Hi!
My problem is: I just get a Motorola Flipout, and my first setting was to disable the mobile data. On the top of the home screen (what you can pull down), there are two red arrow. Arrow up/arrow down Mobile data disabled.
How can i hid this message without turn the mobile data on?
Is there a setting what can i turn on, that only wifi sync?
Sorry for my english
Just use an app such as 3G Watchdog (I know that this app is working on the flipout) or just look for another app on the googe play.
this doesnt appear on my flipout
my data is always set off
you can use the widget to turn off
PROBLEM SOLVED!
I downloaded APNdroid.
I let the APN on in the settings, but turn off in the APNdroid, and voila!
Thank you guys!

i found that in the settings, we are only able to switch both Data&MMS enable or disable.
This there anyway to disable Data, but keeping the MMS alive.
i tried APNdroid, but after awhile, even i switch off from the APNdroid widget, i still can see the data connection come back alive..
please help!
ApnDroid works fine for me. I have MMS enabled and it never starts data connections without touching the widget.
APNdroid works for first few time switching on and off...
after that even it is off, notification stated off.
i'm seeing the data connection goes off for about 2-3seconds and come back alive.
Mine stays off, and I use it a lot of times a day! It seems I cannot help U
Search the market for an App called: "Toggle Data Widget" by Cameron Murphy.
It does exactly what you asked for...
its does work but mms is disable as well. Will try the toggle data widget.
What about APN on off by Curvefish?
It has the option to turn on MMS when you turn off APN.
It's working for me
Juice Defender will do it too...
Hi guys,
Got my HD yesterday...love it x100000. My first android so im still getting to grips with it all but what a fantastic phone.
Anyway my question is just about the data connection set up. I was just looking through the settings making sure everything is how I like it and I stumbled across this:
Settings > Wireless & networks > Mobile Networks and at the bottom there is an option which says 'Enable always-on mobile data'.
What is this and what does it mean? It says it uses more power on some mobile networks so do I turn it on or turn it off?
I have a wifi and mobile network widget on my home screen cause I like to be able to turn them on and off quickly.
If someone could just explain to me exactly what this setting is and whether I need it on or off.
Thanks a lot
This is your 3g connection. You should switch it off when you're not using it as it's a battery drainer. The always on option is good if you're waiting for a lstge ota update ir something similar and you have an unlimited data cobtract.

I see, but the thing is if I have Enable always-on data yet I have a mobile network widget on my home screen and I turn it off what is actually on?
I have sort of interpreted this always-on setting as:
If you have you mobile (3g) network turned on and have the always-on setting on, then when your phone goes into sleep mode the 3g connection is maintained and apps can still sync whilst your phone is locked/sleeping.
If you have your mobile network (3g) turned on but have the always-on setting turned off then whenever you lock your phone and it goes into sleep mode it is no longer connected to the 3g network and apps and stuff cannot sync (unless you're on wifi obviously). And as soon as you unlock the phone it will reconnect to the 3g network.
And turning the mobile network off from the widget or in settings overrides the always on setting.
Like I said this is only my interpretation of this setting...I've searched google and found almost nothing concrete about it just some opinions and I have searched through the full user manual for the desire HD and this setting has no mention.
So what do you think? Anyone else have any knowledge of this setting?
im not sure about this but i think it means that it doesnt connect, disconnect, connect again whenever you open or close the internet. its always connected, but not always active, so its faster to start up. its like leaving your wifi on all the time. theres always a connection but its not always passing data.
i leave mine always on because it doesnt eat much battery and it makes connecting over 3g much faster.
I'm having trouble figuring out how to shut off WiFi and Data and only use when I enable them. No Matter how I have the Data setup,when I turn off Wifi, Data connection turns up.
I would like to have them only enabled when I want them enabled.
Any way to do that?
You can use widgetzoid to set a togglebar for wifi/data.
I prefer using 'wifiwidget' for wifi because it shows the connection point and speed. I use widgetzoid for all my other toggles though (bluetooth/gps/etc)

Both of these are great little apps. But still the same problem. If I switch off WiFi, data comes on. I can switch it off with the widget and it pops back on. If the data is on, I can toggle it, but it just pops back on. If I turn on WiFi, data stays off.
To turn off 3g mobile data and only use wifi (when on), just go to Settings>Wireless and network > Mobile networks then uncheck "Use packet data". If you want to use it again just check it back on.
Apps can do it but I prefer to just use the settings.
The easiest way to turn wifi...just disable it from the 'notification menu'..
as for 3g or data services...long press the power/lock key till a menu pops up and select 'Data network mode'...this disables/enables it..

Hi, I suddenly don't have the thierd option in location settings which was to get location access based on wifi or mobile network. I attatched a screenshot from my phone please help how can I have it back ?
It should automatically use WiFi or mobile data if you turn it on. So that's all the options you need.

You can't disable Google location services on KK easily anymore. Built in and "permanent" on.
Alas the same fate from Galaxy S6 the dreadful no Mobile Data toggle is not there anymore, please tell me there is some sort of program that will fix this I don't want to deal with this again after kitkat and marshmallow.
I don't know of any quicker way than to drill down into the Data Usage settings (unless you want to turn off mobile voice too, in which case you can toggle Airplane Mode and then optionally toggle WiFi back on, which will also give you WiFi Calling if you have that enabled).
Just out of curiosity, why do you toggle Mobile Data so often as to benefit from a quick setting for it?
Thing is I don't like using my data when there is Wi-Fi but for some reason the data is still used while the Wi-Fi is connect, and no the Wi-Fi booster option you can use isn't on. It's quite annoying repetitively going into the connections and what not to turn it off rather than having a quick button to use in the notification dropdown.
And when I do turn it off it has that absurd mobile data turned off in the notifications it won't let me swipe it away just sits there in sure that bothers someone else. I have tried to make it go away but nothing works. Other than that I just would like to know why there isn't a mobile data toggle

I can see how a mobile-data toggle would be a useful workaround for that problem. But have you tried to fix the problem itself? Has it occurred on more than one WiFi network? When you turn off mobile data and use WiFi, does the Internet connection ever drop out?

Yes it has, no the internet connection doesn't drop out at all, I don't know what's going on but yes a mobile data toggle would be great I just don't see why AT&T supposedly removed it.
If you could get your data bug fixed, there wouldn't be much need for the toggle. Is it any app in particular that's using mobile data despite having a WiFi connection to the Internet? Or does everything on your phone do that?
Everything on the phone, and yes a mobile data toggle would still be required whether it's fixed or not, as I said having to repetitively go into the settings to turn it on and off is quite annoying especially when I need to use it.
try using Usage Manager app to toggle data..its faster than going through settings.
May I ask what are you talking about a usage manager

It's a system app. Think it has a widget, too.
Did you happen to purchase the phone from Samsung itself?
If you use nova launcher u can add a widget thru nova actions that takes u strait to mobile data settings.
Alright thanks for the help guys I had to snoop around to find usage manager apparently it was disabled on the phone, that is much better and faster

I use this. With the edge screen you can access from anywhere.
