Update 4.1.2 wifi turns off when mobile data is on.

Since the latest update from Verizon whenever I connect to Wifi it connects then drops back to 4G right away. When I turn off the mobile data the wifi will connect again. This was never the case prior to the update.

Hi Scrappyman13. That fantastic update was intended to make your S3 experience better, not cause troubles. Is this happening when you're connecting to one specific WiFi, or is it any WiFi you've tried since the update? When it seems to drop the WiFi, do you see any error message? Let's start by removing http://vz.to/Qqsrpw and readding http://vz.to/VVj91g your WiFi connection. Also, try rebooting the battery http://vz.to/UwOaYo and SIM http://vz.to/V5RXCf to refresh your phone since the update.
Thank you

Wifi turns off and mobile data turns by itself.

Like I said, Wifi turns off and mobile data turns on by it self. I have actually see it do this while I am using it. I am getting sick of having to back into setting to turn mobile data off and wifi back on. My phone started doing this a couple months ago and is doing it more and more frequently wasting all my mobile data. I have had the phone a little over a year. I'm not sure much can be solved in the forums but I also don't know how to contact Blackberry Support as they seem to just direct people here. Any help with this would be appreciated.

Oh wow...that's a really ancient OS. There was one more in the 10.2.1 branch after that, then the entire 10.2.2 branch, followed by 10.3.0, 10.3.1, and now 10.3.2...so you are perhaps 25, maybe 50 updates behind now? Not surprising that you are suffering from problems that have likely been cleared up since. I cannot recall specifically if the problem you are reporting was in that specific OS version...it's been way too long since I used it (I'm on 10.3.2.840 now, on all 3 of my devices). Regarding the space issue, refer:Article ID: KB36394 Unable to upgrade to BlackBerry 10 OS version 10.3.1 or later due to insufficient spaceHowever, given your ancient OS, it is rather likely that you will have trouble with updating, especially in regards to backup/restore of your data. It has been reported that some who jump too far ahead find that their data cannot be restored to the updated device OS. So, to prepare, I advise you the following:Use LINK to conduct a full backup to your PCManually copy the entire contents of Device Memory to your PCPurchase and use Ultimate Backup to backup your data to your media cardPrepare full manual documentation of all configurations, account credentials, added apps, etc. (in case, in the worst case scenario, you cannot restore from backup and have to manually reconfigure everything)Hopefully this advice is way more conservative than you require...but better safe than sorry. If the official methods don't work for you, then you can consider the unofficial AutoLoader method (which, given your ancient OS, might actually be a "cleaner" way for you to go, but will require backup/restore or manual reconfiguration as AutoLoaders are completely destructive to everything presently on the device):http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-10-OS-Device-Software/Upgrading-OS10-devices-using-Autoloader/td-p/2466747#nobannerhttp://forums.crackberry.com/bb10-leaked-beta-os-f395/bb10-os-archive-943672/You will want to research carefully what OS you choose, however...be sure you choose only an officially released (by at least one carrier) version and not a true "leak". Also beware of moving into 10.3.2...the government-required "kill switch" has been added to 10.3.2, and hence also includes a block that prevents you from falling back to 10.3.1. Good luck!

Wifi turns off when screen turns off

Hi all. I noticed that my wifi turns off when my screen turns off (to save energy) on my brand new rMBP. The mac isn't asleep, just the screen as I have specified in the settings to turn off but the actual laptop is still on. Well when I move the mouse or press a key, the screen naturally comes on right away but I noticed that wifi turns on and reconnected. So if I was streaming music or something, it would stop and disconnect when the screen goes off. Does this make sense?
How do I disable this? I don't want my wifi to turn off at all when my screen turns off. If I'm downloading/streaming or whatever, I want my connection to remain on. Thoughts?

edit:
i know there's the option "prevent computer sleeping when screen is off" under power adpter, but i would like it done while running battery.
thank you.

Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
Then restart your iPad.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, then swipe the slider to power off.
Then press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Downgrading is not an option for an iOS device.

WiFi turning off when Ethernet connected, and not coming back on

Since about last Tuesday (possibly when I updated to Safari 7.0.6), whenever I connect my MacBook Air (2011) to ethernet, my WiFi turns off. When I disconnect the ethernet, the WiFi does not turn back on, which makes this an annoying problem. If I try to manually turn it on while Ethernet is still connected, it does the scanning animation a few times, and then turns back off. Without the ethernet, once WiFi is turned back on, it works just fine. I'm using both the Apple USB to Ethernet adapter and a StarTech Thunderbolt hub with Gigabit ethernet, and this happens with both. Everything is up to date, and the only change that coincided with this new behavior is Safari, but I don't remember if I updated it before of after the problem appeared, and I may not have noticed the problem for a few days as I don't often use my mac away from a wired connection.
Is this a known problem? Any known solution? When I search for it, all I find are people looking for ways to make the WiFi automatically toggle opposite the Ethernet, no one complaining that it's happening on its own.

Why are you turning cellular data off when you get home? If you have wifi at home, it will connect to the phone. Then, once you leave home and get out of range of the wifi, cellular data should connect automatically, you wouldn't need to turn it back on. Turning wifi off is really not necessary unless you are using it as a battery saving feature. I leave my wifi turned on all the time, as well as cellular data, and my battery lasts for quite a long time.

Wifi turns off when connected to mobile card, but wont turn back on

I have a Sprint wireless internet card. When I connect to the mobile card, the Wifi radio turns off. I'm fine with it turning off while I'm connected to the mobile card, but the problem is that it wont turn back on when I disconnect the mobile card. If I try to use the button or other basic on/off switches in windows to turn it on, they wont respond. The only way I can get it back on is to run a troubleshoot, which shows that the radio is disabled and asks if I want to apply the fix that will turn it back on.
I'm on a Toshiba Satellite A665-S5170, Windows 7 (64), in the U.S.
Thank you.

Hi
So does this also happen if you dont connect the notebook to external monitor? So you can determine what is causing this problem.
If the notebook doesnt shut down without external monitor you should try to update the BIOS and display driver. Both updates you can find on the Toshiba website:
http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com => Support & Downloads => Download Drivers
Do you close the lid if you have connected the external monitor?
What OS are you using?
Furthermore it would be interesting to know how you cleaned the notebook. Therefore I use compressed air spray that can blow out the dust from the cooling ventilators and you must not disassemble the notebook.
Bye

Wifi turns off when screen goes to sleep - how can i disable this?

running 10.8.4 on MBA 2013
is there a way to keep wifi alive when the screen goes to sleep (automatically turns off)?
this is very annoying that i would have some internet connected application running (eg. a download) and then the screen turns itself after a timer and also cuts the wifi. this means i have to keep my screen on if i had a big file to download. is there a way around this? i cannot find any settings addressing this issue/option.
thank you.

i know there's the option "prevent computer sleeping when screen is off" under power adpter, but i would like it done while running battery.

My Wifi turns off when trying to sync Itunes with ATV

I have just brought an ATV and have the up to date software on everything. When trying to sync my itunes library with ATV after 45 mins -90 mins i lose my wifi connection on everything (mac computer, apple tv, iphone) this has not happened before I got the Apple TV and I have always have a strong and perfect connection, even when I am syncing itunes & ATV it is perfect for the first 45 mins.
I have tried resetting the ATV to its factory settings and switching all other devices off when syncing. this hasn't worked.
I would appreciate some help on this and some instructions on how to solve this in dummy form.

without knowing the make/model of your router, then no.
and even then, unless someone here has that specific router, then we can't give you a 100% step-by-step instructions for doing it.

Is there a way to turn off useless "Mobile data" warning?

