Hi,
There's something weird going on with my myTouch. I'll appreciate if someone could explain this.
I have turned off 'Mobile network' but still my mobile network connection seems to come on by itself even when wifi is on.
I've confirmed that its actually turning on by browsing a few webpages. When I look at the setting its 'unchecked'.
I am totally confused. :S

Ali Kazmi

do you see an "h" or a "3G" in your bar?
I see an E because I am in Pakistan and we currently have Edge, don't have 3G yet :$

if you see the "E" that means your mobile data is still turned on. You should be able to go to settings > wireless & network > mobile networks > and turn off the data....
that's the problem my friend, its already unchecked :S and I am not a newbie to android
I have had a G1, then a Hero, then HD2 with Android and now myTouch 4G

well with only 24 post it's hard to say, and your signature didn't say anything about that....
Did you try turning off and on the Airplane mode?
is that known to help with this issue?

Well i'm just asking if you've tried it. I've never had a problem dropping data as soon as i turn it off. But i know AirPlane mode will sever the data connection and voice connection. when you reconnect it should turn on only the voice end of it

what i did was pop in my sim card then the auto configuration loaded up. After that I had to restart the phone then I was good to go.
Thank you... mine doesn't seem to auto load the settings... I wonder what gives?
I actually had to call to give the my imei details then i was up and away.
it detected my settings the att guy said user/pass wasnt used anymore blanked that out but the rest of the settings were fine
you need to go to start/settings/phone/network
click on find network and that should start the auto config
Same here...
Just slid in my Sim card, turn the X1i on..
Pop show up asking to setup for AT&T...
Do you have the "Generic UK" rom??
Stuart
mine also auto configured when i first put my sim card in. i have an x1a. i found out that my internet connection wouldnt work when i powered down my phone. i had to re configure my networks settings again. now i dont power my phone down when i want to turn off my phone. i just use the communication manager to turn off the phone.
any one else notice that... that is if they power down the phone using the button, that after turning back on, the internet isnt working anymore (onboard internet or my bluetooth dun for tethering doesnt work after powering down unless i re auto configure my phone network settings).
No problem with powering my X1i down at all......
Can connect to both wap and isp access points without a problem..

did u get it working?
Yes, I finally got it to work... window mobile is still very new to me... thank you all for your input.
Excuse me if this was covered elsewhere, but I am fairly new (at least not a regular) and this is my first time using WiFi with a cell
I have hooked up my router to my puter
Is it right that the main benefits u would get with your cell would be the minutes don't come from your bucket, if you don't have unlimited, and also you get near cable-like speed on the internet?
Well, the first does not apply, I have unlimited
The second does apply....sort of. When I turn on the wifi the speed of the net iis great. IF I come back to it a short bit later, it seems to freeze there. I can type, but it won't move, I dont that it moves if I switch off wifi, back to hspa+.
I have to turn it off then on. Can anyone please explain this?
Thanks a lot
eric
Please note that T-Mo Wifi Calling does use plan minutes. You should explain the second issue in more detail. Does the phone show the wifi icon in the notification bar when its frozen?
Thanks for the first part
I guess it is different than that calling from Wi-Fi called U? or H?
As for the second part yes no Wi-Fi symbol is still On up top . Everything up here is exactly as it was a few minutes prior when I was able to use the Wi-Fi on the web . Again I am not very good at this I will give you any information you need but please be patient and ask me for anything You need
Thank you

Your wifi app is for calling only. If you want to use the web you connect to any wifi in your wifi settings. With your wifi calling, it does not use the web for anything but calling. Your regular wifi (what we used before they put wifi calling on some phones) is the only thing that connects to the web. Hope I cleared that up for ya!

Please post questions in Q&A section
Thank you whosdaman, and thanks for moving it/them if it was you that did that
it is quite ambiguous as to the difference in the two, not helped when there are other questions in the mytouch general section. ...but thanks nonetheless
while you were moving the thread, did you take time to read it and see if you can help with the , what is a prolly very simple question to you
if you can help, great. If not , np
eric
You're welcome, and yes I did
And no I can't...I have no idea
Thank you
So, when you say you have no idea. It is not typical for it to lock up if you use wifi for internet or is it not common, as in you have not tried the wifi for internet.
Thanks if you have time to answer. I know ur busy moderating the forum

Would it continually be searching for 3g or something? I was reading that you canot actually turn off the data services on the Xoom, so how would it handle not being activated? Anything extra running in the background?

No it won't. Also there is a switch to deactivate the 3g in the wireless settings menu.
I just put mine in airplane mode. It turns the radio completely off.

Same here. My only issue with this setup is that rebooting leaves you with your Wifi off.

