Having my Mate 20x for 3 months now and being generally happy with it, I recently encountered an annoying bug.
It seems that whenever I connect to a WiFi, that doesn't have Internet capability currently, the phone uses my mobile data to connect, download or sync. Like as if Wifi+ was enable (which isn't the case).
As I'm a permanent traveler, currently in Africa, connecting to WiFi that temporarily don't work, happens quite often, especially after a blackout or something.
Anyway, my Wifi+ is switched off, I restarted and switched it also a few times, but my mobile data is still being used when WiFi doesn't work properly.
I have the EVR-L29 still on the 9.0.0.208 version. The 9.0.0.300 update has popped, but I'm afraid to download it, due to newly introduced crashed and since I basically don't have any other problem with the phone and awesome battery life. Having had Mate 8 and Mate 10 before, I had a few times, that updating too early made it less than worthwhile and since I'm not rooted and despite using Android since Froyo, I'm meanwhile beyond the flashing and downgrading days of old.
What would you guys recommend to remedy the problem?
Thanks!

I think this is an unfortunate feature if emui on this device. I recently asked the question of why is 4G still showing on my status bar when I'm connected to WiFi. On other devices that I've owned connecting to WiFi would visibly remove the mobile data connection. It would be appear that in your case connecting to WiFi truly doesn't disable mobile data.
How about if you turn WiFi+ off, and try connecting to the dead access point, what happens then? Does it still use mobile data ? I just looked at WiFi + and it states that it connects automatically to mobile data and or WiFi to stay online. So perhaps it's doing as intended?

Yes, my Wifi+ is always off. I never used that feature. But I noticed also as you mentioned, that the mobile data counter is still on, even when connected to WiFi. And when the WiFi status has that 'exlamation mark' meaning it's not connected to the Internet, that counter is still running, thus taking data from mobile data.

On the attached screenshot it shows mobile data field as present with WiFi on with my device. On other devices that field Mobile Data would show "disconnected". I wish I could help further , I'm new to emui.

I don't think there is. It seems an emui feature.
Like I mentioned earlier, other Android devices I've used in the past automatically shut down/ disable mobile data when WiFi is connected. Seems like with this device you don't truly know if you're on mobile data or wifi.?

Interesting tid bit I just came across and thought I'd share with you. So for the first time on this device I ran optimize battery under the battery settings menu.
It suggested I turn off mobile data :silly: very confusing if you ask me.
Seems like Emui has a major status bar flaw in it in this respect. When I turn mobile data off via the pull down quick toggle and also turn WiFi off. It still shows 4G LTE on status bar. I guess this is the issue!
Aida64 app shows that mobile data is disconnected when on WiFi. Still doesn't answer why 4G icon persists when mobile data and wifi is off though.
In Developer Options>~Networking~Mobile data always on~toggle
Tried that?

I just unlocked my T-Mo GS2 and it's working great so far. Only thing I miss from my HTC Desire was that Mobile Data used to automatically switch off whenever I'm connected to wifi networks.
This doesn't seem to be the case here. Data indicator stays on even though I'm connected to my home wifi.
Is there a setting option that I'm missing somewhere?
I notice this as well. Its sporadic though. Data does sometimes drop off but not always.

Yes, yes! I thought it was my router or something. Sometimes the device will try and use mobile data even if I have a very weak cell signal and a very strong wifi signal. It usually works right after connecting to wifi, but after being connect for a long period of time, it seems to try and switch back to mobile data despite my wifi sleep policy being set to 'Never'.

This issue has already been posted somewhere.... I think in the battery thread. The fix was to get the Llama app and set up a profile to switch wifi off when no wifi available, and to switch 4G off when connected via wifi.
Wifi Fixer app in Market seems to be working nicely so far too.

