Data roaming: lost connectivity - Galaxy S I9000 General

Hi,
I'm keep getting this data roaming message over and over again in the notification area. I don't have a data plan. I use only wifi. Iam not sure if this has also something to do with my battery drain issue. Is there maybe a way to disable the message coming up or to find out which app is causing maybe the message coming?
I'm running on darky 9.3 and speedmod k19c.

If you dont have a data plan press the power button and disable the data network, for two reasons: apps would not try to connect and your carrier wouldnt charge you per kilobyte.

That is the funny thing. It is disabled and the notification still comes up. Its very annoying even when it is disabled that the data roaming message pops up in the notification area. Is it maybe a bug in darkys 9.3 version?

Probably .

Go in to settings/wireless and networks/mobile networks and make sure data roaming is turned off - not ticked.
Other than that, not sure.

I've had the same since day 1, mostly after unplugging from my pc. I don't use data network or 3G, and it's not ROM/theme dependant.
Never found a solution, so I stopped caring about it...

Like i said. Its disabled. Its very annoying.

I have a similar warning regularly, very annoying. I have a data plan but I do not tick the data roaming.
This problem did not occur before. It only happens after updating to 2.2.1. I did not root and lagfix. Anyone can help?

Wish I could help... As said, it doesn't matter if I'm on a custom ROM or stock (started on 2.1).
I disconnect from my pc always via "safely eject media", internal SD first, then external, then turn off USB connection on the phone, but it makes no difference.
I had stopped caring, but this thread has made me start again. A curse on you all!
There seems to be no reason to blame Kies, but since it's a crock, I will. Don't see why its absence from my pc should absolve it. I n fact, it wouldn't surprise me if Kies was responsible for the unrest in the middle East. And LUFC's defensive woes.
MOT.

Lol .
I think whatever is causing this problem is also the reason for.the battery drain. Somehow whenever the wifi is active the battery usage inrcreases up to 5-7 times. Playing a.game does not use that much battery.
i noticed another bug in 9.3. If u get into the task manager and u press the back button u should be back at your home screen and the task manager should close. However everytime i press the back button when iam in the task manager it starts randomly a.application, if i press again the back button another app is staring up and so on.

WI-FI problems

hey, I've had my x10 for a few days, very good phone just a few issues that are kinda annoying.
I'm running the 020 firmware still, and everytime I turn on my phone and click browser, the wi-fi isn't working so it says cannot connect to page.
After a 10 seconds the wi-fi starts working, can someone explain why this is happening? The only app that I think would interfere with this would be advanced task killer, so could that be the problem?
Anyone else with this problem plx help.
Does it by any chance reflect your phones coverage.. I remember some people saying how their wifi wouldn't work as soon as phone coverage went down?

I had the same on 020. I updated to 026, now wifi kicks in fairly quickly when the phone comes out of sleep.
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
Is probably because of wifi sleep policy.
Is set to turn off when screen is closed and connecting back to the hotspot takes a few seconds.
If you charge your phone daily you can change the wifi policy to always on

[Q] media transfer mode/usb icon in notification bar

hello
I keep my arc in media transfer mode over USB.
One thing I notice is that the USB icon in notification area stays even after i disconnect the phone.
Is that normal/expected?
No it shouldnt stay on whatsoever so how do ya get rid of it then or cant u get it off even if u reboot it sounds weird why dont u change it to memory card and see if it goes off after that
Sent from my LT15i using XDA Premium App
rebooted and it appears to be going away when i disconnect.
maybe something got messed up when i ran advanced task killer.
i have stopped using atk and now use fast reboot instead.
It happens to me time to time, it is just a USb icon stays and goes away with reboot.
Yea I would advise not to use atk I had a few problems and most people on here would agree but its every1 to there own really. Let us know if the problem disappears after not using atk

Make sure these 2 are ignored in ATK,
com.sonyericsson.capabilities --- handles hardware properties and connections
com.sonyericsson.devicemonitor --- handles plug and play detection
I don't discourage task killers,in fact i use ATK too, but it's better to be careful.
Also always disconnect through the phone, not eject from the pc.

