Data connection constantly active... - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys. My data connection is constantly active as if I'm constantly downloading something in the background. The H+ signal is always lit up. It's been like this for a full day now without ever going off and it's killing my battery, and as far as I am aware, I am not downloading anything.

Ever consider disable mobile data?

That wouldn't be of any help whatsoever considering I need my mobile data lol. If anyone can help me out I'd be very grateful.

Disable it and enable it again to see if it stops. If it doesn't, follow the Fast Dormancy guide the user above just posted.

Disabling apps constantly syncing may help ...
Disabling fast dormancy won't help if your carrier doesn't support it ... if it does it may i don't know about that ...

Thanks guys. When I turn off my sync I've still got a constantly active data connection, it's bloody annoying lol.

Please explain 4G to me ? I'm stumped.

Here's the thing.
My NS4G when it's connected to 4G is great.
However, when it goes idle (which is most of the time if I'm not using it), I'm not connected to the internet at all. No puch notifications. No Gtalk messages. No Facebook updates. Nothing.
And it only wakes up when I wake it up.
this all sorts of defeats the object of having a contantly on connection, and I don't get the benefit of 4G, unless it's literally only to be used when I'm surfing the web ? Is that all it's good for on this phone, and the reaosn I'm paying another 10 bucks ?
Is there any way to increase the tine it takes to go idle ?
Hmmm... it should just be idle when no data is needed. We had another report from another user of the same problem. Can you send email to yourself and wait 10 min to make sure it doesn't work?

That is exactly what I've been doing all day. No emails. Gtalk goes offline. all get delivered when I connect by browsing or opening facebook. anything that required data.
Hmm there was a setting for something like that. I used it on my evo to conserve juice I just had to check my phone if expecting something important

Look in the questions section for thread called 4g idle. That's the same issue.

Why does my phone drop its mobile network when shutting it down?

Every time I go to shut down my phone the mobile network drops right before it turns off and consequently every time I turn it back on I need to reconnect to my mobile network.
Hope someone can help!
Thanks
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
its part of the normal boot process? I don't understand? lol
Because the radio turns off before the OS shuts down. Its normal behavior.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
Is this your first smartphone?
Sounds normal... Unless we are missing something.
I'd be much more worried if it didn't
But I need to reconnect manually every time it restarts. That isn't normal.
I wasn't specific enough
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
what do you mean by manually?
I need to go into my settings, search for providers and reconnect every time I reboot.

MTS, a local, Winnipeg, Manitoba, based ISP.
Love how critical lots of you are

not critical just a bunch of immature joking children who like to poke fun. but eventually help lol. did you hit select automatically under network operators? if that doesn't help I would phone them. or try another sim if you can to see if it does the same thing
Yea, I was thinking about grabbing an LTE sim card and messing around with that, maybe that'll help. I'll try that. Ty

AT&T Note 3 with same problem.

Made a thread about this. The wifi in this phone sucks. I think it has something to do with the wifi quality check before it connects. Any apk I can delete so it doesnt check the quality and just connects
It happened to me last night too. On the screen with the list of available wifi networks about every 5 seconds it would cycle from seeing all of the nearby ones, to saying my remembered network was not in range, even though the router is about 10 feet away. A reboot took care of it, and my wifi has been very solid since then, much better than my old Evo 4g LTE.
Yep mine does it but if you go on where the wifi scans, menu button and advanced and there's a option along the lines of check quality. I unchecked that and it's been fine all day...

Happens to me too and my 3G seems to be very slow.
Haven't had this problem before with other mobiles...
coolfreebies
I have the AT&T version and my wifi has been great, I have wiped and flashed the stock firmware back a few times tho. They may have something to do with it.
yeah how to get rid of the wifi quality check.. also problematic when it detects the wifi if the internet is slow or not.. sometime we dont need it to check if the internet is slow or not we just want to connect

4.3 keeps dropping internet connection?

Hi, I've had my nexus 4 for about a month now, when I got the phone I automatically updated to 4.3.
Since the very first day I've had it, it has kept dropping internet connection randomly multiple times everyday? The signal bars will go from blue to grey and stay like that until I either reboot the phone or turn on airplane mode then turn back off again.
Its becoming a constant hassle trying to use the internet because it keeps hanging.
Has anyone else come across this problem? If so what did you do to fix it?
Thanks alot
Sent from my Nexus 4 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Do you mean WiFi or carrier data? And how good is your carrier signal? You can try flashing a different baseband.
For WiFi, try turning off Wifi Optimization.
Its the carrier data that keeps dropping, I also get full bars most of the time.

Its surely a baseband problem..nothing to worry..
Just try different basebands and test them and see what works for you,but for that you need to be rooted..
Before you asking or creating a new thread refer to efrants thread for unlocking and rooting.:good:

Mobile data always uses more battery than wifi. It is a known issue. Something to do with signal strength the more weaker the signal the more battery drain.
Afaik.

Sorry, but the problem is excessive data usage for android os and Google services. Like 200mb per day.

Sorry for being late. turn off your sync. Turn automatic app updates off and if possible do a hard reset. And yes as said above 3G usage or being idle drains battery at greater extent. Being always on 3G will last your battery about 6 hrs. Try for hard reset this might work as it worked for me. All the best.
