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.

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've got the same.
My wifi was off but the icon stayed on the notification bar !
I have to reboot the phone to get right !
My phone loses its connection when I enter a certain area, and I have a hard time trying to get it to come back.
Basically when I enter Hollywood, CA. I lose all data connection, no internet, maps, etc. When I exit the city my connection never returns. This happened twice already and only in Hollywood.
I still dont have a connection as of right now, what do I do?
Avoid Hollywood?
Lol, sorry. Try turning airplane mode on and off.

When I turn on wifi, it connects, disconnects, connects, disconnects, and finally connects. How do I fix it to just connect!!!!
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using XDA App
This might be a common problem as mine does this too. Mainly when I am trying to connect to corporate enterprise WiFi.
go to settings, wireless & networks, wi-fi settings and select the network you are trying to connect to, you should be prompted for your security code. This is not the wifi security code, it is the one set under settings, security. I have no issues with connecting to my home network, but at work I have to go through the above process.
I have same issue but mine won't connect at all it was working fine and then just stopped when I go under WiFi settings n Advanced settings it says ip address unkown. I didn't recieve the update yet and am not rooted. You think update will fix this or is my device shot and need to be exchanged

Is this just a common issue with the phone? I use wifi all the time when home and might be a reason to return it.

Mine did this until I updated the software. Go to settings about phone HTC updates check now.
If u are like me and haven't gotten the update yet I downloaded a app called wifistatic from market manually put WiFi settings in and forced connect and BOOM no issues works better then ever

Hi all,
I went on vacations, had my phone on airplane mode most of the time. When I came back I turned airplane mode off and now I can only connect to 2g antennas, if I select 3G only I don't get any signal.
When I try to manually search for network operators I get a "Connection unavailable" message
Any idea of what might be going on/how to fix it?

I flashed cyanogenmod to see if it was the radio driver but that didn't help
Check your apn settings maybe

When I select 3g only I can't even configure apns, I don't even get cellular signal.
Don't select 3G only. Use automatic.
Also if you have subscribed to a 3G plan, keep your data connection ON and try a restart.
Even face this often as i travel between two distant places once in a month. First time i did a factory reset. But second time onwards this helped.

So lately what has been happening when I disconnect my phone from wifi it will not automatically connect to Sprints data network. It says its still connected to 1xRTT (according to SignalCheck Pro) however it then has a pop up saying my phone cannot connect to the mobile data network and says MIP 180 or something along those lines, and I can't connect to Sprints data until i reboot. The 3G symbol will not show up until i reboot and can't connect to data. Im running stock touchwiz not rooted, latest update. This happens pretty much everywhere I go. Any help?
I've come from ATT and have never had an issie of this sort before using GSM phones. Although it could just be because this phones still new?
ok so i got a screen shot of it.
Forget that im roaming and using usb 3.0, that was after the fact it kept telling me this message. I generally have great service where I am, could be cell tower upgrades.
That error code means you need to update your data profile. After you reboot, go into settings and try updating your profile...if it continues contact Sprint.

Had same problem recently and it was due to several tower problems in my area.
