Problem: The data arrows are always active on the top of my phone. When I go to the comm. manager and disable wlan, something keeps enabling it and then it immediately turns off again -- this happens over and over. I even have nue's hardware switch enabled and the wifi switch off.
How can I tell what is trying to access the connection?
Hi!
My problem is: I just get a Motorola Flipout, and my first setting was to disable the mobile data. On the top of the home screen (what you can pull down), there are two red arrow. Arrow up/arrow down Mobile data disabled.
How can i hid this message without turn the mobile data on?
Is there a setting what can i turn on, that only wifi sync?
Sorry for my english
Just use an app such as 3G Watchdog (I know that this app is working on the flipout) or just look for another app on the googe play.
this doesnt appear on my flipout
my data is always set off
you can use the widget to turn off
PROBLEM SOLVED!
I downloaded APNdroid.
I let the APN on in the settings, but turn off in the APNdroid, and voila!
Thank you guys!
Alas the same fate from Galaxy S6 the dreadful no Mobile Data toggle is not there anymore, please tell me there is some sort of program that will fix this I don't want to deal with this again after kitkat and marshmallow.
I don't know of any quicker way than to drill down into the Data Usage settings (unless you want to turn off mobile voice too, in which case you can toggle Airplane Mode and then optionally toggle WiFi back on, which will also give you WiFi Calling if you have that enabled).
Just out of curiosity, why do you toggle Mobile Data so often as to benefit from a quick setting for it?
Thing is I don't like using my data when there is Wi-Fi but for some reason the data is still used while the Wi-Fi is connect, and no the Wi-Fi booster option you can use isn't on. It's quite annoying repetitively going into the connections and what not to turn it off rather than having a quick button to use in the notification dropdown.
And when I do turn it off it has that absurd mobile data turned off in the notifications it won't let me swipe it away just sits there in sure that bothers someone else. I have tried to make it go away but nothing works. Other than that I just would like to know why there isn't a mobile data toggle

I can see how a mobile-data toggle would be a useful workaround for that problem. But have you tried to fix the problem itself? Has it occurred on more than one WiFi network? When you turn off mobile data and use WiFi, does the Internet connection ever drop out?

Yes it has, no the internet connection doesn't drop out at all, I don't know what's going on but yes a mobile data toggle would be great I just don't see why AT&T supposedly removed it.
If you could get your data bug fixed, there wouldn't be much need for the toggle. Is it any app in particular that's using mobile data despite having a WiFi connection to the Internet? Or does everything on your phone do that?
Everything on the phone, and yes a mobile data toggle would still be required whether it's fixed or not, as I said having to repetitively go into the settings to turn it on and off is quite annoying especially when I need to use it.
try using Usage Manager app to toggle data..its faster than going through settings.
May I ask what are you talking about a usage manager

It's a system app. Think it has a widget, too.
Did you happen to purchase the phone from Samsung itself?
If you use nova launcher u can add a widget thru nova actions that takes u strait to mobile data settings.
Alright thanks for the help guys I had to snoop around to find usage manager apparently it was disabled on the phone, that is much better and faster

I use this. With the edge screen you can access from anywhere.
I have T-Mobile and an AL10. My phone's internet seems to work fine at home, but once I get outside of my local area I don't get any internet service. This makes it quite infuriating to try using Google Maps for example. I have to stop and use wifi.
The "Mobile Data" button is disabled. Also, the 4 config options on the "Mobile Networks" page are greyed out. How can I enable these config options so that I can at least get basic internet working most of the time?
Is this a related message in the Dual SIM management: "Global mobile data is in compatibility mode"
It says I need to disable this for internet work, but when I disable it the phone either asks for a Huawei ID or tries to get me to buy a data package.
Never mind, I'm a moron! There is a big switch on the top of the screen. Disabling Sky Tone allowed my sim card to work. Yay.
Note: the 4G button was greyed out by default, so make sure to check that after disabling Sky Tone.
I've been using Tasker to turn on mobile hotspot automatically when I connect to my car's Bluetooth, so my headunit in the car can use the internet. Mobile Hotspot gets turned on fine, but nothing can connect to the hotspot until I unlock my S8. I will get "authentication errors" on anything I try to connect to the hotspot until the phone has been unlocked.
I can relock the phone afterwards and it still works, but it's obviously a pain having to take my phone out and unlock it every time (and kinda defeats the purpose of having Tasker turn the hotspot on). Is there some way around this?
I should add, this only seems to be a problem recently, since Oreo. Previously it worked without issue.
Go to settings - lock screen and security - secure lock settings - and uncheck the lock network and security. Should work, but I cannot test it since my phone is rooted. Good Luck
