Can they activate GPS if they are turned off? I thought I read it could somewhere but I don't remember.
Anyone??????

Thanks... I didn't ask how to do it as I already have installed MD as a system app. But what happens if GPS is off and I execute... Does it just turn it on? Is there a setting? Does it turn it back off? Etc.

Sorry, yes it has access to turn on GPS if it's installed as a system app.
only downside is you have to reinstall each time you upgrade your ROM
Hmmm... I guess if MD leaves it on, you could activate with MD and then use WaveSecure? Or can WS activate GPS as well?

Hey,
i noticed that my phone is longer active than i use it

Because you enabled Background Data and auto-sync - nothing to worry.

Backgroud data = yes
Auto-sync = no
thats my settings since i have the phone ^^ but now it won't sleep anymore
Exchange ActivePush keeps the phone active, Latitude too. You could use the App Process Monitor, but everything looks perfectly normal.
oh, maybe i should mention that my mobile data is always off...
the phone is offline and tries to sync?
Ok, that is wierd.
You could try Process Monitor Widget from the Market to record processes running on your phone.
Its hard to tell what Process keeps your phone running.

I know you said you have mobile data turned off ...but like ItsDace has mentioned earlier - could you try logging out of / disabling Google Latitude?
it worked well in extending my battery's life.
edit: on a closer look - your mobile data does not seem to be off ... the screenshot you gave shows 'green' icons for 3G... meaning you are connected to google services over data network?
thx, i will try!

UPDATE: There is an app in the play store called 'Advanced Wifi Lock (Free)' which fixes this problem and DOES NOT need root
ossy1337 said:
Some (or maybe the most) users reported that the phone loses wifi signal after a few minutes in standby. I probably found a way to fix this. All you need to do is:
5. change the line 'gEnableSuspend=3' to 'gEnableSuspent=1'
PS: Keep in mind that unlocking the bootloader using htcdev will most likely void or at least constrain your warranty

Are you sure about the gEnableSuspenT (changing d to t)?

Update in post 1, no root required!
Yeah I found out about the wifi lock issue when I got my sony tablet, advanced wifi lock is the perfect solution!
for me the wifi lock causes very low standby hours. anyone having the same issue?
If I did not misunderstand what you mean by WiFi shutdown, there is an option in WiFi setting which keeps WiFi on even phone is in sleep mode (standby).
Go to:
WiFi list, menu, advanced, keep WiFi on during sleep, select always.
No 3rd party app needed.

That's exactly why this thread exist...
the 'keep on' function doesn't work for some users.

OK, if that's the case, ignore my post then, but I did not really see any where mentioning the "keep one" function not working in this thread, so had no idea... maybe good to add it somewhere just to avoid further confusion
By the way, the "keep on" function works fine for me, so maybe something to do with the router? or wifi band (802.11a/b/n)?

Have been looking for this solution awhile... finally found something that is useful!!! Thanks a lot!!!
This app causes massive battery drain. For me, I updated my device with ics ruu and this problem was gone, but a week ago when I did a factory reset the problem reappeared.

Thanks for sharing. I would've tried it out if it weren't for the fact that my current rom has no problems with wifi connectivity at all.
However, I will keep this app in mind just in case .
So at work I have ZERO cell signal inside. The building is metal, the windows tinted with metallic tint. Cell Standby is raping my battery, is there any way to automatically disable and then enable the cell radio when I connect/disconnect to work WiFi?
I've tried this in tasker and trigger and it wasn't supported! Currently running cataclysm ROM but its smart radio feature cannot disable cell radio but only switch from LTE to 2g/3g.
There must be a way to do this automatically. Doing it manually is too risky if I forget even once to re-enable it.
You can use dpad buttons in tasker to do it.

I don't know about any phone settings, but if you can't find one, you can always pop out the SIM card hehe. It won't bother looking for a cell connection, but wifi will still be fine.
You can maybe install NFC chips in the car and at work (if your boss let's you to signal the phone on and off for the network.

AutomateIt with location trigger?

Any automation program will do. Llama is free and easy to use, Tasker is more advanced.
Still cannot get tasker to do this, even with secure settings and helper installed.

I think Juice defender has the ability to do this, it detects that your connected to "a network" and you can automate it to do various things. I think.........
I use Automateit and it works as expected.

I don't NEED it but I'd like it to automatically turn airplane mode off for cell radio when I leave work. If I forgot to do it myself once then people couldn't reach me at all.
Still this doesn't interfere with the main problem, disabling cell radio has an error message and does nothing.

I mean, won't Airplane Mode turn off automatically when the Wifi connection is lost? Because I've had exit tasks screw up my profiles before, and it turned out I didn't even need them.

Try the alternative Helper?
Also, why do you turn on and off airplane mode?

I thought I'd start this thread to raise awareness and stop some confusion. It looks like there is a bug in Android Lollipop where under certain circumstances, the battery chart/graph always shows WiFi was on even though it was switched off. This is with "scanning always available" set to OFF of course.
A google code bug has been submitted for this: https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=81501&colspec=ID Type Status Owner Summary Stars
What I've found reproduces the problem:
1) Make sure "WiFi scanning always available" is OFF.
2) Connect to a WiFi access point.
3) Physically leave that area of the access point so that the WiFi disconnects because you've gone out of range.
4) Disable WiFi from the settings.
5) Observe the battery chart will continue to show WiFi on, forever, until you re-enable WiFi, reconnect to another WiFi access point, and then disable WiFi.
This hasn't been fixed in 5.1 :'(
No issue here and I manage my WiFi manually. So my question is: do you manually manage your WiFi or do you use an app or a rom feature based on profiles, hours,...?

Thanks for confirming. Yea pretty annoying how they won't fix such simple bugs, thought for sure this would be gone in 5.1.

Yeup it's a visual glitch with the battery graph. As OP said it only happens if you disable the WiFi once leaving the WiFi network area, if you disable it while still connected it shows as off properly in the graph.
Any fix has been found for this bug? Because I'm on Chroma 5.1.1 and this still occurs.

As title says, the function of enabling/diasbling wifi near home simply does nothing. Any hint, please?
Do you have location services enabled?
Yes
Do you need wifi scanning enabled?

Yes you do.
I have this enabled, too. No differences.
After hard reset, I still experience this problem. Is a passcode mandatory for wifi? I use jus MAC filtering.
