[Solved-Maybe]Intermittent awake issues? First time. - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've never seen the 'awake' bar look like this. Can anyone explain, is it the wifi? There is nothing out of the ordinary under running services and most of the info on the battery use screen was from this morning, while I was asleep.
Edit: pretty certain it was google backup transport. The 'back up my data' option was selected from a restore I had done. And I was on wifi during the suspicious activity. Made the necessary adjustments, testing now but so far it looks good.

i always disable backup transport when i install the new rom, you should try too. backup transport bounded with android system so you can't watch excatly itself alone because of this.

It's gone. Even went as far as deleting it. However, this morning I think I determined that its the wifi that was giving me the strange 'awake' bar.

Data symbol

Anyone else noticing the data symbol (h+) staying on even when connected to wifi?
Just curious... I'm running infused 1.4

I'm able to hide it again by putting it in airplane mode and then back, but it's not ideal
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA App
itll sometimes reconnect to data. not sure whats making it do that but its not actually transmitting. dunno.
Probably because it is still connected to the network, att needs to keep tabs on you. Plus your calls/text are never coming over wifi (going into airplane mode means you don't get those)
Mine will pop up here and there but I'm guessing it's just checking syncs in the background. I do use the att address book. My data symbol doesn't stay on though when on wifi.

Mine does go back to hiding. Not sure why yours isn't unless you have some odd app that's keeping it open.
Mine does this as well. While I'm on wifi the h+ will come on and sometimes go away, but sometimes it stays on the screen. It doesn't seem to affect anything so I don't worry about it.
Just curious, are you sending or receiving any MMS msgs when this is going on?

Question. Have any of you run stock UCKE3 for any length if time? Wonder if the issue shows up there too. Anyways, sounds like a simple cosmetic issue rather than something serious.
Yes me too. I have never seen that when I am in 1.3.2.

[Q] Data stops until I go in and out of airplane mode, how do I fix this?

Data works great on this phone, except for the fact that several times a day, maybe once every 2 hours, the data connection simply stops working. I can get it back by putting the phone into airplane mode, and then back again, but nothing else works.
If I try to go to a web page when the data is out, I get redirected to some web2go thing telling me I should buy some plan.
In my Mobile Network Settings I have the "Enable always-on mobile data" but don't see anything else that might help fix this.
Anybody have any ideas of what is going on, or better yet how to fix it?
I don't have the answer to your actual question.
However, if you don't want the Web2Go page you can change the User Agent on your browser from Android to Desktop.

I occasionally have the same issue, though mine only seems to do it on the transition from wifi to cellular. Sometimes toggling airplane works, sometimes not. Mine has always done that even stock. Oh, and it still does it even on your rom, undeadk9.
One other issue i've noticed is the wifi calling icon will randomly disappear and come back in about 20 seconds. I've only noticed this on SOC3.6, I don't know if 3.5 had this issue as I was testing virtuous when that was the latest. It hasn't caused any issues like dropped calls yet, but just a concern that it may.

I didn't! I'm behind in the forums and I'm on an old version of your ROM. I'll go look for that and get myself updated to the latest.
Well, it turns out that didn't help. I installed v3.5.0 and v3.6.0 patch and then turned on the data and waited...
An hour or so later it happened again
If I go to the browser on the phone it redirects me to a page that says:

Well someone needs to hurry up and release the source already. Anyone wanna start a donation thread to encourage progress?
Yep..... t-mobile was the problem. Once I got through their first line of support and they opened "something that we call a trouble ticket", things got fixed up nice.
You know if we could nandroid backup our life, do a dalvik-cache wipe, battery stats wipe, we'd be set, except who would do the nandroid restore?

This app messed up my phone

So i tried this app called easy battery saver as an alternative to juice defender, and as soon as i enabled it, the app nuked my data connection. I've tried disabling it and uninstalling it but nothing works.

My Droid Charge/Verizon also had data connection nuked by "easy battery saver" app. There are quite a few postings on various forums of other unfortunates, mostly Droid Charge, but a few LG.
My phone isn't rooted and I don't know how to flash the modem.
Is there anything simpler that can be done? I would prefer not to have to factory reset as the backup apps don't save app settings etc. on non-rooted phones.
Help anyone?

