[Q] Mobile Network Settings screen keeps on appearing - why? - Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

For some reason the Mobile Network Settings page appears, generally after a phone call or directly after swiping up on the lock screen. I have no idea why this happens and its driving me nuts. It happens about 3 in 10 times I unlock the phone or make a call.
I have the standard ROM from Sony and haven't really messed on with anything seriously technical. Happens with Go Launcher, too, if this helps?
Any advice would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Russell

Is it the apn settings??
Do you have a screenshot?

I have attached a screen shot but there's nothing special, just brings up the standard network settings image. Also, not sure what apn settings are - certainly I haven't changed them. A bit of scouting about and it looks like its just the standard Vodafone listing in there. Bog standard.
Its really annoying as this is the only thing (well apart from Chrome is choppy and viewing text in a browser doesn't resize like on my old Desire HD...) that I can find wrong with the phone.

<--(wtf)Why arent there any mobile network toggles?

i just started using launcherpro cause its super bad ass. but there seems to be no way to get a switch to turn mobile data on and off. i turn it on and off a lot and its a pain to keep switching it thru the menu. theres no downloads and no way to make one please someone save me before i kill myself and punch my girlfriend and ***** slap my dog ill do all three in reverse order
"you want to try getting physical with me?" -airheads.
but really, i assume you are on a sprint leak rom, and are used to the sense widgets. i feel your pain. i use an app called juicedefender (when i'm on a sprint rom) and it has a widget called APN off or something like that. the app its self is badass but that widget is... superbadass. check it out it maybe exactly what you've been looking for.
Have you long press on the screen and set it up that way? Choose widgets, go to settings and select mobile networks.

Since it appears you're not running Sense, you should have a widget called Power Controls that should do it for you.

Power Control only turns of sync (Google, Facebook, etc) but does not turn network completely off.

You're right - thought it did but it don't. It turns off WiFi, GPS and BT but not network ... I don't use it.
Ya might try Quick Settings from the Market, which is what I do use ...

Is it only on sense that long pressing the end call button brings up a menu to power off the phone, and somewhere in that menu is mobile data on/off, or is it just not something you want to be bothered with?

I'm on an ASOP rom, and long pressing the end call button gives me the mobile network on/off.

[REQ] App to only enable 3g when needed

So I've been testing stuff out and I notice that when I have 3g turned off I get like twice the battery life. Is there an app anyone knows of that keeps 3g off unless specifically using data without having to manually use a 3g/2g toggle?
Nexus S - cm7
tasker would do it, its not free but its really worth the money
Sent from my Nexus S using Tapatalk
Would tasker do it without root on stock?
Every app I tried since 2.3.x... none seem to be able to disable your mobile data connection.
Thanks.

Looking for a app similar to the one in cm7 that can toggle 2g on and off. Haven't found anything like it yet
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
I've notice there's an option for "Use only 2G networks". Was wondering if it's possible to make, or if there already excist a widget/switch to quickly switch it on and off.
i use this:

Widgetsoid is awesome, but it still only throws you into "Network settings" menu, not toggling the "Use only 2G networks" button.
Is it even possible tho? On my older phones (Desire, Desire Z) I remember it was impossible to do a button to instantly toggle between 2G and 3G.
Control Bar?

That's our best bet for now. On the g2 you could toggle.

Try xda superpower. Maybe not exactly what you're looking for but it is useful. You can set it to disable data when the screen is off, set exemptions for specific apps, and a whole bunch of other options. Its free so you might want to give it a try.

pm me if u need help with setting it up before 2.3.3 it didnt work to automatically enable data. u had to toggle it on and off. but now it works like a charm and best thing (well not best thing on tasker but best for what u wanna use it for) u can disable data completely and still recieve mms.
and btw tasker can save u lot of battery if u set it up to ur usage
edit: forgot to tell u:
search tasker on the market and go on developpers site. there shoild be a 7 days tryal version

Voicemail

My voicemail icon always stays on my notification bar anyone else have this problem? It has nothing to do with root or section mine has always done this

Vm irritates me, I don't have mine set up on purpose. My mom drones on and on and on and... Have you tried an app killer to remove it? You don't have a VM hiding somewhere in there? Can you call customer service, would they be able to tell you if you have a vm hiding in there. My VM icon stays on on my USC work phone. I ignore it. I am sure that is a good fix until I actually get one about the shop being broken into, or on fire.
I would imagine, that customer service should be able to "reset" the system for you, it may just be a glitch.
If you have tried all these ideas, then I have no clue. Maybe Mtmichaelson can make it invisible. It'll still be there, but at least it wouldn't bug you, wouldn't want your story to end up like Poe's "The Telltale Heart"
Visual voicemail or standard (is there a diff?) On my d2 and my dad's dx, if you didn't exit with the star key it would stay on no matter what... could have just been a MOTO thing, worth a shot (unless you already do that... )

I think you're the only one. I might try going into settings, applications, manage applications, find the voicemail app and clear data ...maybe do a force stop.

