Hi
Sorry for this 'weak' problem description: I'm using 'MySMS' (sync with pc) and Google docs, which both are unreliable on mobile data, but works on wifi.. What can I check?
More :
Docs/Sheets often reports "Unable to open the document right now" (or thereabouts).
MySMS does not sync - send or receive the texts from/to pc - when the phone is in standby/screen off/sleep mode or whatever that should be called. I then have to wake and open the app (sometimes even press Manual Sync) to force the communication active.
On wifi both works, so I feel it's something with the phones 'data deafness'/inactivity, not the apps' fault..?
Data roaming is On. Restrict background data is Off .... Rest of the phones functions seems fine.
TIA
Situation still like this - noone has any suggestions for improving this?
Thanks...

Hi Guys,
I am just trying to disable / enable 3G mobile data connection automatically, and tried several apps from play store and all of the apps were not able to control mobile data. I see the following error message when running logcat on terminal:-
E/connectivityService(501): warning, forbidden third-party APP to active mobile data connection
- I am using Gfive G9 mobile running android 4.2.1
- I can manually turn on and off 3g mobile data connection using quick launch button - no problem
- Data connection is working when it is turned on - no issue
- But i need to use third party app (like llama, or Data on-off) to control my data connection when screen off or match configured rules but none of the application seems to control data connection due to above error.
- I am not using any other app as a firewall to restrict communication with data connection.
Just wondering if anybody has came across with the issue before?
Any help please?
Thanks in advance
[Q] Set. Mobile Network -> "Enable always-on mobile data" CM11 (Phoning Home)
Hi,
seems that since Android 4.0 the setting Menu -> Settings -> Mobile Network -> "Enable always-on mobile data" is no longer available (or was this an HTC setting?). Is there a substitute or was it simiply forgotten to transfer to 4.0? My problem is that even with no apps running (and no traffic in netlog viewer)Android is establishing a internet connection as soon as I turn mobile data on:
- Steps to reproduce the problem
1. Disable Auto-Sync & enable background data restriction
2. Disable Wifi, disable mobile data
3. Enable mobile data
- What happened.
1. Internet connection is established directly, no data is transferred (only keep alive packages are sent)
- What you think the correct behavior should be.
1. Internet connection should only be established when needed (many users pay for every connection attempt)
I have a Samsung Galaxy S4, but it also happens on a Alcatel Idol Mini (Android 4.2.2) and another low end phone.
According to forums and blogs, the option was confirmed for Android 2.3. It's pictured here: " guides.virginmedia.com/en/topic/htc_sensationxe/how_do_i_disable_and_enable_data_services.html ".
BTW: I disabled all server-driven notifications (mail sync, time sync). Even used AFWFirewall/Droidwall, Xposed Framework & Xprivacy. All showed no data packages traffic, however as soon as mobile data was turned on I got the "connection keep alive" headers from com.qualcomm.timeservice. However, none of the tools were able to stop or log the initial header requests, before com.qualcomm.timeservice got active. So I assume it's a kernel / root android system application.
Would be great if someone has more infos. Are all Androids establishing a connection directly after mobile data was enabled?
Attached is the connection log from AFWFirewall. Seems that com.qualcomm.timeservice is involved and phoning home. What's frightening is that it connects to 173.194.32.238, which seems to be a facebook IP:
How can we block that crap?
Anyone who is using CM and using mobile data who can confirm or falsify here?
According to Google this is not about Android, but it would be great to know if this happens for CM in general, just the S4 build or just Qualcomm devices.

So there's noone of the many users in this subforum who is using Cynogenmod and could verify if the phone trys to establish an internet connection when mobile data is being turned on (showing an E or G at the right upper corner)?
Hello, I need some advice on an app.
I have constantly the data connection turned off and when I need I active it. As I'm often on the pc all important notifications (eg. Viber, Gmail, etc.) I control in real-time via the corresponding desktop applications available for PC but I miss notifications WhatsApp is not available as a desktop version (ok, there is a version that includes wifi active but is not the same thing as Viber for example).
