[Q] Connection unavailable. Tasker? - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
interesting thing during my test of battery tonight (although it happend only once yet). I woke up (sync off for the night) and I saw I had no data connection (2G). Trying to manually sync didnt help, RestartConnections app didnt help, manually turning mobile data off and on didnt help, even restart didnt help. Then, after few minutes after the restart, I enabled autosync and it did successfully "push thru", E icon appeared near the signal bar and connection was there. Weird. I had Nexus S for few months now and it never happened.
Also, I was using Tasker to manually enable autosync for 2 minutes every 15 minutes and check for wifi every 15+3 minutes (so it wont interefere with the sync). But syncs went ok and no profile of mine has to do anything with mobile data. So I dont believe its relevant.
I woulndt be probably speaking about this but I use the same nandroid backup rom for all my testing (I restore it during the evening so the battery tests would all begin with the same software combination) and this never happened.

Data Connection Breaks after a few hours

Heya,
Asking if anyone has had the issue where the data connection refuses to connect untill I turn off/on the phone radio (using com manager) then itll connect just fine again.
I suspect its somthing to do with active sync, as I sync every hour, and every 2 hours in windows live sync . so after say a few hours from a reset I can not 'dial' to use the internet, with the message saying answer modem disconnected, id do my fix, then another few hours itll break again.
As you can understand its quite annoying.
On o2 uk 3G with unlimited web if its provider specific.
And Im using advance config to automaticly disconnect if no program is using the internet.

No Wifi and no data, phone will hang?

Hi,
This is a newbie question. I don't have a data plan. If I turn off Wifi (and background data sync is off too), the phone will hang randomly in 4 or 5 hours (till the battery is dead, or I remove and reinsert the battery). I am assuming it's some app (maybe a weather widget or something else) that keeps trying to connect to some server and hangs the phone. Do I have this right? It doesn't happen if Wifi is on. Is this a common issue with android?
If that is it, is there a simple solution? I would like a simple solution such as no app/widget can attempt internet connection once I turn off wifi.
thanks
Rooting it a d installing Droidwall (firewall) fixed my issues.

[Q] HTC Desire S Sleeping Mode Problem

Hello everyone,
I'm using HTC Desire S (Android 2.3.3). I've been having a weird problem lately. When my screen goes off, I stop getting notifications after 10 minutes or so. I've never experienced such a problem before. My phone was running smoothly. I used to get notifications from Whatsapp even when my phone was on sleeping mode... I started not to get notifications from any application unless I turn the screen on and wait for 5 minutes or directly click on the application wait for it to establish connection with my mobile data. I guess my mobile data dies when my phone is on sleeping mode or something. I'm not sure though because my mobile data connection is always on but somehow applications lose connection with my mobile data until my phone wakes up. Can you help me with that? I've installed an application called Juice Defender awhile ago but I deleted it since it messed up my phone. I also tried to reset my phone but still no luck... Is there anything I can do?
Thanks
do you use "Juice Defender" ?
if so, try to disable it... i had the same problem (with other device... not the Desire S) and it been solved by disabling "Juice Defender"
Not sure what could be causing that if it persists after a factory reset.
Have you looked at using Tasker instead of juice defender? I also found juice defender quite buggy, and it was in searching for an alternative that I found tasker. I think it has a free trial period. Instal a plugin called synker. Your can then set tasker to periodically force a sync of your accounts. My profile forces a sync for
2 minutes every 15 minutes, then turns auto sync off (if my screen is off). Works well and saves battery too.
Taker is quite tricky to get used to, so if you struggle, get those two installed then send me a PM and I'll send you the tasker profile. Import it and your problem will be solved!
Sent from my HTC Desire S using xda premium
ive had a simaliar issue
wifi and data go off randomly when in sleep mode
im on stock 2.3.5 and not rooted
no juicedefender apps
On my DS after the phone is left asleep overnight - I never turn it off as it's my alarm clock - I frequently get "NO SERVICE" and have to reboot.
Never got to the bottom of it either....

[Q] Most energy efficient way of synching Sony SmartWatch?

I bought a Sony Smartwatch one week ago and I am using it with an HTC One X. I installed Twitter and RSS on it. I configured both apps to sync every 15 minutes. I noticed that new tweets did not appear on my watch so I went to look what the problem was. I saw that the data connection was not active. I thought it was Juice Defender that did that so I disabled JD.
Tried again, still no luck. Data connection was gone again. I found the problem; it was the power saver mode from the One X that was activated. I deactivated it and the tweets started flowing in, and synching took place every 15 minutes without any problems at all. But... the battery of my One X was getting drained like crazy. So I had to turn off the data connection.
I've now been searching for days to find the most energy efficient way to still get new tweets on my watch every 15 minutes without having a dead battery after a few hours. What I basically need to find is a way for the One X to activate the data connection, sync all SmartWatch apps and then turn off the connection again.
I tried configuring Juice Defender to activate the data connection every 15 minutes for 1 minute. I thought that the SmartWatch app would synchronize as soon as Juice Defender would activate the data connection but this was not the case. Apparently the SmartWatch app tries to sync exactly every 15 minutes and when it fails, it doesn't wait for the data connection to get activated. It just gives up and waits another 15 minutes instead of waiting until there's an active data connection. That's quite lame actually, and I don't understand why Sony didn't think about that.
I don't have anymore ideas as to what I can do now... Anyone here who has the solution I'm looking for? I really like the watch and it would be awesome if I'd find a great solution to this problem I'm having. In the meantime, I'm just synching the apps manually on my phone every now and then.
Well the solution would be to have the data connection activate in the 14th minute, and drop in the 16th. You could also use Tasker, which could activate the data connection a few seconds before twitter updates, and end shortly after (maybe 15-30 seconds after it starts.)

Nexus 5 WiFi Crashing Phone

Hi all. I have a weird issue that after Googling it doesn't seem anyone else has had.
The issue started earlier today, in the morning. I was using my phone on the WiFi and it was working phone, then my phone crashed, restarted itself.
I noticed it wasn't connected to the WiFi, went to the WiFi settings and where it usually says the list of networks it said "Turning on WiFi" and the slider at the top was greyed out so I couldn't turn it off.
I tried airplane mode and that didn't help. But the phone was working fine on my mobile data so restarted.
Now the weirder part starts. I basically have an issue where, if I turn on the WiFi, my phone crashes, or doesn't act like it's turning the WiFi on.
Even going Settings and then pressing on the WiFi option freezes the phone.
The problem started when I was still using 4.4.4 however since the problem developed I've used my mobile data to download the updates and now have 5.1.1 I think.
The problem persists even after updating to the most recent version and doing a factory restore. The phone is currently completely stock with nothing downloaded on to it. All I did is go through the first time setup for the device.
The WiFi currently is off, and the phone is working however it won't connect to my data, it has the signal bars and then an ! instead of a 4G icon.
If I try to turn the WiFi on it crashes the phone.
The phone is still under warranty so I plan on contacting LG on Monday however it's currently 3:34 AM on a Sunday so I have a day until I can call them and was hoping for a solution in that time.
Thanks in advance. I have the phone to hand so anything you want me to test I'm able to.
There is some information I didn't type as I don't know what is important was trying to avoid a wall of text so if you have any more questions I'll answer I best I can.
Thanks for reading, I hope you can help!
