Is anyone experiencing REAL slow speeds and force closes on Youtube? I'm trying to get an idea of why this is happening.even when I have full bars on my signal, my speeds are slow. i can surf the internet ok but youtube slow as heck and they only load in the browser when I try to play them in the app I FC.

Haven't had any problems with that yet - just tested playing a video, in HQ, and it worked fine. I had tried playing Youtube in the browser earlier, and that seemed to work pretty well also.
thanks for the replying. whatever was causing the problem seems to have vanished somehow and I just now found out that I live just outside of the HSPA+. If I go down the street a few blocks my data speed jumps up GREATLY. Ain't that some crap...
Got another strange problem.my voicemail icon won't go away. Anyone ever had this issue?

Yeah I had that problem. Try sending yourself a voicemail and it should go away.

Has anyone had success in being on the phone using voice, and browsing the internet, using data, at the same time on the Samsung Vibrant, with T-Mobile?
I was able to perform this most of the time with my HTC HD2, with T-Mobile.
I searched, and can't really find an exact answer.
It worked but i was using wifi

Yeah, mine probably works on Wifi, but I am talking about mobile data, such as 3G. My HD2 did this most of the time.
If you are on 3G then yes you can.
This really only works well with a fairly strong 3G signal. Otherwise you may drop to 2G during the call and only be able to access data over wifi.
It works for me some times. Each
time I try I get different results some slow some fast or not at all. I am in the same place so its not my location. Its odd u was tempted to post a similar question.

Yes, I can use google maps, drive my car, and talk on the bluetooth all at the same time. The Vibrant works great. Only when it drops to Edge speeds, then ya lose the google maps, but the call keeps going.
Mine works as well, I've had my laptop tethered several times downloading large files, and answer a call and it keeps downloading no problem. I haven't noticed if if it's just a 2g/3g thing though as it usually stays on 3g for me most of the time.
I have no probelm doing voice and data both wifi and 3g.
wtf is up with ppl and the HD2.....
Anyone else having issues with T-Mobiles network? I can't download anything, stopped getting FB stuff, Twitter doesn't work.
Working fine for me.
Where are you? Here in Northern Jersey I've got no problems...

Nevermind...I disabled the wireless networks and it started working again... wtf is up with that? First time that's happened. (running JL5)
I switch apns all the time. In quicksettings I use the apn switch but leave it on apn.droid instead of disabled (which actually DOES disable it) if I switch to apn.droid then it actually changes the way I connect to tmo... epc.tmobile.apndroid.com...(instead of epc.tmobile.com) I swear I get faster speeds.

I'm not sure what's going on but for the last couple of days my data connection is acting all messed up. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't. I've tried different modems and different roms. Also for the first tine ever Odin hangs every time I try to flash a modem.

Working fine for me. Faster than ever. Hit a new all time high in a speed test today. So I think the problem is on your end.
This happens to me on jl5. Didn't happen on ji6. It will still have bars, just no data. I have to switch to airplane mode and then back to get it working again. Happens a couple times a day.

That's odd. I've had JL5 since a few days after release and haven't had a single issue with data until today. I see full bars, data activity doesn't do anything except the green "out" arrow flashes but nothing comes in. I just disabled Data network and re-enabled it and now it's worked fine..
Please use proper language when making a thread. I modified the title of this thread because of it. Thanks.
I have similar happen on JL5, after a day or two (or an unknown set of actions). I will no longer be able to receive calls, but will get the VM alerts and be able to dial out. Data connection will then be hit/miss. I put the phone in airplane mode and take it off airplane mode and it works again.

Yeah,its a known froyo bug,it was even brought up several times in google's forum for the nexus one. it wasn't an issue in 2.1,but 2.2 (pretty much every build I've ever used on the G1,N1,vibrant,HD2,and Intercept) has the issue.
i think my phone's radio is broken.. now it doesnt switch between edge and 3G anymore.. stays on 3G
but download speed is really slow..painfully slow.. i was actually happy to get 3G in my room, but it's actually broken? LOL
i installed the signal app by imperial.. it stays on H - 93 dbm with the 3G symbol on the signal bar and consistent 3/4 bars.. what the hell..
hmmm..
maybe tmo 3g coverage has gotten better? but download speed is slow.. my phone may be broken.. ughhh
Check to see if you have it wcdma only. Settings->wireless networks->mobile network. It should be on wcdma/GSM (auto).

