Data not working

Just about everytime after I turn off WiFi on my phone, my data wont come back on. I usually have to turn on airplane mode and turn it off and the data will work again... anyone know how to solve this issue?
 
I was waiting to see if someone had a 'real fix' for you.

I'm offering a Work Around that I use for a different reason.

Install => * MacroDroid - Device Automation - Android Apps on Google Play


Now create a macro that will toggle with turning OFF the WiFi.

Touch the + sign to create new macro

Trigger: WiFi State Change

  • select WiFi Disabled

Actions: Mobile Data On/Off

  • select Data ON

Now touch the Right Arrow in the top right corner of the display.

  • ignore the Constraints menu

touch the Right Arrow in the top right corner of the display again.

  • Now touch 'enter macro name' to bring up the keyboard.
  • Give it a meaningful name like: Data ON, WiFi off

Click OK

You should now see the "List of Macros" has a number in a circle indicating the number of macros created. In your case, it should be '1'

Now, back out of MacroDroid and toggle off the WiFi, you should see the 4g indicator come on again.

The neat thing about this is, if the WiFi signal disappears, the Data should automatically turn on again.

Please come back and comment on your results.
 
This app seems to be working. Thanks a lot I really appreciate it! Plus I can use this app for other things, it's great
