My data charges depend on the usage and it's very expensive. Sometimes, somehow my data is accidentally turned on. Is there a fool-proof way to ensure that that never happens? Is there an app that ask me to confirm if I am sure that I want to turn on data?
Go on settings
Press "more"
Go on "mobile networks"
And if data enabled is unmarked that means its off

I don't want to always go through those steps to see if it's off.
And, it doesn't really ensures that it never gets turned on.
Is there another way?

Of course it does, why won't it?
Also if u don't want to go through all those steps u can use widgets
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I can just press data enabled and it toggles on/off
Also next time post in the q&a section

But if you really really want to make sure pop out your sim and that should work trololol but seriously those widgets work! I used them before :thumbup:

Airplane mode... haha that will be sure you wont have data charges!!! lol
I'm guessing you could make a null APN and simply select it, that way your device shouldn't be able to use data until you choose the right APN.
^^ This will definately work.

Quick settings by dragging the top nav bar down.
And just press the mobile data icon if it is on to turn it off.

What about using Tasker or Llama to set up an event to disable mobile data if it is on?

hi
I'm on SyNthetic_aospX mytouch 4G for 2 weeks. Everything is fantastics, then I started to get "Data usage warning" couple of days ago, for every one hour. Google it, and apparently there is an orange and/or red horizontal line that I can configure. I cannot find such horizontal line. No data setting on menu/setting either. Couldn't find "Set mobile data limit". Turning off "Data statistis" don't help either.
Appreciate any help and/or pointers.

Thanks for your response. In my data usage, I cannot set any limit. I also cannot change range of "Data usage cycle". Is there something extra I should install?? Enclose is my screenshot. My choices of settings/menu are below, same with both "Data statistics" on or off. Attach screen shot too...
1. Data Roaming
2. Restrict Background
3. Show Wi-Fi usage
Try a clean reinstall. Its supposed to look like this...

So i've had the S4 since it got released and i like it,
but for some reason the standby doesnt work at all.. i have it set to turn off the screen after 30 secs of idle and it does not work.
anyone else having this issue?
mine works fine. see what apps have been installed. maybe some app requires not to go in standby and prevents the screen to go off

Have similar problem - screen do not off completely. Does not mateer what time I chose, does not matter if smart stay is on or off. I do not have it's icon visible in the status bar whet it is off. Anyway screen is always on. Any help?
Same problem here. The phone just dims its screen but it never shuts it off.
This is quite annoying when the phone lights up to show the low batt warning and just drains all its remaining energy. Perfect.

Try disabling all smart stay options (smart pause could still be on).

Seems that I found the reason. But still do not have permanent solution. After restart screen went off without problem. After running some application it became constantly on again. When I closed some applications (long press home button and swipe open applications) screen also turned off normally. So probably some application makes such a problem. Have to check which one.

Try to disable all sync and disable location services. See if the battery improves and then activate sync one by one to see the culprit.

But I don't turn any sync or location on ?
any idea ?
Check in Google maps, turn off location history and location reporting. Turn off network location in location settings of it is on. If that doesn't help disable Google now. I had this exact issue and that fixed it.

It's common if you have WiFi and network location checked in your location settings. This forces the phone to randomly use these services, even if you turned them off.

Turn them all off. Reboot the phone and see how it looks in a few hours. It won't show instantly, takes time.
Go into Google Play services and clear data and reboot.

Took the OTA update while keeping root. (I already know what I am potentially giving up and the 'future proof risk' I took, don't plan on being with Verizon too much longer so I said screw it and went with immediate satisfaction)
What I'm trying to find is how to keep Wi-Fi turned off. A quick search hasn't turned up anything. I've gone into settings and made the changes there but wifi wants to keep turning on anyway.
I'm not sure if Verizon/Samsung hardcoded this into the OTA or if an app is deciding to turn it on.
Any suggestions?

Do you know about the Settings --> WiFi --> Advanced ---> Always Allow Scanning ? That keeps WiFi on even if you turn it off for location purposes.
To get Advanced hit the Settings softkey next to the home hard key when in the WiFi screen.
I've got that deselected. I think it's either an app or a Wanam setting.
Trying to see if there is a good app that could report what does what (ie app a is turning on bluetooth and app b is turning on wifi, as an example).
Thanks for the input though.

I noticed the location screen, set to GPS only - it's not true. Verizon Location Services are also running when this option selected.
To use real "GPS only" (hardware) - install power toggles from play store, create toggle w GPS, turn on toggle, accept root access, bingo...
Comment - Over version 4.3 and 4.4.2 GPS hardware is tethered with Verizon Location Services (Big Yuk!!) - as long as you do not go into the phone's location settings and turn the switch on (which forces either google, wifi, and / or Verizon location services to be associated with the hardware GPS) and just use the power toggles GPS option, then you'd be ok...
Accuracy Note - Using the hardware only GPS on a Note 3 does bring you down to and average of 10ft accuracy without AGPS / any other supporting location services. The claims that Verizon, wifi, google location services enhance / refine your experience is most likely a misnomer - Use of a specific GPS program with maps on the device itself are best and just as reliable if not more so... see copilot app
Can someone tell me how to change the menu color. I have seen the power menu it self changed to a brushed metal background and I want to do that for mine but I can't find any answers.
are you talking about from power saving? that changes everything to grayscale.... settings > power saving > power saving mode > turn on grayscale mode

No, just normal. I just want to be able to have a different color power menu screen or maybe even have a picture I took as the menu screen with the power off, reboot, emergency.... Etc... On top of it. Does that make sense?
Sent from my SM-G900V using XDA Free mobile app
Maybe you can post a screen shot of the menu you're talking about? from your last message sounds like when you hold the power button down and the "phone options" pops up. If so, then sounds like you're looking for something from either a custom rom or a theme. If you're on stock, you won't get options like that.

Its not exactly easy to modify system colors. Perhaps an xposed module will be your best bet.
I have not seen an xposed mod that will do that
