Android wifi download arrow always on

Do you have other softwares than the default ones like antivirus or something else? Xzavier , Oct 11, : no other software installed. I wiped everything a few times now and installed 33r and everytime from the very beginning it shows the data transfer arrows.

Xzavier , Oct 11, : is anyone else's phone doing this? Jelly Bean Oct 11, EvilSpeaks , Oct 11, : Doesn't sound normal to be honest, my only does this when actually active Edit, just watched my WiFi icon, it does always show the Download data arrow every few seconds.

It just shows data activity on your network. Xzavier , Oct 11, : so my lte arrows always showing are fine then also? Donut Oct 11, Xzavier , Oct 11, : so about this wasting data part!?

Improve this answer. Yes, this setting was on "Always". I've switched it to "Only when plugged in" now. If "Always" is the default value, then the chart doesn't really make any sense, does it? On the chart, the Wi-Fi should be always displayed as working when set as default, I don't know why "Always" is made the default value.

This setting should only matter if Wi-Fi is enabled, whereas OP seems to indicate that they've disabled it. Sign up or log in Sign up using Google. Sign up using Facebook. Sign up using Email and Password. Post as a guest Name. Email Required, but never shown.
