I have a Pixel 2 XL, not rooted. I recently switched carrier and when I pass a long time without using mobile data (an hour or so connected to a WiFi network) and want to switch to mobile data a notification "Sign in to network Movistar" appears and there's an "x" below LTE sign. If i click the notification it opens a blank page for a second and then closes. The x disappears from the LTE sign but I can't reach any page. It works only after turning off and on my mobile data and stay connected until I pass a long time without using my mobile data.
I've already checket de APN settings but everything is as the carrier advice. With my previous carrier's SIM there's no problem.
I made the test with Movistar's SIM in two phones:
- OnePlus X (Resurrection Remix Marshmallow): almost same error. Shows the sign in notification and x below LTE sign but they disappear quickly without any action and mobile data works.
- Huawei P9: no error at all.
Any idea what could be happening here?

As I mentioned in my earlier thread I recently bought a Motorola Defy. Like many other users that I read about before purchasing my first android smartphone I was not able to open Google Market app after a factory reset.
My hint is based on my own experience and I hope it serves someone else well with similar issue.
As I write this message I have no data plan on my contract and I intend to use wireless connection for emailing, internet browsing, and the Market app. Once I completed the initial setup I put my handset's network mode to 2G only. I was worried to be charged for accessing data on 3G.
I had no problem using the Market app initially over the wireless connection until I did a refactory reset to re-setup my handset properly second time round. It was then the Market app stopped working and not even a master reset resolves the problem and then I was considering to root the handset to remove certain folders as a solution to the problem.
Everytime I laucnhed the Market app it stuck at Terms and Services page. It then occurred to me to change the network mode to Automatic and switch off the wireless connection to see what would happen. Next time I laucnhed the Market app it took me straight to the market's home page. It took me two days to figure this out : (
Once I was in the market I switched the network mode back to 2G only and turned on the wireless again. Everything is working just fine now. For the porpose of this thread I powered off the handset and turned it on again to see if my last settings i.e. 2G only still launches the Market app successfully or not. I can confirm that the Market app works just fine over the wireless connection just fine with 2G only network mode.
BTW, the batter life of this handset is so impressive. I used it one and half day very extensively (over 20 times of restarting the handset alone) and I was very surprised lasted that long. On moderate use and proper battery management (no widgets, no 24 wireless connection), and putting it on air plane mode at nights I would get over 2.5 days before charging is required.
I can't wait for Android 2.2 release to make this handset even more productive for me : )

I think you may have a misconception of 2G versus 3G. They are different technologies. When your phone is in 2G mode, it uses one type of network for both voice and data. In 3G mode it uses another type which provides better voice quality and faster data speeds.
Either way your phone will still try to access data unless you turn off mobile data. If it's in 2G mode and you see the little "E" icon up in the notification area, it's still accessing mobile data - just at a slower rate.

Thank you for your inputs. I'm very new in the world of smartphones but learning fast.
I searched around to find out how to disable Mobile data and chosen this method *#*#4636#*#* and changed my network type to GSM for best coverage and battery life now. I can confirm the Masrket app still works with wireless connection.
Changing to GSM only does not disable mobile data.

I disabled the Mobile Data option by pressing the Settings button then More>Disable Mobile Data. It was then I noticed the options for changing my network type beyond just 2G and 3G.

Did that work then? You no longer connect with mobile date, I'm asking because I have now ordered my Defy but like you don't have a network plan so need a workaround.

Right ok, thanks for clarifying
In Froyo there is a mobile data toggle in the regular menus, and on all Sense phones too. Is there one on Blur phones? I guess not.
Another way to block data is to go to your APN list and fudge the entry (e.g. change epc.tmobile.com to epc.tmobile.com.nodata).

The only way I can assure you I have successfully disabled Mobile Data by looking at the reception icon in notification bar that no longer displays G, H, E, and 3G at anytime.
**Solved**: it could not retain, for some reason, my APN settings. I reset it to factory defaults and it worked...
Hello everyone! A couple of weeks ago I got my DHD (Software version is 1.75, stupid OTA...). My data plan will start this Saturday, so I hadn't really looked into it, but I can't, for the life of it, make it connect to 3G...
It is, perhaps, important to say that it's a T-mobile branded phone (the T-mobile logo appears upon boot-up) from Germany, but obviously it's SIM-free.
Mobile Network Type is listed as HSDPA, but I never see a 3G or H icon, with WiFi on or Off.
If I turn Mobile Network on it gets stuck at "connecting to network", but if I reboot it says it's connected - but still no icons or incoming data.
Any ideas? Could it be that it's from T-mobile? I'm on Wind, btw.
Thanks!