I could find:
com.sonyericsson.devicemonitor
But I could not find:
com.sonyericsson.capabilities
I am using atk free with low level process display.
It happens to me all the time too. I don't use any task killers. Once you disconnect it and it still shows up, if you pull down the notification bar and select the "change connectivity mode" entry, it will realize its not connected any longer and will disappear. No need to reboot.
Cheers.
I have the same problem.

Yes, absolutely right It's not a big problem.
I have the same problem. F*cking bug in this rom, i hope the next rom fixed this stupid bug.
Alternatively, you could just push disconnect on the phone before unplugging it.

Trouble with Juice Defender and Cyanogenmod

Ever since I got Cyanogenmod 7 working on my phone, I've had a lot of trouble getting my 3g to toggle back on after turning my screen on. I'm using JD for the toggle so is it a Juice Defender problem or a modem problem?
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
I have the same problem, I just switch to airplane mode and back and it fixes it. It only happens periodically, it works as it should more often then not. I attribute it to CM7 awesomeness. At least JD works, Green Power won't even try to manage the data connection.
Ah I wouldn't have thought to try that. Yeah I love this rom compared to stock so I'm more than willing to put up with a few gripes.

I have this same problem and run JD but it's not a JD problem. I would say it happens to me once or twice a day(usually when the phone is powered on for more than 6 hours without a reboot). A lot of people have this and toggling back and forth between airplane mode fixed the problem pretty damn easily.
If you want a quick way to do this go to
settings
cyanogenmod settings
interface
notification power widget
widget buttons
select airplane mode
Now you have airplane mode in your pull down bar and you can quickly enable it and disable it when this happens.
I have two problems relating to this. My 3g wont turn on automatically when someone sends me an MMS. Usually my stock ROM would turn the 3g on and download the MMS, but now I just receive a text message from a number rather than the name of the contact, and I need to press a Download button to download the picture/MMS. Then I have to turn on my 3G manually, then I have to press the Download button, and only then do I receive the picture/MMS.
Also, It has been happening quite often now. My 3G does not turn on, even when I turn it on manually so I have to reboot my phone an only then will it turn on.
Im using CM7 nightly, latest one up to date on HTC Desire HD.
Hope someone fixes this!

Mobile data connection doesn't work after using WiFi. Only after reboot

Hey guys,
I am using ICS Evervolv a5 on my N1. The mobile data connection works only if I don't connect to a WiFi network. If I do, the only way I have found to make it work again is to reboot the phone.
This means that while I am at home, everything works through WiFi, however, if I leave home, I have to reboot my phone once I am sure the phone is far enough from my WiFi access point to be able to connect. Then, it starts working with the cellular data plan
The only thing I can relate to this is that I have the "application protection" app installed, protecting the settings menu do with a code so my kids don't mess up with that. However, is still hard to believe that's the culprit.
Thoughts?

I too had this problem when i updated from 4.0 to 4.1U2. I tried couple of things like clearing cache/dalvik cache etc. nothing worked.
Later i used 4EXT Recovery to format all except fat32. After this i did clean install and things are working fine
Do you just have gray bars or is the connection icon showing an x?
I had the problem that I could not connect and I had to clear the data of the Google framework to get it going again.
But that might have been another problem.
Sent from my Nexus One
Try turning airplane mode on and then off, so you don't have to reboot the phone. It works for me.

I am getting the gray bars. It seems that is working these past couple of days. I will try clearing the data from the Google framework the next time it happens..

