Hi Guys, I got fond of the Hero a lot. and requested a friend to get one for me on his way from london (sim free, unlocked)
1 thing concerns me is the data consumption over 2g networks as its quite expensive here
I need to know if I can stop data transfer without affecting calling ability???
this is crucial in my decision to buy
Appreciate your clear and quick responses.

Settings > Wireless Controls > uncheck "Mobile Network" > Qapl'a!
you can even put a Mobile Network Toggle on the desktop to just switch it on and off.
Whilst off, you can still send and receive SMS and calls, but not MMS.

does shutting mobile network shut data only?
the toggle is native
no you don't need to root the phone
yes, it only shuts off mobile data (including MMS), this is why it's called mobile data, and not airplane mode. Wifi is unaffected.
Data Roaming
Hi everyone,
We've just started using the Hero at work as a business phone, a lot of our employees travel internationally on a regular basis.
Using our old WinMo phones, picking up emails whilst roaming was automatically disabled by default but could be manually sync'd with our exchange server if required.
On the Hero, there doesn't seem to be a similar function. You have to go in to the Mobile Network settings and disable 'Data Roaming'.
My question is, if I disable 'Data Roaming' but still have 'Enable Always-on Mobile Data' active, will any downloaded apps still be able to connect and update i.e Twitter gadget for instance? Or does disabling 'Data Roaming' stop data connections full stop?
The ideal scenario for us would be something that is quick and easy to turn off (or turn on) that would prevent any data connection but will let us open up the Mail app and sync manually with our exchange server if required (like we could with WinMo).
I currently have the Toggle Selector app on my home screen to quickly get to the Mobile Network settings. I'm just not sure what to enable/disable in the settings menu that will let me get mails manually and prevents all other data connections.
Any advice or suggestions would be more than welcome. It's got us scratching our heads a little and is stopping us from upgrading other staff phones as we don't want to end up with a phone we can't use as a business tool internationally as it costs us the earth in data roaming charges.
The easiest way i can think of would be to have the toggle on screen, and when you want to sync, you turn it on, manually refresh the emails and then turn it off again.
if you have data roaming blocked, it will override the 'always on mobile data' setting, so no, when roaming is turned off, nothing will connect when you are abroad.
honestly though, android is not ready for business really, which is why HTC are pitching it at the consumer market mainly.
I am in the same position, just want to be clear, with the "toggle" will it stop all data? (including browser, mms texts, apps updating) i only want these when i have wifi.
thanks in advance
to make it absolutely clear:
When at home,. turn mobile data off and NOTHING can access GPRS.
When roaming on another network when abroad, turn data roaming off and GPRS is blocked. To access GPRS, you have to turn data roaming AND mobile data on to access GPRS.
The Data roaming toggle has precedence over the Mobile data toggle.
Thank you, appreciate it
I have noticed toggling mobile networks occurs twice. What I mean is, after toggling a couple of times, I cannot seem to coonnect to 3g anymore? In that case I always have to restart my phone. Anyone experiencing this issue? It could be a bug. I used To have a blackberry bold and that bug was fixed by an update
Hi,
I dont know if anyone has the same bug as mine? Whenever I switch from wifi to mobile internet (3g) or turn it on, i found it hard to be activated. I dont see the sign (H or G) on the top bar. Then to make it activated i have to either switch to airplane mode and then switch back to previous mode or go to settings, wireless control, mobile network settings, operators, and choose select automatically.
I have no mobile data, not even the little up and down arrows or letters next to the sims signal bars show up.
I have tried all the troubleshooting and different settings for prefered network type, airplane mode is off, mobile data is on with no limits, no power saving modes are on. Phone is dual sim so I have tried on both sims and tried disabling the other sim and changing the sim slots, both sims are loaded with data credit that works in other android devices. Wifi works fine. Factory reset does not help.
There is only one trouble shooting thing I can't try. When I select settings > more > mobile networks > access point names it says
"Access Point Name settings are not available for this user"
Perhaps if I could set APN I could get mobile data. How can I do that or how can I try to get mobile data to work?
Phone is E2363 with build 26.1.B.2.102 Thanks if you can help
Try clicking on the plus sign and add in the operator name (mine is DST in my country) and followed with a 'dot' then internet in the Mobile network settings.
Example for me: DST.internet
You may also want to try with .WAP
Example for me again: DST.WAP
I left mine like that and I seemed to have gotten the Mobile data to work. But my case was different, I have the up and down arrows when Mobile data is turned on, just couldn't access the Web.
If adding another APN fails, flash ftf. Seems like the last resort.
There is no plus sign, just the text
"Access Point Name settings are not available for this user"

Oww.. Sorry.
I guess you can try reflashing the ROM? :silly:
From what I have google searched, it has something to do with com.android.providers.telephony and we can't do anything about that without root so reflashing is the only option.
EDIT: Have you tried going around with the Service Providers stuff and rebooting? Idk might as well give that a try
downloading automatic settings from Settings -> More -> Internet settings fixed it, thanks yall.
Hi i just got the verizon g6. The original owner did a factory reset but now i am trying to set it up and its asking for account details of (original) owner.
How can this be corrected? Does google or verizon assist with this.
The phone is unblocked through verizon. IMEI checked and the previous owner is being helpful
I got this bit solved with the help of the previous owner.
I am on mint sim and have got the phone and sms working BUT when i got to turn mobile data on it asks i call Verizon (i set up APN as per mint web site)
Any ideas?
Ok now I get mobile data from settings, but short cut from dropdown menu to turn on mobile data doesnt work (neither does the switch from the 'mobile network's). In both cases it asks I call verizon customer service.
The only way i can turn on mobile data is from settings , and at the top there is a message in blue 'mobile data is off, turn on?'
How can i fix the 'call verizon customer service' and enable mobile data from the dropdown short cuts? ThIs is a pain.
The sim inside the phone is Mint Sim.
Any ideas?

now my ability to turn on 4g is gone - see red text below. That blue message is now gone and I can't turn on data. Any ideas ?
Will rooting this solve my problem. Again I am on mint with an unlocked verizon LG G6.
Thanks.

Just what the title says. My phone tells callers that I'm not accepting calls and when I attempt to make calls it simply refuses to do so or displayed a "call ended" message without ever dialing the other person. Everything else works fine and I can even make voice calls if I use duo mode instead of mobile. I can also receive calls if the caller uses duo mode.
Have been through everything except an actual reset. Unable to do that since the phone was a hand-me-down and I don't know the PIN. I've about reached the point where I do a hard reset manually but I hate to lose my data. Does anyone have anything I could try to either bypass or recover the PIN or something I could use to get mobile mode to work again?
Your sure you have service? If you do, do you have credit? Both of those would prevent you making calls. You can still use Duo if your on WiFi or you have a data only service. If you are showing that your connected to the network and you are certain you have minutes in your plan or credit available then you will need to call your network provider so they can see if there's any network issues preventing your calls. Check the network operators status page to see if there's issues in your area.

It appears that when using a Galaxy S9+ with ATT service the phone is unable to do VoLTE
The way that I was able to have internet on the phone and voice calling was to go into the APN and set the Network Mode to 3G/2G (auto connect)
That fixed it for me. Still pissed off that I can't use LTE but oh well it will work until I upgrade the phone.

Hello, I have an unlocked s9 that is going through a similar issue in not being able to make or receive calls. Can you let me know how you got the APN settings for 3G/2G? Going to APN settings I only see the nxgenphone setting open and active, which I heard was for LTE.
Also, can you let me know what setting it has to be in the 4636 mobile network settings in order to restore data? Thanks