The system is going to turn on your data when it needs to check info or upload/download data that verifies your device or is of a sensitive nature to the system, such as purchase authorizations in the market. When our data connection is popping up while connected to wifi and you're not doing anything (like making a market purchase), there could be undesirable transmission of data going on. Not to say it's definitely malicious in nature, however like I said I do see data transmissions taking place for no apparent reason. Could be some app or widget I use has an auto update that does something to activate it, but as long as the app keeps transmission and activity levels minimal, it's unlikely to pop up on a security app that alerts based on excessive data usage.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
OK, good to know that I'm not alone in this.
It seems that data isn't being used much while connected to wifi. About of 1mb of traffic through all the time that I was connected to wifi. That was a few hours of usage last evening, and then the whole night on idle.
The question is how is this affecting battery life when it just sits there doing nothing.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
Mine has been doing that too, I figured out it was an app making it happen. For me it was the app "beat the traffic" because as soon as I uninstalled it, mobile data went away while on wifi.

Same problem, same cause - except mine was a background thread for "Media Hub", which of course is one of those DRM crazy apps that will not work over WiFi. Ran it to just check it out, but nothing worth seeing there so that won't happen again.
When both were running, it seemed each app choose its own path for connectivity, probably related to how the app was coded. For example streaming from web via Flash used WiFi, but most other apps used 4G.
Edit: Add T-Mobile's "My Account" application as one that causes this to happen.
This seems like a side effect of a tremendous amount of bloatware on this phone. Some of those magenta apps only work on the mobile network. Sometimes you will notice that wifi only will show and then all of a sudden you see both the 4g and wifi on at the same time. Hopefully root will take care of the problem.
If it was programmed correctly it would not allow those background apps to update on the 4g network but it seems the coding leaves it open to start up even when on wifi. This is an assumption but from my tests, it seems that's what's causing it.
same issue here
if you guys believe this is a bug, please report it directly to samsung using the form in stickied in the forum

I reported as a bug prior to discovering its not really a bug. If you go into task manager and open the ram tab and kill all it goes away. I havent had this issue for 3 days now. Its gotta be one of the tmobile apps causing it.

What are you killing when you go to the ram tab?
Anyone else having this issue? I live in an area with good coverage not sure if its the phones radio or not. This isn't an issue with just data either, the entire signal triangle on the nav bar goes blank. This only happens for a few seconds (5-15) at s time, but sometimes happens more often than I'd like.
Was wondering if anyone else has experienced this.

I'm on cm10 euroskank with their kernal, but had had the issue on every rom I've been on, a bit less on this one though. I wasn't really stock for long enough to see if it was an issue, nor did I update any ota's. Was there an ota that fixed radios?
By the way it doesn't seem to be a signal thing, but something with the radio or sim card because it drops from full strength to nothing at all.

Wifi does the same just as the lte radio, guess thats one of the causes of the Cell Radio Standby bug.

I am having a big problem with this (on CM10). Even if the signal meter is full and blue, it's like data isn't flowing when the phone screen is off. I will miss a bunch of notifications until I wake the phone up. Then they come rushing in. I hope this is fixed really soon.
Heres what mine looks like with the blank triangle on cm10. On stock or touchwiz it will be a circle with a line through it like a censor sign. Anyone getting that? Or do i have a bad phone?

This isn't a data drop though, it's the entire mobile network meaning I can't send texts, call, or anything. Has this happened to you?
Not sure if mine is related but I used to get the same thing (network dropping) accompanied by a soft reboot of Touchwiz. This happened on a stock rooted ROM with stock kernel.
Since I've switched to KT747 for Sammy kernel I think the issue has gone away or I just haven't seen it yet. I flashed to KT747 approx 5 days ago.

I have been having the same problems to, no solution yet. I was on stock for a while before I rooted it. I had full 4g before I rooted the phone, then right after I rooted I started having problems the same as described here. I tried several different ROMs, and thinking it was an APN issue I tried several settings there. I haven’t been able to find anything yet, still searching and hoping for a solution.

