Ok so I've had the Nokia Lumia for 2 weeks now and I've just had a text from my network saying that I have almost used all of my 500mb data allowance already, stunned I rang Talkmobile up to find out that the phone has been using 3mb of data every second nearly!
I've now turned off the mobile internet in the settings to prevent a huge bill!
I don't understand this as its my work phone, so only use if for incoming emails really,and I'm always connected via WIFI at work and at home, so it seems to me that when the phone locks the WIFI automatically switches off and then runs on mobile data.
There are no settings to rectify this either.
Please check your allowances as this has used 487mb in 12 days!!!!!!
P.S After looking online it appears that either there is a bug or it's just the phone, but it disconnects the Wifi to save battery, meaning that it will run off mobile data occurring huge data consumption!!
Any one else noticed this, as some of my colleagues have this phone and the are on Orange and haven't noticed massive allowances.
It's a known problem...There isn't priority when wifi is on...So 3g collection is on top at the same time..

Ok well I hope this is fixed in the patch that's due out next month!
Thanks
I don't think it's going to be fixed with the patch you think of as this is system specific issue. All wp7 devices work this way. It's down to microsoft not Nokia

Your welcome !
Sorry for typo !!!
I never use Wifi and have a 1GB dataplan... I'm updating my apps, listen to mp3 streams, 3 email accounts, sometimes watching youtube videos, surfing the web, using live tiles... in short words i have a heavy data usage...
But never used more than 600-700Mb in 30 days...
There was/is a bug with specific mail accounts (think it was yahoo), I'm not sure if it is fixed... But 500Mb in 12 days seems to high to me...
BTW i like the fact that it's disconnects WiFi when locking the screen, else it would eat up my batteries in 4 hours...
Maybe MS should provide a option for active WiFi under the lock screen... but I
personally wouldn't use it...

I think having an option would be better than not as my Samsung GS2 has it and I have the Wifi on never sleep, but I've not noticed it drain my battery.

THis is getting annoying..
I use a lot an app called whatsapp and i discovered that when i put the lockscreen the wifi go in standby too (also if the is no 3g where i live) and i dont recive any notification from whatsapp.
Once i reeneter the phone then i get all messages also back from 2 hours.
I cannot stay there every 5 minutes to check if a message arrives and with all my preovious android phone this wasnt a problem cause wifi was never off with lockscreen so i could still be in the world.
If this is a big issue i think this wp wont live much in my hands. 2 days i liked a lot but cant live with this ms decision..sort of nonsense, at least they should have putted an option where WE decide.

I switch off internet all the time, I switch on when I need to use internet.

It appears the wifi remains connected when the power adaptor is plugged in and the phone is charging. Does anyone know whether it’s possible to trick the phone into thinking the power adaptor is still plugged in?

I found out that WiFi stays connected if you disable "data connection"...
I disabled data connection to save battery over night but had wifi enabled (with knowing it would disable automatically as soon as the phone locks) - but in the morging i had 6 new emails and an emtpy battery so wifi must have been on all night...

Hello all, I am not sure if any one has mantioned this or not. I looked thru the whole Atrix forum and could not find anything. I just got the Atrix about a week ago. I noticed that after using the data for couple of hours (Streaming music) it disconnects and I dont have access to data till I power off for a while and power on again. it is the same story every time I use data for 1 or 2 hours. replaced the phone once already including the SIM card and still the same thing. Any one having the same problem? Please reply. Thanks.
Am I in the right forum? If not, please forgive me, let me know and point me to the right direction? Thanks.
So you lose data completely? No h, e, 3g? Just bars? I had a similar issue on my captivate if I drove around listening to Pandora sometimes it would randomly stop playing till I went to the next song.

Well, I see the H+, but the little arrows (TX/RX) right underneath it disappear and I have no data connection and all this is happening while I'm in the same spot (In my room or at work at my desk). Also a window pops out saying Network Error. Also, I never see E or 3g. It is always H+ even when there is only 1 bar. Is that normal? Here is a picture of it. It just did it to me. Now i have no data connection unless I power down for a while. Here is another Pic. If you notice, there are no Arrows under H+.

It happens to me on data only without wifi on or off. I was just wondering if this was happening to anyone else. I guess no one used the data long enough to see this problem. It looks like this is a Motorola problem and I will have to return the device. Don't want to but don't want to keep a defective device.

