[Q] Fails to automatically connect to mobile data after Wifi

Does this happen to anyone else? Quite often if I've been using the N2 in my home, when I go out and about my phone will not be connected to mobile data (3G) and I have to toggle airplane mode for it to kick in?

Not had this myself, sounds like the cellular connection is going to sleep and not waking when your note 2 polls for a connection. Are you on a stock rom or a custom, can you post your android version number as well, will help anyone else who posts who may have more information for you.
If your rooted you could try pulling a log at the time you switch connections see if that yields any useful data.

Same here on a german device. I use manually select the Provider. Then it connect. Thank you for the tip with the airplane mode. But I search a way to kick this big. In a german forum a member says that a Fullwipe helps.

Its a stock rooted ROM version JRO03C.N7100XXALJ1
Can anyone tell me what to look for in order to create a log? (I don't expect a tutorial just someone point me in the right direction).
The problem is intermittent.

Give this a go, should allow you to create a log during the time you have the problem then you can see what android is or is not doing at the time.

Not something I have had myself but my gf has this same problem with her gs3. After having a look around our seems to be fairly common on the gs3 so any help with a fix would be great. I can only assume that it's something that will be fixed with a fw update from Samsung.

I have the same issue and so does my girlfriend on her SIII.. Can be really annoying as I might leave somewhere with wifi connectivity expecting the phone to automatically connect to 3g and I miss things like whatsapp messages with no warning :/
When I realise I do use the flight mode trick to fix it but it's annoying that it happens.

Facebook (build 132866) won't stop downloading

I get this notification that says it's downloading. But when I go to app info. It's from downloads instead of the Play Store. I don't know what it is. When I disable the app. Everything stops working; Play store, Chrome, Facebook, etc. I was just wondering if anyone else had this problem?

I didn't download anything. I noticed it on my way home. It initiated randomly. And it won't finish, or even stop. It isn't showing in the downloads either.
****edit
I found it in the downloads a couple hours after the problem started. I don't have a full solution, which sucks.

Might be it is sync ur gallery with fb photos. Uninstall app and reinstall.

I'm experiencing this exact problem, also initiated on its own. I uninstalled and reinstalled Facebook but that did not affect the perpetual downloading of this. Nor have several phone restarts, etc.

solution!!!
I don't know you already fix this problem or not.
I searched several site and finally got an answer for this problem.
Just connect WiFi and let it do whatever it want.
Before I found this, I tried several things;
1. restarted my phone
2. pulled out battery and put back
3. killed the process from task manager
4. removed FB account
5. removed FB app from my phone (actually, back to previous version) and update again
Non of these helped me ever!!!
Also, this problem is not device specific. (I realize it after googling it)
I mean various devices and locations had the same issue.
Anyway, good luck!!!

Thanks. Connecting it to wifi did allow it to finish the unending installation very quickly. That was annoying and I'd like to know why an update initiated on its own, seemingly from within the app and not through the Play store (I do not have any auto-updates allowed, especially for social media apps), and drained my battery while it looped an install process that was apparently constantly seeking a wifi signal to complete.

Thanks a lot!!

I started having this issue today on my Galaxy Tab 2. The only solution people found on different forums is ti turn on WiFi. It'll immediately start downloading and would get installed (Probably due to its size it does not want to be downloaded on 3G/4G). Although I don't feel very comfortable installing this, Does not feel very genuine to me.
Did any one else had this problem? or any issues after installing it?

I had to switch to Wifi about 3 or 4 times and then it finally downloaded. It tried to download all of last night and killed the battery. In the mean time my phone has switched to using Edge instead of 4g and no matter how many times I switch Airplane mode on/off or restart the phone I can't get my 4g back. Think it is just a local problem? I've got a S3 on T-mobile in Orange County, CA.

