[Q] Mobile data notification constantly on top of the stack - Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello guys,
i've been following your forum for quite some time and it's been helpful for me so far, but two or three days ago i came across a problem, which i cannot solve and didn't find anything about it here or on the web, so i decided to register.
I'm a owner of Xperia Z, Android 4.1.2, 10.1.A.1.350, not rooted. Couple of days ago there were some updates available, some not important app like Xperialink or something, and since that day the "mobile data tuned off" notification keeps popping up on top of the stack in the notification bar and it is freaking annoying. Usually on top i had an email with part of it that i could already see, or a missed call with the icons "call back" and "send a message" what was really usefull, but now, because of this data transfer notification, nothing like this is showing (check the attached screenshot). The "clear" option does not work for this notifaction, neither can it be swiped away. Has anyone else stumbled upon this problem and maybe solved it?
Thanks for your time and any useful advices in advance
Szymon

Dang, really no one? :|

maybe you should click 4th icon from left side and it might be gone ^^

I don't speak Polish, but if I'm not mistaken the message says "Mobile data disabled".
This could be because you've switched off mobile data manually from the quick settings, or because in Power management settings you have "Low battery mode" enabled and one of the options it to turn mobile data off. Turn off Low battery mode or uncheck "Mobile data off" and you should be sorted.

Yes Sushifiend, didn't know yesterday how it was called in english. I've checked what you wrote and it wasn't that, anyways i got low battery mode set to kick in when there is only 5% battery power left, so this couldn't be it. :|
Thanks for trying to help, but yesterday i even did a "back to factory settings" and after that and installing all the updates this problem returned...
Any other ideas or maybe someone else had this and managed to fix it?

I have had a similar issue, and wasn't related to any power save options ticked, but connection drop outs on my phone. It hasn't happened now for a while when I manually went in and selected my operator and re downloaded the internet/mms configuration. Although this phones radio is a bit flakey with drop outs still

Tilt very very unresponsive today.

Its not letting me receive any calls. Because by the time I press "Accept" it becomes unresponsive for like a couple of mins and the call has already ended.
Its taking forever to load any apps too. It takes forever to open the Programs folder or the Settings folder. Everything takes like a min on the phone now.
I don't know what has caused this. It was working fine yesterday. I haven't installed any new apps either.
I have the HTC stock ROM downloaded from this website. I've had it installed for a few months now without a problem.
Can someone please help me in understanding whats causing this?
I've restarted the phone a few times now. The boot time is around 15 mins for some reason. It stays at the Window Mobile 6 screen for 15 mins before starting up.
Hard reset anyone?
Is that the only solution?
I'm sick of this and slowing turning anti-windows.
Some times things need to be refreshed. Don't be scared, it will be ok.

Somebody please explain to us that this slowness/unresponsiveness is unique for the TYTN II?! Should I expect the same from a HTC Touch or a Samsung?

Have you, by chance, been experimenting with network folders? I saw something similar with the file explorer, after I had connected to a network drive at home. It was trying to reconnect while I was away from the home network.
You should expect it from any electronic device like this. Maybe not 100% of the time and not 100% of them, but things like this do happen. There are too many things trying to live in harmony and not step on each others feet for there to never be a problem.
Do a hard reset and see what happens. If it doesn't solve your problem then it's time to look into a warranty claim. If you can use the phone, just backup your numbers and then reset. It's really easy and doesn't take much time to get things back to normal.

I didn't touch any of the system folders. In fact, nothing was done to the phone since yesterday except send/receive phone calls and play Solitaire.
If you don't reset it then don't complain.