Ive had the same problem before. I deleted all my VM and the icon would never disappear. Its an annoyance more than anything.
No I haven't figured it out but I don't want to just have it hidden because of work and I actually get voicemails all the time one other thing with that is it always shows 1 new message even if there are more than one

what we know.... and have figured out

Lets use this thread for listing working hacks and tricks for our focus s i937..... anything that you figure out please post..... lets show high interest.. and get involved!!!!
When i first got my focus s "insurance replacement for the focus i917" i had alot of data and mms issues.... anyone with these problems dont bother trying to fix it your self bring to att store and tell them.... att store told me its all a coding issue with 4g and fixxed it in 2 minutes and all is well now.... anyone who has unlocked and using there phone on a different network... this is your problem have the carrier fix it for you... the phones data and mms will not work on your old 3g data plan....
debranding and interop unlocking made my phone better.... i upgraded to 8107 and have had no issues at all.... i did have a few weird things going on before the upgrade weird lockscreen behavior, keyboard issues and laggy homescreen while scrolling all of witch are completely gone now after upgrade... wp7 root tools works for registry viewing and editing..... havent been able to get accent changer to work though but i am able to edit accent colors through the registry ''kind of alot of work'' hopeing to get accent changer working very soon.... also after 8107 update my battery life has improved alot!!!! by at least a 3rd and that is no exageration
I don't know any

Hi
Many thanks for this all done. When phone reboots I still get the AT&T splash screen and in "About" carrier still shows up as AT&T Wireless, is this normal?
Sent from my SGH-i937 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
If you're referring to me then yeah that's just your splash screen image, after debranding it throw it on zune.
Yes I am, I really appreciate your input on all this, I've been searching for a de-branding solution for an age
One question though, if you go into "Settings" and "About" does your de-branded phone still show "AT&T Wireless" ad the "Carrier"? Mine still does

4.2 known bugs

I thought it would be nice for both users and developers what to expect from next update to fix or be fixed. I'm gonna give a kick start to known bugs, so that we can be aware of the faults of 4.2. Don't shoot the things you didn't like here since it is nothing to do with this "bug" thread. Here I go..
1. I keep telling myself this should not be a bug since it is so obvious but there is no reason for it to be implemented that way. Which is the hour segment of lock screen time being bold and the other half is normal font.. Maybe there is a reason for this hopefully..
2. Pull down the notification bar from top, when it is down, pull down from the top most again. Notification center will continue going down and out of the screen. It applies for both quick settings and notification center.. Major bug! - 1 to googles test engineers.
Now you can add your own test cases and bugs and maybe we have great devs to sort them out and develop great custom roms..
I don't think either is a bug ,more or less design desicions. I actually like both things you mentioned

neither are bugs
last one you mentioned stops extending menus down the way when dpi is changed

I can understand the first one but you clearly didn't understand the second. This is a major bug because a layout goes out of screen. They seem to not lock pulling down from the top most of the screen when it is already pulled down.. Result; notification center goes out of the screen..

If you fling it down it stops ,then you can pull it all the way down or just fling it back up.trust me they designed it that way ,it's not a bug.

This is probably a feature Not really a bug..
But on the lock screen .. Long tap the clock quickly.. you will see a big square highlight the unlock button Slide to unlock . This will take you to a STOP WATCH TYPE INTERFACE..
I Was hoping there would be a way in there to change the stupid bold hour number . That is gross to look at ..
Just to try it i Created a 3rd user..From the lock screen then you log into that user account to set it up. When it gets the point it ask for user Name SU Pops up asking to grant permission .. then give a message ..
SuperSU has granted superuser permission :/system/bin/id
tried 3 times .. if you let it set on that screen you will get Supersu isnt responding .. You click ok then it will allow you to continue setting up the account.
The second account set up fine.. Just thought i would try a 3rd and look at directory structure..
Can someone try and see if its just me with the issue. It finally created the account. with a reboot. but its unstable .Thanks Erica
Youtube is borked with stereo (a2dp) bluetooth headsets - sync issues, laggy, scratchy. They have clearly done some changes to bluetooth audio (you can hear the bluetooth headset mute/come alive when there is a moment or two of no sound).
Can't log into gmail with another account in chrome.
I used to log into another account in chrome that I haven't bothered linking. I went to gmail in chrome (not requesting desktop version) and I was already logged into my primary account. It's never done that before. I thought no big deal and signed out. Now gmail continually loops on the address constantly refreshing but the site never actually comes up.
And not a bug, but I'm annoyed Nexus 7 didn't get miracast. Can't imagine the reason for that. And the what's new page isn't clear that it is only nexus 4. http://www.android.com/whatsnew/
Yes it does say "Share what’s on your phone on the big screen." but the rest of the text and the page makes it seem like these are 4.2 features and not exclusive to N4. I'm hoping custom roms will enable miracast.
Also, not a bug but a feature lost, the camera no longer has the funny faces (big nose, small eyes etc). ya I know a dorky feature but I don't see why it was removed. I know the nexus 7 didn't have the camera enabled by default but we have the new camera app so I assume other devices lost those as well.

I'm getting an issue when tethering via Bluetooth. This morning it was working fine, the update came down while I was tethered to my phone, after the install I can pair to my phone but it won't connect.
I've tried deleting the pairing on both, re-pairing, rebooting... Anyone else having a problem? Anyone else doing Bluetooth tethering?
edit: never mind, I worked it out, I had to go in and select that I wanted to use the "Internet Access" profile
