[Q] Cannot disable mobile data - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

I am on the Verizon 2gb plan and typically use .5 -> 1.0 Gb per month. This has been for at least 6 months now. My billing cycle starts on the 7th and today when I checked my data usage I had already used about .5 Gb. Upon looking further I found that almost all of this was used by my SiriusXM app. Now, here's the thing, I have used this app for a long time. I only use it at home when I work in the evenings. I am always connected to my WiFi when home. Then I remembered I had noticed one time that I was home and saw at the top the screen the up/down data icon, then "3g", then the WiFi icon. I didn't give it much thought, but given this latest development I've been watching it and notice that it does the same thing on occasion. This is odd for 2 reasons. I have 4g coverage, and it should be off when connected via WiFi. If they are both on how do I know where the data is coming from?
This started after the last update from Verizon (I am not rooted). So I checked with them, but they had no knowledge of this and could only offer a "master reset". I declined. So, I thought in the meantime I would just turn off mobile data to be save. So I pull down from the top and turn it off in the bar at the top. It stays off until the screen times out or I plug in the charger, then it comes back on. I even set up a rule in tasker to turn it off when connected to WiFi, no joy. This is the ONLY tasker rule by the way, it wasn't even on the phone before this.
So, has anybody seen this and can you offer some suggestions?
Thanks,
Jim

Data connection lost during GPS nav?

Hello all,
I was just wondering if anyone else has seen this.
Randomly while using GPS navigation my phone will loose data connection.
Will still have signal just no internet.
Have to quit nav then re-enable data in settings and try again or reboot the device.
At the same time I have a sensation right next to me with no problems at all.
Also sometimes I notice if I drive thru a area with no coverage the phone wont get signal back on its own again also requiring a reboot.
An ideas?
I've seen that one as well among many other network issues in this phone.
Yet, in my situation both data and network will return if you wait some seconds/ minutes. No need for any intervention.
Sent from my HTC One S using XDA
I have seen this as well, had to enter airplane mode to get the radio to reboot.
Whats weird I noticed too if not actively using GPS or streaming I don't have the problem.
Will make the 30 min trip home and not be singed out of talk and have good signal too.
On my next trip will try with searching directly thru maps rather then using shortcut and see if that makes a difference. Was on a short trip 2 days ago with another one of these of my friends and she didn't have the problem but I used shortcut and she did direct search. Only difference there.
This happens to me too :s
Just also tried doing a master reset and testing it without even signing into google account or any applications and it did the same thing.
Oddly enough I then signed in, downloaded slacker radio, speed test, battery notif, and telenav.
Over a 18 minute drive with streaming slacker music and navigation by telenav it worked ok.
Later on my way home I didn't have slacker running just Telenav over a different trip route about 16 minues and it happened again.
Just seems like anytime running GPS it will randomly loose data.
Turning off the GPS nav program for a minute gets data back again.
Are you using an EU based rom? I had that problem too with those on my US One S
Hey, I must admit GPS on mine is awesome, However i have one annoying bug...
When using google navigation, The maps fail to rotate towards the direction im in, For example, On any other sat nav, Me (the arrow) is always facing straight ahead.. With google navigation this doesnt work,
Earlier today i was driving but the map was upside down and because it was upside down, Left became right and vice versa.. It was a real pain in the ass.. and the volume is so quiet too, It took me 1hour to do a 20minute journey..
Someone tell me theres a solution to this, without having to pay for an alternative sat nav app

With mine I am running 100% stock. Didn't root, unlock, or make any modifications for it.
Really annoying.
It is very odd that for instance into work about a 30 minute drive it worked fine with streaming music no problem all the way in.
To another destination about18 minutes got about 10 minutes into the drive, music stopped playing 4g had a arrow stuck up and grey down arrow. With about a minute or 2 lost 4g connection and just bars. 4 minutes later no 4g back. Quit GPS Nav withing about 30 seconds got 4g back again.

