Hello,
Whenever I turn off mobile data, I get a popup saying "Unless you connect to a Wi-Fi network, you will not be able to use the Internet...", is there a way to turn this popup feature off?
Thank you in advance.
If you're talking about doing it through the settings, then no. Third party apps have not really worked for me on the S6 when turning data off but you can try some data switching apps from the play store.
even I. hey this annoying pop up .. everytime I. turn off data.

Hopefully this isn't as noobish as it sounds. I am looking for a very specific app, I need an app that turns my 3G network off and turns it on perhaps every hour, just long enough for my e-mail to sync, then turns it off again. I have tried juice defender, which I assume worked but I couldn't test it because it turned the data back on everytime the screen was on. Sometimes I just want my phone to receive texts and calls and leave the data (and the battery) for when I need it.
I found another app, that supposedly didn't turn the network off but changed some verification settings, this app didn't work (I could still browse the internet and refresh email.)
I currently use quick settings in order to quickly turn my data off, but I would like something that did it automatically.
Some help would be nice, if you need any more info let me know.
So my phone just started showing this behavior like a day or two ago. It's doing it right now. Both my Wifi and 4G icons appear in the notification bar. The 4G icon isn't showing activity (the download and upload arrows are dimmed), BUT if I go to my "Phone Info" app, and go to Phone Information it shows:
GSM service: In service
GPRS service: Connected
Network Type: HSDPA
Before whenever I was on Wifi only the Wifi icon would show up, and Phone Info would show GPRS Service as : Disconnected, i.e. normal behavior. Now it appears there is a conflict somewhere and the 4G network is showing as connected even when wifi is on.
Now, I did make some changes recently:
1) Temp-rooted and pm disabled a bunch of bloatware - this was like 4 or 5 days ago and I didn't have the problem at all so I'm not sure if it's related.
2) I unchecked Wireless Settings > Mobile Networks > "Enable always on mobile data" - Thought it might save battery when in sleep mode.
I think the problem started after #2. I've since checked that option back on, restarted, airplane mode, battery pull etc., but it's still exhibiting the same behavior. I've never seen this happen on any of my past Android devices (a lot). If I go to the Quick Settings it shoes Mobile Network is OFF but it IS checked. It's really confusing. When you turn Wifi on, Mobile network should disconnect, but according to phone Info, mine is on and I've been getting "network issue, try again" in the Market, and "Network Communication issues" in the Speedtest app so clearly something is being affected.
This has been my ONLY problem with my Sensation thus far, and the fact that it JUST started doing this makes me wonder what I could have done to affect it.
Thoughts?
EDIT: Every once in awhile the 4G icon WILL disappear leaving only Wifi on, and Phone info shows GPRS service: Disconnected, but eventually the 4G/2G icon comes back and Phone info shows GPRS service: Connected, so it keeps trying/turning itself on even though my Wifi is connected. WTF!
If you're on a t mo device it's because of the my device app. Open and close it or end the process in system panel and it should fix the problem.
I believe this is somewhat normal...
I have voice only plan and disabled data through the *#*#INFO#*#* menus. The only way I can get data is through Wifi, which I always have enabled, regardless when I go to About Phone -> Network, I see mobile network type HSDPA.
It seems like voice is going through the 3G/4G but not any data. Not sure why you do get the 4G popping up, I sure don't.

Thanks! I tracked down the second package name for "My Account" (one is for My Account, one is for My device), disabled and rebooted. So far so good; Wifi is connected, no 4G icon, and Phone info shows GPRS service: Disconnected as it should. I had already disabled one package but not the other. I can live w/o the My account feature for a bit and I'll keep an eye out to see if the problem returns.

You phone will always connect to data whn using Tmobile apps such as my account app. Its because they need network data, not web data, to get their info like your usage, and billing. If you manually shut of data and turn wifi on and try to open the my account app, it will give you error.
Just because you turn Wifi on, it doesnt make the data shut off. It just connects to WIFI because its a stronger signal. It will still access the 4G data for netork required information. You can manually shut off mobile data and then turn on wifi if you want.
^This is true, I'm manually switching 4G off when connected to WiFi.

I realize this, however I was never trying to use the T-mobile apps.

Of course it does. What would be the point in having BOTH Wifi and 4g/3g/EDGE data on at the same time, all the time? That would be a HUGE drain on your battery if it were constantly using both radios and connected to/searching for both networks. When you turn Wifi on, the mobile data radio gets turned off. When you de-activate Wifi, mobile data turns back on. This is why you get much better battery life on Wifi because the 4g/3g radio gets turned off. Plus, both can't be connected at the same time or else there would be routing problems i.e., it would get confused as to which connection to use.
This is exactly what happened to my phone in that that both WERE on at the same time and it was causing no traffic to get in/out and I couldn't figure out why. Disabling the two t-mobile My Account packages solved it so it seems like
one was trying to connect in the background and couldn't but then froze the radio state. I'm not gonna re-enable the app to confirm but IIRC when you're on Wifi and fire up the My Account app, it either prompts you to turn off wifi, or it just disables wifi temporarily and fires up the mobile radio in the background, and re-enables when you're done.

Yep. If you keep the T-Mobile my account app running it will do that cause It needs the 4G/Data connection.

