Hello!
Just got my g2x today and i love it. However, when I'm connected to wifi, 4G is on at the same time! When i'm downloading an app, i see the arrows light up which mean its using my 4G data. Anyone have problem with this? I turned it off to prevent using my data for now.
Edit:
Working Solution:
Okay what I was experiencing was Wifi and 4g on at the same time. Also, the wifi doesnt work.
It is due to My Account, however, you cannot delete it.
You must download "Bloat Freezer" Its a buck.
Freeze My Account. Easy to do. I had two My Account installed for some reason so i froze both.
Restarted.
WIFI WORKS!!!
Wifi off, 4g Turns on. Wifi on, 4g turns off.
Ya I had the same issue except I was on 2g. I noticed it was very slow so I disabled and re-enabled wi-fi and it worked fine after that.
Sigh.. now wifi doesn't work. Happened twice already. Works on my Nexus. Its happening to a few people on the T-Mobile forum. Becareful when you buy. Hopefully its software problem... ****ing lg

WIFI
Hello,
When I turn WIFI on and connect to my router, my 4g turns off.
Try turning on WIFI wait for it to connect and then open a browser session.
Works here.

I had this same issue and I found out the cause. First off, if you skip the initial setup and set it up later, you will never fix the issue. Particularly when downloading from the Market. You need to go to Settings/Privacy and do a factory reset and make sure you set up your Google account on the initial setup screen.
Second, make sure that your phone is not using any data before turning wifi on. If it is, let it stabilize for a few moments.
If this does not work, turn on wifi calling. Its better voice quality anyway and you don't get dropped calls.
This is obviously just a software bug that needs a patch to fix. I've seen far worse problems out of the gate with phones than software bugs as small as this.
I did set up my account at initial setup. Internet works on nexus s perfectly. I'm using 4g right now to type this. Lame....

I have actually seen this same problem on my Nexus One many times so I'm not sure this isn't just an Android issue, not a G2x issue.
My cellular data connection disappears when I'm on wifi. I use wifi often and never seen both active. My N1 was the same way.
When I disconnect from wifi, the data has to reconnect. Saves battery I guess.

I have two My Account running also. I'll try to root and freeze it.
Wow the 4G/2G goes off right away after I endtasked My Account, leaving Wifi icon only instead of both. So, it is really the My Account app. Thanks tony.
i second the "my account" advice. i used titanium backup to remove it (i had 2 instances) and wifi seems to be working fine now.
My Account doesn't fix for me. I think it is the Market app. Whenever I have both Wifi/4G, I endtask the Market and the 4G icon disappears right away. 4G icon comes back when I open up Market again.

Market did the same to me, but it stopped after I turned off mobile data and turned it back on. I think the MAIN problem is 'My Account'

I completely removed the My Account through Titanium Backup and still have problem.

Exact same thing happened to me. I exchanged my G2X in-store and powered it up, skipping the setup to make sure everything was working real quick and the Wi-Fi was being wonky until I did a factory reset on it and did the setup.
"My Account" is still running

the reason this does not work for some people is BECAUSE "My Account" (version 1.0)
is still running
even if you Freeze it with Titanium Backup it still runs
"Advanced Task Killer" does not list it so can not be killed with that
and can not be killed in the default android task manager
Bloat Freezer MAY be able to truly Freeze this program but i can not get the program to find out :-(
I'm overdrawn on my bank account right now buying this damn phone
Titanium Backup says it's frozen BUT if you reboot and go into your default task manager you'll see it started up and is running again.. with no way to kill it.
look if you don't believe me
Default task manager:
Settings>Applications>Manage Applications> "click running at the top" >scroll down to "My Account"
see it's running (and you thought TB froze it)
so my question is HOW to fracken kill this program with out paying a dollar. so Titanium Backup can freeze it properly
OR Just kill it
i don't mind killing it every boot if Titanium Backup can not freeze it properly
i just need a way to kill it
My work around solution is to turn on WiFi calling
BUT i don't want to do this
i paid 500+ dollars for this damn phone
i should not have to turn WiFi calling on JUST to run the Market and the web on WiFi
(sometimes it effects web surfing)

