You mean you want to turn off the radio?
Simple method is to go to Settings -> Wireless controls -> Airplane mode. NOTE: This turns off all radios, including WiFi.
If you want a icon to do this, go to the Market and download AnyCut and make a shortcut to Airplane mode.

no not turn off the radio , just close all open connection. cuz i can't see if there's some connection open !!!!!!

A little more description on your dilema would be apreciated.
Who charged you 55 euros?
Are you talking about data transmissions?
If your phone is on and you have service with some provider AND haven't installed any apps that require streaming data, you should not have any "open connections" as you say.

anycut to 'phone info' might help.
'service viewer' in marketplace, but without root cant kill ;{

No need for a task manager as the device closes programs on its own.
To disable all data connections use anycut to phone info (like said above) and then menu -> more and you can disable data connection for just that time or disable it on boot to disable forever.
If you were charged 55 euros for using data then you need to get a different phone as this phone is meant for an always on connection so it is connected 24/7

Well I have the same issue. There are no affordable dataplan in the country I live in so letting any application use as much network as it feels like is not an option.
Sadly the phone does not have a way to control who's allowed to use the radio/network or anything for that matter past the installation time. So if pong3d has been installed with full network access you're screwed it can wake up at any time and start streaming whatever it wants from and to your phone. It can even clog your bandwidth and make your browsing suck.
I understand the whole fully connected device thing, but I still think this is a major flaw as users end-up with limited control over what application is doing what. There should be a way to disable data connection, like disabling wifi.
And ultimately there should be a way to manage the permission of the various app. I want to run pong3d but there is no way I'm giving it Contact Access and SMS access and "service that cost you money". Or I want a fair warning "accept/deny" whenever the application tries...
It also happens that people travel (like me) to other countries. And when traveling I use local pre-paid SIM card to avoid roaming fees. I don't need gtalk and MarioSimulator (yeah it does check for update when you launch it) to burn through my credit just because they think they can.
Since we had networking on phone they have been asking you if you wanted to allow the application to connect "Always/Never/Just this time". If Android expect to be used on other devices (so other providers, other countries, other dataplan) that feature will be needed. And the all or nothing attitude towards permissions when installing an app must be changed.
In the mean time, I suggest the original poster do what I do.. Delete all your APN settings and re-add them when needed. In my case just changing one letter in the APN seems to be enough.

I completely understand where you are coming from and I think once the OS comes out of beta it will be a lot better. In the meantime I think it is easier to do the method I did above as it just turns off the data connection and doesn't change any other settings. And you can turn it on or off on the fly.

Don't mean to derail the converstaion but... Google, out of BETA? ROFLOL!!!
That'll be the end of life as we know it!
Anyways... going back to the subject. Your trick is neat and I don't need it (T-mobile customer with unlimited data) but still usefull.
@ mrboyd:
As neoobs stated, you'll have to do that workaround untill Google does add such a feature, but unless you give enough stink (complain) about it, they won't listen.
You could go here to developers and see if anyone is doing something about it and "ask" for such a "feature"
http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers
Also, where are you located? Who's your service provider? What data plans do they have there, or don't?

On the same topic... if someone notices they have no data connection and want to enable it follow the same directions. I did this the other night when tmobiles towers were down. It helped me get connected again.

Does this thing works? I have tried playing with it a little bit and it didn't seem to do much. I'll give it another shot.

what 'thing' ?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

App To Drastically Improve Battery Life.

Did a search and it didn't show any results about an app called Juice Defender....so here's a post about it.
Simply put it disables your apn when your phone is asleep then turns it back on when you go to use your phone.
It will really surprise how much it saves. Instead of my phone having 5% battery life left after normal usage in a 13-15 hour day, I now have 30-35% percent left.
I suggest everyone give it a try. It has customizable options and is a nice alternative for those not wanting to double the size of their g1 with an extended battery, but want more from their battery.
Just search "Juice Defender" in market or here's the link to the website: http://www.latedroid.com/2010/01/juicedefender.html

Doesnt that mean you wont receive calls or texts?

