"Mobile Data Enabled" notification.. ? - LG V30 Questions & Answers

I'm constantly getting a little popup on my LG V30 that says "Mobile Data Enabled".
I'm not doing anything to trigger this notification (like toggling airplane mod, Wi-Fi, etc).
It just pops up whenever it wants to. Its somewhat obnoxious, and I cant seem to find what is causing it.
Anyone have any ideas?

There's a setting in Wi-Fi section to turn mobile data on even if you're on Wi-Fi, in certain circumstances.
Your screenshot shows you're on Wi-Fi. So your mobile data wouldn't ordinarily it on, unless you have that option enabled. I suspect there's your culprit.

I'm not on Wi-Fi in the screenshot, been at work all day with Wi-Fi turned off :-/

Then it sounds like at some point, for some reason your mobile data is disabled. And you phone is now notifying you everything is OK again. Dead zone maybe?

I like the 4G lte logo better than the one on mine. Anyhow, your suggestion sounds like it could be it, although I must be going blind; I don't see a WI-FI indicator on his image.

No, you're right. I was apparently going crazy for a few seconds. I'm OK now.

I could see that, but I get solid service at work and home, and this is constantly popping up.
I never had this happen before I got the pixel 2 XL a couple weeks ago (it happened on that phone all the time as well), and when I switched to the V30 it's like this notification carried over lol. No idea what's going on.

Well, can't hurt to get a new one. Just to see if it's something with that. I've seen stranger issues fixed with a new SIM card.

[Q] Phone goes into "Emergency calls only" mode ?

It seems that everytime I plug my phone to the charger for few hours, it goes into Emergency calls only mode where I have no data and no calls incoming nor outgoing. Only way to solve it is to restart the phone or turn Airplane mode on and off to reset. Is this a common problem ? Could it have happened from unlocking my boot loader and rooting ?
I'm considering switching to the custom ROM "the base" in order to maybe solve this
Well I think this is new. Could just be a bad sim card. I don't have this problem and I haven't seen anyone else mention having it. I'd go to where ever I got it and have them swap the sim and if that didn't work the phone.
I would open the sd card/sim card cover and make sure sim is inserted fully. It should lock into place and need to be pushed in further to eject. I used a paperclip to push it in.

I actually had this happen to me like two days ago. I had just texted someone before walking to the lower level of a mall to go shopping. I took a look at my phone a little later and my phone was stuck on Emergency Calls with no data coming in. The carrier on the status bar wasn't even there anymore. Restarted my phone and all was fine. Not sure what caused it.
I've had this the last two days in areas I've always had great service. Wonder what's up with it.

Base rom has this enabled, or you need to be rooted and edit build prop.
I had this happen last week. I did the airplane mode toggle to clear it... but it freaked me out for a few minutes.
Running The Base, sk8r's kernel during install, no change to the LTE setting, no crazy mods applied.
I also sit in a nearly-dead-zone at work, and I have lost the data connection. Moving into the clear does not fix the issue. Reboot has been required.
This Android App Might Help
I had just the same problem with my Samsung Galaxy S2 with UK mobile provider Three.
I eventually wrote an app called which reconnects whenever it detects that the phone has got locked into Emergency Calls Only.
Maybe it will be of use to you. Search Google Play for "Cell Reconnect". Seems I'm not allowed to post links here yet...
Figured it out for my phone
I got a refurbished LG optimus G E970 from a seller online and had this issue the second day of using it. I checked to see if it was the SIM or SD card by putting them into my old phone, but that wasn't it because the old phone still functioned properly making calls/messages. I even did a factory reset on the phone. Still didn't work. I finally just decided to change the mobile networks to my provider's GSM network and it worked. Not sure why it didn't work in the first place since I never changed the network, but this did the trick.

Hello. Could you please elaborate on how you fix that issue? I'm currently on T-mobile and my unlocked AT&T LG E980 is losing signal like crazy, just briefly loses signal and goes into emergency mode only. It is so annoying though. Would really appreciate any insight on it. Thanks.

