Hello all. I have an annoying problem with my Samsung GT-I9300. I installed several ROMs (Omega v49, 50 and 52) and even on another stock ROM I have the same problem - i don`t receive notifications on mobile data for any application (WhatssApp, Facebook etc.), only on WIFI. Anyone can help me with this problem, please? Thank you very much!

Applications can cause you have a unexpectedly large phone bill by using mobile data continuously so they tend not to use it. Its possible there is an option inside the app. Do check if your mobile data is working i.e. you can load webpages on it etc and contact your service provider if it isnt. Another possibility is your mobile net is very slow

Thanks for your answer. I searched all this and the mobile data is working ok. When I installed SlimRom, the notifications were ok, but with any other Rom they are not. Thank you!

Just hit the thanks button mate Its possible the issue is rom specific. You can also try unsyncing facebook/whatsapp and syncing them AGAIN while only connected to mobile internet.

Hey all,
I am a previous Galaxy S user and now have the S III. I know my way around Android OS but am STUMPED here!
When wi-fi is OFF (mobile network), Google Play store wont render any images whatsoever. I can still get to apps, read description and buy them, but no images. Every now and then I get a "Error: no connection" error when previewing an app but when I retry it works (still no images though) - "Couldn't load Screenshots - retry"
The same is true for Foursquare and one or two other apps. I am not in a bad area - perfect reception and HSDPA.
Twitter and others do not have this problem, but the apps that do experience it are doing so continuously and without fail. I can not stop it happening, unless using Wi-Fi, which is not so often as I am moving around a lot.
I have cleared cache/data from several applications in the list, restarted phone etc etc.. I am avoiding having to do a hard reset here as much as possible as I have to travel this week and do not have time to re-do my all my apps etc etc..
Is there a way to clear DNS cache or something on these phones? It seems as though when using regular mobile network, certain apps get stuck and can't receive certain data while others have no issues whatsoever.
Please help guys - any suggestions are much appreciated!!
Thanks,
Wit
Same problem man tried everthing I've managed to find. Not much on the issue the issue though.

Change the dns settings. For wifi it's in wifi in settings then press the bottom left capacitive button on the phone and edit it. I'm guessing mobile network is also more or less the same.
Use 8.8.8.8 . Always works

SUCCESS!
Champion! That was it (sort of). Mobile settings > find your providers APN > clear Proxy settings. Using google public dns 8.8.8.8 anyways - dont trust these people

Broken proxy - seems to affect all android users - since APRIL. typical.
tx buffguy!
Typical. I work at one of the SA networks. Lol let's not get into which, but this isn't the first time they missed something like this when approving firmware, and you think call centre support would know about it. Half of them run a blank when you say "Ice Cream Sandwich ". Thanks to both of you though.

I had this problem. Try this
Settings - More settings - Mobile Networks - Access Point Names
Then make sure you are set to Internet and not WAP
eg Mine is Orange UK Internet and I was set Orange UK WAP and it was causing images errors and all sorts
I hope this solves it for you
Cheers mate tryed that and its worked

Sent me mental when I 1st had my S3. It worked fine with my O2 SIM and on Orange it only loaded a few images on each page.
Finally found that setting as its been fine since.
It seems like the phone defaults to Orange WAP and not Internet. The O2 SIM caused a pop-up asking me which mode I wanted to use
Just told the mrs to do the same to her s3 lol and she sends a big thanks to you

Hey guys,
I did whatever is written here, cleaned the data, cache everything also..
Only thing I didn't do I guess was uninstalling the updates of the google play, still not loading the screenshots on 3g.
I use vodafone india, my friends whomever is uaong vodafone seems to have the same problem with 3g too.
Well we did clean the proxy and we did make the dns 8.8.8.8 nothing seems to be working...
I use galaxy note, with 4.0.4 ics.
Please try to help me... I wasn't able to find any solution for this yet till now...

Hey buddy.
Wish I could give you a finite solution but I never really came right with this until I installed a custom Rom on my phone. Running stock I always had issues with the images in the play sore. I'm with Vodacom down here so dunno if it's network related.
If you go with a custom Rom I highly recommend the final ICS FoxHound 1.4.4 release. Been through many roms and this is by far the best as a daily runner.
Hope you come right man!

