[Q] 4g disappears when I try to connect to the internet - LG Optimus G Pro

I have an LG Optimus G Pro. Every time I try to get on the Internet it does nothing. It goes nowhere. The instant I try to get on the Internet the 4G icon disappears on the notification bar. The WiFi Internet works fine. This appeared to happen after I downloaded some apps. I'm using Simple Mobile.
Please help!

So it happens when you're NOT connected to WiFi?

Have you checked the APN settings?

Definitely your APN settings. Same happened to me on T-Mobile before I fixed it in the call settings.

WiFi tethering disconnects when phone sleeps

Has there been a fix about using WiFi tethering and phone disconnects when it sleeps? This has been a problem since ICS update. I haven't seen a solution, so if one is out there, I would appreciate the feedback.

Go to settings> wireless> wifi settings and press menu button. Open advanced settings , there u ll find Wifi sleep policy. Choose "never"
I had it on "always", changed it per your instructions. Will see if this works. Will change back when using WiFi, at my friends residence.

Doesn't work, still disconnects. It has nothing to do with the Mobile on WiFi, but when using the Mobile as a WiFi modem to use pc to get a broadband connection.

Cm10.1 data switching issue

When I turn on my data it switches between 3g and 4g and I can't even figure it out
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
That is how it is supposed to work, nothing to figure out.
My gfs phones never switches or anything my phones does all the time
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
What is she on and it never switches to what? If she hasn't updated her modem it will stay on 3g all the time. It is like this on every AOSP rom for our phone. Unless there is a theme that edits it out.
If speedtest says it's fine, it's fine.
It just switches from 4g to 3g all the time but I guess I'll have to live with it

Eye ball App

Does any one know what the eyeball with eyelashes up on my notification is? Also why when using Boat browser or any other browser it won't download video no more thru my regular data but it does thru my wifi? I had the G2 and it would work fine, just switched and it's not working any more.

i believe it is the smart stay or smart scroll

It defaults to WiFi automatically (if it's available) to save use on your data plan. You can configure it to use data connection only in the advanced WiFi settings, not sure why you would want to, but the option is available.
And yes, the eye is smart stay/scroll etc... , you can turn it off by going into controls >smartscreen >smartstay. Keeps the screen on as long as it detects your looking at it ..

the wifi issues on this phone are unreal! my phone constantly looses the wifi connection. but the kicker is it doesn't tell me it just stops and there is no connection so im not getting any messages and I don't know until I look at the phone.
and then it occasionally literally refuses to turn on the wifi radio, its only happened twice... it says turning on wifi and stays like that. I was curious so I didn't touch the phone and reset the router.. the phone then turns on the wifi radio and attempts to connect to the network of course it gets stuck obtaining the ip address (another issue)
I restart the wifi on the phone and it connects no problem. very strange issues that ruin an other wise perfect phone
I actually wasted date like gig was downloading a big rom on 2% it was on wifi when I look at it again was on 80% it was on mobile data didn't realize it switched over I was so pissed .

Mobile connection/mhl-hdmi adapter issue

I have the Samsung OEM mhl-hdmi adapter, and when I connect it to my TV my mobile network turns off. Like an "x" showing near my bars. Running slesh's 4.3 sts 1.2 odex rom. But I noticed it on jellybomb

Is anyone else experiencing this issue? My wifi connection will stay on just fine but not the mobile connection. So no 3g/4G, can't receive calls or texts.

I have the same issue using classic rom but I have 3 phones cloned to same number so irt is not really an issue for me.

Yeah I have my number linked up to my note 8.0. But when I don't have my tablet on me, it can be a pain. Not as bad as my old evo 4g, there was no way to keep text or calls in the background when connected to hdmi, interrupted all movies lol

Moved to Q&A.
I believe its the adapter not so much the phone. I have a third party adapter and when I first got it I would lose reception. Now I actually get reception and dont even use wifi to stream movies or shows..
