In my house I have really bad reception. Some apps sometimes try to use my data connection to download updates. The problem is, if I don't have any reception at that time, a window pops up telling me it cannot connect.
How can I turn that off? I went through settings and notifications and couldn't find anything. I went through Schapp's Advanced Config and couldn't find it either. There must be a way to disable notification that the phone couldn't connect for data... so how do I do it?
deactivate data connection in comm manager. I use phonealarm which does it every night and have no more "cannot connect"-messages anymore.
Thanks for the reply... but that's not exactly what I'm looking to do.
I work from home so I'm home most of the day. I use my phone quite a bit to for certain tasks. I need the phone to be able to try and connect whenever it wants... I just don't want to be notified if it can not connect.

I haven't found a way to do this. However, I've written a program to handle those popups while using TomTom (see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=458342), but there's no reason why you couldn't have something like that running all the time. It wouldn't stop the popups, but it would auto-close them for you within a short period of time.
Do you want me to write that for you?
Cheers,
Steve.
Thanks for the reply Steve and for offering to create an app for me.
But I don't think it would really solve my biggest issue... which is having the popup show every few minutes while I'm actually using the phone. It's faster for me to just click on the dismiss button.
So it doesn't look like there's a way to disable this "feature." You'd think there'd be a registry value to edit or something.
But thank you again for offering to help.

Yes, you would have thought there would be an option for this. A program to auto close the dialog could make it so that it literally just flicks up, and then disappears, but I agree it's not terribly satisfactory.

What you need is to turn off Auto Connecting, but you have to do manual using some registry edit software:
Change DWORD Value from "1" to "0" in:
HKCU\Software\HTC\ConnectionSetup\EnableAUTODetect

There's no ConnectionSetup under the HTC folder.
Here is an application to make specific programs(like ebook reader,SatNav etc) prevent standby when they are running. It will watch them even when they are in background, so be careful, if you just forget them running in the background, your phone will not go into standby. (v1.1 change: now you can disable background watch by checking "monitor active window only")
Installation:
1- Just install the latest cab file onto Device Memory and NOT Storage Memory.
2- You need .NETCF 3.5, if you don't have it, install it.
Usage:
1- If you will use background watching, find the executable name from Task Manager/Processes, drop .exe part, type it into textbox and click add. (AdobeReaderLE.exe -> AdobeReaderLE)
1a- If you want to watch only the active window (so that your battery doesn't drain if you minimize the whitelist app) Find the window title of the application (Either task manager/applications or just look at the title if it is not hidden) and insert it as above. (Adobe Reader LE this time) you can have both versions live together. There is one limitation to active application watching though, if the application doesn't report a window title in task manager, you can only background watch it. (e.g. htcreader)
2- if you want to remove a certain app, select its name and click remove button.
3- if you want to have KeepAwake open but still not active (to force into standby) click stop.
4- this app autostarts with each boot, if you don't like it, delete the shortcut under \Windows\Startup\KeepAwake.lnk
5- this app starts minimized. if you want to configure settings, select the icon one more time or switch to it using a task manager.
6- if you click quit, obviously the software quits and no more monitoring is done, so click X after configuring if you want it to monitor your apps.
7- if you want to turn off screen and lock keys (for listening to music maybe) you can click the lock button. If your app is running, the phone will still stay awake.
Tips:
1- You can map KeepAwake to a hardware button for easy access and screen locking.

Thanks goes to Frank T. van de Ven for ProcessCE library.
Thanks a lot to DaveShaw for letting me use xdaShutdown application.
I'm pretty excited about this... I've been looking for something exactly like this to prevent specific standby times.
I hope it works with most of the applications I have in mind.
Any bugs? Would you guys find it useful to have a lock button so that it turns off the screen and locks keys but still keeps the device awake? I have implemented this for the latest version I'm using (to have my GPS logger going but preventing accidental touch on screen and keys.) Or is it better to keep it simple?
Will this also prevent Windows MSN not to idle which will cause lost connection too?
Sorry, I'm new to the WinMo scene, just saw this on Pocketnews. Let me get this straight, will this work for apps that run in the bg that don't close out IE:
Facebook
Google Maps
Email
Albums
etc.?
because they slow down my phone, I want to close them out completely, not run them in the background so they can take up valuable resources.

I haven't specifically tried MSN app, but I see no reason it shouldn't work.

I think you need a task manager so that you can close apps. This one is for making certain apps prevent the phone go standby.

