It used to be that when I received a picture and had wifi turned on, 3g would turn itself on briefly in order to download the message. Now, I need to manually turn on 3g in order to receive MMS. I am using Kingdom Rewind RLS 2 as my rom. Anyone know how to fix this?

I leave 3G on all the time (technically). My understanding is that even with 3g enabled, when wifi is on android "disables" the 3g until it's needed, then automatically turns it on, then off when finished, and switches back to wifi.
Is yours set up that way, but not working properly?
I noticed that I have the same problem when 3g isn't enabled.
Also, I don't have an unlimited data plan so I leave 3g off unless I need it so that I don't have to worry about going over on the data.

I don't leave 3g on all the time even with wifi on because I am not always connected to a wifi network.
i've noticed this with some of the newer roms... i just cycle the wifi to get or sent mms.
usually when i receive a mms i get notification that it needs t o download.. i turn off wifi and download and then turn wifi on again. same sending.. turn off wifi.. send mms... turn it back on.
small price to pay for some of the coolest roms available!

I've had to do this since back in the D1 days, I guess I just got used to it...
there hasnt been a fix for mms over wifi on 2.1/3.0 roms yet.. but you will know when there is a fix for it if there ever is one cause im sure it will be all over the Dinc forums

Fix for MMS
I found this over in the development section. I really hope that Joel can work it in to the next version of Kingdom Rewind 3d. Looks to be an APN problem, but the devs have to edit some framework files etc.
See Here:

Although, it appears that this is done on Kingdom Rls3 so im not sure if its valid or not. Would love to have a solution its the only thing standing in the way of being my daily driver.
BusinessSense was good and it worked, however, the problem there for me was that every time i tried to make a call it told me i was roaming. The fix is to turn off call guard, however, if i actually am roaming i certainly want to know that.
All in all though, the sense 3.0 roms are awesome.

I can't rembemer how I fixed it but the only thing common between my ROMs is my mods to the phone.apk and my build.prop changes. Could also be that I repacked the GS kernel.
Strange
Sorry about that

Sorry for misspeaking there. I have been trying out way too many roms to decide on a daily driver. What was it with yours? I think maybe it was that I couldnt use verizon stuff to get my voicemail.

This is strange, my wifi works but then suddenly it only uploads (only green arrow lights up) and it will not download (orange arrow will not light up). I can disconnect and reconnect and I get some service, but then nothing happens.
I've tried the following:
Rebooting the phone several times
Restarting the router
Changing from DHCP to Static IP
Turning off the new open network notification
Clearing data from Google Play store
Disabled wifi power save with *#0011#
Nothing seems to fix it. What is going on?
READ BEFORE YOU FOLLOW ANY OF MY INSTRUCTIONS!! U HAVE BEEN WARNED I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU SOMEHOW DAMAGE YOUR PHONE!!!
OK so let's go straight to Ur answer.... Let it sit for a while after it boots up (a minute) with Ur wifi on. so restart the phone while wifi is on and let it sit for a while... If Ur using a wired connection with a wireless router disconnect the wired modem then the wireless and wait 10 secs and reconnect the wired first and let's all the lights go green or whatever color they show u its ready and then connect the wireless router and try to connect to it.
If that didn't work and you don't have your phone rooted then flash the only time that we have for now. That should fix the wifi issue.
If it doesn't work try to go back to stock and let it sit for a while without touching it and if it doesn't work then the phones defective but keep in mind that if you went through the root process that if you send it back without erasing the flash counter your warranty will be voided so be aware of it. I don't know if there's an app compatible with the s4 so if it's not rooted then replace it just to be safe.... It's your choice

My phone is not rooted.
What did you mean by flashing the time?
How do I erase the flash count if I decide to root later?
Thank you for your help. =)
------edit------
The method -- sans the flashing the time -- seemed to work, but then the internet stalled again. This is happening on two S4 phones. My other phones have no trouble with the wifi, my pcs have no trouble with the wifi. What are the odds that two phones aren't working? Nobody else is having this problem?
I have already made a thread with the sane issue. You're not the only one facing it. A lot more people are too. It might be a software thing and might be fixed in the next update. If not, exchange it

