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.
. Plz help
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.

It seems that Samsung Dive only works on my sgs2 when either the wifi or the network data mode is enabled on the device. What's worse is that if the "Wireless Networks / View Location in Maps" option is disabled, it will ask to be enabled while tracking the device.
Practically making Samsung Dive uesless.
Is there a fix for this? I've flashed a few ROMs but I'm back on stock, I never had this problem before flashing ROMs. Thanks.

I'm curious how you expect it to work without some kind of data connection.
Regarding your point about being asked for permission, if on KK5 at least, if you freeze the Network Location apk (com.google.android.location), the prompt does not appear and it does not seem to inhibit your ability to use GPS correctly.

Sorry if I made myself unclear, what I mean is that the user has to manually enable wifi or 3g to be able to use SD. So if the phone is lost, there's nobody there to enable 3g/wifi, so SD won't work.
You weren't unclear. How would you like it to communicate with the phone with no data connection?

Before I flashed ROMs SD would activate my 3g (when it was already off), then activate my wireless networks / location option, ten activate my GPS, then find my device. But now all it does is sits there, trying to connect, until i manually enable wifi or 3g, which it will then ask me to enable my wireless netoworks / location, and then it doesn't do anyting.
OP, you make no sense. You didn't answer to oinkylicious's question: how can SD reach your phone if it can't connect to it? It's almost impossible, so yes, someone has to be there to enable data or wifi. It was always like this and it will always be like this with the current technology .
About manually activating the tracking system, I also have my doubts. I only tried this several months ago, but then it showed my location without asking me to enable tracking. I'm on CM7 now, so I can't test it.
Alternatives: theft aware can do the same thing (now quite good, but it works) via SMS. You just send the code to your phone, and it gives you the location.

What would the person use the phone for then? I actually don't think that a thief would have the slighest idea that he/she should turn data off.

You still haven't answered my question. Also, could you provide some proof that this works on the other phone with all forms of data turned off, as it intuiges me.
If it works on an older ROM, revert until "fixed". If it doesn't, use an app controlled via SMS.

Knowing people who live on a council estate talking about disabling the internet on a phone or turning it off and flogging it on ebay leads me to believe different. That aware theft thing that works via SMS sounds a lot better

Hy, did you find a solution, i was thinking to register to samsung dive but found out about this problem. Does somebody really neads to turn on data manually for it to work? Thats just plain useless. If i lost it somewhere who will enable it, or if somebody took it i have to pray for them to enable data, lol.
P.S. Im also on custom rom.

Yeah I use theft aware, but you can get it free with the avast antivirus app. It's controlled by texts, and it has a lot more features than dive, wipe protection, etc.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
Avast anti-theft is really nice. I'm using it also, but it's still beta, and has some serious bugs sometimes.
So back to your original question, I think we can call it BUSTED. There's no way for Samsung to activate data connection on your phone if it's turned off manually
Hi everyone. I have recently bought Galaxy S3 and i have a whatsapp connection issue. Not always but sometimes, when i opened whatsapp, it takes long time (1-2 mins) to connect. Also sometimes when i tried to text someone it will send the message 1-2 later.
Also sometimes, i received some massages with 3-4 mins delay, i think it is because the same problem at above.
In settings, 3G is enabled also. I didnt recognize any other problem like this yet(browser etc) related with this situation. I havent any problem like this on my old phone (iphone)
Thanks for your replies...
Thats not the app, its your internet connection....restart your router

So you cannot solve the situation =(( This problem annoying me a lot..
I observed something yesterday. I enabled wifi and tried my whatsapp lots of time. The connection problem NEVER occured.
Also this morning i realize that when i sent the message and when it is waiting to send (like there is a connection problem), i checked the server status of whatsapp on application, and it says fine/server is ok. Also as "mrbubba999" said while it is waiting, i can use my browser to reach internet and there is no problem with it.
I hope the problem is related with to the whatsapp servers/application or smt like that...

From what I understood, the issues did not occur on wifi? Check your apn settings with your telco provider. May be a damaged sim card too.
The issue does not lie with WhatsApp as I just used it almost extensively everyday and there's no delay. Also, wifi does not cause any issues so it's definitely something to do with your data

Have you tried to change the connection port? There is an option in settings, where you can change the port if you have connection issues.

If there is problem on apn settings or sim card, how can i browse on the internet without any problem. Also while my message is waiting to send, i checked the server status of whatsapp but it says fine always immediately.
it happens,it goes. best way is to check whatsapp status on twiter,they have problems sometimes,it's not always the phone's fault

For WiFi I use an app from the play store called REGPON wifi KeepAlive and it solved the problem for me. I don't have any problem with mobile data connection.
Android has a built in wifi sleep policy, but not every phone backend allows you to modify it. If your device is rooted, you can try an app such as Spare Parts+ from the Play store, it has an option to set your sleep policy. I have used it on several devices, my One X+ included.

Now that I am rooted I am trying the method in that thread, so far it is working and is better than using an app to do it.
REGPON works like a charm, and I am unrooted.
I think that thread deals with it going to sleep between 12-7am whereas my problem was EVERYTIME the screen turned off when I turn the screen back on it will reconnect.
I have NOT had a problem since I switched to REGPON.

Just a follow up to this, WiFi still dropped so back to REGPON WiFi Keep Alive for me.
unfortunately , REGPON is not helping .. still the signal drop off .. but less frequently i would say
Any new solutions for this?
It's extremly annoying!
I tried:
1. Regpon
2. that nice trick, by deactivating smartsync at all with system tools ()
3. Smartsync disabler [APP]
4. Spare parts [APP]
5. Terminal Emulator
There has to be a solution for that.
I would like to keep this topic up, until there comes up a working solution

I'm suffering from frequent mobile data disconnection problems. The wifi is working well. but when I turn on the mobile data, the data connection will be working for couple of minutes and then turns off automatically, showing the data balance pop up. The same happens when I switch from one app to another. Please help
I did the factory reset too. Sim card is working fine on other phones.
Why 3 identical posts in half an hour ????

Anyone else have an issue switching from Wi-Fi to mobile data? When I leave the house and turn off Wi-Fi, the mobile data will light up the indicator and have a good signal, but actual internet use acts like there's no connection. I have to disable mobile data, then enable it again to get anything to work.
This is using the Verizon version, and I also recall this happening on my V20. I had hoped this would've been resolved at some point.
I am having the opposite issue. When I don't have WiFi on and try to turn it on, the blue indicator lights up and then abruptly turns off.
The only way I have found to get around this is to tap on Wi-Fi and while it's lit, restart the phone all together. Then when it powers up, it will connect.
I'm having this problem I have to restart the phone for the internet to work again. I'm on the T-Mobile version

I was restarting as well, but found simply turning mobile data off and on would get it working again. Not a fix, but saves a little time.
