Always on mobile data - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717

So on all my other phones I had this option I could toggle. It was a great battery saver also! But it doesn't seem to be on the note? Is there a way to toggle this?
Also any word on missing apps from international ver making it to our phone? Or being ported by a dev?

So that is same thing as enable always on mobile...?
Edit: that just disables data all together...I'm looking for the option enabling always on mobile....what it does is when screen is off for 5 mins it turns ur mobile data off.

Look up 4G toggle on Google Play for quick access to turning mobile data on/off.
Look up Tasker on Google Play to have your phone turn mobile data off when the screen is off.
If not Tasker, you can get GreenPower or JuiceDefender to do it.

[Q] How to turn off the Network

Sorry been looking on how to do it for forever, but can't seem to find it. I om on the tethering plan and already used up my 4 gigs of data so I am close to over using my internet data. How do I turn off the internet, without turning off the actual phone service (like texting and calling).
Thanks!!!!

Settings -> battery & data manager -> data delivery -> uncheck data enabled.

Data Switch Off

Going abroad for 1st time with this phone, how do I completely switch off all data?
Every Android phone is different and this is no exception.
Do all I need to do is go into data manager and switch of in there?

You're using an XT910, so there's a dedicated data toggle widget that works just fine. Otherwise, yes, disable both data and data roaming in the Data Manager settings section.

That's not an option under Wireless & networks (on the XT910, at least). Moto moved it to its own 'Data Manager' section instead.

Yeah thats what I thought, thanks for that.
Bizarrly though my phone doesnt have the toggle widget for data, it was 1st place i looked. its got BT, GPS, Flight Mode, Power Control, Wifi but no data one.
Just put the phone in airplane mode.

That's odd. It is grouped separately from the others, labelled 'Mobile Data Toggle' rather than 'Toggle: [something]' like the rest.

More information plese. What rom, kernel, modem? So you turned both off, and when you lock your phone, both turns on automatically? Do you have installed some app which manages connections, eg juice defender?
i am using the stock rom with cf-root. After i close both wifi and Data button in the notification bar,i lock my phone. When i turn it on again, both bitton have turned.on. i have never use apps like juicedefender.

Wifi keeps turning on

I've searched and the similar threads seem different and don't work with this phone. I turn off Wifi and not long after its on again. I've gone into the Wifi settings and turned everything relevant off but it's still happening. Anyone know wtf?

Sounds like Connection optimizer is on.

Are you rooted? I was on frezza's beast mode kernel, all versions seemed to not allow wifi to shut off. Also had problems staying connected to my home wifi. Now I'm not saying the kernel is the problem but when I restored the stock kernel everything works again. Haven't posted in the developers forum but also haven't seen anyone in there with the same issue.

Yep, go to Settings > Connections tab > More networks > Mobile networks > Connections optimizer to turn it off.

Stop auto connecting to WiFi networks

Sometimes when I leave home I forget to turn my WiFi off and it keeps connecting to any open networks wherever i go. I went into the WiFi settings and there are only a few options there and I tried all different combos but i still keep auto connecting. What am I missing?

Under WiFi settings, goto Advanced, and uncheck "Scanning Always Available", by default this is on, even when WiFi is off.

I think I misunderstood your question...if it's actually connecting to the network, it's because at some point you've connected to it before and it's a saved network. Next time it connects to it, go to WiFi settings and forget the network.
