Nairalanders, Please Assist Me With My Samsung Galaxy S3 Wi-fi And Mobile Data by raebox: 5:53pm On Jul 23, 2016
I've been using this samsung galaxy s3 since april 12 of this year, this phone has been working well and i used it with my airtel sim, after a month, i got a bigger phone which made me forget the samsung for a month.

but the problem now is that whenever i put my airtel line or glo, the mobile data and wifi automatically put itself on, if i switch off, it will still on itself after some seconds..and it sucks battery a lot.

I've tried all manual setting but couldn't get it right....abeg fellow Nairalanders. ...help me abef

Reload the firmware. Download Phone Data App, confirm the specific firmware to reload. Otherwise, just reload a generic custom firmware.

Okay. Let me explain. There is a problem with your device OS. You can't just install an app to correct it so you have to flash the phone. Any person can just put any OS for you, which may have little faults, that's why you may need to load the exact OS for your device.

Go to Settings, Select Accounts. Scroll down to Backup and Reset. In the Personal Data submenu, you will see 'Factory Data Reset'. Pressing This will remove everything you installed or downloaded to your phone. If a useless app is responsible for this, it should stop the problem. Otherwise, it will still require flashing. Either ways, you lose all your data.

That is why you need the exact firmware for your phone. Except you can manage it like that. You can restrict background data for your apps but the battery drain can be managed by apps.

go to settings, click on back up and reset then click on factory data reset... it will warn you thet your data will be erased (u need to back up ur stuffs or move all ur items from phone memory to sdcard cos everything will be removed including installed apps), click reset >> erase all...

the phone will restart after erasing everything. .
