Like the title says, i keep turning data roaming off but when i check later (sometimes just a few seconds later) i find that it has turned itself back on.
im running stock sony UI 14.2.1.114
anyone have any idea what it could be? Google was little to no help. Apparently this doesnt seem to happen to anyone else

So yeah, I have been noticing that my Desire running on the latest MildWild software (and Cyanogenmod 7.2) for that matter has been trouble keeping it's connection constant on Whatsapp.
Basically, it stops 'reporting' when it comes to 'last seen'. Sometimes I have to turn off Wifi (It is mostly on Wifi, can't recall it being the same story on 3G but I think so too) to fix the connection. Other times it just reconnects after a minute.
This happens when the screen is turned off and back on.
It's getting a kind of annoying and I have no idea where to look. I've checked my modem and router and both are fine.
Anyone else with this problem? Any ideas how I can fix this? Also, Wifi Sleep Policy has been set to 'Never'.
the same galaxy s3

i feat that its dragging down the battery.
i turn it off... and bam.. later. ..somewheres else..
it comes back on.
any suggestions on how to stop this?
thanks to all replies given
mine does it too. Im not rooted either.
I think its the connection optimizer, even tho I have never agreed to its terms, it still runs in the background and wants to switch on the wifi.
I think the only solution would be to root and remove the connection optimizer with titanium. Thats just a guess, I havent read much on the subject at all.
There is a switch in the option to turn it off. If not, try going g to manage apps and see if you can disable it.
Ok.... i found the switch..
goto settings...more networks....mobile networks...connections optimizer.
Read about what it does at the bottom notice box.
good luck
Anyone noticing the location GPS is funky? I typically turn my GPS off when not in use and I am finding that when using the PullDown toggle, the annoying Location Icon/Notification gets stuck on, and other times won't come on after its been off.
The only way to fix it is to turn it off and reboot, or turn it on and reboot. But after it gets toggles, it gets screwy again.
I haven't done much testing yet to see if it is just the icon or actually the GPS failing to toggle. Also I am wondering if going through settings to toggle is a work around.
I am out of town for work but wanted to quickly throw it out there to see if anyone others experience this weird behavior. I don't have time this week to really sit down and play with it, so a quick fix (if available) is known.
+1 on this. Just noticed the other day when I had to navigate to a party. I arrived and turned off location and it was still stuck in notification tray. Think it went away eventually, but I didn't have time to reboot so not sure what happened. Will keep an eye on it next time though.
Also, noticed the phone has trouble switching from 1x back to 4g. Has to use airplane mode to cycle the radio.
Yea I noticed that too. Again I am traveling and normally have GPS off and only turn it on when I actually launch Google Maps.
I was listening to Pandora mostly with no issues on my 8hr drive but twice, I think, I had to toggle airplane mode to get back data.
The Location notification is ridiculous. I mean its stupidly annoying already but now its getting stuck.

Just chiming in. I haven't noticed these problems. Then again I've only been on MM for 5 days now.
I get the location icon stuck in the tray as well. Reboot is the only cure.
New Wifi lag is the biggest problem for me on MM.

You really only notice it if you turn off Location, the little PIN notification gets stuck and doesn't go away on the status bar and notification that says Location on or something.
Pretty annoying.
Also my wifi just randomly stops working. I have to disconnect, reconnect and it starts again. Different topic though.

Ah ok, I hadn't had that problem. As of last night I downgraded and then rooted and removed bloatware. So doubt I'll see them problems. Though I am facing a few minor ones mainly with the all apps dual window mod. But like you said that's a different topic. Main reasons I downgraded was of course because I like full control over something I own. But wanted the 60fps video recording which I'm pretty sure we can all agree should have been included with the G4. I also finally found a nice work around for enabling silent mode with the actual volume button since the xposed module with true silent didn't work for the G4. Sorry I'm getting off topic here. But hope you find a fix.
Yea I was good with lollipop. Marshmallow hasn't included anything except bugs. I resisted the upgrade for a while but I was not rooted and the System Update popping up constantly was drivingme crazy.
A6 fixed a few annoying bugs for me but brought others.
The location notification getting stuck can happen even with location on, I never turn mine off.
Biggest problem for me WiFi disconnecting at 15%, and needing a reboot to reconnect.
Yea the location notification does get stuck regardless if turned off or not.
I ended up getting rid of the G4 because of the problems. (Qi Charging, wifi disconnects, etc).
I work in an office thats underground, Cell reception is almost non-existent. So I depend on WiFi to keep my phone in touch with the 'net. Otherwise, my battery just drains before lunch time.
Because of this, I have to make sure that my phone DOES NOT turn off wifi while it's asleep. Otherwise, while its sleeping, it will just eat up the battery as my phone tries to report my every action to Google, and check my email.
I had this working perfectly, and then I decided to try out Android N developer preview, used it for a few days, and then factory reset the phone to go back to M. No big deal, I've done this sort of thing a thousand times with my various phones, and this is part of why I bought a Nexus this time around.
After the reset, I cant seem to convince my phone to keep it's wifi on during sleep. The option is set in the advanced wifi settings to keep wifi on during sleep always. Yet every time i turn off the screen and set my phone down, it goes silent, until I pick it up and unlock it. If it sits long enough, when I unlock it, I actually see the wifi icon missing from my status bar, and it comes on after a few second,s and then the notifications come flooding in. It's obviously doing something that disables wifi when the screen is not active.
This is killing my battery, because even though wifi is off, it's still doing its thing, trying to keep in touch with its various sync services. Its attempting to depend on cell service, which most of the time is flat out non-existent at my desk.
So what can I do to fix this? Is it possible something didnt get cleanly wiped when I reinstalled the stock rom after my foray into N? I've tried doing things like wiping dalvik, but that hasnt helped. I've also received the April OTA since then, and nothing regarding th WiFi problem has changed.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
The only thing I can think to try is removing your known WiFi networks and adding it back.
In the mean time as a work around, you can disable mobile data so when WiFi does drop out it switches over to a voice only signal.

I have tried clearing out the saved wifi network for work, and re-joining it. Didnt help. I even went so far as to have the network guys de-authorize my phone, so when i rejoined it would be like it was never there before. Also didnt help.
What were the steps you took to return to stock?
I've checked around and have seen other phones with the issue, but I've tried the fixes like forgetting network and resetting network settings. Ever since mm, every time my phone screen shuts off, it disconnects from wifi, kind of. I will still be connected jn settings, but it says no Internet available. I have to reconnect every time, and then it will work until my screen goes off again. I feel like this is killing my data since I don't always notice it. Has anyone had this problem and fixed it? I'm completely stock, no root or anything. Just did a factory reset a week ago and hoping I don't have to do it again since I'm finally set back up.
Have this issue with both wifi and mobile data. Mine doesnt matter whether the screens been off or not. Its like it goes to sleep periodically no matter what. Never had the issue until the latest update. Its not tied to a specific app, so its either the radio or a bug in the phone.