An APN is only required for 3G, so it should still be fine as EDGE/GSM would still be available. Thats the theory anyway.

Exactly I still receive all my calls and texts, and it also has a schedule so it will turn the apn on for a short time every so many minutes. Mine is scheduled for every 30mins my phone is asleep, it turns the apn on for 3 mins. This way I still recieve any updates that require a data connection, such as email or facebook.

The Access Point Name (APN) is required for GPRS/EDGE/3G. It's my job
OT
The reason why the custom ROMs have the "big apn list" is because when you use different carrier sims the APN is typically always different (except a lot of companies use "internet" for their APN). When I went to China last month my G1 automatically knew the APN for China Mobile. China Mobile doesn't have 1700mhz 3G and I used the APN appp to disable internet access so I wouldn't burn through my prepaid minutes. Very nice.

Im not sure this app works. I turned it on, left Hello AIM signed in, sent some IM's to my phone from my PC and my phone was still able to recieve the IM's in sleep mode.

something that I do is that I turn off my gps and my sync option also I only select my sinc for my gmail and not my contacts or my calendar (I unchecg those) I disable the option that allows google to get my location automatically and share my info with google
when Im not using the internet I select the option of 2g networks only
and that saves me ALOT OF BATTERY

Not sure why that's happening, the app definetly works. There's a half second delay when you wake up your phone and you can see the apn being enabled again, as it wasn't there previously. some things to consider:
-You didn't actually activate the app. It's not enough to just install it you have to click on it and select activate.
-You sent the IM's immediately after putting your phone to sleep. It isn't an immediate turn off of the apn, some data may still get through before it completely turns it off.
-Or it maybe a custom ROM problem. Maybe some unique setting is set so your apn behaves differently than the app expects.

This is what I did (and still do) before I installed this app to save battery. Try using the app and you'll see your battery life will almost double.

I can only agree. Works fine for me. Battery lasts considerably longer.

I don't see it on the market?
I see it on developer website as free and has a barcode. I scan it with my barcode scanner and it didn't find on the market either. Is this compatible with cupcake 1.5 ROM or only 1.6 or higher? I like to give this app a try.
Update: OK I looked at the FAQ on dev site and it's not compatible for cupcake ROM. So I guess I have to wait until 2.1 rom comes out.. bummer.

i just searched for it and it is in the android market.

I did a search in the market and found it... it seems to work like the OP said it would... I am still able to receive texts, and I can see the delay when the 3g comes back on. Only time will tell though... If you download the free version, some things are disabled. I might end up getting the paid version later if this really helps.

alright, so i installed it and played around with the settings.
i rebooted my phone and now it doesnt really boot up.
on the lockscreen, i get the 'no service' message. and then it gives me a ton of force closes one right after the other.
so basically, it doesnt allow my phone to boot up. doesnt even get to the part where it gets signal or anything.
im just gonna restore from an earlier backup and see what was wrong. but dunno if this has happened to any of you...

[Q] new to the forum new to droid, new captivate

Hi everybody, new to the forums and new to droid - I recently upgraded from the Propel to the Captivate and so far I am loving it. With all the reviews and forums I read before deciding to buy most of my answers have been answered, but not all.
My phone was loaded with 2.2 and when I registered it with Samsung it showed a build date of feb/11 so I'm hoping that my phone has alot of the big fixes already loaded. I have noticed that the gps code listed on this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=732030
Does not work on my phone, I enter *#*#1472365#*# and the last * just clears the code out of my dialer... no sub-menu, no options, nothing. Any ideas how to do gps testing?
Other question, I spend alot of time off the cell network and I need a gps that works - which app would be good to use? Searching the app store there is quite a few ranging in price, most seem to have mixed reviews. Google does nothing for me since it needs the network to pull up the maps. Basically when I load up the gps it shows me in a sea of nothingness and trying to scroll the map gives me an error 'need network connection' type of message.
Also, I've noticed what looks like 2 small led's one the face of my phone, just to the left of the speaker and the ugly logo. Are these notification leds or something else?
I don't plan on rooting or flashing my phone for a while... yes yes I know, stock sucks, but like I said I was using the Samsung Propel a couple days ago and now the Captivate - I've got alot to learn and alot to get used to before I switch things around. Yes, one day I do want to switch off of stock software just not right now, thanks for the suggestion though. lol

