If you mean what I'm showing in my picture, then don't worry. Your data isn't being used along with your WiFi and this is a known phenomenon (I mean, it's obviously happening to me too). No one has really been able to figure out exactly why it happens (to my knowledge).

I get it, too. Happens a couple times a week around the same time in the evenings. Doesn't seem to affect my data usage.

The AT&T visual voice mail app does this when you use it. It seems to always get its data from the cell network even when wifi is available. It's possible that other AT&T apps do likewise.

This isn't the cause because I've had Visual Voicemail disabled since updating to 5.1.1.

Got this text today, too. Used about a gig of free wireless 4G tethering last night. Schmucks!
AT&T started sending out similar messages to iPhone users who were tethering.

Wifi and mobile data on at same time..?

I never saw this before. .
Connected to my wifi at work, and I got a picture message from my daughter... then the 3g and wifi were on at the same time.

The pxt message comes through 3G that's why both your wifi and 3g are on at the same time.

3g is always running in the background when wifi is on but it will only notify you that its being used when you need that particular service. From what I understand voice calls are also placed through the 3g service but defaults to 2g when there strength of your 3g is not good enough.
Someone please correct me if I am wrong.

^ That's my understanding if it as well.
Not all carriers will make the phone show data activity indicator when receiving mms, but I think it's very common.

Would it be possible to have a contextually aware mod for the S3?

The new Moto X is said to have contextually aware abilities so you can say 'okay google' anytime and it will listen to what you say. It would be similar to Google Glass.
I was wondering if it would be possible to get something like this for the S3?
Isn't that Google now? Which our devices already have? That's the command phrase.

Yes, but with this you don't have to even touch the phone to activate Google now.

. Take note of the only option with the check... Don't know if anybody would want the battery drain associated with your phone constantly listening every time your screen is on so honestly I don't see anybody putting any effort into this...
Hm I wonder if having it always listening is going to drain the battery on the Moto X.
It depends how they implement it...if it's like wifi connections with the constant polling, then yes.

4G hangs when torrenting and using IRC at the same time?

This is really bizarre to me...when I'm on 4G, it randomly hangs up if and seemingly only if I have μTorrent running while also having AndChat connected to a server (4G icon will stay lit showing data transfer despite there being none, and apps will take their sweet time to timeout instead of giving "no network connection" errors). Toggling airplane mode on/off gets my connection back, but the same thing happens after 15-30mins. μTorrent on its own seems to work fine and I can use other programs at the same time (e.g. youtube) without issues...just not irc.
It's not really a big deal, I'm just curious what would cause it. Currently running GB27 kernel/modem.

Any torrent app uses a huge amount of bandwidth. It will hog most if it and disable most apps from connecting correctly.

Yep... Basically do everything you need to do before you start downloading torrents.

New issue - No MMS when on wifi

Nexus 5X, Android 7.0, Rooted, Verizon
This seems a very new issue for me. When I am home within range of WiFi I am not able to send or receive MMS message (using stock messenger app). I do receive the text portion of the message, just not the MMS "attachment".
If I turn off WiFi, or drive away out of range, the messages will send/arrive.
I dinked with APN settings, but get a message to the effect, "These settings not available to this user."
Any suggestions to correct this issues?
its not an issue, normally for MMS your have to use a cellular to send it.

Wat? Did you even test your silly theory before stating it? Because you are so wrong.
This function depends on your mobile carrier. There is nothing wrong with your phone about this problem. Anyway mms is dinosaur who must die.
Probally you can try to activate the "Cellular Data always active" within the developer options -> Networking..looks like this....can you give feedback if this works?

Thor, no luck using the dev settings. Thanks for the suggestion.
