Hi,
i have a omnia 7 and i have a problem with the data connection. I set n the options the toggle for "data connection" to on and the 3G toggle is off. But i get always a 3G connection. I have the omina since 2 days and after the first start up i had a edge connection if i set the 3g toggle to off and only the data connection to on.
What can i do? Is there any solution for this problem?
EDIT: i uninstalled the shaps data connection "shortcut" and now i have Edge if i disable the 3g toggle...hm...

for some reason, my phone keeps going to 'no service'. i have set it to gsm for network type and auto for gsm/umts.
i installed the no data cab because my phone always keep getting connected to the internet after turning off data connection and 3g. i even went into task manager and i don't know what else to disable that connects to the internet. that's why i installed the no data cab.
after installing the no data cab i noticed the 3g is turned on in communication manager, and i get the bars and see the big H. i turn off the 3g, and then i get no service, but then no service again.
i then went into network connection and chnaged gsm to auto. and now it works with the big H and the 3g is turned on, but even when 3g is turned on, i can't connect to the net unless i toggle in the no data cab program.
anyone please help!
radio issue?
do you think it's a radio issue?
i think its just telling you that ur in a 3g/HSPA area not that ur actually connected to 3g
but it didnt do that before, it would just be no service and I would have to change to 3g..not sure why.
True, the 3G or H icon will sometimes show up to tell you that those signals are present, even if the phone is not actually connected to them.
The toggle in the Comm Manager is basically useless. It will connect automatically if you open your browser or other program that uses the data connection, even if the Data Connection is toggled "off". The only exception is if you are Airplane Mode.
If I remember correctly, you also need to toggle the Data Connection off in the Comm Manager, after you toggle "off" in NoData. I don't think NoData can shutdown a data connection that is already open. So I guess the bottom line is that you have to use BOTH the Comm Manager and NoData to toggle the data connection off and on.
radio reflash
So the odd thing is, no issue occured after I reflashed a different radio. Maybe it was the radio? But yes, I do have to use NoData and CommManager together. I had to soft reset after installing.
I'm running TMo stock 6.5 ROM. I have not subscribed to the data plan and use wifi for data connection.
But ever since I upgraded, every few minutes the "Data Connection" under the Communication tab is changes to ON by itself and the notification shows 3G or Edge depending on where I'm at.
Is there a way to figure which app is turning on the data connection? Is there a way to disable it? I suspect its the weather and location settings that does it, but don't know how to verify it.
Maybe Active sync
Since last update (9 dic) everytime I restart the phone I can see the 3G icon on the systembar but the 3G data connection is off on settings so there is not data connection.
I have to set the 3g data connection on and then off to make the 3G icon disappear.
With the 3G setting off I reboot the phone and the 3g icon is back again ...
Any one is having the same problem ?
Thanks Iosu
my phone is a HTC titan
I have a Verizon G4 and have one major gripe.
At my workplace, the wifi is somewhat spotty and it's a guest network that requires authenticating (clicking an "i agree" button)
So my phone will, throughout the day, as it detects the "weak" signal, automatically turn off that network due to "unreliable internet connection".
Even as I'm back in an area with a strong signal, now my phone is ignoring that and stuck trying to use mobile network. I have to go into my network list and manually tell it to reconnect.
During all of this, wifi is enabled the entire time.
I see where others have had the same problem on other phones and have turned off "Smart Network Switch" and I even read where someone had done this on a LG G4 (not verizon).
So I'm thinking this is something Verizon removed. Anyone have any ideas?
Smart Network Switch is just a feature that checks for a "data" connection over wifi and switches to use Mobile Data if WiFi loses internet access.
I am not sure the G4 has this. When I am connected to WiFi with a bad signal, it will just send me a popup telling me the WiFi has no internet access and whether to use Mobile Data or not. The feature you are looking for is "Avoid bad WiFi Connections", which is the same thing with a different name. Just make sure that is OFF. That will force WiFi to use WiFi as the only connection.
And it sounds like your wireless network sucks and needs to be upgraded to a corporate solution.
Just FYI, in my WiFi > Advanced WiFi settings, I have everything unchecked + "Keep WiFi on when screen is off" = Yes.
Well "avoid bad Wi-Fi connections" is off. Read on another forum that the mobile version I think it was had the smart network option.
I have the same options as you except I also allow Wi-Fi scanning.
I have tried with that one both on and off and see the same behavior.
I never get a popup, it just ignores that wifi connection and used mobile data. When I look at my Wi-Fi list, it'll say something about unreliable internet connection in small text,on the Wi-Fi network that it disconnected from. Surely I'm not the only one seeing this.. :/
Beats me. Sounds like the Access point you are connecting to has a bad internet connection. What is happening is you are connected to the WiFi and it notices that the WiFi AP is either dropping internet connection (Google pings google servers to test connections) or bouncing.
In order to keep from losing a data connection, it seems to be switching to your cellular network.
I see this often because we install APs (I am a network engineer). I think your phone is trying to protect you and that is normal behavior. Here is another scenerio: In a hotel, wifi is always set to OPEN. If your phone automatically connects to the hotels network, you will lose a data connection because Hotels require you to "sign-in", just like most free wifi places do. The phone sees that your phones WiFi connection is not accessing the internet and making sure you are good.
I am not sure how often it "checks" the wifi for a good connection or if it ever does once it switches.
I don't know how to make the phone only use Wifi when connected although all settings I know are turned off. Only way to fix it is to turn off mobile data but then when loosing wifi I have to reswitch it on manually
do you have download booster enabled as that keeps both data connections active as it will use both for for files above about 30meg I believe. the only other time I've seen it is with an unstable wifi connection the phone will seemingly keep 4G active and run that as well.
in the first case it will show the 4G over the wifi signal box with the little symbol with a lightning bolt at the top to the side of it, in the second case it was showing the wifi signal bar and 4G side by side, changing from a weaker/faulty router was the only fix I found for the second one.
Go to deveper mode and turn off mobile data always active.
