So, here's the thing:
My S5 mini is running the LOS 14.1 (from https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga.../g800f-m-y-lineageos-14-1-g800f-m-y-t3549055) and I have a weird issue with the mobile data connection. I don't know how to explain it but it's like if the mobile data were "on demand" mode. I start any application that requires data and the phone stays idle for a minute and then it connects.
The only workaround that I use is to switch off mobile data and then turn it on again. I though it was something with the ROM, so I flashed the official MM firmware and still encountered the issue.
Another thing I tried was to install an app that keeps the data connection active by sending pings to some IP.
I really don't know if this is something related to my carrier (I'm from Venezuela and using Movistar). Any ideas/comments are appreciated.
Best regards!

Used Odin to update to gingerbread from froyo on my i9000m the other day. Theres no service here at home unless I put the phone on the bathroom windowsill, so I didn't notice until today when I went to work that I wasn't getting any data network connection. Could make and receive calls fine, wifi works, but no data, so no browsing or facebook or any apps that require it. I called bell and they came to the conclusion that I have to send the phone in for repairs. Thats a absolute last resort, so I tried another factory reset, this time from the recovery menu. The first time, during set up I enabled wifi, this time on a hunch I did not, and it worked. Also note that the first time, the network connected for a split second before disconnecting again. Anyways, I was getting 3g fine, then I tried wifi, and it disconnected again. Turn off wifi, data comes back. Whats up with this?
Did you set your APN? Go
Settings > Wireless and Network > Mobile Network > APN Names
Then hit menu and add a new APN if none are there. If one is there, it's named something like 'browser' (at least that's what mine is called on my Bell i9000m) and I'm wrong. But I had this problem, and this is how I solved it. You can find the APN settings for your network by google-ing "[Provider] APN Settings]", and if you're on bell you can find them here:
http://support.bell.ca/en-on/Mobili..._Nexus_One_for_the_Bell_Mobility_HSPA_network
It says Nexus One but it works for all phones on bell.
settings are exactly as depicted on the bell site, except the apn was called browser instead of bell. changed that, same thing. other suggestions?
Can you tell me the version of gingerbread you're on, where you got the files, any mods to the firmware like pre rooting?
Sent from my GT-I9000M using XDA App
2.3.3, downloaded from here, no mods.
Alright, so totally stock. What's the version code? It should be UGKG3. Have you tried forcing a kies update with a registry hack? Was it one PDA when you flashed it or 3 files?
Sent from my GT-I9000M using XDA App
Yes, its UGKG3. I flashed with the PDA, PHONE and CSC files. I dont really know what you are talking about with regards to forcing a kies update, if you could explain I'd try it out
This has always happened to me, on Eclair, on Froyo, and now on Gingerbread. Whenever my Wifi is active *and* connected to a network, the Data through HSPA is automatically disconnected.
I always thought it was a battery saving feature - if you have Wifi access, and presumably internet access, then you don't need internet through the cell network, right?
So if you're not getting internet access when your wifi is active and connected, then perhaps it's a problem with your wifi router not passing external internet to your phone?
The thing is nothing changed besides the firmware. wifi worked fine here in the house before and no problems connecting to the data network on the go with wifi enabled. I'm really running out of ideas here.
I guess I misunderstood you before. Are you saying you have no data access at all when wifi is enabled, whether or not you are connected to a wifi network? If that is true, something is definitely wrong. That doesn't happen to me with KG3 - just checked.
Have you tried reflashing the modem file? Maybe it got messed up in your flash before?
Sent from my GT-I9000M using XDA App
yes, no data regardless of wifi connected or not, as long as its enabled.
which is the modem file?
just an update, this seems to have mysteriously fixed itself.
Hi.
Is there any way for our android device to automatically start using mobile data even if its connected to a WIFI network, like it does in Iphone and Blackberry.
There are times you go to a certain location and having used their wifi before, your phone automatically connects to it only to find out that no data is transmitting and you can sit there for hours not realizing your phone is disconnected from the internet whereby, in BB or iphone, the phone just switches over to mobile data and keeps you online.
Most apps available just toggle wifi on and off but none I've seen can keep WIFI connected and still use mobile data.
Any help will be appreciated
There is an option, that the phone only connects to wifi if there is a good connection (under wlan --> advanced )
Hope this helps.
Same problem (but inverse)
Hi everybody,
I'm facing the same problem, just inverse: when the phone "considers" the wifi signal "too weak", it automatically switches to mobile data (even if the latter are disabled), the result is the mobile frequently drop the connection in some places at home where the signal is a little less intense.
In my phone, the option mentioned by Marc199 doesn't exist (or isn't displayed)...
What can I do?
Is there a way to access "hidden" settings like the one mentioned?
Thanks for your answers!

