Mobile data stays on while WiFi is on

I just unlocked my T-Mo GS2 and it's working great so far. Only thing I miss from my HTC Desire was that Mobile Data used to automatically switch off whenever I'm connected to wifi networks.
This doesn't seem to be the case here. Data indicator stays on even though I'm connected to my home wifi.
Is there a setting option that I'm missing somewhere?

I notice this as well. Its sporadic though. Data does sometimes drop off but not always.

Yes, yes! I thought it was my router or something. Sometimes the device will try and use mobile data even if I have a very weak cell signal and a very strong wifi signal. It usually works right after connecting to wifi, but after being connect for a long period of time, it seems to try and switch back to mobile data despite my wifi sleep policy being set to 'Never'.

Mine did this too all the time until I got a new Sim. I have only had it happen once since then.

I'm having the same issue. New sim.

This issue has already been posted somewhere.... I think in the battery thread. The fix was to get the Llama app and set up a profile to switch wifi off when no wifi available, and to switch 4G off when connected via wifi.

Wifi Fixer app in Market seems to be working nicely so far too.

The only other thing I did besides a new Sim was a factory reset. Its only happened once since that and the new Sim. Also I turn wifi off and only on when I need it. Don't know if some are leaving it constantly on.

It's staring me in the face as I write this. Wifi connected, 4G on.

Yea had that problem aswell. I just turned off 4g when I'm on wifi.

The system is going to turn on your data when it needs to check info or upload/download data that verifies your device or is of a sensitive nature to the system, such as purchase authorizations in the market. When our data connection is popping up while connected to wifi and you're not doing anything (like making a market purchase), there could be undesirable transmission of data going on. Not to say it's definitely malicious in nature, however like I said I do see data transmissions taking place for no apparent reason. Could be some app or widget I use has an auto update that does something to activate it, but as long as the app keeps transmission and activity levels minimal, it's unlikely to pop up on a security app that alerts based on excessive data usage.

OK, good to know that I'm not alone in this.
It seems that data isn't being used much while connected to wifi. About of 1mb of traffic through all the time that I was connected to wifi. That was a few hours of usage last evening, and then the whole night on idle.
The question is how is this affecting battery life when it just sits there doing nothing.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium

Mine has been doing that too, I figured out it was an app making it happen. For me it was the app "beat the traffic" because as soon as I uninstalled it, mobile data went away while on wifi.

Same problem, same cause - except mine was a background thread for "Media Hub", which of course is one of those DRM crazy apps that will not work over WiFi. Ran it to just check it out, but nothing worth seeing there so that won't happen again.
When both were running, it seemed each app choose its own path for connectivity, probably related to how the app was coded. For example streaming from web via Flash used WiFi, but most other apps used 4G.
Edit: Add T-Mobile's "My Account" application as one that causes this to happen.

This seems like a side effect of a tremendous amount of bloatware on this phone. Some of those magenta apps only work on the mobile network. Sometimes you will notice that wifi only will show and then all of a sudden you see both the 4g and wifi on at the same time. Hopefully root will take care of the problem.
If it was programmed correctly it would not allow those background apps to update on the 4g network but it seems the coding leaves it open to start up even when on wifi. This is an assumption but from my tests, it seems that's what's causing it.

same issue here

if you guys believe this is a bug, please report it directly to samsung using the form in stickied in the forum
thanks

I reported as a bug prior to discovering its not really a bug. If you go into task manager and open the ram tab and kill all it goes away. I havent had this issue for 3 days now. Its gotta be one of the tmobile apps causing it.

What are you killing when you go to the ram tab?

