WARNING --> WARNING you can be killing your data plan and not know it

this problem is systemic because we all have the same hardware/software

don't wait till u get a 500 dollar data over usage bill, make sure you do not

have the problem NOW

This problem appears to arise from, BUT may not be limited to …...

Skipping the initial Google account setup when you first get your phone!

The symptoms:

you connect to your WiFi but are still download and surf the web with your network connection (2G/3G or 4G)

How can u tell if you have this problem ?

Open the App market (easiest and sure way to find out)

if you have the problem right next to your WiFi you will see 2G, 3G or 4G connection

you may have to click on an app in the market and wait for the page to load to see the above

BUT u will see it if you have a data plan, if you do not have a data plan you will get a network error!

Which tells you if you think about it that u are not surfing with WiFi at all!

And hence killing (using) your data plan!

Go here if u wanna read what we went through to find the offending app's and how to solve the problem

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1044349

the easiest solution comes from EtherealRemnant (I have his post quoted below)

for thoughs of u who can not do the original setup, because you don’t have a data plan

OR don’t want to do a factory reset! You will have to go to the above post for details on how to solve the problem.

Some are easy (and work for some) other solutions are harder and require you to take an extra step after every reboot! (as in my case)

Maybe a developer out here can make an easy one click Fix

peace and good luck

Second, make sure that your phone is not using any data before turning wifi on. If it is, let it stabilize for a few moments.

If this does not work, turn on wifi calling. Its better voice quality anyway and you don't get dropped calls.

This is obviously just a software bug that needs a patch to fix. I've seen far worse problems out of the gate with phones

than software bugs as small as this.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] nate420:
lol thanks bud....

i always wondered why people skipped the setup... it takes 2 mins......

now look... you might have caused your own problems... maybe this is where the REBOOTS/LAG/DATA/LOCK DEATH PROBLEMS are coming from.........
[T-Mobile LG G2x] a1yet:
SO true maybe this is the cause of ALL them problems, I never thought of that!

BUT for myself i can not do the initial setup because i do not have a data plan to sync the account with in setup

.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] nate420:
i bet it will help with most of them (not the bleeding tho thats hardware)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] EtherealRemnant:
Thank you for giving me credit on my fix. :)

I didn't really think about the people who don't have data plans - lots of us skip the initial set up on phones though due to slow network speeds. I have a lot of towers in my area but I get 100kbps on a good day and 300 off-peak... there's an air force base not even ten miles away and I have a feeling that's where a lot of it comes from... I switched from at&t to T-Mo because of the exact same speeds but I was also dropping calls in my house with them. I've yet to drop one with T-Mo.

But it's still not working for some

my fix using his method stopped working and i am back to turning on wifi calling again ***SIGH***

i might just have to buy a day data plan and factory reset,

and set the phone up properly the first time

so i don't know whats up with this

just don't take this fix to be the end all be all fix

just be happy if it works for you

unlimited data over hrere
[T-Mobile LG G2x] BarryH_GEG:
The real culprit is T-Mobile's very own My Account app. It won't work over Wi-Fi and starts a native data connection with the mother ship with every query even when Wi-Fi's enabled. The way to prove this is to enable Wi-Fi calling and then try to get My Account to answer a query. It can't because Wi-Fi calling hard closes the native data connection and it apparently outranks the My Account app. Once Wi-Fi Calling's turned off I do still see the 4G indicator pop-up randomly when I'm on Wi-Fi.

Does anybody know what harm this is really doing? If the only app or apps that are using native data when Wi-Fi's enabled are Market and My Account how much data is really being consumed? Looking at my data usage (and I'm a pretty heavy user) it doesn't seem much different then what I was burning on the G2.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] BarryH_GEG:
But... 3/4G are capped at either 2GB or 5GB depending on your plan. Once you hit that threshold you'll be throttled to GRPS speeds which makes dial-up look fast.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mr.orange303:
Well updating my wife's my account app fixed hers. I had to manually update hers. It was not like mine which updated itself.

But it worked so far. No errors since.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] nraudigy2:
For those with no Data Plan. Try this. (Probably works vice versa) You can't have My Account app running at all. I would root and remove it with Titantium Backup.

1. Factory Reset

2. Skip initial setup

3. Turn on Airplane Mode (hold down Power button for 3 sec)

4. Turn on Wifi

5. Setup Google Account/Market

6. Shutdown phone/Reboot ( Don't know if you need this)

7. Turn off Airplane Mode

This is more legit than my other solution.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] EvanPatrickSmith:
no dude, that's not where those things are coming from. secondly, you skip the setup if A) you don't have a sim card or B) if you don't have a data connection. You have to get through all the crap to turn on wifi and then sync. all that wondering and you never thought of that?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] nraudigy2:

[T-Mobile LG G2x] keyboardr:
$20 is on a couple of the promo plans. If you're on a contracted family plan, you can get 3k min, unlimited text and the 5GB soft cap data on two lines for 149 (it's really $109 and two $20 data plans), and then each additional data line is 20.

The $15 is probably a grandfathered plan, because the current $15 is a 200 MB plan (max $30 overages).