As for needing a GPS on without using Data there are a few but to be honest if you need it for reliable GPS, then you got the wrong device. The captivate is known for having terrible GPS and it is unrelible at best. Good enough to help you learn a new town but not good enough to get you where you need to go on time everytime. The led are the light sensors. No led Notifications with the captivte at all unless you rom a custom rom and get BLN from the app store that will light up your 4 bottom keys when you have a message.

I do have a stand alone gps, I was just hoping I'd be able to free up some pocket space with the phone - so far, it just shows a blank screen with a blue indicator and says it's accurate 'within 10 meters'. I was hoping I could find a app that provided maps and maybe help tune it a bit. Next time I'm on the network I'll play around with it and see what kind of readings it gives - even if the gps is low end, I'm still liking this phone so far... a whole lot better than the propel.
Thanks for the update, zelendel

One is a proximity sensor and one is a light sensor.

Thanks for the info, I got a couple gps test apps I'm going to mess around with in a while but, I found a new problem that is driving me crazy...
I bought a usb wifi adapter - Asus n13 (b/g/n), in the hopes of using my internet for data and my phone will not connect to wifi. Even driving around town to places that offer free open wifi, my phone will not connect. It finds the wifi hotspots, pulls up the ssid, says connecting, then gets to 'assigning ip' and freezes. On my pc wifi setup, it shows a new connection and 2 seconds later disconnect.
In the phone wifi settings, it keeps showing wifi -connecting....disconnected, back to scanning, connecting in an endless loop - but it never connects. It has the ssid remembered but I cannot delete it or reset it. WPS failed to connect from either end.
Sleep Policy is off
Use Static IP is off
This is a big issue for me since I'm on the cheap att data plan.. I've tried various settings on the pc side of things, all with the same results, I've browsed the internet and done a bit of troubleshooting (ie, different usb ports, different drivers, turning on/off services, etc etc) - I think the problem is on the phone since it does not access any wifi... maybe I missed a setting somewhere?
For now I'm going to dig through the user manual again...

OK, playing around with some of windows wireless settings I've hit a new roadblock... my phone says connecting... Obtaining IP address... Disconnecting... Scanning...
That is one small step closer I think, because it wasnt trying to get an ip address earlier, it was just connecting/disconnecting.

finally! I figured it out!!!
Just for future note.... You have to go into your windows network settings, highlight your broadband AND wifi together - select bridge... restart your pc wifi software and then connect your phone, it should start right up!

You say you do not want to root the phone. But try Launcher Pro anyways to access the LbsTestMode.
1. Sign up/in to the market.
2. Download and install Launcher Pro (it says Pro but there is a FREE version, so dont worry).
3. After install, go to home screen. Long press and choose "Shortcuts"
4. In menu, choose "Activities" (yellow icon).
5. Scroll down and expand the menu "LbsTestMode". Under this is a submenu. Choose the first "LbsTestMode" under this. Yes the main menu and submenu have same name.
6. Choose Ok or whatever, and the icon will be on your Home screen.
7. If you get this far, then you are good.
Open LbstestMode:
1. At the moment you probably should just leave Application Settings to default.
2. Under "Supl/CP settings". And change as follows:
Server: supl.google.com (no "www.")
Server Port: 7276
Secure Socket: OFF
AGPS Mode : SUPL
3. Return to previous menu.
4. DELETE GPS DATA just to clear all previous data.
5. Run "Get Position Test" on top of menu.....
Good Luck !!