Well, you can always use the quick settings to turn off the mobile data.

Well, there might be a chance that HTC removed (or never implemented) this feature. I'm using a GPE ROM.
If you mean the developer options, they won't be any use to you.
BestSignal Wifi-->Mobile Data App
I just installed BESTSIGNAL on my **HTC ONE M7**from the developer of the same name (BestSignal).
It's the paid version but only AUD1.99 and it works well, simple yet highly functional GUI. However it was not compatible on my Google Nexus 7 (2012) nor my ASUS Transformer TF700T so be sure to check your device compatibility.
As a XDA newbie I'm not allowed to include active HTML links so the App URL extension is: details?id=com.eightythirty.bestsignal and the Dev's is: developer?id=BestSignal
Hello,
Recently something happen to my mobile data connection. I got full signals bar H/H+ next to it but when try to use anything that need data connection, I got message cannot connect.
The data sending arrow shows but not receiving one. Usually turning off and on mobile data fixes that issue but not for long. At first I tough that is stamina related but it can happen even during browsing/facebooking so not sleep mode related.
No problem with receiving/ sending texts or calls, seems only data related. And no such problem over WI-FI, it maintain to stay connected all the time.
I recreated firmware using PC companion but nothing. I tried my sim card on other phone to find out if network problem but no such issue.
I have used generic .157 software after root without unlocking bootloader.
I got that phone for about a year without any problems, unfortunatelly bought second hand and no chance to send to warranty
Maybe anyone has some ideas to try.
Thanks
Do you use any apps for blocking ads?
I had porblems with most sites including google and its apps not getting connection. I finally figured out that it was the ad blocker i used and that i had to upgrade my hosts files again (even if there was no new update) in order to get connections working again. hope that helps

No I do not use any ads blocking apps. It occurs on fresh install, unrooted as well. Today suddenly stops playing spotify music and said connection error but for signal bars and H+ ;(
only thing i can think of is if you maybe have you data settings corrupted. That would cause your connection to not work. Does the internet work on some things but not others? And can you connect to internet with WiFi enabled?
HI guys, so i have this G4-H811 that is running the official t-mobile Android 6.0 2016-06-01 build. The problem is that after every few minutes the phone automatically turns on the data. Im being charged again and again for this. In 5.0 this was caused by an app called come.tmobile.pr.adapt. After updating to 6.0 this app no longer exists but still the problem persists. I have manually checked all apps in the App section in settings all of them say No Data Used under Data. As far as i can tell all apps are using Wifi. I have unchecked Switch to mobile data under Advanced Wifi Settings. But still after every few minutes my carrier tells me that the device connects to the LTE service. This is burning through my plan so any of u have any suggestions?
Hello,
first of all, my English isn't that good, but I hope you understand it well enough.
I own a OnePlus 3T and want to run wlan and mobile data at the same time,
but every time when the OP3T connect to a wlan the mobile data stops working.
I know there is a developer option for wlan and mobile data, but it didn't work for me.
Nothing changes. Even with a reboot, the mobile data still automatically switched off as soon as a wlan connection is established.
Why I need both running on the same time:
I've got an OBD Dongle for realtime information from my car (because my car dies slowly and I want to know what is going on with this "lovely piece of something")
My OP3T connects via wlan with the device, which means that mobile data is automatically deactivated, which also means that I have no connection to the internet.
Has anyone of you a solution for me?
I must confess, that problem is quite depressing for me.
If you can't understand what i'm saying or have trouble to understand, then just tell me and I try to rewrite my problem (somehow i guess)
Sometimes mobile data is used when wifi doesn't have connection to internet.

Yeah, I know. That is what it does.
But I need wifi and mobile data simultaneously.