[Q] No connection- Retry error on google apps with 2G/3G

I am at my wits end here.
I changed operators about a month ago, from a weak operator to the best operator in my Country(with the strongest signal). Ever since then, I don't know if it's a coincedence, I am experiencing this incredibly annoying error. Ironically, with my previous operator who had a much worse signal this never happened before. The only difference here is that my previous operator used a regular micro SIM card and my new operator is using something called USIM. I don't know if that has anything to do with it.
It doesn't happen every time, it's really sporadical, sometimes it works everytime, sometimes it doesn't. I open Gmail and I receive a "No connection" and a retry button. I go to Play Store and get the same thing, my Gtalk gets disconnected. I hit the retry button and sometimes it connects immediatelly and sometimes I have to tap it numerous times.
What's weird about it, I always have the strongest HSDPA signal, full bars and browsing the web works. It's just the Google apps that get disconnected. It is incredibly annoying.
Things I have tried to solve this:
1. Clear cache and data for all gapps
2. Clear dalvik
3. messed with my APN settings(they are 100% correct, checked with the operator)
4. Full wipe
5. Repair with PC Companion with no additional apps installed.
6. New SIM from my operator
Nothing has helped. This keeps happening. I have no idea what to do.
Does anyone have any idea how to solve this? Any idea is appreciated. I am running ICS 6.1.A.2.55.
Thanks

I get the same problem sometimes. Usually while activating wifi, but it happens when i'm on 2G/3G as well. Totally random and i'm on a weaker operator.
On 2.55 as well (no mods at this moment), with ics17 kernel

Maybe Google is blocked its services for your operator. Try psiphon3 for android and "Tunnel whole device".

Could you please elaborate on this? How does this app work, what's the point? I just installed it and I'm not sure what I will accomplish with this.

Run the app and check the "Tunnel whole device". When it is successfully connected, a green dot will appear.
After that, test Google apps.
Report result please.

so, anything from google (stock browser, youtube, gmail, play store) are having retry error ? but apps like whatsapp, viber, opera browser just run flawlessly ? if thats the problem.. like i mention above, download 3g reconnect. the apps seems to force google apps to use data connection instead staying idle.
i recommend that apps bcause im having the same problem, having retry error on youtube and play store, and gmail just wont sync but opera and whatsapp run like normal.
read the description on that apps before download.

Play Store Download Errors

Yesterday I had some apps that had new updates on the play store, so I started to update them.
I started seeing one wouldn't go through because it was giving "Package file invalid". So I tried over WiFi and same issue.
Got home and looked at my two tablets (Nexus 7-2012 and asus tf101) and they were having similar issues with updates, but different apps. I was also even getting download error #497. Sometimes just trying over and over again would work but now it seems like some apps just wont go due to the errors.
I tried clearing the cache/data of play store and download manager as google suggests, but that did not help. I've tried to use google's contact us form but I type this lengthy description of my issue and it tells me that I need to type more... (probably a glitch in their contact us form...) So I cant get something sent to them.
My girlfriend just got the S4 for sprint yesterday and now she is having the same issue, some apps wont download due to invalid package.
Is anyone else having this issue? Any suggestions on what can be done? Anyone think this is a issue on google's end?
Also, of my devices only the tf101 is rooted at the moment. Had some issues where I had to do factory restore on my GS4 and haven't rooted it again yet, and nexus 7 I kept reverted back to stock to get official 4.3

If they're system apps use a root explorer and delete them and install them again (if they're available on the playstore) if they're not then install them delete data and cache and remove your account and launch playstore and sign in and it should fix it... Remember if u delete an app with a root explorer you have ti reboot for it to take effect... And also fix permissions...

ive also been having errors with this. im on revolt 8/6 build and using PA gaps. but i have also tried with normal gaps, and get the same. its funny because it only happens with certain apps, and the apps that have the error change everytime i flash a different gaps. And yes, it even happens on newly installed apps.
Though to fix, i just turn off wifi and use data, its inconvenient but its a workaround until the actual problem is identified

I dont think that will work because if it happening across multiple devices with and without root then I'm thinking it's a issue on Google's end. Plus my phone is not rooted anymore.

go to play store, open menu go to settings and there is an option for auto update. I believe the default is to update over wifi only.

I was reading something earlier tonight (after having problems with 10.2 unofficial and getting error 497 with every file I tried to download) that Google was having problems with a few different ISP's and the Play store connections. Some people with the Nexus 7 (2013) were getting this error straight out of the box. Updates sometimes worked via Mobile network, but WiFi would fail with an error code or say package invalid every time.

Yeah, I just saw some articles on it finally. Sounds like everyone is reporting the same issue no matter what version of play store etc.

Use a VPN. Apps that refuse to update on my Wi-Fi network seem to update or download successfully if I use something like Hideman or Hideninja. I've not had problems with either. I can't vouch for their security, but Play Store reviews seem mostly positive for each. I use Hideninja VPN because it's free without time restrictions whereas with Hideman, you're limited to 5 hours each week and the shortest length of time you can activate is a 1 hour block.

