Hello,
after the last Droid Ultra Update to 4.4.4 I've started having this weird behavior. I'm a T-Mobile, locked bootloader.
When I'm connected to a WiFi network, the phone status bars shows signal strenght + the LTE or HSDPA symbols
When I'm NOT connect to a WiFi network the LTE or H(SDPA) icon goes away... I can do phone calls but mobile data is indeed disabled. I've double checked all the settings menu entries and data should be enabled - also the APN settings are fine ... even so the LTE/H icons appears only once I connect to WiFi.
It' driving me crazy.
Thanks.
When you turn on hotspot 4GLTE logo shows up, right? Unfortunate for everyone. It is some problem with the system which Verizon has populated the build.prop to disable the data outside of Verizon. Nothing could be done, as far as I could tell, until root is achieved (bootloader unlock).

Hi, I've been trying to connect my captivate to my network's WAP connection but not been able so far.
My Captivate's info:
Baseband Version: I897UCJH7 (the stock version)
Kernel Version: Voodoo Lagfix
Rooted
I bought it unlocked in the US, inserted my sim card (Wap was working in 3G on my previous Nokia N95), I configured the APN info to the Captivate correctly, then tryed to open a site with no luck. No internet and no MMS.
I started investigating and found that the Network operators menu won't let me choose any of the local networks as a "Default Setup" button is greyed out. I thought this must be an other AT&T lock and tryed to solve this by rooting the phone as I had no idea what that is for but it didn't help.
Ancel's 3G Network works in 2100Mhz. In the about section Mobile network type goes from UMTS to EDGE to HDSPA all the time, Service State "In service" and Mobile Network State from connecting to disconnected all the time.
When I start sending a MMS, Mobile Network State goes to "connected", the phone displays a little 3G icon with two grey arrows at the top of the screen, but the MMS never sends. The icon eventually goes away, the Mobile Network State goes back to disconnected and connecting and the message never gets "sent".
Can anyone help me? Thank you.

here's the issue: when I'm not connected to home network, wifi won't transmit/receive data. I have /!\ sign in the taskbar with explanation "data disconnected because your phone is in roaming network". No matter what I do, data will not work over wifi. The same wifi AP works perfectly when in home network... anyone have this problem? any clue how to solve it?
Try enabling data roaming. Setting>Wireless Networks>Mobile Network Settings
Check "Data Roaming" Connect to data services when roaming
Having a similar issue. I'm about 300 miles from home (Chicago) in Door County WI. Weak Edge signal here. Data works over WiFi, but not over Edge. I continually get a notification saying "You have lost data connectivity because you left your home network with data roaming disabled". I now have it enabled, but the message sounds like I am SOL because I should have made the change before leaving.
To clarify, I enabled roaming 1-1/2 days ago, restarted several times and confirmed the roaming box is still enabled. But I continue to get the lost data notification.
Are you kidding me ATT? Is there no way to fix this without returning home?
Hi,
today I was wondering about that. My N5 still holds a connection to LTE while it uses internet over a WLAN network. Only when I'm getting a call it switches to E/H/3G whatever to build up the phone call. Isn't it wasting battery holding up the LTE connection (LTE needs more power than the rest doesn't it?)?
Do you guys know why its made like this?
Thanks,

Phone calls use data? It should say disconnected. Does it persist after a reboot?

No it doesn't use mobile data. I'm just wondering that its still saying that the network type is LTE, cause when It's connected to a wlan the network usage would only be for phone calls and LTE does only support mobile data but no calls or sms. Just wondering why the network type isn't changing to GPRS or whatever.

Your picture looks normal, this screen shows the data network type, not your cell voice/sms connection. The network is LTE, but is disconnected while you are connected on Wifi.
To see what is happening, look on the status bar. It shows the Wifi icon then the cell signal strength but not LTE. When you disconnect the Wifi, the Wifi icon will disappear and LTE will appear next to the cell signal strength icon. If it is doing that, all is working correctly.

Yup its doing right that.
Still a little weird for me^^
Nvm, thank you guys.
I have a friend who has this phone. The problem is I inputted the data setting for their service provider and it worked for a while, now though it doesn't work. Enabling or disabling the data settings doesn't work and on checking the Testing Menu the phone has not GPRS service and the Roaming shows Roaming also it shows that it has 3g. The 3g symbol shows up in the notification area yet it wont connect however Wifi works and Calling and Sms work as well.
I would factory reset the phone but my friend doesn't want to do that. Is there anyway to fix this.
Hello, I am traveling internationally and have decided to use Wifi Calling to avoid getting charged for international calls.
I turned on wifi calling in the settings and went through the automated setup, and in settings it shows that wifi calling is on, however the wifi calling symbol in the top notification/pull down bar shows that wifi calling is off.
Obviously this makes things very confusing, and I don't know how to tell if calls being made are being made on wifi or if I am being charged per minute on the calls that I make?
Thank you for any help you can provide.
Notes: so far I have restarted the phone, used Sprint's reset to factory settings, updated PRL and Profile multiple times, however the symbol still shows that wifi calling is off while settings state wifi calling is on.
You'll get a little telephone icon in the bar across the top of the screen to the right hand side. When you see that, wifi calling is active and calls are going through that.
The thing with wifi calling is that it can be enabled, but it'll only fully turn on when signal drops below a set point. On earlier firmwares you could just go into airplane mode and enable wifi to force it over, but the latest firmware broke that workaround.
