I'm having a problem with the Indulge trying to toggle data. Every single app I've downloaded to make a Data Toggle widget results in the phone turning off data fine, but being unable to properly restart it.
Juice Defender goes as far as to force me to completely disable it then do a full power cycle of the phone to get internet back, and even then it takes a bit for it to seemingly reconnect.
I know the phone hid (For the love of God, why?) control over Data in the menus. Airplane mode even seems to be wonky to some degree (Web browsing doesn't seem to come back properly, maps and such do), but most importantly it cancels out the ability to get non-data calls.
Effectively, I'm just looking for a way to COMPLETELY kill Data, since the LTE toggle thing re-activates every single time I get a phone call or text. In short, I can't set the phone down because the minute I miss a call or text, the LTE kicks back in and then it's dead in a matter of a couple hours.
Seriously, I'm kind of shocked by how many people state that the battery life on this thing is a "minor" problem; even the reviews seem to downplay it and make it sound like it'll be low at the end of the day, when in reality, even if I'm not running Background Data (God help you if you do!) with LTE you're LUCKY to get 4 hours, followed by a 4 hour charge time.
UNRELATED NOTE: Is there an actual Samsung forum? We really need to start harassing them for a toggle widget. Or at least releasing how to make one to the dev community. A 4G toggle widget would solve all our problems and it's infuriating it doesn't have one - I mean really, is there ANY background app you'd want to be running at 4G? I think the hyper-battery usage is actually acceptable for active 4G, but the fact passive 4G burns just as much is where I draw the line and actually feel upset that I bought this phone. If I didn't already go over the tiny hour talk time limit (how the hell am I supposed to gauge battery with that?) I'd totally return the phone for an Optimus and bide my time for the next LTE phone.. the fact there's no extended battery and none on the horizon is the double kick in the pants.