A factory reset brought my data back, so i took the opportunity to install tweakstock. I guess it was a plus in the end.
I think we should all report the app for causing such damage to the phone with no warning whatsoever and no solution. It must suck to have to reset a stock phone.
Sent from my SCH-I510 using XDA App
Expecting that I need to do a factory I bought MyBackup Pro and did a full backup but it seems that without root access the app settings are not saved. Since I didn't relish having to do rooting or factory reset I thought I would give the app developers a chance to do the right thing.
The response has been a series of generic emails pointing me at a new version of the app that do not fix my problem. I am guessing that it simply copies the (dysfunctional) APN it finds on first launch then its reset function simply writes this still dysfunctional setting back. Can't they just provide a simple appto write the correct Verizon APN?
I am not generally a ranting type but it is frustrating that there is no further recourse than just to advertise the serious bug and poor response to this forum. I posted a query also on Charge Forums, is there another good place to post a warning? Or am I just wasting my time?
Oh, and naturally my iPhone friends say "I told you so" just to rub salt in the wound!

I would have preferred it if they outright blacklisted the charge from downloading the app, as well as any phone it also breaks.
Sent from my SCH-I510 using XDA App
Pretty sure its broken my data too, it keeps jumping on and off all day. Will check with my operator that there aren't issues in my area but it was fine over the weekend.
Dug this up from a different forum. Works for sure.
1) Install app called "any cut" on wifi, it allows you to create any shortcut.
2) In the app go to new shortcut > activities> APNs
3) Create shortcut to access APNs (I guess default APN manager) and restore settings. Voila!

App/Widget to show current data traffic?

Is there any app that any of you guys know of that would display the current amount of download/upload that's going in/out of my phone whether it be Data or WIFI? I know speedtest can accomplish this, but the MIUI had it built into the ROM to show the current download speeds on the status bar.
I reverted back to CM10 and I miss that little tool badly.

Might look at Network Speed in the market. Don't know if you want app specifics, though.

That's kinda what I'm looking for. I assume it would be a mod for what I was looking for. Basically a mod that would show: 0.00 KB/s in the status bar, but I don't believe there may be one.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using Tapatalk 2
Interesting idea here for a concept app. It might make more sense to have a basic display in the status bar and more info in the notification tray. This could really be useful for developers monitoring how much data an app uses over time to optimize their app's usage.
Try Network Monitor Mini.
UpDownMeter?
Well, are there any apps that would have a widget? I do like the app(s) you guys have suggested, but it's not exactly what I'm looking for.

But you said you wanted it in the status bar, which the free version does? I haven't seen MIUI so I can't comment on that.
Having said that, I think it prevents deep sleep, so if you like your battery, I wouldn't use it. Still need to verify that though.

Enable gps

Every time i enable GPS i get the confirm box. Can i confirm that bleeping thing and have the phone remember so not to bother me again.
Normally i leave it off but a new ap i downloaded wont work without it enabled.
GPS On ... confirm, GPS On ... confirm, GPS On ... confirm... Use app. Turn off GPS.

You can use the Android Power widget to enable GPS without the confirmation.
Does that turn on all 3 GPSs or just one. Btw what's the difference in the 3.

Assuming this is just because you are on a ROM... just drop the widget where you want it and reboot and the buttons will appear
If you are using Tweakd then the stock widget wont display properly for some reason. On stock it just turns on the Standalone GPS services. You'll need to manually do the VZW and Google service.
then I guess I'm stuck with the phone the way it is. BTW, I thought Tweaked was the only ROM out there for those of us that have the latest OTA. If I am wrong, what are the alternatives?
The GPS toggle in the notification pulldown turns GPS on without the confirmation.

Not the Verizon or Google GPSs.
Just FYI the verizon location service doesn't do anything unless you are using VZ navigator. The google location service is what estimates your location using cell towers and wifi. GPS is the precision location used for satellites.
If you have an app that needs location to work, then see if it needs a rough or exact location. You probably only need to turn one of those on.
I just leave VZW and Google location services on. Yeah maybe they can keep track of my location but their intentions are pretty benign.
