Can Tasker REALLY override Airplane Mode random starts? - Motorola Droid 3

I can not find, anywhere, a perminant fix for Airplane Mode randomly turning on, rendering the phone/radio useless. I get a "com.androidphone" force close before airplane mode comes on but no icon in notification bar.. Have to restart...
Soooooo,
I thought Tasker might be able to override this?.... I hope I did everything correct:
Since I could not figure out how to just shut airplane mode off for 24 hours, I created a profile(s)
Airplane mode on 1:51am - 1:52am, then Airplane mode off 1:53am - 1:50am
I thought turning it on for 1 minute would do the trick....
Unless anyone has found a sure fix for this problem...
I attached in another post these 3 screenshots from Motomizer(They make NO sense to me), but It was in a Nexus forum..I very much appologize for breaking any rules... I am just frustrated and really trying to fix this major issue..No one seems to have a 100% sure fix for this.... I have done restores..etc..
Thank you for any help
Rich
***Update--- Tasker did not work.. went into airplane mode 5 times in 10 mins..preceeded by 'com.android.phone" fc..... No one replied to this anyways.. Why is that?..Just curious.. I see 5 topics after me and all have replies, but this one got 0(I know it has only been hours but still????).... any ideas? was this a moronic topic?

[Q] Reboot using Airplane mode

Sometimes I'm in areas where I don't get the best reception (i.e. some lecture halls during school hours) and I choose to put my phone in airplane mode so as to conserve battery when the class is over. However I find after trying to come out of Airplane Mode my Revo always reboots. As far as I can remember this issue has also happened in Decrapped 1.0. The same thing happens when I turn on GPS and choose to go to Google Navigation I get rebooted. After the reboot occurs I can turn on the gps/airplane mode etc without any problems. But does this issue happen to anyone else or is it perhaps just my phone? Thanks!!
I find that my revo does the same thing with google nav beta, it will sometimes hang and reboot too. I am running stock rom with a root. When I rotate phone the landscape view is sometimes corrupted with tiny blocks instead of the maps drawn correctly. I have to exit nav app and reload
I've had the same thing happen with airplane mode. I don't really use it often so I figure I can live with it.
Same here. The Revo doesn't seem to like hardware mode changes at times. I get reboots when switching into Bluetooth occasionally.

I'm happy to hear I'm not the only one this happens to. Do you think LG will possibly release a fix? (or more people will have to raise concern about it) or possible for a dev to take a crack at it in their free time? Thanks for the feedback guys!

I'm only adding this due to the fact that I was constantly having issues when tethering with the Verizon 4g Hot Spot app. When running it, I found myself needing to reboot because the data connection would get lost and sometimes go into 3g, causing all sorts of headaches with doing things on my computer, such as redesigning websites, including my own.
What I found, though, related to this post, is using the airplane mode to kill the data connection and restart it, was getting me 4g and a few minutes to a few hours of Internet again until the next glitch.
Overall, modded, ota updated, downgraded, whatever, using that method never rebooted my phone. My thoughts are that it's possible some app might be causing that. I don't use Nav anymore, except as a last resort because it is so buggy, it would cause my phone to crash over and over, and rebooting. So, as for LG or Verizon coming up with a fix for this issue, I don't know if they would see it as one because it's not something everyone is experiencing and with as much as I use(d) that method, it never once happened to me. Please don't take that wrongly, just wanted to point out that it might be a certain app and allow those having this issue to seek another solution, maybe comparing apps installed to see a common denominator.
And, because I see a lot of posts relating to tethering issues with Internet freezing or dropping out, I found, on my LINUX machine (so far), that setting the MTU to 1300 seems to have solved that issue. I know this last part isn't directly related to the original post, but is the reason I kept using the airplane mode method and thought this added information might help someone doing what I was...
-Cybie
Sorry for the bump, but as of flashing Revolt 1.5, the issue in my original post seems to have been corrected as I was able to go from airplane mode to google nav multiple times and didn't reboot at all. so whatever the issue was seems to have been corrected. Thanks MT!!

