only need data 2-3 times per day, you should stop paying for a data plan.
I'm on a PAYG plan - 20p per Mb - so it's not a problem.
Incidentally I had a first attempt at rooting yesterday - followed the noob guide elsewhere in this forum but didn't get very far. I'm reasonably technical (a former developer) but the whole rooting thing is far from painting by numbers.
I have an open thread somewhere else on this issue
Right, it seems I have a new phone, same old issue. I started a thread before on this, got no reply.
When I connect to the internet through mobile data (4g/3g) a pop-up appears asking me if I want to do this. Obviously I do, otherwise I wouldn't have pressed the button which enables data connection. Pretty pointless right? Read on.
After, when I'm finished on the net and I want to cease data connection to save power/money, I click again to disable mobile data and yes, another pop-up appears! This time asking me if I am certain that I want to limit my data usage and save myself some battery life. Maybe, just maybe this one time I feel like burning my battery out or racking up a nice 4 figure phone bill.
So, I've gone through the forums, found that some people managed to rid themselves of this irritation on their xperia something somethings using an app called "Elixer" I think. They find and delete/disable a certain file on their phones and problem solved. Bam. No more needless questions when trying to do simple tasks.
Anyone know where this file is on the S4? Please? Answer this time?
Last time I spent a week or so killing the hell out of my phone with superfluous mods and roms until it wouldn't turn on anymore and I had to put it through the wash "accidentally" to claim insurance. Not planning to do that again. HELP!

Seriously? Nothing. Nobody can fix this here?
I took this screenshots last night, the kernel wakelocks(smdcntl0 and radio interface) are causing the massive drain in idle state, i searched the forums and havent found anything regarding these two wakelocks, this is in Cuba were there is no internet usage whatsoever, no wi-fi, no gps, nothing, this happened after i left the phone one week in airplane mode and then, after a factory reset, inserted the sim back in, i`ve done various flash throught RSD with the latest firmware avalble and dozens of factory resets, ever since, i am fully stock, non rooted, and with the 98.18 build, any help will be appreciated, i am going crazy with this...
sorry my english

Ive been using the razr m for a month now, last week i used in airplane mode( i was testing other phone) and yesterday when i began to use it normally the battery burned very fast, in one day it was down from 100% to 14% it usually lasted from 3 to 4 days(in cuba we dont have internet in our cellphones, just 2g for calls and sms, no wifi, just database based apps and games and media playback). i am using the stock rom(4.1.2, sist. version 98.16.1), no root, bloatware disable, no gps,the only uncommon thing i did was a factory reset through the phone settings...

Airplane mode should have saved your battery tremendously (since it disable all radios) and 2g speeds should be a battery saver too, even in poor-fair signal coverage, and factory resetting should have cleared out any battery draining apps that you may have experienced before doing the reset. Have you been more active with the phone lately? From what you are stating you shouldn't really be suffering from heavy drain.
in the past month i used the same way and it lasted like 3 or 4 days(only 2g), i am not doing anything unusual with the phone(with no internet what can you do), only 2g and the occasional gaming, i resell phones here(in Cuba) so i know a thing or two about android and i can tell something weird is happening after the factory reset...thanks for the quick reply anyways...i never post anything here because of my slow LAN connection, right now i am updating through connectify(wi-fi) to the last OTA and see if that solves my problems...thanks man and sorry for my english...

nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. don't update - that will lock the bootloader, thus preventing you from slapping on the latest/greatest custom ROMs...
well its updated now...i took out the micro-SD( a 16gb Polaroid class 10) and did another factory reset after the update and the problem continues...last night the battery burned in idle state from 100% down to 9%, i took a screenshot but don't know how to posted, i will do another factory reset (this time from the stock recovery) and see if that solves my problem, another thing i noticed is that after the update in the storage settings you can see like 7 different "usb modes" or something...i most say that i am impress by how fast you guys step up and help me and i wan to say that this is a great community...thanks
i think that somehow i screw the battery at a hardware level by doing the first factory reset, this is not a normal behavior...
Please anyone????
i flashed the phone with RSDlite(build 9.8.1Q-78-1) , did a cache wipe and a factory reset and the problem continues, can someone please tell me if flashing another firmware(the 9.8.1Q-66-1) can help me, i am getting 19 hours of battery( with the phone in idle state all the time)
19 hrs is good for battery life

could be that the phone signal is not strong enough and thus causing the phone to continue to search for a strong cell signal. might want to check the network settings.

i am having the best 2G(band 900MHZ) reception, i wish i could post screen shots so you can see, but my LAN connection is really slow(like 5kp/s), the kernel wakelocks are causing the massive drain, essentially this three " smdcntl0" , the "smdcntl1" and "radio interface" i flashed the 9.1.78 firmware through RSD and done a number of factory resets ever since and the problem continues, i really liked this device but cant live with this problem forever...now i don't know what to do next...

