When I use juicedefender's disable mobile data widget, the 3g icon goes away but I can still browse the internet. Is it not working?

im confused on what you're asking for?
are you looking for a app that turns off 3G?
I don´t know if it is what you´re looking for, but I use APN On/Off widget - https://market.android.com/details?id=net.maicas.android.apnoo&feature=search_result
juice defender should still work and turn off the data connection. or you can use the enhanced power widget on cyanogen ROM.
Am I the only one that can not send/receive attachments while on wifi? Whenever I attempt it just hangs, regardless of what modem I flash, I am forced to resend/re-download after I reconnect to data. I'm currently on anton's 1.1.0 ROM(with the kernel he included)

With how MMS works you have to be on mobile data to download them. I have never been able to download a mms while on just wifi.
Like any stock carriers SMS service you don't need mobile data or wifi to send and receive messages, I believe they are sent over the background just by being connected to said carries network. Is there an app or is it feasible to send SMS over the network without charging me? I only get 200 messages/month and I currently use text plus and its a battery sipper. I hate the fact I also need power hungry 4g enabled on my phone just to get my messages. Any help? Thanks

Who is your carrier? Pretty sure you do not need 4G (or any data) to send/retrieve SMS, only MMS.
You can disable your 4G data to save battery power, but you can still get/make calls and send/retrieve SMS. I personally use a data on/off widget that I place on my home screen, which makes it real easy to turn on/off the data to save the battery. I only turn it on when I need to use the internet in some way (or for MMS). It's called Data ON-OFF by Antonio La Rocca. It's free, very simple and works great (widget even looks good and has a few skin options).
Or you can simply go into your settings to disable 4G/3G data manually. Settings -> Wireless and network -> Mobile networks -> and uncheck "Use packet data". This will leave only the basic connection to your carrier for calls and SMS. You will still get a prompt for MMS, but you will need to enable the data to download/view it.
I have yet to see one that provides true free txt, all i have seen require the use of data, so being near a wifi hotspot or enabling your data seems to be the only way to go, would be interesting to know if there is an actual free sms service without the use of data.
I know that I can use att SMS. I'm talking about a 3rd party app

So when the phone boots up, I have 4G connectivity. When I decide to turn on my Wi-Fi, use it for a little bit and then turn it off...I don't have any data. Data is on and I try toggling airplane mode as well. I just have bars for calls and sms. No data for surfing the web and etc.
Has anyone gone through this?
Happens on other ROMs for me as well.
What are your settings under mobile network settings network mode, system select and CDMA subscription?

On lollipop i could edit settings.db and change my hotspot gateway. I recently moved to marshmallow and those settings no longer exist there. Where are they now??
