My phone does not show the mobile data icon in the status bar to show whether I am connected or not, even if I have my wifi turned off. I know I am connected to mobile data but I can't tell when my phone switches between wifi/data, if I have connection problems or if I am connected to 4G or not.
Anyone has any ideas how to fix?
I have H960 model
Thanks!
Have there been a fix on this? This just happened to me recently. Had the wifi on for the apps to update before taking a nap. Next thing I know mobile data on the status bar isn't showing anymore when I have my mobile data. Doesn't affect the functionality, it's just annoying that I have to swipe down the notif bar if I have it on everytime.

is there a way I can put a data toggle in the notification bar?
i tried APNdroid, but it isn't working on disabling data connection.
What solutions do you guy use?
Thanks
I have not yet seen anything that works for data toggling on the top notification bar.
My best solution would be to use something like 'extended controls' where u can customize a power widget so u can toggle data, wifi, tether etc. - even works with cameraflash for flashlight.

I use this as a switch for everything.
I use to also use quicksettings, its a great toggle too.
Yeah, I use quick settings. One of the things I miss about miui.
To toggle data usage, you could just use your power button. Keep hold of the power button and wait for pop up menu, you can then activate or de-activate from there. It can be done from anywhere in the phone.

Is this data connection part of your network providers internet usage they give you or something else?

This is the 3G data that you get through your mobile phone connection.
Note that if you turn off the network data connection, you might not be able to receive MMS. You can still receive SMS though.
3 out of 4 times my phone fails to disconnect the mobile data network when I connect to WiFi. This is draining my battery unnecessarily.
What could be causing this unless I can fix it so it is automatic I will have to stop using wifi so it doesn't waste power keeping both connections going.
I am running a 2.3.6 rom.
Do you toggle the connections or just enable/disable WiFi? When you enable WiFi and connects, does the 3G icon (the two arrows) appear next to the WiFi icon?
my phone does both I have a program that shuts it completely off when I go to work then back on when i get home based on time.the rest of the time it is on even if I go away which then it just disconnects but wifi is still on.
I have not paid enough attention to when it happens but when it does I have both the wifi icon and the data arrows at the same time.

I think you just answered your own question
What program are you using? Might a suggest a change for Juice Defender for example? or many others that do the same thing...
Hello everyone,
Today I flashed the newer I9100XWLP8_I9100XSALP4 (coming from the old LPQ firmware) FW, doing a factory reset/wipe and cache wipe.
I did this with the hope the wi-fi not working / not coming up from sleep problems would go away, and although I haven't tested more extensively, it seems they have.
However, I am noticing now that the wi-fi icon is not showing activity when I know I'm using the Internet (normally you see the down/up arrows blink). Any ideas why? I know it's not a live or dead situation, but I'm curious as to why this happens. It is also not cool when you have internet issues and you don't know if you are actually transmitting or not (useful to detect your modem is down for example).
The data icon does not seem to be affected by this problem as when I turn off the wi-fi, and the data icon appears, I can see the download/upload arrows flashing showing data transmission.
Thanks for your help
Hey everyone!
So i was just wondering, does anyone elses phone display 2g/4g/lte on the status bar even when they have their mobile data turned off? I'm not sure if something is wrong with my phone.. All of my previous android phones would not display any mobile data connections when it was turned off. As of right now, wifi is turned on but mobile data is not and it still shows 2g (from my house) on the status bar. Thanks for answering!
Do you have mobile data turned off? Or do you just mean that it should be because wi-fi is on? If mobile data is off I've never seen it stay on for more than a few seconds. But I have seen it turn on when wi-fi is also on for mms or something.

I have a new gear s on Verizon and have found the battery life very variable for lack of a better description. It appears the Verizon version does not display the same info in the moments bar as the Samsung manual shows or as I have seen on other carriers versions. I ask because my battery life in auto connect verses always off is a major difference even when connected to the phone via Bluetooth. It almost appears the 3G/4G is always on in the auto setting. worse case connected to the phone "note 4" via Bluetooth and network in auto I was getting 7 hours from 100% to 15% battery. If I turn the network off in the same situation I got over 40 hours and still had 25% battery left. Does anyone know if the Verizon version actually turns the network on/off in auto mode? Since they don't display this information in the moments bar you don't know if you are on, off or remotely connected. The 3G by the signal strength bar graph is always on whether you are on or in auto mode. Thanks for any help you might have.
I have the Verizon version also. When I'm by my phone Bluetooth automatically turns on and 3g turns off and vice versa. I had problems with it not automatically switching 3g off so I ran clean master from the Samsung store(made for Samsung phones) and ever since then it always works with auto connect

Thank you for your response. I tried your suggestion but can see no immediate difference. If I may ask how do you know 3G/4G is turning on and off? On my watch the Bluetooth symbol in the moments bar will change either having the additional white triangles on each side when connected. The 3G/4G and signal strength bar graph is always there in the on or the auto. Only off will make them disappear. Thanks.

The 3g disappears and turns off the cell radio then connects to my phone Bluetooth. Double check your settings under connections, then mobile networks, make sure gear network is set to auto switch

Thank you once again for the information. I pretty sure mine is not working as it should. I have the 3G and signal strength bar graph if the mobile network is on or in auto phone connected Bluetooth and inches away. You need something to know if its on or off as you stated 3G there or off. The weird thing is with the network in auto and Bluetooth connected I put the phone in airplane mode then tried making a call from the watch. It would not do it. The 3G was there telling me the network is on but not making phone calls. I tried sending a text to the watch phone number with the network off and as expected it didn't come through even connected to the phone via Bluetooth. If the network is in auto and connected to phone via Bluetooth the text to watch phone number will come through. I'm guessing to get calls or texts to the watch phone number the network must be on. I'm curious if yours behaves as mine does. I have had the note 4 since January and its getting pretty cluttered with stuff plus add the lollypop update to the mix. I have tried a hard rest on the watch and think I'm going to do the same to the phone to clean house and try from scratch. Thanks again.
