Hi mates,
I was wondering if there is a way to set my X8 to work only in phone mode?
Make and receive calls and send sms. Everything else is shutdown.
Like a Full Mode and Phone Only Mode Button or boot option.
I found this app in play store: Simple Phone Seniors Phonotto
What i want is this app with all other nationalities in standby or disable.
Cm7 roms have power widget. So why use some app that will drain battery.

In the morning,after 6-8 hours of idle,when I press power button or home key it has a delay of 5-6 seconds before screen turns on... And if someone call me screen stay black and I have to press power button to turn screen on to see who is calling me. How to fix this?
Are you using an app like SetCPU to underclock the CPU while the phone is idle or when the screen is off? I did that and found that the phone would hang while waking up or while answering a call while the screen was off.
To even help u at all, u need to tell us what firmware u have installed, an apps u have that adjust apn, battery saving, cpu adjusting etc.
I only ever had the problem u describe wheb i was using Eclair.

Currently I am on Darky's 9.3 rom(on 9.2 was same problem),but I think I had same problem with stock but I am not sure... Have no battery saving no setcpu apps,but I just tried SetCPU but after that I changed at least 7-8 firmwares so it should not effect. And that is not happening if phone is 1 hour in idle(screen off) only 6-7 hours(over night)
Not sure if u are still waiting for an answer.
Point 1. You are using a custom rom, take ur questions to the darky forum thread.
Point 2. If u want no lag, use a stock 2.2.1 like js7.

Hi,just want to say that I changed rom and all is ok. It seems that rom was messing something up...
Anyway, problem solved.

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?
A app called juice defender offers that option

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!)

Not on the stock ROM. I have it and the cell controls only work with certain custom ROMs.

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.

But this won't work on a stock DS7, which is where I'd like to shut Cell Standby

Same situation here.
Hi all!
I'm on simply honey. 5 and having a really annoying problem.
When I get a call, the answering bar keeps moving around when I turn the phone around.
Is there a way in disabling that without disabling it in the entire system?

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

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?
Thanks to both of you

Hi there,
I tried your suggestion Mr. Obvious, but to have data back on i still need to go in info menu (wait there a couple of seconds).
Well, i guess there is no way to make it better using stock rom. Based on your experience, how are other roms in regard to this?
Thanks in advance

Hi guys does anyone know how to make Facebook sleep
I've had a message from stamina mode saying that Facebook prevents the phone from entering stamina mode which seems a little odd considering that Facebook came pre installed

Turn off auto-login. If that doesn't help - just force close the app, it shouldn't turn itself on again unless you do it manually.