I don't have the One S (yet), but if it's anything like other Android phones, you need to touch the compass icon (red and white arrows) on the nav screen to change modes.
Tested on way home with just on 2g only and didn't seem to have the problem that way.
But phone also didn't get as hot on 2g only even though was using GPS nav and streaming music.
Think I am going to call them on monday to see if I can get them to replace the phone.
Just stumbled across someone else that I know from school that has had the same problem with it dropping randomly with GPS use only.
No pattern as to a cause though.
Seems like I don't have this problem if I use 2g only though.

it really seems that in all communication issues we have with this phone, 2G is a solution, yet, it's slow and cannot provide data while speaking...

Old thread, I know. I'm experiencing something like this on my rooted 3G VZW Droid Incredible...
As of a few days ago, built-in Navigation app fails with "Data connection reset" (or maybe "Data connection lost"). I have rebooted phone, tried to get directions at different times of day, to and from different locations. Steps to reproduce-- start Navigation app. Enter destination. It shows map and my current (correct) GPS location in dimmed out map, while a "connecting" message appears on top. After about 60 seconds, voice says that data connection has been lost, and the spinner continues to spin indefinitely. If I exit that screen and try again, I get same results. I use Navigation 2-3 times per day, and it has worked well for the past 2+ years. This problem is very new. I have killed app and restarted, and I have hard-reset device and tried as well. Same results each time. I have not made any updates to the phone recently, and have not added any new apps. Based on the "data connection lost" message, it gives me the impression that the server side is hanging up on the request for directions. Or???

AOKP JB 4.1.2 Mobile data dropping and not reconnecting

I’m currently using AOKP Jellybean 4.1.2, the supposedly stable, reliable milestone version found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1804223
I'll try to be as thorough as possible in hopes that someone will respond and know what to do. I apologize in advance for being long-winded.
I didn’t have any issues last night when I first flashed the rom. I was able to watch youtube videos using the mobile data. I was also able to turn on wifi to sync some files from my dropbox to my phone, and then turn off the wifi with no issues. However, today after connecting to a wifi network to download a few things and browse the web, I disconnected from the wireless network and the mobile data curiously did not start up again. I DO have cellular service (3-4 bars), and I can make phone calls and check my voicemail by pressing and holding 1 on the keypad, but my mobile data doesn’t work. I looked around for some solutions, and I've since restarted my device several times, tried toggling airplane mode on and off, and did several combinations of reboots with airplane on/off and no dice.
Everytime I use the toggle in the notificaton bar area to turn off wifi, my internet connection goes with it. It says “no internet connection” in the notification background at the bottom of the screen. Once I turn wifi on, I get my internet back and it says “at&t” at the bottom, but I don’t actually get mobile data because apps like “At&t Visual Voicemail” which require mobile data to function don’t work.
I tried flashing the 1.85 radio to see if it would connect to mobile data, and same issue persisted after reboot and dalvik/cache clean. After that failed, I flashed the 2.20 radio + RIL zip files seperately (which is what I understand came with the rom), and still no dice.
For reference, my HTC One X was rooted with 1.73 firmware (I never tried to update it until last night). I did the CID spoof method to unlock my bootloader, and installed the newest version of TWRP on it. I flashed the rom and the gapps package. I used TiBu to restore program settings and a handful of my out of market apps, and the rest of my purchased apps downloaded automatically from the market after connecting with my google account. I had literally just finished reinstalling the last of my apps today via wifi when this issue started to happen.
I'd really prefer a practical method of getting this fixed that doesn't involve starting over with a fresh rom install. Reflashing at this point would be something of a nuisance since I don’t have much free time to begin with. And hey, it took a long time to load up all of my apps just right
However, if there is no other fix that anyone is aware of, I guess I could reflash or in the worst case try a different rom. It’s a shame because the rom otherwise is really smooth and runs great on the phone, in addition to not using a whole lot of resources and having a decent battery life.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions and solutions.
Here is an image of my battery drain screen showing what my mobile data is supposedly doing despite not being able to get a true data connection. Even with my wifi off, there is supposedly medium mobile signal.
And attached is another image of what happens when I turn my wifi off. I pulled the notification pane down and you can see that it says "no internet connection" at the bottom. Also, you can't really see it in that cap, but the mobile data bars behind the notification area are colored white, and there isn't any "H+", "4G", or "LTE" notifiers visible.
Edit: Attached a third image showing the "white" signal bars (i.e. no data connection). Yes, my mobile data is turned on, and I'm obviously not in airplane mode.
I figured it out eventually for anyone interested... Apparently the APN were not set. They existed on the APN list but were not visible due to a glitch in the ROM I guess. I had to add a custom APN and then the other ones suddenly appeared.
Thanks anyway.

