4G keeps turning on - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727

Title + I've checked all the settings and can't find where this is coming from. It only started when I reinstalled sky ics update. I have a limited plan and mostly use wifi. The 4G turns on even if I'm connected to wifi. I even have background data restricted. Any ideas?

Like using data turning on? Or just the symbol is showing?

Sometimes it's just the symbol but it's hard to say. When I unlock it I hear a tone and the 4G turns on. Both the widget in the notification bar and my other power bar light up the 4G icon and I see the icon up by the battery indicator show up and show data moving.

Your phone will always send data if you have the autosync (in your notification bar or accounts and sync in settings) but it probably won't send much. If your on I cs then you can keep track of your data usage in the settings menu. The third option.......just turn mobile data on and it will start tracking how much you use. If its using a lot then an app (e.g. facebook) is sending data constantly. You can change the apps (whatever one) setting to not auto update or update less often. My 4g icon is on all the time but uses little data. Hope this helps.
And you can turn your data toggle(4g) off when your on wifi or just when you need to check stuff. You'll still get texts. Just won't be using data

It doesn't seem to be using much data, but simply toggling the 4G button doesn't work because it just turns back on by itself. I'd like it to stay off when I set it as off. btw, I'm pretty sure I have no apps set to auto update (I like to have control of what goes on my phone). I'll double check to be sure. Thanks!

Phone reading my texts out loud?

I recently flashed infinity and since then whenever I get a text the message flashes on the screen no matter what app I'm in. It also reads the text out loud if my media volume is up. I don't know if this came with the from or if I changed some settings unknowingly. Has anyone else had this happen?
Check settings-> Accessibility.

Nope accessibility is off and it says I don't have any accessibility apps.
Wipe and reflash. This should solve the issue. Are u using titanium backup?

Have you checked the settings in the messaging app itself?
@vabeach is that an Initial D profile picture?
Sent from my SCH-I510 using xda premium
yes I'm using titanium. And it happened on the 12/04 infinity and after I wiped and flashed the 12/11 infinity. The messaging app itself is just the stock one and I couldn't see any settings about text to voice or anything. Hmm mind boggling.
There's a Text-to-Speech menu under settings as well. Might want to check there.

I would say if it is a T-Mobile app you should contact them to help remove it.

FB Notifications Problem

I am having problems with the Facebook notifications. I can not receive any of them. Its the ROM issue, because my wife can receive notifications and her phone is not even rooted. Anyone having the same problem or know how to troubleshoot?
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium
Its not a rom issue...if you've never signed into Facebook on a blackberry, notifications will not work! Sign onto a blackberry and you will start getting them on your android...idk why it works but it does

I just downloaded FB for the hell of it - have you gone into facebook > settings and checked "Notifications' active, then down to 'Notification ringtone' and set a tone? It was defaulted to 'Silent' on my phone.
Yeah all those are good. I just can't get the notifications on the status bar

@nativesmiley: Facebook push notifications will work where they show in status bar.
Here is what I did that eventually got it working -
Logged into FB on computer - In 'Account Settings' > 'Mobile Settings' - I activated my phone number.
In FB app on phone - went to Settings > 'Refresh interval' - Set it to 'Never' and Notifications set to 'Active'.
Clicked the three bars in top left corner, scrolled down to the bottom, click 'Account'. Then 'Account settings'. Then 'Security'. Enabled 'Email Login Notifications'.
You should compare these settings to your wife's phone.
I am also on Valhalla Black.

Have you installed the facebook app and logged in?
Check if your wifi/data is turned on, you are not getting any notification if you are not online.
Go to facebook app and press menu->settings, check if notifications is active.
If still not getting notifications. Go to system settings -> accounts & sunc settings. Check if background data and auto-sync is on.
Thanks for help harry but they are both checked.....:-(

Sorry for resurrecting an old thread but I could not get an answer in the forum. I have the same problem, I am using AOKP 4.2.2 build 5 ROM and although the "access to my location" is off, the GPS lock icon appears constantly in the status bar and in the notification bar as "location set by GPS". I've killed all apps but it didn't help. Any thoughts?
I had this gps problem too. It was always on and I could not close it. Only a power off would close it. Found out that the app yahoo weather was causing it. Uninstalled it and problem fix.
