Root SOLVED No Background Data?

Hi All,
For some reason the "Background Data" checkbox will not stay checked. This is something new. All along I kept it unchecked unless I wanted to Sync my calendar, contacts or twitter; and also when I went to "Google Play". When I was finished I would uncheck the "Background Data" box to extend battery life. I've been doing this for at least a year and could always enable and disable at will. Now I cannot enable it at all.

My Rom is BACKside CM7.2 (Thank you SammyZ) which I installed a long time ago and I'm sure not an issue.

Any Ideas??:thinking:

Thanks......Tom
 
I have no idea :/ mine is still checked. It might be some app you installed, have you installed any "battery saver" apps??

Sammy,
Thanks for the reply. I haven't made any changes lately except updating "Lookout". I've gone through all the phone settings as well as individual program settings and can't see anything that would cause this. I did notice in phone settings Location and Security the "Use wireless networks" will not stay checked as well. Don't know if that's related to Background Data issue.


Thanks again...............Tom
