I am facing this strange issue since past 3 days.
I am facing this strange issue since past 3 days.
I am not having any Data Pack on my mobile number, so I have changed all the APN settings so that even by mistake it doesn't gets connected to the internet.
After updating to Android 10, since past 3 days, when I keep my phone unattended for some time, or when it is charging, I get notifications from apps like Instagram, Whatsapp, Google Weather updates, Playstore updates,etc..
My phone is NOT CONNECTED TO ANY INTERNET, nor my house wifi, nor mobile data. But even then, I get notifications. Sometimes, I can see the H+ icon on the notification bar (as BSNL offers 3G data only), and sometimes, I don't see.
When I see the H+ icon, and if I open the settings, there MOBILE DATA IS TURNED OFF, and even then the icon is present and internet works.
I have lost quite a lot of amount form my main balance in past 3 days. Since the phone is silent most of the time, I don't get to know when there is any notification, and hence, I am not able to immediately take any action.
One thing to note is that the H+ icon disappears the moment I switch on the Wifi and the phone gets connected.
Adding the screenshots.
I don't know what is happening with this device, but now it is becoming extremely frustrating to continue using it. Calling is anyway degraded and of no use, as the crackling sound doesn't allows to hear properly what the person on the other side says.
Please, if anyone has a solution to this. Kindly tell.
Hello @HMDLaura
It is a humble request. PLEASE. PLEASE. PLEASE. PLEASE. PLEASE. PLEASE. PLEASE. PLEASE. PLEASE. PLEASE. PLEASE. PLEASE. PLEASE. PLEASE. PLEASE. PLEASE. PLEASE. PLEASE. PLEASE. PLEASE. PLEASE. PLEASE. PLEASE. PLEASE. PLEASE. PLEASE. PLEASE. PLEASE. PLEASE. PLEASE. PLEASE. PLEASE. PLEASE. PLEASE. PLEASE. PLEASE. PLEASE.
PLEASE ask the developers to release a fix as soon as possible. It is becoming a headache now. I know, HMD might be excited to upgrade its devices to the latest android versions and provide the latest features to all it's users and mark its presence in the market. But, at least do after thoroughly testing the update before release.

It sounds rather easy to solve.
If you do not want any apps to use any internet connection, just enable the option (somewhere, i forgot where) that apps can use background data line.
That means that apps only may use data if you openened them.
@praveenp How about if you just remove or edit the APN name so that it fails to create a data connection?
I have already done that. My APN names are just some random keystrokes. The other settings too changed. Still it is getting connected, and that's the actual issue.
But that will be forever, if I'm not wrong. Because when I use internet via wifi, then it is needed as apps like Whatsapp need to run in background so that messages are instantly retrieved rather than when I use those apps.
The actual issue is that WHY IS IT HAPPENING? How the mobile data gets randomly connected even with incorrect APN settings, and without it being actually turned ON.
Go to developer options--Always turn on mobile data. Switch it to off.
I hope this solves your issue.
Else follow what Elot has mentioned.
Agreed, Tejas... That might solve it. I'll do it.
But what may be the reason behind it? Like if I don't use my phone for whole day and it turns on the mobile data without me doing intentionally, then it'd be me at the losing end.
This was a bug introduced with Pie update. It caused severe battery drain for me with mobile data being on even when it was switched off.
The reason would be to keep you connected all the time even in the absence of wifi. Although it should be the user who should decide if he wants mobile data to be on continuously, somehow Google kept it on.
Google, sometimes, behaves like my wife.. Throwing tantrums for no reason when everything is going smoothly.
Try resetting network once
Girlfriend throw tantrums too 😂😂😂😂
yeah, I had the same issue so I went app usage cycle and put the limit to 0 bytes, so mobile data can't be resumed/used even if you yourself enable the mobile data on. Only way to open it again is to change the limit. Anyway that's how I encountered it and it worked
I am having the same issue after updating to Android 10. My Data & WiFi are off, still I am getting WhatsApp messages. This is ridiculous. Now I am not even able to ignore my GF! 😣
BTW, I tried disabling "Always keep data on" from the Developer Options, still no help. I am still getting messages when I switch off the data.
Does anyone has a solution?
At this point, removing the Access Point would be the only option mate. Add another invalid access point and set it as the default. That should stop the phone from connecting I believe.
No. That's also not working (at least for me). I messed up with the settings of Access Points, but still the internet turned on and I received notifications about weather and whatsapp.
However, "Always keep data off" helped me. But now I have stopped using the device for calling as I removed the SIM card (because of cracking noise from speakers/earphone). So it's just a wifi only device now.
@AniketThakur Can you check if the issue is still there after the April MR?
My data is always on . But I will check and inform by tomorrow
Is April MR coming tomorrow?
Can't say anything
