I tried to post on r/AndroidQuestions but my post was removed on the basis that "it wasn't a question" or wasn't in English... I've tried to appeal but no doubt I'll get banned from the reddit for my trouble.
Phone: Nokia 8.3, Android 12
I've had this phone for a few years (bought directly from Nokia) without any issues with mobile data and then recently moved from mobile network A to mobile network B. As soon as I put in the new SIM card, the problem started to occur in that when I enabled mobile data (I leave services like wifi / mobile data / location off until I actually want to use them), I would get a notification from Android saying:
"You may be out of data from <mobile network B>. Tap for options"
The first time I encountered it (Dec 2024), I assumed that it was a teething issue with the changeover so I tried power-cycling my phone. On another occasion I tried the phone restart option. Such tactics usually work, though I've found that flipping the phone into airplane mode for a few seconds and back out again is a far quicker fix.
I had a chat with mobile network provider B about it but they weren't aware of any issues and were talking about checking the data usage warning notification but the problem happens regardless of the warning setting being enabled or not.
I've tried googling for the problem but often suggestions are targeting Samsung-specific options which generic Android either doesn't have or are worded and filed away in a different location in the UI. I've tried a bunch of 'clear data for such-and-such service' type suggestions but they haven't helped, but I don't remember the specifics.
I assume that factory-resetting my phone would do the trick, but I really don't want to do that because for example my music player app will lose the playlists I've set up and I'd have to redo them all.
Any ideas?