[Q] Cell Radio Cuts Out Completely

Hello!
I have a T-mobile Optimus L9 P769BK. I was on software revision G and I rooted it. Regardless, the problem started before I rooted it. My cell signal cuts out completely, the only way I can get it to come back is by rebooting the phone. Does anyone know where (and if) the android OS stores error logs? Also, is anyone else experiencing it?
I hope it's the SIM card and not the phone... We'll see.
Regards,
-Curly

That's not my problem. Intermittently, I get no bars, and an 'x' in the corner.
Still struggling
Logcat is great, but nothing is coming up as to why my cell reception cuts out.
It sounds like a bad sim. T-Mobile stores will give you a free one if you tell then that Tech Support told you to get one from the nearest store. Which is exactly what Tech Support will tell you. This way you save time not making the un-necessary call.

Something similar, had it in airplane mode, switched it off while at the gate and made 2 calls successfully. Notice in customs that I don't have a signal and figure maybe because they have jammers there for some reason. Get to airport doors and still no signal, had to call my hotel shuttle on my other phone. I rebooted the phone while on the shuttle and got proper signal again.

It's not the SIM card. I got a replacement from T-Mobile, still having the problem. Tried the replacement in an old phone and I don't see the problem.
I just got the phone back from LG. Let said it was a "Language Error" and they "Installed new software". I'm still seeing the problem.

This sucks that you are still having the same issue after 4 months. Try flashing one of the Jelly Bean KDZ files for the P769:

If that does not work I am not sure what else to try. It could be a network issue or the phone still has a hardware problem which would require LG to fix.

Native WiFI trick for s7 edge

If you have updated your phone like me and lost the native WiFi (grayed out apn type settings). One temporary fix is to restart your phone and when it comes back up the first thing you should do is turn on the hotspot before all of the services kick in. The only problem is that once you turn it off and need it again you will have to restart your phone again.
Hopes it works for you like it did for me.
I don't know if this has been said in a previous post.

If you get the 'no data connection' error,
just quickly turn off hotspot and turn on again.
This is all about timing,
turn on hotspot too quick after reboot and the data radios have not yet connected,
too long and the verify subscription kicks in.
there is a window inbetween that works.
This has been covered in other threads,
not my find,

+1 - I'm in the same exact boat
I need WiFi Tethering. Currently have a S5 that works great - but upgrade is coming next week. Deciding between S7 and LG G5 - but both seem to not have root available. I don't really care for root, but I must have WiFi tethering.
So does it work or not work for the S7? Any reasons to get the G5 instead?

S7 has root and you can get a unlocked hotspot
Sent from my SM-G930P using XDA-Developers mobile app
Good news I got my S7 and this Wi-Fi hotspot tethering still works. So I guess it will stay workinguntill the next update? I guess I should turn off my updates. This way I can wait a while before I have to try to root this new S7.
New Update
Does anyone know if the new update disables this hot spot workaround.? It still works without the update and no root.

I am here in the US and no update for me since 11/1. Latest version is G850UM10i
I also got v10c today. Im in US with unlocked phone.
Got the update yesterday, security patch update to Nov 1 2019, no noticeable change during normal usage
In Canada just got V10c-NOV-20-2019.
- Phone usability and functionality has been further improved.
Also got it. I have noticed my signal being absolutely terrible now. Idk if it's related or if there's issues with Bell near me but I am not overly happy about what's going on. I hope it's not related to the update. No way if really knowing right now. Trouble sending text messages and data issues even though it shows i have a good signal. It's driving me nuts right now
any of you guys know a site that actually has stock firmware? I gotta try and roll back from 10c. It's absolutely killing me using 10c. Gotta get off it!
I'm having the same problem since the update with Koodo (Telus)

Send lg an email via the quick help app and tell them the update has a broken radio that kills LTE. We need more people to report it directly to them so they hopefully fix this sooner than later

I believe I found a fix to the broken lte issue! I did some messing around with things and have had perfect lte for several hours now. I'm gonna run with it tomorrow at work and see how well it holds up. If it does I'll make a mew thread for a fix
Please let us know if it worked for you.

I've had big issues with my LTE with Koodo, I sent my phone to LG a couple days ago. Hope they can fix it.
I have noticed that when I am at work my LTE connection works with no problem. When I get home (2km further) it stops working. Before the update it was working OK in both places.

Yes, that's correct. I think tmobile provides the best option as far as 5g signal for this phone.
