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

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

Checkmark under the H+ icon?

What does that indicate?

Are you on wifi?

Yeah. Is that what it indicates? Ha I'm sorry I was just wondering.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA Premium App

Yes I THINK it means its holding off of it cause your on wifi and once you get off of wifi it goes away.

check mark means no mobile data, which could mean wifi on or mobile data off for some reason

Yes that's what it means. I had to call ATT to get it fixed because of my imei. Try turning mobile data on in settings.

I thought H plus a check below it meant that you were in an area where H+ is available to the user.

how do i get my internet access

Connect to 3G Only?

Is there a way to manually set to 3G only even with a 4G signal available?

There is an app in the market called phone info that will allow you to do this just set it to cdma(auto)

Why use an app? I can set this in the Phone Settings menu!

Not in an hd maxx you can't

And dialing *#*#4636#*#* ? This opens it on all Android normally.

Yes that works but it's a lot easier to do in settings if it were only there! I assume you have the non-HD model?

Yes that is correct, I use the menu but my 4G battery is surprising

[Q] APN settings for Simple Mobile

Tried searching and could not find any settings that worked for me. On my N4 I used what is on the simple mobile site and I had internet but no mms. Now I cant even seem to get the internet to work. I have tried different settings I found online but none seem to work for my N5. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

Confirmed working on simple mobile.
Make sure you select simple mobile network from available network.

Quick update. Switched to 3g and data is faster. May just be my area.

3g lock with native hotspot mod

Sent from my SM-G900P using XDA Free mobile app

I recent rooted/unlocked native hotspot on S5. Worked great then LTE/spark disappeared and now its stuck on 3g. However I go 15 miles away and it works. Then when I get near my house it switches back to 3g. Is this a network tower issue /update or a root issue? Please help.

Just updated the mod, it no longer modifies the APN, try it out and see if it helps.