Yeah, Google Maps requires a network connection.....BUT when you go into Navigation mode - via the Directions menu and turning on navigation, you get navigation. YOU NEED TO DOWNLOAD VOICE SYNTHESIS from the market to get voice guidance. This a good first try, IF YOUR GPS WORKS !!
Or try NAVIGON for Android ....you can buy it but also check here www.mobilism.org (ahem..ahem). I use daily, and I think it is the best routing....
EDIT: Well...about google maps, I think you need a data connection jsut to open the damn software, so you will need Navigon, Igo primo or similar...I AM ASSUMING YOU WANT ROUTING DIRECTIONS and not hiking type positioning. Then take a look at this http://www.backcountrynavigator.com/content/android-gps-software AND here http://www.backcountrynavigator.com/

Thanks again for the updates, but it seems like either Samsung or ATT has locked out the Lbs Test mode feature, both of the codes have the same result - after entering the last character it clears it out. I did get LauncherPro and am really digging it so far, but even the lbs tests dont do anything, it goes to a blank screen and just sits there... I have the status bar at the top and a totally blank screen. I even set my phone down on a box out in the yard for 30+ minutes and nothing ever came up - using the google and stock settings for the test. I'm guessing if/when I root my phone the tests will work
I started using GPS Test from Chartcross Limited and GPS Status from EclipSim - both show that my gps is accurate between 16.4 and 32.8 feet - depending on which the way the wind is blowing. I've been browsing some of the other gps/map apps but for now I'll just carry around my standard gps when I need it.
Even with the gps issues, I'm really liking this phone alot. I havent really ran into any other problems yet

[DATABASE EDIT] Disable Fast Dormancy to get less com.android.phone wake-ups

Background and explanation
Some of our phones and firmware have a bad implementation of the fast dormancy (a function that actually should save us battery). The phone will always check the network status when the phone has a low signal or when calling/texting. This to know when to idle the network connection.
The wake-ups prevent a phone from a long deep sleep and may cause bad battery life. It also polls the network frequently when the screen is on, probably consuming extra battery life. So fixing this might improve your battery life.
I found this thread for the Optimus G: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2018894
And got some info out of, tried to apply some of the tips over there myself and I think I found out how to do it for any network provider on any LG phone.
First let me talk about the results; I used to have 300+ wake-ups in 20 minutes from com.android.phone. This in areas where the mobile signal was weak. Now after applying this setting I had only 3 wake-ups in 25 minutes. I was still able to text, call and receive calls, use mobile data, 2G and 3G mode. So after applying this, the phone should still work normally.
Hope this helps for preventing the com.android.phone wake-ups.
It could be that your network is incompatible with these specific settings.
This is currently for STOCK ROM ONLY
Tutorial how to edit manually
Here are the steps, this is for rooted phones only:
- First, know what your mobile network provider is!
- To know this, refer to this list: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_Network_Code
- From this list, get your MCC and MNC code, make sure it's your country and your mobile network provider.
- Download or use a root file explorer, I use ES File Explorer.
- In the file explorer go to /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases
- Copy the telephony.db file as a backup to your /sdcard or /sdcard/external_sdcard
- Download these 2 apps: aShell and aSQLiteManager
- Start the aShell app.
- Check the 'Root' box.
- Tap 'File Explorer'.
- Tap 'data', then again 'data', then 'com.android.provider.telephony', then 'databases'.
- Tap the 'telephony.db' file.
- Tap 'Yes'.
- Tap 'aSQLiteManager' to open the 'telephony.db' file.
- Tap 'dcm_settings'.
- Tap 'Data'.
- Now search in the list (by tapping 'PgUp or 'PgDn') or you can find your mobile network 'numeric' number. This is the MCC code followed by the MNC code. For example: MCC is 206, MNC is 20, look for the 'numeric' 20620.
- Is it already in the list? Good let's continue. Is it not? We'll get onto that later (see step 'Now if your...').
- Tap 'Edit' on the line where your 'numeric' is listed.
- Edit the following field: 'fastdormancy'.
- Set this value to '0'. *
- Was it already value '0'? Unfortunately this fix is already applied (doesn't apply) or won't make any difference for you.
- Tap 'OK'.
- Now, if your 'numeric' isn't listed, we will add it our-self. If it was, skip this part.
- Tap 'New'.
- Leave this field open (unedited): '_id'
- Fill in these values in the following fields: 'extraid' set the value '0', 'fastdormancy' set the value '0' *, 'ipmtu' set the value '0', 'mpdp' set the value '1'.
- Add your personal mobile network related 'numeric' number in the 'numeric' field.
- Tap 'OK'.
- Go back and save the 'telephoney.db' copy by tapping 'Yes'.
- Reboot your phone!
This is it!
Restore
If you encounter problems with your network, undo the settings or replace the 'telephony.db' with the file that you backed up. Reboot.

