Mobile data keeps turning on - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there,
I've got a problem with mobile data on my i9505. It randomly keeps turning on every few hours.
Anyone experienced something like this? Or maybe there is a way to find in log, what causes it?
I checked which apps have permission to change network state. As there is plenty of it, I would rather avoid to freeze them one by one to find the one that I am looking for.
Any ideas?

Data Constantly In Use

So for the second day straight my phone battery has dropped to half in about 4 hours screen off in my pocket... After closing every program and turning off data sync, the 3G connection is still constantly in use. I downloaded a network traffic program to check usage, and to my surprise my phone had downloaded over 60MB in just 1 hour. I restarted the phone and the problem seemed to be fixed, however it's started back up again, even after restarts and switch from airplane mode and back.
I'm already using SwitchPro, I have all sync options turned off already. The problem didn't come up until a few days ago.
I haven't installed any new programs or widgets in the last couple of daysIs anyone else having a similar issue? Have you been able to solve it?
I had the same issue then I flashed Fresh. Now it is working proper. I would suggest flashing a dif ROM or factory reset.
Load aLogcat or Quicksysteminfo , from market and look at your logcat file. The cause will be obvious from there. If the phone is "idle" and the logcat is recording what's doing the data moving, you can then kill it.
Is it me or is the hands free Bluetooth constantly running even when unchecked.Maybe im looking at the log cat wrong but it appears that way
It looks like location services was using all that data. I think anyway, I'm not sure If read the logcat right, but a lot of that information dealt with location stuff. I went to settings, privacy, and disable google services from using my location and the constant 3g seems to have stopped.
Why would it just go ape **** like that after having the phone for 3 weeks?
I just noticed the same problem, turns out it was the people app that was causing it. I killed it and data traffic stopped. You can launch it from the menu and it loads back up and is fine. Just seems to be when it starts by itself when you first boot up the phone.

[Q] Notifications not received!?

Hi there,
I am having the issue of not getting any kind of notification from apps or what so ever on my nexus 4, i noticed that my phone was really quite for a long time and i figured quickly that it is the phone and not the router or so, only after disabling and then reabling wifi on my device the notifications start to poor in, although in the meanwhile i can use the phone, the apps and web.
Any ideas why this is happening? i just had done a factory restore like two weeks ago because i had more app issues and also because my device was not reconnecting automatically to known networks, this issue disappeared and now i`m having this no notification issue.
I recommend you to reinstall your apps which you receive notifications often from. It may help
Thanks
i will try, but i don`t think it will help because all of them do same...so mathematically seen it can`t be an issue with all the apps at once and over night...
Thanks for the suggestion though.
Yeah, try clearing data and reinstalling the apps which are giving you issues. In addition, download an app called push notification fixer from the playstore, set ot as its default settings, apply them and reboot the device. See if that helps.

WIFI turns on and off constantly

when turning my wifi off it seems it goes into some weird loop of turning on and off constantly by itself, it doesn't seem to be trying to connect just flipping the wifi switch on and off none stop.
noticed it because i had a huge battery daring overnight and while trying to fix it i saw the switch going off and on all the time.
when turning it back on it seems to connect normally .
did a network setting rest but it did nothing ...
I'm guessing a factory rest will fix the problem but I'm hoping to avoid such a overkill solution :crying:
does anyone else had this problem and can help me fix it?
thanx!