[Nearly Finished Guide]Flash e4gt to page plus/straight talk

FLASH YOUR PHONE TO PAGE PLUS/STRAIGHT TALKDownload Terminal Emulator from store or use rom toolbox's emulator or pretty much any te and type "getprop ril.MSL" without quotes. Doing so will get your spc so you can read and write to phone. If u know your SPc then don't worry bout this. Then make sure to disable... YES DISABLE usb debugging.
IF TOUCHWIZ ROM
Get your phone in diag mode by typing in ##8778#
To get it to work and pick up in QPST, I thought "all" could be selected but I was trying to help someone last night and I guess it has to be cp.
IF AOSP JB
here is a link on how to get into diag mode enabling cp
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2138272
IF STUCK TRYING TO GET PHONE TO READ TO QPST LOOK HERE
From windows start menu, open QPST Configurations
Click on the “Ports” tab and “Add a new port”
Select the “COMXX – USB\QC Diagnostic” and click ok(mine for example is com3), your port number will be different, if you see more than one it has been instructed to disconnect all your external devices such as external HDDs, phones, Bluetooth dongles, ect @whatever carrier.com blah blah. Therefore, you should know which one is your E4GT. If you still don't see a port uncheck the box for "Show Serial and USB/QC Diagnostic ports only" (doing just this is what i had to do) and add all of the USB/Unknown ports. Now if your phone is not showing a connection, you have a bad cable, or bad micro usb 2.0 port on your phone.
Click “Start Clients” on the top of the program and open Service programming or just exit out of it all and from start menu open ""Service Programming."
Now to continue
If you already have a page plus account and you know your min and mdn than your good..... if u want u could go ahead and dial *22890 and activate your phone if u want.... but u will only have talk and text ( no MMS or data) if you do this all you have to do is pull the ha and aa keys from a donor phone ON VERIZON ONLY to get your mms and 3g working.
Now you will ned to pull ha and aaa keys using CDMA WS or DFS
Sometimes you may need to write the keys to your E4GT using CDMA WS or DFS. CDMA WS is a paid program so i don't use it as it is very expensive for a college student. You can use a Demo DFS from cdmatool.com
If you are on el26 or el29 u can get APN backup and restore and use it to delete apns and mod them with Verizon settings.... if needed just gtalk me(if u pm me on here I'm not sure when I'll get back to u). If on ICS then u will needs hiapn global which has to be moved to be a system app then when u start it it'll say to make it a system app..... and u just have to be patient and maybe even restart your phone to get it to work... (yes its annoying but it does eventually work). I keep my vzw APN backed up cuz when I flash a ROM my MmSC URL always changes to sprint....
Now anyway..... after you plug up the epic 4g touch to the PC and gt it to connect to QPST write to phone the THIS FILE HERE ----->http://https://www.dropbox.com/s/fybngoqwldtrfuq/FlashYourE4GT.qcn
You will then need to input your MIN and MDN into that file where they belong and under the M.I.P. profiles tab input the HA and AAA keys in each profile with both enabled and HA and AAA keys are HEX values.... if you input "vzw" for HA and AAA values than you will have only 1x data, you will need a donor phone or someone to give you HA and AAA keys from a working vzw 3g device to gain 3g.
You will also need a PRL that is not Sprint PCS
In QPST, go to roam tab, open up one of these files and they will work for you
00002 PRL https://www.dropbox.com/s/atzs7d6aft6j0bd/00002.prl
For obtaining functioning MMS
To get mms working you can go easy way download Go SMS Pro app and under settings, advanced, mmsc url, do a custom mmsc url and input this -->http://mms.vtext.com/servlets/mms?X-VZW-MDN=**********
(the stars being your cell number)
Another way is to download an app called HiAPNglobal, use a root explorer to move it to system app, let it install itself as a system app and reboot phone(this app is annoying) and then when open hit backup apns.... now navigate in file explorer to hidroid.net folder and read contents of apnbackuplist.xml and change the contents to the following
I also have a flashable zip here, confirmed only working on AOSP JB roms to fix both GPS and MMS
Lost this file somehow, will make another one eventually
This is my data speeds flashed... this is verizon towers 3g

Yes u can use a LG Env it's a 3G phone so u will be good to go U can pull the files u need to get 3g working since its a 3g phone

If you copy a Verizon DMU file to the phone file system you don't need a donor phone for 3g.

Cloning is illegal.
You will get caught.
Ting supports a few of bring you own devices from sprint (in beta stage) soon to roll out to everyone. Epic touch 4g is one of them they can bring over from sprint, without doing any "difficult" programming. As long as you have your msl, you can do it.
Pay as you go, and you get credited next month for what you don't use.

