You don't need the 4g toggle widget on. Even if it is off it will auto turn back on after a reboot.
I know, and it kills the battery how do I fix it? It keeps scanning

See first post.
Use the Wireless settings menu to enable and disable 4G. That will keep it from restarting after reboots.
How often do you reboot anyway? I'd certainly like to see a fix, but I don't have any problem just remembering to turn it off after a reboot if I don't want it on. It's a small price to pay to have more convenient access to 4G toggling (right in the notification screen, as well as in Quick Settings).

The issue isn't just remembering to turn it off, there's another issue here. The evo doesn't turn off 4g correctly. Test it yourself. Turn off 4g, then wait a while, and check an alogcat log. You'll see that it still tries to connect and scan for 4g every few minutes, only to end up erroring out (because 4g was turned "off"). This is a potential battery drainer also.

Are you using a rooted phone? if so what rom and what else have you added to it. Plus, if this is the issue, uninstall and use HTC sense, if it sill does it. then maybe your hitting the button?
do you have the 4g switch on your homepage? i heard that can cause problems when launcherpro crashes and reloads your 4g will be on. something worth looking at.
If you're using the non HTC 4g widget that was floating around, one of the bugs it has is it always starts off as "ON" when you boot...
It happened to me that the GPS turned on automatically, and I didn't open maps or anything, draining my battery. So when it starts doing this funcky stuff, just reboot.
I was rooted but now I'm not so I am back to stock. I did install the custom widget that was posted on this forum but no longer have it installed as I am using the one from Switch Pro now. I uninstalled the other one.
I had the same problem after installing the new SwitchPro Widgets. I resolved it by turning off the 4g Network notification. Settings>Wireless&Networks>4g Settings>Network Notification.
But doesn't that just turn off the notification? I don't want the radio coming on when I don't need it.
Turning off the notification caused the 4g to not auto enable, for me. I can't say why, just that it worked. I never saw the auto enable issue prior to installing SwitchPro Widgets, which I think are great by the way, so I'm not bashing the product.
I will give that a shot.
Thanks.
You're not alone
Was having the same problem with SwitchPro for my rooted incredible (also not 4g but 3g). I think it had something to do with how this and maybe other apps poll/access the settings for mobile network. Uninstalled switchpro and all is better.
its too bad i love the interface of switchpro
I had the same issue. I turn off 4G notification and everything is good now.
I use Switchpro.
Thanks, I didn't know what was turning on my 4G by itself, but now I know SwitchPro is the culprit.

That doesn't work. I don't even have the notification turned on and it still does it. It's because of SwitchPro as it never turned on automatically until I installed it.

Happened to me too, but he's somewhat right.

Well this turn on/off notification kinda work but only for a while...
If you do the trick, 4G won't tun on automatically anymore. But if you manually turn on 4G and then turn off and reboot your phone (actually you don't need to reboot, a flight mode is enough to show the effect), 4G will be turned on automatically again...
Again, non of the 3rd party switches figured out how exactly this 4G switch work.

This is also how i did it.
Can this be done? I tried switching on airplane mode, and then enabling Wifi/BT individually -- won't let me.
So, how do I turn off the cell radio, but turn on Wifi to take advantage in-flight wifi?
Also, when using local media, I'd like to sometimes turn off the cell radio to save power but listen with my BT headset.
I'm probably a total dufus and this is obvious, but I can't find it. This was easy to control on my WM Omnia II. I still like my Epic a bajillion times better, but this is a bit annoying.
Airplane mode cuts off all communications. Hence, "airplane mode"
There's some apps that'll let you do that, as well as Froyo when we get it officially, or if you want to run a leaked version.

Tasker will allow you to switch off the radio only. You would have to just set up a widget for that particular task.
In the leaked froyo, I had airplane mode on to test it and I put the wifi on byaccident and it was working with no cell signal, but I figured it was just a bug with it considering its beta and when ever I did tht before, airplane mode will cut off. I'm glad to know its a part of froyo now...that's going to come in handy

I'm running Android 2.2 and it isn't working for me -- once airplane mode is enabled, Wifi and BT will not turn on.
I would hope that in a future version of Android they will simply add the cell radio to the icons so it can be turned off like the others.
Can't you go to your settings, under wireless and networks, and disable 3g data?

You can however it will still be looking for a cell signal to use for voice.
Exactly. I don't get reception in the building I work in, so I don't want it to drain the battery trying to find signal.
I'm running stock EC05 and I can turn wifi on in airplane mode (I can't speak for bluetooth though). GPS, however, does not work once you turn airplane mode on.

