Attempted to turn mobile data on the other day, nothing happened. Checked APN deleted and reinstated APN, tried toggling data from menu, toggled aeroplane mode, toggled 2g/3g and still no mobiledata.
I then tried the mobiledata widget again and wifi symbol appeared in status bar, not mobile data...
Rebooted phone and worked fine again after.
Didn't know a widget could alter its behaviour and still not sure how I lost data connectivity in the first place, ah well it works now

wow
exact same thing just happened to me
I had to re-download my internet settings, everything's alright now but I noticed that when I went to turn off the phone when this happened the silent and airplane modes was gone
Interesting to hear it wasn't a one off. Easily sorted but lets hope its not a symptom of something more serious

You dont have to reboot.
Press the wireless widget icon to turn off your wireless then press the mobile data widget to turn on mobile data. If the wireless icon still appears with mobile data on and wireless off, turn off mobile data and turn on wireless on then turn it off, then try turning on the mobile data again it should work

Thank you Izzy, I should have clarified that I was able to get the wifi icon to go away but was still unable to get mobile data until I rebooted, by use of widget or otherwise.

I have to reboot the phone to get right !

Good day everyone. I have been using my samsung vibrant for weeks now with no problem. i noticed today that i couldnt connect to the internet through my stock browser. so also apps like the xda app and facebook book app will not connect to the internet, while my internet indicator is showing connected (both 2g and 3g).It keeps displaying ""nodes for the connection is not available" on the browser. However, at the same time i have able to connecting and use other apps like ebuddy, yahoomail e.t.c. My vibrant is unlocked and purchased from the US but presently using it in nigeria. My APN settings is still the same way since i started using it and my service provider, MTN, says all is well with my connection. This has occurred three times today... each time i had to switch off and back on, or turn on and off the flight mode for it to work sometimes.
Please, any help on how to resolve this?
Apparently our phones lose data connection when they switch from 2g to 3g or vice versa. To prevent it from happening at all go to settings -> wireless and network -> mobile network -> network mode -> and set it to gsm only to lock it on 2g OR wcdma only to lock it on 3g.
Thanks reform. I have tried choosing only 2g and even tried choosing only 3g...but the problem still persist. I had to turn my phone off and On severally for me to have my internet network back now. Is there any other way I can resolve this?

Hello everyone. Please can someone help me with this problem? I have tried everything possible but the phone kept cutting off my internet connection, but only for my browser, Facebook and xda app. Each time it displays 'node not available for this request' it actually deducted from my data plan but not connecting me. Any help please?

DOes anyone know how to turn off the annoying WiFi reminder? I get tired of it asking me if I want to use WiFi whenever it detects ANY WiFi network! If I wanted to use WiFi, I'd turn it on and connect to it manually.

Uncheck the second box in wifi settings.

Nevermind, I found it. Go to Settings/WiFi Settings and uncheck the ""Notify Me" check box. The desription says "When launching apps, notify me when a Wi-Fi is available".
It will still not work if you have WiFi enabled and some network is detected.
Whenever I'm on WiFi I also have the 4g on display. Is this normal? I'm on stock.
No, it's not. When WiFi is on, you should be getting your data exclusively via WiFi so data over cell signal is stopped and the 4g symbol disappears. Are you sure you are connected to a WiFi network?

Yes I am 100% sure.
Same happens to me at times. I just turn data on then off and it goes away.

Hey this happens to me too!
Very annoying!
Also what's up with the phone switching back my preffered net work every time I reboot? I tik off "cdma only", but after reboot the phone puts it back to gsm/cdma...Grrrr
But yeah sometimes I have to turn off the data ( "connect to internet via phone") or it will intermittently switch between data and wifi

to whoever has that issue, do you use a data counter? just to verify where your data is going through
Happens on all my Androids. Not sure where my data is going through when they are both up in the Status bar. I don't ever hit my cap, so I am fine with it, but it is annoying.

Well, this is my second android phone and I haven't come across this issue before.
I would suggest that you check that your software is up to date. If it is, then power off the phone and pull out the battery, wait a minute then reinstall and power up. If that doesn't fix it, then I would factory reset it, but that's always a pain. If none of my suggestions fix it, then I'm at a loss.

This is because of "My Account" app by tmobile. It runs in the background and uses mobile network for connection to tmo servers (even if you have wifi turned on). Whenever you see mobile network turned on, just goto running applications and stop My Account and 4g/3g icon should go away. Its not just this phone, this would happen on any android device with my account app.
This is a weird to me. Currently using CM10 and using the network selector to change to roaming when at work (via Automatic selection). Yesterday, when I changed back to home network, my 3g signal wouldn't come back.
I've tried toggling airplane mode, wiped cache, but I really am at a loss as to how to get my signal back. Looking at the Phone info, it appears that I do have a sort of signal. If love if someone could help me out.

Hey everyone!
So i was just wondering, does anyone elses phone display 2g/4g/lte on the status bar even when they have their mobile data turned off? I'm not sure if something is wrong with my phone.. All of my previous android phones would not display any mobile data connections when it was turned off. As of right now, wifi is turned on but mobile data is not and it still shows 2g (from my house) on the status bar. Thanks for answering!
Do you have mobile data turned off? Or do you just mean that it should be because wi-fi is on? If mobile data is off I've never seen it stay on for more than a few seconds. But I have seen it turn on when wi-fi is also on for mms or something.