Cloning is not illegal in itself. As long as you pay for the service you use, it's perfectly legal. Why else are there all these public guides available to clone your phone to another carrier? I've been using my Sprint phone on Virgin for 6 months with no issue (cloned). It's going to be easier to get a sprint phone on another sprint owned prepaid (virgin, boost) though.

Page plus is a prepaid company that buys usage of verizon towers in bulk(think Walmart) to sell to others at cheaper prices. And straight talk has gsm phones that run at&t towers (which u can't flash an e4gt to) ... who would want to do that!? At&t only works in big cities..... and some CDMA straight talk devices run on sprint towers but most st CDMA devices run on verizons(which has signal almost everywhere)...

Mine does that too, not just my phone but my Wireless hotspot too, (a AT&T Unite) I can keep the connection up by doing a "ping www.google.com -t" in the command line.
Yes, this will kill your battery, consider using bluetooth or USB tether.
Furthermore AT&Ts DNS servers suck use these
8.8.8.8
8.8.4.4
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
Just put them in to your DNS settings in Windows.
This isn't an issue with your devices, its a AT&T issue from the looks of it. (I called AT&T and they tell me that the local tower is having issues so unless I continuously ping google I can't tether or use my hotspot for more than 20 minutes without getting DNS errors, Does it with any ROM I try, even my PlayStation Vita does it)

Sorry but my note 2 is bell variant and i'm on bell network in Canada. The only reason I'm using this forum is because AT&T has the same model unlike the other verizon and such.
So any other idea???
i also tried to set the hotspot auto turn off to always on and it seems to help a little. however every now and then i still get disconnection.

Did anything change when you continuously pinged Google?

I keep refreshing the page, enter new common websites such as MSN or yahoo and they all show nothing except DNS failed look up. I changed the bell apn to some tether apn bell offered but that didn't work. So now I reset the apn to have it look up the settings itself. Still having the issue..
I never had this issue until recengly like last two weeks. Iunno what could be the Cuz and I can't figure out is it my phone, rom, or laptop...
I seriously will pay someone if they can't help me fix this!

Disable your app and use ES File Explorer to hotspot. This can help to see if it is wifi app specific issue, or a common (phone setting, DNS...) problem.

You think you went over your allotted data limit? If that was so then the symbol would switch to 4G instead of 4Glte, Maybe you are right that you've passed your limit and maybe you should check settings/more networks/mobile networks and ensure that network mode is set to LTE/WCDMA/GSM and check that mobile data is enabled.........and my last guess could be that maybe your sim is loose or failing?

I think it is a bug in the system. I used 2056.47GB according to the My T-Mobile website (tethering non stop), but on the use tab it tells me I used 2048GB of Unlimited. Maybe that stopped my data. I guess on the 17th it will reset and I'll have internet again since calls and messages works correctly. Also, there's no alert on my account and neither a message sent, so my guess is their system just limit the data to 2048GB somehow.

2 terabyte wow. I use net10 on att towers and have massive data connection issues as of the past 2 days and i just put a new monthly on it.

I called them and they said the data was not blocked and that it was not possible to block because it is unlimited, which I think is clearly a system bug or a hard or soft limit of 2048GB

I find it really hard to believe that you managed to use 2TB of data, even if you're tethering. I'm not saying you're lieing, but I think there's something wrong on the backend here that's not reporting appropriately.
There's obviously some kind of issue occuring when you authenticate on the T-Mobile network. My suggestion is either ODIN the phone back to stock and try again, or go into a Store and see if they can tell you anything about your account that's throwing flags at them.

I hope they did block you.

Yeah I think they did that throttling thing because of me
Well, I'm hoping the 17th I get the internet again, of course more carefully. I was just looking at the "how much unlimited data means" limit and I seem to have found it.
If not, the reps said it could be the SIM Card and I have to go to the store then.

How can you even call TMO with a straight face? 2 TB is abusing it, dude.

Can you try a few things?
1) Turn the phone off then back on see how long you have data for.
2) Force the data band of the phone and see how long data works for.
3) Put your SIM into a different device and see how long you have data for.
And of course if you can try all these things on a few different towers just to be sure.
Also can you try cooking an egg on your phone? That thing must be running pretty HOT.

