Sometimes, not always, when I try to access data over the 3G network, I discover that the "Data Enabled" setting is not checked. If I go under settings and check it, all works as it should. I can't figure out, though, what is turning it off. I suspect it is happening when I have WiFi enabled and move to an area where WiFi is not available. Normally, the 3G connection automatically turns on, but as I said, not always.

Does anyone have an idea what might be causing this strange behavior, and more importantly, what I can do to eliminate it? I am running Green Power and Juice Defender, so it's possible a setting there might be relevant, though I don't know what.

Hope you can solve this minor irritation.

 

Droid X / Verizon. I don't think the service is the issue, since it happens at home when I know the connection should be good.

 

On the Droid, I don't see that option there. Under Wireless and Networks, I have Airplane Mode, WiFi settings, Bluetooth settings, Tethering, VPN settings, and Mobile networks. Under the last, I have system select with two options: Home only and Automatic. I assume Automatic is the correct one.

Under Battery and Data Manager, I have Data Delivery with three options: Background Data (on), Data Roaming (off), and Data Enabled (on). That last is the one that sometimes gets turned off without any reason that I have been able to determine.

 

Maximum battery saver. The information for that setting is "While phone is not connected to a charger, stops syncing data after 15 minutes of inactivity. Dims the display."

When all is working right, I might not have a data connection when I first try to make a connection, but it turns on after a few seconds. When all is not working right, it doesn't ever turn on until I go into settings and re-enable it.

 

No, I normally have to switch on WiFi; otherwise, the default is 3G.

Green Power shows "Not managing WiFi and Mobile Network". Juice Defender is not a running app, so I apparently turned it off, though the app is still on the list of available apps.

Thanks.