Hi buddy,
If you haven't found any solution yet:
I too am using Vodafone Mumbai network and started facing this problem quite recently (could have been just after I flashed LI5 ROM).
Anyway I scoured the net for solutions and found nothing that helped. So through some trial and error I found this solution:
Go to APN screen where you should have two APNs: "www" and "portalnmms".
Hit menu button and click on "Reset to defaults".
Then select "portalnmms" as the default APN.
Solved all issues for me!
I am having this exact same issue. Using Vodafone 3G in Mumbai on a Samsung Galaxy Note 2. Tried to set "portalnmms" as default APN but can't. Tried changing the "www" proxy to 8.8.8.8 but that didn't work at all. Is there a solution here?
8.8.8.8 is a dns server (powered by Google) not http proxy. You must either use your carrier's proxy settings or leave it blank

Hi I'm havin a problem with the location services when using mobile networks. Sometimes, google maps can't give me my location and it will show, location is temporarily unavailable. Any ideas why? Gps works fine but it only works when there's a clear view of the sky. My iPhone can show my location all the time whenever I request it like Facebook check in etc.

Ok now maps is working fine with mobile networks but the only problem left is applications like Facebook/weather using mobile networks to attain the location. Any ideas?
Bump... Anyone facing this issue too?
the location/gps in this phone is pathetic.. i try to "locate" in weather app and it's using data/cellular to show location and it's wrong, it looks like it's using the cell tower as my position.. i don't understand why this phone needs data to locate a position.. isn't that what GPS is for?
even my old windows touch pro 2 found location without using internet data and it was very accurate.
Okay guys, silly old me. Dont disable background data for google services if you want it to work!

I can't find the setting to renable the background data services. How is this done?

Hi guys,
My phone *was* fine. Now I have a strange problem. Have tried google-ing every combo and nothing. Hope someone can help.
When using wifi everything is great. But when I am outside my home and using mobile data I can use my browser just fine and most apps work. BUT any app that uses Google or banks, in short any app that needs a secure connection, has no access.
I have even factory reset and re flashed and no success.
Any ideas ?

Hi,
On friday I installed this rom,i did all wipes etc . All was OK and now it works fine ... but i have a question.
On Settings / Data Network Usage , i have a big data statistic.
If you can see on attached Image it says i have downloaded 1GB in 3 days!
800MB Using Google Play .. (i haven´t done any App Update using my 3G network)
It says i have 500MB using Twitter!! (I am not a Twitter addict!)
304MB using Facebook ..
Could this be a bug on data network counter? I check my data traffic on my 3G carrier webpage and "aparently" i haven´t download 1GB of traffic.
Thanks
I'd say after you made all the necessary wipes , you've signed in to your google account which restored automatically all of your apps from the play store and that's the source.
cheers.

yes. as already mentioned, some or almost all custom roms download apps from your play account automatically after your first login. facebook and twitter might be syncing everything all the time. so you better restrict data usage. good luck.
First of all thanks sriram231092 and eytan123 for your answers.
As i said I didn´t do any update over 3G or any restore Backup over 3G ... All backup restored were made over Wifi
When i flashed the rom and i logon for the first time ... i was connected to a wifi just to download all my apps etc etc
I have flashed different roms other times and never seen this and thats the reason that i am surprised with this issue.
Thanks a lot.

well that even shows data through wifi i think! anyhow when you click on the app like seen in the image , you will get an option to restrict background data. once you check it, you may observe the difference. good luck :good:
I concur^
just a minor addition you may choose whether to show WIFI usage with the menu button.
Check on your carriers website and look at what your 3g usage is if it says you havent used as much as what the phone does then its most likely a bug. And if it does say youve used all that data then it will be what the guys above are saying
Hi Ryanscobberwash
as i write on the first post .. i checked this option (confirm on carriew webpage my data Traffic) and "aparently" is OK .. i haven´t download this traffic
I would like to ask this on Supernexus 2.0 I9300 post .. but i can´t because i have only 2 post written :'(
Thanks!

I have the same issue on a Galaxy S2. I'm pretty sure it's a display bug. I vaguely remember reading this was fixed in some other mod, perhaps CM.

Hi guys,
My dad has a C5 Ultra and for some strange reason, the data turns on briefly and shuts down again. Is there a way to stop this. He is charged 0.04 Paise every time this happens. And It happens every half an hour.

Turn location off , strange app uses packet data even if it is off or you are connected to wifi

I simply removed all the VPN saved. It helped. But now I won't be able to connect to the internet at all. That's fine with me. You can try what the above user has suggested ...try to shut Location. See if it works.
Thanks.
I had this issue, turns out it was an app from the carrier that forces to connect through mobile data connection to check for status or something.
I just uninstall the app and use their mobile web instead, it's been fine since

thank u so much all of your suggestion i've done and successfull blocking any mobile data internet from my phone
and i added restriction app background data each running apps that consume internet through mobile data,:victory::victory:
During set up you are asked if you would like to allow apps to access to data even when turned off you need to un-check that option.