Thanks to ircalf we have a more simple way to edit this database file:

*Use different options for fast dormancy
The member ircalf pointed this out. I already tried a few.
This means you could use these other settings for the 'fast dormancy' table:
- 0 (this one I recommend, it's the easiest solution but has some drawbacks that I experienced, read the red text below)
- 1 (I don't recommend this setting -> the phone never goes into deep sleep with data enabled and battery usage is abnormally high, cause a high amount of Partial wake lock's for the RILJ wake lock)
- 1,0,0,1000,5000,420000,5000,5000,1,1,1
- 1,0,0,1000,5000,10000,5000,5000,1,0,1
- 1,0,0,1000,5000,60000,5000,5000,1,1,1
- 1,0,0,1000,5000,300000,5000,5000,1,1,1
Try them out and see what works best for you
I'm going to try custom numbers also to see if that makes any difference.
More details about these numbers thanks to bullghost:

!Known issues!
IMPORTANT!
- Like said above, this could cause problems. Use with caution:
Already known issues for some network providers/users (not all experience these problems! So this fix might work perfectly for you):
- Sygic can't calculate routes: 'Route calculation has failed: discontinuous network [1].' Fixed in Sygic 12.2.2!
- Browsing the internet is sluggish, lags, ... I was able to get this resolved with browser updates and maybe setting the 'extraid' value to '0'.
- When the battery is below 10-5% it looks like the modem has a hard time to 'lock' a mobile signal, this after a reboot and entering the pincode. This doesn't occur that often when not edited.
- When ending a call or rebooting the phone it might give you this message more often. This when trying to call, text or use mobile data: 'Reorganizing internal processes. Please try again after a short while.'
- Phone sometime looses mobile network signal randomly. This happens when you are in an area with not that many antennas.

OK.. what about this apk?
is it doing same thing on nonrooted phones ?

That's made for AT&T (this is a specific mobile network provider from the US) Optimus G phones.
So I think this one only works for AT&T LG phones. And don't know or root isn't required with that apk. It would surprise me though, in /data/data/ you need root access to modify files.

requieres root?
i dont have problem w/ deep sleep anyway...but would test it.

I might try this...my phone never enters into deep sleep overnight somehow.

i have used this apk, and my com.android.phone alarms are now minimized.

Some of our phones and firmware have a bad implementation of the fast dormancy. The phone will always check the network status when the phone has a low signal or when calling/texting.
The wake-ups prevent a phone from a long deep sleep and may cause bad battery life. It also polls the network frequently when the screen is on, probably consuming extra battery life. So fixing this might improve your battery life.

I tried your tutorial... so far is OK...

I can honestly say that this tweak worked great for me. After doing so, com.android.phone rarely wakes up anymore. Which is so much better for my battery life.

I'm testing this now. I will report back.

I have been using my fix for a while now. But unfortunately I experienced some drawbacks of this fix. When using the Sygic app I get a 'discontinuous network' error while calculating a route. Followed with a force close.
Browsing with my browser is unresponsive.
Anyone experiencing the same?
I now went back to default and everything is ok again.

will report back after a day or so

the wake-ups have dropped to 32 in 2 hour but my phone keep losing signal any solution

Yeah, if that happens you have to undo the edit or replace the telephony.db file with the backup. Reboot, maybe also switch to airplane mode and back. And everything will work again, but you'll have the wake-ups again also.
I had similar strange behavior.
Probably due to the phone checking the network status less.

