It's always been normal for my older phones to have both on at the same time. I assumed the wifi would take precedence dunno.
On my new S7E I saw a setting for fast downloads that uses both at the same time. You might have that turned on.
It's called download booster under, settings, wireless and networks, more.

Have the same issue on mine after the update where both shows up. When this happens its usually in an area where data and wifi aren't strong so it seems that it uses a combined signal from both for faster connections. Usually I just turn off wifi and turn it back on and then it'll be wifi only.

As already said by @Flintlock take a closer look at the following settings:

Wifi dropping out

I have a problem with my wifi tablets wifi signal
I line to use my tab when I'm free and at work so I use the wifi that they provide its a very large stable network, its a university it has to be.
They have wifi blanketing the whole campus with 3 significations "wireless" "secure" "guest" "voice"
They all require some form of verification and the preceded is secure as one login with propped saved credentials keeps you online as you move from building to building or router to router
Where I'm sitting now I get a 100% strength signal however it will randomly drop off completely and only reconnect when toggling on and off wifi
Any ideas?

unstable wifi connection solved
Hi folks, just go to "Wireless setting" on your router, open your browser, type 192.168...as whatever to log in your router. Then set the right region, set channel not many using in your area, then uncheck "the automatic channel width" and choose either 20M or 40M. Remember to uncheck the automatic channel width. Best for Samsung tab 7.7 p6800.That's it folks. Hope it'll help.

Most specific Wi-Fi monitoring app (more specific than "OS Services")?

Hi! My Wi-Fi won't turn off if my phone is asleep. Trying to diagnose what it's keeping it on. Used My Data Manager, but it is too vague:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
OS Services could be anything! Any really specific, maybe down to the process name, monitoring apps?
Thanks in advance,
Did you check the settings to turn off Wi-Fi when not in use? Go under settings, Wi-Fi, menu key.

I did! I have a whole separate thread on fixing that issue; see it here!
I may have found app called Network Counter. I'll run it overnight and see what's really accessing the WiFi.
Thanks for the help, mate.

Sure thing.

Something constantly using my Data!?

Whenever I connect to the internet on my N4, something keeps chewing up all the data bandwidth, so much so that my HSPA connection ground to a halt this morning!!
What is the best way to determine what is using up all the bandwidth without going through every single app and disabling them one by one?
Any good apps that will track this?
Please don't mention the "Data Usage" within Android Settings - to me it is almost useless!
Cheers

for me 3G watch dog and data usage gives almost similar number +-2%. Other than 3G watch dog I used phone usage from play store.
There are firewall available which makes you choose which all apps you want to use your data. (MIUI had great inbuilt option which I used year ago)
The Data Usage app built into Android 4.2 does work for you?

You can even look at a day by day usage, by touching the graph and moving the white handles around.

Do you have any 3rd party launchers/widgets installed ? You may want to look into that list of apps first. I would also uninstall lesser known apps first, one by one, and check which one caused the issue
I actually did that, no widgets, no launcher just the page you see in the screen shots, no lesser known apps, nothing fixes it.

I'm not sure if this would work, but try disabling Nearby Device Scanning from settings and see if this fixes the issue.
I used to get that when the profile sharing thing was enabled, can't remember what it is called exactly but it was a Samsung thing that lets you share your gallery to family members etc. I debloated my phone though so can't remember the name exactly.
I don't get the error when I'm connected to WiFi only get the error when I'm not connected to any data or when I'm on 4g.

This problem is getting fixed when the device restarts and starts when I am turning on wifi scanning in location service. Even after turning it off.. its not turning off.
