No idea if this is the right place to post, new here, bare with me.
I decided to try one of the 5.x ROMs on my Nexus, and have been poking around with the Unofficial CM 12.1 by zzpianoman. Got it flashed and all, did a factory reset to make everything nice and fresh, and worked on getting everything set back up on it. The issue I'm running into, is that as soon as I turn on and connect to my Wi-Fi, my mobile data shuts off completely and won't connect unless I turn my Wi-Fi off, which results in all incoming and outgoing MMS's to fail.
I've read that the mobile data shutting off when on Wi-Fi is a feature, but that it's supposed to toggle back on for MMS's. I've even tried setting the Auto-Retrieve MMS settings in the stock messenger app, but nothing works.
If anyone has any insight or suggestions as to what might remedy this, I would be most grateful!

Hi,
can anyone please help me? I recently downloaded and used JuiceDefender on my Desire. I configured a setting that allows the phone to learn what are the Wifi networks that I like to connect to, based on location. I soon noticed that the phone randomely reboots so I uninstalled this application. Well, I completely lost control of my Wifi connection. Even if I turn it off in Android settings, the Wifi just starts by itself and starts scanning for networks, which completely drains my battery. I installed the application again and reversed the location wifi setting but it did not help.
I also did a backup then wiped up my phone, but the Wifi still starts by itself. Is there any solution to this?
Thank you!

and the did you restore your backup?? if so i woulfd advice to clear data juice defendre and maybe mail to dev'app
thank you for your answer.
First I uninstalled juicedefender. after seeing that wifi still gets connected, i backed up, i wiped all data on the phone and restored the back up, but without juicedefender (it was not included in the backup). As for the email to the developers, I did that, but I got a response like that: "I don;t think this is possible. Please install our beta application and enjoy." How helpful of them!
Some suggestions
I would be surprised if any app could reboot the phone, even if it crashed.
Do you use tasker or locale? They can start up the wifi.
You could try org.wahtod.wififixer
You could also use something like com.mapeapps.networkcounter to check what is using the wifi. You'll have to reboot after installing it to reset the counters, but then, if it locks on to a wifi straight away, you could see what's using the connection, and maybe work out what's starting it up?
Thank you, I will try what you said. Sometimes the Wifi is just starting, but sometimes it also starts when I open any application that requires an internet connection, even if my data connection is already on. I will come back to report on what you suggested. Thanks again!
I forgot to say that I am not using a tasker. I do have enabled the location services based on network, but I have always had that before, and if the wifi was disconnected in the android settings, then it stayed off. Now it just won;t stay off. The thing is that I don;'t even need wifi, I have a good data plan. But the damn wifi just starts by itself, scanning for networks all the time, draining my battery and interrupting my regular data connection. I am so frustrated! I never had problems with my Desire for one year, and now, after installing this JuideDefender, problems are coming in.
Ok there are a couple of things:
a) If your Wifi is still broken after you uninstalled JD it is most likely not JD who was / is the culprit. You even wiped, so how should JD do this?
b) JD does not turn Wifi back on when you manually turn it off (I am not 100% sure what happens during the training phase, while JD learns you Wifi-Locations, because in these 1-3 days JD might turn Wifi on in "random" locations to enhance the algorithm)
What does the log in JD say (anything about turning Wifi on?)?
Hello,
the JD log says: WIFI turned on by user.
Which of course I have not done. I think my phone is haunted. Leaving JD aside (even if this problem started only after I started to use JD), the problem still exists: my phone turns its WIFI connection by itself, even if I don't want that!
Hi all,
It has been a while since I've used the phone, and my fiancee wants to use it, so I fired it up again. However, I have noticed a problem, which I've actually always had, but which annoys her - MMS is not working.
Android versions:
I'm using the latest unofficial CM10 build floating around. I have previously also tried Jellytime, but it was even worse (see below).
Problem:
Whenever she tries to send an MMS, it basically knocks out data. I have googled, and seen that many others have had this problem. Data connection basically drops, the bar goes grey, and it won't return until i re-register the phone on the network, reboot, goes to flightmode or back, etc. Internet works, as long as I don't send any MMS-messages. I am unable to received them as well.
I have tried:
- googling my ass off,
- the official APN settings (one for web, one for mms),
- resetting APNs,
- default,supl + default,supl,mms as types,
- combining into one APN,
- various APN apps,
- reinstalling ROM,
- other ROM builds (Jellytime, was even worse, could only get data connection, when wifi was on and connected to a network, after a while i could then disable wifi and it would keep the data connection for a few hours).
- lots of other stuff...
Any ideas welcome.
Have you tried going back to stock?

