Mine does this too. Probably just a glitch.

I sure hope so, I messaged the online help via text message from the T-Mobile app, and they said it's normal, but I don't think they understood what I meant..

If you mean when WiFi is on your seeing the wifi bars and mobile bars at same time that is normal. Your only using your mobile data if you are seeing 5G or LTE showing next to the mobile bars.

I'm seeing the wifi icon AND the 5g icon then the mobile bars, is that normal?

No in that case that wouldn't be normal. Only thing I can suggest is when your on WiFi turn off Mobile Data. I do that all time. No sense having both on when you only using one. You will still get texts and phone calls. You just won't get pics or videos through text until you turn mobile data on again.
So try that and see what happens when you turn mobile data off.

So I spoke to t-mobile again, they said if im connected to now wifi it'll use wifi first, but it my wifi drops it just shows what connectivity I'll be using? Idk

Mine used to do the same I had to uninstall visual voicemail. Not that it had any negative effect, I just didn't like both icons been displayed at once. I'm on Mint Mobile with an unlocked S20.
Usually when that happens is when you use an app that only uses data. Just like my Three app in the UK, doesn't use WiFi and you only can use it with data.
If you opened any sort of Tmobile app, force close it and put your phone into flight mode then turn flight mode off, or restart your phone.
It sometimes glitches out and doesn't go away, its really annoying.
This setting in developer options will cause this. Turn it off and your LTE/5G icon will go away when disconnected from wifi.

Yes,I noticed it with mine too..but i think it will still use Wi-fi network when you browse(i tested it with speedtest app,it used Wi-fi)
It seemed to keep saying couldnt connect wifi using mobile data on Att messaging app, it didnt seem to be using the data connection for anything else and was only sending/receiving on wifi

I noticed mine seeming to drop from wifi when the screen is off for a while, even though I have it set to leave wifi always on.
When I would turn the screen on, it would show LTE, then LTE and wifi, then just wifi and give me the message that it connected to wifi. I also noticed the icon for the preloaded AT&T Smart Wi-fi. My assumption is that this app is causing me to drop from wifi when it shouldn't be.
I disabled AT&T Smart Wi-Fi and haven't had the problem so far today.
Jrockttu, thanks for your suggestion, it was driving me nuts. I've just picked up my Note II yesterday and UNFORTUNATELY I enabled the AT&T Smart WiFi app (and then forgot about it, of course). After that I couldn't stay connected to WiFi, the WiFi radio kept cycling on and off, it was maddening. Luckily I found this post, and after disabling the stupid app, now I can stay connected to WiFi.
I been having this issue since I loaded up wicked rom on my phone. Works for 5 minutes only then loose connection, the only way seem to get connected again is through making a phone call to any... I just call my voicemail to get connected again so I don't have to annoy people! Help!!!

The current modem seems to *really* want to be on LTE. If you don't care about LTE you can disable it...settings - connections tab - more networks - mobile networks - change "Network Mode" to GSM/WCDMA. You'll still get HSPA+ speeds, but it should stay connected better.

Thanks man, it's just weird that the only way to get back connected is to make a phone call... I was at the time bike store yesterday and they mentioned something about updating the towers to LTE and should be over end of this summer... They said they are already ahead of sprint as in service at the moment and they are trying to be on the same page as AT&T and Verizon. I messed with the option by the way many times but didn't notice the difference yet but I will update the result on a following reply in the future. Thanks again

I just updated my phone to 5.0.1 and now there the data won't turn off on WiFi. It still does turn off when toggled, but then MMS can't be received. How should I fix this?

It's always done that the 4g is still connected to do things like SMS.

but it shouldn't always be lit up like that. it should grey out after awhile.
Unfortunately you have to turn off mobile data. Just called Verizon about this.
It use to be greyed out, but now it's white as if it's on. Could be an oversight when they created the update. When I'm connected to wifi, it is rarely active.
Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk
I believe it stays active for the advanced calling option. Even if you don't enroll in the option it keeps the 4G active by default to "watch" for calls. Just a way for the vzw devs to be lazy by leaving it "active" all the time instead of being triggered by opting in to the advanced option
Note 4Tified
I am connected to WiFi but my 4G lte stays on in notification bar. Anyway to resolve this?

Ok read all the everything from the above link. No real answer to what is causing it.

We provided some answers on what to turn off and what makes it show up. There may be no way to fully keep it off as I have concluded that it may or may not be the phones radio doing updates in intervals. I rarely see it pop up now after that discussion.
Turn off smart network switching in WiFi options.

That does nothing. It is still going to come on randomly. If you have location on it will show up. I've also noticed it blinks on and off when using Hangouts to send a text. This is all happening with WiFi on.

Of course it blinks on and off because txts don't go through WiFi. Txts and calls and GPS information(I think) go through the provider network, which is why it shows up when you text/calls/gps. For the times it doesn't need the provider network, only WiFi icon will shop up.

Uh... I already know that but provide the info in case someone doesn't know that. There are people that assume everything goes through WiFi with 4G off. So by me saying that it blinks on and off is an indication to them that 4G is being used because it's a text.
We are basically providing info letting others know why 4G comes on if they have WiFi on already.
Like the OP stated in the post title, the 4g icon stays on, and not just comes off & on. In my case, it'll stay on for about 20+ minutes, and this is with the smart connect unchecked and while doing abosolutely nothing. No reading, no texting or email, GPS turned off.
Ive tried all the suggested answers, and the only solution that works for me is to turn off the network.

Correct. Mine has been for the last couple of hours doing nothing. Only thing that would fix it is a reboot.

Hi, I had the same problem which was driving me nuts and kept draining my battery. I eventually found a solution here http://getgeek.net/samsung-galaxy-s5-data-and-wifi-on-at-the-same-time/
Hi Everyone,
I recently updated my phone and everything seems to be working fine, but I noticed after updating, that when connected to my Wi-Fi, the mobile network stays on, it does disappear. Before the update, if I was connected to Wi-Fi, the 4g LTE indicator would disappear, but now it stays on. Even when I turn off the network, it still stays active.
Does anyone know why this is happening and how to fix it?

I had that icon using Viper. Switch to airplane mode and it goes away. Get LTE discovery app from playstore. It will show mobile disconnected when on Wi-Fi. Look under network info
Edit: just noticed you also asked in Viper thread as well and got your answer (it's just an icon issue). Lol XDA users.
You guys are funny.
Check Developer Options. There is an option to keep data on at all times to make switching between data/wifi faster and that's what's happening to you.
It's either preset by a MOD in Viper ROM or you somehow toggled it on accidentally. Easy fix.

Actually, you are funny cuz I already checked that toggle and made sure it was off haha. It was actually an icon bug in the Viper ROM I am using. I switched the signal icons from ATT to T-Mobile and the data icon vanished when connected to WiFi.