[Q] Constantly loosing connection

Almost since I got my nexus 5 last year it has been loosing its connection about two times per day. It does this in three different ways.
1. total loss. The little outline of a triangle appears and a notification that I have lost my connection. Clicking the notification opens the manual selection of networks. I select the network and all is fine.
2. full connection with an exclamation mark. solves it self by waiting for a while.
3. full connection with H/3G but when trying to access the internet there is no connection. This one is really weird. The solution here is top open the quick settings, select flight mode, which greys out the connectivity triangle but keeps the H or 3G part white on top of the greyed out triangle that has a slash over it. About a minute later the H or 3G disappears and I can turn off aeroplane mode. This either restores the connection or jumps to problem one.
First I thought its a hardware problem, but since I don't want to part with my phone I never sent it back to google for fixing.
When android 5.1 was released I installed that manually and surprisingly did not have any problems at all after this. But then I went abroad and using the same sim connected to a local network in the country I went to. It took 4 tries to join one of those networks. When I then came home this problem started again.
My thought is that there is some setting that should be there that stayed from my trip. I have tried clearing all caches from the storage in settings and the dalvik cache. No difference. I'm not to keen on re-installing my phone again. So my question is, has this happened to anyone else? Did you solve it? Is there something I can do to remove all previous settings for the network to make it work again? Other suggestions?
This happens to me, at least 4 times a day for me, it has only been doing it since I installed 5.1 on my nexus 5, which was a brand new one from Google since I smashed my screen and they just gave me a new one, I'm in the UK btw, not sure where you are but it does take forever to connect to mobile network when I turn wifi off too.
I constantly lose connection at my house going from E to H+ to LTE throughout the day

I'm in Spain.
For me it happened before 5.1 as well. But 5.1 fixed it temporarily, until I travelled with my phone. Have you had to switch to another network with that phone?
For some reason when manually looking for a network it seems to be running on a timeout function because it takes me 60 seconds to get the list, always. This feels like a very antique solution, they should just populate the list as a network is found like wifi does it.

Bluetooth causing extremely slow wifi

So I've had my m8 since launch, about May of 2014. I've never once had a problem with my wifi, until last week. All of a sudden, I noticed all of my wifi connections (home, work, etc) are all extremely slow. Speed tests are barely getting 1mbps down or up, and the test itself is very erratic, bobbing up and down the whole time. All my other devices are fine, and nothing with any of my wifi connections has changed. I uninstalled about 3 apps that I had installed within the last month, with no change. Verizon sent me a replacement m8, and I got it yesterday, loaded up all my stuff, and low and behold, still slow wifi.
After talking with numerous Verizon techs, they can't solve it, even after multiple factory resets. However, this morning I saw a post while googling it, not an m8 but still android. They said that if Bluetooth is on, but not connected to a device, it could cause issues. So I turned my bluetooth off, and speeds were perfect, getting exactly what my internet connection is. Turned it back on, and back to 1mbps.
So one, why is this happening? I've read that the bluetooth and wifi antennas are the same, and that could cause interference, but it should not be this bad. Second, why did this just now all of a sudden start? I didn't usually leave bluetooth on, but I got a new car about 3 months ago, and decided to leave it on to automatically connect when I'm driving. But it was fine until last week, why the change?
Have you discovered anything new? I've had my Verizon m8 since April 2014 and have always left bluetooth on for my fitbit to sync. I only recently started having problems and can't identify any recent update that happened this month that would cause it. When bluetooth is on and a device is connected my wifi performance is very slow - 100+ ms ping, 1-2Mbps up/down doing a speedtest. Turn bluetooth off and speed test again then wifi performance jumps to 20Mbps up/down with 12ms ping times to the same speedtest server.
I have factory reset my phone 3 times, changed wifi channels, tried 2 different routers and 1 access point. None of the wifi changes affected speeds until bluetooth was turned off. It seems to be a little quicker 3-5 Mbps with bluetooth on and no devices paired but still that's not acceptable.