Whenever I turn off mobile data on my phone, I get the following message:
Mobile Data
You will no longer be able to use applications such as Internet, Email, and YouTube via mobile networks. Continue? (followed by "Cancel", "OK" options).
This comes up EVERY time. There is no "never show this message again" check box.
Can this be turned off?

What do you mean by "turning off notification bar?" Would this mean a loss of legitimate notifications?
Attached are images of what I'm experiencing. The "Mobile Data" occurs EVERY time I try to turn off Mobile Data. The "My Location" message happens EVERY time I try to turn on GPS.
These serve no purpose other than annoying me. How do I get rid of these messages -- and ONLY these messages!

TS1398 Wifi turns off when I get away from router

Hi all,
I've had an Iphone for about 2 1/2 years now. Working real good until recently... it will only recognized a wi-fi connection when I'm close to any router. As soon as I walk away, back to 3G, and that happens everywhere there is a wi-fi.
I need your help, please!

If you are having WiFi problems it is necessary to isolate whether the problem is with your network or your iPad. Note: Do NOT consider your network to be blameless if some other devices can connect to it.
First, test your iPad on some other WiFi networks: a friends, Starbucks, Barnes & Noble, etc.
If it works well there then the problem is probably with your network. Try restarting your WiFi router by removing power for 30 seconds. If that does not help check for a firmware update for your router. If none exists which corrects the problem consider replacing the router.
If your iPad does not function well on other networks it possibly has a hardware problem. You could try Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings to see if that corrects the problem. If not, contact Apple Support or visit an Apple store for evaluation. They can provide a replacement if your iPad is bad.
If you need more help please give the make, model, and version of your WiFi router and how you have it configured.

Does wifi turns off when the screen is locked?

I just wonder if it does. I want to know cause I want to save some battery life.
If it doesn't is there a way on the setting to turn that feature on?

HI. WI-FI is still on when the screen is locked. Unfortunately there is no such feature. You may find all info about WI-FI settings hereiOS: Connecting to Wi-Fi - Apple Support

Wifi turning off when locked?

I recently upgraded my iPod Touch to iOS6, and everthing's working fine, but when I lock the iPod for any longer than a few seconds then go to unlock it, the Wifi connectivity symbol in the upper left corner disappears. I unlock it and it works fine again, but I'm flooded with notifications I got from when I had it locked. Basically, I'm not getting any notifications when I lock my iPod. It seems to temporarily lose connection upon being locked. I have a friend who's having the exact same issue. What exactly's going on?

Likely because of intermittent network problems.

Turn of annoying Mobile data notification

How can I turn off this message each time I restart my phone? I want to leave data off until I need it. Mobile Data is Turned Off - Your mobile data connection is turned off. Unless you use WI-Fi, you will no longer be able to use the Internet, Email or other apps that require data connection.

marcusgi3,
That's a great question. We're happy to assist here. There doesn't appear to be any settings for this automated message on the Samsung Galaxy S5. You may want to consider leaving mobile data on, but setting the data limit extremely low (i.e. .1 GB). This will prevent your phone from using more data than you want. Let us know if you need any further assistance.

After the firmware upgrade last week, the local WIFI networks pop up when I turn on my phone, I have WIFI turned off, how do I turn off the pop up?

What OS X version are you using?
Can you take a screenshot of the pop-up notification?
To take a screenshot hold ⌘ Shift 4 to create a selection crosshair. Click and hold while you drag the crosshair over the area you wish to capture and then release the mouse button. You will hear a "camera shutter" sound. This will deposit a screenshot on your Desktop.
If you can't find it on your Desktop look in your Documents or Downloads folder.
If you want to attach a screenshot to a response here, click the "camera" icon above the text field:
This will display a dialog box which enables you to choose the screenshot file (remember it's on your Desktop) and click the Insert Image button.
⌘ Shift 4 and then pressing the space bar captures the window the cursor is on.
⌘ Shift 3 captures the entire screen.