[Fascinate Android Development] suppliesidejesus:
The reason that people are getting back to stock recovery after flashing CWM is because stock recovery re-asserts itself if a custom kernel is not flashed. Whenever you Odin back to stock and flash CWM afterwards, you should ALWAYS flash a custom kernel in CWM before booting to the OS, otherwise the change in recovery won't keep.
[Fascinate Android Development] sgtflick:
I am running a stock kernel and have root/red cwm now. Im just not on stock ROM, im using Evil Fascinate 3.3.2 ... I was able to do this through these instructions.

[Fascinate Android Development] phonefiend:
This is important information. Unfortunately none of the HOWTO threads on installing CWM mention this in the instructions and it took me hours to even become aware that this was what was happening to me. I haven't yet figured out how to remedy the problem but at least I know what it is now. Strangely I don't think I had any problem getting CWM to stick after flashing EB01 a while back.
[Fascinate Android Development] drnihili:
The original instructions on FF have been updated somewhat. Among other things the wiping steps seem to not be necessary for just getting root. Here's the link. About to try this but with CWM3.
[Fascinate Android Development] fitti28:
This is from original thread by Adrynalyne.

Note: Keep in mind that once you Odin CWR to ED01, you MUST also flash a kernel, or rom containing a kernel to replace the stock one, or it will revert you.
[Fascinate Android Development] landshark68:
I spent days working on this issue of reverting back to stock recovery. I can tell you SSJ is absolutely correct, it is all about the kernel. Anytime you flash a stock kernel, whether it be in an ODIN package or flashing a stock kernel or a ROM that includes a stock kernel in CWM, the stock kernel will revert you back to stock blue (2e) recovery. From my experience and speaking with others, this only happens on nonvoodoo because obviously there are no stock voodoo kernels, they are all custom. You can flash the current CWM and it will stick through flashing modems in ODIN, and themes, patches, and mods in CWM. But as soon as you flash a stock kernel, you have to reflash the current CWM. So follow SSJ's advice and immediately flash a custom kernel if you are running nonvoodoo. My apologies to the OP that this is off topic from the thread. Just wanted to share the info I learned from days of previous testing.
[Fascinate Android Development] phonefiend:
He seems to have added that in the ED01 thread in the last few hours but in most of the recent Clockwork threads they don't mention this which is surprising.
[Fascinate Android Development] phonefiend:
Yeah so it seems like there is no way to install CWM Red permanently if you want to keep the stock kernel. I did find one workaround which I haven't tried yet: http://androidforums.com/fascinate-all-things-root/262576-clockwork.html#post2194810
[Fascinate Android Development] ajh16:
Ok, so if I understand correctly, the ODIN of CWM will go away if I stay stock rom? This is actually good for me I think because I am trying to root without having any impact on stock other than getting SuperUser.apk working, so I really don't want CWM if I can avoid it. If anyone knows any non CWM based root methods that work on stock or can verify that CWM will be replaced by stock cleanly after the process, that would be great.
[Fascinate Android Development] ajh16:
Ok, I got tired of waiting for a reply and tried it and it does appear that it cleanly switched back. If someone can verify that would still be cool as I still need to do this process on my wife's phone as well, but it seemed to work without altering anything other than giving run permissions to su and busybox.
[Fascinate Android Development] phonefiend:
You can use ADB to root. I'm on my phone so dont have the link handy but search and you should find it.

Sent from my Froyo'd Evil Fascinate full of PB&J
[Fascinate Android Development] DeezNotes:
I'm running a test now with a *mostly* stock setup.

- Odin DL09

- Get the OTA Updates to get to ED03 (including the ED03 modem)

- Make sure the file /sdcard/Voodoo/disable-lagfix is on the SD card

- Odin the Blue CWM 3.x

- Boot directly into recovery

- Apply the superuser.zip to enable root access

- Use ADB to push busybox to /system/xbin <- forgot where I got this

- Use ADB to rename (3) recovery files to prevent CWM recovery 3.x from being overwritten with stock recovery

- Boot the phone, install Titanium, remove bloat

- Profit
[Fascinate Android Development] kidserious:
Instead of using ADB which is more time consuming and more difficult, do this. After you have odined DL09 and then updated to ED03, odin this recovery: http://www.mediafire.com/file/06al8prkgj29gps/cwm-recovery-ALL-3-30-FIX.tar With this recovery you don't have to worry about voodoo conversions or putting any disable lagfix files on your SD. And then immediately boot into cwm recovery via the three finger method BEFORE the phone boots up normally. Then flash this from recovery: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7223192/RootSF/su-2.3.6.1+busybox1.19.zip Once you have flashed this, simply reboot your phone and you are rooted. Simple.
[Fascinate Android Development] DeezNotes:
The only thing to caution users about is that on a stock ED01/ED03 ROM, once the phone boots, CWM (any version) will be overwritten. There are other methods to work around this, such as obtaining root and using Root Explorer to remove/rename the 3 files I mentioned in my link above.

There is also a kernel that doesn't overwrite CWM with the stock recovery, but I wanted to keep the stock kernel for testing -- keeping a mostly stock setup due to some bluetooth issues I've been having with modified kernels.

Either way, all of this information should be helpful to someone out there! :)