Check your Battery Manager -> Battery mode setting. I think by default it's set to Nighttime sleep, which (in theory) shouldn't affect any music streaming or sync apps until night time, but it's possible that the profile is wonky. Try using the performance option or the custom (even though custom warns you of this very same issue).
This issue finally happened to me today.
I think it had to do with Extended Controls widget not correctly enabling/disabling the data apn.
In settings everything was right but I could not get the network even though it was showing the H+.

Hi. If you keep using the data nonstop, you will see that it will happen to you more often. I read some where in a forum that Motorola is having some kind of a power management problem on these devices (Atrix4G & Bionic) where it over heats and effects the RF radio and Motorola is denying it. I am not sure how much of it is true. I can not find that article.
Here. I fond it. Every one, read this.
http://androidcommunity.com/motorol...-suffering-unfixable-power-problems-20110126/
Hey all, Guess what I just found out. After talking to few AT&T tech support about the problem I am having with the device, they transferred me to Motorola tech support. Guess what they told me. The Motorola Atrix 4G is not a 3G device. It is only strictly 4G device. WOW. That sucks. I thought this was E, H & H+ device. That is not what I was told in the AT&T corp. store when I went to purchase it. I was told that it is a 3g/4G device and if there is no 4G network it will drop down to 3G. But I don't think that is the problem. The device is defective. Just now I power off and power back on and it is working fine so far and I don't think we have 4G network in my area.
Update: 03/11/2011 02:13PM PST PDT
Hello all. I am just doing an update. I went and replaced the device one more time (3rd device, 4th SIM card) and it is still the same. It keeps disconnecting from Data every 1 hour or so. I finally called Motorola tech support. The first level tech support could not help me, so he transferred me to second level tech support. The second level tech support told me that they are going to try it on their own devices that they have and call me back the next day. So they did. She called me back the next day and told me that they could not duplicate the problem (of course). So she said she is not going to let it go, she is going to sent it to the engineers to see if they can find out what the problem is and she is going to call me back on Monday 03/14/2011. If they still have no solution for this, I’m going to return the device and reverse my upgrade. It is just a shame that Motorola (being the first in communications) has to get beaten by other Competitors.
any update on the issue? im starting to have the same problem with my atrix.
Unfortunately, this seems to be happening to quite a few people. There's a longer thread on it here:

Nope. Even Motorola Level 2 & 3 Tech support could not resolve the problem. They wanted me to sent the device to them for more trouble shooting. I finally returned the device and reverse my upgrade. I suggest you do the same if haven't past the 30 days.

with the new ICS coming just around the corner, I have tried to do so research on it, but still do not know a couple of things, is it smoother, and there seem to be a wifi issue, sometimes I have to keep manually connecting to the wifi after unlocking the screen, will that still be an issue. I think for me that was one of the big issues sothey must have fixed it with the ICS update.
Wifi has not been resolved. I am fine when not hibernating but even with it set to stay on it always disconnects when the screen goes off or in the cradle. Sucks but nothing I lose sleep over.

The wifi issue is easily solved by downloading "Advanced Wifi Lock" from the market. Just install that and it's instantly fixed!

Issue hasn't been resolved YET. ICS has not been released and as far as I am aware 3.2.1r2 was the last update issued anywhere and the WiFi issue was only just starting to become apparent when that was pushed out. Give Sony a chance to work it out.
I was watching qvc this morning and they are selling a coby tablet that has ICS on it. Lol
I wish we can get it already.
The tablet s I bought here has no issue with the wifi problem mentioned.
Most of the times, I don't have that problem, but I think it's just the reconnection that is fast enough to not bother me.

But the issue if its even called an issue, the feutre I would like is when Im downloading something the needs the internet I would like for it to keep the internet connection active/on while it goes into standby mode where the screen goes black on its own depending how many minutes if you have the timer for, or if you manualyy put it in lock mode by hitting the power button one time.

Ok, I don't do that on the tablet, only small downloads, so I never had that problem, but if even with active transfer of data the connection is dropped, than it's really an annoying bug

Which firmware version are you on then?? Mine is THMAS0032400.
Here I am again, and mine also have the "never disconnect wifi" option selected and works ok. I put a big file copying from my lan, then the tab entered in the standby mode, and after a while I checked again and the file was copied, so no connection dropped in my case. And I also remembered that even in standby I hear the new emails notification and the green light starts blinking also, so no drops here.
Mine has THMAS0112400, 3.2.1 r2, kernel 2.6.36.3, Portuguese edition.

