Hi,
i've a problem with 3g/2g mobile data connectivity: if i use a data connection switching utility, like APN on/off, Widgetsoid, Toggle Data, etc., when i switch off data connection, the small 3g icon on notification bar is visible, and i can switch on data connetion again, without problem.
But switching off data connection and let phone to go to stand-by (sleep), after a few minutes, the 3g icon disappears from notification bar, and from that point, i'm unable to switch on data connection with the switching utility anymore. The only solution is to switch Airplane Mode on and off.
On my previous phone (Samsung SGS) i haven't experienced such bug. Do you have any idea regarding this?
I've already tried more ROMs (BlazeDragon, Modaco FR19, Modaco leaked GB) and many basebands (218, 502, 622), but the issue has happend everytime.
Thanks and regards:

After reboot, the cellular data doesn't work (no status icon, no traffic), until Wifi has been switched on. Wifi can be switched off immediately, even before it connects, and then data will work fine until reboot.
Is this a bad combination of data settings sowhere on my Cyanogen 6.0.0-N1 device?
Or is it a bug?
thanks
Hi,
I am currently on XXJVT modem.
I see that data mode 2g is active and all of a sudden i see that
that Edge icon is missing from the status bar and my data mode is deactivated.
I don't get back my data connection unless i restart the phone. I will not be able to access internet until I reboot my phone.
Is there any patch or settings i need to tweak?
I am again facing this problem. All of a sudden, my GPRS/EDGE connection disconnects and does not get re-enabled until I reboot. Is there some kind of work around for this?
Is there an app that can not only switch off my data but also switch to 2G while i am connected to wifi or my screen is turned off (i have better 2g signal in my area)?
the ideal app should be able to switch between these settings
screen off
2G, data on at xx min intervals (for sync,similar to 2x battery), no wifi.
screen on but locked : as above
screen on unlocked
search wifi - if available connect and keep 2G. If not available, switch wifi off, turn on 3G+data.
Well... yes:

But you need a modified rom for that. Either you modify it yoursef (see thread) or use a pre-modified one. Some people say, it's quite good, some say it makes the phone a bit instable.
I used it myself with a gueste ROM and was satified with the funktions. It really worked. But I had some problems with wifi then. Well, you could give it a try.
Cheers
Thanks for the thread.
At first glance the CM6 people seem to have problems. I am running CM7 temasek KANG 204-20 with vadonka's kernel. I'll download the zip and try it via CWM. Will report back
i think the mobile network settings get ignored when wifi is enabled, whe i have it disabled and use 2g only i always have max connection but when wifi is enabled or 3g network i have very low connection when it changes to 3g wcdma...
i searched for an app to display the status of whe network and tried hidden menu but it seema its not getting updates while wifi is enabled:/
anyone experiencing similar behaviors?
Sent from my Optimus 2X using XDA App
so. after some hours testing i can say that it works for me. i use it in conjunction with battery 2x.
when my screen is off toggle2g switches to 2G network and 2x battery enables data every 15min for sync.
when the screen is on battery 2x re-enables data but it remains in 2g network thanks to toggle2g (i have selected the option to manually re-enable 3g)
when i turn my wifi on toggle2g switches to 2g network (although it takes some time.. like 10-15s)
so.. these 2 apps seem to do the trick for me. Lost 9% over the night (still don't know if it's good or bad) and used to lose about 20%.
Whether in sleep or awake mode the phone will lose the 2G data connection. Network signal is full strength. If I disable mobile data and enable, connection is restored. But after about 10-15 mins same issue happens.
I have tried all sorts of ROMs now. Huexxx, CICI, CM10, CM7...Seems like a hardware or network problem.
Customer service keeps saying to use the APN settings properly and are of no avail.
Any other ideas..??
Thanks.
Have you try using another sim card from another operator?
I have this strange issue that has been with me almost since the beginning. I haven't been able to trace when it happens, but it now seems almost 100% of the time.
I only have WiFi in the house (wifi6, if it matters). If I go out, I only have 4G (I left only 4G and disabled 5G). I have no data until I put the phone into airplane mode and back, or I disable and re-enable mobile data.
Same thing when I go back in the house: no data until I disable and re-enable WiFi.
I've disabled the option for 'always-on mobile data' or similar, it's quite a battery drain if there's no cell signal.
Seems like a very strange bug, I don't have this with any of my other phones.
So you have both WiFi and 4G enabled and they don't switch seamlessly?
Exactly. I always have to restart each one of them, usually by toggling airplane mode. Was wondering if anyone else ran into this issue.
Ok this really is strange. There are 2(!) different toggles to enable data switching between WiFi and 4G, but for me it works flawlessly without them! As soon as I get out of my home WiFi range, 4G kicks in, and when I get in range again, the phone connects to my WiFi...
Hi, i have this problem too but it's not always.
I have a wifi 6 router too.
I also have problems switching from wifi to 4g. Need to toggle airplane mode on/off. 5g deactivated. No wifi 6 here.
I always assumed my vpn is causing problems during the switch to 4g. But hearing others have the same problem i would assume its zenfone problem.
I never had any issues in this area with my ZF8. With the option to have cellular always on I could walk out of my WiFi zone during a video call and no drop or short pause would appear.
With this off the network need a few second to work, and some apps need to be refreshed/restarted to gain connection. Never needed to toggle connection for this to work.
Maybe a reset would be enough or check for updates.
Ah, exactly! It does not necesarily need a network restart, but some apps just lose connection for a while, which can be from a few seconds to >1h. Which is even more weird as the icons are showing full connectivity. I would go out of the house, do stuff, come back later and I would only get the notifications when I'm back inside the house.
Rarely I had the connection drop completely (no signal) when switching, but I haven't noticed this happening since the last update.