I haven't given this a try yet, but any more additions are welcomed! This is something I've been looking for. I think it might be nice to give a way to put settings per application for standby perhaps (like some applications don't let the device go to stand by for 3 minutes, others are like 30 miuntes, etc). I think having't the screen off is a good addition, but keeping the device working is good, so things like voice recorder can work without having the screen on.
Seems to work well for IM services.
I haven't tested it completely for Opera and internet-browsing programs.
Nevertheless, this is a great idea.
new version is up..
What about on option... KEEP IT ON ? (Like LOCK)
This option would simply keep the phone ON, if the application is running in background even if we haven't listed anything
Is it possible? Maybe it's already included?
Thank you
Great app !
It doesn't work on my HD2. Youtube is running and my device locks and stops YT...
Any ideas??

I thought about that but later decided that not many people would find it useful. if enough request comes, I will add it. In the meantime, you might just add an always running app like device or cprog into list manually when you want to keep it on always. or just minimize an app in the whitelist

that's odd. I just tried and Youtube keeps itself open while playing a video for me even without this app. (Locks on the search screen) But still, KeepAwake seems to detect it when it is running. After installing have you clicked on the icon to run KeepAwake? Then minimized it by clicking on X? Have you tried another app, like Adobe Reader for instance? Is youtube minimized or active?
Hi,
Will this application disable lock option on device while using some application - eg. iGO Navigation?
Thanks

as long as you don't lock it yourself, yes, it won't be locked.
Very nice app...much thanks!
The app works for eReader on my Omni II running 6.3 One word of caution I have the x= app closed option turned on so the x shuts down keepAwake. It took me some time to figure out I was closing the app not minimizing it.
How would I go about disabling the standby while in a call? What's the name of the application I need to put in there? I'd like to use it so the sleep during call doesn't stop the call recording utility from working, but I still would like the screen turning off when keeping the phone at the ear.
Doesn't work on touch pro2
The software breaks error when we try to add software to the list, only with the program in background it goes to sleep anyways. It's a good idea, but not there yet...
Hi does anyone know of a better task manager which is available to select at the top of the main screen all the time, other than Arkswitch, lots of times now it crashes my phone and doesnt shut things down and completely locked me out of certain areas of my phone, or does anyone know where i can get the task manager which resides in the notifications menu when you click on the clock, ive seen it on certain roms but i would really like the cab.

Hi all,
I have a very basic query about android's general working. Please let me know if this is not the correct section to discuss this.
I read somewhere that apps do not exit in android and they go into inactive mode. I have a query here: It definitely eases the way to switching between the apps, however, doesn't it consumes more power in this case?
Basically, the discussion is about whether Task Managers are good or not?
Personally, I need to charge battery more frequently after uninstalling Automatic Task Killer from my phone. I am using Galaxy 3 with stock Android 2.1
Does anyone have this experience?
Generally apps running in the background don't consume any battery. Or consume very little if they're waiting on some event (i.e.to notify you of incoming message, etc.) And killing the app is counter productive because they'll usually restart themselves.
Apps that sync periodically are the ones that can consume battery if they're set to sync too often. Your task killer may have been stopping some of the syncing.

IMO task managers are not very useful. Android has it's own memory manager built in that will free up memory when needed. Here's a pretty good article discussing the matter.
http://androinica.com/2010/05/googl...-imply-task-killermanager-apps-are-pointless/
Personally, I try to control which apps are running in the background myself through the use of the home and back buttons. When you press the home button, the app remains in the background, able to be activated again quickly. If you press the back button, the app will exit and no longer be running (in rare cases, apps will take control of the back button so I can't say this happens for EVERY app). I almost always back out of programs, unless I know I'll be using it again soon. Hope this helps!
@ zeddicus225 - Yes. That Helps. Thanks.
@ rigman - Can you please explain, what you mean to say by "they'll usually restart themselves"?
How is this possible...please give an example for this where there is no application that sync itself and restart itself?
Also, I started this thread as my phone was getting slower irrespective of closing of all the apps by using Back button. Is there any solution or check for this?

Yes, turn it off and on again android memory management is rarely up to scratch
Hey Pulser,
Can you please explain, how the applications restart themselves in android?
I have heard it in many places.
Can anyone please reply to this?

Is there anyone here to reply to this? Is this sucha hard query to reply?
Is anyone else having this issue/know a fix? All the apps in the app switcher show up as blank boxes with just the name above it, even the app I'm in when I open the switcher shows an animation then goes blank.
G955U1 on AQE3 firmware, no package disablers
Could this be anything to do with Samsung's aggressive RAM management?
Is this an actual issue or is this how its supposed to be?

No, you are supposed to see app screen.
See screenshot.
Are you not using power saving?
Bottom line it's not supposed
to look like that.
It looks like a reboot fixed it for now.

Yes, i also found at times, that a device reboot
sometimes, can "solved" issues.!
Good luck
Thought it was just me. I also noticed sometime my home screen has a clear navigation bar, and sometimes it's black, or white. I think it's memory management.
Yeah, I've noticed that I only get this issue when I go into multi window. I don't know how I can fix this without just not using multi window.
