[Q] What is a Hot Restart?

anything different from NORMAL RESTART?

It is a faster restart that skips powering off the phone and just goes straight to the boot screen.

[REQ] wireless network manager that works

Has anybody had any luck with wireless network connection managers on the Charge? I used Green Power on the Fascinate, but it doesn't seem to work here. Even if I have 4G disabled, data will not turn on when the phone wakes up. Active data when the phone is sleeping is killing my battery.

Are you talking about wifi? If so then you can set it to turn off when the phone is asleep. Settings-wifi settings-advanced settings.
If you're talking about 3g/4G data then I guess you'd just toggle it on and off via the pull down switch?

I'm mostly talking about the 3G/4G data. I manually toggle wifi when I'm at home, and have it off when I'm out. Green Power did a good job managing the mobile data while the phone was sleeping, but it's not working well on the Charge. It will turn the data off after the screen turns off, but it won't turn back on when the phone is unlocked. I'm trying Juice Defender, bit so far, I'm not sure if it is working, since the free version doesn't have too many custom settings.
*update* JD isn't working for me. Mobile data was still on while the screen was off for at least 10 minutes. uninstalled. I'll keep trying. */update*
I have also noticed that this phone does not sleep when it's charging, it locks in at 100 MHz when the phone should be sleeping (never saw this on the Fascinate). I'm running PBJ_voodoo under stock rooted rom.

So it puts in like airplane mode when sleeping, Pretty slick.
I would still go into your wireless settings to have your wifi turn off when at sleep for when you're at home. It saved me a ton of battery at the house and that feature is not available for most phones.

Somewhat like airplane mode, except only for mobile data, voice signal stays active.

I can confirm that both Green power and JD do not work for data control...well JD does sorta...it will turn the 4G off and on but it will have issues turning it back on if it changed to 3g..there is a mode that you can highlight if it has troubles re engaging the data but it takes a few minutes and then it totally resets the connection including the phone service...at least thats what happened for me. Both control the wifi fine though. I have yet to find a service that can control the 4g consistently but I would like one

WTF?!? I live just outside of an LTE zone, so I have my network set to CDMA. I've gone all day with data turned off, and battery is still at 30% (16.5 hours since unplugged). I've switched the data on a couple times during the day, but only for short periods, which is what these apps are supposed to do. It just sucks that they don't work. Even on a good day with the fascinate, I never got close to this kind of battery. *sigh*

Not aware of anyway to switch to 3G only, but I know gingerbread has an option for hspa/GSM and GSM only mode. I just use a different apn to access atts hspa+ only network, gets me around throttling. Running sky ics ucle2

Yeah thanks, just came from captivate with slim ics, and it had that option to turn off 3g. Just hope there is way to turn it off to save some battery

Use seans sky ics rom, incredible battery life. TIP: Some dont know this, but if you go into wifi where it shows what access points are in reach, hit menu and an advanced menu will pop up. Tell wifi to only stay on while charging.
If i am on wifi and pocket the phone, wifi will turn off while sleeping, it will still use cell data though, but saves battery big time while sleeping. I have had the skyrocket for a few months now and I am pretty normal to heavy user and I can easily get a whole day. 16 hours+ with data on at all times.
The sky ICS rom does allow you to tuen data off completley within the 15 toggle mod that is baked into the rom.

Yeah that's the rom I'm using, but I was just wondering if I can have data on but lte and 3g off, thanks for trying to help anyways

Tests have shown that the LTE radio is on even if using a different APN or 3G Only mode (Rogers GB)

Can S3 lock on gps while in airplane mode

I wanted to start jogging but dont know whats the best way to run a jogging tracker on gps while trying to save battery. Can i put it on 3g and then in airplane mode or 4g in airplane mode? Will the gps lock on. Does the s3 even lock on while in airplane mode?

Once you put the phone in airplane mode you can turn on individual radios as you please. (gps, 3g/4g, cdma, bluetooth)

forgive my ignorance, but I thought the initial gps lock needed some kind of data connection????

It doesn't. I enabled gps on my ship the last time we went out a couple weeks ago and it locked on to me in the middle of the ocean

That would just be to inject AGPS data and then use a data connection for assisted global positioning.
It's not necessary, but certainly faster. The gps satellites can only send a signal every 6 seconds, and to build your location table will take several minutes without AGPS - opposed to seconds with.

Thanks for the education

3g/4g can not be toggled on once Airplane has been activated. Everything else in your post is true, btw Wi-Fi works too.

4g comes on right after I turn it off

So recently when I pull down my notification bar to turn off my 4g it sometimes will turn on again and then I can press it and it will officially turn off. It will turn on almost right after I turn it off. The notification that 4g is on even goes off when I press it the first time.
Edit1: also my wifi will sometimes turn on while using 4g mostly when browsing youtube
