Hi all,
Just got my Xperia Play, and it's not rooted or anything (don't plan on it yet)
and my phone shows an icon all the time that when the status bar is pulled down, it says "data traffic is disabled" and it only goes when my 3G data is on, even when I'm on wi-fi already!
Anything I'm doing wrong?
Thanks in advance!
Ofcourse it only goes when you turn 3G on, it's just a notification to say WCDMA data is disabled

New to Android phones, (I did a search but nothing was found), I was connected to Vodafone yesterday and there has never been a 3G Icon in the notification Bar (Network Signal has the 4 full bars)
When I am at home I use a Vodafone sure signal for 3G but it does not show in the notification bar either, (obviously I am connected to 3G when at home)
My network mode is set to GSM/WCDMA auto, so have I done something wrong or can some suggest how I can have this Icon showing.
I had the same issue - called up support and had them change my SIM card to the new one that came with the phone and since then I now get up to H depending if I'm in a decent area of Liverpool...

Thanks for the reply, this was a new sim card supplied with the phone I moved from T-Mobile to Vodafone so I could use the SureSignal to get rid of the crappy signal in the house.
Just solved the problem, if you switch off Wi-Fi then go into "settings/Mobile network connect to the internet it appears on the notification bar"
I thought you'd have it on already - glad you're sorted though!
I have only seen 'H' in my toolbar and none of the other notification (3G etc) mentioned in the manual there. Normal? Or do I just have a good connection?

The H means you have the HSDPA connection which is quicker than standard 3G. 3.5G if you will
ive also never seen a 3g icon, had the H and G one before
I use to get a 'H' on my kaiser
but on on my desire on Orange. I get a '3G+' symbol now. is this the same as 'H'?

Guys, remember that Android works differently from WIndows Mobile.
On WIndows mobile, you had the G, E, 3G or H all the time showing what signal you had. Android does not do that.
The 3G/H icon only appears when connected to the internet. the rest of the time it just shows signal bars.
And yeah, if wifi is on it will disconnect from the internet and that icon will disappear. cos after all, as long as you have signal when just using voice and text, it doesn't really matter whether it's 3G or not.
And Yes, 3G+ is the same as H. 3G+ is Orange's stupid marketing speak for HSDPA.
I have constant 'G' which changes to 3G/H when in areas that allow it...phone works fine so no issues since changing my SIM card
I am also experiencing this problem and to clarify it:
Sometimes (i think it has something to do with using camera) the animation stops working (the arrows stays shadow even if i am downloading) or the 3h/h icon disappears completely (but i am still connected to mobile data).
Disconnecting and reconnecting mobile data (e.g. swithing to wifi and back, rebooting phone or turning airplane on and off) solves this problem and the animated 3g/h icon (arrows are white when downloading and shadow when connection idle) is back.
Does anyone know how to fix this problem permanently?
I have had no such a bug on my Milestone
Hello guys, I'm going nuts here, because i don't see an option or anything that explains this,neither anyone complaining with the same issue.
Here's the deal, I enable mobile 3g connection but after a while and after the screen going off(in standby), the connection also goes off.
I know this because when I turn the screen back on, I see the 3g connection symbol appearing near the cell signal bars, and that means it was off.
does this happen to anyone else? is it a known issue?
thanks
so no one has this issue?
It works here... do you have JuiceDefender or something else that saves battery or controls connections installed? It might kill your connection to save battery.

no mate, nothing at all, neither have I installed it...installed the rom already and it keeps happening randomly...
hmm... this is just a try...
the same thing happens to me with my wifi connection - but i wan't it to do that... if i go Settings --> Wireless Networks --> Wifi Settings then press the "menu" button i get Advanced Settings in with the first option is "Wifi-Sleep Policy" in wich i told my Desire to do that.
see if your rom has a APN Sleep Policy.
hope i could help...

Been flashing the DHD for about a year now and never had a problem with it.
S-OFF ENG etc, running MDJ's 3.1.1 ROM.
Not flashed the phone for a week or so but as of this afternoon my mobile network just sits at "Turning on.."
Will not connect data.
Wireless OK. just no data.
Ive not messed, installed, uninstalled anything for a while and this morning it was working ok.
Anyone got any ideas ?
+1. Same here. Was working fine, then I noticed the data icon was missing.
Have tried different roms, radios, etc. But no joy.
Any help, gratefully received on this matter.
Just out of interest, what network are you on?
Edit. Definitely something wrong with Orange. Unable to connect to my account with the Orange app.

+1 same stock 2.2.1 with orange. No data

I have had the same problem, but had related it to a dodgy data import from MyBackupPro as it was working and then wasn't. Nothing I did would bring it back apart from a factory reset. I didn't reload the data and it's been OK so far but it could be a similar problem.
I am on stock Gingerbread.
Just flashed a new ROM, problem solved. Couldn't be bothered waiting months no doubt for orange to update to 2.3 and put all their crapware on it.

?
by saying no data you mean in 3g networks?
Yeah 3g

see if you stuck NPC data in the phone company
I’ve experienced this too when I was in some areas, it happened in place you’ve been before and used 3g?
In my country whenever I go to the beach I lose 3g network and it keeps trying to connect...
Probably you know it, but...
If you use widget to turn on/off your data, and if you changed ROM from older to Gingerbread, it seems that this doesn't work. It is partially true- widget doesn't work anymore, but you can still turn on/ off your data from upper dock -> quick settings -> cellular network data (or something similar )
Me too, and I'm running stock 2.3.3 on Vodafone UK. No icon by signal strength bars, although apparently signal strength at -75dBm.
I can force it into 2G by selecting GSM only and the icon comes back, but not so for WCDMA only.
Also noticed in Quick settings from pull down notification bar that 'Mobile Network' is always 'Turning on...' and won't toggle.
Any ideas?
hi. i have the gsm galaxy nexus.
right now for some reason i can only use wifi ! when i close wifi the signal bar wot display that it is connected via 3g/hspa+

WTF IS THIS ?!?!?!?!

Did you enter the right APN settings for your carrier?

Where are you, is your phone SIM locked? Does the SIM work in other devices? Do you have the right APNs? are you rooted?
Did you accidentally toggle data off? Data usage isn't going to do crap.
Go to your Mobile Network settings and make sure it's on.
hey guys,
got a i317m from canada with the stock bell rom with root. everyone week or two, i'll notice im not getting any data (messages and other data apps wont work). the lte symbol is there, but the little arrows for upstream and downstream are clear (usually orange or blue when working).
i tried rebooting, wifi on/off, airplane on/off and still the same. i confirmed lte is selected and the apn is selected and duse data is selected. it seems to start working when i start messing with the roaming options (havent confirmed this completely as i am still trying to narrow it down).
one thing i just noticed is that when it starts working, its in hspa mode, not lte
any suggestions?
I have the opposite issue in Michigan. If I lose LTE I will lose hsdpa even though the icon shows 4G. I can see the data curves moving up and down but no data. Sometimes jumping in and out of airplane mode fixes it. Also I see the 4G Hsdpa icon and the WiFi icon active at the same time even though I'm using WiFi. Very annoying.
