Hi all,
Could anyone clarify that running on UMTS/HSDPA data drains the battery faster than on GPRS/EDGE?
Personally, I do feel the difference. Pls correct me if I am wrong about this.
Cheers,
Mark
Hi Mark,
Although the manual says there is a difference and on paper UMTS does require more processing power and therefore battery usage than 2G (HSPDA more so again but it's only active when browsing on an HSDPA network) in real life use you will probably not be majorly effected.
It can also be down to the location you use the phone. If it's a weak UMTS signal then the phone will be working harder to 'decode' the UMTS signal or if you are near a location area boundry your phone might be switching between location area A and B and transmitting location update massages alot which in turn will use more battery again.
I tend to charge my phone overnight and not once have I ran out of battery - infact I don't think I've seen it bellow 60% and I'm connected to UMTS most of the time.

I ran speedtest checks while wifi-tethering to my laptop, with the following results:
During a call
Not during a call (i usually get around 1.3)
Makes me wonder. It seems my provider has the bandwidth and network capability (HSPA 3.6Mbps at 'full theoretical'). Is the phone using a lower power mode usually, and higher during a call? Anyone else mind doing some speedtest checks during/not during a call and sharing their results? food for thought...
I see the same data speeds on and off of a call..just tested now.
Im on Orange and getting slow laggy connections on my 3G/HSDPA connections. Wondering if if anybody else is getting the same in the UK. Im running the new ERE36B radio and the fastest speed i can get on 3G/HSDPA is typically 245k/bs downstream and 45k/bs upstream.
The main problem is loading websites usually take a very long time even with speeds that should load them up fairly quickly.
Please if your from the UK, leave your network, connect and speeds.
Thanks!
Im with Orange in the UK and noticing that 3G seems much slower on the Nexus than the Hero.
I can't be arsed to post speeds
I am on O2 and the best i've got (tested 3 / 4 times in different locations) is :
2290kbps down
1616 up
Generally get decent speeds browsing and downlaoding apps from Market (except in my house... but that is another story :/ )
In Reading on tmobile I get:
1800kbps down
555kbps up
But the coverage isn't great along the trainline.
on baseband 32.26.00.24U_4.04.00.03_2

strange as i find the ping very high on my device. sometimes 2000+ on HSDPA. Thus when browsing its very slow for a while and then sudden bursts of speeds occur. Hope a fix becomes available soon! i wasnt noticing these problems on previous radios but mayb its the the network acting up.
Those using speedtest in the UK what are your pings looking like?
As we all know, Galaxy S has major issues with the battery life, one of the biggest hogs being the HSDPA data connection. From my experience, HSDPA drains 5-10% per hour in standby on my Galaxy S, while the WiFi connection drains almost nothing during a 3 hours standby. So I was wondering why doesn't Samsung thought of replacing the HSDPA with 3G or even 2G (GPRS/EDGE) while the display is off? HSDPA should be active only when the connection is used by the user and not the background services like gmail sync. Push mail notifications work with slow connections like GPRS so why not give the battery a rest? Do I have a point and if I do, is there a solution?
on my phone HSPA is only on when I use data. It switches to UMTS (3G) when idle. My provider doesn't have any legacy GSM/EDGE network.
Yeah it would have to be a bit more configured than that, with screen off and data idle - for example I stream internet radio and constantly have the screen off, with 3G only speed there wouldn't be enough overhead for it to stream consistently.
Just turn data network mode off on the power menu? Puts the phone to 2g for voice and text....

Mine doesn't work this way. After leaving the phone idle for at least 30 min, when I turn it on, the H is already active. I dont think it switches so fast from 3G to HSDPA. I'll monitor it for a couple of days to see if it falls back to 3G in sleep mode.
Turning the data connection off isn't a solution, at least for me. I want the background sync to work, but not on high speed, because it drains the battery faster.
That's a nice idea indeed. Practically, however, I have 2g all the time and a widget to enable 3g/h when required for browsing etc.
Thats a really good idea. I have tried looking for a widget that switches 2g 3g but can only find widgets that provide a shortcut. Maybe some day...

Has this problem occurred just me?
Or did you find other users with this problem?
Is there any way to fix?
Professional help is needed.

I have had this problem also, the MI9 radio works better for me. I have used odin to go back from MJ7 no problems. You have to flash in odin though not SS. There is a thread with the modems on xda somewhere just search it

you can flash the modem in odin.(just the modem. nothing else.) the software for the radio is independent. if your not sure about odin and how to flash files with it, then you need to read up. this is about as easy as it gets.
