So I was looking at the settings.db with the sql3 lite editor and came across this: Line 59 mobile_data value 1. However, I'm constantly in airplane mode and only turn on wifi and bluetooth as needed.
Is it possible that this line is the controlling factor to keep the Streak from turning on the mobile radio? Would setting this to value=0 stop cell standby?
I'm a little afraid to tamper with it since I don't know what it means - does anyone more knowledgeable than I know what this line controls?

Not actually - I installed juice defender but mobile_data still has a value of 1. And cell standby still is showing at 88%!!!
I also had this huge battery drain to cell standby (on the wifi only model...)
trying to flash the Honeystreak, and see if this changes (and to try out HC too hehe!)

Okay, that makes sense. I was using that for awhile on the stock, and noticed no difference. Uninstalled it a week later.
Will try to test it out on streakdroid once I get back onto a working rom (fell into the BSOD of Honeystreak B3)

Just keep airplane mode (Setttings>Wireless) on all the time - no need to ever turn it off since there really is no phone in this tablet.

That doesn't stop the phone modem. If you check the settings you will see that the device is still picking up signal from the cell towers. It just isn't connecting with the mobile network.

I don't think that is doing anything more than the existing settings. The S7 already allows one to turn on WiFi during airplane mode. Earlier android versions did not allow this.

I finally was able to disable "cell standby" by the following procedure (for reference see the following in the Acer Iconia 500 forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...t=cell+standby )
Using "Bloat Freezer" freeze phone.apk (the instant this is done, it will force close - just hold the power button until it shuts off ) - this will only happen once. Then using "Bloat Freezer" freeze telephony.providers.apk - this doesn't force close. Reboot once more and viola! no more cell standby. I also noticed in the notification area at the top a new icon - it's 4 bars with an x over the lowest bar. It's like when you turn a cellphone on airplane mode - same type of icon.
Also, I had airplane mode enabled (I always have that) and now the little airplane no longer shows up - I guess it's been replaced by the "bars with x" icon. WiFi still works as well as it did before.
To me, this indicates that mobile data is off but maybe someone more knowledgable can give a better explanation.

Same situation here.

Basically I go to school and some rooms I can't get a signal in it.
So I was wondering if there was an app that puts the phone into airplane mode based upon not finding a signal for "X" amount of minutes.
I know of auto airplane mode, but that does it on a timing schedule instead.
Any ideas? Thanks!

Hi,
I have developed a simple small application doing exactly what is needed. Other applications on the market are quite complex to do such a small job.
The application puts the device in airplane mode at the specified time. It also gets the device back into normal mode at the specified time. This happens every day. One can also cancel the auto on/off scheduling. The application is small and is free without any complexity.
You can get it from the Android Market:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.naresh.utility.auto.onoff&feature=search_result
Do tell me if you face any issues. Would be good to get a good rating as well if you are satisfied.
BR; Wolverine
No-one appears to have had this issue on this phone yet, and not for this exact reason, which makes me think it's only a small error somewhere. (I hope)
Ever since I got it about a month ago, even before I rooted it or did anything to it, it would randomly reboot with no particular pattern. I've since discovered it's specifically caused by the wifi being left on, and the phone left locked for more than about 15 minutes, regardless of whether any apps are open at all. All in all it only happens when wifi is on, and it's not charging or being used. When being used it never happens, and when it's plugged into USB or the wall charger it never happens, and never when just network data is on, no wifi. And I can leave it with both wifi and data off and it will happily standby for it's whole battery life with no issues.
What is the wifi doing when I leave it locked? does anyone know specifically why it causes this?
Anyone? I use wifi way way more than my data, i want to be able to put it down for 10 minutes!

Try updating the firmware. This might help...
Sent via XDA Premium
There may be a corrupted apk somewhere that would be active only when Wi-Fi is on (note that there are some services that are still running in the background even if you think they are none , they are not that easy to find and will most likely restart if you kill them , but it's ok because they need to run) . Reflashing the stock firmware with Odin should do the trick.
Also I presume you haven't overclocked it . If you did , lower down the max frequency a little .
FInally , are there any heating issuses when this happens ?
i've had the same issue with the mini 1. it was gone after i have flashed the stock firmware on it.
my mini 2 has no reboot problems (yet).
Try setting wifi sleep policy to "never" of you have at option in settings>wifi>advanced.
Alternatively, it could be called keep wifi on during sleep, turn it to "always"

Yes! this fixed it! thankyou so much man, I hadn't ever discovered that there was an advanced section to the wifi, finally I can leave my phone unattended without worrying about it rebooting!
I have selected to never keep WiFi on during sleep yet now the tablet continues to run the WiFi as you can see in the pictures. This has forced me to use airplane mode when I am on the go because otherwise the tablet just keeps WiFi on and burns the battery extremely quick. This has been a problem since I updated to 4.2.1. I am not rooted completely stock. A solution would be great because this sucks right now. I have tried clearing the cache in recovery but that didn't solve the problem.
I'm running the latest Paranoidandroid ROM and thought that was the problem. I can't yet post to that developer forum so I was just waiting for the next beta.
I guess it's a problem with 4.2.1 then.

If you don't find a solution you may want to try DataEasyPro from the market. It kills both 3g and wifi as soon as the screen is off and then runs a user defined schedule to turn on 3g or wifi every now and the for a few seconds to keep you upto date with your social world. Works great. There is even a widget so you can turn off the schedule when you are downloading or updating from the play store.

