[Q] Mobile data being used while disabled

I use the latest NexusHD2 ROM and sometimes my phone connects to 3G and uses up my money for mobile internet from my provider even though I have it disabled, because I only use Wi-fi. It also does this when I install ROM through CWM and boot it up. My temporary solution was to install app to block mobile data to certain applications, but I'd like some better solution if there is.
Forgot to mention, but apps that have autoupdate feature in them do this too when I have wifi off.

Have you tried fixing permissions?

OK I'll try that and report back :good:

Sorry for doublepost, but I wanted to say so far so good altough whenever I flash new ROM it always has them enabled by default, It would be good if I could turn them off before that so I don't have to take out my SIM card everytime :/

Don't know where it is but if you remove the apn file from the rom before installing that should do it.
Google is your friend
I do now.. /system/etc/apns-conf.xml

[Q] Help, packet data not working

Hi, the packet data is not working. In settings it's enabled, but the icon next to the battery one is not shown. I tried turning it off and on, but of course, nothing happened. I'm a newbie, so any help will be appreciated.
Before it stopped working, i was testing some widgets ("power toggles", and the one of the aplication "optimize tool box"), and I updated the lighting launcher. I'm not sure that's relevant, but well...
ps: i have stock rom, stock kernel and it's root.

I get the same problem sometimes. Try restarting the phone with the packet data turned on. When the phone restarts, it refreshes the network received and that sometimes solves the problems, i.e. the icon is shown in the status bar. If you still don't get it, that means that the data network is not available by your service provider at that time.

Hi, thanks for the answers. Unfortunately it didn't work turning the flight mode on and off, or restarting the phone with the packet data turned on.
I tried the SIM in another phone and the packet data works, so it's the cellphone and not a network provider issue.

When you insert a new sim to the phone
Or format your phone
U should get two sittings massages
One for mms and one for 3g

make sure you have a working APN
if not, try to insert a new sim (same network provider) and see if it updates APN settings.

Try flashing a fresh stock rom of your region.This might help you.
Rom:JellyBlast V3
Kernel:Kurotstogi
Theme:Xperia theme with some personal modification.

Check your APN settings if it's correctly set. Most problems occur with this.

Having an issue detecting new wifi signals

Problem - Certain WIFI connections are not appearing on my phone, for example at work. Phone says that there are "wireless networks available" but nothing new shows up. But WIFI connections at home work. Since I have discovered this problem, I cant make "new" connections" basically. The connection at home works because i connected to it before i discovered this problem or I have deleted something along the way.
Usually I am the type that we go thru and uninstall useless programs / services off of my phone. I typically install custom ROMS that take care of this but I havent do so with the Moto X. I like the active display feature and want to keep it. I even go thru with App Op and disallow certain permissions thru out the system (mostly location services).
Can someone please help me. I feel like I could run a backup and reinstall 4.4 and I feel like it would go away but I was looking for a simpler way of fixing this.
Of course I can provide more details if needed.
Currently my phone is 4.4 Stock with root access.
thanks in advance

If you use WiFi analyzer do the signals show up in the app?

Installed the app. I'm currently at home, so i can't truly test it, but my home network and surrounding networks do show up.
Thanks for the quick response btw.

No worries!
That would seem to say that there's an issue with the settings program on the phone and not actually the hardware. Someone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong though...
Edit: have you tried wiping the cache?

i havent wiped the cache yet. can i achieve this within 4.4 or thru a custom recovery. The only time i have in the past, was with SafeStrap or BMM. which i havent installed neither on Moto X

Never seen an option to wipe cache inside the os, that would be something you'd have to do externally. Perhaps someone with a bit more insight can provide a more concrete solution.

I did find speed dialer under contacts in Activity Launcher. I can apply a contact to speed dial number, but when I atempt to use said number. Message shows up... "Voice calls not supported." Beh... was worth a try.

Sounds like you found the magic answer, however, your SIM card may only be provisioned for data only. Take the SIM out of your phone and try it.

Im going to try swapping my wife's sim with mine. If that doesn't work I think i'm going to just leave this one alone for the time being.

in looking at the user manuals it appears the T337T does not have an additional microphone (for speaking into as in a phone call) unlike the T335 which does. This indicates to me that the T337t could not be used as a phone even if someone managed to get the phone app, modem etc all to work together (unless microphone arrangements were changed and even at that would not be worth the trouble-unlikely it would work well-as the folks using CM/AOSP on such tablet phone devices-no solution for echo issue due to speaker/microphone config)

Just so that I'm clear. You did a Factory Data Reset in the Settings menu? Not a Reset Network Settings?
I'm experiencing the same issue with my S7 Edge.

Even without the icon, you can turn hotspot on and off in Settings.

I rooted PG1 and had the same issue. Miss Wifi Hotspot completely no icon not in settings. I unrooted and made sure tethering was install in my stock rum. Re-rooted after getting pass the auto activation process. I check to see if tethering stucked n yes it was. Fixed.. root unroot until it sticks

One more think i did do the home.csc but didn't work for me.

I've found the cause of this. When you disable or turn off security policy updates under lockscreen and security, it will stay indefinetly.

Yeah, I finally found out from some techs that they lo-key removed the hotspot in an update because they claim that it causes the phone to overheat.