Its starting to bug me, especially the wifi while screen is off being disabled when I have not selected that anywhere. Also definitely feels spotty and doesnt load all my data right away when I turn screen on, like its slow. No way I should have to use keepalive app for wifi to remedy this. Bluetooth audio in my car sounds pretty bad. It cant just be my device as others have reported similar findings.
What are your thoughts, will you deal with this and just keep your device?
Have you possibly thought about another device?

This phone is new. 1st software release for our ATT phones. Report those bugs to HTC/ATT, they will address it. Fixes will come in future updates if the devs dont fix them first. All new phones have bugs, all. They normally get fixed
It was also before but all started 2 years ago when they were fiddling with battery to last longer.
When you stream music WiFi to router and then amp when screen is off it can effect constant playback.
But you figured out what's caused it.
Even with mp3 not only heavy flacs.

Yes my bluetooth call quality is bad. My earpiece call quality is fuzzy and buzzes. Am I the only one?
*EDIT* After unrooting, relocking the bootloader, factory reset, all that fun stuff, the call quality finally corrected. Then got worse again. I figured out that it was my Google account screwing around with settings because whether you set it to or not, it tries to restore your previous settings. After wiping out that account and rebooting, call quality is wonderful.

Yes I was getting ready to go to the AT&T store to swap for one with a non defective earpiece. But I wiped my primary Gmail account from the phone, rebooted, plugged it in to charge for a little while so I could do some schoolwork and call quality was fine. So I don't know if it pulled over bad settings from my old inspire or what. Try the call quality while there is no Google account signed in after the reboot.

Lol, yes correct that how WiFi is suppose to work on devices. I have zero WiFi issues myself. When it's enabled and i connect to say my home wifi it appears on my device and stays connected all throughout my home. Flawless for me. When wifi is disconnected or turned off well of course it is no longer displayed on the notification bar, it's turned off or not connected, why would it still be displayed up there?

I just wanted to make sure that the lack of push notification that some see is really due to a disconnect of wifi. If the wifi symbol is still there and they don't get push notifications it is probably something else...I saw many people complaining about hardware defects and in 50% of cases it was because they used task killers or battery "optimizers" that disabled sync and other important processes.

Well, I was serious. Then after an overnight charge the problem started again. Still fuzzy and buzzy on the earpiece. More a problem with volume than frequency. Its the same as the bluetooth call quality. Reminds me of when A/V pregain is set far higher than postgain for manual distortion control. I think the values for volume amplification are screwed up somewhere. I like the phone, I just don't wanna deal with crappy call quality forever. I could even deal with the bootloader locking if the other issues would get fixed (well. I already have my code.). Got five days to make a call on keep it or exchange before the no questions asked 14 day exchange window for AT&T closes.
UPDATE: Update on the earpiece. I was just about to swap it out but then during the call it stopped buzzing and became clear. It did this when I took it away from my face and did something onscreen during the call. If it was a hardware issue, it would do it every call and during the whole call in my opinion.

Hi!
I was noticing issues a few days ago but never though they were phone related but I just did a test and the downloads speeds are horrible with Wifi. I mean .21mps and upload just scored 2.81Mb
On one random test it got about 8 download just 15 mins ago but after that is all super slow.
No idea what kind of settings I can tweak here.
In comparison a HTC Amaze gets 11Mb download in the same spot and even the horrible Wifi of the TF201 transformer Prime gets about 6Mb :/
Any suggestions?
PS UPDATE
In my case it was the router.
Got a Linksys E2500 and now all my devices max out my internet speeds...happy ending!
Yup! I also noticed this after the 290 update, so it's definitely a software issue (thank god). I noticed around two weeks ago that my download speed was at 12 Mbps, which is what it should be at, but one day later it was at 7. So I logged on my 2.4GHz network instead of 5GHz, and it was back to normal... well, until it wasn't. It had gone down to 7 again. And that's how it's been for the past two weeks. I have no idea why this happens, but it is driving me crazy. It's nice to see that I'm not the only one with this issue though. It helps a little while to switch between the frequencies for me, but I'm getting really tired of it.
What router do you have? I have a Netgear something something..

Got a Netgear 2.4Ghz kind of old by now and I wish I was getting 7 :/
Just changed to CH1 on the router, did a quick run and was getting about finally but then got a lost network connection error, ran it again and got .12 download! :/
In thought about trying Dogg ROM ...this si really annoying me now :/

Alright, so you have a Netgear too. Interesting. But I didn't have any issues on 257, so it's kind of strange.
I'm completely blank, and I have no idea what the problem might be. How much data has AndroidOS used on your ZU on WiFi?

