what do you mean by clear the gps? my guess would be to turn it off and then back on or hard reset your phone. using wireless networks might help speed up finding your location too (if it isn't already on)

Green Power Compatibility with Nexus S?

Hi people,
Recently went to the market, and I tried downloading Green Power. It claimed to be able to work with 2.3.3
However, I don't see it toggling 3G automatically.
Has anyone managed to get it working?

If you are connected to a wireless network the app doesn't use your data connection. Try running the app with your wireless off or turn off your router. You'll see it working then.

Huh I thought the main objective of the app is to turn off the 3G when its not in use?
What's the point of turning off the wifi or router?

I use an app called "Network Switcher" which seems to work well on my Nexus S

On 2.3.2 still waiting for 2.3.3
Just tried network switcher ... sometimes it doesn't return me 3G connection ..

I got this yesterday it does switch off the 3g so I think its been working. Although there were a few times when I switch RH screen on and off too quickly that it takes 10 seconds o so before 3g comes back
So far its been good using greenpower can update later

The reason I said to turn off wifi/router was so he could see if the app was turning on/off his 3g connection properly; that being his question

Alright its been a few days and I can safely say that green power is working out awesome for me
If I just leave the phone alone it last a lot longer I'd estimate it to using around 10-20% battery judging by the percentage reported by the phone

how many accounts to do you have sync'd to the phone? gmail, facebook, sense (etc)
and do you have the networks and locations all checked, for navigation etc.
I Didnt have the VZW location checked just standalone and Google I took standalone off and checked VZW is that right or should I have all 3??
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA Premium App
You can use whatever you want. I leave google location services enabled and then I enable standalone gps whenever I need it (ie. Navigation, maps, etc.)
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
Ok so I can turn the vzw one off to?
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA Premium App
you can turn them all off, just back on if you need navigation.
Oooo ok thanks!

pretty sure that shouldnt be draining the battery like that. check the accounts that are set to sync on your phone (gmail, facebook) and see the interval that each is set to refresh.
It was set to 1hr I switched it to 4 maybe that should help

And my weather was set at 15mins switched it to 2 he's

so all you have syncing is gmail and weather?
I had to turn everything off, message stopped.

[Q] Wi-Fi won't turn off

After turning off my wifi, the battery stats show that I still have it running, when in reality it shouldn't. It shows that it's off in the settings menu but the wifi bar in the battery stats says it's on. Does anyone know why this is happening?

Like this for example.

Yep. Introduced in 4.3 WiFi will stay on to help with location. When it's turned "off" it just means it won't connect.
You can turn this feature off in WiFi > advanced > scanning always available.

Nexus 5 3G connection hangs

Hello, sometimes I have this problem that I randomly can't use 3G data. The 3G icon is still grey (if there's no data its brown), but nothing that requires internet works. Also, the two small arrows near the 3G icon show me that no download is taking place (no down pointing arrow) and only upload arrow is active. Does anyone else have/had this kind of problem?

Same problem here
It could be the APN? Does LTE or Edge work?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app
It happens randomly, I am not willing to test the crawling EDGE and I don't have LTE either. I'll add that my previous phone didn't have this issue.

I had a nexus 4 that cut out and bars went at my mates, a 3 blackspot. My Nexus 5 shows bars but looses data and sometimes says I need to insert a working sim and reboot. None of this happens at home. It's like the phone has a breakdown with a weak signal!