[Q]fix msm_serial_hs_dma wakelock? overlay/frameworks/base/core/res/res/values/config

Hello,
yesterday i have flashed my friends Samsung galaxy i9001 with an Android 4.0.4 Rom.
I have tested it of functionality and found out that the device wouldnt go into deepsleep.
BBS shows me two fulltime wakelocks:
msm_serial_hs_dma
bluesleep
which refere both to bluetooth. But playing around with bluetooth on/off etc. did not help.
After searching the web for a solution i found this about someones HTC wildfire:
I’ve had the problem that the device didn’t want to switch into deep sleep mode if radio was on. What is deep sleep? To make it simple we break it down. Your device has 3 modes. The fisrst is “Screen On and Awake”, “Awake” and “Deep Sleep”. If you use your device it you’re in the first mode and you need a obviously a lot of battery. The second “Awake” means it is doing some background work. Checking for calls, checking Emails, syncing contacts. The last one means it goes for some time into a mode were it uses almost no battery, and this is Deep Sleep. If you don’t do anything and your phone is in your pocket you want that it is in the Deep Sleep mode most of the time.
My HTC Wildfire S didn’t want to go into the “Deep Sleep” mode at all if radio was turned on. It worked with Airplane mode. I thought this has something todo with RIL but I was wrong. Actually it was a bluetooth wakelock. The wakelock “msm_serial_hs_dma” was held all the time. The problem is that the msm7227 platform doesn’t supports quick switch-on/off of the bluetooth module and you need to deactivate it with an overlay else ICS always tries to trigger it.
So adding
<bool name="config_bluetooth_adapter_quick_switch">false</bool>
to overlay/frameworks/base/core/res/res/values/config.xml fixed the problem and the wakelock was gone.

So i would like to add the mentioned line to the config.xml file but i do not know where to find this file.
Could someone lead me to the path?
Regards
Hi there,
I freshly registered because I have the same problem, I9001 with remICS rom 1.3a.
Edit: Updated to Version 1.3.1 of the ROM followed the instructions but problem is the same.
If I go in flight mode the mobile can enter Deep Sleep without problem. As soon as I turn off the flight mode it stops going in this mode.
I tried to put the rom again with all the wipes and cleans and stuff, I took out the battery a few times, I tried to boot with flight mode switched on already but nothing helped.
I also searched this config.xml file but there is nothing like it on the phone.
Any help? Any app which manualy switches off and on the bluetooth will help?
Thanks
I'm having the same issue with CM10 for the Evo3d.
When bluetooth is enabled, those components wake lock the phone.
yes please how i can fix it ?? i am not dev...
Follow this thread to decompile: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1752201
Find config.xml in overlay/frameworks/base/core/res/res/values and change or add in
Code:
<boolname="config_bluetooth_adapter_quick_switch "> false</bool>
Someone please help where is config.xml??
this issue kills my battery after update to kk. on jb idle consumption was 5x lower than on kk. the reason was bluetooth always on and this bug which prevent system to switch to deep sleep. @username1234321 you can more likely find it in /system/framework/framework-res.apk . you need to extract it from your current rom, decompile using apktool, modify, recompile, prepare update package zip and then install it using cwm recovery install option.

[Q] With Stamina mode on, what do I set WiFi as?

Hey guys, apologies if this has already been queried, I look around first and couldnt find another thread about it, just similar topics.
I recently got the Xperia Z and I've got the Stamina mode turned on. As I have unlimited data, I always leave my data turned on and I have switched on the the location based WIFI so that my phone can auto switch to WIFI when Im somewhere that I have successfully connected to before.
My question is though, to get the benefit of all this battery saving modes, in the WIFI settings where it says 'Keep on during sleep' should I turn that to 'Only when plugged in/Never' or can I leave it set as 'Always' cause of having Stamina mode on? Or does the Stamina mode only turn my mobile data on/off?
Thanks for any and all help guy.

For my device, the Wifi setting bypasses the Stamina mode...if you really want to save power...put the wifi on never setting.
Thanks chefnoob,
when you say bypass, you mean that it doesn't turn off WiFi for your device, only mobile data? Sorry to sound like such a noob. I have set it to 'Only when plugged in' as whenever its plugged in, it is charging, so I don't worry about power saving during this time.
Have you, or anyone else, come across problems with Whatsapp being a huge battery drain? Stamina mode had notified me that Whatsapp was preventing it from fully working, but it was only when i finally decided to check in my battery usage that i realized it was using as much as 75% of my battery :/. Tried force stopping it, but then It stops you from receiving messages until you decide to open the app again.
I am hoping that it gets fixed in an update soon, if not I may have to uninstall.
Thanks again. Gaz
You'll save more power by keeping your wifi always on.
I beg to differ.

mengsuan - But that would mean all the time my phone is locked it will still be connected/trying to connect to WiFi, where as if I have my WiFi set to one of the other two, like the mobile data in stamina mode, it will be temporarily turned off until unlock my phone again. Surely the latter would be more power saving, having mobile and WiFi disable themselves whenever the device goes into sleep?