I noticed that I was getting grey bars over the last few days too, but using CM7. However it corrected itself yesterday. Perhaps it's something external causing it?
Sent from my Nexus One using xda app-developers app
Just a quick note, i guess most people on xda know this but if not, you could try to use an app called catlog or other similar apps.
You can find out if programs are behaving badly by using it and by Googling errors you often find the solution faster.

after switching from wifi if the data doesnt work.
just put ur phone on airplan mode for few seconds and back to normal network mode
it will start the data activity ...
i had the same issue but now i can use it after airplan mode

[Q] MF9 AFTER update glitch

Brand new Galaxy S4 from Sprint. No root, all stock.
Prior to the update I went through Settings -> Connections -> Data Usage... and did "Restrict background data" for quite a few of the main apps that were using up a lot of data in the background. The two main ones were "Google Play Store" and "Google Services". NOW. This is ONLY background data. So it should have nothing to do with the app or system when running in the foreground. And at this point I had the phone for almost a week with things those settings and absolutely zero issues.
THEN System Update MF9 happened. Suddenly the minute I'm on Mobile Data only and not on WiFi, the phone freezes, restarts, and after a couple seconds to a minute of being on, it freezes again and restarts. Infinitely. If I'm on WiFi, it doesn't happen. If both WiFi and Mobile Data are off, it doesn't happen.
Stumped the first Samsung guy at Best Buy. Second guy was able to force a reinstall of the update through Odin. But it still did it. Exchanged the phone again, made sure the update went through at the store. Everything seemed ok. THEN when I tried to Restrict background data for the Google Play Store, happened again. But this time it was when I long pressed the home key in order to see the apps running in the background.
Can someone please explain to me what the heck google play store has to do with the entire system freezing and restarting? Because I just can't see the connection between the two. Not to mention it wasn't an issue prior to the MF9 update. Plus it bugs me that I can't restrict the data. I was on unlimited, but now I'm a part of my sisters family plan and don't want to be the one blamed for using up all the data.
Any suggestions as to what I can do to fix this? I want to be able to freely restrict the things I want to like prior to the update. Worst case scenario I'll have to revert it and just ignore the update until a new one comes out Halp!
Not sure what's happening but if your still with Sprint which I assume you are you still get unlimited data even on a family plan. Doesn't fix your issue but should give you peace of mind about using to much data.

My sister lied to me. I found out today. But still. It's weird that I can't restrict background data either way.
and only since this last update. Everything was fine before it. Plus I'm concerned because if it makes that glitchy then what else can tweak out at any moment?
This always happens. I should be a beta tester. I always find the most awkward random glitches. Like that time i got stick on a tree in WOW...
Having this exact issue........ if mobile data is not switched off it will just boot loop.

Try and clear your cache for both apps in the Application Manager in settings.

I guess you can restore the phone through Odin, if you want too.

Tried that also..... the same. Do you have 'Background Restrict' on? I'm using GSM data instead of LTE.

I'm on MDL, on CyanogenMod. MF9 has too many problems from what I've heard.
Hit the "Thanks" button if I helped!
Well I guess this is one of those problems. Lol

Personally, I would advise you to downgrade to MDL. But it's your choice.
I'm not too familiar with MF9 that much.

I have the same problem with my stock, factory-reset Sprint/Ting Galaxy S4 (pre-loaded MF9 build): If I turn on "Restrict background data" ('Rbd') on any or all of the processes listed under Settings-->Data usage, the phone will reboot more or less immediately, as soon as 4G becomes the only data source.
In other words, I can check 'Rbd' on any (or all) listed processes, and the phone will run just fine with either 1) WiFi & 4G, 2) WiFi only, or 3) WiFi/4G both off. I just can't run (for long) with 4G alone, unless none of the processes have 'Rbd' checked.
So to limit my data usage with the Sprint JD...MS9 build for the GS4, the only workaround I've found is to manually turn off "Mobile data" via the main pulldown menu, and turn it back on only when I need data, and WiFi isn't available. I've given up trying to use the broken "Restrict background data" feature.

Yeah......I never got a fix for this........I do the same, I switch on mobile data when I need to check my messages. Just waiting on an update and hope it gets fixed. The other alternative is to downgrade to MDL but the battery life will be not so great.
