Sorry if I'm stepping on another post here - but any help would be appreciated....
I have a Tmob M8. I've had Background Data set on restricted on a number of apps for several months with no problem. Specifically, Play Store and a few others. Recently, I've started getting error messages when trying to launch Play Store saying that Background Data needs to be enabled. This is even when I'm on both strong network and wifi signals (and also set on network preferred). All of this is intermittent and if I re-enable background data it might - or it might not - connect. Until I reboot.
Also, (and this has nothing to do with background data restriction) when I'm in an area with strong network coverage, if I try to launch a web browser, it will often pop up with a bunch of ISP icons ( ATT, Comcast, etc.) saying that I need a wifi connection. This is outside with no neaby wifi and a strong network signal. And - my wife is standing right next to me with the same phone and none of these issues.
Phone is not rooted and no weird apps.
No problems with voice or text
Did a hard reset. Spent Waaay too many hours on the phone with Tmob. Got a new sim card.
Tmob agreed to send me a replacement but it's on like a twelve day back order.
Anyone have any ideas on what's going on with this phone? - Thanks
