[Solved] Mobile Data Icon Missing On Samsung Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge
Update: Steps to fix this problem that caused mobile data icon to go missing from QuickPanel on Samsung S6 and S6 Edge phones is given below: #-Link-Snipped-#
The mobile data icon typically available in the quick settings drawer on the Samsung Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge is missing. I began noticing the problem since yesterday afternoon after I checked for the firmware upgrade OTA. Note that I did not install any update or even got notification. I do not recall Android asking for my permission to install any update. Yet, there's some software glitch that's caused the mobile data icon go missing from the quick settings menu.
If you haven't configured your quick settings menu, the mobile data icon typically appears between the bluetooth and power-saving mode options in the quick menu settings. You can of course edit what icons appear in the list; but this new bug seems to be popping out from nowhere.
I checked my Android firmware version by heading to Settings -> About device -> Android Version and it shows 5.0.2. That means the bug has got nothing to do with any of the android update. I checked if the problem is a result of any app installation - and it's not!
I then searched online to see if it's just my phone that's experiencing this weird issue - and found out that there are several galaxy s6 and s6 edge users having the same problem on their phones. I also discovered that this problem is not only limited to users from US or Canada; but many users in India have been affected as well.
Apparently there is no definitive fix available for this issue. I'm keeping a check on available solution. If your phone has been affected, I'd recommend subscribing to this discussion so that you get notified as soon as someone posts a fix.
