Have you downloaded internet settings on your phone? Go to menu, Xperia, internet settings download and try that. If that still doesn't work, come back and let's try fix this!

Hi guys, can i ask something connected to data - on GB Sola when i put all automatic connections to manual data was never working/blinking.
Now in ICS i have google play account and my corporate mail, both put on manual not automatic, and very often data is stil working/blinking.
Why is that?
You mean data sometimes blinks and sometimes doesn't?
If it's what I think you mean, the data sign blinks only when data is being transferred, it remains still when no data is needed. I'm not totally sure but I think that's what you mean?

Yeah, thats what i mean. In GB it wasnt blinking until data is activated by something, here its blinks when it wants.
Second strange thing is - in Accounts i remove Automatic Updates for google account, but sometimes the phone tells me there is an update - why it continue checking for updates? (Never happened in gb)
If data blinks a lot, it must be background apps. News apps/facebook/emails?
When you get notification of an update, is it for apps in the play store or a Sony update centre update? If it's apps in the play store, the only way that I know of getting rid of that is 'disable background data' or as you would expect, 'data enable'.

No news, no facebook account, no email accounts either. In GB when i set my gmail account to "no automatic updates", data never made a blink.
It blinks because of Google Play app updates. The gmail account is set to "no autoupdates", but still inform of updates.
What do you mean by "disable background data", where can i find this?
Yeah I find the Play Store updates annoying sometimes too. A tiny, tiny update in a game I only use sometimes does not need to barage the top of my phone screen.
OK I have just looked into 'disable background data'. I thought it was renamed in ICS, but according to this:
http://android.stackexchange.com/qu...-require-background-sync-on-ice-cream-sandwic
'background data' has been *permenantly turned on* in ICS, whereas in Gingerbread we were able to turn it off with a tick box. The menu in Gingerbread said that that disabled app notifications and saved battery.
I found more people discussing it on this thread, if you would like to read more, I'm sorry to say it's no longer possible in ICS, only Gingerbread and earlier
http://forums.androidcentral.com/an...h/193193-background-data-disabling-w-ics.html
Ok, i see buddy If you find solution somwhere post it here. Thank you

I have agalaxy s2 and have the GPRS pack enabled from Vodafone.
Every 2 minutes my phone flashes with a message about the usage of gprs data and how much i have left. This causes screen to come on and phone to vibrate. This message is similar to the balance messages sent by network after each call (not an sms, just message with OK button)
Any option to disable these messages. Everyone i know if being annoyed with this.
Vodafone India tells me they dont know how these messages can be stopped.
Is there an app or something that can block these ?
This is happening because you might have installed Juice Defender or similar software that switches off your 3G/Edge (data) connection when your screen is turned off. There are 2 options for you to try:
1. Ensure that your data connection is always ON even after you turn off the screen. OR
2. If you are rooted, try this app: Prepay Widget
https://market.android.com/details?...EsImZhaHJib3QuYXBwcy51c3NkLndpZGdldC5saXRlIl0.
It might work even if you are not rooted. Give it a try.

Hi I would like to see a solution for this too. Not that I get those messages now and then, but whenever sending an sms I get a box like that telling I have been changed 0.00 rs which is actually annoying. I will try the app, however there any other way than rooting to stop the pop up?
@OP u got sense 3.0 UI in GS2?
got a reply from Vodafone email support that it cant be turned off.
wonder if there is an app that that block these messages.
I've turned off battery apps like Juice defender so i dont get many notifications
A tech rep saying it can't be done is a worthless response.
At the very least you could investigate options like:
Removing the process via Root Explorer (or similar app)
Freeze whatever the app or process is that is doing this in Titanium Backup.
Flashing to a stock (non-branded) firmware that doesn't include this crap.
Flashing to a custom firmware that doesn't include this crap
Its not a installed app that is doing this ! The service provider sends a flash message with the usage details.
Isnt there any apps that can block these. I'm sure it will be very popular with Vodafone users if someone makes one.
There should be some kind of MOD to push the pop up message mentioned by the OP in the first post to the notification bar at least.

This is a feature that i had a quick look at earlier and it didn't show ny problems.
Settings-> More Settings-> Nearby Devices-> File Sharing is locked on Off and i cannot switch it back to On.
This is getting quite irritating as I've been trying to set up Allshare Play streaming between laptop and S3.
Not sure when it got locked but it might have happened only after my latest update to LFB with Odin.
I had used Odin before to flash CF-root and it was working fine.
I tried switching on and off all the other toggles such as NFC wi-fi direct Android beam and S beam but nothing helped.
Anyone's got an idea how to get this working again??
ANY suggestions please.
No clues?

you gotta do this magic trick:

- open that settings tab
- should be disabled
- say 'i love my galaxy' three times - loud and clear

I've tried several Jellybean builds (CheckROM, Wanamlite, Omega) and have the same problem with all of them. Whenever I turn off 3G data it re-enables itself within a few minutes. Has anyone else had this problem with JB?
Most likely it is a problem with some of the installed by you soft wghich tires to connect to network.

