I wanted to know fro you all out there if the was a way that the 3G will come on when it is needed and then turns it self off after it is done? Is there a setting or and app that i can use? I hate having to turn it on and off when i want to use it. Help me please i am kind of new to android but i am loving it so far. And always thanks for your help.
Ok I guess I am going to be the nice guy here.
To stop apps from constantly pulling data:
On the home screen, go to: Menu > Settings > Wireless Settings > Mobile Network > Uncheck Always on mobile. Than accept the dialogue that pops up that tells you some apps will be angry.
Now if you want to toggle if apps can use data, put the mobile network widget on your home screen. Click it on to allow, click it and keep if off now to not allow data pull.
Hope this is what you are looking for.

Hi guys,
I was wondering if anyone know's of an easy way/app to turn off data usage on my hero please? I'm off abroad for a few days and have been told by Orange i will be charged £6 per 1megbyte!! Don't really wanna get involved in that to be fair...i have been through and disabled various option's i could find but wondered if there was a more full proof method?

I would assume this would work
setting/wireless control/ unclick mobile network
indeed it would but if i want to use the mobile for phone and or text i will still need the 'mobile network' to be enabled but somehow disable the data side of things...
On home screen press and hold in vacant place> HTC Widget> Settings> Mobile.....
Turn on/off at the touch!

It's apparently in your smart settings or whatever area where you can set data limits for the device. Press the menu button while in there and you should be able to get extra options.

Ok I have data usage & data roaming and restrict backround data.
You want to make sure background data isn't restricted generally, and only turn it off on apps that are eating up your data if you're not on Unlimited.

Go into settings -> Developer Options -> One of the last options is to not maintain activities, uncheck it and see what happens ^-^

Hi everybody, i keep receiving this annoying pop up with wifi scanning every time i lock my phone even when the wifi is off or on. I turn the scanning off / on from developer mode (kept it in both ways for a while but still the message appears). Location off/ only gps/or high accuracy. Seems that all the commands don't really work.
Please help!
Thanks
I have the same problem! Would be great to get a solution to this. For me, the pop-up only seems to appear when I have Wi-Fi turned off. Whenever the pop-up appears, it minimises the app I'm in, too, which is really annoying because I use Google Maps in my car a lot, and I like to have the Wi-Fi off so the phone doesn't keep trying to connect to Wi-Fi networks that require authentication.
Now its happening the same with me...when wifi is off... It supposed to be an option in the wifi advance settings but...i dont see anything there...that helps...
Have you tried going into settings-security & Privacy-Location services-tap on 3 dots-scan settings and make sure wifi and Bluetooth scanning is off?
Yea, i did that too... Everywhere i could possible know it can be a setting to scan/ locate )... Only thing seems to work for not so many popups is letting wi-fi on all the time ). Good that it has good battery life...
Turning the WiFi + off solved the problem for me.
I have the same problem it's really annoying... And it pops out every once in a while it doesn't matter if you click agree or deny on this message
The only thing that seems to be working it's keep the wifi on... But of course I shouldn't be like that.... Any idea why we have this annoying pop up message?
Found this at Android Central, has to do with incompatibility with latest play store update. If you downgrade play store , then you get popups about Google play services being out of date. Oh well, just keep hitting cancel I guess. Im sure an update to solve will come soon. Lol
Here is what Huawei sent me:
Thank you for contacting Huawei Device USA!
We really appreciate your interest in our devices.
This is caused by incompatibilities between the device and Google Play services of version 12.8.74 or later.
Solution:
It is recommended that you try to solve it in the following three ways:
When pop up, touch CANCEL button.
Go to Settings > Security & privacy > Location services > The three vertical dots > Scan settings, turn off WLAN scanning.
For now, you are advised to go to Settings > Apps & notifications > Apps > More > Show system processes > Google Play services >The three vertical dots > Uninstall updates(This path will not appear until the version is updated).
Feel free to share this information.
Huawei is actively working with the Google development team to provide a final solution. Please stay tuned for updates about this issue.
We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused to you, we are working hard to make a connected world and this includes the satisfaction of our valuable customers.

Mate 10 lite here, been receiving this pop-up like mad yesterday. So I was right in thinking that the pop-up was probably caused by Google being Google again.
Hopefully we get a final solution that doesn't involve downgrading Play Services, a component that insists on being up to date.

So whenever I left wifi area or turn off the wifi soon after the mobile data gets automatically turned off, the icon of it shows not just for specific app.
Even when I turn off the data saver, it doesnt help.
This is very bothersome as I will miss alot of stuff.

Anyone experiencing or heard such problem with Huawei Phone? Need help.
Are you talking about missing notifications?
If you enable Developer Options (settings/system/about phone...then press build number 5 times) then in Developer Options there is an option you can tick to always keep mobile data active. I use it for faster network switching and it doesn't have much of an impact on data use or battery drain.
But if you are talking about missing notifications that might not solve your problem.
You want to remove any apps that need timely notifications from battery optomization in the power settings. Make sure after you choose to manually manage the apps that they are allowed to run at startup and remain running in the background. (All 3 options should be allowed).
If that doesn't solve your problem then you might also need to remove Google Play Services from automatic power management since that service is normally responsible for syncing Android phones.
Huawei has more aggressive power management than most Android phones which provides great battery life but also annoys many people because they can miss important notifications.

No, the entire data just cut off after leaving wifi even thou the mobile data was on prior to leaving the wifi spots or just turning off the wifi. Does that make sense? I have had so many different phone this has never happend to me. I even turn off the data saver mode too.

If I turn that option on in dev mode "always leave the mobile data on" even when the wifi is on (even when wlan is active) does that mean it may sometimes suck up my mobile data while wifi is on, i dont want that.

Ok after tons of digging found the problem. a function i have never seen on previous phones.
basically you go to mobile data setting and go to more and then (wlan/mobile switcher) go in there and thats where the problem is.
I now select switch to mobile data.

I don't see that setting. Does this fix the fact that when you use hotpsot the phone is incapable of any data? I can't use hotspot at the same time as data on the phone itself.