Thank you, I understand that option will disable data transmission, but is it going to turn off the 3G radio as well ?, I am looking into the battery saver options. I think my only option will be to turn on "Airplane Mode" and then turn on Wifi, thoughts ?, thanks

With data enabled unchecked you'll still see the Cell Standby using battery power, although not much. If you go to airplane mode then turn wifi on, it does what you want and doesn't use the cell radio as far as I can tell. I installed a widget on my desktop and turn wifi on and off when I need it. Even with wifi on battery life is excellent.
I did notice that daylight savings time didn't update as I had the xoom getting the time from the network which I assume is the cell network.
For the record, there was a Verizon Xoom on ebay yesterday as a one day auction starting at 200 bucks. I threw 550 down on it but it ended at like 780 or something. So yeah, I'm still waiting on the Wifi. I have a staples employee as a friend that's getting me her discount on it so.
Hi, there i updated my n910p to stock 6.0.1 PE1 and noticed that my phone is having exclamation mark on top on network signals when my phone is not connected to mobile internet or wifi , as soon as i connect , the mark is gone... is there a way to remove this mark?? it looks ugly...! my phone is rooted as well..
A screenshot? Not that I know the answer to your problem but it doesn't hurt to actually see that sign.

Try cleaning your SIM card to see if that helps. If it doesn't do a hard factory reset but clear the cache in the hard factory reset before doing it.

Now we are getting somewhere. There is a high probability that your device doesn't support your cell carriers LTE/4G bands. As US Sprint devices are designed to operate on their own LTE/4G bands.

i know it man, my device can not be connected to 4g here in pak already and i m using 3G only but i am talking about exclamation mark even on gsm network when the internet is off...

Exactly. I had the same problem. 4G didn't work for me. I simply sold the phone and bought an N910c.
The exclamation mark will be there if there is no data or wi-fi connection available. I am afraid there is little you can do to remove it. But rest assured this is not a problem with the phone or the software. And Sprint unlocked phones are perfectly usable in 3G mode in the Indian Sub-continent. I have used a Sprint Galaxy Note 3 for more than a year without any problems. So there is nothing wrong with the phone or the update you received. If you still feel the need to remove it you can try a factory reset or try and switch the Network mode to 'Global' (Sprint phones being both CDMA/GSM compatible, should have a 'Global' mode) and see if the signal changes. Also try and keep Data on at all times and see. And from your comments it seems your phone is working fine both over wi-fi and Data Connection. So, don't get unnecessarily worried. Everything's fine.
I have a note 4 from sprint here in jamaica it shows the same exclamation sign but I can't make a call nor text
I have similar issue.

When I connect to wifi with no internet, I get the same "sign in to network" message. It can be recreated over and over. I like using my android device to control other devices over wifi, but this message drives me nuts. Also, my device will not automatically reconnect to wifi with no internet. This is a stupid setup. Can anyone help?

Welcome to XDA @mpot
I'm not sure if this will help but it's worth a try. Open "Developer option" in your phone settings and look for "Networking" and you'll notice additional WiFi settings are available.
https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.re...to_those_having_wifi_issues_on_60_use_legacy/
Oh, as long as your in there, I recommend setting Windows animation scale, Transition animation scale and Animation duration scale to "0" or "Off". You'll notice a faster response when using your device.
Is there any way to get rid of this error coming up after upgrading my S10 plus to android 10?
Try disabling WiFi calling (Settings -> Connections -> Wi-Fi Calling). Reboot, then re-enable.
Will try it
Have done as u suggested @jl10101 and will check if it works
Thanks your tip seems to have worked will check when I disconnect from 1 wifi and connect to another and advice. On witch handset have you encountered this error @jl10101
Yes, stay within the wifi range
The error is back after an soft reset. What else do you suggest? @jl10101

How are the settings? Wi-Fi preferred or Mobile Network Preferred?
Try switching to the latter if not already.

It should be in connections/Wi-Fi/Wi-Fi calling
Under wifi calling there is nothing. @Darkat70
Where else can I have a look? @Darkat70
That's strange, the only thing I can think of is if Wi-Fi calling is turned off it wont show.
The same menu appears in Huawei Phones too, i would have thought it's an Android not OneUI2 setting.
I wonder if you try a search in settings for mobile network preferred?

This article may help, seems it's a common problem. It's for Android Pie, but i should think the same should work for 10.

Does your carrier support Wi-Fi calling, its possible that either Its not enabled on your account or its not yet supported. That's probably why nothing is showing? I could be wrong though.
Try looking in the phone app/3 dots/settings. That's where I find the wi-fi calling option
