Hi,
I have a stock AT&T Galaxy Note 3 running Android 4.3. Starting November 30, I noticed that my data connection drops randomly. One second it will be active and working and another the 4G LTE logo will disappear from next to the signal bars. When this happens I have to go into settings > more networks > mobile networks, and the Mobile data box will be unchecked. I then recheck it and can use mobile data again. Sometimes the mobile data will disconnect immediately after checking the box, and sometimes it will stay on for a few hours. But it always disconnects.
I had juice defender installed but I uninstalled it hoping it would fix the problem but it didn't.
I have reset my APN Settings to default. Here is my Version information:
AP: N900AUCUBMJ5
CU: N900AUCUBMJ5
CSC: N900ATTBMJ5
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer!
I'm running on lollipop 5.1.1 but I do not think it is related to the version of the OS.
If I look at data usage I can switch to the current or the previous cycle but I cannot do any other changes to the start date and/or end data of the data usage cycle dates.
Is this the way it should be ?
Is it the operator who sets those dates based on your subscription (monthly renewal date) ?
So, I knew updating to Marshmallow 6.0.1 would do this, and, I was purposely holding off until I could find an answer on how to restore the Data Toggle option.
But, AT&T and or Samsung are trying to be like M$, and low and behold, they ninja-updated my phone without my explicit agreement........
SO..... Now I'm stuck with this crap situation of not having a Data Toggle option.
Anyways, Now I noticed the following behavior:
When I have WIFI on, I then turn it off.
Doing this should automatically kick in my mobile provider data service.
Yet, it takes forever to kick in. Up to 10minutes!
There's like not way to force it to be enabled instantly once I disable WIFI.
I reset my network settings and still has the same issue.
It seems for some reason the phone just doesn't want to immediately initiate attempting to connect to my mobile network after I disable WIFI.
Anyone else notice this? and or can provide some pointers to get that data toggle back?
Just an additional note:
Anyways, there isn't any pattern I can find that determines why the phone won't try to initiate the mobile network immediately after WIFI is turned off.
This doesn't ALWAYS happen.
(I do know it never was an issue when I had the Data Toggle option prior to the Marshmallow update)
Well, At this point, I've tried this a few times and it works. If the Mobile Network doesn't kick in:
Go to Settings > Connections > Mobile Networks > Access Point Names (( Then choose your access point (Which is your APN to the mobile carrier) (Yes, it is already selected, but choose it anyways) ))
Once I do that and back out of the settings the mobile network kicks in.
*hands in the air on this*..

Factory reset, install Samsung good lock. Problems solved.
Sucks that the mobile data toggle switch doesnt work, this is the best alternative I've found. Bonus is that stupid warning about turning data off doesn't pop up anymore with the good lock
Why do you have to do the factory reset?

I am unable to find Good Lock on Galaxy store! :\
I pulled down the Good Lock apk from the apk mirror site, but, the data toggle STILL didn't work.
At least half the time, I have to to this in order to get the Mobile Data reconnected..:
Go to Settings > Connections > Mobile Networks > Access Point Names (( Then choose your access point (Which is your APN to the mobile carrier) (Yes, it is already selected, but choose it anyways) ))
This is extremely annoying. Can anyone else verify?

Simple, go to the USAGE MANAGER app, there is data toggle switch in it.

OK...... Figured this out.
Firstly, I had Multiple APN set up on the phone. I don't know why, but they ended up being there.
However, I only had selected the proper APN out of all of those for the Mobile Data.
The phone at this point didn't care if it was selected, and when switching off my WIFI, the Mobile Data wouldn't come on, and I had to do the following:
Go to Settings > Connections > Mobile Networks > Access Point Names > Choose THE ALREADY CHOSE proper APN and exit out of settings
After this, the Mobile Data would come on...
SO WHAT I DID:
I removed all APNs that were defined in the 'Access Point Names' section, keeping only ONE APN (The proper one).
After this, the phone would switch on Mobile Data automatically.
SO.... In Conclusion, it looks like this build won't switch to the Mobile Data of a selected APN if multiple APNs are defined in the 'Access Point Names' section...

I've found thru the years that when upgrading to major OS changes, factory resetting helps prevent a plethora of issues. I've rarely ever had any issues with updates across all OS systems (Windows, MacOSX, BlackBerry, Android) because I factory reset. I wouldn't be able to tell you how many posts I've seen across all OSs where a factory reset fixed the problems. To prevent the hassle and headache, I just factory reset. Backing up my messages/phone logs is really the only thing I have to do; all my pictures are automatically backed up to Google Photos and my WD MyCloud, everything else syncs/connects/updates in the cloud (GDrive, GNotes, GMail, etc...) so as soon as I login I'm back to 95%. Downloaded SMS Backup and Restore (Play Store) and my messages/phone logs were restored in a couple min. Setup the APN for mobile data and I'm back to 100%. From there it's just setting up Nova, changing the factory theme, and reorganizing my icons into folders.
RESTRICT DATA USAGE does not hold on non-rooted stock Redmi Note 10 Pro / Global Miui 12.5.6.
So I go to Restrict Data Usage for a particular app, and uncheck Mobile Data, and hit OK. Few days later I find the Restrict Mobile Data reset itself and shows a checkmark again. This only happens to Mobile Data, never to disabled Wifi. Happens to stock apps, Miui apps, google apps, and consumer apps, but never all at once, only few at a time reset themselves.
Why is this happening?
Hello everyone! I have less than 1 month the redmi note 10 pro. and my problem is that being at home with wifi and connected data consumes a lot of data. I've already checked that in developer settings I don't have "data always on" active. According to the seller, it says that I have to uncheck the "wifi assistance" box.
Within wifi assistance I have unchecked "traffic mode"
Even so, it continues to consume data with wifi.
I suppose that either the wifi is unstable or with this rom it does not get the wifi well and switches to data.
My question is in what menu can I prevent it from pulling data (without deducting data) because I can't find it.

Thank you

In my opinion the MIUI hidden tracking.... is responsible for data traffic.
Try to unbloat or deactivate . Google unbloat xiaomi
The issue is that in wifi/wifi assistant, I don't get the option "automatically connect to the best wifi" to be able to disable it.
I've done a factory reset and updated again and it's still consuming data.
Do you get the option "automatically connect to the best Wi-Fi"?
Thanks in advance.
