Hi All,
A friend of mine got himself a iPhone.
Without customs builds, SDKs, etc... I still think the home
cooked builds for WM are much better.
One thing I envy is that apparently his WiFi is alway on.
Having that on it connects to all the networks it can
saving/speeding lots of data for professional use of
a mobile device (I use it as my mobile office).
What is most desirable is that his battery doesnt
seem to run out any more faster.
I tried to use once with my WM and my device asked for
more juice in 3 hours.
Is there a driver / app that can use the wifi hardware as iPhone does ??
some kind of passive WiFi mode ???
Cheers,
Smartin

I also have a friend with an iPhone right here with me and his does not stay connetcted when the phone is put to sleep mode, well it will stay connected for 30 seconds and then shut down. I verified this by pinging his phone from my PC, after 30 seconds of sleep - no answer and my router lost it from its lists of clients. BUT it was wery quick to aquire the signal after waking up. I then set the IP lease to 3 minutes and put the iPhone to sleep for 5 minutes just to be sure and then it took the usual 5-7 seconds to aquire IP again so it seems to me its using som kind of quick connect settings as long as the lease doesn´t expire.

Hi...
is there any solution to get it quicklier?^^
this quickgps thing isn't really the sh**... and tomtom tooks a lot of time to get a gps signal ('round 2-3min)
thankz
try using PHM RegEdit and doing the GPS tweak listed in the HTC Raphael Tweaks thread, i did that and a soft reset, after waitin 1-3 minutes before my GPS connected in about 6 seconds... Seems to work for me, i did the QuickGPS thing at the same time before soft reset but i tried that before and alone it didnt do anything so the tweak must be the answer...
Yea, another thread about GPS. YEA.

wow, i haven't heard that before
/end sarcasm
moral of the story, don't be a ****
still, letmegooglethatforyou.com is pretty cool....
My understanding is this:
2-3 minutes is a normal Warm Start delay for a TP with quickGPS ephemeris data. That being said, I've seen (far) less with mine. I'm still unsure how it can happen without AGPS active when you're outside the direct "Hot Start" window (ephemeris data received directly from satellite and its still visible).
I agree on the letmegooglethatforyou.com.....
But I also agree with KD8DNS, please, not another GPS thread...
Hi all,
Im having problems with tethering with my sensation and it is frustrating me. I've tried it with 2 laptops and also with my desktop and still no success. The wireless devices do recognize the phone with no issue and showing me full reception, but yet i cant browse and it seems something is blocking it.. is it something that has to do with the phone or is it that my cell provider blocking it?
here is a picture to demonstrate the problem. As you can see, the phone is identified with full reception and telling me it is connected, but theres the yellow mark which indicate a problem and it says "no internet access" although i am connected.
It is like that with every device i try to tether

P.S
If it matters, then im using the Eleganicia sense 4 rom although this problem also happened with sense 3.6 roms as well
shame there are no replies as i'm having the same problem. it also happens with bluetooth tethering. All connects/pairs fine but no internet. I have mainly been trying to use this with my Nexus 7 for when i'm out and about. If it helps, i'm with Orange UK.
Any help would be appreciated!
Hi,
In order to set up tethering,I went to settings/more/tethering & portable hotspot/portable WiFi hotspot settings/ and then set my password and SSID
Turn on hotspot and mobile data,find my device,connected using the password,and everything worked.
Not sure if you missed any of those steps.
I'm in Canada and on a recent trip for a couple weeks through the States I had roaming turned off. However when I got home and received my cell phone bill, I had been charged approx $80 for roaming ($7.99/day 50MB automatically added by provider) so something on the phone was reaching out for data every day for 11 days even though roaming was turned off. The total amount of data used was 56KB
I looked at the data usage on the phone and below is what it tells me.

If I tap on Android OS it doesn't tell me anything. Has anyone else run into this? I've managed to get my cell provider to cut the charges in half but I'd really like to get to the bottom of this.
IMO it's now late to analyze something. You would have installed an app to monitor you data connection.
Unfortunately this system menu doesn't give a lot of details. I bet this consumption is caused by the 'backup data' feature.
How do you disable roaming when its unticked?,
I have disabled mine but it goes into roaming when im rural (same country), i get a message "connected to roaming charges may apply"
I just want the mobile service without data transmission,
I havent got billed as i took my sim out when i last traveled
I think its been a bug since 4.4.3
No directly related but they got roaming issues

Hello All,
On both my wife's and my Tmobile S7s running 6.01 on the November security patch, the location services are terrible. The phone keeps thinking I am at my house when I am 20 miles away at work. My wife has the same problem. If I toggle location services off then on, it instantly updates to the correct location. Eventually if defaults back to my house. This wouldn't be such a huge deal if I didn't have a SmartThings home automation system. SmartThings keeps unlocking my front door, turning on lights, and putting the heat back on because according to the phone I am at my house and the automation kicks in. Here is what I have done to try to fix the location issue:
- Location on with method = GPS, Wi-Fi, and mobile networks.
- Improved accuracy on with Wi-Fi scanning and Bluetooth Scanning enabled.
- Under Optimize Battery usage, I have unoptimized Location Services (meaning it should always be running).
Does anyone else have this problem with their S7s? If it were jsut mine, I would chalk it up to a faulty device, but it is happening to my wifes as well. Any other tricks to make this stop happening?
Check your apps to make sure the location permission hasn't been unchecked. Exactly which app could be missing that is hard to say. A factory reset might be your friend for this kind of situation.

In many cases when I want to transfer files wirelessly via apps like SSHDroid (SFTP), other FTP servers or KSWEB (http) or Airdroid, a few minutes after the screen turns off, I cannot transfer files anymore as the connection is down. When I turn on the screen, the connection resumes..
In all these server apps I have enabled Wifi alive (i.e. keep wifi on when screen off), but it presumably it does not work very well.
It appears that the wifi always turns off when the screen is off, regardless of settings.
Is there an app which keeps the wifi alive when the screen is off ? I tried tTorrent running 'dummy' just hoping to keep wifi alive when using one of these file transfer apps, but that does not always work either.
i assume you have the wifi setting to remain on even when in sleep mode?

Of course and I have disabled to kill 'battery consuming' apps, see screenshot of 'Settings => Battery => [cogwheel top right]'.
But the screen is a worst battery hog as using file transfer over wifi requires the screen on.

In WiFi settings, tap on the configure cog wheel icon and change it from there. No need for another app.