I think it is a 4.2.1 problem. Its hard to say how wide spread it is though because I have only seen a handful of posts about this issue though. To me, this issue is unacceptable. I should not have to enable/disable airplane mode to conserve battery. Especially when the previous version of android prior to the 4.2.1 update handled WiFi sleep settings without a problem. Hopefully a fix will be here soon. My tablet used to have superb battery life without me constantly monitoring it. Now I feel like I have to keep double checking that I remember to use airplane mode so that I don't go to use the tablet and find a nearly depleted battery.

I recommend automate it, I have a couple of rules set to turn WiFi of with the screen (with a 5min delay), then turn Wi-Fi back on when the screen turns on. There's plenty of other settings and rules to play with as well.

Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
It's not google maps itself, it's the android location service. It's always collecting data even if your phone or tabscreen isn't on. This is pretty anoying since google only let you choose between agreeing to run the service in the background or not using it at all. Stupid! How about collecting data only when the device is in use?
Same here. There is a bug report on Google about it.

I highly recommend using an app called Better Battery Stats. You can find the free version here on XDA. It'll tell you if there is an app causing a wakelock. I used it to troubleshoot my Rezound and I'm getting a solid 4-5 hours of screen on time with the extended battery on that because it helped me lock down the apps that were killing my battery.

I was having the wifi on issue as well. Just bought my N7, stock 4.2.1 and not rooted. I followed the tip in point four of this post, which details a simple set up using Tasker, where the unit turns the wifi on and off after the screen turns on or off respectively. The reason for the 10 second delay as is detailed in the link, is to allow for the turning on of your N7 to check the time or other reasons, and then quickly turn it off without the wifi on task being activated.
the screenshot below shows my wifi being stuck on while in sleep mode, even with it set to be never on during sleep in the settings, and the change in behavior once the 2 Tasker profiles we set up.
Cheers
Those of you having issues, have you tried the "only when plugged in" setting? Not sure if it would really matter but that's what I use and mine turns on and off just fine.

Testing that now. Turned off Tasker, and set wifi to the "only when plugged in" setting. It's only been about 30 minutes, but so far it looks like it's behaving the same as before, as in keeping wifi on while in sleep. I'll Let it sleep for a few hours and see what the chart shows.
Cheers
EDIT: So I let my N7 sit for about an hour after switching the above mentioned settings, and you can see in the screenshot below that the wifi is staying on while the unit is not awake. I've set my Tasker profiles to control the wifi once again.
I know it may be fixed by a factory reset, but frankly I'm more than happy with the way Tasker handles the issue.
Cheers
so 6 months later, I am still getting this problem. However it seems only to be with the last update. The tasker method seems to be working well though.
Hello everyone.
I have unlocked D3 on stock .906 rom, rooted, and I am on gsm network. My previous phone (and first experience with android was an HTC desire). Like with the old one, also with d3, I really felt abandoned and forgotten from Motorola when they truncated the upgrade path to ICS . Well enough with old stuff, now the question. What I really liked of desire was the possibility to turn on/off data connectivity at will, no apn mods were required, just tap that widget from htc, and woila data connection is on or off, how many times you want, regardless of the time between each tap. With d3, at first there is no moto widget to perform this action, easy fix though. I am using widgetsoid to turn on/off data. My experience with this is as follows:
Data turn off is immediate (understandable) - correct behavior.
Data turn on behaves differently - if it tap the widget shortly after turning data off, then it'll work as it should - data comes back on. If some time has passed, data won't re-enable, and I need to enter in the *#*#info#*#* menu and then it'll start to try to reconnect, resulting in data on after a few moments.
I also use the battery and data manager and chose one of the three moto/vzw predefined settings and I noticed that, while data connection automatically goes off at 10pm, it will not automatically come up at 8am (as per settings predefined in the rule). So, I need to go into info menu, at which point it'll start to reconnect. Also, I need to mention that if I wake the phone say at 10:30pm generally it'll reconnect automatically, which is fine.
Also, I tried to make a screenshot using drocap2, because while not connected, in info menu it displays "disconnected at 12:59 am", which isn't the case at all because I turned off data maybe at 8pm or at some other time, but unfortunately it started to connect and the message is not there anymore.
Has anyone experienced such behavior in the past? Did you manage to fix it? If yes how?
Many thanks,

I would suggest using the Airplane mode. That should turn off all radio and when you turn it back in it restarts the radio or data
Sent from my DROID3 using XDA
Disable that battery mode thingy. Just use performance mode. It seems to be causing your problems.
@Jason Roach
Enabling/disabling airplane mode does not seem very practical.
@Mr.Obvious
I'll try the suggestion and post back.
Seriously though, why did Motorola not implement something resembling htc's data on/off widget?

Hi there,

Hi all,
I'm using stock rom XXLQE on my i9070 and switched to CoCore 6.8 since I was experiencing tremendous lags with official kernel.
Even though I've set WiFi to stay always on during sleep, I have noticed that it drops off after a while when Power Saving mode is enabled. Indeed, turning the screen back on will cause a reconnection to the wireless network. Is it the expected behaviour when power saving is enabled?

Something is wrong with your phone. This does not happen on my S Advance or even on my Note 2 !
I'll try to run for few days with PSM disabled and see if that happens again.
I suspect it won't but I need more time, I'll keep you posted in case.
By the way, is there an app that logs WiFi connections/disconnections? The simplest possible would fit...It can be useful for debugging purposes
I've extensively tested the phone, and it happened quite a few times that WiFi went off for long periods (around 30 mins): in fact, as soon as I unlocked the screen the connection promptly restarted. I could determine the downtime by some Whatsapp messages I received and their timestamp.
Disabling Power Saving Mode apparently solved the problem (i.e., I've never experienced any WiFi downtime).