Also can you try cooking an egg on your phone? That thing must be running pretty HOT.

All of that was what the reps said me to do, but data doesn't work.
Here is the bug I suspect, which makes me believe data is turned off at 2048GB:
In this image, the data reported 2048GB, but it let me use a little more. It just stayed at 2048GB

Here you can see that it is reporting what I really used before data was turned off:
I know I may have abused but still they didn't really said nothing about it, and they said blocking can't be done on the phone call. They said to visit the store for a phone/SIM checkup.

You can try to reset your NV values and modem. Below is a link to the thread with instructions.

I have just confirmed myself that this is indeed a system limitation by T-Mobile. Today my cycle reset and I got my data back.
So, in conclusion, T-Mobile unlimited plan indeed have the 2048GB limit.

I hope people aren't complaining about a 2 terabytes limit. I felt like I was abusing when going through 10 gigs a month.

OMG...2TB of mobile data, that's insane!! Even I have The 105Mbps Comcast plan and I can only manage to use 170GB a month(streaming Netflix and downloading torrents everyday)

Wifi+ never switches off?

Having my Mate 20x for 3 months now and being generally happy with it, I recently encountered an annoying bug.
It seems that whenever I connect to a WiFi, that doesn't have Internet capability currently, the phone uses my mobile data to connect, download or sync. Like as if Wifi+ was enable (which isn't the case).
As I'm a permanent traveler, currently in Africa, connecting to WiFi that temporarily don't work, happens quite often, especially after a blackout or something.
Anyway, my Wifi+ is switched off, I restarted and switched it also a few times, but my mobile data is still being used when WiFi doesn't work properly.
I have the EVR-L29 still on the 9.0.0.208 version. The 9.0.0.300 update has popped, but I'm afraid to download it, due to newly introduced crashed and since I basically don't have any other problem with the phone and awesome battery life. Having had Mate 8 and Mate 10 before, I had a few times, that updating too early made it less than worthwhile and since I'm not rooted and despite using Android since Froyo, I'm meanwhile beyond the flashing and downgrading days of old.
What would you guys recommend to remedy the problem?
Thanks!

I think this is an unfortunate feature if emui on this device. I recently asked the question of why is 4G still showing on my status bar when I'm connected to WiFi. On other devices that I've owned connecting to WiFi would visibly remove the mobile data connection. It would be appear that in your case connecting to WiFi truly doesn't disable mobile data.
How about if you turn WiFi+ off, and try connecting to the dead access point, what happens then? Does it still use mobile data ? I just looked at WiFi + and it states that it connects automatically to mobile data and or WiFi to stay online. So perhaps it's doing as intended?

Yes, my Wifi+ is always off. I never used that feature. But I noticed also as you mentioned, that the mobile data counter is still on, even when connected to WiFi. And when the WiFi status has that 'exlamation mark' meaning it's not connected to the Internet, that counter is still running, thus taking data from mobile data.

On the attached screenshot it shows mobile data field as present with WiFi on with my device. On other devices that field Mobile Data would show "disconnected". I wish I could help further , I'm new to emui.

I knowwwww... But I'm reluctant to set up everything manually again... Might probably go through all those updates once I have a stable and fast WiFi again somewhere.

I don't understand? Is it possible to switch on or off something in those settings? I can't seem to find it on my phone?

I don't think there is. It seems an emui feature.
Like I mentioned earlier, other Android devices I've used in the past automatically shut down/ disable mobile data when WiFi is connected. Seems like with this device you don't truly know if you're on mobile data or wifi.?

Interesting tid bit I just came across and thought I'd share with you. So for the first time on this device I ran optimize battery under the battery settings menu.
It suggested I turn off mobile data :silly: very confusing if you ask me.
Seems like Emui has a major status bar flaw in it in this respect. When I turn mobile data off via the pull down quick toggle and also turn WiFi off. It still shows 4G LTE on status bar. I guess this is the issue!

Aida64 app shows that mobile data is disconnected when on WiFi. Still doesn't answer why 4G icon persists when mobile data and wifi is off though.

In Developer Options>~Networking~Mobile data always on~toggle
Tried that?
