The pxt message comes through 3G that's why both your wifi and 3g are on at the same time.

3g is always running in the background when wifi is on but it will only notify you that its being used when you need that particular service. From what I understand voice calls are also placed through the 3g service but defaults to 2g when there strength of your 3g is not good enough.
Someone please correct me if I am wrong.
Cheers,

^ That's my understanding if it as well.
Not all carriers will make the phone show data activity indicator when receiving mms, but I think it's very common.

If you don't already know, the unlocked Bell HD7's 3G bands are the needed bands required for AT&T (850,1900). I received my unlocked Bell HD7 from Negri Electronics today and I was super excited to get it going on AT&T here in The States but ran into a very weird problem...
Basically, I can't connect to 3G/HSDPA/EDGE internet. Now, the weird thing is that it SHOWS I'm using AT&T and that indeed I am on HSDPA (see pics below). Calling and messaging work fine BTW. If I want to do anything requiring data, the 3G/HSDPA/EDGE connection won't work and I'm forced to use wifi.
I'm tired of hard-reseting and flipping switches on and off... I just hard-reset the bastard one last time and now I wait for your advise. What do I do? Thanks in advance

first, very jealous of you my friend. my guess is you would have to set up at&t apn. i don't know at&t apn setting so you would have to google that. hope you got it to work.
Sweet! I found the APN settings as you said and now I'm fully connected . Thank you very much!

Got this text today, too. Used about a gig of free wireless 4G tethering last night. Schmucks!
AT&T started sending out similar messages to iPhone users who were tethering.

Think of 4G like Wifi...(it is in fact Wifi's humongous younger brother, built for wide scale) Wifi and Wimax and 2G/3G and Bluetooth are different radios. The 2G/3G radio is the one all mucked up.
because 4g service is from Clearwire , and not sprint
is that Los or just a real no sign

I think I also hag a 3g signal happens two times today .last night I installed a Archidroid don't know if that caused my no service also I don't get a roaming warning anymore .I'm all stock

Had that happen to me except I had full bars but no cell service. When I turned 4g off, the 3g symbol would cone back but no data. Reset fixed. damn los.

This is really bizarre to me...when I'm on 4G, it randomly hangs up if and seemingly only if I have μTorrent running while also having AndChat connected to a server (4G icon will stay lit showing data transfer despite there being none, and apps will take their sweet time to timeout instead of giving "no network connection" errors). Toggling airplane mode on/off gets my connection back, but the same thing happens after 15-30mins. μTorrent on its own seems to work fine and I can use other programs at the same time (e.g. youtube) without issues...just not irc.
It's not really a big deal, I'm just curious what would cause it. Currently running GB27 kernel/modem.

Any torrent app uses a huge amount of bandwidth. It will hog most if it and disable most apps from connecting correctly.

Yep... Basically do everything you need to do before you start downloading torrents.

If you mean what I'm showing in my picture, then don't worry. Your data isn't being used along with your WiFi and this is a known phenomenon (I mean, it's obviously happening to me too). No one has really been able to figure out exactly why it happens (to my knowledge).

I get it, too. Happens a couple times a week around the same time in the evenings. Doesn't seem to affect my data usage.
The AT&T visual voice mail app does this when you use it. It seems to always get its data from the cell network even when wifi is available. It's possible that other AT&T apps do likewise.

This isn't the cause because I've had Visual Voicemail disabled since updating to 5.1.1.
