Sedona-X – Troubleshooting connectivity and functionality on mobile data

Sedona-X does not have any restrictions on the network itself. It functions on WiFi as well as cellular data (mobile data).

When Sedona-X functions on WiFi, but does not work on mobile data, there are a few things to look for and resolve:

  1. Mobile data needs to be enabled on the device.
  2. Signal: A poor signal (one bar signal) means poor data transmission.
  3. Restrictions of a specific app can be restricted to work on WiFi only, through the phone settings by limiting the app’s access to mobile data, or by using a third-party app like NetGuard.

The manual restrictions would be set up in the phone or tablet settings. 

Navigate to Cellular/mobile data settings and toggle on the app’s cellular data access or ensure it’s not set to “WiFi only”.

Note: The settings route will be different for iOS, Android, as well as the iOS or Android version used.

Android:

  • Open the Settings app.
  • Go to "Apps" or "Apps & Notifications".
  • Select the app you want to configure.
  • Tap "Data usage" or "Mobile data".
  • Ensure "Allow background data" or "Use mobile data" is enabled.
  • On some Android devices, you might find an option to "Allow app while Data saver is on". 

iOS (iPhone/iPad):

  • Open the Settings app.
  • Tap "Cellular" or "Mobile Data".
  • Scroll down to the app list.
  • Toggle on the switch next to the app to allow it to use cellular data.

Troubleshooting:

  • Check for "WiFi only" settings: Some apps might have a setting that forces them to use WiFi only, even when mobile data is available. 
  • Restart your device: A simple restart can sometimes resolve connectivity issues. 
  • Ensure mobile data is enabled: Make sure mobile data is turned on in your device's settings. 
  • Check for data saver mode: If data saver mode is enabled, it might restrict background data usage for some apps. 
  • Review app permissions: Some apps might require specific permissions to access mobile data.