I too have had bluetooth on for months to be able to connect to my car, never had a problem until about a month or so ago. I did two factory resets, and everything seemed to work fine, but after a day or so, when all my apps were back on the phone, it would start up again. I have a hard time believing a specific app is doing this, unless it was one of the HTC Home updates or something.
Verizon sent me a replacement M8, I got all my apps on it, and the same thing, after a day or so it's super slow with Bluetooth on, horrible ping and less than 2mbps down and up.
So then I contacted HTC directly, did all their troubleshooting, factory reset, and it's still there. They sent me a replacement as well. I turned it on, but did not put my sim into it. I spent 2 days with it, and only downloaded the Speedtest app, nothing else. Speeds are fine with bluetooth on. I then downloaded the rest of my apps (I actually do have quite a few apps, so if it's one of them it will be a pain to figure out which one). It's been two days now and speeds are still good with bluetooth on. Later today I'm going to offically move over to this phone and put my sim in it.
It's just really frustrating to keep turning bluetooth off and on again, and there should be no reason for this to be happening out of the blue all of a sudden.

Strange issue, but from how you described it, it must be a 3rd party application. What I would do in this situation, is do the factory reset, and download 5 apps at a time. Until you narrow it down to the 5 apps that are causing the issue, then you can narrow it down much easier out of the 5 applications. A pain, yes. but once you figure out the app that's causing the issue, you may decide you don't need it, or you only use it once in awhile and can remove it, until you need it, or possibly download an app ops application from the Playstore and remove the Bluetooth permissions and see if that fixes it.
Best of luck.
Seems to help...
I just tried the solution offered in another forum (xda won't let me post the link so I'll copy and paste the information here:
Open page with the available "Wi-Fi" networks (Settings, WI-FI)
Tap on the "3 dots" in the upper right corner
"Wi-Fi Direct"
Tap on the "3 dots" in the upper right corner
"Rename device"
Replace "Android_ed2c" with "HTC One" (or whatever you want) and hit "OK"
Before doing this I had a 300ms ping when Bluetooth is on, and very low bandwidth. Now with Bluetooth on the wifi ping is around 50ms (normal for my home internet) and the bandwidth is back to normal. Time will tell if it sticks, but so far so good!
So I had been running all my apps on my replacement phone for about a week now, and have had no problems. The other day I officially swapped my sim card into this new phone, and for two days now, it's been fine. Bluetooth and wifi are on constantly, and I see no issues with bandwidth. So who knows why the last two devices had a problem, but for now it seems to be fixed.
Having the same issue, originally posted on reddit and then found this thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/techsupport/comments/3kv6z6/wifi_issues_with_multiple_phones/
Turned off bluetooth and it's fine... Will be experimenting with my gf's m8 this weekend.

Same HTC M8 issue - very slow WiFi when Bluetooth is running
Same problem on an HTC M8... speedof_dot_me speed test shows 96 ms latency with D/L at 0.07 mbps (really!) on an 11 mbps router. Turned off Bluetooth, and voilla! Latency dropped by 85% and WiFi speeds increased by a factor of 60! I suspect an HTC issue since an August or September update... since this wasn't occurring prior to August.
Verizon sent me a replacement M8 that was on 4.x.x android. I updated via on-air update (not rooted) to Lollipop and installed all my apps. Everything was fine. That night, it did a security update and, since then, my wifi+bluetooth were horked when turned on together.
Do, I did a factory reset (which doesn't undo the updates), but since doing the factory reset and installing just the basic Play-store updates 24 hours ago, the problem is not back.
I'm going to slowly add back my normal apps this time.
Solved on one plus one
Hello, i had since two weeks the similar issue. when bluetooth is switchef on (unconnected), wifi is very slow. in the past this different, so no issue with hardware and frequencies. Finally, I found out that it was linked to an App that accesses Bluetooth.
In my case it was the App Accu-Chek, I read in a big forum that it was linked to a Garmin app.
Uninstalling the App solved the issue.
My wife has a similar issue on Stock Galaxy S4 mini with that App.
This is definitely app-related. I tried force closing out of a bunch of apps that weren't related to the video I was playing and it seemed to fix the bandwidth issue with bluetooth enabled. Guess I'll need to experiment with closing certain apps until I find the culprit.
I was having this same problem. It looks like the RetailMeNot App was the culprit for me.

