Using data over wifi means mobile data instead of wifi data. Its not always. Its random.
My phone is not switching to wifi sometimes even when connected. I was connected to wifi. And disabled my data and it was still using cell data. I had to disable both and then reenable wifi to use it.
Anyone else having this issue?
I am on clean rom 4.0. I think it happened yesterday on blackout rc3 aswell.
I used a gig of data for no reason.

Hi,I've noticed that once the WiFi hotspot settings is turned on on my mobile,the phone itself tends to consume data at the same time as the other WiFi enabled device is accessing the data connection.is this a normal thing? Or is there a setting that'll prevent the phone from accessing data at the same time as my tablet or laptop.Cos with both device using the hotspot,more data tend to be consumed which means I'll have to top up my data plan earlier than expected.Thanks in advance.
The way in which it works is that your phone gets used as a modem. Since when you enable hotspots, the phone can only do 1 thing. Either be a hotspot or have a wifi connection, not both. So when you enable hotspot it disables the wifi and uses your mobile data instead, thus your phone being a modem... so to speak.

Does anyone know how to fix this issue? My phone seems to get confused about if it should be connected through wifi or 3g/4g for data. For example, if I am at home and connected to my wifi, then get in the car and leave without disabling wifi, the phone acts as if it does not recognize the 3g/4g connection at all. It will just tell me I have no network connection since I am out of range of wifi. Same happens when I am connected with 3g/4g and I walk/drive by a wifi area and I do not join the network. The open app that is using data will then loose its connection and tell me there is no network connection. Simply disabling my wifi and restarting the app does not work. I often have to reboot the phone or turn off my mobile data signal and then enable it to establish a connection.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have this problem also, I will have something like streaming music playing then when I am out of range of wifi it dose not go to 3g on verizon. If I don't have any thing using wifi and disable it before going out of range and starting a stream no problem, but when it happens I switch to airplane mode then back and it works fine.
Your not the only one who has this problem.

Same here. Not sure what's causing it. I have to go into airplane mode, which itself seems to take ages, and then turn off airplane mode to establish 3g connection.
I thought it may be a mess up from aokp, and after a clean wipe and flash it seemed fine, but then started showing the same behavior , failing to comnect to 3g after exiting wifi zone.
Does anyone have an answer for this problem? Is it a hardware glitch or software or app caused problem?
Any help would be dearly appreciated too!
Known issue in AOSP right now..

Thanks for the info. Glad to hear it doesn't seem like a hardware problem, though I have yo admit I didn't see it on the aokp wikis ... Would you know if it's a problem for an unknown minority our a more general one?
So, I guess, then stock room should be fine? I was only on stock for a few days before flashing aokp. Going back would be a nuisance, but if I can have armless transition from wifi to 3g, then I guest I should -( ...
Any talk on when it may be solved in the aosp community?

I saw some other threads on this but no fixes.
Is there a fix?
Are you manually disabling your mobile data when on WiFi? When its auto-disabled as WiFi comes on, it should re-enable long enough to send MMS unless there's a bug.
No, definitely not disabling mobile data. I couldn't on Android Revolution and now can't on the stock rooted IMM76K.
That's really odd. The mobile data should kick on, send your mms,then go back to wifi. That's how mine does it.
Mine sends fine... My mobile data never even shows kicking in

Mine sends fine as well over WiFi.
I've noticed this on several recent JB ROMs (but haven't tried on stock yet)
Phone starts up, mobile data works.
Use Wifi for a while, then turn it off. Mobile data does not come back on automatically.
Either have to toggle mobile data or toggle airplane mode to get mobile data back again.
Anyone else having this issue?
*EDIT* Problem solved. The issue was with Wifi Calling.
When wifi calling was enabled, turning off wifi would not let the phone automatically switch to mobile data.
Disabling wifi calling has fixed this problem. Hope this can help others

Never had that happen to me on CM10 stable.

Never happened here...??
I found the answer to the problem, see OP
One thing I have noticed recently is that when my phone is connected to wifi and then disconnects (because I leave my house, for instance), the phone will switch to mobile data, but the data will not work, ie I don't see any data going up or down. This will be even when it clearly shows 4G on the phone and shows full bars.
Turning the mobile data off and on in the quick settings seems to then restore data connectivity, but it's very irritating to pull out my phone in the car and try to pull up Google Maps to no avail.
Anyone else experienced this problem? Is there a permanent fix for it?