I've done this (hard reset) before and I have every right to complain. Not trying to be a troll, but sometimes I feel I should've bought an iP***e instead.
Right now I'm trying to take a backup of my files on the Storage card, but Total Commander is unresponsive (trying to copy 5 files for the past 30 mins).
I know I'll eventually hard reset this thing, but I'm just pissed right now.
So you don't think people have to hard reset their iphones? I laugh in your general direction.
If you can't make or receive calls, send or receive text messages, or access email or the web
Check the cell signal indicator in the status bar at the top of the screen. If there are no bars, or if it says "No service," try moving to a different location. If you're indoors, try going outdoors or moving closer to a window.
Check to make sure you’re in an area with network coverage. Go to your carrier's website to see network coverage areas.
Make sure airplane mode isn't on. From the Home screen choose Settings, then turn Airplane Mode off.
If that doesn't work, turn airplane mode on, wait 15 seconds, then turn airplane mode off again.
Make sure to include an area code for every phone number in your contacts list that you use to send or receive text messages.
If that doesn't work, turn iPhone off and turn it on again. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button on top of iPhone for a few seconds until a red slider appears, then slide the slider. Then press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Note: If you enter the SIM PIN incorrectly three times, you may need to contact your carrier for a Personal Unlocking Key (PUK) to enable your SIM card again.
If that doesn't work, there may be an issue with your wireless service. Call your carrier or go to your carrier's website.
If that doesn't work, restore the iPhone software. See this document or see "Updating and Restoring iPhone Software" in the iPhone User's Guide.

Come on now. You know what I meant. I wasn't trying to imply that at all. I was just venting. Sorry if it offended anyone.
is it possible that its just having trouble reading the sd card (if you have one?) maybe the file system is becoming corrupt on the card and its constantly trying to read it?..

I thought about this. I tried using the phone without the SD card. But the behavious was the same. Currently I'm hard resetting it
So how did it go?
Just finished hard resetting it. The phone works now. Fortunately I had an export of my contacts in an XML file (using a .NET utility that I wrote.) Unfortunately, I haven't written the import part of the utility yet
The phone works, but my docs and pics are gone. The SD card works fine. Thanks for your help guys.
Outlook works nice for backing up contacts and there is also a program you run from your phone that does the same thing. I think it's PIM backup
use cleartemp from now on to clear unneeded items on every start up
it is pim back up
its the BEST

More junk to cause this sort of problem.

Can no longer mount as disk. Doesn't even present the option...

I'm on Fresh Toast 2.1 (official eclair w/ fresh customizations)
When I plug in a USB cable to my phone from any computer, from any OS (OS X 10.5, 10.6 and Win XP/7) I don't get offered the option to mount as a drive.
I looked in the 'Connect to PC' settings and tried it with 'Ask Me' both checked and unchecked. I also tried to make Disk Drive mode the default and that didn't help either. The only way I can mount it the SD as a drive is by rebooting to Recovery and toggling MS.
What a pain! Any ideas?
Are you using the app. Autostarts? I had that exact same problem until I realized that I disabled PC Synchronization (using Autostarts) from starting up when the phone boots. Once I re-enabled it again it worked just fine.
check on the top left of the status bar, if you can see a triangle with charge only, then slide down the status bar and press on charge only... let us know if this works. Also make sure that debug is off, menu> settings> applications> Development
Yeah, I'll bet what you did, dude, is set it to "Always use this option" when you plugged it in one time, maybe on purpose, maybe on accident, but who cares, that's probably what it is. Is that option even existing on certain roms? I just checked, mine doesnt say that. Worth a shot lol.

Crap, I think you're right! Trying this now; i disabled everything. Will report back with results.
UPDATE: Nope, that wasn't it. PC Synchronization isn't even an option for me to enable/disable.

Not the issue here. I'm not a noob.
But why disable debugging? I've always been able to do both simultaneously without issue. Until Fresh Toast 2.1, that is.

Negative.
Is it possible that it is recognizing it as a charger instead of a computer? Have you tried other cables and/or computers?

Oh weird. The PC Synchronization shows up in the section called After Startup for me. Hope you get it figured out.

Samsung galaxy S Clock Time delay

Hi Everyone!
I have a Samsung Galaxy S GT I9000 with Froyo 2.2 and I noticed that the Clock Time is always becoming late.
((I also noticed that this only happens when the Phone is running on battery)NOT TRUE). I did a factory reset, installed different clocks widgets, but the phone clock is always delaying. I have no idea why this is happening!
Any suggestions?
First step is back up data and factory reset .