That's kind of what what I was thinking. Maybe it's searching for a data connection. He needs to disable data. Go to settings->more... ->Mobile Networks and make sure data enabled is unchecked.

Sorry if this has been discussed before. I just can't find it anywhere.
Is anybody having any Wi-Fi issues with their S8? What is happening for me, is that, I connect to my home private Wi-Fi network. Then 10 seconds later the network completely disconnects. Then approximately 10-20 seconds later it reconnects again. It keeps doing it over and over and over, non stop in a cycle. So I completely disconnected from my Wi-Fi, and I'm using my 4G LTE. I started noticing this at home, but then as I go to other to other Wi-Fi networks it's he same issue.
I even did a factory reset to the phone because of this issue and a home button vibration issue, where the vibration would not stop even in standby mode. It was also causing the Android OS settings to even be disabled, and not let me go into the OS serttings from the Android OS taskbar menu button, or the button for the settings in the app drawer. The factory reset did fix the vibration issue, but it didn't fix the Wi-Fi issue at all.
Also, is anybody else having this exact specific Wi-Fi issue I'm having?
Thanks in advance for all the answers and feedback!

You need too update your phone through the Samsung Apps app. Samsung released a fix for the wifi issue.

I already am up to date with all the apps in the Play Store and the Samsung store. I even contacted Samsung, and the woman on the phone on her own just completely connected me to a manager without saying a word to me. The manager ended up saying that he never heard of this and made a bug report so they could look into it. It's also not in their system, according to this manager. This was today around 5PM EST
It could be a hardware issue. Have you thought about exchanging it?

I already did. This is the second device to have the Wi-Fi issue. I just received my replacement device in the mail today around 4PM EST, which is the device I'm talking about here.
The thing I'm thinking is, that maybe if I went back to the direct cell phone providers store and did a buyer's remorse exchange. It could just be a batch of phones that have the same issue. Which more than one from the batch could be located at the same store. But since I'm in Florida, and the replacement device came from somewhere in Pennsylvania it's a completely different batch. Which the Samsung manager agreed with me. He even told me what I already know, that even if Samsung tests the phone. People in the real world using the phone, may encounter issues that Samsung never found on their own. He also went on to say that it's vital, that people in general, especially people that are tech savvy and semi tech savvy call in, because with us calling in it can help fix the issues that Samsung may have never encountered on our own. The manager also said, that there can be more people with the same exact issue, they just never called in and reported it like I have.

What kind of router are you using? Have to tried another? Go to a Starbucks, or some other free WiFi spot and test. So far with you it's been a 100% issue. I'd start looking at different things.

Like I said in one of the above post, that I noticed it at home first. But as I used other Wi-Fi's I noticed it was an ongoing issue. I've tired my home private Network, my work private network, and at a few friends houses.
The manager from Samsung, honestly believes that it is a Android OS bug.

It's not a big deal, I completely understand. So what else do you think I should try?
I also have issues with Wi-Fi similar to yours, if anyone has a solution, please let me know
Have you made sure that in settings you have a tick on "Keep wifi on durring sleep" ? Also for the sake of it, switch off "battery optimization" for all apps and see how it behaves. Also make sure you swithch off the option "smart network switch" under WiFi settings. What your phone is probably doing is constantly trying to switch between the WiFi and mobile data, or the power management puts it in sleep to preserve battery.
Well instead of getting the same same old suggestions (which Im sure you tried, all of them) you can read thru them all here in the thread that already exists:

Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep is activated. But it has nothing to do with that because my phone goes to standby mode in 30 seconds. While as soon as I connect to the Wi-Fi network, 10 seconds later it completely disconnects me. Then 10-20 seconds later it reconnects me. Then it repeats the same thing over and over. The phone can be completely in use, or it can be in standby mode, the same problem still occurs. Also the same thing goes for battery optimization, while it's on and off.
It also appears that someone else on the first page is having similar Wi-Fi issues. So maybe, a few of the many mass produced phones are having Wi-Fi issues. So maybe it's really an OS bug like the manager from Samsung on the phone yesterday was telling me.
Hi All, even am having a same problem, am here in Saudi Arabia and when i spoke to samsung Persons they are not showing an exact root of the problem and not even willing to exchange my mobile. this issue is with my mobile since 3 months and am waiting for upadte , i got 2 updates till now but none solved my wifi problem, i donno what to do
I can say this only happens to me when I have Bluetooth on and my watch connected and when I'm on a 2.4 signal vs a 5....and if by chance is your phone with sprint or verizon?
