Hello,
I have Huawei watch 2 sports with LTE.
I am only using it for phone calls and to attend calls forwarded from my phone. Not using for data. I could not find a way to off the data connection keeping the sim connection intact in the watch which we can do in android phone. I want to off the data connection as it is draining the battery about 12% per hour.
So if anybody knows how to off the data connection only in Huawei watch, kindly help me.
Also if there is any reliable method to root the watch , kindly help me
SOLVED!

Took me a while to find this as well!
Apps > Settings > Connectivity > Mobile > Mobile ON
Apps > Battery > Smart Power Saving > ENABLE
Custom > Mobile Data OFF
This leaves all the normal call/receive functions but does not allow mobile data to activate.
Enjoy!
I can't find the custom

When you go into the Battery app select "Smart power saving"
Click to "Enable" so the slider goes blue
Below that is "Custom"
Select "Custom", turn off "Mobile data", turn on "Always on screen" and "Tilt-to-wake"
Sorry, can't seem to take a screenshot of my watch.
Many many thanks

My mistake was that I went through the setting, then into the battery, instead picking directly Battery form the application menu.

Every couple hours I check my data connection and the slide bar is in the off position. Any idea why it keeps turning itself off?
Wow, you guys are awesome.
Thanks for the help.
could you possibly be losing service every hour or so depending on if you're moving around? maybe it's set to auto disconnect?
why do u want it on all the time?
Wow... Patience some of us live outside of forums....
There are plenty of reasons why your data keeps turning off, it has issues, it is being force off by your provider? Sim issues? Phone problems?
Some more details might be nice as well. Applications, recent changes, rom, usage...
I leave my data on non stop, I have to refresh it off and on but eh. Unlimited data. I chop through 5 - 600 mb a month easy.
Start > Settings > System > Advanced config (if you dont have it - get it) > Menu > More settings > Connections: Select your data connection and set to "always on"
Or find the reg key & edit it manually, i cant remember where it is right now.
You do know you could easily have found that by reading the forums right.....?

Thanks. I did not easily find this. This forum page is the first place I found and I wanted to thank you. I had just added Advanced Configuration program this morning and all of the sudden the Data Connection kept turning off. But I didn't know how to get to the "more settings" option.
Thanks again.
As per the title...
I'm currently on holiday in Canada and using the hotel WiFi - but it keeps dropping out and my phone connects itself using 3G. Data on my O2 contract is £6per mb - so I don't want to be surfing on that! Because Opera or Skyfire take up the whole screen, I can't see when itsdropped out of WiFi, so my bill is already likely to be huge!
Is there an app to prevent my phone connecting over 3G / Edge etc?
Cheers...

Can't you just activate the "no data on roaming" option?
Otherwise, you can install NoData, or Manila dial-up enabler/disabler.

Hi.
Use this to disable the data connection. Originally from MoDaco forum....i think.
This is how I did it, taken from the HTC support site:
How do I disable my 3G/GPRS Data Connection?
Follow the steps below to ensure that your phone will never connect to a GPRS/3G Data Connection.
1. Go to Start > Settings > Menu > All Settings > Connections > Connections
2. Tap Add a new modem connection > then under Select a modem, select Celluar Line (GPRS) > Name the Connection "Offline" >Tap Next.
3. In the Access point name text box input "Offline" and tap Next.
4. On the next page tap Finish.
5. On the second Connections Menu, tap Manage existing connections and select "Offline" then click OK.
Re-enable the data connection if you want to connect to the internet via 3g/Edge.
1. From the home screen, slide to the Settings tab, Wireless Controls > Data Connection.
2. Select your Country and Operator
3. Tap OK.
4. On the subsequent screen, tap Yes.
The phone will automatically configure itself with the appropriate settings.
Note: When disabling the connection in this way, your phone may report errors when trying to connect to "Offline." The error is caused by the phone being unable to connect to a data source due to the settings, and is normal.
yeah well it's pretty much the same when you remove all settings - it tries to connect but it can't and an error message pops up when it tries to connect. i just can't figure why it's trying to connect in the first place when i've stopped all data services available in the settings tab and there are no applications running according to the task manager? i want it to stop trying to connect cuz its freaking anoying.

Rumz82, I know it's been a while since the last post, just for you to know that CAB saved me some money, because everytime I travel to another country I have roaming data charges, even if everything is disabled.
If I'd have searched here before, I could have saved some money indeed...
Thank you a zillion.
Best regards!
So my wifi scans and then autoconnects to any unprotected open wifi network. I live in a city so this means every museum, coffee shop, hotspot, etc., that I pass, the phone auto connects temporarily to that network only to tell me after that it 'smart disconnected' because the signal strength dropped (as I, for example, keep walking down the street).
Some solutions online suggest turning off wifi when I leave my house (not an option), forgetting each network it does this to (not practical), and pulling up an advanced menu that doesn't appear to exist in our touchwiz version of marshmallow.
Anyone have any ideas? I only want to connect to a network automatically if I previously entered a password for it. This is how every other android phone I ever owned did it.
If you go to settings > wifi > more > advanced. You can turn off "network notification" and "hotspot 2.0" that should fix it.

WiFi Notifications was already off and I don't have hotspot 2.0 (I am on verizon and it looks like they may call it "Passport"), but that is also off.
Any other ideas?
Darn. That's all I know so far. I'm still exploring this thing while trying to figure out my wfii-play store mystery.
Hopefully this isn't one of those 'features' that turns out to be a bug like getting rid of silent mode in lollipop.
Hope someone else comes up with something.
I'm having the same issue as well, but I do not have an advanced setting under more.

