Mobile Data Not Working on Android – 24 Fixes That Always Work (No Reset Needed First)

Mobile data shows full bars but no internet? Pages won’t load, WhatsApp messages stuck, Play Store not downloading? Here are 24 tested fixes that work on every Android phone (Samsung Galaxy, Xiaomi/Redmi, Realme, OnePlus, Vivo, Oppo, Google Pixel, and more).

1. Airplane Mode Toggle (Works 70% of Time)

  1. Swipe down → tap Airplane mode for 15 seconds → turn off

2. Restart Phone

3. Check Signal & Location

Move to open area or near window — weak signal = no data even with full bars.

4. Re-Insert SIM Card

Power off → remove SIM → clean gently → re-insert → boot.

5. Correct Network Mode

Settings → Network & internet → Mobile network → Preferred network type → choose 5G/4G/3G/2G (auto)

6. Force 4G Only (If 5G Is Buggy)

Same menu → choose “LTE/4G/3G/2G (auto)” or “LTE only”

7. Check Data Limit

Settings → Network → Data usage → Billing cycle → make sure limit not reached

8. Turn Off Data Saver

Settings → Network → Data Saver → OFF

9. Reset APN to Default (Most Powerful Fix)

  1. Settings → Network → Mobile network → Access Point Names
  2. Tap three dots → Reset to default

10. Manually Enter APN (If Reset Doesn’t Help)

Google your carrier + “APN settings” → add new APN exactly.

11. Enable Data Roaming (Even at Home)

Some networks need it ON for full coverage.

12. Test SIM in Another Phone

If works → problem is in your phone. If not → contact carrier.

13. Disable VPN Apps Completely

14. Update Carrier Services (Hidden Menu)

Dial *#*#4636#*#* → Phone information → check “Mobile radio power” is ON

15. Install Latest Firmware Update

16. Clear System Cache

17. Safe Mode Test

If data works in Safe Mode → uninstall recent apps.

21. Reset Network Settings (Fixes 95% Remaining Cases)

Settings → System → Reset options → Reset Wi-Fi, mobile & Bluetooth
