Mobile Data Turned off.... Box Pops Up!

Whenever I turn on or reboot, a box comes up, "Mobile Data" telling me what I already know, "Mobile data connection is currently disabled. You need to connect Mobile data to use data applications, such as Browser, Email, and You Tube via Mobile network. Do you want to make the connection?"
This box appears with or without sim card, WiFi on or off, but whenever I boot or reboot. The only time the box doesn't come up, is when mobile data is on, which you can't do, without having the sim card installed.
To eliminate box on boot, leave sim card inserted with mobile data on. I have a Samsung Note, same conditions, there has never been a box pop up at boot or reboot. Easy to click cancel button go move on, but box is irritating, so would like to make it simply go away when device is booted!

No One?
No one has experienced this on their P6800?

I get the same thing - SIM card inserted but data turned off, receive a popup when booting.
It's only one tap to dismiss, and how often are you rebooting anyway! Mildly annoying, but not a big issue for me...

Agree
Not a big deal, yet same setup for Tab's little brother, the Note, and no box. Perhaps the difference between Gingerbread 2.3.6 and Honeycomb 3.2. It still would be nice to not have that box pop up whenever booting/rebooting.

It will become very often if you use honeybar,Lol.
Anyway,It's because of rooting.
I posted same question on rooting thread.
Hoping that root developer can find a way to fix it..

I am not rooted. But I also get this dialog. I would love to disable it.

Anyone figure this out yet? Extremely annoying, especially when using honeybar.

I also have it, but since I'm so used to it, my fingers automatically hit cancel lol yep, I would like to disable this as well specially when using honeybar

Get rid of update screen

so the steps people have been saying to do is to locate the Moto OTA app (in settings - app - all), FC it and then Disable Notifications. But this doesn't work for me.. I usually just end up deleting the .zip file. Eventually it comes back, but it buys me time in between notifications.

Use Titanium Backup and disable MotoOTA.apk or whatever.

Can't get past Lollipop Tap & Go setup screen

Whenever I hit skip, it'll show a blank page with a status bar and the back navigation key and then just take me to the wifi menu. I can't skip the wifi menu (The button is disabled). I've reflashed twice (using flash-all.bat) and used the stock recovery to restore to factory settings. Any help is appreciated. I used the leaked ROM but I heard it's the same.

Same here. I flashed the factory image from the Google site. I get connected to WiFi, but the next screen has "Skip" greyed out, and it just stalls ("Checking connection..." "This can take up to a minute"). I'm rebooting now and trying again, and will report back.
Update: Same thing. I know the WiFi connection is good, but I guess I'll try again when I get home tonight.

About to try with a redownloaded image. Glad to know it's not just me. I should add that one of my many tries to hit skip, it popped up a message that said "Google Play Services is not responding". I'll update after I reflash.

Any luck? I ended up flashing 4.4.4 again. Waiting for it to boot.

Hell, I can't even get the Nexus Root Toolkit to see my device, much less flash anything. Frustrating.

I wish it was so simple for me. I had to disable the setup manager using this post. I still can't set up my google account. I found out it was Google Play Services that wasn't me allowing to do anything.

From Lollipop, Google wants user has a working net connection to boot up.
Prob 1, Your wifi has an active firewall to prevent accessing google servers.
Prob 2, You don't have a sim card or data plan.

Probably next time you can try choose language like "Chinese"(中文简体), Cuz' here we have firewall to block Google, Probably google knows that so the connection check only last for one minute. This worked for me.

OP8 Pro is not able to connect to my WearOS watch (Fossil Sport)

Hey guys, I have a new OP8 Pro and tried to connect it to my Fossil Sport smartwatch. The problem is that I am not even able to connect it. I did a factory reset on my watch and started the linking process in the wearOS app. Everything works fine until I select the my watch to connect. My phone asks me the check the code (it matches to the one on my watch) and after pressing pair, the phone continues with the process but the watch keeps telling me that my phone wants to connect and shows me the bt connect code. After 1/6 of the "getting informations from your watch" the app doesnt do sh*t anymore. I noticed that that the bt connection to my watch is disconnecting and connecting again and again but doesnt stay connected.
My troubleshooting is exactly Pike this redet post: https://amp.reddit.com/r/WearOS/comments/f20lxm/oneplus_7t_and_fossil_sport_not_connecting_help/
Unfortunely there isnt a solution to the problem. So maybe here is someone who had the same issue
I tried connecting my watch to another phone and it works perfectly so it is definitely a problem with my OP8.
Glad about any help. Thanks a lot!
Greetings
Marcel

I use a Fossil Sport, and had this same issue when I originally set mine up. I wish I had a better answer, but I just tried and tried again until it worked. Between each attempt I cleared everything I could think of. Reset the watch, cleared google play services cache, cleared wear os app cache, reinstalled the wear os app, manually removed the watch from bluetooth settings, reset network settings, I'm probably forgetting some things, but it did eventually connect. Frustrating, and I'm sorry I don't remember exactly what fixed it, but the good news is it will eventually work.

I don't have a sport but I have a gen 5 and there was no issue and I have had to reset and reconnect a couple times.
Best of luck!

