Hi everyone
I'm on stock 2.3.5
Not rooted
Happens a lot, mobile data is on, but it randomly switches off in sleep?
Anyone experience this?
As soon as I wake the phone with the power button it comes on again?
Help please

make sure you go to Settings > Wireless & networks > Mobile networks > Network Mode > and choose wcdma / gsm auto.
otherwise blame your carrier coverage
I would try enabling mobile data to always-on first before blaming network provider.
It may consume more battery though.

I usually used wifi at home/ company, rarely use 3G, so I used to turn it off by using APNdroid.
Today I needed to search something online so I turned my 3G on by using APNdroid. The 3G icon didn't show up. It didn't work even I switched on the "data roaming" in setting, reboot, switch to airplane mode then switch back.....
Anybody can give me some advice?
I'll second this for the battery savings

With APNDroid in the "on" mode, check your APN settings in Wireless Settings > Moblie Networks > Access Point Names. If there is nothing there, try Menu > Restore Defaults.

So you can't turn off data.... if you just want to use wifi at home for example?

You can turn data on and off. There is actually an HTC widget that toggles data on and off.
Go to the market there is an app that you can use to toggle on stock rom. Just search 3G.

try *#*#4636#*#*
any1 have a shortcut or app for it?
Just uncheck "Mobile Network" under Wireless and Network in Settings.
I'm pretty sure my 3g/4g has yet to be turned on lol

I found a way to turn off 3g/4g and have Edge enabled by going to Settings > Wireless & Networks > Mobile Networks > Network Mode > here you can toggle from WCDMA Only; GSM Only; GSM/WCDMA Auto (default). Selecting GSM Only switching my connection to Edge. How can we create a shortcut/toggle for this option?

There is no such option on the Inspire 4g.
*#*#4636#*#* is the option. Dial it. Go to phone. Scroll down. Select gsm only.

Does it really work ?
Yes. I use it to keep mine on gsm. I also used the stock widget to keep data turned off
Turning off 4G speed is easy. Turn on the phone, it doesn't exist
Sorry, couldn't resist.

in cm7 theres a widget where you can turn off 3g and switch to 2g, is included in the power settings widget, any chance on getting it while using sense?
How do you turn off something that has not even been turned on?

Using: *#*#4636#*#*
Then selecting GSM does not work for me..still reverts back to 3G "H+)
Any other suggestions? Do I have to root to get access to all the grayed out network options?
Thanks
I bought an unlocked G2x yesterday. I'm not using any of the Cellular related features. How can i turn them off? (Not airplane mode, that also turns off WiFi)
I also put in a random prepaid phone sim to remove the "Insert SIM" notification
I want this phone to look normal. but use only wifi. Because theres wifi everywhere and I can get free wifi calling.
I don't think it will make any difference in battery life weather data is turned off or the SIM is just not present. I think there are ROMs for the G2x that allow data to be toggled but I'm not sure.
If you're talking about T-Mo's wifi calling then you need an active T-Mo SIM to make it work.

You can disable mobile data from
setting > wireless & network setting > mobile network setting > Data enable
As long as you are within wifi range and connected it should by default disable mobile data.
You can try going to dialer, dial *#*#INFO#*#*
Phone Info
(scroll down)
"turn off radio"
YMMV though

This.
This is the only way to achieve what you are asking, toggling mobile data still leaves the cell radio active. I do not know if wifi calling will work with the radio completely off though. Try it out and report back, I'm interested to know.

I just followed that, wifi is still connected.
But this is what i mean
see "Cell Standby" and a completely different section "WiFi"
Airplane mode does turn off your wifi but try turning wifi back on. Works on cm7 at least...

so i live in an area that has some 4g coverage and while driving around town or sitting at work (which has spotty signaling because of the building) my phone is constantly searching for 4g. is there way to turn that off and just use 3g until 4g is turned on everywhere? i think it is causing some major battery drainage. thanks!
Go to Settings > Wireless & Networks > Mobile Networks > System Selection
Choose CMDA/Auto

ok thanks! ill see if this helps..
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?
