How come i get both my wifi indicator and mobile data indicator on at the same time while using wifi? When the wifi first connects, the mobile data indicator disappears, but than about 5 seconds later it reappears and stays on. Is that normal behavior? I have a Nexus 4 as well, and it only shows the indicator applicable to what im using, which is what i prefer.
It's your mobile data turned off?

Thanks for the link, disabling the city caller id app worked. For whatever reason i guess that app needs mobile data at all times, even when connected to wifi.

I'm glad to read this also. The free city caller id started at the same time I noticed both icons on, but I didn't put the two together. I do like knowing what service I'm getting throughout my house, without turning the wifi off, so after the trial period is over, is there a way to keep both icons ??

I am having a problem where any time I turn my wife on, my mobile data turns off (no 4G or 3g icon, also network signal info app shows no data). Is this a designed feature or is it a bug? Running stock Rogers firmware I747MVLLE8.

Well that's your problem bud. You're turning your wife on, not the wifi But on a serious note, this is an intended feature of android. When you turn on wifi it turns off mobile data to save your mobile data. If you dont mind me asking, why do you want your 4G to stay put if you are on wifi?

Avoid showering. Your wife won't get turned on as often. Problem solved.
Sorry. Couldn't resist the auto-correct fail... If you're on wifi, your 4g/3g automatically shuts off. That's normal.

It's definitely a "power saving feature" built into Android.

thats how it is on all android phones i blve at least all the ones ive had it wont send or rec pic msgs over wifi so it goes to the network then back to wifi
Alright thanks guys. Is there any way to turn this feature off? I want to keep mobile data on because I have really bad service at my house and I am trying to analyse it a bit.
You can just turn wifi off. You can't be connected to 2 data sources at the same time (that isn't an android thing). If wifi is off, you'll connect using 3g/4g instead.

re: Constant data usage.. on wifi and mobile
I was using app after app to figure out why my data connection on wifi and mobile was always working..
I kept shutting down app after app too to find the offending one.
2 days later.. its the FUDGING GPS
and more specifically the check box was checked next to the "Wifi and mobile network location"..
Unchecked it and the data stopped..
Uncheck the box... and you will find better battery life... better yet.. turn off gps when not in use..
was wondering why my phone was losing soooo much battery when i was not using it.
Yes, allowing location to be determined using WiFi and network will eat up battery. Turning off gps when not in use really doesn't save any battery unless you have some rogue app that incessantly polls GPS.

So I unchecked them all, lets say I call 911, could they still trace it?

E911 which all cellphones use now are easily traceable to within 100 feet. Even deactivated cell phones have 911 service. Every now and then the police knock on my door because the idiot boys next door fight with each other and use deactivated cell phones and call 911. I just point to their door.
Thought I been using wifi calling but I'm already out of minutes. Set settings to never use cellular network only wifi but its still goin against my minutes. The blue phone icon is wifi calling right?
Edit mods can delete or lock this. Just read that wifi calls still count against your plan. That's a joke.

This happened to me, although I caught it after I only used a few minutes. You need to call T-Mobile and ask them to activate free wifi calling. Even though your phone is calling over wifi, calls will be charged against your minutes unless this is activated.You may be able to do this on their web site, but I had to call them to get it done.
I find it objectionable that they don't let you know that you need to do this in any of their documentation.
How do you run out of minutes its 2013 they have plans with unlimited minutes lol

Have you tried clear data/cache for apps associated (location, wificalling, etc) to see if issue resolve?

I can understand that. Seeing as how we don't have root yet, I cannot tell you in-depth way around to reset app and wifi calling. Only way I can think is that app has faulty install or something obviously broke in running. For temp, have you restarted the device then tried? How good is location/satellite service (GPS only, battery saver)? If so, I would recommend (sadly) a factory reset and redo the wifi calling. If something still broke and error still persists, then maybe faulty hardware at this point. I had to factory reset first day I got it due to issue with brightness not sensing correctly. Everything works now. Ill keep looking at it but for now, only way is through restriction by phone not root yet.
That's the thing haha to have a solution before I have to FR the device. GPS is good in this area maybe is address...

I know, no root limits answers we can give obviously haha. Try address but I don't think that would cause FC in location query. The app should have just told you no good, not FC. That's why I can see this is frustrating haha. I have no FC and could not reproduce by wrong address and such. Ill keep looking.
Yeah that's exactly how I feel... Frustrated. FC every time when authenticating

Sorry to hear. That's all I got now since no root to edit other files. I'd just try another wifi if you can and see if it happens again. If so, no dice, sounds like FR to resolve only way.
I'll be doing some changes like moving from this area to see if it is the gps or the hardware. The last thing I'll do is the reset tho.

I am wondering the same thing. That notification drives me crazy. I seem to be having issues receiving some calls. For some reason the phone will ring in wifi calling and show who is calling but no one is there one I answer. The other person tells me it rings but then goes straight to voice mail.

It is real annoying when it happens. I shut it off for now because I didn't really need it on. I get pretty good signal but it seems to be in and out at work sometimes so I liked having it on. But it does me no good if almost every call I get does that. I assume they are working out the bugs in it.

WiFi calling works fine for me but not for texting. Ill have to retry to send the text a few times before it goes through. Also my mobile signal drops to no bars when WiFi is on, and returns when i turn it off.

Yup. I used wifi calling all day yesterday... It definitely helps when making a call.. But i lose all my bars and cannot receive calls. I confirmed this and had my wife try calling me with different configurations in different parts of the house. I've posted on the sprint forums to see what word I can get on this...

I just posted in your thread. Maybe it will speed up the response if they see two of us with the same problem.
how did yall get WiFI calling? my G Flex had it in its last update tho i never used it, but i am on the ZV4 update, yet i do not have the WiFi toggle. any ideas why?
So, I'm running OC5 OTA update, rooted of course, and have Hotspot working with the APN dun addition (not Galaxy Tools). Is there any way to keep Hotspot from turning itself off when I get a call while on a 3G network? Id like to keep it running until I choose to turn it off, regardless of the state of mobile data. See attached screenshot.
Thanks in advance!

Looks like it's not letting me attach my screenshot. See it here: https://www.dropbox.com/sc/73ot1zhyjhtnvrs/AABxxLdUh2USUIpwIddj3c0Ra

This. Only lte and Wi-Fi does your connection remain on, on 3G it disconnects.
Sent from my SM-N900P using XDA Free mobile app
Maybe I'm being misunderstood. I know data and voice don't work at the same time on 3G. I want the Hotspot to remain on, even without a data connection so the clients that are connected don't lose their connection to each other. Yes, I realize that they cannot connect to the interwebs but I use the Wifi AP to stream Plex from one device to another and it's a pain to reconnect and start the stream over. My kids also use it to play games together on their iPads.
Sorry for the misunderstanding.

My understanding is that if the data connection is lost, then hotspot turns off by itself. I'm not sure if I've ever seen any way to change this.
One thing you could do is use tasker or automate it to setup rules to turn it back on when your phone call has ended.

I'll give that a try. I don't recall it being that way prior to LP or on my S4. Oh well, thanks for the suggestion!
