Default Odd behaviour mobile data on/off widget.

Attempted to turn mobile data on the other day, nothing happened. Checked APN deleted and reinstated APN, tried toggling data from menu, toggled aeroplane mode, toggled 2g/3g and still no mobiledata.

I then tried the mobiledata widget again and wifi symbol appeared in status bar, not mobile data...

Rebooted phone and worked fine again after.

Didn't know a widget could alter its behaviour and still not sure how I lost data connectivity in the first place, ah well it works now

Default wow

exact same thing just happened to me

I had to re-download my internet settings, everything's alright now but I noticed that when I went to turn off the phone when this happened the silent and airplane modes was gone

Interesting to hear it wasn't a one off. Easily sorted but lets hope its not a symptom of something more serious

You dont have to reboot.

Press the wireless widget icon to turn off your wireless then press the mobile data widget to turn on mobile data. If the wireless icon still appears with mobile data on and wireless off, turn off mobile data and turn on wireless on then turn it off, then try turning on the mobile data again it should work

Thank you Izzy, I should have clarified that I was able to get the wifi icon to go away but was still unable to get mobile data until I rebooted, by use of widget or otherwise.

My wifi was off but the icon stayed on the notification bar !
I have to reboot the phone to get right !