Recently my phone (HTC One X on 3 network) loses its mobile data connection. This happens very frequently, infact its off as much as its on.
When the connection drops out, in settings under mobile data it says.. "disconnected because radio was turned off" it still appears I have an H and bars on my signal however if I reboot the message changes to "disconnected because service is unavailable" and then there are no bars and an x. Mobile data will connect after a while but then drops out soon after with the same messages. Airplane mode is not on.
I have tried unchecking fast reboot, taking out the sim for over 15 minutes, factory reset, clearing data on google services, I rang 3 and they were as useless as always. She said she refreshed my services and made me confirm the apn was correct.
I have tried every solution I can find on google.
Any ideas please?
ffs this phone is such a pos. Guess its back to the shop to send it off yet again. First and last HTC I'll ever have.
I was connected to my mother's WiFi at her place and she has terribly slow Internet so I forgot her network to just stay in mobile data. 10 minutes later I got the authentication message for her WiFi, and 5 minutes later I was connected again. Checked my WiFi list and it shows it as an available network, but not connected. I have tried connecting with the wrong password, forgetting a couple more times, no matter what I do it still connects to her damn WiFi. What can I do (other than turn my WiFi off, obviously) to block this network?

That's strange. Never hear of that issue before. Have you tried to use an app like WiFi Ruler to block it manualy? Just set the "closed" rule on the network and save.
Did you ever find a solution to this? I have almost an identical problem. In my case the wifi keeps trying to connect to the network in my old job.... even though I'm sitting in my apartment with my own wifi network. I have to manually connect to my wifi, but then 5 minutes later the phone will complain that there's no Internet connection. When I check the wifi settings it's once again trying to connect to my work wifi
My HTC M8 was normally able to successfully *forget* wifi networks until the recent upgrade to OS 6.2 (which broke so many things I've lost count). NOW, although I still have the "forget" option by long press, the network just keeps coming back and it blocks me from connecting to the valid one instead.
Hi, its my first post on the Z1C forum.
I just got one yesterday to replace my Nexus 5 and am accounting a few things I need help with since I am new to the xperia line of phones.
So my phone looks like this (for data) however I can't browse anything. I have mobile data enabled, national roaming and preferred network being 4G but nothing is working. With my Nexus 5 my data just worked so I am unsure why this is happening here. I can send texts and make calls just fine. Phone is on lolipop 5.0.2
The wifi signal in my room is terrible and its constantly dropping and when that happens I can't do anything with it.
I am on tesco mobile with a 2GB 4G plan.

Edit: So I looked around I went into mobile network and scanned, found tesco and registered. So I have 3G data now, but 4G isn't registering. Maybe I need to phone up Tesco and ask them.
Or maybe it's just not a 4G mast where you're connecting?
Is problem "no mobile data at all" or "no LTE connection" ?
Can you transfer data on 3G?
If so - check twice if your SIM card is LTE compatible.
I had to adjust the APN on my phone when I first got it as the one it autodetected wasnt correct. Try that out.
Hi so i just got a z1c and this happened to me. I could send and get text/calls even get notifications and updates. I called sony and t-mobile, nether could help me. Then i found a option under "more" in settings to update "Internet settings" find your server and hit ok. Try it out, i hope this helps.
In my case I needed to contact my carrier to enable 4G. Tried it?
Not sent by me.
settings.>>other>>>internet settings>>>download internet and mms settings...
this should do the trick...
Inconsistent Connection
I got my Z1C a few days ago and updated it to Lollipop yesterday. Ever since the update, the phone has been dropping data connection. I don't know what's the initial cause yet but as it stands, in order to get it working again I have to take out the SIM and reinsert it multiple times. I'm watching it carefully tho because it seems to happen whenever I start Candy Crush. Is there anybody else having this experience?
