Hello, I have a strange problem on my phone. We own two of these phones, and the problem is only present on mine. I am using a Huawei U8650 with Benru89's version 4 custom ROM, Gingerbread 2.3.7. The problem I am having is that my wifi doesn't seem to scan for open networks, and I never get notifications that there are open networks available. I have notifications enabled. When I leave my home and return, my wifi doesn't automatically reconnect either, I have to disable my wifi completely, then re-enable it for it to connect. I believe it has something to do with software, perhaps remnant settings of past apps I had on the phone and/or there is a corrupt system file that manages wifi settings that I need to delete. I already deleted the file that contained all my saved network data, and no change. However, upon deleting Google Hangouts from my phone I have seen an improvement in my wifi performance. It always stays connected when I'm at home now and my weather widget updates normally again, and didn't before I removed it, hence my suspicious this has something to do with a previous app that I installed and removed. I've already cleared app caches in the past with no luck, as well as the caches I can access in the recovery menu.
So, my questions. Are there any specific locations in my file system I should check for remnants of past installations, and also, are there any files related to wifi that I can safely delete in order to purge my wifi of all settings, and start fresh? Thanks!

now ive tried many key words and phrases to search, maybe im just searching wrong or something but i cant find any fix to this yet im sure others have experienced it.
basically my data keeps turning on every 10 minutes or so after i switch it off. no programs are running, weather not set to update, youtube hasnt been set to login and neither has twitter, activesync set to usb. the only home screen tabs i have are messages, internet, photos&vid, and weather. time isnt set to update via internet. auto update of database within the data connection are turned off, auto config turned off
im on the verge of hard resetting.
not sure, but maybe WMLongLife could help to identify the culprit, as with each new connection it asks you to define connection type/access
go to settings tab / more / connections / connections / advanced / choose networks -> programs with automatic internet access use: set to "firmennetzwerk" (i guess its work network or something similar).
now your phone doesnt connect data anymore..
if you want to connect it again, you have to change that again..

Did you uncheck "My Location"?
have you tried the "no data.cab" file works for me
yea ive looked into the above solutions but didnt want anything semi-permanent.
ironically i soft reset the device about 4 times within 30min and its back to normal now...go figure.
Search for dialup enablerdisabler. Install it first thing after a new Rom. Goto start find it and disable data once and for all

Hi,
I am wondering if there is an application out there that will log my activity so I can see what services or applications ran that day.
The reason for asking is that I suddenly developed an issue a few weeks ago where the data connection will, apparently randomly, turn itself on. I haven't ever been lucky enough to catch it right when the data comes on, and when I check task manager I don't see any applications running to cause it. I am thinking I maybe either inherited a virus at some point, or I have an application that is attempting to update itself or something. But I haven't installed anything for months so it could be any old program. I checked scheduled tasks but don't see anything there.
I have done 'the usual' of making sure weather, stocks, email are not causing it.
Many thanks in advance for any help or ideas.

Turn off "My Location"
Thanks for the reply. I'm assuming you mean 'my location' in google maps? When I manually click 'my location' it doesn't turn my data on (TMobile HTC TP2). Are you suggesting it actually can turn data on in some background mode? I thought it got the information from cell locations, no?

