Hello, mobile data on my Verizon galaxy S5 stays on even when I turn it off. Sometimes when it's turned off and even when the H+ sign isn't active I can still navigate on the internet which means data is still on. Any help please ?

hi,
the data (3g/2g) is taking alot of my battery life..
i'm looking for someting like "setting profiles" that is running as a service and while being connected to wifi its automatically disabling the data (Data enabled)
and returning it to enabled when there is no wifi connection...
i didn't see in setting profiles option to set profile without data....
when you connect to wifi, android OS turns of the 3g data connection already.

As far as I know, Android turns off data when on wifi automatically without any additional software

Turns off, or just uses the WiFi preferentially? There's a difference, though operationally perhaps irrelevant.
My NS frequently shows BOTH the WiFi connected and the Edge signal indicator while I'm at home. Both green.

it turns it off. the 3g data session is terminated once you connect to wifi, and when you turn off wifi, the 3g data connection is re-established.
Agreed, it turns OFF the the 3g data. Notice that when you get on WiFi, that the wifi icon appears, and the 3g icon DISAPPEARS. This is because it's disabling the 3g since it has access to a wifi connection
this has been the default since as far as i've used Android
Hi,
I just started my vacation in Spain but I've run into a problem with my cell. Upon arrival I notice that the phone won't connect to mobile data. Both mobile data and roaming is turned on, and it gives me the message of loosing the data connection if I turn it off, but I don't get any connection. What's even more weird is that I can't connect to WiFi either. All other devices here manages to but not mine. When connecting to the router it reads Connecting... but it stops and the access point reads Saved, secured with WPA/WPA2. Now and then I also get the popup notifying me that there are available networks to add to my annoyance.
Does anyone know what the heck is going on? Back in Norway both mobile data and Wifi worked flawlessly. I'm running RB 4.0 on a Samsung s3 (i9300)
Can anyone help me figure out why my data is not working? I have a sprint galaxy s4 on nextech wireless. I have voice and text working just fine but anytime I change anything about the data settings the 3g icon disappears and it doesn't even seem to try to connect to the internet. Does anyone know all the things I have to change to get it to work?
Does anyone at least know what the s4 needs to gain Internet connection?
Internet on the S4

Based on what you have said so far if your getting text you phone is working at least for text and phone. Go into settings, connections and see what is turned on. to access the internet the WIFI setting must be on. To access the internet via your data plane the Mobile data icon must also be on. Make sure you have not limited mobile data usage.
It might be helpful for you to send a screen shot of your device, Go to setting, more, about device and let us see what your running.

Wifi works just fine I mentioned I need to get mobile data working thanks for any help
How does the phone prioritize between Wifi and Mobile Data? Say you have both Wifi and Mobile Data turned on does the phone use Wifi if you have an active connection? Can I leave Mobile Data turned on and not worry about using up my data if connected to Wifi?
Noticed that I have no Mobile Data toggle in the quick toggle menu. Since I am on a limited Data plan I like to toggle it on and off. I did find the toggle in settings but that is annoying to get to.
I decided to try out Tasker to make a task when at these cell towers turn on Wifi and turn of Data. Turns out with Tasker you need to be root to turn off Mobile Data.
If you leave your data on, you will have battery drain and also more data tracking taking from you as well.
You don't need both on.
Any recommendations on being able to toggle Mobile Data on/off with out having to go into settings every time?
There are multiple settings you can use: Like WiFi preferred, or you can even prevent apps from using particular networks you specify, or block particular programs from network access all together. It may take some time in experimenting but there are many options to choose from.
Hello , i have similar problem, when is connected to wifi , dont disconect data, i see all trafic go to wifi, but the battery drain fast, and if i dont disconnect data manually charge is slow too!
I try many thing,reset network settings, wipe cache, include factory reset, and re flash the original firmware, but the problem persist, i was call samsung support and say, we have to repair it, but i buy the phone in usa and live in spain
Any solution for that?
Thanks in advance
It will always use WiFi if you're connected to WiFi. Battery life really shouldn't change at all since no mobile data is flowing through that connection, and even with mobile data off you're still connected to LTE, it just won't use it for data.
Go to the WiFi settings and make sure smart network switch it off, otherwise it will disconnect from weak WiFi and use data.
Yes smart network is off
Download booster off
On developer option, keep mobile data turned on is off too
I just factory reset again, with out any update or software , on the first reboot this issue happen again
Make me crazy!
Thanks in advance

By default your phone will use WiFi for data whenever WiFi is connected. You shouldn't have to manually disconnect mobile data.
If you want to be doubly sure, have your mobile data on and at the same time connect to a WiFi that is not connected to the internet. You will find that you will not be able to browse the internet, update any apps or do pretty much anything that requires the internet.
Yes i can manually disconnect data when is wifi connected
But is miss it, battery drain so fast

I see from your pic that mobile data icon is showing at the same time as your WiFi.
Perhaps you may want to reset your network settings.
You do this by: settings > general managment > reset > reset network settings
Edit:
Never mind, i see that you've tried this already a couple of post above.
I already do , also i do wipe data and cache, factory reset, and flash original firmware , and problem persist!
To get mobile data to work, I first have to turn on mobile data, then turn on Wi-Fi, and then turn off Wi-Fi. If I just turn on mobile data, it just shows a little cross symbol on the signal bar area, (just like it does when it is turned off). Is this common? Is there a fix?