I had read about using a VPN over the weekend, just needed to find a app to use. Hideninja did the trick and my apps all updated finally.
The hardest part was trying to download hideninja... it wouldn't download on my phone haha but luckily I have helium on all my devices and its set up with my google drive so it thankfully downloaded on another device.

(Google Wallet) Tap & Pay Setup Failed

help Tap & Pay Setup Failed i reinstalled and contacted Google about iSSUE.. DOES ANYONE KNOW OF FIX?

So if within the Wallet app you goto "Settings" then "About" does it say "Tap and pay" "NfcPaymentSetupFailure: 11"?
If so, there are a number of people having that issue including me. I've filed tickets with Google but haven't gotten any solutions yet.
Wallet used to work for my device however a couple months back it stopped and the NFC part never started working again.

It says UNAVAILABLE (NFCPAYMENTSETUPFAILURE:1)

Mine says the same message. It means youre locked out from the secure element. You will never have tap and pay on that phone.
The only solution is to bring it to sprint, show them the problem, and tell them your secure element is broken.
Uninstall wallet updates and the message will day "secure element not responding E00"

Is this confirmed? Because Google Wallet support has stated nothing of this sort to me is my correspondence with them. Granted, I they did not ask about the info on the "About" screen, but I've been back and forth with them quite a bit and it's never come up.
Strange, because Wallet worked just prior to the last official update for me. No other changes -- did not change ROM, recovery, or anything else.

There's nothing quite like Google Wallet, but there a number of other mobile payment apps available -- Level Up, Wallet (Pay with Square), Paypal mobile app -- each had a relatively small install base as far as merchants go. Most merchants that use these services seem to be smaller cafés, etc.

Mine said the same and I was able to get it to work by doing the steps I mentioned.

This has not worked for me. I have tried reinstalling, with and without power cycles, including battery pulls, multiple times. I wonder if this could have anything to do with being rooted, having avast security, or something of that nature.

Unfortunately, I just tried you steps again (not reinstalling) with the same results. Oh well.
I think my next step would be to wipe the phone and start from scratch to see if that will work...

Like I stated code 1 is the secured element locking you out. The damn thing id buggy and some people have had it lock them for no reason.
Mine happened because I factory reset before ckearing the data from wallet.
If when you fladh back to stock unrooted and its still broken, bring it to sprint and show them the error (on the stock un updated version)

I got this with the new update. I reset the app, rolled back updates, set it up and then upgraded and am fine.

Ha! I never had an issue setting it up after the new change. Everything went through fine, however using it yesterday my transaction failed. Reason it said it failed was because tap n pay wasn't set up nor was there a card selected. Stupid thing is the app shows tap n pay is set up n I do have a card selected. Never had an issue on the old wallet..
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda app-developers app

I was worried, tap-n-pay wouldn't set up earlier, couldn't use wallet at a store wh n it had worked previously on this install of this rom. (synergy) After reading this thread, I checked and I got the code 11 thing, thought maybe I was f*cked with the secure element. But a quick clear data/cache and a force stop, restart the app, all seems fine. Says I'm ready to tap-n-pay. Cool.

I started getting this after 4.3 upgrade
I am going to attempt a fix file I used a while back I think for S3 I had but it is labelled JBWALLETFIX so it might work or help. I shall let yall know what comes of this. It worked for a long while and then a few days ago when I did the 4.3 update....I get this error. I called and escalated a ticket with Google but doubt they care. More to come. If the zip works I will post it.

Success....Apply this....Fixed!
Apply this zip in recovery and it fixes the problem. I think perhaps there may be some weird issue with updates they did recently and being rooted because the lady asked me "are you rooted?" and I lied and said NO I think some apps do look at root but wtf is with the OS all of a sudden breaking if I give it SU access? I did Unix admin and that should not occur at all. Simply gives a person access to system files. Sure if you delete something essential...you bork it. Anyhow here is the file

I had some NFC fc issues (could have been old modules, 4.3 modules, was unsure...) but determined if I use 4.1.2 version of the files which I attached to this....should be all good.
---The two APK files go into /System/app
---The three .so files go into /System/lib
use favorite file explorer to do that manually and reboot