Yes, info from cell locations(data).
Start/Settings/Personal/Phone/GSM Services(CDMA for some)/Location Setting
It's used for Google, HTC weather updates, location on home screen, etc
tyvm. First of all, DUH!, I was attached to activesync when I tested it, so that's why it didn't connect to data.
When I follow your steps I don't see anything about 'my location' (WM6.1 TMobile) after Start/Settings/Personal/Phone. I have a tab just called 'services', but it's not in there. But anyway, I went to googlemaps and there I had the option to disable my location, so I am assuming that does the same thing. I'll leave that off for a few days and see if that solves the problem.
Many thanks again for taking the time to respond.
Unfortunately the 'my location' wasn't the problem as the data came back on again today.
I think the best way to resolve it is going to be the log file, so...
Is there any application out there that can log activity on the phone, i.e. that can tell me which applications, services and processes ran during the day?
Thanks very much.
Get SPB Wireless Monitor-it logs all data usage (3g, wifi, active sync, whatever). The demo is fully loaded.
TYVM! Can't wait for my rogue program to run again
I have an Evo 3D.
This is driving me nuts, I seem to be unable to download app updates anymore. It attempts to download forever, the progress staying at zero, and eventually gives me error 495.
I tried Googling this, and attempted every solution I could find. I tried signing in and out of my google account, clearing the cache of ALL my apps, rebooting my phone, turning off my WiFi, and clearing more space. Nothing worked.
It appears there's something wrong with the Google Play service, I can't download any apps when connected to Wifi, and there are others having the same issue.
I have had this issue for a long time now. I just used to decide that I'll wait till i get home and download over WiFi (which worked).
But that's not a solution!!!
On my JellyBean One X:
1. Go to Settings
2. In Wireless and Networks, tap on More
3. Select Usage
4. Tap on Menu in top-right corner and make sure Restrict background data is not ticked
5. Also, uncheck Limit mobile data usage (a message appears saying that all background data restrictions will be disabled).
It is the background data restriction that causes this issue (atleast for me).
I had done the whole shabang:
Clear google play cache, data, etc. re-login with Google account, reboot, etc.
Hello xda
I own a year and a half old rooted Galaxy Star S5280
Today I rebooted my phone to find that my network icons were, well, messed up.
(Since new users are unable to post links, including images, I changed my profile picture to a screenshot.)
It is showing the EDGE icon, but it doesn't indicate when data is being used, and the icon which usually indicates that I am not connected to a network is also there. ( ⃠)
But, as shown when I pull down the status bar, I am connected to a network (Cell C), and I can confirm that my mobile data
and network is working perfectly.
Activity before this happened:
Rebooted phone after XPrivacy permission changes on some system apps, no permissions that restricted or blocked UI or network
(except location) were blocked.
Afterwards I unblocked ALL permission restrictions on system apps with XPrivacy. Rebooted my phone, found the problem still
there, so I disabled XPrivacy in the XPosed app, and rebooted again. Same results. I also then tried to install a custom icon pack
using ROM Toolbox. No change, so I reverted back to stock icons again with a backup (which I always had, except the battery icon,
and it has been on and working for a long time, during many reboots).
So, can anyone help me here?
If you need any more info, just ask.
Hi to all!
I have the Global Rom, as far as I know!
The phone is in original state, no unlocked boot, no root, no nothing!
Since it updated to the MIUI 10, I get a "malfunction" in the app update, whether it's thru the PlayStore or the MIUI's updating app.
When it senses Wi-Fi, the apps to be updated starts to loop between the "Downloading" and "Waiting" states, but none of them really starts the updating process.
And this is running in background, consuming the battery very rapidly!
In the PlayStore, I can stop the updating procedure, wait a few moments and click to update and then all goes well.
In the MIUI app, I can't do the same because, no matter how many times I click to stop, it doesn't and I can't kill the process.
The only way to stop it, is to shutdown the WiFi. But, as soon as I turn it on, resumes it's strange behaviour.
Would it be because I have a VPN connection always on?
Does anyone has the same problem?
As anyone solved it? How?
After digging a while, I've came to the following conclusions:
-the Xiaomi's update app, for their own apps, doesn't work with a VPN; I need to disconnect from the VPN and allow it to update on "normal" WiFi;
-the PlayStore does work, if I proceed like I've mention before;
Is this normal? Can I correct this privacy problem?

I´m not familiar at all with this kind of issues, I just think you could start;
- By checking your region from additional settings so miui has different policies for some of them and I guess the apps are slightly different for some countries.
- If your VPN has random locations then this doesn´t match with your region settings.
- Clearing cache and data in updater and downloader manager apps.
- Giving only permissions as your convenience to these two apps.
- Like last resort formatting data in stock recovery.