What router are you using? D-Link DIR-655 seems to be most popular one people are having trouble with. What mode are you using (a/b/g/n/mixed/etc)? Mine only works with Mixed n and g mode. When you turn off the wifi, does it actually turn off (the green indicator will dim but should actually go away when it's off)? The stock rom seems to want to keep the wifi on at all costs... not sure why! Mine is very stubborn and takes several tries before it actually turns off and says "turn wifi on the see available networks." In order for the *#0011# Power Save Mode Off setting to work, the WiFi needs to actually turn off then back on. I have to toggle airplane mode sometimes just to get the wifi to turn off.
DGL-4500 Linksys
It shuts off when I save; I put the settings as you suggested. I'll test it.

DGL-4500 is a D-Link, correct? If it is a D-Link, I'd make sure you are on the latest firmware for it and try various mode settings (disable mixed modes, 2.4GHz or 5GHz only, WPA2/TKIP only, etc). This post details a solution to my scenario; maybe it'll give you some ideas.
I have d-link router too and wifi working just fine

Yeah, it is a D-Link; not a Linksys. I tried what you did, it seems to be okay so far. I have the latest firmware. I still think this is a problem with the phone. Do you think an update will fix it?

Yes, it's definitely a problem with the phone. I've spent the last several days researching and trying to find a permanent solution. It appears to be a software issue but I've yet to explain how wifi works just fine for some and not for others.
Any solution to this yet without messing with the router setting. I have this week left to get a full refund. I doubt exchanging it would make a difference. Plus tmobile is out of stock and stores won't allow exchanges since I bought mine online.

I sent my phone to Samsung, so I'm waiting to hear back from them on what they have to do to fix my issue. Maybe it's a faulty batch of Broadcom chips?

Hey everbody. this is my first post on here. and I have a really annoying issue.
OK, i bought an unbranded Galaxy Note II N7100 4.1.2 jelly bean couple of months ago and that issue seemed to be there since the beginning.
It's that when I'm connected to internet through mobile data on WCDMA, all of a sudden the "received" signal (orange arrow) won't flash any more while green arrow flashes every two seconds and i have no internet access no matter what i do, the only thing that can temporarily fix this is that i restart my phone and then the internet is perfect again for a not certain interval of time and then the issue happens again, it won't come back until i restart the phone again.
Sometimes it could stay for 12 hours before it happens and sometimes i could keep restarting my phone every five minutes, it's really annoying.
I've tried all the known tricks like hard reset, deleting all apps, i disabled so many services or apps that may cause this problem, I disabled all syncing apps, i deleted, re installed APNs, i changed my SIM card and finally i subscribed for another network provider and it still happens
I'm really at a loss, I don't know what causes this problem.
Is it a hardware issue? but if it was a hardware issue, it wouldn't work at all even after restart, right? is it some bug in the built-in 4.1.2 jellybean?
And i also may say that i receive calls normally, the WIFI works perfectly and the GSM mobile data works all the time no problems, it only happens on the WCDMA ONLY or the AUTOMODE.
The H , H+ or 3G sign is up there but the orange arrow all of a sudden won't flash and no internet access at all untill i restart the phone.and this issue may start to happen even if the mobile data is off all day and when i turn it on BOOM the issue seems to be there even before turning it on.
I hope you guys can help me with this...thanks

Flashing a custom ROM is really easy, and there is no way u can brick your phone if you do the steps correctly.

Running CM11 on PagePlus. I cannot access the Internet. I was able to at one time. Thought it was the Rom so I flash CM10.1 and Stock rooted rom. I reactivated the phone after the installs. Every time it says the network is connected but I cannot connect to the Internet or send MMS. Starting to think it is the phone. Any ideas?
More info:
IP address is applied. Able to ping ip address but not some other known ip address. Traceroute does one hop to 66.174.216.161, which seems to be a Verizon ISP. Might try playing with apns-config.xml. I had tried the one I had when it was working previously but did not seem to change anything.
I'm new, but had similar problems