Same here, no advanced setting under more. S7 edge exynos Netherlands.
Some apps call for quick connect via Bluetooth and WiFi. There is a setting to disable this.. Sorry but don't remember where is it. Only hint it is hidden well.
Hi.. I have a problem. When I'm not using wifi, I find google play services always draining a lot of the battery... the % is always between 10-15% after many hours. I did some changes hoping that it would fix that... like I only sync emails with my 3 google accounts, I disabled totally google now, i disabled google location history and set location to wifi-mobile. But it still drains too much (i think, whats your % on google play services?).
Is there anything else I could do to lower the drainage? I have many apps installed but I cant think of anything that could cause that.
Thank you!
PS One thing I really dont get: why in wifi its not even listed in the list of the apps draining memory, while in mobile data its so high?
Make sure always scanning for wifi is off because that setting always enables if you use GPS and doesn't disabled aftewards
For me it was the Google Backups. That has always decimated my batteries lol.

I would think it would. Do you have screenshots of your battery screen you can share?
Settings > Backup and reset > Back up my data.
You should be able to check data usage by WiFi as well. If anything, I think you can restrict Google Play Services to not use cell data.
Settings > Data usage > (find the app) > Restrict background data (at bottom)

Settings > WiFi > More > Advanced

Deleted my screenshot but I'll save next one when it happens.
Btw i cant find any "restrict background data" option after selecting an app... why? I tried several apps and never show. I think i had this option on my s6 but i dont remember well.
PS:

I also dont have "advanced" under more... wtf? Do i have some menus hidden or what?

No carrier at all... unbranded. Any idea?
Under data usage I have a menu called "Background data" where I can prevent individual apps from using mobile data when not running in the foreground and not in wifi... problem is that i dont have "google play services" there... i just have a general "google".
And still cant find advanced menu under wifi setting... i checked on google and a lot of people dont seem to have this option anymore even on s6... Im confused tho, some people with s7 have it and some dont??

It is confusing, not sure why it's like that. One would think they'd all be the same.
Maybe someone else here is in the same situation. Not that it matters, but then again might as well ask lol. Are you using a GSM or CDMA phone?

That first pic I don't have the paragraph at the bottom.
The second, for me scanning settings are under Settings > Location > Improve Accuracy.
So there seems to be differences.

I'm in the same boat. A few days ago, all of a sudden, Google Play Services started to eating up my data like crazy. In less than a week it's eaten up over 1GB in the background, and now the "restrict background data" option is gone. Things like these made me want to dump my S7 and switch to a Nexus......
I have a bone to pick as well with Google Play Services, but it's regarding non-stop location requests. I've been searching high and low for similar issue but don't seem to find any.
Just t be clear:
1. I don't use Google Now
2. I have disabled Now Cards
3. I have disabled Location History
4. I have performed factory reset
5. It's not rooted
6. I want to keep Location Service switched on
Under Location, Google Play Services location would always indicate "Battery usage: low" and occasionally shows "Battery usage: high". I use GSam, and it barely register any GPS activity, and I think any GPS activity that is logged would be the ones that was "Battery usage: high".
I also use Greenify to take advantage of aggressive doze but doesn't help with the location issue.
I use Package Disabler and have disabled most bloatware and Google's apps I don't use.
I just want to see of anyone has noticed this on their S7. It's a European variant.
mines having this issue too. it'd wake time is 11 hours today outta the 13 hours off charger. it's been crap the past month. it was OK for 2 days and nowhere near the top, but now it's crap again. getting annoyed with this damn phone.

There was an update of google play services a few days ago to version 9.2.56. Since then I experienced a huge battery drain. I found out that my s7 doesn't go to deep sleep when I switch Bluetooth on and afterwards off. Reverting to an older version of google play services solve this issue for me.

I was having this problem, 65% battery usage with Google Play Service, I set up Google as below and it seems to have worked.
In Settings > Accounts
Tap Google and Turn off all the items you do not need or want to Sync
Also
In Settings > Google under the Services heading
Nearby - Set to Off
Google Photos Backup - Set to Off
Location On but Locating Method - Set to GPS Only
Ads - Op Out turned On
Search & Now > Now Cards - Set to Off, also Now on Tap - Set to Off
Exit out to the Home Screen and reboot your Phone, in the last 21.5 hours no Google Play Service draining the battery.
Failing that working you could try Settings > Applications > Application Manager > Google Play Service tap More and Uninstall Updates as suggested by @DSC05 and reboot your phone
What is the firmware version you are on?
I have a 930F with APE2 firmware and play services is the last on the list with 5% drain. Still, I have a smartwatch (LG Urbane) connected with bluetooth on all the time.
I would like to know how to get the data connection switch on the notification pannel?
I can only enable or disable data connection in Settings > Connections > Data Usage > Mobile data and it's so boring doing this every time I want to enable or disable the connection.
The phone is not rooted and on build CRL1.
Sorry if similar questions have already been asked. I just didn't find.
Thank you.
I was able to add it in until the last update I did. You can Google it but you just need a laptop and be able to know how to do adb commands. You basically do a command and it pulls a list up of all the quick settings. You then add in mobile data and run another command and it will then be in the dropdown. I had it working months ago before a update and after the update it stopped working. My workaround now is I made a system shortcut on my homescreen and it goes right to where the box is to check to turn on and off.
Please follow this, it worked fine for me just today - https://forum.xda-developers.com/tm...samsung-galaxy-s6-s7-s8-note8-adding-t3757211