This also happens to me, I'm at JL5. Sometimes when using 3g my speed is lower than 100 kbps. I have to reconnect to make it work.

they dont switch anymore.. from what i have observed, it stuck on the 3G symbol, but the actual download speed does switch between edge and 3g.. someitmes rendering a page is faster and sometimes it's slow..

im using the stock j16.. i already reset my phone, even reverted to stock jfd and flash via kies last night.. same issue
i haven't even dropped my phone at all.. not a bad drop at least..
I have the same problem on JL5. I just flashed Nero V3 this weekend as my first Froyo rom and I see today I cannot get online at work where 3G is iffy. If i switch it manually to GSM, then data works.
I actually flashed a custom rom hoping to fix an issue like this.
Back on stock my network data just stopped while browsing web pages or anything really. It would give the outgoing arrows but nothing would come back. After about 30 minutes or so it would start working again for a while.
Flashed to nero but it's still as prevalent as ever (maybe for a different reason now lol). Not sure if it's the phone or Tmo's network anymore, but it's not too big of an issue for me so I just have to remember to activate wifi if I need constant data for any period.
I have it set to GSM only because I don't live in a 3G area...
I've been having this problem for a few days now. All of this has happened over a cell connection.
Occasionally, when surfing the net, searching, or clicking a link, I will get a page not found error. It will happen clicking links from pages, trying to launch google.com, or using the search key on the phone.
During the times the net isn't working, the phone reports full connectivity. Also, some apps like Facebook will still work. Some bookmarks will still work.
I was initially getting this on a stock rooted rom, but switched to CM7 and it still happens.
I've tried to force roaming, it still happens.
I also tried to do a profile update when on the stock rom, but I have NEVER, on any of the 3 Shifts I've owned, been able to get it to work
Is anyone else on sprint getting this? My girlfriend (stock rooted evo) has had the same issue, but not nearly as bad.

glad u said this, cuz i've been having the same issues the past few days. specifcally, i'll use voice search which should pull up google but it gives a page not found error. but then i'll just go to another webpage and it works fine. then i'll go back to google and search for something but get a page not found error, even tho 3g is connected. gotta be something with sprints service currently...
also had some issues with texting too, over the same course of time that this 'page not found' issue has been going on, not sure if it's the service or my rom, but i'd send one person a message and it would show in a thread of a different person i'm texting
Well I just talked to a friend who works in sprint intl tech, he said there is a nationwide text outage. So that may be that problem.

Sprint's network is having problems alright. No official word yet but check out this link from Engadget addressing this problem...

*EDIT* It looks like the SMS problem has been resolved. Check the link above once again...
Hell the whole network in my area in KS took a dump for about 3 hrs or so today

Friend who works for Sprint said it's because they're trying to upgrade the Network. But also, some issues. Didn't specify.
Well I've noticed that since last fall (we finally got evdo) the network seems to be going right down the tubes. I used to be able to get around 700kbps, but now I'm lucky if I get 100. No exaggeration.
Sprint needs to get their **** together.

This is really getting frustrating. I can open a window in the browser, go to a bookmark and browse just fine. Facebook, weatherbug and xda work. Meanwhile, the google+ app can't connect and if I open a new window in the browser, I cannot get anything to load.
Any suggestions?
I've already done a full wipe, reflashed everything and started over not using any backups.

So last 2 days Pandora have not been working on 3g so I tried today and works on WiFi fine. Now my reception is fine. Says loading.. them goes to 1 or 2% for loading and stays there. Then goes to the next song. So I cleared the app cache and data. Nothing changed. Uninstalled and reinstalled. Same thing. Any ideas. I'm on sprint and I use WiFi all the time and under 1 gig on 3 g. I use Pandora on my motorcycle rides so this is bumming me out as I deleted my mp3s on my sd card by accident and my computer that had about 10 gigs I can't get past the boot screen.

I just tried Pandora; I'm in the Atlanta area. The first song buffered 1% - 40% then started, the second song just started w/o buffering.
maybe sprint is working on towers in your area for the LTE upgrades??
also I have v1.6 installed of Pandora

I wish about three lte upgrade. Live 50 miles from Milwaukee is on the list. I downloaded slacker radio and works fine. So don'tknow. I'll be using that even though I like Pandora better. Thanks

Pandora seems to buffer the songs fine for me, but for some reason (stock rom) when I get a phone call, and then it goes back to play (which it does fine) I cannot open Pandora to quit...strange...
That is strange.

I had the issue as well. I live in Puerto Rico, and the Sprint Network here is really bad... That aside, the main reason of that issue is cuz of poor data connectivity (Intermittent). I switched carrier (to ATT), problem solved.
Bottom line, If the tower that you are connected is not working that well, pandora, gtalk or any other service will give you problems. Does Gtalk sign you out frequently?.

Weird issue. This problem sounds like that one.
In a way it does I guess. But with his phone being another country and stuff I would think it's unrelated. I also can browse the Internet fine even load and browse the play store watch videos there and all. Mail works great. Just seems to be downloading and that YouTube issue
Forgot to mention Netflix works great too. Also straight talk uses att towers so the phone is fully compatible with the bands
It has something to do with download manager I'm pretty sure. Is everyone's version the same as this on att? It says 9005 though makes me think it's wrong.