I decided to flash back to stock before bringing it in to at&t and it has been happening less often. Did any of the OTA's effect signal or radio? I rooted basically right after I got it and flashed the ota killer, so i'm not sure if that had anything to do with it.
I'll keep you updated though.
edit: Spoke to soon, going to get a new phone tomorrow.
I may have figured out the problem, or at least a problem. After I rooted the phone it seems to have erased my IMEI#. The IMEI# now has all zeros. I found the thread on hear on how to fix the IMEI which I’ll do later tonight and see if that fixes my problems.

You think you went over your allotted data limit? If that was so then the symbol would switch to 4G instead of 4Glte, Maybe you are right that you've passed your limit and maybe you should check settings/more networks/mobile networks and ensure that network mode is set to LTE/WCDMA/GSM and check that mobile data is enabled.........and my last guess could be that maybe your sim is loose or failing?

I think it is a bug in the system. I used 2056.47GB according to the My T-Mobile website (tethering non stop), but on the use tab it tells me I used 2048GB of Unlimited. Maybe that stopped my data. I guess on the 17th it will reset and I'll have internet again since calls and messages works correctly. Also, there's no alert on my account and neither a message sent, so my guess is their system just limit the data to 2048GB somehow.
2 terabyte wow. I use net10 on att towers and have massive data connection issues as of the past 2 days and i just put a new monthly on it.

I called them and they said the data was not blocked and that it was not possible to block because it is unlimited, which I think is clearly a system bug or a hard or soft limit of 2048GB
I find it really hard to believe that you managed to use 2TB of data, even if you're tethering. I'm not saying you're lieing, but I think there's something wrong on the backend here that's not reporting appropriately.
There's obviously some kind of issue occuring when you authenticate on the T-Mobile network. My suggestion is either ODIN the phone back to stock and try again, or go into a Store and see if they can tell you anything about your account that's throwing flags at them.
I hope they did block you.

Yeah I think they did that throttling thing because of me
Well, I'm hoping the 17th I get the internet again, of course more carefully. I was just looking at the "how much unlimited data means" limit and I seem to have found it.
If not, the reps said it could be the SIM Card and I have to go to the store then.

How can you even call TMO with a straight face? 2 TB is abusing it, dude.
Can you try a few things?
1) Turn the phone off then back on see how long you have data for.
2) Force the data band of the phone and see how long data works for.
3) Put your SIM into a different device and see how long you have data for.
And of course if you can try all these things on a few different towers just to be sure.
Also can you try cooking an egg on your phone? That thing must be running pretty HOT.

All of that was what the reps said me to do, but data doesn't work.
Here is the bug I suspect, which makes me believe data is turned off at 2048GB:

I have just confirmed myself that this is indeed a system limitation by T-Mobile. Today my cycle reset and I got my data back.
So, in conclusion, T-Mobile unlimited plan indeed have the 2048GB limit.
I hope people aren't complaining about a 2 terabytes limit. I felt like I was abusing when going through 10 gigs a month.

OMG...2TB of mobile data, that's insane!! Even I have The 105Mbps Comcast plan and I can only manage to use 170GB a month(streaming Netflix and downloading torrents everyday)
Hey, Everyone
I'm hoping someone might know why the wifi on my S8+ turns itself on and connects itself when I have all the wifi settings that I know of turned off?
I'm not rooted, the phone is about a month old and again, I have settings for wifi turned off, the smart switch is turned off and yet it still turns itself on and connects to the wifi that is available.
This device is a G955U GS8+ T-Mobile U.S. 64GB Date: 04/29/2017
Always, thanks in advance for any help and your time.

Mine does the same thing when it's close to the router. I've gone into wifi advanced and turned everything off that could trigger it also turned smart switch off. When I have the phone away from the router it doesn't happen, just wondering if there's a proximity setting somewhere I haven't found yet.

That is something to consider, since we can't find anything in the standard settings. I'm staying in a motel and the router is relatively close in proximity, 50-60 feet, in a building next door. I've never known or heard of wifi being tied into a proximity sensor. I don't know what the advantage or necessity could possibly be. But, I'm not a phone engineer.