What's the best of identifying which app might be causing it??
If your phone is rooted, it is simple: install DroidWall from market
I'm running Omega v31 since Indie released it. No problem so far.. Same when I was on CheckROM before.
Did you do a full wipe before installing the ROMs?

Yes I did a wipe/delete cache/delete Dalvik cache before installing each ROM.
I installed Droidwall and denied 3G access to ALL apps, but still something is switching on my data service within an hour of me disabling it.
???
I never met the app which turned firewall of by itself....
Last resort: install Titanium Backup, and by freezing one by one check which one causes this.
Must it be an app that's trying to access 3G, or is the o/s enabling 3G for some reason??
If you have set software check, it may, but I doubt it.
From system apps - I'd look into news daemon, stock daemon, account sync, weather update and similar.
Surely the question isn't which app is attempting to use 3G, but why it is able to turn 3G on when I've explicitly disabled it? If I turn 3G off should it prevent any app from using it??
Usually no, BUT:
- some apps can have root access;
- some apps can have "strange" permissions, especially if taken from... not 100% trustworthy source.
One more what can help to diagnose: Permissions Denied from Play, can verify app-by-app which one will have permission to access network.
Personally, what I'd do:
- install Titanium Backup;
- backup all apps;
- freeze system apps (Stock Daemon, news daemon, FB, YT, SamsungUNA, push etc)
- look if the situation persists, if not - I'd try to unfreeze sys apps one by one, and then restore my apps.
I'm using Onavo Count to monitor for data usage and it's showing that only "Google Services" and "Google Account Manager" have used any data since the last reboot. Since both of those are pretty central to the Android experience I'm now stumped. I can't disable them, but why/how are they overriding my settings and starting up 3G when I've explicitly chosen to disable it??
Hmmm... by the accident - do you have auto sync left in the settings?

Sync is switched on for Gmail only, but even this shouldn't be able to enable 3G when I've turned off 3G???

I have the same problem, since I updated to jellybean - the mobile data just switches itself back on even though I have manually disabled it.
I have the stock software, sorry, haven't had the guts to flash it yet :angel:

Have you checked in Settings>Data Usage>Mobile Data was unchecked after switch off the mobile data from notification? It could be either that or auto sync that force mobile data to switch on. Try to turn off mobile data and turn on auto sync, then see in an hour if there's any effect.
Because if stock (non-rooted) also have same problem, it should be something in the settings..
Anyway, mine doesn't have any problem like this..
try this
u may try this ....like press *#*#4636#*#* and the goto phone information the select the type of network u want..
btw this works for many of the devices....on any version of android
Hi All!
I own a desire x which is unrooted, and have been using it for around a year. Recently, Google play has stopped working with MY WiFi only . It keeps on loading showing the circular sign and nothing appears ... However , it works on any other WiFi network or even when I use mobile data ..... I have researched a lot and tried pretty much everything except a factory reset .. any suggestions? I read on some other forum that even a reset didn't fix the problem :/ Please help
If it happens only with your wifi, tell us how is your setup? Which type of wifi router, which security options and so on. Maybe there is something wrong there. Also, have you tried reconfiguring your wifi or even resetting your wifi router?

What I did was that I changed my DnS of my WiFi network on my phone to 8.8.8.8(which is the Google dns) and it works!!!!thanks for your responses anyway !!!
Ok, so there exists some kind of DNS block in your WiFi network, strange. But if you don't want to use Google DNS, you can also try OpenDNS (IPs are 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220)
Whenever I try to download an App, the download bar just becomes an indeterminate type & keeps moving; but there's no progress.. After an eternity (never actually measured, I think an hour or so) or so, the App starts getting downloaded & I can see the actual progress bar with the number of bytes left to download.There does not seem to be a difference whether I'm on WiFi or using mobile data. If I restart the phone after setting an App to install, sometimes the App gets installed rightaway when the phone reboots; most of the times I just have to wait for the Play Store to actually start the download.
I'm on the WW ROM, not rooted. Internet connection should not be issue; it's 300 MB down & 4G when on mobile data. Anyone else experiencing this?

Edit: Here is the ASUS support thread on this issue

I've figure out how to disable the audio wizard app. but since i don't think i have the audio bug. only you guys can tell if it works.
you may need to disable or force stop 2 things.
to disable audio wizard app.
- pull down notification menu bar.
- press an hold on audio wizard icon.
- choose force stop and then disable.
to force stop audio wizard service
- setting.
- apps & notifications.
- app info.
- 3 button on top right select show systems.
- find audio wizard services and force stop the service.
