Hey,
After update to Gingerbread (no root, stock HTC) both of icons remain in the statusbar: WiFi and data. And data shows traffic (white arrows). Haven't had this before so: is this normal?

Sorry dude. Never met anyone on stock....

Mine occasionally would do this on 1.72 but hasn't happened (yet) on 2.3.
A restart or turning mobile data off and on normally sorted it though. Never figured out why but it would usually happen when coming into range of a remembered WiFi link and mobile data simply wouldn't go away. Either that or when an MMS was involved whilst on WiFi, that invokes mobile data whilst WiFi is connected, if the APN's are set up right.
Hey there.
I have an Inspire, so I realize there are some differences between that and DHD, other than the fact that I was on stock Froyo before moving to Inspired Ace, but I am quite familiar with this behavior. The mobile data connection will show traffic when connected to WiFi when using Market or other apps that require location or cell data info, AFAIK. I spent several days trying to track this problem down then learned that the connection disables if you force stop Market. There are some other apps that cause this connection, but they were all user-installed.
Hope that helps!

Ever since the new leak of 2.3.3, the Wi-Fi connection randomly drops.
But I discovered it was because of Mobile Network on. If I turn Mobile Network off, the Wi-Fi connection is immensely stable. Is there a work around this? I would love my Mobile Network & Wi-Fi to be working at the same time.
I'm having the same problems. Thank OP.
Not only do I get this but my gps doesnt even come close to working like it won't even show that its on in the notification bar. Any one know a fix?

I'm at home on wifi and have turned off mobile networks yet the damn H/3G icon stays on next to my wifi icon. I've noticed this before where they are running simultaneously even though mobile networks are turned off but I never worried about it until I switched to a 2 gb data plan. I have been heavy on tethering early on in this months billing cycle so I don't want any extra data used when I can help it. I am sure its not using much data but it pisses me off when **** doesn't work right. Is there a running service that might be turning on my data even though I manually turned it off? If so, why can't running services rely on wifi rather than mobile data? I've done all the normal things such as restarts, etc. yet it keeps happening...Any ideas?
Backup your data using mybackup pro or something and factory reset is all I can think of! I experienced this problem too and I had to reset it to stop. T-Mobile couldn't help me at all.
download juice defender from the market in the settings there's a option to cut off other networks activity when on wifi

On other forums, people have suggested setting up a smart action to automatically turn off mobile data when connected to a wifi connection. However, my Razr M does not appear to give me that option.
I am able to set an action to turn on wifi, and to turn off mobile data when I am at home (using my home location as the trigger and turning wifi on, and turning mobile data off as an action).
However, when I try to set wifi network as a trigger, the "set mobile data" action is greyed out, and I am unable to select it. This is on version 4.2.2.3.0.
Am I missing something here, or is what I am trying to do not possible?
Is there a reason you need to? Android *should* shut data off for any apps that don't specifically request mobile data (VZW's suite comes to mind...)

Two reasons: 1) I am on a shared data plan via work, so I want to be mindful of my data use, and 2) it it my understanding that connecting to wifi uses less battery than being constantly connected to 4g.

When Wifi is available and your phone is connected, automatically 4g is off and wifi is used... I don't see the point of using smart actions for this.

Thanks, I did not realize this.
The reason I ask is because I saw a number of sites that discussed turning mobile data off when connected to wifi. See here and here
I just recently got a Nexus 4 from Google. Running 4.2.2 stock, all well and good.
There is one feature however which I really dislike and which has potential security and privacy issues to be considered: unless I shut down wifi entirely, my phone will automatically connect to ANY AND ALL open wifi networks it finds, using those in preference to cellular data to try to get on the internet. This is.. entirely suboptimal but I have not found a way to stop it. I disabled 'auto notification of open wifi networks' which did what it said, it doesn't NOTIFY me any more, it just silently connects.
Is there a way to prevent such behaviour without having to turn wifi off all the time?
Thanks!

Forget all remembered networks, and manage how much your Wi-Fi is on. It's a quick tile.
In all my years of owning an android it has NEVER connected to a router I didn't want it to do it's user created

Thank you. I have owned several Android phones, this is the first one that behaves like this. The only thing I'm unclear on is 'manage how much your wifi is on'?
Hey everyone. I just bought a used Sprint LG G2 and like the phone overall. I am having a few issues, the most annoying one it seems is that when my phone is on my home wifi it is always downloading/uploading. The arrows are active 99% of the time and the only way I can stop it from transmitting data is to disable wifi and it won't do it over the cellular data network. I have turned off automatic syncing and everything I could think of that would transmit data over wifi on my phone. I tried restoring the firmware back to shipping firmware using flashtools and taking all the OTA updates again, I have tried simply factory resetting it as well and then not downloading any apps or logging into anything and it still seems to persist. This is only on my home internet and I have tried 2 different routers now. I go to a large university with a campus wide wifi network and it doesn't do this when I'm on my school wifi. It also doesn't happen when on a friend of mines home wifi network with a newer Linksys router. I cannot figure out why my home wifi data connection is constantly active. I haven't had this issue with any other phone so it is something to do with the interaction of my phone with network or something.
Wow no one has this issue? That must explain why there isn't a ton of results when I google it.
If you download an app called GSAM Battery Monitor, you should be able to see which app is hogging the wifi.
I have gsam and wasn't aware of this feature. I was using another app that said the system was constantly downloading and uploading about 5kb of data at all times. It has to be something network side since its only on my home wifi but I'm not good with wireless networking if it's not a cell network so I don't even know where to start. I tried restoring both of my routers to stock and it didn't fix it.