original samsung rom.
just happened (i have the device for a a while everything was fine) its the android system that drains the battery in the battery status.
when i leave the wifi on it stops and works fine ...
Have you turned off ''Keep Wifi During Sleep''? I know this can drain battery.
It's not so easy to troubleshoot on an orginal none rooted phone.
You can try clearing dalvik and cache.
Turn it off and then on holding power and vol down button, then clear cach/dalvik and restart.
Try uninstall update beaming service for samsung then restart
If still persistent try uninstall update microsoft onedrive and skype then restart, just in case
I found it after factory reset (forgot internal data backup :crying and update all apps, this problem occuring after the last 3 updates (beaming, onedrive, & skype) which more suspect beaming service update make that problem
Your not alone
You're not the only one who suffer from this exact problem, on Friday or Saturday the same problem started occurring with my phone too, WiFi turns on and off in a loop and huge battery drain!
I saw an increase of 6% of battery drain per hour, so I ended up on 9% total drain every hour. :crying:
I have original Samsung Rom and phone worked prefect until now, no settings or apps installed before this happened either.
What rom version are you guys on?
I'm having the same issue. However, I'm on PhoenixX Rom. Major battery killer and has only just started happening within the past few days.
Since my phone has been unplugged, 3 hours ago, looking at BetterBatteryStats, It is showing com.google.android.gms as having quite a LOT of wakeups. 40 per hour (everything else is about 2). Don't know if this is normal as I don't remember it before the Wifi issue.
Looking into what the wake ups are caused from, Location and heartbeat were the major culprits. So i have turned of WIFI scanning when not on and also the body sensors for Google Play. We shall see.

Easy fix. Just disable Wi-Fi scanning.

its not a fix at all . it dosnt scan for wifi , just turning it on and off non stop.
like pressing the light switch agin and agin
I had this after installing "GoodLock" software from Samsung! Uninstalled and everything is ok
same here, just noticed I wasnt on Wifi and the switch is just flicking on and off by itself. Standard S7 with all the updates installed
Been struggling with the same for some days (4 - 5) I haven't been able to get exactly whats triggering this. I'm on stock rom with root. I've reinstalled firmware clean again and re downloaded my apps but it is still happening randomly. Some times after a few attempts to switch wifi on (even when it is toggling by itself) it manages to keep on. Sometimes restarting makes it work again. One thing I'm almost certain its that this usually happens after I turn wifi OFF and then try to turn it back on.
It's been crazy and the phone starts to overheat after a while off this on-off loop.
Any ideas?
its very wierd it started to all of us in the past few days-weeks . seems like samsung has a bug they need to hurry up and fix.
AT&T just pushed out the October Security update for the S7 family, I'm guessing something that came along with it is creating the problem.
mine did a software update last week and I've been away in airplane mode so it could have started then. I've just disabled scanning and that seems to have got round the issue and I'm now connected to WifI
I'm not sure whether it is a Samsung Issue or a Third party one... It is true that something recently affected all of us, but as far as I know, it could be a third party app that wasn't well developed for our phone.
I've noticed the same problem on my phone and it's also only started up in the last few days. On stock Sammy rom, unrooted. Will be monitoring this thread to see if the experts here can narrow down the culprit.
I had the same issue and I was able to stop the toggle by turning off the wifi scanning in Location - Improve Accuracy - WiFi scanning. It's a fix for now. I think it may be an app that may have been updates that is persistently looking for location updates.

Wi-Fi Problem

Hi everyone, as I see/read some other people are having this issue with wi-fi that drops a few minutes after screen goes off no matter which settings you choose it will always drop (even if you choose "always on" in advanced settings); I decided to root, flash custom roms, etc also to see If this could solve the problem since I thought it was software-related but nothing changed.. Since I can solve this by using an app called Wi-Fi Keep Alive (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.shantz.wifikeepalive&hl=it) my question is: if an app can solve this issue it shouldn't be software-related then? I mean, if this bug was hardware-related an app shouldn't change nothing right? So there may be a way to solve this by modifying something in system or wherever it should be to get rid of this annoying bug? I'm asking because the app does solve the problem but at the same devours battery.

Mobile data stops working

Hey everyone, I'm running a completely stock OnePlus 5 running Oxygen OS v10.0.1 and my mobile data randomly, but more and more regularly cuts out, toggling mobile data on/off, and even reboots don't fix it, the only thing that seems to fix it is toggling airplane mode a few times and it starts working again.
I'm wondering if anyone has this issue and/or knows what could be causing it? I really like this phone and don't want to go through the hassle of getting a new phone, so any advice for a perm fix would be much, much appreciated.
Thanks in advance, y'all rule