I'm testing it over couple of days and i'm relay satisfied with improvident of battery life. Also i didn't notice any signal loss.

I have changed some steps, I've tested with explicitly setting the 'extraid' value also on '0' to see what this does. Seems to work even better for me.
Could some people try and report? Thanks!

Well I followed every step of your little tweak and here are the results. By the time I completed the few changes (let's say 5 minutes), I got 300+ wake-ups. Now it's been 10 minutes that I rebooted my phone and I only had 5 wake-ups, that's terrific ! I'll see how it affects the battery life but I'm pretty sure it cannot be bad. And Internet is working pretty well (it updated 2 apps just after reboot). I'll see how it behaves in roaming situations and keep you updated

Good to hear it seems to work

I have an unrooted phone, so cannot use this. Nevertheless, would like to know how to check the no. of wakeups! Pl suggest.

You can use BetterBatteryStats. But that's a payed app. Or check the android alarms, maybe you can find that over there also:
Arne_B said:
Edit:
Also if you want to dig deeper to find apps that keep the phone awake and thus drain battery you could do this:
Make a dump of the 'Android Alarms', this often shows some more detailed info than BetterBatteryStats.
Ghazkul said:
Connect your phone to a computer and run this:
Code:
adb shell dumpsys alarm > AlarmDump.txt
or download GScript lite and create the following script:
Code:
cd /sdcard
dumpsys alarm > AlarmDump.txt
Note that you probably need root access for the GScript to work. The AlarmDump.txt file will be on your sdcard root directory.

Look for the 'wakeups' count number in the 'Alarm Stats:' part of the dump file.

[Q] Unrecorded 100KB mobile data traffic every 10 minutes -

I got a new XT1068 (dual-SIM unlocked) last week. It came with Android 5.0.2 out of the box and hasn't been updated yet.
My mobile data plan starts on the 1st of every month and I get 500MB. I don't browse much on mobile data so I keep it on all the time for push updates and such.
The other day (the 8th) I got a text from my carrier saying I used all the data. This had never happened before on any phone or any carrier I've used.
I went to the carriers website to check my account and it shows mobile data traffic in bursts of 100KB approximately every 10 minutes right up until they cut my access, because I reached the cap.
The odd thing is under "Data usage" I don't see any of these bursts.
A friend of mine had the exact same problem (same model and same carrier) and his solution was to do a Factory Restore. I want to find a better solution, because the phone just came from the factory.
Any ideas?

Try disabling Google location reporting, an use greneefy to other apps

Thanks for your reply. I really like all the Google Now stuff, so I won't disable location, but I will look at Greeneefy.
I managed to find some concrete information on this here. The proposed solution was to change the APN settings to not include supl (Secure User Plane Location). Apparently that has to do with A-GPS and uses very little data, but I'm unlucky enough that my carrier deducts 100KB for every connection.
I applied the fix, but since I'm out of data, I can only know if it worked next month. I will report back.

You could restrict Data Usage on Google Services too.

If this fix doesn't work I guess that's the only option. That would probably mess with location, wouldn't it?

I don't think so, when the phone needs to know where it is, it triangulates its position between cell towers (with no actual data being used) plus GPS and plus WiFi if connected. You can try it and see if it works.

OK. It should still mess with some other things, I suspect.
I'll see if this SUPL thing works and if not I'll look into other options. Truth is that issue explains the frequent data use and the fact that it isn't reported under Data usage, so I really think that might be it.

Yes Sir that's right the phone don't need internet connection to know it's location but if Google reporting is enabled is will connect to send it's location to Google servers I think it will help disabling location reporting also battery is improved a lot

I see. I'm happy with the battery life so far and I find Google's services very useful, so I'll leave it on for now. If the same problem turns up, I'll really have no choice but to turn it off.