Bloat Freezer will work FORSURE. It cost a buck though haha. Maybe you can find another app that will work like bloat freezer

did you check your running apps ?
I'm just wondering if it is listed there
.
I know many Android phones have an option under "Mobile Networks" where you can leave Data "Always On". Similar to Wifi "Never Sleeps". Samsung phones do not seem to have this option (they do have the Wifi equivalent).
The real life application is this: Pandora stops playing songs after the screen is off because data turns off. Anyway to eliminate this problem by leaving data on? I know that will make battery life worse, yes, but I still would like to know if it is an option?
mine plays Pandora even screen is off, maybe you have "juice defender" installed?

Mine keeps playing on wifi and network if the screen turns off also. Check your settings in pandora.
Juice Defender is not installed. (It was but then uninstalled awhile back)
Also, the song will finish when screen is off (because of the Buffer)... the problem is when it tries to start the next song... nothing.
In Pandora, outside of the Auto-Lock, there is no setting regarding this.
Possibly a.task manager?

Ok, I moved Pandora to Phone (from SD) and I believe it works now. So, anyone out there with this issue? That might solve it.
Like title says. Today my GPS began randomly starting every few minutes. I have not installed any new apps or made any other changes, so I can't figure out what is causing this.
Any suggestions?

What rom, any kernel changed, dropped the phone?
Sorry, its totally stock other than a handle full of apps. No drops, and has been in an Otterbox Defender from day 1.
Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA App
Depending on what you are doing on the phone, and your location settings, it is normal for gps to start automatically. Ie doing a Google search when you have GPS enabled and have allowed Google to access your location as they say "to provide better search results"
Or it could be your wife logging into your htcsense account and using the locate phone feature to find you
LOL. Sitting here with the wife and watching GPS activating. Also, have location access disabled on Google.
This is really strange. I've had the phone a while now, and this is new behavior. It happens even after I have force closed all the apps that might happen to use GPS.
Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA App
For anyone interested by monitoring the GPS events while watching running apps, I was able to find the culprit. It was the AT&T Mark The Spot App causing GPS to keep activating. Even after doing an FC of the app, within minutes it would start itself again and then GPS would start firing up again. Uninstalled the AT&T app: problem solved. I had the app for a good while, and this was a fairly recent bug.
Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA App
I have been able to randomly get market or android or whatever does it, to restore all my apps and settings. Other times (like right now) I am unable to get them to restore.
WHAT IS THE TRICK!? This is so frustrating.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
As long as you log in to your Google account during phone setup, immediately after flashing, it should auto restore. Personally I avoid the "feature" as it is slow, even on a high speed WiFi connection.
I just can not get it to work. It worked on cm7 nightly but its not on cm7 stable.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
I was able to get it to work by letting it sit before hitting "finish setup". I waited until the little sync icon went away before I hit finish setup.
Then again this was on a slightly different rom so who knows what the culprit was.

Hi all,
I have a verizon galaxy s3 and I flashed cyanogen mod 10 stable version (11/13) today. I tried navigation, and for some reason it just keeps saying searching gps.. and can't seem to locate it. I have also tried liquid jelly bean rom and the same thing happened. I am new to roms, so does turn by turn directions/navigation not work on roms for galaxy s3? the phone can pick up my location in google now for example (because it gives me weather for the correct location), but i can't seem to do navigation. Please let me know if there is a way to fix this.
Thanks!
In settings make sure you turn on all the stuff in location access and under applications clear data for maps.

hmm when i try to navigate somewhere, it still just gets stuck on "Searching for GPS..."

It should be something with the settings in GPS, I think it's the last option in the location settings and you should be turning on the option for "internal antenna"
