As soon as I shut my screen off, mobile data turns off.
I'm not getting email or FB notifications because of this and I've looked high and low to find a setting for this, but I'm not seeing it.
I'm not using any of the power saving settings.
Anyone have a clue what might be going on?

It does.
You can use Tasker to do this, Evo. State->display off->mobile data off.

could be a bug in tasker? Is this new for you on rls10 or has it been going on for a while? Anyways, I would try and delete tasker and see if that works, then maybe install a different type of tasker...? just a thought

Did you try flashing a different kernel or dirty flashing the rom.
Your sig says your probably on hyperdrive. This is odd behavior for a touch wiz rom. I have seen this on AOSP.
I would almost bet something has gotten stomped on.
Does this happen regardless of toggling airplane mode, or rebooting, or changing mobile network settings?

I am on Hyperdrive - says that a few posts up, too.
I'm on stock optimized kernel on HD - and have ran that kernel since it's been available. I'm not one for switching around kernels - too buggy for me
What I've done is set Tasker to always keep mobile data on when at cell near work. This works and doesn't appear to have much of a detrimental effect on my battery life.

Stock Optimized does run nice on HD.
Honestly I'd dirty flash the rom.
If it didn't clear up, I'd nandroid, back up apps and reflash.
Like you the best I can tell this is not normal behavior on HD so I'd say it has to do with your setup, how it flashed, what you installed, the tweaks that were done, etc...
But you also have a work around in place. I know sometimes for myself I cease to care about what the problem is or what has caused it if I have a viable work around.
I'd say your call all the way on this one.
Or heck if your a flashaholic like me, nandroid and flash something else to see if it happens there too. Eclipse TW 2.0 and Dirty Unicorns are my favorites right now, both running really solid, with exceptional battery life. DU if you like ultra customization like hyperdrive and like aosp as well. I like me some Hyperdrive as well, but those are the 2 that have my attention @ the moment.
Sorry not more help, but that is just one of those weird bugs you could chase forever.

Yeah, the workaround has me satisfied for now. I'm not really a flashaholic, and I like TW too much to even try AOSP. But thanks for your input! It's greatly appreciated.
Not the rom your running but the official version release from Samsung and Verizon.
I'd like to get a decent percentage of who's on what so if people would please just vote (can't think of a better word atm) I would appreciate it. Thank you.

MDK. Stock Rooted.
ME7 stock rooted. Kicking myself for waiting so long and missing out on easily obtaining an MDK. Not willing to pull warranty fraud or anything like that either.
This is what I thought was happening. We have a pretty even mix of people on 3 different versions on this phone. The forum here has been dead lately and I think this is the reason. It's unfortunate Samsung gave in to Verizon..... That or the possibility of gaining a government contract was too much for Samsung to turn down. The situation bums me out. I enjoy reading the forums and the lack of activity is disappointing.... However the news of 4.3 seems to have resparked some interest which is encouraging.

The real question is do you need this update? Unless you're in a low LTE reception area there's really no reason to even consider it. I see a lot of posts about failed rooting with MI1 vs ME7 too, so if you're still wanting to root taking the update could be a bad idea. I'd just wait to see what 4.3 brings

MDK stock rooted. Im only missing blocking mode and torch toggle. now with 4.3 I need the gear support, otherwise no need to leave. (but man I would really love to use my watch) coming from a completely tweaked X and RAZR MAXX this phone was awesome out of the box. so with so many stable roms from the get go, maybe thats why there is so little traffic with this phone
ME7 Rooted and some bloatware frozen. Not using TW however. I bounce between Apex Pro, and Next Launcher. Still deciding if i want to update to MI1 and then 4.3. I'll probably wait till 4.3 has a root process.

You may be stuck on that for a long time or forever. So far everything has been rootable and 4.3 might be but why take that chance? I would wait at least a week to see if any stock 4.3 roms come out for us on MDK. There is not tar available to make a rom from. I've only read of one person keeping root and it was an extensive process.

Unfortunately theres no going back once excepting a OTA update. MDK is the only version with custom recovery. Hopefully Hash will crack a safestrap method but even if he does you'll probably still need a 4.3 Stock kernel. Have you tried a factory reset? Might solve your wifi issues.

Thanks for the info. Do you think if I root and install a custom ROM it may help or am I simply spinmng my wheels until the next OTA ?

Well there is root exploit, but no custom recovery. So flashing anything isn't possible ATM to even change radios. Also, Samsung is locking everything down with Knox making it more difficult. Hopefully a 4.4 stock leak will save us with bootloader hacks. Trying to be optimistic

If that doesn't fix it you could tell Verizon you tried everything and it should be covered by your warranty for a new replacement.

