Data usage question - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4

I have a galaxy s4.. with verizon. Not rooted. Everything stock.
I was looking at my data use on my phone. It says the thing that is using the most data is Tethering and it uses 1.07GB in background.
How do I turn that off? I.dont even use tethering. on my. phone. My phone is using a lot of data and I.dont have unlimited...

Are you checking the phones data usage app? If I'm not mistaken it shows both WiFi and mobile data together. Check your my Verizon app and see what it says.

I just tried wifi again,and it does work on wifi. I must not have had a good wifi signal when I tried it before. Still doesn't work with data only though.

You'd need a phone like the thunderbolt to talk and surf without wifi

Seriously? CDMA phones, like the Fascinate, are not equipped to do data and voice simultaneously. You'd have to get a 4G phone.
Until more CDMA phones get the proper hardware/software that allow you to use 2 radio connections simultaneously or until 4G covers everything and Verizon starts using voice over LTE, this feature will not be vastly available.

Alternatively, you could hope that more phones use SVDO modems for CDMA, but since SVDO has been around for a while, and only the Thunderbolt has it afaik, that is probably useless as well.

Notifications not coming in on wifi

So I'm new to the Note 2 and when I'm at work I am connected to their wifi because my cell sign lapis horrible when I'm there. But when I get off, I seem to get all my push notifications all at once like they were waiting for me to get off wifi. Anyone know the reasoning behind this?

Maybe your phone is just using the WiFi connection without actually trying to use VZWs service because its so crappy.
If you're unlocked and have flashed a ROM then it could definitely be a ROM issue.

I'm currently running stock but plan on rooting tonight. My signal is really bad in the office so that may be the issue.

How to disable 4g, is there an app?

I've been having spotty 4g service in my area and its killing my battery. I used to use an app called phone info to switch back and forth on my s3.
That app is gone from the play store and a few I've tried haven't worked.
Is there an app people have had success with??

MMS only.

So I have no data plan but I can do picture messages. Sometimes especially when just flashing a new ROM the phone will use data before I can get WiFi or turn data off and data without a data plan is very expensive. So I was wondering of there was a way to break my data connection preferably though a flashable zip (if i hafta reflash it with every new rom so be it) so that it can only use data for mms? Maybe if I do something fancy with apn's? If it makes a difference I'm on T-Mobile.

Taking off the battery cover should work. All of the antennas are in the cover, so removing it should greatly reduce any signal strength and quality.
Well I still want to text and get MMS.

But nvm its okay T-Mobile just added 500 MBS of data free to my account so no problem anymore turns out that was what it used.

(Q) Connection to server lost YouTube mobile data only.

So on stock rooted 4.4.2 and all of a sudden over mobile data YouTube claims connection to server lost touch to retry. I've googled it and tried tons of things... I've wiped data on app and phone. WiFi works fine and its not my data speed. Any clues?