I'm not sure the MMS issue has been resolved, as of yet. Last time I check the Development thread it seemed like there wasn't yet a fix. Someone will correct me shortly if I'm mistaken, I'm sure.
The data problem you're having is one that I struggled with for a couple weeks in CM11... I don't know how much help I can be, because I'm not really sure what ended up actually fixing it for my dINC. All I know is that I spent about three hours dirty flashing and restoring from nand backups, sometimes the full backup and sometimes just partitions. I also threw in a *228 somewhere in there. Anyways, Through persistence, and sheer dumb luck, I finally have a pretty stable data connection, as long as I don't use the mode switcher in DUbattery(that seems to mess 3g up until reboot).
sometimes it helps to toggle airplane mode on then off.
Thanks for the tip. I toggled airplane mode on and off. I could then load google in the browser but it would not do anything after that. I have a new inc and an OG Evo coming in. Might have to retire my inc for the kid to play games on. My wife is using and OG Evo with no data or mms problems on 10.1 and I am sort of digging the larger screen. Also might be able to help zach with troubleshooting cm11 for the evo (supersonic).

Glad to know it was not just my phone. I am back on your 2/17 build and was worried there was some leftover firewall stuff even though I wiped everything except emmc and sd-card before the flash.
On another note. I have that other EVO coming in so should be able to load up CM11 and do some logging for you.
So I switched mobile data off this weekend with the silent profile and when I switched it back on using the default profile my data worked.

I'm glad you found a fix! On my dINC, I don't use the profiles, and mobile data crashes randomly. After flashing the March 23rd build, it has gotten somewhat better, but it always seems to skip out when I need it most... specifically.... when I use Google voice search to either dictate text messages or navigate to an address(delivery driver). the latter is especially frustrating, because I only use the navi when I'm already out of the store and can't find something, so no alternative available. Sometimes, even when the 3g symbol is full in status bar, I'll push the voice button and it will say, "cannot reach google *** etc" :crying:
For the AT&T G3
Is anyone having an issue where their G3's mobile data will randomly stop functioning?
I am still able to make calls, but no applications requiring data will sync or update. There is even still the "4G LTE" icon in the notification bar. The only way to solve this problem is to reboot the phone...then everything functions normally again.
This happens to me at least once or twice daily.
I really hope I am not the only crazy one having this issue...
has happened to me and I posted in another thread...
Oh I did a search and didn't find any other information on it. Did you have any luck in the other thread?

I've had this happen twice on my G3. It used to happen occasionally on my iPhone 5.
On the g3 I toggled the "data enabled" quick setting to off for a second and then back on. Fixed the issue for me.
Not saying there isn't an issue here. This is just a quick fix.
happened a 3rd time today. toggling data didn't do anything. required 2 reboots to fix. i was walking in nyc.

Yup, this is identical to my issue. Sometimes it fixes itself after a reboot, other times it requires more. It's definitely not AT&T's service...my S3 in the same coverage area did not have this issue.

i've been manhandling the phone all day. no dropped data or calls at all besides the usual dead zones. I'm in Northern NJ so service is pretty solid up here.
same
I'm in singapore - had same issue. No 3G/4G data. Calls ok, wifi ok. A reboot fixes the issue.
Yes same happens here in india
Not On G3, But Previous Phones
I had this happen occasionally on a Droid RAZR., Always assumed it was something between the phone and the network. It only happened every couple months and a reboot always fixed the issue. Haven't had it happen on the G3. Live near Washington DC. Pretty good coverage.
This is seen on the T-Mobile D851 variant as well.
One way that fixes the data issue is to enable Airplane Mode and then disable it (immediate enable and then disable does it, no wait time for a reset). Fixes the loss of the data connection with no reboot required.
You can try that and see if works as well.
Fast Dormancy?
I wonder whether disabling fast dormancy would resolve the issue? If your mobile data provider does not implement fast dormancy then it needs to be disabled on the phone.
I get the fast dormancy option via the hidden menu (3845#*855# on my D855, replace with your model number), then Settings, then Fast Dormancy. Needs a reboot to apply.
You will need to Google if your mobile provider supports fast dormancy.
Worth a try.