Obviously enough I every X number of hours active the data connection to see if there is a notification but was looking for something more advanced, especially looking app that automatically every 30 minutes active data connection and control me ONLY notifications WhatsApp and that's because I do not care to have other notifications (eg. Viber, Gmail, etc.), I see already from PC. If I have to manually turn on the data connection (eg. I'm at the PC) then I want you to be shown all the notifications.
Is there an app like this?
hey all. in need of some assistance
i have an h830 running on cricket
i cannot access any google services while connected to mobile data (gmail, play store, drive/docs, etc). works fine over wifi
all other connections (web browsing, ssh, remote desktop) work fine, it's just google services
i don't think this has anything to do with cricket, as i don't have this problem on any other phone if i swap the sim card out
i'm running this deodexed nougat 20f build https://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-lg-g5/development/jan-17-2017-20c-deodexed-kernels-t3539611
though, i do have a 20a stock rooted nandroid backup which has the same problem
i have tried:
restarting, toggling data on/off
force stopping and clearing cache/data of all google services/apps/download manager/"media" app, restarting
wiping cache/dalvik
trying with battery saver on and off
making sure google play services and "media" service both have the following CHECKED/on: "background data" and "unrestricted data usage"
making sure "limit mobile data" is NOT checked
edit: and everything in this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3/help/play-store-downloading-nougat-update-t3530277
to top it all off, i even tried setting up an openVPN server and a shadowsocks server (similar to VPN, traffic tunneled through encrypted socks5 connection). again, while connected to either VPN/shadowsocks through wifi, google services work. when on mobile data, it doesn't work (in both cases i confirmed i am still connected to the VPN as far as the outside world is concerned)
since it doesn't work even over VPN, i feel like it must have to do with some mobile data restriction setting somewhere
anyways, i'm baffled. unusable for me as a daily device without gmail/google services working over mobile data
so maybe this could help someone diagnose the issue:
it is resolved, temporarily, if i toggle to 4g/HSPA+ only mode (settings -> mobile data -> mobile networks -> "GSM/WCDMA"). it is still fixed if i toggle back to LTE
i'm not quite sure what causes it to "break" again. maybe when i connect back to wifi, or change cell towers, i dunno. but it always breaks again (all internet things work except anything related to google services) and i have to perform the toggle again
just to be clear, toggling airplane mode does NOT work. i specifically have to go to 4g/HSPA+ mode, then google services start working, and they keep working if i toggle back to GSM/WCDMA/LTEauto mode - until it stops working again for whatever reason
so... any ideas for a resolution?
if not, anyone know a way i can easily add the ability to toggle modes as a shortcut? thanks
edit: used quickShortcutMaker to at least add a shortcut to that screen, but if anyone knows a scripting tool or something i can use to directly toggle and cut out that step, much appreciated
I have exactly the same problem. Can someone revisit this issue and offer some ideas? Thanks.
same exact thing on the h830 i bought for a friend. she's on cricket and lte refused to work with google play (wi-fi is fine). did the toggle to hspa and everything worked, so i switched it to lte and it's still working.
i don't want to root it and delete the hosts file from the system, but that's what i think the real fix is.
I've had this problem for many months on my Samsung S7 (it suddenly appeared). Now that I've bought an S10e I'm very displeased to have the same exact problem again. I didn't transfer anything from the S7 (knowingly. Perhaps some Google/Samsung auto-restoration of settings without my knowledge). The S10e was installed from scratch AFAIK.
Problem:
On the Gmail app downloading attachments on WiFi works fine. On mobile data it never works. It does nothing at all. Hitting preview continuously shows a 0% progress bar.
All other things work without issue on mobile data: Sending and receiving mail, browsing, navigation, YouTube, etc. is normal. Only Gmail attachments don't download...
I don't have adblockers or antivirus. Everything is updated. Gmail isn't on the background data restriction, nor do I use that function.
I tried the private DNS function, that didn't help either. Clearing the app cache and app data didn't help either.
+ VPN.
I spent some hours testing, and most of the time with an active OpenVPN tunnel (all traffic redirect through tunnel) to my home or to my office it works! The moment I disconnect the VPN, it stops working.
(Seems also to work on a LT2P Ipsec tunnel).
Some kind of DNS issues?
I have an older Motorola and an older Sony phone which don't show this problem, so it's not stemming from my Gmail account or my provider.
What can I try to fix this problem?