That's odd. I am running SFR 1.1.1 and if I turn on airplane mode and then push the Wifi icon, the text changes to "on" but the blue light never turns on -- it's as if it's trying to turn on but can't.
GPS works just fine -- it never switches off in the first place when I turn on airplane mode.

That's because GPS is rx only. It doesn't need to tx to acquire a GPS lock.

I've been trying to figure this out as well as I'm going out of the country and will be carrying my phone.
Only way I found to do it is:
1. In the dialer press###
2. Click view, and write down your MSID# and msn#, than go into edit
3. You will see your phone number and a box on the bottom that says touch here. Touch there.
4. Keypad should appear. Just press enter.
5. Another screen showing your MSID number should come up almost instantly. Press enter again.
6. Back out of this menu and your radio will be off (may turn off sooner, once it's off it's off)
Done
*MUST USE AREA CODE WHEN INPUTTING PHONE NUMBER*
now for the important part.
Turn your radio back on.
1.same as previous steps except instead of just pressing enter when the key pad comes up, input your phone number than press enter.
2. Input your msid number on the second screen and press enter
3. Click done on the main menu. Phone will reset.
Process honestly takes 30 second once you have your msl.
Edit: only issue I have is after the reboot when u turn your radio back on, the phone asks for your gmail password again.

lol really? .... airplane mode turns off ALL phone radios.
Thanks for the love (these are my issues), but it's too little too late. Android has written us off and closed the issue again.
I'm giving up on this one and won't be opening a replacement issue. Clearly the Android team has some hidden agenda (my guess would be a carrier wants to stop users from doing this) and is acting shady about it.
Game over.

airplane mode will not disable wifi. after enabling airplane mode you can connect to a wifi connection. airplane mode is to disable cellular connections...for airplane travel.

Airplane mode disables ALL radios, the permission in question allowed you to keep voice on and data off.

That's funny, last time I flew American, I had my phone in airplane mode, but was still able to connect to wifi. As a matter of fact, I'm sitting in my house with airplane mode on and connected to my wifi network as I'm typing.
I understand that the option is to keep data off and voice on, but don't be such a jerk about something.
Wifi mode gets turned off, but can easily be turned back on even while airplane mode is on.
This topic has nothing to do about wifi! No one cares what you can and can't do... it's about turning off the 3g radio for better battery life and leaving voice on still.

Normally I leave 4G off to save battery, unless I need it. I accidentally turned on airplane mode today, when I turned it off, it automatically started the mobile data service and the 4G service. I am sure 4G service was already off when I first turned on airplane mode.
Does that happen to anyone else? Is there an option somewhere to turn on only mobile data when I turn off airplane mode?
Yep it starts 4G when airplane mode is turned back off, kinda annoying

Are you using Beautiful Widgets toggle widgets by chance? The 4g toggle widget is known to have an issue where if you use it to turn your 4g on and off, 4g will automatically turn on after a reboot even if you turned it off prior to the reboot. Maybe your experiencing something similar?
I am using stock rom with the airplane mode toggle that came with the phone

Ever since I got Cyanogenmod 7 working on my phone, I've had a lot of trouble getting my 3g to toggle back on after turning my screen on. I'm using JD for the toggle so is it a Juice Defender problem or a modem problem?
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
I have the same problem, I just switch to airplane mode and back and it fixes it. It only happens periodically, it works as it should more often then not. I attribute it to CM7 awesomeness. At least JD works, Green Power won't even try to manage the data connection.
Ah I wouldn't have thought to try that. Yeah I love this rom compared to stock so I'm more than willing to put up with a few gripes.

I have this same problem and run JD but it's not a JD problem. I would say it happens to me once or twice a day(usually when the phone is powered on for more than 6 hours without a reboot). A lot of people have this and toggling back and forth between airplane mode fixed the problem pretty damn easily.
If you want a quick way to do this go to
settings
cyanogenmod settings
interface
notification power widget
widget buttons
select airplane mode
Now you have airplane mode in your pull down bar and you can quickly enable it and disable it when this happens.
I have two problems relating to this. My 3g wont turn on automatically when someone sends me an MMS. Usually my stock ROM would turn the 3g on and download the MMS, but now I just receive a text message from a number rather than the name of the contact, and I need to press a Download button to download the picture/MMS. Then I have to turn on my 3G manually, then I have to press the Download button, and only then do I receive the picture/MMS.
Also, It has been happening quite often now. My 3G does not turn on, even when I turn it on manually so I have to reboot my phone an only then will it turn on.
Im using CM7 nightly, latest one up to date on HTC Desire HD.
Hope someone fixes this!