Going back to android 2.x stock is not an option, sadly.
I do know that MMS worked fine when I got the phone some years ago. On a different network provider, though.
CM 9 and higher have issues with MMS as far as I know.
CM7 hasn't got any issues. And I believe each thread as a fix

Running CM11 on PagePlus. I cannot access the Internet. I was able to at one time. Thought it was the Rom so I flash CM10.1 and Stock rooted rom. I reactivated the phone after the installs. Every time it says the network is connected but I cannot connect to the Internet or send MMS. Starting to think it is the phone. Any ideas?
More info:
IP address is applied. Able to ping ip address but not some other known ip address. Traceroute does one hop to 66.174.216.161, which seems to be a Verizon ISP. Might try playing with apns-config.xml. I had tried the one I had when it was working previously but did not seem to change anything.
I'm new, but had similar problems

I'm not sure the MMS issue has been resolved, as of yet. Last time I check the Development thread it seemed like there wasn't yet a fix. Someone will correct me shortly if I'm mistaken, I'm sure.
The data problem you're having is one that I struggled with for a couple weeks in CM11... I don't know how much help I can be, because I'm not really sure what ended up actually fixing it for my dINC. All I know is that I spent about three hours dirty flashing and restoring from nand backups, sometimes the full backup and sometimes just partitions. I also threw in a *228 somewhere in there. Anyways, Through persistence, and sheer dumb luck, I finally have a pretty stable data connection, as long as I don't use the mode switcher in DUbattery(that seems to mess 3g up until reboot).
sometimes it helps to toggle airplane mode on then off.
Thanks for the tip. I toggled airplane mode on and off. I could then load google in the browser but it would not do anything after that. I have a new inc and an OG Evo coming in. Might have to retire my inc for the kid to play games on. My wife is using and OG Evo with no data or mms problems on 10.1 and I am sort of digging the larger screen. Also might be able to help zach with troubleshooting cm11 for the evo (supersonic).

Glad to know it was not just my phone. I am back on your 2/17 build and was worried there was some leftover firewall stuff even though I wiped everything except emmc and sd-card before the flash.
On another note. I have that other EVO coming in so should be able to load up CM11 and do some logging for you.
So I switched mobile data off this weekend with the silent profile and when I switched it back on using the default profile my data worked.

I'm glad you found a fix! On my dINC, I don't use the profiles, and mobile data crashes randomly. After flashing the March 23rd build, it has gotten somewhat better, but it always seems to skip out when I need it most... specifically.... when I use Google voice search to either dictate text messages or navigate to an address(delivery driver). the latter is especially frustrating, because I only use the navi when I'm already out of the store and can't find something, so no alternative available. Sometimes, even when the 3g symbol is full in status bar, I'll push the voice button and it will say, "cannot reach google *** etc" :crying:
I have an HTC M8 converted to GPE, running stock rooted Lollipop 5.0.1. I started having this problem fairly recently, previously everything was fine.
With my screen off, all push notifications are delayed significantly (at least 10-15 minutes on mobile data, 20-30 on wifi). Shortly after I turn the screen on, all delayed notifications start coming through. An interesting point to note is that on mobile data, I don't seem to lose the connection at all (as soon as I unlock my phone, I am connected to the internet) but with wifi, I get connection errors for the first 5-10 seconds.
So far I've tried: factory reset, reinstalling firmware (tried latest Sense, latest stock, and a few older versions), switching to a different ROM (SkyDragon). I'm running out of things to check because I've reinstalled everything that can be reinstalled. I've checked all the silly little things like restricting background data and I don't seem to be using any settings on my phone that could cause trouble. I've also tried several "push notification fixer" apps to no avail.
This is seriously making my phone useless to me, so I would appreciate any help. Thanks a lot.
Hopefully I word this right so i can clearly describe my issue. About a week ago I had a glitch with a custom ROM (I am rooted and S-OFF). Before the glitch I had zero issues, data worked created, WIFI worked great, handoff between the two seemed flawless. This is where i am at now.
After taking an absurdly long time to actually be able to wipe and reload a ROM, the issue started. Run just WIFI, no problem, run just Mobile Data no problem, but once I connect to a WIFI ( have tried several WIFI connections and hotspots) this occurs. Approximately everry 5-10 minutes you can see the data connection momentarily drop then reconnect, giving me 3 notification sounds. Annoying to say the least. Doesn't affect the performance of the device but you can see how annoying that would be. I'm gone through all of the settings I can think of in Dev and in settings and can't figure out why it keeps doing this. I was originally told to try a radio but data is perfect if no WIFI present on the device so I would rather not flash and wipe if I can help it.. I know the simple fix would be to disable mobile data at home but that doesn't cut it I would like it to be on as it normally would be. AS a note I have tried full wipes and several ROMS they all present the same issue.
If anyone understands and can help, and you need a logcat I will gladly provide one.