Right, but what I'm saying is that I wasn't running the app. It does run as a service though so I'm wondering if it was trying to connect on it's own in the background, though I'm not sure why. I haven't seen this behavior on any other devices including my Sensation before I disabled one of the My Account apps, but I'm almost positive at this point it was the culprit. Could be because I had only disabled one of them and not both. After I disabled the second, the problem went away.
Do you have WiFi sleep disabled?
If not, phone may revert to regular data until you start communicating and wake up your WiFi.
Just a thought.

Nope, sleep policy is set to "Never" and wifi sticks fine. Still happened even with screen on so wifi was def. awake. I fixed it by disabling the T-Mo My Account apps so I'm cool but maybe it can help someone else if they have the same problem. It's really weird, never seen it happen before. I wish I took a video of it before I disabled the apps. Thanks guys.

It's poor coding in the app. Nothing you're doing wrong.
Hi all, I am having some issues with my Z3s mobile data switch. If I have mobile data on and then activate my wifi, the mobiles data 3g icon disappears, which I had assumed is normal because wifi trumps data.
After I turn wifi off, the data connection icon does not come back and i have no internet access. When I go to settings to reactivate the data connection, it says it is already on. I have to shut it off/turn it on manually 3 or 4 times before it reconnects... and it seems like it takes a really long time to reconnect too.
Any thoughts?
1. Try to reinstall the internet and mms settings under settings, Wireless and networks, Internet Settings.
2. Try under settings, Wireless and networks, mobile networks, prefered network mode, select any of the non LTE/4G options.
3 .If either of those don't work, then try under settings, Wireless and networks, mobile networks, then network operator, then select your network provider from the list, then do each of the previous step 2 then step 1.
If that still doesn't work take the sim back and get it checked out by your provider, or request a new one.

Thanks for this. Apparently it matters in which order you do things with this phone so when I set it up before installing the sim it messed it up. I reset the phone back to factory defaults but this time with the sim card in it and it now works a lot better--though switching between wifi and mobile data is rather slow, at least compared to my One M8.
hmm, shouldn't do I haven't noticed that previously, I would be wary of your sim card.
I have the same issue on my Z3 Compact. Is there no other way than a factory reset? I'm rooted btw
Try turning off Stamina mode
I've had the same or similar issue with the T-Mobile version of the Z3 (D6616). For my phone, I've noticed that it is Stamina mode that is causing this issue. Another post described a similar issue and the way to resolve it was to clear the data and cache on the "Extended Standby mode controller" app/process. Note however that this causes all the stamina settings to be reset such as the apps active in standby. Eventually though this didn't work any more so I decided to turn off Stamina mode altogether. So far, the Wi-Fi to mobile data switching works flawlessly with Stamina mode off.
My feeling it has to do with an app/apps that affect this particular process. I had reset my phone and installed apps "slowly" (install one app, test, install another app, test, etc.) to see which app would cause this though could not pinpoint a particular app. I've experienced this issue with three Xperia Z3's (the first Z3 I had, the replacement Z3 due to a camera button issue, and my wife's Z3) so this has to be a software issue.
Another option is to put the phone in Airplane mode then take it out of airplane mode.
I have the same issue. Although it arises sporadically, I simply enable and disable Airplane mode when I'm out of wifi range if the phone fails to catch mobile data.

You can leave STAMINA mode on (under Power management), however...... only enable the "Extended Standby" option and of course Activation should be at 100%/Always on. When Wi-Fi is on, you must also have whitelisted 2 specific apps in STAMINA under the "Apps active in standby" list: The text msg app you're using (i.e. Textra, etc) and I would also whitelist one under "All others" entitled "Phone/Messaging Storage". Again, this is only for when you have Wi-Fi on. Keep the other stuff disabled in here. With regards to STAMINA mode.......
First, put Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep to "Only when plugged in" (Settings, Wi-Fi, Advanced). Also, make sure everything else on that page is unchecked/disabled. Turn off STAMINA mode. Go into Settings, Apps, All, Extended Standby Mode Controller, Clear Data AND Cache. Then go to your text app's (Textra, etc) "App info" page (on same Apps "All" screen) and clear ONLY the cache, then close out the app itself (3D button to the right of the virtual Home button, swipe the text app off the screen). Reset. When you come back, follow what I said above, including turning STAMINA mode back on (note the removal of having to leave "queue background data" off.) Make sure that when you turn STAMINA mode on that the pop-up shows up describing it. If it doesn't at any point, then repeat this paragraph's instructions. What I just said here MAY resolve any lingering MMS issues, and also resolve any issues regarding with STAMINA mode not kicking in too. When I did this my phone spit out a few "missed" incoming MMS messages out all at once. And the battery seems to be last longer too.
It seems that MMS messages will def show up if Wi-Fi is on, but it will take longer to show up if screen is off. Maybe 3-5 minutes longer.

You should turn on data while sleeping option on..and also turn on background data for apps
Hey
I have a small data plan and sometimes my phone randomly disconnects from the wifi while watching YouTube or updating apps. And I just wondered if there is a way to disable my mobile data when my GPS location is for example at my home and if I leave this place it gets toggled back on
Would be super helpful.