I'll look through some more setting and if I find anything I will post back here.
This was happening on my s7 edge and found found the xfinity app was the culprit.

No, this is simply do you want your device to scan for wifi networks. This is a standard option.
Thanks for trying. I can't find anything in settings, not in the Developer settings either.
It's bizarre because, as I mentioned, it auto connects when I'm at the motel.
I just checked in and I didn't use my phone for anything for about half an hour or more. I pick it up to use it and as I'm typing a text message I notice the wifi icon in the notification bar. So, it turned itself on when I got here. I went through all the settings and found nothing turned on or that is running in the background.
So, strange.

Do you have any apps that auto-connect such as tasker or something else that runs tasks based on time or location? Another thing is to check location-based apps that don't have turn on WiFi automatically when they need it to turn on.
Check out this article, which talks about how to check app permissions. I have my WiFi set to turn on when it comes close to my apartment and turn off the sound when I leave a geographic radius of my apartment. Even if my WiFi is off if my GPS locates that I'm within my apartment's radius, it turns on based on rules I set using MacroDroid.
It may just be an app that has the permission to turn on WiFi when it needs to connect or do SOMETHING with your phone.
PS, I'm making no promises, I'm just thinking Occam's Razor.
I just updated my phone to EMUI 10 stable. I am having all kinds of connectivity issues. The biggest one is using mobile data. If I am on WiFi and then switch to mobile data only. I no longer have internet connectivity. I have to put the phone in airplane mode and then switch out of airplane mode. Everything seems to work at that point. Anyone else having issues with mobile data. WiFi I don't have any issues with internet connectivity or apps getting data.

I did try doing a network reset. I will try that again. I was trying to avoid doing a factory reset.

It's always best doing a factory reset when a major firmware update has occurred. In this case emui 9 to 10. Good luck.

I will give that a try and let everyone know if that corrects the issue.

I did the factory reset and that did not fix the issue. As soon as I switch from wifi to mobile data anything that requires internet access no longer works. If I turn off mobile data and then switch it back on the data works. I will keep searching for an answer.

If it's any consolation since emui 10 I get blank spaces in my cell signal. Was never like that on 9.1 even when I rolled back once .

I chatted with Huawei support in the Hicare app. They suggested that I downgrade back to emui 9. Not the answer I wanted.

Did they mention how to roll back to emui 9.1? I wanna do that. I'm having the same issues now.
Till a patch gets to us. I put the mobile data icon and wifi icon on the pull down screen. A toggle off then back on brings mobile data back on. Don't like the notification on how much data I have used while screen is off. How do you stop that notification.

You will need to download the Hisuite app and connect your phone. Once you connect your phone. Click on update. It will tell you that your phone is on the latest update. There is an option to select the previous update. Which is version 9. Here is the link. https://consumer.huawei.com/en/support/hisuite/
I just did this and all is working now. Be patient when it is download emui 9 in the app. It took me about 10 or more minutes. Also make sure the screen on the phone stays on while it is downloading Emui 9 or you will have to reconnect. Good luck!
Im always exclusively on 4G LTE and not WiFi , hoping those blanks in my mobile connection is superfluous since I haven't had any connection issues or noticed any so far.

Did your mobile data connectivity chart show blanks also ?
Sent from my EVR-L29 using Tapatalk
I didn't check my data mobile chart before restoring my phone back to EMUI 9. All I know is using mobile data was terrible. It would stop working after sometime. I would have to put the phone in airplane mode and then take it out of airplane mode. I will just wait on EMUI 10 after a few updates.

Rolled back to 9.1.0.348 yesterday. Smooth as silk and wonderful battery life again, not that battery life was bad on 10, just better on 9.1for me.

Hopefully Huawei will push an update in the next week or so to clear all the issues up with 10. I will certainly be a little more careful with updating my phone with the next 10 release. The good thing is I have two Mate 20X phones. I install the update on my backup phone before installing 10 on my daily driver.