How can you check data usage under Wifi only.. like maybe just restart it and let it sit to see what it is doing?
I am going to ask on the Dogg Rom thread what people is getting with Wifi too.
Go to data usage, tap the three dots and then "show WiFi usage".

For today is showing 101MB Android OS
Right now it is getting into almost 4MB download and 5 upload so that is better than the .21s of before but it just keep changing all the time while my HTC Amaze gets almost 20Mb downloads! :/
I even though of getting a more modern router!
Ah, okay. AndroidOS here has used 3.8GB so far this month, which isn't normal at all. It should be around 50MB. It doesn't add up at all. What system service is using that much data? The answer is non, which makes this another mystery on my part.
I have read a lot about people having the same problem as me, but they also had really bad battery life and it's usually easy to catch the guilty service, but my battery is awesome and AndroidOS only uses data while I'm on Wi-Fi... Like what the hell...! I'm drawing complete blanks here

Wow I just saw that from Jan 1 to Jan 9 I have 3.60GB of Android OS and 1.6GB of youtube...so that is more than double my actual Youtube Wifi usage! WTH :/
Gasp... I got almost 6GB Android OS usage in one week?!?! Wth...
On the other note, that is weird why your Amaze got better speed compared to ZU, perhaps there's some incompatibility between ZU and your router? I'm using Asus and it works just fine, just did a quick speedtest, and pretty much same speed between ZU on wifi and ethernet on PC, 55-58Mbps
Are you on stock .290 ROM? What router is that?

Totally stock. 290, Asus RT N66U
Before, i was using Linksys E2000, wifi speed is only can reach half speed of ethernet.
And suddenly like at 11pm it started getting 16Mb down again and this morning it was still good...maybe my router is acting up indeed? I did try the HTC two more times like at 10pm and it dropped to about 6Mb compared to previous side to side tests where it was getting 16Mb and the Ultra only .21...yeah hard to track down the issue with so many random acts.
In any case, I am going to try a new router.
A local is selling a Linksys EA4500 for $75. If I can get it for $50, it should be an upgrade from what I got...I hope
I was getting just 1MBps of upload speed when sending my film through Wifi to my desktop. but when i change target (to my NAS) the speed is increased to 3MBps. I know it is still counted as slow, but just to inform that different target/source is another factor too.
LOL, take a look at this

Now is that because of the sync of data, pictures, apps, etc to google?

I don't sync my photos, apps etc. so it can't be that. I do have auto-sync on 24/7, but that's only gmail syncing and stuff like that. Automatic backup is disabled. The funny thing i noticed is that AndroidOS' data usage will increase whenever i use the YouTube app. Logic, not even once
Edit: Oh, and btw, regarding the WiFi issue we're both having, the upload/download speed is constantly at max on my computer, but not on the Ultra, so it has to be a software issue in 290.
I dont get it as other users do not have the same problem or so they claim.
I even asked on the Dogg Rom thread. And this morning suddenly mine was fine again. I am getting a new router to switch from 2.4 to 5 if that helps since at home there are too many close routers and too many wireless things.
Besides, many times I have to come home and uplug the router and plug back in for the wireless to connect so I am fed up with it

Yeah, it's strange that we're the only ones with this problem, and we both have Netgear routers I should probably move my router around and see if that makes a difference. It's currently sitting next to my TV and a lot of other gadgets, which isn't that smart
I have an oldie Netgear but someone is selling the wndr3400 for $40 local. Maybe I will give it a shot.
I'm facing slow internet in my new One Plus 11R. All other devices connected to the same wifi works fine. When using WhatsApp, messages take forever to get sent. Payments are failing due to the internet issue. I have been using Vivo for past 5years and on the same WiFi for past 1year and never had these issues. Attached a screen recording for reference.
Do a speed test with another phone and 11r check the difference. I don't have a slow internet issue, maybe the new phone will get used to the wif range and it'll get better!

'Reset Network Settings' and see if that helps.

I don't see any issues with Speed Test. I can clearly see that there's a lot of difference in every task i do.

I can give a try. Honestly it's really frustrating to use the phone. Every request to any server takes forever to receive the initial response. Browsing is very pathetic. For e.g., reply or quote here took 10secs to load the message in the reply message box. It never appeared in the app. I had to switch to the browser. If I had realised it right after receiving the phone, i would have returned. Very bad experience with One Plus. Bought a flagship premium phone to use happily without any bugs. But this is unbelievable from One Plus.
Hey.. did u find any solution for this ? I am also facing the same problem.. Thanks !!