You sir deserve a cookie. Thanks for pointing out the worst app of 2015.
Solved on my Phone!
I used to have the same problem. I am having a Sony Xperia Z1 Compact and a Smartband Talk. At the beginning everything was fine but after sometime (strongly caused by a software related issue) I begin to face the same problem. While bluetooth is on WiFi bandwith dropped to a very little amount (around 0,02- 0,01 Mbits/s). Then I read somewhere, about how to verify whether it is a software or hardware issue via checking it in the Safe Mode. So I unpaired by smartband talk and uninstalled the smartband talk software (smartband talk requires a bluetooth connection for functioning). Then restarted my phone in to safe mode by tapping and holding the power off on the shutdown menu. I downloaded the smartband talk software and turned on my bluetooth and paired my smartband talk again. Then restarted my phone in to normal mode. And voila, problem solved.
It is not a guaranteed method but worth to try.
Wish you good luck.

[6039s] Google Play (I think) wakelock issue

I can't figure this out to save my life. 6039s Android 6. No root. No special mods. Nothing. Bone stock.
In the middle of the day today I suddenly started getting a horrendous wakelock. I thought it was a Google Play issue but it turned out that it's some kind of mobile data issue.
My LTE connection isn't working right. It's slow for some apps and non existent for others.
For instance my sports score app loads at 2G speeds. My web browser seems to work okay. But my t mobile tuesday's app gives me a big warning that I'm not connected to the internet at all. And the Google Play app gives me all kinds of warning that I need to have background data enabled to use Play, but background data IS enabled.
Making matters worse, when this issue is happening my phone enters a miserable and unstoppable wake lock that drains the battery so fast it hard to even charge it. And it saps up the system resources to heavily that the phone slows down to a crawl and can't be used for anything else. Not to mention the phone gets insanely hot from the excess processing. Could a tower issue that's causing a connection problem cause such a wakelock?
I tried doing a reset of the radio connections in settings, but I don't think it actually did anything because all my settings and connections were still there. Still had my wifi password, BT connections, etc.
I tried wiping cache in recovery but it didn't work. Says it did it. But on reboot I didn't get the "app 1 of 82 is updating". So I don't think it actually did that either.
I cannot figure this out to save my life.
I thought maybe it was a tower issue. But my wife has the exact same phone and it's working fine. I called T Mobile and they said they are having a tower problem near my house, but still...wife's phone is fine. And I've seen this problem now in 3 different locations across about a 5-6 mile range. So I have to have been on more than 1 tower in that time.
When I turn on wifi and have a wifi connection the problem goes away entirely. That's telling me that the problem is the system getting upset that it doesn't have a solid internet connection. Changing the connection to 3G or 2G does not solve the issue.
The problem lasted the whole second half of yesterday, was fine overnight while I left wifi on, was fine on day 2 when I was back to 4G networks, and then suddenly is back again.
Anyone got any ideas or suggestions?
Is there some server android is trying to stay in constant contact with that I can block the connection to? Perhaps limit background data to something? I can't figure out what.
This update was irrelevant. Turned out to be a red herring. Still having the problem.
Nevermind this update. STill having the problem
I give up. I'm about to throw the phone against a wall to smash it. The system has become totally loused up. Whenever it goes into these goofy wakelock states the system is so overtaxed that everything takes forever to process. Nothing solves it.
And its' getting worse. Now I have oddly limited connectivity.
T Mobile's tech support was useless. They had me thinking it was a tower issue. That was 3 days ago. Now suddenly they have no records of a tower issue in my area over the last week.
I can make voice calls. But I cant' send text messages. I can use my web browser to search the internet, but not SOME apps that need data like a weather app or Google Play. Other apps work fine to pull data.
Yet it says I have an LTE connection the whole time.
This is the single weirdest issue I've ever seen on Android.
What in the hell could have just jumped in out of nowhere and started causing these issues?