I have a gen 5 and the devices are connect because i receive the notify but on the top of the smartwatch there is the cloud of the no connection... I think therr are some problem with the bluetooth of this phone

Thank you very mich for the reply. I've already done that at least 20 times, but at least there is hope that it will eventually work one time/day. Really frustrating and I hope they will fix this soon so when I have to reset my phone someday I will at least not have this problem again. :silly:

Okay guys it finally worked. Im not sure why, didnt do anything else but reinstalling, deleting chache and data of WearOS and Google play Services and resetting my watch. I can only imagine that it was because the languages of my phone and my watch didnt match. My phone is in english and I set my watch to german. It worked when I set up my watch in english (GB). I really dont know if that really was the solution or if it was just luck this time because i tried english (US) before that and it didnt work. So to anyone who is having the same problem I hope I can help you with this and hang on... I'll work sometime

LG-H918 - lg ims has stopped

I've had my LG V20 for over a year now... it has been working fine until this morning, when I've started getting a popup saying "lg ims has stopped", about every 10 seconds.
I've searched around Google for a solution to this, but cannot execute any of the solutions that they mention...
1. I have not installed any new apps on my phone in weeks now, so that's not the issue.
2. Many solutions say to call 277634#*# to open a config menu, then open 'IMS Settings' on this menu and change 'IP Version' to IPV4...
Unfortunately, while I can get to the config menu, if I open 'IMS Settings' menu, this error pops up, and switches me back to the previous menu...
This is nuts!!! Is there any way to actually fix this, other than factory reset, which I *really* don't want to do!!!!
Please Help??

I have the exact same problem. I just did a factory reset. Once I got to the part about adding recommended apps, the darn "Unfortunately, LG IMS has stopped" message started popping up again. So, from my experience, doing the factory reset does not help eliminate this problem. Now trying to figure out what to try next.

Did this just start, yesterday or today??
I'm wondering if LG has actually discontinued some service that the phone relies on??
I'm thinking of getting another V20 from ebay, because I *really* love this phone!! But I don't want to end up with another phone having the same issue...

A couple hours ago. As you have probably seen, the problem is not new. Would love to know why both of us were affected today.
I'm currently trying variations of what I've seen on this page:
What is LG IMS and How to Fix the “Unfortunately, LG IMS Has Stopped” issue? – The Shared Web

Okay, here's an update... I switched back to an old phone, then powered up my V20, and this error no longer occurred... I also was able finally to get to the 'IMS Settings' menu (after dialing 277634#*# as recommended at all sites for this issue)...
I tried each of these settings (recommended by various sources):
> set IP Version to IPV4V6 (default is IPV6V4)
> set IP Version to IPV6
> disable VoLTE
In each of these cases, once I inserted a valid SIM and rebooted, this error message began occurring again.
So my best guess at this point, is that LG has simply disabled something on the V20, and I just won't be able to use it any more, at least with MetroPCS/TMobile...

I replaced my 12 year old wireless access point this a few days ago. Thought maybe the new WAP with Wi-Fi 6 was causing the problem. Put my old WAP back. Reset the phone again. Message started again when I got to loading apps.

Found this video that was posted today about the problem. Already has almost 21k views. One of the commenters says he contacted LG and LG is supposedly working on it and will push out a fix in 24 to 48 hours.

Whoa !! Thanks for the update!! I sure hope this works...

I found this a few minutes ago. I also have a v20 and this worked for me, so hopefully it works for you as well. It says to put into airplane mode, which for me did not stop the pop ups. Removing the sim card works, but once I put it back in, the error occured until I re-followed these steps. So unfortunately, you will just have to put up with the pop-ups while doing this. It's been about 15 minutes and I haven't gotten the message, so it looks like I'm in the clear. Hopefully you will be, too.
Set your LG phone to airplane mode to prevent the error message from popping up over and over.
Head to Settings -> Apps & Notifications -> App info.
Tap the 3-dot menu in the top right corner and enable show system.
Look for com.lge.ims.rcsprovider in the list and tap it.
In the detailed overview for this app, hit the following three buttons in order: Clear cache, clear storage/data, and force stop. (Depending on the Android version on your phone, some of these three options may be found under storage information.)
You may have to repeat step 5 above multiple times for the problem to fix itself.
And the clear data/cache was under storage for me.

Just to save others some trouble, please note that this video, itself, just repeats the same non-working solutions that everyone else suggested, none of which work, including factory reset.
However, the comments *do* appear to have further useful discussions of this subject... so we now can be sure that this is an LG issue... hopefully we'll have a solution in a day or two...
Thank you again, @kcclark99, for finding and sharing this video with all of its comments!!

Just as a side note to this post: placing my phone in airplane mode did *not* prevent this message from repeatedly appearing... the only thing that worked was removing the sim card.

Same here. The only problem is that removing the sim card while doing the method that I found was pointless, as once I put the sim card back in, the problem came back. Though once O followed the method with the sim card in, it went away and has stayed away. For now, at least. I assume turning off the phone will reset whatever I did, and I may have to do it again.

Still no fix for this from T-Mobile or LG.

Well, this *sort of* works with mine... however, every time I reboot the phone, I have to go through this sequence again...
That is not entirely a desirable solution !!
Later note: okay, I didn't read the original post clearly enough... @Arthilios already noted this issue...
Oh well, I can probably live with that!!

Putting the phone in airplane mode renders the phone basically useless. As soon as you turn on Wifi while in airplane mode, the error message pops back up. Can't switch to AT&T either because the T-Mobile's V20 doesn't work on AT&T anymore since AT&T turn off 3G service back in Feb 2022 even though the V20 is VoLTE capable. Another solution is pull the sim card out and just use it like a phone with blacklisted IMEI. LG said they're working on it but I doubt they're gonna push out an update for this 7 year old phone. Maybe they can make an app to take care of this. I think it's time to throw in the towel on LG and get other brands.

I want a phone that I can swap in a charged battery. When I looked at what was available two years ago, I found the V20 was still the best available, IMO. Current phones with that ability were low end models.