Factory reset is the only thing I have not tried.
You know, I have not installed Knox. The icon is there but I have not hit the install option. Also, I was reading that there is a way to disable it.
Does that make any difference with flashing an older radio ?

No, unfortunately. The bootloader needs to be unlocked or exploited in some way for you to be able to get a custom recovery to flash something. No one's been able to crack the firmware for months now, much less 4.3 which just came out.

To keep them from upgrading you to an even later version that might not be vulnerable to whatever exploit they will eventually discover. (I have a PSP with a version that everyone said was unrootable yet here it is.. playing roms)

I just want my WiFi back to what it was on 4.2. It was my contact with the outside world while stuck at work.
Guess I'm willing to do what ever necessary. Sadly, I've even been considering going back to my iPhone since this update to 4.3.

OP, you never said what the wifi issues actually are. A zillion people are on 4.3/MK7 and doing fine with everything.
People do that all the time here and in other forums in other aspects of life. They have a problem, think of the only solution they can imagine, then ask for help implementing it. A better question is can I get help/ideas to correct the original problem.
My apologies, your right. I went back and read my OP. I didn't say what my issues are.
Well, my employer privides an open WiFi for the office. The signal is not extremely strong but it's fair. Signal strength does dip up and down a little.
So while on 4.2, my phone stayed connected to the WiFi. Never disconnected. Once I upgraded to 4.3, it will not stay connected. It constantly drops the signal, scans, sees the signal but won't reconnect. I have to manually force it to connect.
As soon as I sit the phone down and it sleeps, it disconnects again and the process starts over.
The constant scanning is draining my battery fairly quickly.

4.0 is probably better on everything, cause its older, better battery too. But not as many bells and whistles. A lot of the lag can be eliminated just by disabling ripple effect on lock screen. The remaining with Trickster. I know you don't like to read too much, but if you went to p355 - 378 in Padawan thread, all lag issues (for most) disappeared. My phone never ran better. I've gotten comfortable with bells and whistles though. Stock is very bland for me now.

I installed Nova Launcher for the first time in 6 months and omg I didn't realize how much I missed it. (never installed on LG G2 cause I was worried knock on/off would break, but never bothered to even try it out lol. /lazy).
All of you say NO lag, is anyone here actually rooted?
I'm rooted, which was fine while running stock...but I've installed Omega (international ROM) and yes, I'm experiencing some lag. I've also lost the "HD" feature while in a call...I'm considering coming back to a debloated version of the stock ROM while maintaining root.
Not rooted here yet. Going to see how long I can last before I feel I need to/get desperate.
I've made up my mind to wait for a TMO custom ROM, the international ROM that i've tried caused me a little bit of lag.

that could just be the result of omega being very early - the OP admits that he hasn't done much with the ROM - just enought to get soemthing out I think - I would imagine it will improve as development progresses.
I flashed omega - saw a little bit of lag and installed LagFree from Playstore - I also have an ap called "Seeder" that i use if Lag becomes an issue - after i installed those, I didn't see any lag issues on Omega - I didn't need to install either one of them on the stock rom - smooth as silk.

Yea, there isn't enough change in the Omega rom that warrants flashing, unless I had an international version of the S5. I'm using the debloat software right now on the stock TMO image and seeing what that's gonna do.
Well sometimes walking up my screen I do get a second or so lag before the screen comes on.

I also don't like losing wifi calling - so for me - an international rom has to be really special to make me want to flash it - but then I have an addiction to flashing - so sometimes I just flash to check it out - and then restore my previous rom - it's a disease...lol..maybe one day I will get help..
It's typical for the regular TouchWiz specific carrier to have issues, especially with bloatware . That's why we won't see the true potential till we start seeing custom Roms. Any phone stock is like a empty canvas
Mostly no lag here. I disabled the Lookout or Lockout, whatever it's called, security thing that kept scanning everything I was doing. Switched to ART. Some other stuff I don't remember. The only lag I experienced was a second delay when pressing the recent apps button. But it's a hell of a lot faster than the S4's. Also switching between pages on the UI was a little stuttery, turning off battery saving mode fixed that. Also don't forget that the battery saving mode limits the CPU.
Ehh, just got my S5 yesterday and am having super lag. Even just typing on the keyboard is laggy and choppy. Flicking around home screens, app drawer, and menus mostly fine... but typing and scrolling through just about every app (including email) is choppy and stutters. Haven't seen it, but friend claims his S5 is fine, so it might just be my phone. ..
Taking it back for an exchange anyways because of screen discoloration issues, maybe I just got a bum unit. Definitely not right though, have never seen so much lag on a phone before.