Yes, meaning that even if I had the stamina mode on... If the WiFi is set to always, the WiFi still connects...
Dont quote me on this but I think stamina mode only works with data.

Yes, that is correct...
Also, if you set WiFi to "always" and you are not connected to a network, it uses up more power to seek for networks...
With your whatsapp problem, I think you have a conflict happening...
Maybe you got the whatsapp set to sync regularly while you have stamina mode on. What happens is, whatsapp tries to connect/sync but it cant due to stamina mode. Try this work around...
If you want to keep using whatsapp, add it to the exemption list in stamina mode. That way, it wont block it.
If you dont really need whatsapp, just disable it...you'll save more power using the latter.

Oh right, thanks chefnoob
In regards to the WiFi, I have set it to 'Only when plugged in' as I dont mind it being on more whilst my device is charging. When I unlock my device and I'm in range of one of my 'location based Wifi'' spots, it doesn't take very long to connect so that I can use that rather than mobile data.
As for Whatsapp, I don't really use it a huge amount, but I'm not fully decided on whether I want to uninstall yet haha, so my 'kind of' fix for now is to go on to read/reply to a message from someone, then if I expect a quick reply back leave it for a few minutes, if not I just force stop the app and check it again later on. A tedious job just to use an app, i know, but at the moment its my main method of contact with one of my friends, so I will need to find a new way before uninstalling.
Thanks anyway though, to you all, for help in answering my question and clearing it all up for me

[Q] MyXperia stopping Stamina Mode?

I got a notification earlier saying something about MyXperia stopping STAMINA mode, but not all of the text was visible. But when I clicked on it to find out what it was going on about, it just opened MyXperia settings. I don't know if it is affecting stamina mode, and moreover I think it is, because I'm getting WIFI push notifications that I wouldn't if my wifi was off when my screen is off.

Are you sure that was all that was said? Maybe it was something alongside those lines: "[app_name] is preventing STAMINA mode from saving power in standby."? Some apps need constant wifi connection to pull data so that you are always up to date which kinda kills the purpose of stamina but stamina should overrule them. I suggest you use Greenify, it goes well with stamina.
If the "error" you got is same as i quoted, I also encountered it. After that i forced stopped the app at fault, waited - didnt get the error. After a reset i also didnt get the error. I just assumed that was a one time thing.
Does the thing you describe happen often or did you see it once?

Yeah it was exactly as you described,
Yeah I also Force Stopped my xperia, and turned it off too, and it seems to be fine now. I wouldn't mind being able to turn it back on but with Android Device Manager doing the same thing, I'm a little more okay with it.

"Yeah I also Force Stopped my xperia"
What do you mean? Im afraid I dont follow. To force stop means to kill an app thus i dont understand what did you kill exactly? Do you mean you reset your phone or...?
Anyway, I hope you got your problem solved. If not, be more, much more specific next time. The devil is in the details, so if you are asking for help provide as many as you can, it help people to help you.

How to re-enable Motion Sense?

Just got my Pixel 4 XL, was messing around with a bunch of settings, on how to potentially save battery life, and turned a bunch of stuff off, but now I am not sure what setting I changed, by Motion Sense doesn't seem to be working?
Settings
System
Motion Sense ( greyed out )
I just looked it up, apparently with airplane mode on it doesn't work.
They should change the name of airplane mode, since it doesn't actually shut off everything. Apparently, after enabling airplane mode, wifi can be turned back on, which is obviously counterintuitive to what it was created for. I don't remember that always being the case, so I can only assume that they reverted that when planes started offering Wi-Fi. Needless to say, it's quite natural that the radar won't work with airplane mode enabled.

It's always been able to do that. Original reason for airplane mode is to turn off mobile service. Which is fine because a lot of newer planes don't even have TVs and ask you to connect to WiFi for in-flight entertainment. All the other wireless stuff just fell into it.
