Guys, need some help here.
I have WiFi at home, and when I'm home, I'm ALWAYS on WiFi. My mobile data is turned OFF.
Now, each time the phone is locked and when I unlock, the mobile data ALSO AUTOMATICALLY turns ON!
I then have to turn it off, and then it remains OFF. But then again, the same thing happens when the device is unlocked.
I tried talking to HTC over the phone, and they told me to do a restart, which I did, but no luck. I really don't want to do a factory default setting. I want to keep that as my last option.
Any idea what seems to be the issue here? It seems to me that it has something to do with the screen ON and OFF time.
PLEASE HELP!

Go To Settings => More => Usage. Turn OFF the Mobile Network (first) option.
Think this should do.
Cheers
I don't know what You mean by data on, do you have working mobile data and wi-fi simultaneously?
You may want to check this: Settings->Wi-Fi->Advanced-> Keep Wi-Fi active when sleep and set it to active.
@veerm, p3v4x, thanks. I figured out the problem. I had installed this app called, Battery Defender, and that was what was causing this to happen. Uninstalled it, and am happy again

I live in Canada.
I only want an Xperia Play as a wi-fi only device, to play emulators, listen to music, take pictures, just something I can have with me on trips and use as a mini-android tablet. I do not have a cell phone, I don't plan on using it as a cell phone, I don't really like cell phones. I never plan on putting a sim card in this thing ever or making a single phone call on it.
I ordered a Verizon Xperia Play from eBay because it was super cheap compared to everyone else.
My question is this:
Will I have to do anything to this device to use it as I have stated above? Or will I just be able to use it right away.
Thanks very much for the help.
If thats the way you want it, you'll have to disable mobile data, and background data. This will keep it from trying to connect to anything.
The cell radio will stay on for the emergency call feature. But this can also be completely disabled if you turn on Airplane mode. Which disables everything. you can turn this off when you want to connect to Wifi.
Thanks very much, that was very helpful and concise. Cheers!
Actually, you can turn airplane mode on, and then turn WiFi on. You don't need to go out of Airplane to do that....
This is how I use my Xperia Play. I don't have a sim card in it. I leave it in "Airplane mode," and then turn on WiFi when I need it. I leave "Background data" enabled so I can access the Android Market when WiFi is up. Also FPse needs to check in every now and then, or else it goes into limited mode. I think Background data needs to be enabled for this to happen. Airplane mode keeps battery usage low so I can keep playing.

Really? Didn't know that, thought airplane mode stopped thing from being enabled.
Yes you can turn on WiFi while in Airplane mode. It keeps the cell radio, GPS, etc off.

Ok then guess I'll recap for the OP:
Turn on Airplane mode
Thats is all. Aparently you can keep background data enabled, it just won't do anything until you turn on Wifi, which works when airplane mode is turned on.
Problem solved.
Thanks, at least I know I don't have to do major modifications. I had visions of a nag screen preventing me from using the device if there was no sim card in it.
Well technically theres no nag screen, but you will have an error in the status bar saying that there no sim card.
Yeah, that's not a big deal.
r800x doesn't require a sim card period lmao so you'll never get that message
Well that's good to know too.
Fine he'll get an error saying no network connection....picky picky.....

Actually I have a CDMA R800x that I use this way and I don't get that error. Then again I am rooted running Turbo Kernel with P.A.C. Man rom.
Maybe that's why?
Before I unlocked my bootloader though, I don't remember ever getting an error message. I do remember everytime I rebooted there was a nag screen that said "your phone is not activated would you like to activate it?" but the choices were activat or skip.
i have a samsung galaxy note 2. i got a popup msg from att alerting me that i was exceeding my plans data limit. shortly thereafter, i noticed wifi wasnt on. i tried to toggle it on, but the button was greyed out and would not allow me to slide it to the on position. it seems to be permanently off. i have powered off the phone, taken out the battery and sim and sd card, powered it back on, still not able to select the on switch on wifi. i reset my router, still nothing. i downloaded wifi fixer, still nothing. i have been reading up on this and it seems no one knows what gives. my phone is not rooted. i have turned off wifi power saver. i have not performed a hard reset as most posts i have read said that didnt work. i'm at a loss.
bluetooth is working

I had something similar in that I would turn on wifi and it would not turn on. Tried everything you did, even the hard reset w/ no love.In my case once I turned off Bluetooth and tried to turn it back on it began exhibiting the same behavior. I was able to "fix it" by booting up in safe mode, turning on the wifi (and BT in my case), and then rebooting. It has been working since then without issues.
I have the T-Mobile G4 and every time I reboot the phone, WiFi turns on. I never use WiFi and so always leave it powered off, yet still on a reboot I know it's going to be turned back on.
Does this happen to others as well? Any idea why or how to keep it off?
Nobody has this issue?
I have a T Mobile H811 G4 and this happens to me too... In fact both data and Wifi get enabled... No idea about how to keep it off here...
Tmobile my account app then menu options then manage Wi-Fi then uncheck. Your welcome

Just got my H7x Saturday and am blowin away that a phone this nice can be had for under $200usd.
Anyways, Whenever I have the phone connected to the power-cord(charging) the screen won't turn off. I'll wait for the 60sec I have it set to, fade, the screen turns off, and then right back on immediately. Does the same when connected to USB on a windows computer. Charging only, file transfer etc. does it no matter the mode.
Any input with help would be greatly appreciated... Thank you

This setting is normally defaulted to off, but check the development option "stay awake"
No, it's set to off. But good call.
It seems like the screen saver would make it do this too. I just noticed that everytime the screen comes on, it's a different picture. However, settings>display>screen saver is off.
Just figured it out.
Under settings>Apps and notif...>notification and status bar> I had 'notifications turn on screen' turned on. That's what was causing it. Strange...
Can anyone else test for this?

Most users are on roms right now, I suggest you do he same.
And, no need for other people to test for this, you fixed the problem.

I guess I could root and rom. I am just so impressed with the battery on the stock rom I was going to try and keep it as long as I can.
What ROM do you suggest?
And I didn't fix the issue. Just turned it off... Its still an issue for people who want thier screen to turn on when they get notifacations.
Thanks for the help!

Openkirin roms are good, but the support chat in telegram is a bit toxic...
Also, any hi6250 rom will work well, like with the p8 lite 2017; roms there work on the honor 7x too, i've tested.
My phone appears to be screwed and I don't know why or what happened, I'm super bummed. I've tried turning WiFi, mobile data, airplane mode on off, restarting in safe mode, etc. and nothing I've been able to do works to get WiFi or Mobile Connection to work again.
Right now I'm trying to kill the battery since that's what happened before the last time I used it but I don't know how that will help.
Anybody have some ideas on why or how this could happen? Phone is great otherwise.
Could a Factory Reset help?
