Mobile Data Not Reconnecting - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ever since update 4.4.1 (then 4.4.2) after leaving the house where its on WIFI. The mobile data doesn't come back online automatically, I have to turn it off and back on.
I have heard that a fully factory reset will help.... but I dont want to if I can avoid it. Any Ideas?

Factory reset dont void ur warranty. Only let ur phone like the first day when u bought it (without the apps u installed). If u wanna do it simply:
- Go to Apps > Settings > Accounts > Back Up and Reset > Factory Data Reset > Reset Device > Delete All/Erase Everything.
Please remember to back up any data you want to keep first! In the Factory reset screen you also have the option to Backup My Data and Auto Restore. These are good options to tick before you Factory Reset if you're not too sure how to do this on your own.

[Q] Fully wipe a500

How can I fully wipe my system and everything back to the stock system like the tab is new without any thing i have done to it ??
Please help fast.
Thank you.
Are you using any custom Rom?? If not there is an option in settings to reset your tablet to Factory Settings. Settings> backup> factory data reset. That will bring your tablet back in the state were it was in when it was new.

I'm not rooted, so I cannot take a nandroid. I don't mind losing my applications if the
factory reset can actually give me a solution to the battery drain. Is it a tested solution ?

[Q] Phone Errased after Lollipop Update

Hello there, i've looked up the forum but havent foung anyone with a similar problem, which I was hopping it was going to be general.
I updated my note 3 from kit kat to lollipop yesterday, which was working just fine after the update. But around 3 hours ago I could not get a signal from my carrier, even though everyone elses phone was working just fine. So i tried rebooting my phone and after it restarted 80% of my apps werent there. I have only a few apps now but most of my downloaded apps are simply not showing, although it looks like from the storage windows that my data was not erased. Even though they are not showing in the "downloaded apps"" section I would have way more free space if they were indeed deleted.
Even stock apps are broken. Like my goodle services are missing and a lot of those stock apps that come with your phone and you cant delete are not there. PLus all my contacts are lost, my messesges are gone, but I have all my photos. This is really weird.
Another informations is that Im currently not using an micro sd memory card, so All my stored information and apps were running on my 32gb memory within the note 3 itself.
Ill reply as soon as I can to any questions or useful information.
I have tried rebooting it a few times and looking up online to see if anyone else has had a similar problem. If anyone can help Ill be very gratefull.
Thank you all in advance !
more information
HI, another usefull information is that whenever i reboot my phone theres a black screen that says "android is upgrading.........starting apps" then after a few seconds it goes to my lock screen but still a lot of my data is missing.
Safe mode maybe?

This happened coz you didn't factory reset/Wipe data the phone when you installed Lollipop. Do it and your phone will boot normally.

Yeah better. Copy all your internal data to your pc (music, photos, contacts are linked to your google account). Factory reset your device (Settings > Accounts > Back Up and Reset > Factory Data Reset > Reset Device > Delete All/Erase Everything) and take a look how your device works.

Master reset from settings menu
From any Home screen, tap the Menu key.
Tap Settings.
Tap the Accounts tab.
Tap Backup and reset.
If desired, tap Automatic restore to clear the check box.
If desired, tap Back up my data to clear the check box.
Tap Factory data reset.
Tap Reset device.
If you have screen lock turned on, enter your PIN or password. Tap Continue.
Tap Delete all.

"SuperSU"
Use the app to unroot your phone. If you don't have it, get it from Play Store.
Navigate to settings > full unroot.
(You'll notice the app is uninstalled automatically after some time. Just reboot once) and Bingo! Your phone is Unrooted and back in warranty.
You no need to format everything and backup/restore and many more things. Just use the app.

After you remove root with SuperSU, you can perform a wipe data/factory reset from within recovery. Just boot to recovery and run the wipe data/factory reset, and all your installed applications will be gone. That will set it back to just stock.
If the knox counter has been tripped, that may be used as a reason for denying a warranty claim.
the knox counter was tripped but not barbecue of rooting (all my rooting i was careful and did ones that didn't trip knox)
i was trying to update but used a att i337 file and not bells i337"m" so it tripped it
if they deny it im gonna try and say one of there reps told me to update and use odin and i downloaded the wrong file but then redid it with bell and that why it tripped it
is odin a Samsung app ??
is odin a Samsung program (meaning samsung tech are aware of it and use it ?)
or is odin a hackers program ?
Samsung