Done!!! Still the same!!!
Go to menu\settings\time & date & check that "Automatic network values" is checked. If it is then its possible that your provider is sending the wrong time info.

I've found the same with Voda Ireland, I unchecked auto values and installed "ClockSync"

Did the same, but this way you have to be always connected to the internet, and it doesn't fix the problem. It is just a way to bypass this problem. (thanks anyway)
What I was able to find, using the Clock Sync, is that the Phone as an average time drift of -3760,654, more than an hour per day. But the reason why this is happening it's completely unknown for me.
Oh, and BTW, I said above this deviation only occurs when the Phone is running on the battery, but that is not true!!!
Very odd, mine would only go out by an hour if I left it on auto, you can set a different interval time and select wifi only, but it works fine over 2g, I can't see it pulling much data if you're worried about that.
Mine goes out by about 0.3 of a second a day, which is quite negligible

That doesn't worry me that much, but I was really interested in knowing why this happens and get a proper resolution.
Could it be related to the ROM installed on the Phone?
Changed the ROM to GingerBread 2.3.3 so far it works like a charm!!
Mine 2.3.3 but still having this issue.. how to solve???
Hi. Just wondering if anyone has gotten around to a solution to the problem. I have been resetting my phone's time every day as it gets delayed more and more as the day goes. I reset it, after a few hours it will be 2 mins delayed (against my laptop's time), by the end of the day, it would already be 5-7 mins late. I didn't notice it before until I realised that my phone's already a day late!
I've tried the above suggestions, but I still have the same problem. Kindly help me out of this one. Thank you.

Watch looses connection and shows factory reset notification

So the title already says most of my problem, today while I was working I noticed that my G Watch R had lost connection to my phone. Nothing to spectacular as this happens not too rarely. But this time it actually showed a notification that said "Network connection lost. Factory reset required" if I would swipe to the left the watch would show a button which said factory reset on it but would do nothing. And no matter what I did I wasn't able to establish the connection anymore until I did a factory reset right now.
Btw: I just updated my watch to the latest build yesterday.
Has anyone experienced the same thing or knows where this comes from?
Yes, thank you LG

Maybe something to do with the Wifi Cloud Sync ? happen for me after I set sync ON and after set to OFF ....
Yup that's the same notification that I got. Only that mine was german and the background was black ^^
This could be possible because that's what I did aswell. I turned it on, noticed I don't need it and turned it off again. And now this has happened.

Wi-Fi stuck on turning on

Hi guys!
I am having issues with the WLAN on my HTC One m7..
It's stuck on turning on.
Can't turn it off, can't turn it on.. Can't bypass it by using airplane mode or anything like that. I am running a custom rom called soul by xiaoxiang, it's a Chinese rom that I can barely understand since I'm Dutch..
The rom ofcourse has built-in kernel mods.
I used TWRP -> Advanced -> File Manager -> data/misc/wifi to delete the wpa_supplicant.conf and files like that, have tried deleting some other files, nothing seems to fix it.. It's just stuck on the part where it's 'loading', in the quickmenu it looks like it's just turning on, except for the fact it's stuck.. When I tap the 3 dots below WLAN in the quickmenu, it says it's off in the top, and I can go to the 3 dots and only tap Advanced, the others are just greyed out..
When I go to the Settings menu, it says Airplane-mode Off, Wi-Fi Error, Bluetooth Off, etc. So it doesn't say it's either on or off, it just says Error. I can tap the 'switch' of the Wi-Fi on the right in the Settings menu, but it will just become greyed out when I tap it..
Any help? I'm trying to avoid a factory reset because when it still won't work then I will have lost all my apps and data and need to use mobile data to download it again which will cost me a lot of money..
Can't send it back, warranty overdue.
Related topics without fix (I've searched for a long time before deciding to post it here, there are some people especially with rooted/custom rom htc one m7's who have a similar problem but there is no fix):
